All that shyt could be explained with not even a bit of heavy creative lifting but I won't go into it because it would involve spoilers.ignore how keeping a character who's supposed to die alive drastically effects the story because of ratings brehs
what would doing that mean for Tyrion? he gets saved in a trial by combat again and then what? nobody gets blamed for the jofferey murder? what are the effects of that in King's Landing breh? how does that change the dynamic between the Lannister family breh? how does that effect the rest of the realm's perception of them breh? in their eyes tyrion just killed the king and got to walk away freely. how does he continue to stay in king's landing after that? Cersei gon hire some assassins or what? cuz she aint just gon let it go like that. Mind you Tywin had just added Oberyn to the council, now he gets involved in that plotline how does his character effect it? He's supposed to be dead, his opinion shouldn't even be in the council at that point. shyt is Oberyn even gonna fukk with them after the fight or is he gonna try to kill Tywin immediately after?
you see how much extra shyt they would have to change and work around just to keep Oberyn going?
shyt has nothing to do with me wanting it the be the exact same way as in the books(but i like how you assumed that just so you could make your opinion seem more valid) cuz i like when they make certain changes to enhance the story, but that's the key word nikka, ENHANCE, not completely alter, you straight up not even thinkin about how it would effect the story as a whole just cuz you liked the character
And a live Oberyn would enhance the show more than a dead one.
