Nymeria is one of my favorit characters in the entire lore of asoiaf and the Roynar my favorit culture. I'm very happy with these but also scary. That would be by far the most expencive series. The scale of the war, the jorney for those diferent places, that's a lot to put in a series.
Oh yeah, I think it can be super epic, but the budget is definitely a worry. Hopefully HotD Season 2 will be received really well so they can afford those 300 dragons and the massive raft city!
Okay so regarding your criticism about the dragons, I actually think they strike the perfect balance of the use of dragons in both GoT and House of the Dragon. In both shows, the dragons are used so rarely. Dragon's aren't overplayed at all. I mean we see them a lot in House of the Dragon, but it's like a brief moment in each episodes besides during battles. Even during the battles when dragons are used, most of the battle is won on foot and with strategy and all that. We are definitely going to see a lot of dragons in House of the Dragon, but the primary battles in HotD are political and social. So I don't think dragons are overplayed at all.
That's a fair point. Considering Dragon is in the title of the show, we do see only see them for a short time. I guess my complaint was more that I felt like the intrigue aspect of the story was underutilized. But that being said, at the time of the recording I was only halfway through the first season of HotD and starting in episode six there's a lot more of that. I do also have to remind myself that HotD has a much smaller cast so it's harder to have all of the interweaving storylines. Thanks for your comment and insight, it was really helpful!
I've heard a lot of people say that the reason he's taking so long is because of the negative reaction to the show. I obviously don't know if that's true (only George does), but hopefully it means we'll get a better ending than what Benioff and Weiss gave us
@@newwavenerds His career just took off and he's taking advantage of all of the other opportunities that are very time sensitive. I'd take time off writing the 5th book to do other things too. No one stays this famous for long. It always ends. He's enjoying it while he can and taking the opportunities coming at him. But that being said, 13 or 14 years to write this god damn book is ridiculous.
@@newwavenerds I'm sure he'd understand that the negative reception wasn't because of the end-point itself, but because of the rushed and nonsensical path to get there. He said in an interview that they could have done 12-13 seasons, so he knows better than anyone just how rushed the ending was.
It doesn't make sence for they to foucus on the dragons, the Valyria are just the frist big villians of Nymeria story. They kill two of them, one fly away wounded and than they send those 300 dragons to destroy the Roynar arm.
That's true. I guess my hope is just that they focus mostly on the voyage and their time in Dorne, and I'm a little worried that the studio execs will say "put more dragons in, that's what the people want to see"
Oh, it just happens like that? Doing anything creative not only involves actively working on it, but also requires subconscious buildup. There is no such thing as "complete story", because you can change it all the time. It is matter of how it fits to the rest. And that's not a linear process than can be quantified. You can't force your mind and find a part that you are going to enjoy. Using any part that's subpar fit is subpar storytelling, which GRRM isn't doing.
@@yokunjon Yeah he's definitely crafted an amazing story so far, and I know that he's mentioned in the past that he writes like a gardener tending the roses, nurturing the story as it unfolds itself. I love the books, so it's just a little bit frustrating that we've had to wait so long. I joked about him putting it off until he passes because my real fear is based on the fact that he was born three years after the end of WWII, and there's two more books left. It's out of my love for the series that I complain about the thirteen year wait
@@newwavenerds Yeah, I understand, I'm also saddened by the fact that we probably won't see 7th book from GRRM himself. I was replying to "finish the damn books" part because it was unrelated to the video context 😅
