@@m0zric okay don't act like some internet Dalai Lama. First of all how can anybody hold someone in contempt not personally? Your sentence makes no sense. Second of all, if you really want to hear it, then yeah, D&D wasted the potential of the incredible story and we will most likely never in this reality have a chance of fixing their mistake. They deserve to die for spitting on the art, just like barbarians that burned scrolls of Alexandrian Library deserve to be turned into ashes as well. I am 100% sure that GRRM is - to say the least - irritated by that situation, it was clear from the moment when they spoiled Hodor reveal and George was clearly saddened for not being able to make that reveal himself. Destroying the rest of his legacy - in cinematic version - definitely made him angry. Because of that I would prefer that he said the truth about his feelings about this bullshit instead of trying to be nice to those two jackasses out of his professional courtesy. But that is his call. I dont know if you aimed that question at me but that is the answer. If talentless people will keep getting away with ruining a true beauty we will soon wake up in the world as colorful as concrete. To not let that to happen, a personal backlash is necessary.

Artvr Rvtra Holding someone in contempt publically is different from keeping it a private matter, so yes it does make sense. Wasting the potential of something is quite different than burning something to the ground, or erasing knowledge from the human zeitgeist. GRRM’s novels are not to the like of the historical documents that have been destroyed as a means of ethnic cleansing, nor do D&D deserve to die for failing to satisfy your expectations of a TV-show, you fucking lunatic. It’s not hard to imagine why GRRM hasn’t released a continuation of his series with fanatics like you breathing down his neck, as if he’s the next Shakespeare. Nothing is destroyed, nothing is erased. What the fuck is wrong with you? You are not the arbiter of artistic beauty.

Don't think even that it was their boredom. I just don't think those two are very creative. The moment they lost the source material and had to come up with their own dialogues, twists and turns, it became stale. I think the main problem was that GoT happened too early. You have to finish the show, but the source material will never be in time for it. If you wait for the source material, your actors will become an issue (think of child actors growing up, or old ones dying) With luck there will be another GoT in 10 years, when the books are done. If they're done in 10 years :D

George is definitely dragging along in finishing the series but it didn't need to be finished for Dan & Dave to have done a better job.

I disagree. Just because something is fiction, doesn't mean that all fictional variations are equally true. The very concept of "cannon" is that there is a true form of fictional universe and an alternate form. If Martin is content to call Game of Thrones equally true to his novel series, that's his pejorative, but not all fiction works that way. I'm certain the author of Gone With the Wind would disagree that Scarlett only has one child and also has 3. The author wrote 3 children, that's what's true. The movie is an adaption, not an exact translation of her work. As a writer, I'd have to disagree with his stance completely.

GRR Martin takes the time to explain how complicated a creative process is, especially for showrunners who have so many variables to deal with (having the money, getting the consensus among so many stakeholders, etc.). And yet, you still have people posting messages full of hate towards D&D, calling them "Dumb and Dumber" etc. God damn, I disliked season 6-7, I hated season 8, but I still have respect for those who made it, including D&D. Creating a show of this scale is already a miracle, no matter the plot holes or debattable character development. YES, they have done their job. Don't be demeaning because you did not like the final result. And as a side note: All the righteous fans who claim to be the true defenders of Martin's work by trashing the show: you are probably scaring the s*** out of him and are probably one of the reason why HIS creative process is even slower now than it was in the past.

The lesson to be learned here is not adapt a series of literature when, 1; it's not complete, 2; the incomplete complexity of the novels, 3; don't hire egotistical hacks who are pursuing self glory because eventually it leads to disaster, (which DandD are now disgraced due to the Austin Film Festival). There are various other reasons but this three are the main ones.

The fact that Martin is a true writer of fictional book series, on par easily with Tolkien and Dan and Dave were able to convince Martin to run and write the show...I think if their publicist or someone else in their inner circle shoulda told them to show up and defend themselves a bit more, minus self flagellation, how does that help...they sound like they got burnt out possibly in every way u can be. That they are young and privileged white guys don’t assume anyone else gave D and D RRrrrrrs OK,but yea, they were lucky that he didn’t ask them more before he decided they were good enough to not only write and run a great show, but do so consistently, especially in the final season, but seasons 5 thru 7 needed work too....a lot. Still I give them an overall A - ,on their job on the show minus 8; with 8, I give this series a B, still pretty good. I will read the books and am sure as long as Rrrrrrrrr is still alive we will get a more appropriate ending to this one of a kind epic saga.

I seriusly wonder if his will is so strong to endure the amount of criticism that may come once the his books are finished. Despite the fact that the TV show's final seasons were an utter disaster in many ways, much of the serious criticism the endind received had to do with the themes of the story. Scarlet had 3 childern in the book, one in the movie but was a terrible mother in both. The message was the same :savy business women are terrible mothers, women should stay at home and let men run the world.

I agree with you. If he still writes an ending where Dany commits genocide, where Jon kills Dany, where they choose Bran, and send Jon to the wall......It will remain a cynical, devastating, nihilistic ending. I don't know if anyone would find it satisfying.
@ivanrenic42435 жыл бұрын
@@Diamondsrfvr the main idea for the ending is great because that's Game of Thrones, a realistic and a not always just and happy story. That's exactly what the ending is. Jon was sent to the wall or there would've been another war, besides Jon never wanted to be king or lord. Sansa learned about the game of thrones and became the lady queen of Winterfell, Dany fought her whole life not to become her father but failed in the end. The only problem I have is: Why Bran as king? And why is he so evil in the last season, like he actually plotted to become king. And the south is now basically just a colony of the north? And I have a problem with how it's executed. I think the story needed at least 2 seasons more to make the changes of the characters' personalities and emotions more realistic and believeable.

@@Diamondsrfvr Oh, come now, read the Daenerys chapters again. She learned about the world from her brother, all she was taught is that she deserves Westeros. She was then carried around the world with no control, still with a very black and white mentality. Then, when Jorah suggest to buy slaves, she accept, doesn't see someting wrong. It is only when she learns about their terrible life conditions that she hesitates. She tries to dehumanize them(they are not men). It doesn't work, she decides to kill the slave master. She orders the death of any slave master except children under 12. No time to judge, just get rid of them all. She continues to Yunkai, then to Meeren. When she see 163 children crucified, she impulsively takes the decision to kill the same number in Meeren, without knowing who did that(this is why separation of power is good, people). Then, after Barristan told her about Aerys and the people she freed are starving, she decides to stay and reign, to clear the mess she created. In book 5, she tries her best, ends up making compromise even. But when she sees Drogon in danger, she choose to go with him-and kills hundred people in the process. She also realise her husband tried to kill her. In her mind, this fail means her task was impossible, the country to "barbaric". Do you think that after all this, she will be as inclined to be diplomatic, hum?

Something in his contract with them doesn’t allow him to criticize them or their adaptation publicly in any way, shape, or form. Also, there is the notion of, “you’ll never work in this town again”, lingering in the back of the minds of writers and actors and such who want to stay true to the source material. If you show any kind of passion or desire for originality and wanting to keep your integrity, that’s fine, but if Hollywood senses that you might be a problem because of this for some reason. Like for example, that you’re a Marlon Brando type who wants to stay true to the art form and will not compromise (or commercialize) on the project. If they get the feeling that you’re “difficult to work with.” If you show any sign of being that actor or writer or whatever who will blurt our honest and truthful realities about projects and what’s going on behind the scenes. That’s it. You’re done! Word will spread to other studios, directors, CEO’s etc. Your career in film making will be done. Like Kim Wexler says in ‘Better Call Saul’ when Jimmy McGill tells her to sue her own legal firm. She said: “even if I win. Who would hire me after that? It would be career suicide.” That’s exactly why people like GRRM and Peter Dinklage (who normally have integrity and passion and want to stay true to the source material) don’t say a word when David Benioff and Dan Weiss make GRRM’s work into soulless mainstream commercialized crap. The actors and GRRM could have protested and fought D&D every step of the way when they started f’ing up the story and they could have won. But life goes beyond GoT and GRRM and all the actors have to eat after GoT as well. Once the suits at the top in Hollywood (and in business in general) spread the word that you should be blackballed, that’s it. You become a pariah in the film making industry. Like a leper. Everyone will avoid you. And film makers or TV makers have shown these artist over and over again that they don’t care about the fan’s immersion into the story as much as business and having their way. So recasting people and totally breaking the immersion, continuity, believability etc is no problem for them. As much as it annoyed me to see a totally different looking Dario Naharis on the show or a totally different looking 3-eyed raven. The suits don’t care. The showrunners don’t care. The show must go on and people who cannot be worked with for some reason will be replaced. No matter how much it changes or damages the show or breaks immersion into the story (for the watchers). It’s all about money and ego. A single actor or a single writer or a bunch of actors and writers will never have power over studio execs and showrunners. They’ll burn the whole project to the ground before they let “the talent” make demands or order them around or tell them what to do in any way, shape, or form. I imagine that big stars really have to tiptoe to correct some of the doofus mistakes that the suits and directors make (which are obvious to the fans and anyone that will watch the movie/show). If you open your mouth to say that David and Dan we’re wrong. David’s daddy will come after you and will sic the suits on top after you. You will lose money and current projects you’re working on will drop you like a bad habit. This is how business works. Important people at the top are to be obeyed and left alone. Talent and integrity or staying true to the art is worthless to the suits and all the important bigshots on top. GRRM can’t stand up against rich people like David Benioff. His father will crush GRRM. The Hollywood execs will crush GRRM. Book publishers and investors will drop GRRM. It’s that tight of a crew! It’s like the mafia. You don’t go against the family. Once they decide to kick you out, you’re out! You’ll never work again. So that’s why you get stupid comments and answers from the actors and GRRM about the show’s obvious demise. They don’t wanna get in trouble. Voltaire said: “If you want to know who’s in charge, find out whom you’re not allowed to criticize.”

Just listening to this it’s pretty clear the ending in the show is gonna be close to the books end. He may take a different route to get there but we definitely looking at a similar ending for the major 5 characters. Much as ppl hate D&d you might want to get use to that ending bc Grrm may never finish the books. 10 years and still no WOW.. and there’s one more after that… the show ending is the ending. It may not be exactly what grrm has in mind but I’m sure it’s pretty close. D&d didn’t execute it right but this is what it is

I thought season 7 was great and had some of the best scenes of the entire series. Watching Daenarys kick ass with her dragons or the epic way the Queen of Thorns went out were all incredibly well done. Tyrion is the character that suffered the most once the show veered away from the books. D&D had no understanding of that character at all. But I'll agree in season 8 the whole show just went to shit. They ruined nearly every character and applied some of the laziest dumbest writing I've ever seen.

It would actually have been somewhat fantastic if we could have had a convincing pivotal moment within the story itself. At some conceived/contrived demarkation where it A) Goes this way, the way of the show that we will see now. . . or B) The world as it might have been (if they had -- more time, seems obvious but be creative!). A similar problem happened during Spartacus because of the poor man dying on us! A real legend like him was impossible to replace but I feel they did a very smart job pivoting back to their powerful cast and embellishing new people, almost as a fan service necessity. But that's Sam Raimi at the helm and the story at large is already told. His real job was the details. And my. gods. the details.
