THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING!!!!!
This kind confirmed for me what I already though. Some things are impossible to adapt.
#genuinely for once PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN#adaptation is about sacrifice and some sacrifices HAVE to be made for legal practical and logistical reasons#I have most of a theatre minor (Covid screwed it up) but one of my classes did a lecture on kids in acting#SO MUCH CARE needs to go into having child actors on set. no ifs ands or buts#and rightfully so! in an age where we’re constantly learning about the horrors of child stardom it’s good to see the kids coming first#they are so young!!! when I was their age I was still scared of sleeping in the dark and scooby doo on zombie island#when I try to put myself in their shoes even if I knew I was playing pretend I would still be scared of the big mean men with swords!!#also having done some acting classes. scenes involving heavy shit like this take A LOT out of you#one scene I was in was so triggering I had to tap out. and my prof was fine with it bc she understood that my mental health came first#the same principle was applied here for Very Good Reason#i genuinely cannot imagine how filming the scene as it is in f&b would have impacted those child actors. and I’m glad I don’t have to!#I think the scene could have been written better BUT toning it back was 100% the right call#I just want all child actors to be treated with the care dignity and respect they deserve#imo that’s why the toned back violence works for me. I just know too much about the logistics of kids on set#hotd may be fiction but the kids playing Jaehaerys and Jaehaera are real. their emotional wellbeing and safety always come first
