    If GRRM and HBO fall out like that, it’s bad news for any of the spinoffs they have planned.

    If GRRM and HBO fall out like that, it’s bad news for any of the spinoffs they have planned.

    But good news for the fans if HBO doesn't really care much beyond making a franchise out of this world

    This man GRRM don't care about f***ing up the bag at all

    Can someone post Martins rant without spoiler

  • Sep 5, 2024

    the problem with adaptations is even if the studio doesn't force them to make changes, showrunners will always want to feel like they did something

    its human nature to feel bad for simply copying someone else's work 1:1

    This was basically my exact reaction for almost all of season 2

    I do understand some of the complaints and critiques though, but overall I’m still really enjoying the show

    Yeah I get the critiques, especially from GRRM, still enjoyed it overall. The worst part is HBO literally cutting 2 f***ing episodes from the season resulting in an anticlimactic ending.

    Internet's went double on the feeding frenzy now that George gave them the greenlight to s*** on the show though and it's

    "To zoom out a bit, I think we have to view this matter with a wider lens, looking at the history of how things have gone with HBO. Lets leave GoT's finale aside, as I agree with many (speculating here!) that George did not say anything because of his own feeling that he was partially to blame due to not having finished the series.

    Concurrent with the last season, HBO developed a number of potential successors. It went forward with the extremely expensive pilot called Bloodmoon, despite George having expressed strong reservations, and it failed to launch. HBO then pivoted to have George much more involved, trusting his sense of what could work and what couldn't from his world. The Dance was his own personal pitch, he hand-picked an experienced show runner and screenwriter who was an acquaintance and who was deeply invested in the books (Condal's not lying about having been a fan of the books since 2000 or 2001, he's more than established his bonafides on that score based on our conversations), and George played a deep role in developing and breaking that first season with Condal and his mini-writers room (which included Ti Mikkel, one of George's assistants, and a writer for S2). He was integral to this show going forward and getting picked up straight to series. He has invested a good deal in it.

    All along, though, he has not actually had any real creative control, because of the contract when he sold the rights to ASoIaF to HBO. Any say he has had after the show got picked up has, essentially, been a courtesy. A courtesy well-attended to by Condal, in the first season. And seemingly at the S2 writer's room, which George attended and spoke positively about. But something changed after that, it seems, in the process of writing and producing the second season. To what degree this relates to HBO cutting two episodes or otherwise tightening budget, and to what degree it relates to narrative choices that Condal and his other writer-producers are making above and beyond addressing those budgetary/production challenges, is something only George and the writers really know."

    The problem is that HBO straight up told the showrunners that they didn’t have the budget to do a full season lmao . The season was supposed to have 2 more episodes and we were going to get a giant battle .

    So season 2 is basically an incomplete season that is mostly just more build up

    I’m still enjoying it overall, but they just haven’t been handling the pacing of the show very well. And there have been some questionable changes from the books

    The Burning Mill episode in season 2 was amazing imo though . But Season 3 will have to really hit the ground running , they don’t have anymore room for error tbh
