"Firmly in the anti-woke camp". Yeah, thanks for clearing that up
You remind me of that guy that listened to Rage against the Machine for 30 years and only recently realized he was the machine being raged at.
What do you think the whole point of the orcs, dwarves, elfs and different races were in 99% of the fantasy fiction you've consumed in your life?
that explains such a large swath of people these days that its getting a bit alarming.I did read what you said. None of it has to do with this article unless you think the discussion points are somehow not a reflection of reality? Ditto mate.
Isn’t it lucky that the rest of the world doesn’t exist inside this article ?
The dance of the dragons probably has the most text of any Grrm story in this world (not counting dunk and egg which he also offered to HBO as another potential successor) and it's apparently the one he's kept wanting them to adapt next since 2016, gone through 3 writing teams before he landed on Condal from what the THR article said. It's also seen as the beginning of the end which I think they want to play into and connect to the story of got. I think it can be really good but it also depends on how the audience responds, they might not be in the mood for it and this isn't got which has obvious good guys to support. The production value at least stands out far above any other of the so-called got successors but that doesn't mean a lot of the story doesn't match up.
There is the world of ice and fire and the fire and blood (1 of 2 has been published so far) which are respectively a history on westeros and the rest of the world and a history of the targaryens starting with the conquest of westeros.
Fair points and i agree with you. As i said i am against everything that is deliberately forced on us by the corporate people in Hollywood especially.. What i mean - do i have a problem that a black actor is playing one of the leading characters of the show? Absolutely not. Do i have a problem with the decision of the showrunners to add a black cast just like that for no obvious reason but to be in line with the modern ways of not offending anyone?? YES, YES, and again YES. Just for example - one of my fav movies from the past - Airplane! would be not possible to be done today..just imagine the blackwash and the rage of that pedo jokes scene alone hahahaha The autors and the actors would be crucified in the social media nowdays..We live in a very sad times actually..
Interesting how you went from discussing the casting of a black person to pedophilia. Fascinating how closely related the two are in your mind.
Respectfully, you sound dense.
Am i? So why the heck then there is even a need the Autor to explain himself like in this article : https://ustimetoday.com/george-rr-martin-says-game-of-thrones-is-no-more-anti-woman-than-real-life/ Isn't it because some snowflakes and Karen's of the internet moaned of how poor are the women treated in the GoT World?? We live in a very sad times indeed...
Yes.
A brief comment in response to a question at a convention that notes his stories‘ parallels with medieval Britain is proof that the ‘woke crowd’ is ruining the world...learn something new everyday I guess.
The funny part is these sad shites will complain and complain about the show and yet will watch the show anyway despite being anti-woke. It's honestly hilarious how fecking stupid these people are. If they are going to scream about anti woke and have a hissy fit at any show then at least stand by their convictions and not watch it. Dickheads be dickheads.
I can think of two
I guess the issue was the last 2 seasons weren’t really on paper. As in the book hadn’t been released yet.
GoT got progressively worse until it was basically a collection of "badass" clips for Twitter and TicToc with little to no deeper thought or logic.
The world won’t allow for both to be great. We’re not in that timeline.
United has been winning games so maybe our timeline has shifted...The world won’t allow for both to be great. We’re not in that timeline.
One will be watchable, the other will be straight shite.
That is interesting in contrast to The Rings of Power, where nudity would apparently ruin the whole project. It appears we have an inverse bewbage to quality ratio between the two shows. That merits monitoring going forward, the relative value of the bewbality constant.
This is a completely different team which includes Sapochnik who directed some of the best, most popular got episodes. And the other show runner is Ryan Condal who has been a long time fan of Grrm. There's miles between how d&d talked about got and how these two have spoken about this project so far, of course talk is cheap so we have to see it in action but when the writer himself is very enthusiastic about it that definitely offers some reassurance. He threw some subtle shade about how he's been very happy about how they have adapted his characters so far.
They're two completely different types of stories and worlds. Either way I think it's always good to start these things with an open mind.The world won’t allow for both to be great. We’re not in that timeline.
One will be watchable, the other will be straight shite.
He's a bit of a loon, spent two months making a 90 min documentary on the "true character" of Daenerys. But otherwise seems to respond to things in a normal, balanced way. Basically all of the reviews coming out so far have been good to fantastic. A lot of enthusiasm for it from those that watched, someone said game of thrones meets succession. I dont know about anyone else but that's exactly what I want to hear.

Have to say I'm really looking forward to it. It's been long enough since GoT ended and all the drama surrounding that, and the fact that this isn't a continuation of that story has me excited for it. Hopefully, it lives up to the expectation. Although, I'm not sure how high the expectations are after what happened with GoT. Could be a good thing for the show, actually.Tweet

Happy premiere week. Don't know about you guys but I'm just as excited as I was in the GoT days
I'm looking forward to it although would have preferred something new 100 years or so in the future than the past. The issue with prequels is you already no to an extent where things end up, would have loved to see a new story from this universe going directly to the screen.

That being said, I felt the same about Better Call Saul but have absolutely loved that.
This is a story that's already been finished by grrm. However, its more in a "historical" account form so there's no clear consensus on what actually happened other than obvious things such as clear character deaths, who was where when, who sits on the throne etc. So they have a lot of freedom to fill in on how things happened and character interactions etc. Ryan Condal, the showrunner/writer was asked by George himself after being friends with him for a number of years. Obviously they have changed some things, like character ages etc but Condal seems very intent on telling us George's story rather than a bunch of incoherent bs so that helps.
