lol I'm sure he had to delete it for legal reasons because he still has deals with HBO

[automaticpeople]

Where was this for GOT???

[buries]

Out of everything… why is he so upset about Fire and Blood when Game of Thrones butchered so much?

House of the Dragon is fine. (I agree with his comment re: Maelor, but, dude, take the L and go in hard on Game of Thrones instead!)

What I’ve heard was GRRM initially viewed this as a chance to “get it right” where GoT failed so that’s why he’s so salty.

I think a lot of the mess of GoT's ending rests with GRRM. I do not believe he gave them an outline from how to get from Point A where the character was in AFFC/ADWD when we last saw them to Point B of where they're supposed to be at the end of TWOW.

People can complain about how Lady Stonehart or Young Griff were cut from the story, and maybe they would have had some important plotline but since the book series is unfinished we'll never know what was or how it intersects with other characters.

With HotD though we had completed source material so it's clear for the most part what happened (some stuff is up for question like who burned Harranhal - was it Daemon or someone else, was Jaehaera murdered, etc...), it just had to be adapted to the screen but for some reason they decided to go the direction of making it center around a relationship between Alicent & Rhaenyra that didn't exist and have made a lot of very bizarre changes.

Imagine if he put this much effort into finishing his damn book lmfao

Lol this is so petty. Some people just cannot handle adaptations of their work. If GOT did not exist I believe ASOIAF would be finished by now.
