Funny how D&D pushed for realism for the most inconsequential things that endangered the cast and crew but not for the writing.

[smr_]

when you find out Emilia Clarke was going through all that quietly, while still giving her best, we cant appreciate her enough.

[John-xrry]

Respect to Liam Cunningham for standing up to D&D like that. Honestly, not enough people talk about how amazing his portrayal of Davos was

[ericschuster]

Worst shooting day on GoT: almost beheading, waterboarding, torturing babies
Worst shooting day on Breaking Bad: they had Anna Gunn sing the "Happy Birtday to you" song multiple times!!

[erodiumminer]

Jesus this is awful. It’s been popular to hate on D&D for how bad the ending was but this is absolutely atrocious. I hope she wins the case

[Tuortot]

This book sounds like it's trying to be the "Haha wow remember those interesting stories from LotR, like Viggo kicking the helm and breaking his toe? Crazy, right? We have stories like that."

And then there are outright abusive and unsafe working conditions scattered about.

[VampireNewl]

That battle of winderfell hurts. Imagine going through all that trouble and pain only for the footage to be damn near unwatchable

[whensomethingcriesagain]

How in the fucking hell did they need 74 takes? That's the kind of number you get from Jackie Chan doing the pure luck stunts in his movies, like catching a pencil he kicked into the air, and the only reason he needs so many takes for those stunts is because they're pure luck as to whether he'll get them or not. So how the fuck do you need that many takes for a shot of carrying a character down a hall

[thedragondemands]

I can’t believe they released this book, they really didn’t know how bad it made them look

[jenniferbaumgarden]

D and D treated the female actresses like props, even the leads. Emilia has also spoken about how they wanted her to be naked ALL the time and Jason Mamoa had to protect her. He was like, "Bring her a goddam robe!" Then Nikolaj Coster-Waldau had to put his foot down and demand that Gwendoline Christie have breaks from wearing her armor that weighed 30lbs.

[ShiddyShad]

Actually, injuring your balls is the first thing I would imagine could go wrong when riding a dragon.

[thearomanticshipper]

It’s criminal seeing how much incredible effort the cast and crew put into making this show, and then the writers are just like “Dany kinda forgot about the iron fleet”.

[carmenworrall]

Although the fandom despises D&D for how they botched the delivery of GOT in the later seasons, I love how people really respect and appreciate the actors and actresses who put so much into their roles. It’s like there’s a general understanding that the issues were beyond their control, and we appreciate what they did to make this show happen

[Elias-qbks]

Brienne closing the "Book of Brothers" before the ink had dried, left me pretty disturbed...

[benc]

David and Dan are horrible people, honestly don’t know how they weren’t questioned

[mappingshaman]

"D and D were known for giving out fake scripts." They did it so often that for two whole seasons they forgot to replace the fake ones with the real ones!

[jking]

I was thrilled to hear that David and Dan will not be apart of House of The Dragon, I was also reading that they kept George R.R Martin out of the loop with seasons 5-8, whereas the show runners for House of The Dragon are relying on him heavily.

[HarduntheRanger]

If anything this proves that the wankers never bothered to storyboard. Insisting on carrying Isaac, using real ice, carrying a real person for the wight...that's the sort of thing you work out in preproduction what shots you're going to need realism and which shots you can use a dummy for. DND didn't know what they were doing so they just put the actors through hell and filmed it all

[TrefferVLPeace]

D&D wanting to "verify" the Baby's gender is really horrifying. That alone would be enough of a reason to hate them, but then they literally torture their actors for "art". I hope they never find work at directing or writing again

[Khilkhameth]

Wait, D&D made Cersei pour a carafe of wine BECAUSE it was WHAT THE FANS WOULD EXPECT?!?!? What about subverting expectations, guys?
