Gets popular for "realistic" approach to fantasy
show != books
The fanbase is full of shit, they just love how it is fantasy soap opera with nudity and violence. Buncha fucking plebs the lot of you.
He's not writing the show. I don't think he's writing the books either, but still. You can't blame him for how terrible seasons 6-8 have been.
I guess you could say it takes fantasy to destroy fantasy.
The night king and all the "lore" behind him were completely made up by the showrunners. I'm expecting something a lot more interesting if he ever finishes the books.
the show is absolute ass. night king is not even a fucking character in the books and all wights don't explode if you kill their cpu like the droids in phantom menace or chitauri in avengers. jesus christ what a cop out. also no one knows that robert strong is the mountain. i could go on all day. this is dildos!
Women were a mistake
Eh. I was going to defend GRR, but then I remembered that Winds of Winter was also a load of crap and a giant decline in quality, so I'd be not surprised if the show is sort of following his plot and fatty has just lost it completely.
Is it actually confirmed somehow that the novels won't feature the very same conclusion to the Others menace, but told in a much more meandering and circumlocutious way?
