Game of Thrones - "House Of The Dragon" Official Threads (NO SPOILERS....ZERO)

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

When cgi gets better do yall think they will do a show on how the targs took over westores

This is what I want.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Targset firmly on top where we posed to be. It's lit brehs and brehettes

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

What does this have to do with what GRRM told them about how to end the story?

I'm sorry all this paints a nice picture but this idea that we know exactly how this show crumbled is bullshyt. . D&D were big shots getting all these other opportunities so they just burned through the show with no fukks given. Its a nice neat narrative that gives us obvious figures to hate but the reality is things probably didn't go exactly like that. So we should stop talking about these things like they 100% happenend in whatever way makes us feel good.

GRRM said he told them himself

George RR Martin Told 'Game Of Thrones' Showrunners The 'Major Points' Of His Ending

Will Game of Thrones on HBO end the same way as George RR Martin's books? The author himself has something to say on the issue.

"Well, to a degree. I mean, I think … the major points of the ending will be things that I told them, you know, five or six years ago," Martin said. "But there may also be changes, and there’ll be a lot added."

They've said themselves that they veered off, and Martin has said the ending is different. Some things are the same, like Bran being king. But just based on where the books are going a lot of that shyt ain't happening. They took a short cut and it cost them. I get they didn't want to squeeze out 1-2 more seasons and doing various things Martin is doing (Euron becoming the next major villain, Dorne potentially siding with Aegon against Dany, etc). But they really have no excuse for what they did. Could have easily just fleshed out those last two seasons, made each 10 episodes and even if it still landed where it did I think people would have liked it more. Fleshing out Dany's madness for instance. Making the final battle between the Lannisters and Targ army feel like more than an epilogue after the big Winterfell battle with the Nights King. Speaking of that nikka...giving him more time to cook instead of everything ending in one night with Arya murking him.

Spot on.

Not only did they drop the ball not fleshing out Dany’s heel turn (something they fukked up so bad they felt they had to have a voiceover in the episode recap before The Bells ep to literally tell the audience that Targs are sometimes prone to insanity) and killed the night king way too soon but they also neglected their characters.

They dumbed down Varys and Littlefinger, turned Dany, Arya and Sansa into monotone bots with zero charisma. Sansa especially should have learned from Littlefinger and had been charming and manipulative. A Sansa that is using what she learned from Littlefinger and Cersei would have made Dany think they were best friends the whole time instead of straight up being a c*nt to the most powerful woman on the planet and most important ally. They really sapped the charisma out of a lot of characters and wrote season 7/8 like a marvel movie. Corny jokes and action scenes.

This series looks to be a return to the earlier seasons. We’ll see. But I can tell you right now Sapochnik is a beast and GRRM loves Ryan Condal so I’m optimistic.

I feel a lot more confident having recently learned they’re pulling from source material

 

[Leavingtheecstasy]

Gonna be good as shyt

 

[THE 101]

The best shyt about GoT was the political intrique and power plays at King's Landing. This show looks like it focuses heavily on that kinda stuff so i'm all the way in.

 

[winb83]

How were they not, anybody competent enough as a writer is not doing what they did to the characters of Tyrion, dani and Jaime

Those weren't their characters to begin with though.

 

[Foxmulder]

I loved Season 7 and 8. Game of Thrones is my #1 show of all time.

 

[HiiiPower]

So what?

Weird ass take when most of these other good adaptations of existing characters are written by showrunners who didn’t create the character

Spoiler: Same trailer not extended.

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

There was a time when this thread would have been dozens of pages deep just over the mere mention of a trailer.

GOT fell awwwfff.

Can House of the Dragon restore the feeling?

Seems like a lot of brehs are taking the attitude of wait and see.

There's another thread on here that is many pgs deep about the show. Once it hits, I'm sure things will pop off again.

that is how I felt initially but after seeing the final trailer and finding out more about the premise/basis for the show, I’m on some “must see” shyt now…can’t wait

 

[Grand Conde]

The original had some well known names such as Charles Dance, Sean Bean and Lena Headey.

Don't think I know anybody in this.

Doctor Who?
