Do you think he’s rich enough to afford whatevers keeping all the old political ghouls alive

Also do y’all ever wonder if the reason the book is taking so long is because the TV show ending is how he was actually going to do it but he saw how hated it was and is now just in a panic unable to think of a good ending

I have a feeling all the “big” stuff is mostly the same, like John killing dany, him going back to the wall, dany losing it and slaughtering innocent people, all that. Those pieces were fine. They could easily be written to work. The show runners are just fucking horrible at their job and mashed all this shit into a season that was shorter than usual. People hated it because it was forced. In theory the book shihave plenty more time to make sense

Same, I didn’t have an issue with what happened so much as how it happened. For example, the fact that Dany lost her second dragon was fine, but the way it happened was plain stupid. The guy who did it uses magic in the books, but in the show they basically cut that and replaced the spooky dread captain with a generic, but edgy pirate.

Instead of a magical explanation for why his fleets are overpowered, or why he has so many ships. It’s just kind of written off as 'they made some ships (despite his island specifically having no trees or natural resources, ya know, the reason they’re raiders) and a nearly deus ex machina technological improvement that counters dragons.

Dany in Westeros was never going to make sense with the entire fAegon plot axed.
