Part of the issue with GoT was that it was a show that habitually killed what seemed like main characters. So for some characters to essentially have super-powers seemed a bit odd. That being said, Dany and Jon were both obviously going to make it to the end. There was going to be a Clegane bowl. Arya and Bran (after he became the 3 eyed Raven) were likely to survive.
The tone and realism of the show definitely changed though. Lesser characters like Sam, Brienne, etc...all became invincible too. A show that once featured people dieing from battle wounds, now had characters surviving being neck deep in zombies.
