Martin revealed one of his greatest frustrations: "You get totally extraneous things like the studio or the network weighing in, and they have some particular thing that has nothing to do with story, but relates to 'Well this character has a very high Q Rating so let's give him a lot more stuff to do.'"
The author had previously said he would have liked the show to run across more series, to give all his complex storylines room. Instead, the HBO team entirely removed some characters or reassigned storylines.
Martin said: “The series has been... not completely faithful. Otherwise, it would have to run another five seasons.”
In the new interview he added: "You know, it’s complex. I’m a little sad, actually. I wish we had a few more seasons."
He's saying that HBO itself is changing the story for what they think it should be,
Elijah Richardson
Oh no he will actually have to get off his ass and write the shit he sells, and even better retards will wait for it with bated breath because it will be better and fix everything and be so very complex and not total manichean crap. Also he will miss on some of that sweet dough because with the end of the series no more revenue. At least that will make his taxes simpler, he wil have the time to discuss it in greater depth in his books.
Xavier Robinson
Oh no, why did they cut out Quentin, he was so important to the story.

Landon Evans
do you honestly wish for less sweet cakes ever? cunt
Wyatt Bailey
Maybe if this fat bastard spent less time bloo blooing about people who actually write on schedule and more time writing his self proclaimed genre defining books HBO might not have had to scramble to shit out an ending. This whiny whale has four years max left on this Earth and I'm so glad he's spending these last few crying about nonsense on Twitter.
Dylan Young
he wants more seasons so he can finish his fucking books, what a hack.
Ian Baker
He's doing fucking spinoff prequel books before finishing ASOIAF so he can fuck right off. If it were up to him the show would just go on indefinitely. The show has a shitload of problems but deciding to tell a complete story instead of dragging it out forever is one thing they are absolutely doing right.
How dare they remove Fat Tom

Bran and Gendry and Rickon and Joffrey and Tommen and Jojen and Dickon and Lancel and Loras are so handsome.

His idiot response is... it's too bad the whole production team, writers, staff, and actors couldn't donate another 5 years of their life while I take my sweet ass time eating at cheesecake factory and shitting out more book diarrhea..

There is no story to be faithful to, you havent written it you fat fuck.

>GEORGE FINISHED TWOW A YEAR MAYBE 2 AGO AND HBO WON'T LET IT RELEASE UNTIL THE SERIES IS OVER. How the fuck does HBO have any power over the publishing of a book series that is 20 years old? And if it was in his contract, such a detail would have leaked after all these years.
Anyone close to him call this selfish bullshit out?
What the fuck is wrong with him?
Cameron Peterson
now he speaks up?
Jace Lopez
He is too rich too care and already sold the rights to HBO.
William Thompson
Got eem
Liam Miller
Obviously, but its win win for him since that allows to sell more books with the 'real' ending. The only issue for him is that with the series ending that means less overall revenue, for a given value of an issue.

Brandon Walker
How is it rude when it’s most likely true? This guy is a true lazy fat bastard who should have had the books done by now.
Jack Lopez
Toriyama's work nowadays is existing and saying something from time to time, so by default Matin is the laziest of the two.
Matthew Peterson
user why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with my post, help me, I want to improve my grammar.
John Johnson
While it's true that the show is a bastardization of the books you still have to be thankful and appreciate just how much of a risk HBO took with got. It literally got the largest cast of all tv series that ever existed, and at the beginning was unique and unproven and could have been a giant money sink. Plus I think Dumb and Dumber have a gigantic pair of brass balls, I legitimately think they're trying to piss off as many people as possible after the last episode. I think they fucked up The Long Night on purpose and are now going out of their way to trigger the SJWs too.
Jose Fisher
>to give all his complex storylines room How about you first START WRITING those "complex storylines" you fat fucking pig? Reminder that this tub of lard hasn't written a single word of WoW yet, every "released" snippet has just been material he cut from Dance.
Jordan Myers
Real David Bowie?
Robert Richardson
He's a jew. Mr Martin got cucked by a jew.
David Allen
they would have fucked it up anyway.
there was material for a better story set up in ADWD and AFFC. they just abandonned plotlines and focused on their own.
Landon Rogers
How can they be unfaithful when he refuses to finish the books
Easton Cox
How is Toriyama lazy? He actually finished his series
Matthew Perez
Yes he as very active in that forum a long time ago
Colton Smith
>I think they fucked up The Long Night on purpose
I think the Long Night is the one thing they planned properly as early as season 5, and that it's going to look like sheer kino in comparison with the remainder of the series.
>I think some people with a real sharp eye might even catch a few subliminal flashes of the phrases "this is for you, trainee bench boy" or "a cunt am I?" during the video for Dancing in the Street Fucking hell Bowie had a sharp wit even after decades of drug use
Blake Rivera
This. I remember people unironically worrying that books will spoil the ending for showfags because nobody thought the fat bastard would fail to write a single fucking thing in almost a decade

Lincoln Hernandez
>can't write books >can't even write an outline for D&D >can't even write a cheat sheet He has no idea how to finish it. He's afraid of it being too nice or cold.
Fads fade. Salaries go up. People (lead actors) want to leave the show. 5 years is a long time to commit to, even for the most successful shows.
Alexander Hughes

Joseph Sullivan
Keep fucking coping, redditor. You fucks have been repeating this bullshit for so long you have started to believe it, but there's literally NOTHING to back that up and it doesn't make any fucking sense in the first place. Face it, your "hero" hasn't given a shit about the series in a decade and hasn't written a word of Winds yet. You will NEVER get another book.
Jaxon Evans
I dont think Miura even draws anymore. The switch to digital was probably just an excuse to dump his workload on his assistants.
Christian Butler

Blake Ward
Shit, I never even checked if a new chapter came out after un-potatoes Casca sees Gutts for the first time. Looks like she is about to get a panic attack
Dylan Myers
>Salaries go up. This is the main thing. Something like the Walking Dead can get away with a small pool of main characters meaning they don't get tied into as many salary battles. GoT already has Jon, Dany, Tyrion, Jaime, Cersei, Arya, Sansa, Bran, Bronn, Sandor, Jorah, Sam, Theon, Varys, Gendry who were all involved since season 1 and will have had substantially increased pay either through union rules or agent negotiations, which would only increase with more seasons. Then a bunch more who started in season 2, more in season 3, the cost for all those actors is huge and part of why so many characters were cut or culled. No-one can afford to maintain such a big ensemble consistently for 10 seasons.
Hudson White
I just want last books desu, I want to see if cersei reunites with myrish swamp.
Oliver Scott
George is just sitting on the rest of his story until the show ends. Then he can build hype by advertising his books as the true ending, which will undoubtedly lead to more buyers looking to soothe their butt damage from the show.

Does this retard believe people would want to watch a whole season of Dany shitting in the grass, and Tyrion on a fucking boat with Guts and a dozen literally whos?

Juan Myers

Connor Sanchez
"People", as in, desperate coping redditors have been saying that because they couldn't deal with the fact that Gurm doesn't give a fuck anymore and they came up with a bullshit conspiracy theory they repeated so much they eventually started believing it and considering it a fact "everyone knows".
There's no fucking evidence or reason to believe that. Absolutely fucking zero. If anything it's more believable that the fat fucktard hasn't even started yet.

It was pretty obvious the "ending is gonna be the same" was just HBO pressuring him to not drive away any sales He's gonna change basically everything he can once the series is over, because who the fuck wants to read something you already know the ending of

Wasn't his next boom due in 2017?
Connor Moore
>he's still writing He's not. Wake the fuck up. He doesn't care. He has already started talking about famous authors who couldn't finish their work before they died. The fucker 100% intends to die before finishing because he wrote himself into a corner and that way he can pretend that he WOULD have had the perfect ending if he only didn't tragically die before completing it. He has also said he wants all of his notes destroyed, which will conveniently prevent anyone from realizing he had fuck all done.

Both. Those creators were active and creative when they were struggling to make a living. After they became famous and rich, they stopped giving a shit and got lazy and stopped caring about finishing their stories.
