Some of the examples don't seem all that realistic:

"Davos was right that the North, for all their loyalty, won't fight against the Boltons for a desperate cause." As noted under this series' Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole page, the North also refused to help Stannis fight the Boltons even when he outnumbered them.

"Tyrion logically assumes that taking Casterly Rock — the home base of the mines and thus the source of the Lannister riches — will be a blow to the family." That's because it should be a major blow, if only to the morale of the Lannister cause. Theon's capture of Winterfell earlier in the series was a major factor in Robb's defeat, after all.

"The battle as a whole is a great demonstration of Hollywood Tactics and why they don't work." - The question is why they're using Hollywood Tactics in the first place, when the commanders of the living side include many experienced with war, some of them specifically experienced with war against the White Walkers?

"Throughout all of Season 8, Sansa and the rest of the North are hostile to Daenerys despite Jon bending the knee to her." This makes little sense after Daenerys has helped the North fight off the White Walkers. At least some of the Northern lords should consider changing their minds and approaching Daenerys for friendly relations. Them not doing so makes them look extremely ungrateful.
