The worst part of the GOT and HOTD adaptations is that they remove any sense of narrative or themes being explored from George's writing. The showrunners rewrite characters and change plotlines on a whim and remove any sense of cohesive storytelling. There's just...literally no point to the story and the writers struggle to come up with sensible explanations for the changes they've decided to make.

#anti got #anti hotd #/themes are for eight-grade book reports/ like at least D&D admitted to not caring #hotd showrunners will spend an hour rambling trying to come up with a point in-between saying a rapist deserves sympathy #if the shows weren't based on books they could get away with it but the fact that we just end up with themes and arcs gone #unfulfilled because they have to inevitably draw from the source material even though they're changing things is frustrating #that's really why season 8 makes no sense cause the writers were just coming up with shit inconsistent with the earlier seasons #the dance being about misogyny and nyra's line surviving in the main Targ while the Greens die out was done for a REASON but now people #justify the misogyny towards her because they don't personally like her character and it's just so...stupid #just really stupid and on some level I'm blame George for these terrible adaptations even though I know he doesn't have #full power or say at least with GOT things would've been different if he would've finished the books on time
