GRRM's Twitter is a Hot Mess 

Seriously? Wow lol

I’m dead! 😂😂😂

💀💀💀

LMFAO

We’ve seen him buttnaked once, do we beed a repeat?

The winds are coming ... Dark Winds season 2!

I have his notification on in spite I think, starting off in delusion but now im like eh its probably not winds 😂

I tried reading GRR's books that aren't Game of Thrones. Didn't like them. I guess I'm done with GRR since we're never seeing book 6, I just decided to try and forget all about it. It's bigfoot riding a unicorn stuff and not a real thing, it is a myth at this point.

@@robertmaybeth3434 He has some good short stories. But they are all extremely dark and sci-fi isn't for everyone so I get why you wouldn't be into them.

@@robertmaybeth3434 I think George has become both worse at writing over the years, and the writing competition has become better. The first three Game of Thrones books were amazing, and there wasn't anything quite like them. However books 4 - 5 were okay but not great. So it doesn't surprise me that other short stories of his also aren't spectacular.

I only know this fact because of Doctor Who. Thanks for having this comment, I was going to mention it but you got it first.

The musical adaptation is super fun as they set up all the suspects throughout the show and let the audience vote on the ending, so the “murderer” is different every night.

Truly the greatest mystery ever written what a genius..

Wow

Thank you I thought it was Mark Twain but knew I was wrong; thanks for clearing that up for me

Santa won't give me Winds I'd rather talk to George

​@@eversor10What about Santa Preston?

@@marcosa2000 the too tall, bald and beardless santa for sad Asoiaf fans

Let them...I ENJOY their tasty tears! 🤣🤣🤣

Das passt wie die Faust auf das Auge...

He is 3/4's done. ;-)

I don’t believe writing your own novels is included within the strike

Martin has been on strike for 12 years...

@@LeboAnimationsGotta admire his dedication

​@@davidryan7386since when? Let's be real, he was 3/4 done aince years and then stopped writing

This is why i called you that one night on discord, so you could join us. next time, boo

@@OfficialRedTeamReview lmaooo boo, next time next time

Explain to Preston that the “Slayer of Lies” is Oedipus and why then we get a offhand remarks about Daenerys’ former servants and why Selmy is with Daenerys now. Also where “Sun setting in the East…” comes from and why Aerys, Daenerys, and Aegon(young Griff).

^ This nails it

It took Tolkien 17years to write LOTR and it's 1200 pages. If GRRM wrote at that pace what's out so far would've taken him 60 years to write. And you must not be familiar with Tolkien... He wrote TONS of irrelevant stuff in the same universe before LOTR was finished including a whole adventures of Tom Bombadil book. The ignorance and entitled attitude of GRRMs so-called fans is mind boggling.

​@@DD-qo1twstill he finished the series and wrote several books about the universe afterwards. Also there was passion throughout it until he died, meanwhile george just gave up.

You're confusing publication dates with when he wrote things... He was writing lots and lots of things set in middle earth during the 17 year period he was working on the LOTR trilogy. Tolkien was a bad example to pick for this specific demand. The man "wasted" (supposedly in your view I guess) tons of time creating language, mythology, long poems etc that didn't progress the main trilogy.

No he wasn't finished with middle earth yet, but he finished lotr. Also the languages and cultures tolkien created were one of the reasons why middle earth felt so immersive. It makes more sense than an entire continent speaking one language.

he SHOULD do that, but we all know he'd loose such a massive chunk of his fanbase, forever, the second he said it. It'd be career suicide

Dude, this is not that hard. He WANTS to finish it. But wanting something and being able to do it are different things.

Agree. It would be less insulting.

​@@Niall001he's unable because he doesn't want to imo

He will never do that. We would probably hate him for it if he did.

Well, some people are greedy. Even if it doesn't make rational sense.

With his book revenue, GoT/HoTD producer income and other projects, he must surely be the richest author after JK Rowling

The patreon is for highgarden entertainment but its under grrm because he founded highgarden entertainment.

Genius

If everyone pretends to want Wild Cards then he'll give us Winds. Genius.

Yeah, and I'll comment with "where is the 'Mushroom and his member' coffee table coloring book?"

Right!? What books are these people reading?

It's so funny because we have two canon bisexual POV characters (Dany and Cersei), a canon gay man (JonCon), a potential bi Jon Snow (if you believe the theories about him being quietly into Satin), and there were rumors throughout the books about Renly and Loras that became canon in the show. Just because the show didn't have a lot of ethnic minorities doesn't mean the books didn't have a lot of diversity. But those people who just label things "woke" only see this story as "medieval England" and OBVIOUSLY there were no gays in medieval England so including it would be heretical. Like OBVIOUSLY.

@@silverstorm3729 NOT GRRM’s books that’s for sure…the dude is what a Male Feminist is supposed to be (supportive of Women’s suffrage, not a simp to it) and never mind who he is married to!

@@asimhussain8716 So the only "evidence" is they hang out together a lot. Because Loras is his squire. You know who squires are, right? The guy who is supposed to help a knight undress his armor, brings the knight food, and sometimes provides the knight with company. Granted, this is "usually" a job for a kid training to be a knight, but keep in mind that Loras is barely an adult by modern standards, a thirdborn son with absolutely nothing substantial to inherit, and Renly is the Lord of Storm's End. Being the squire to a Lord Paramount in Westeros is second only to the King himself. The only people who ever refer to him as gay in the books are his political enemies or people who were told explicitly by them at they were gay. Preston mentioned this in his "Overanalyzing" series in regards to Laenor, too, and cited Renly as an example. There actually is no evidence that Laenor is gay either. He was just into fashion and dressing in rich clothes. You know who else is into dressing like a million bucks? Pimps and rappers. Call them gay and you end up getting shot lol. And even if someone does believe he and Loras are gay, I love to propose this question as a counterargument: if all it takes for two dudes to be gay in this universe are hanging out a lot while on and off the clock as a squire, eating meals together, dressing together, and fighting together, then why are there no rumors about Ned playing with Robert's warhammer spreading around the continent like wildfire?

@@asimhussain8716 Also in regards to the show, they did Renly so fucking dirty with that writing which is astounding because I've been getting into The Wire over the past few months and Omar is my favorite character by a country mile because of how unabashedly gay he is AND he's a straight up gunslinger people fear like the boogeyman. HBO made one of the coolest gay characters ever and then followed it up with... this... Renly was said to be such a spitting image of Robert in his prime that Ned almost had an anxiety attack over seeing him again in the flesh. The man who wanted to murder children because they bore the name Targaryen and absolutely could because he was a brute of a man with arms like Bill Goldberg. Renly was just Robert, but better. Renly loved hunting and jousting and was extremely charismatic and people loved him for being his brother when he was fit and moderately sober. Show Renly was a little prissy baby bitch boy who couldn't even stand the sight of a little cut and had to be goaded into rebelling against Cersei. Book Renly did so without a second thought because he was a hedgefund baby who felt it was owed to him over his unlikable older brother. People liked him, therefore he should be King.

Correct. It is more impressive that a secret CIA agent knows about an anime than languages of the countries hes responsible for destabilizing. Yes.

@@OfficialRedTeamReview hey what ever makes u feel better about ur self;) btw speaking of "secret"s i know u have a second channel called vee infuso where u talk about dc and comic movies n shit

@@humzakhalid7902 I don't have a secret 2nd channel and no, that isn't me.

It’s about expectations...it’s not that surprising that somebody as knowledge, old and smart as Preston would be familiar with other languages but pop culture phenomena like DBZ maybe not

Yeah. There's more than one mystery. The first is about the titular Drood, whether he was murdered or has hidden himself for some reason. A second mystery concerns the identity of the mysterious Datchery, who appears to be a detective investigating the disappearance. It is hinted that he's actually one of the other characters in disguise but there's no agreement among the fans which one. A minor mystery is the mysterious business that the dubious choirmaster John Jasper, who lives in the cathedral town of Cloisterham (Rochester), has in London. As you can probably tell I'm a big fan.

@@alanpennie8013 Yeah, I know. I was just trying to keep things as simple as possible.

He doesn't care...he has his fame, and his money!

Kind of like what happened with Half Life 3. Just laziness

​@@badgasaurus4211At least HL:A gave HL3 some hope. Plus Valve actually works insanely hard and is constantly innovating. In comparison GRRM seems like he has barely worked at all in the last 20 years, especially the last decade.

It’s been 13 years, I’m not surprised

A fool and his money are quickly parted - take these idiots for all they're worth! Btw, random comments can't punch down on George, that's not how that works.

Stark??

​@@RPanda3S No it's definitely punched up.

you should probably look at what punching down means

A patreon is hilarious, the man is loaded

Kino

gotta make some kind of title for a video that has no real purpose other than saying oh well there is nothing to say as there are no news

You care boo. That’s why you’re here. You’re only fooling yourself with this post, and the funny thing is he doesn’t owe you a dam* thing. It was HIS art that got him what he has not your little thirty dollars or whatever it is you spent on his books.

​@@melanatedqueen6662😂🤣😭 why you so mad at someone blowing off steam?

​​@@melanatedqueen6662And now his art is giving him endless hate because of his own decisions. That's how it works in the entertainment business, get over it, the person in the OP is justified in feeling however they feel.

I don't know why there is that much guessing around it, given CD sold several people that SPOILER John Jasper was the murderer and Edwin is dead. He could have changed his mind of course but the interest of the story was to be telling it from the murderer's point of view at the end, not the "mystery".

@@floraposteschild4184 Non indicative name so. Still, even knowing the murderer does leave how the rest of the book would actually go as unknown.

@@Jotari Dickens' friend John Forster claimed to have been told the whole thing, including who ended up married to whom (it's online and in most Dickens bios). It's a little doubtful because he and Dickens were not as close as they had been -- D. was finding him on the boring side in latter years. And Dickens did leave a fair bit of room to change his mind as to what would happen to the other characters. But as I say, it wasn't meant to be a whodunnit so much as a whydunnit.

social media is good if you're a new writer and need to get your name out there, but once you get big it's nothing but a distraction. Such a wide range of opinions and the angry voices are the loudest (a quiet customer is a happy customer)

​@@fdaa3154Nah, he's still capable of enjoying it

We want to build him up, and we also want to shit on him for it, and we also want to demand. What isn’t rightfully ours. Frankly, people are just cunts. 5:22

the example i always use is "imagine if Tolkien didn't bother to write Return of The King because he was busy helping make the BBC radio Drama about tom bombadil"

Well he is truly the “anti Tolkien” lol.

They are not on the same level that's why...

Your being dramatic he's never dissed Tolkein. Tolkein was one of his main inspirations. His work is the opposite of Tolkein in its tone so he makes comparisons when prompted to in corporate interviews

@@keegan112099 Dude his existence is a insult to Tolkien, hes always being compared but there is no comparison and to this day I do not understand why people force the comparison.

How is that a playful roasting and not simple fatshaming ? I live in the same country and that kind of comment can be insulting , depends on the intention of the person who says it, i doubt that guy is being friendly

Also, what argentinian uses the word barbacoa instead of asado . Weird

@@damianalejandro6959 The one that wants to make his point across ;)

I believe a 'Stern Talking to from his Kindergarten Subsitute' or perhaps the good ol' 'Trapping a 74-year-old man in a cardboard box using a stick, a string, and a conspicuous bush' might also work.

"Apenas" and "Vez" that's the only Spanish I got out of that lol wtf is that thing over the 'a' anyways?

@@abeaconintheoffice it's a Tilde or Til, a sign used to give nasal sound vowels in portuguese. It is most commonly present with the letter 'a', but when the word is in plural, then it appears with the letter 'o'. Take, for example, the word "canção", which means "song". In the plural form it becomes "canções" (more than one song)

Cannibal had a habit of eating them once in a while iirc. 7 blew up with Dunk and Egg at summer hall. 3 were stolen…I think they are more or less accounted for 🤔

Most people are kind of dumb. Being smart + working hard is like a cheat code that can make you successful in just about any field.

the spice must flour

He doesn’t owe y’all anything. Your little thirty dollars or whatever it is you spent on his books didn’t make him what he is today. HIS TALENT is what got him here. You’ve gotten what u paid for. You got the books you bought. His transaction with you is complete.

​@@melanatedqueen6662Yeah except he clearly does care since he always gets super upset when he's asked about his progress on WoW. You clearly didnt watch any of his longer live interviews in front of an audience. He's getting hate and rightfully so. Hes in the entertainment business. Deny your fans their entertainment and this is what happens. You saying "he doesnt owe you anything" is correct, but he's not owed praise either.

I’m sure he’s devastated he “lost your respect.” 😂

​@@melanatedqueen6662Not the point they were making, but sure, whatever

​@@melanatedqueen6662Ah. Yet another buffoonish Martin fangirl. And jiat like every other one they have nothing to say that required any thought.

He lives in my home town of Santa Fe, New Mexico. You can't swing a cat without hitting something he's poured his money into. He's guilty of not finishing his franchise, but not of being a person who is selfish. He's literally trying to spend as much of his money as he can on external legacy stuff before he dies.

@@joelsommers My problem with Martin has never been that he hasn't produce Winds or that he's enjoying his success. It's that I believe hes being deceitful about continuing to work on Winds. Thats it. If he were honest that he's given up on it it'd be unfortunate but I'd wish the man well. He owed most of us nothing but honesty although the dishonesty does create a deficit. I was aware of ASOIAF due to being a fan of the original CTRL+ALT+DEL web comic but I wasn't a fan until the show. But his increasingly petulant behavior resembles a conman who is getting ever closer to being exposed. Motive you may ask? The demand for him on talk shows, conventions, and in corporate Hollywood is almost entirely based on ASOIAF. He is loving the attention and fame which came to him relatively late in life. If he admitted he quit the project his reputation would change to that of a failed author rather than one of the greats. Perhaps that's unfair but failed authors don't get their calls returned by executives, don't get pet projects produced, and their fan base dries up. But I recently came across an argument that kind of stuck in my head. Those original devoted fans who believed in his work and promoted him for years arguably made this success he's enjoying possible. If anyone is owed more its them. As the proverb goes, "Dance with the one that brought you." If I'm wrong I'll gladly admit it as my pride isn't a stumbling block to my integrity. My position also has the benefit of being falsifiable. . . but only if Martin sends the book to print. Since Martin apparently intends to have his unfinished work and notes destroyed if he passes before finishing this creates a problem for the faithful. That would mean no one will ever produce a 1300 page manuscript and be able to say, "SEE!?!? He was almost done." I for one hope he finishes Winds and Dream for his fans. But his behavior, which I've only partly expounded on here, leads me to believe that isn't in the cards.

I do think that story has gotten away from him...

Sir/Madam/Bot this is PJ channel. His viewers are all a wild bunch of cynic fans, who 'love' George but acknowledge his limits and issues. You won't find 'hAtErS' here. This isn't... Mr. Toxic positivity channels. George hasn't lost the plot. But he did kinda write into a corner because the characters are far too spread out from the main plot to have any impact in the short to mid-term. He would need more time, I.E more books, to circle back into something workable, which is just not an option anymore.

He deliberately writes in a way so he is never in a corner - he offers so many red herrings etc that he always has options. So it isn’t that. I think it’s a combination of a few things - one, the story has become so large with so many moving parts, that he is struggling badly to bring it together again for the final act, and two, because of this, he simply doesn’t enjoy it anymore. And three, he has more money than he could ever dream of, and knowing he isn’t healthy and is getting old, he wants to concentrate on what gives him the most joy in what remains of his life.

I think he's thrown way too many balls in the air, and he's unable to juggle them all, while also refusing to just aggressively write out balls (heavy-handedly kill off or ignore characters even in potentially-unsatisfying ways, as the show did). He's been trying for 12 years to juggle all the balls simultaneously and failing.

God I wish 😭

lmao spanish is the best language for if you want to insult someone or you're in an argument

He can pay people to help him. Hell, he can even pay someone who can type it so he doesn't have to keep one-fingering Wordperfect '96 on a computer older than 80% of his readers. But no. He refuses.

Ah yes. VKontakte. Like the rest of Russian society, you literally have to deep-throat an incompetent fascist with moobs to log on. FFS Putin is so insecure.

Season 4 was actually pretty good.

I read all the books and its a good read. The world-building is great. But god. I really dislike the characters. It feels to me, authors just cant write POV well enough. TV show made the charaters much more interesting (and thats a fucking rarity). Even though i still disliked characters of Holden and Naomi.

he's already stated that if he dies before the series is over, it dies with him...

​@@obsidian00hopefully it's painful for him then

Man, how many times does the guy have to say he IS writing it Obviously he’s struggling with it. Are you a creative person? Do you know how difficult it would be to wrap this saga? Settle down my guy.

@@MC-el2us yeah he may be writing it, but he doesn’t want to. If he wanted to he’d be done writers block certainly exists I’ll give him that but in no way should it last 12 years. You can get help from others or at least do SOMETHING to get past it.

​@@MC-el2usI was in 10th grade when I read ADWD. I'm past uni and working now. Do you not see how insane this is? It would be respectable to just call it quits instead of leading us on like this.

"What does $100 million mean to a 75-year-old with no children?" It means bulk orders of Cannabis seeds from Afghanistan. I would vibe/chill my way into the great beyond.

As if children are equivalent to happiness or whatever

@@Waddehaddeduddedaa yeah no one said that, ya reject. There's only so many things you can do with millions of dollars as a 75yo. Most would be content to pass it down but he has no kids so...hookers and blow until he dies? Or how many railroads and wolf preserves can you buy? My point was most people justify their vitriole towards GRRM with "fuck em, he's rich" and my point was that having millions as an old man is definitely not the same thing as having millions as a young man.

@@abeaconintheoffice lmao true. I notice you didnt include "finishing my insanely complicated book series" as part of that plan.

I wouldn’t be mad if he just said that he probably won’t finish the series.

@redteamreview meant to tag you at the end.
