George RR Martin was also not satisfied with the end of Game of Thrones and joins an already long list of disappointed fans. In a recent interview, the renowned writer remarked that he wanted the series to have “at least 10 seasons. Maybe 12 or 13”. Read more here!
The arrival of House of the Dragon got almost everyone talking about game of Thrones (if at some point they stopped talking about one of the most successful series in history). One of those who (again) commented on the controversial and disappointing ending of GoT It was nothing more and nothing less than George R.R. Martinthe author of the original book saga.
The eighth and final season of game of Thrones it ended in 2019, but it seems that three years is not enough to overcome its end. From shortening story arcs to rushing the resolutions of some major plotlines (the battle with the Night King and who gets to stay on the Iron Throne), several fans criticized (and criticize to this day) the series finale harshly.
Although the adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire managed to extend beyond the books that the author published to date. George R.R. Martin joined the list of people who mark the end of game of Thrones as precipitate. The writer remarked that he insisted David Benioff and DB Weiss (series creators) who GoT I needed more seasons.
“I said that it should be 10 seasons at least. Maybe 12 or 13. I lost that requestMartin told The Wall Street Journal. Some fans may believe that it is not a matter of lengthening the series, but of the story developing in a better way, but who knows. Maybe those two extra seasons would have made a difference. We will be left with the doubt (and the bitterness of the end).
Previously, George R.R. Martin had already said that his participation in the creative part of game of Thrones It decreased with the passing of the seasons. However, he mentioned it again: “I didn’t contribute to the last few seasons except, you know, inventing the world, the story, and all the characters. I think I have more influence now (in House of the Dragon) than in the original program.
That is why House of the Dragon It has a lot of potential to continue the Westeros franchise in the best way. The author’s participation in the new spin-off can give confidence to several fans who were hurt. After all, Martin personally chose the screenwriter Ryan County to command the series and convinced the director Miguel Sapochnik to return to this world after Game of Thrones.
In turn, the writer mentioned that the process to develop House of the Dragon was unconventional, as five separate teams prepared concepts for the series and pitched them to Martin. “It was like a playoff in the soccer league with me coaching all the teams. Emotionally it was a bit strange”, he explained.
Yes ok House of the Dragon is the first spin-off of game of Thrones that opens, let us remember that it will not be the only one. The franchise has several projects in its sights, from The Hedge Knight, The Sea Snake and Ten Thousand Ships until the sequel starring Jon Snow. “How many shows will air? I don’t know, but I hope that the answer will be several, and we will have something similar to the model of Marvel either starwars for when everything is resolved”clarified Martin. Is the Cinematic Universe coming from GoT?
