I'm seeing a lot of hate towards David Benioff & D. B. Weiss, and while it's alright to be upset, context is important. I feel like people need to be reminded of the insurmountable task that they have been facing for the past few years.
D&D signed up to adapt A Song of Ice and Fire. "Adapt" being the key word. When the show began, GRRM had publicly stated that he fully expected the sixth and possibly even the seventh novel to be published before the series ended. GRRM has struggled to keep his promise, and as a result D&D have now been forced to finish a story that the mastermind himself is struggling to complete.
They bit off more than they expected to chew, and on top of that GoT turned out to be the most popular television show on the planet, so everyone is watching them.
They didn't ask for this. They didn't ask to have 12 million people scrutinizing their job creating a story that wasn't meant for them to create. They just wanted to adapt their favorite book series.
Nonetheless, the show is hugely popular and GRRM's books can't help them anymore.
People wonder why the final seasons are so short when clearly there's so much story to tell, but isn't it obvious? D&D are likely incredibly tired and overwhelmed. They've been at this thing for years and it's only gotten more difficult as time has gone on. They have other interests and career ideas to pursue. The longer the show goes on, the longer they have to deal with the fan's scorn, and the more chances they have to screw everything up.
I commend them for finishing the series and I'm excited to see what ending they have in store for us. I can't imagine how difficult it must be.
This has to be a joke. Boo hoo their job is hard? Then get someone better. They're hacks and they've been exposed
Carter Rogers
They were upfront about caring the most about getting to the Red Wedding. The decent thing to do would have been giving GoT to other showrunners that do actually care about the story beyond that point. But they didn't, it shows and they deserve to be mocked for fucking up the last 4 seasons so spectacularly.
Charles Parker
thats why they shorted characters stories and ended the show sooner when george wanted 9 or 10 FULL seasons
Jose Gutierrez
nice try dabid
Jack Perez
They could have handed it off to someone who wanted to run it
Lucas Parker
I actually agree martin is to blame, he's a fat loser who couldn't finish his series after 2 decades, He should get his teeth kicked in at all those cons he goes to.
Brayden Rogers
>inb4 muh jews
Jack Davis
>george wanted 9 or 10 FULL seasons
of what? You know they have to make the story compelling the fat fuck couldn't even write his one episode per season on time.
Tyler Kelly
>Then get someone better. someone better wasnt there to turn the books into a TV show. they made it happen.
Carter Hughes
this but ironically
Ethan Ramirez
every time some headline ends with "a ___ for___" or "an __ on__ " i immediatly assume the writer has a huge dildo up his ass
Camden Lee
I hope you die of anal cancer OP you retarded fucking faggot. Fuck you and dabid
i agree with the caveat that the show was always trash (just less so than now) because the source material is genre fiction garbage of the worst type, fantasy, written by a hack slob.
Zachary Edwards
Yeah except they didn't adapt shit from the fourth or fifth books. It started being retarded fan fiction long before they ran out of material.
Jonathan Bailey
No sympathy. Their meltdown started at the end of season 4 at the latest where they still had three seasons worth of content to adapt, and HBO literally offering them budget for more.
Logan Jackson
Benioff is the fookin legund who wrote X Men Origins Wolverine.
Luke Price
can i commission from you drawfags a scene of D&D blasting coke rails while butt-fucking the cast?
Dominic Moore
I’m sorry. I’ll leave Britney alone, too.
Connor Edwards
go bakc to reading and fapping over Tolkien you virgin faggot NEET who thinks its cool to be contrarian and dislike the most popular story of the last decade and one of the best TV shows ever made Fuck i hate faggots like you who hate on game of thrones because its not perfect, it isn't perfect but it is goddamn the best thing on tv right now in terms of the moral themes, production andf special effects and scale. Your shitty good vs evil childrens story is dogshit by comparison and you should kys, normal people dont autistically rant about this shit faggot
Alexander Jenkins
they left plenty of plotlines off the table
Connor Young
it's not really contrarian to dislike poorly written genre fiction if you're regularly engaged intellectually at a certain level. not a particular fan of tolkien either.
as for the tv show, the writing and performances have always been embarrassing.
Justin Gray
Did you really just copypaste a fucking reddit post you filthy normie scum? You need to go back faggot.
They could always step down. Or hire better writers. But really they could've atleast done a better job honoring the spirit of Martin. They went overboard with the empowering "badass" scenes, especially for the female characters. And due to that, they attracted a ton of dumb bitches who now are mad that Daenerys is finally a real person again.
You can't please everyone in this world. But I think they try too hard to please the mass audiences, needlessly adjusting the story for it. If you hear them in interviews, it seems their creative choices has a lot to do with fandom and also award shows. Managing a show like GoT is probably the hardest shit ever but that doesn't excuse them making so many anti-Martin writing departures.
Everyone are expected to see Dany and Jon together at the end dividing the iron throne >it was simple You guys fucked up the basics of how a story ends. You are amateurs and worse than Ed Wood
