The disney ending is not realistic - or at least not as believable

Why not?
Sure it's probably stupid to say it's not realistic, when it's a fantasy series, so it's not realistic by definition. However within that I want believability, that even in the WOT sometimes the price of victory makes you (the fan) wonder if the price was too high to make it worthwhile. Now WOT >> ASoIaF, but the one thing that has over WOT is you never can take a characters surviving or living happily ever after for granted. I want some grit to the story, not all sugared ending.

Agreed. The series is formulaic and predictable, and even I expected a few more twists.

It's a well told story with fun characters overall, but it's definitely not "War & Peace"

I've always thought of this series (and fantasy in general) are a bit like Aesop's Fables

No, those are disbeliefs that you must suspend.

You have to feel the characters are somehow believable to empathize with them.

I'm not arguing that it necessarily does for everyone, just that YOU HAVE TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF
