George RR Martin vs HBO took an Ugly Turn (House of the Dragon)

Author of the book series, A Song of Ice and Fire that Hbo has adapted into
Game of Thrones / HotD / A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms

It’s crazy how much ego showrunner adapters have. They really just wanna take someone else’s franchise hostage and it hurts the overall story quality

[akchanneltv]

Yeah, I personally think that the HBO executive crossed a line. Anyone with eyes would see that this season was subpar at best

[Supernovice]

Show writers need to shed their arrogance when adapting written works, they should adapt but not change. It’s not about them, it’s about the works their adapting. They should be humble and realise they are a steward not the creator.

[Prince-eh]

Funny thing is the ending blew the directors chances of getting that star wars deal so they rushed game of thrones for nothing lol

[bryansylvestrew]

Yeah at least with game of thrones they have the excuse that the books weren't done yet, fire and blood has been out for years at this point and the dance is literally the most recorded part of it. HBO be slippin'.

[Tillu_Noob]

HBO is going to pull another GOT S8 with A knight of the seven Kingdoms beacuse the dunk and egg novellas series is still incomplete and they are going to release the series in 2025 consisting of 6 episodes.He has every right to criticize HBO's adaptation beacuse it's his work they are ruining not their own.

They repeated the scene of Corlys talking to Alyn 3 times, same dialogue, same dock, 3 times. Even the worst seasons of GOT didnt make that kind of mistake.

[Draconianoverlord]

This is good, maybe now George won't waste time in tv shows and get to write books

[danielcastaneda]

sara hess, ryan condall . These dumb writers should not be hired for anything ever again

[aegorbittersteel]

Sometimes changes are good or just necessary but the original metal should be more respected. I can't believed they seem to also disrespecting grrm

[johnnyparkinsons]

Anyone seen condal and hess’s work before hotd? Its actually insane that they got put in charge of house of the dragon, neither has produced a single notable quality project prior to this and it shows with how they’re ruining hotd.

[chrishickey]

HotD season 2 was complete garbage. There's no way I'll be watching a third season, and has confirmed my belief that HBO can not adapt anything from this universe. So there is no way I'll be watching Hedgeknight.

[ZealouswolfNZ]

I can't stand Hess as a writer and don't know how she is taken seriously in the writers room. My reason being is from the behind the epusode of season 1 when she says she came up with the idea of Rhaenys and Meleys bursting through the floor just for cool factor

[obsidian]

He NEEDS to STOP selling his work TO HBO from here on out...PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

[BrandonSaez-pr]

They needed Miguel Sapochnik for this series he’s the reason why season 1 was almost a masterpiece.

[marcneef]

When budget is a problem with your most popular show, you are basically failing as a streaming service.

[yugrise]

NOW!...Im concerned about rhaenyras storyline. Im 100% sure it will be diffrent in a worst way from the book. Ryan is a crazy and delusional show runner.

[Slop_Dogg]

maybe its time to say enough with the tv shows george. lets get workin on the book. lets go champ. you can do it buddy.

[Vantoris]

Bro thank you for not being a ass kisser like some other GOT & HotD content creators.

[blueveil]

He wasn’t forced to sell the TV rights for his adaptation, he sold his legacy down the river
