Checking out this Prestons vid now. He immediately claims that the points George raised weren't a big deal for the viewer and George is just a silly old man who sees things differently.
What a colossal fag. Anyone who's into the universe and actually read Fire & Blood would immediately understands what George meant and would agree. How did this guy get such a foothold in the fandom in the first place....

Because the masses are stupid. I really don’t think people understand just how stupid the majority of the human race is. They all think they’re better than the man who made the content they consume. It’s why Amazon is raping Tolkien’s corpse. George is next, he’s just alive and seeing it happen in real time.

I just think the decisions they took with Blood and Cheese were bizarre.
Like why the fuck would they change Heleana offering her own life for her children to her offering just a necklace?
What does that add? It's natural a mother would be willing to sacrifice herself for children but show version Heleana doesn't apparently even think so.
It reminds me how they omitted Renly and the Peach scene for no reason, it wouldn't take any time or budget and was absolutely kino, but they left it out.

George actually attacked it in a smart way. He knows what year it is and what the repercussions will be. Instead of going for the low hanging fruit (Black Velaryons, feminist bullshit) he instead attacked the shitty writing (for future reference this is how we should attack dykeslop/wokeslop going forward) that now makes large swaths of the story not make any sense at all. Whatever excuse they used to cut Maelor isn't justified when you think about the story progressing forward. Like he said Haleana is now going to commit suicide.....for no reason in particular? And Daeron (who should've been introduced in S1) the kind and honorable boy is going to sack Bitterbridge......for no reason in particular? He also called into question the whole riots thing. The Greens never had riots in the book, presumably because they took most of the mainland close to KL and utilized the resources. And for the riot that's supposed to happen during the Blacks in KL, what reason do they have to do that now? Rhaenyra feed them, and Haleana doesn't seemed to be beloved by the smallfolk like she was in the books. Why riot?

They will probably just shift ALL the blame onto the Greens instead. This is why Greenbros have been going so hard at Blackbros btw. The story was adjusted to make the Greens look as evil as possible and the Blacks to be perfect little angels even when they commit atrocities like murdering and beheading toddlers in their sleep. And that kind of stuff has made the show objectively worse. And for the people that say Muh Budget tho, it wouldn't cost anymore to have a book accurate show, at least not enough to sink the ship.

He took a lot of westeros.org effortposts and turned them into video essays, and in some cases, expanded upon them. He also made a name for himself as the most vocal R+L=J denier, backing R+L=D instead*. His big personal theory is the Dornish Master Plan which falls apart as soon as you remember that Doran's defeat is foreshadowed in his fucking introduction, when he looks at the overripe oranges. Doran always moves too slow to win. That's the whole point of his character.

*R+L=D makes more sense narratively, but R+L=J will happen because it needs to be subverted and be completely fucking meaningless.

I think GRRM's blog was meant to be a warning shot for HBO and Condal, it wasn't meant to actually be a full on attack on them. The show is on its way to complete and total collapse and any bookfag can notice it. Showfags are completely unaware of the trajectory of the plot, and are only angry about the 2 year gap between seasons and the cut season lengths.
At this point it feels like it's too late to turn the riot into a Maester conspiracy, but it's the best solution if they want to wash Rhaenyra's hands of it.

MOREOVER, GRRM's entire "Rhaenyra's tax policy being the cause of her downfall" is the follow up to the Aragorn tax autism that has been stuck on the internet for 15 years. It's clearly being cut, because Condal doesn't want to show Rhaenyra as incompetent. But without Rhaenyra's tax policy royally fucking the Blacks, there's no reason for the Blacks to lose KL.

One of the Sand snakes even reinforces this if I remember saying that Doran just overthinks everything. It probably comes down to the fact Dorne is only a strong power on defence. Ironically what happened on the show with the Sand Snake coup might not be so far from the truth. When Doran toasts to King Tommen a bunch of his Stone Dornish vassals refuse him.

>>203244419
Yup, showfags are a bit oblivious to it but BookCHADs can smell this shit from a mile away. S3 and 4 could go down as the worst from this entire universe and that's saying something with how bad the last few seasons of GOT were. And it all could've been avoided. I understand limitations with budget when it comes to the dragons and CGI, but there is no reason to not show a young Maelor for 10 seconds on screen or Daeron being born or alive in anyway at anytime. They could've cut the birthing scene with Rhaenyra from S1 and added a scene of a very young Daeron packing his bags and getting ready to get sent to Oldtown.

Daemon and Aemond fight and die because muh Alys and prophecy and they know they are just characters in a story

I don't think so. Here's the quote.
>The prince left it to Ricasso, his blind seneschal, to rise and propose the toast. “Lords and ladies, let us all now drink to Tommen, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.”
>Serving men had begun to move amongst the guests as the seneschal was speaking, filling cups from the flagons that they bore. The wine was Dornish strongwine, dark as blood and sweet as vengeance. The captain did not drink of it. He never drank at feasts. Nor did the prince himself partake. He had his own wine, prepared by Maester Myles and well laced with poppy juice to ease the agony in his swollen joints.
>The white knight did drink, as was only courteous. His companions likewise. So did the Princess Arianne, Lady Jordayne, the Lord of Gods-grace, the Knight of Lemonwood, the Lady of Ghost Hill … even Ellaria Sand, Prince Oberyn’s beloved paramour, who had been with him in King’s Landing when he died. Hotah paid more note to those who did not drink: Ser Daemon Sand, Lord Tremond Gargalen, the Fowler twins, Dagos Manwoody, the Ullers of the Hellholt, the Wyls of the Boneway. If there is trouble, it could start with one of them. Dorne was an angry and divided land, and Prince Doran’s hold on it was not as firm as it might be. Many of his own lords thought him weak and would have welcomed open war with the Lannisters and the boy king on the Iron Throne.
So just all the chad First Men/Andal Dorne Houses getting fed up with Doran being cuck ever since the rape and murder of Princess Elia.

That or he is Maegor Brightflame who by a mix of Hate and propably his fathers Madness decoded to drown Citadel in Fire and Blood for a petty revenge.

Condal and Hess were too afraid to make Alicent or Rhaenyra do anything morally questionable because it would clash with the feminist narrative that they’re just gentle souls who were victims of their patriarchal society that made them fight one another.
So instead we have Alicent looking shocked that the other members of the council were secretly plotting to install Aegon on the throne against Viserys’ clearly expressed wishes (Otto had been planting the idea in Alicent’s head that her son needed to become king ever since Aegon was a baby). She basically carries this position all throughout seasons 2, until she becomes completely disenfranchised by the men on the council and in her family who have boxed her out of decision-making because she’s not bloodthirsty enough.
And Rhaenyra is doing basically the same routine, still trying to delay the conflict and find a peaceful way out. Even though people have already been murdered, including her own son and Aegon’s son. It’s ironic that the writers bending over backwards to try to maintain Alicent and Rhaenyra’s purity actually makes them worse and less popular characters. People hated Alicent for agreeing to sacrifice her own son in the finale.

>>203245466
He’s based, but he also knows how cruel and unreliable magic is, and it is for this reason that the maesters decry it.

It’s also only a noticeable percentage of the maesters that do not like magic. The grand maester in Bloodraven’s time was “as steeped in sorcery as he is”.

Magic is annoying to academics because it’s inconsistent and contradictory and no one can really agree on it, and really, any backwoods idiot can scream “sorcery!” or “witch!” when it comes to literally anything they do not understand, or scares them.

But the learned men who want to poke at the very edges of the unknown? They will dabble. All the best or brightest minds in history did so. People like Galileo or just Isaac Newton believed some truly bizarre occult/arcane shit.

Historically, the first thing city dwellers in recently founded or growing medieval cities seek is privilege rights to be ruled as little directly as possible by nobles and once they reach some level of prosperity their midling and upper classes revolt against the nobles quite frequently. Granted, King's Landing is maybe too close to royal power to revolt(but no unheard of irl see Etienne Marcel's revolt in Paris) and White Harbour too small and isolated but Lannisport, Gulltown and Oldtown should be really troublesome to rule and revolt a lot in a more believable world. Also, it's ridiculous that the Riverlands have no city, their real life counterparts, Low Countries and Rhineland, places always hit hard by war, had a great number of large cities.

— “When George says that Helaena's suicide was down to finding out about Maelor he is basically confirming that Septon Eustace's version of Helaena's suicide is the true version. The night she killed herself must have been the night that she was told of Maelor's death by Mysaria. George knows his work better than you Preston, and he knows the true history of Westeros better than Archmaester Gyldayn. You need to take an L on this one.”

GRRM does say in both the book and his blogpost that Helaena was beloved by the smallfolk, but never bothers to give any examples or reasons for this, or even any instances of Helaena interacting with the smallfolk in any way. It's easy to dismiss that as propaganda.

Marwyn's referring do how all the dragons born after the dance were sickly and didn't live long. I'm willing to bet that Fire and Blood part 2 will heavily imply that Silverwing and Morning (The last two remaining adult dragons that didn't simply disappear like Sheepstealer and Cannibal) died because of the maesters, too.

Preston is a sperglord who always needs to prove how smart he is.

The way he reads/watches things is both a blessing and a curse. He goes line by line looking for perfect logical consistency, which is good when you want to make schizo theories but terrible when you want to seem like a normal human being.

It's just Rhaenyra, they're treating most of Team Black like shit. They've also whitewashed Alicent, it just backfired because they don't get people don't like her hating her own children.

do you guys think GRRM got weirded out by preston

All this shitshow with hotd started when the showrunners made the retarded decision of Rhaenyra and Alicent being friends and close in age

>>203248096
truth, and that's basically the entire show premise so this thing is unsalvageable

The biggest takeaway I got from George’s blogpost is that he waifus Helaena hard, so he’s understandably furious how the show has butchered her character.

>>203248089
The opposite. Preston is the spurned lover - as he himself admits, he was FULLY CONVINCED that Tuff Voyaging and ASoIaF were connected to, and referenced, Plato's "Republic," to which the fat guy simply said "nah." Then the autist tried to press him on that, and so GRRM ignored him.

>>203248096
Focusing a story about a civil war on two women who participate in none of the major battles of said civil war in any meaningful way was certainly a choice.

Not at all. He talked about Maelor's role in the Dance, and how removing him has a butterfly effect across the entire narrative that makes it inconsistent or nonsensical. He focused on Halaena and especially Maelor to show that even secondary characters are important, and highlight the incompetence of the showrunners by not realizing it.
In short, he called them shit writers in a clever way.
This and the heraldry thing, as silly as that was, and his rant about how adaptations are always ruined because of haughty writers who think they know better adding their shit ideas to good works... There's very clearly a message tailored there.

He gets the series and has the style down. I think he also understands the 'big picture' themes and where the books are going for an ending.

hes an old tv writer which means he knows general audiences would not be able to keep track on who is who even if they color coded the clothes super hard so his honest opinion is most likely something along the line of "having a family be black is a handy bandaid"

>>203249347
anon GRRM literally considered making ALL the Valyrians black at one point. he's said so in interviews.

he also wrote the Summer Isles as a technologically advanced utopia for pure worldbuilding reasons, as they have no relevance to the story.

>>203249347
I’d settle for at least a half assed made up lore reason for it.
Like claim they are from South Valyria, who were more open with other parts of the world and thus had some Summer Islander ancestry, while Targs were Northern Valyrian stock who were more isolationist and white.

You know that when they do an Old Valyria show the Targaryens are gonna be the only white Dragonriders

>>203249347
His only problem would be that Targs are white, and if Velaryons are black then Targs couldn't possibly be white if we want the story to be resembling reality in SOME ways, and if Targs were black too then so would be Baratheons, and the Blackfyres and..... You know the butterfly effect he talked about. It just doesn't work, it's out of the place and only there for "muh white privilege", white guilt and hollyjew tricks. It's unrealistic, distracting and visually ruins the story
>inb4 muh racism
Not even close, visuals are important to the story, if every member of the house looked vastly different, had different colors of hair and different accents we would be facing the same problem, except in this case normalfags are not aware that Velaryons mixed with Targs often so it works in that small scope. It does't work in the bigger picture, so it is iredeemable garbage when inspected carefully.

>>203249664
I am tired of this disingenuous bait. He said he considered making them black the same way the Drow are black. That doesn’t mean they’re literally niggers.

I look forward to a bleached blonde Asian Valyrian played by non or Aika

>>203249685
>I’d settle for at least a half assed made up lore reason for it.
They should have gone with the simplest and most probable answer.
Say Maegor exiled Corwyn Velaryon for some reason, be Alyssa Velaryon's treason or something like that and say that Corwyn went to the Summer Islands and married a Princess there and she was the mother of Corwyn's children including Corlys and Vaemond. There, it's simple.

>>203249506
didn't he comment about not allow anyone to touch his wips after he dies or am I mixing him up with someone else? there's for sure a clause somewhere already in place that he wont allow anyone else to "wrap up" officially

>>203242963
Preston is a retard because most of the book fans are batshit retarded liberals.

>>203245904
He went to Starfall to return Dawn, their family's sword. And the Dayne's have a child in the series called Ned which isn't the actions of a house that has reasons to dislike Eddard. Why did they name a child after him if he killed one and drove another to suicide?

The N+A=J theory also surmises that Ashara isn't dead, she faked her to death to travel to essos, carrying Dany (R+L=J) to Viserys and the remaining Targ Loyalists. Dany gets given the identity of Viserys' younger sister so her claim cannot contest his and everyone is happy.

Ashara then becomes Quiathe or some shit.
>go fuck his hot redheaded fishwife
He has to. That's his duty. Ned didn't marry for love, he married for an alliance to win the rebellion. It's mirrored in Jon returning to the Watch, betraying Ygritte. It might not have been his arrow that killed her, but by getting back in time to warn the wall, he pretty much did. Duty comes before Love.

It's Robb's failing, he put Love before Duty, or at least some misguided idea of 'Honor' before Duty. Whereas his father definitely didn't. Ned did his duty, he married Cat despite Ashara being his love.

>>203249664
Lol. It’s not actually that simple.

The Summer Islanders are the fantasy mirror of black people at their best, and nicest and loving. They’re human.

The Brindled Men are the fantasy mirror of black people at their worst, and most savage and evil. They’re inhuman.

The contrast between the two is hilarious to me.

Stop trying. There is no such thing as black Valyrians and no amount of fan fic can ever justify or explain it. Just brush it off as non-canon show slop. Or do as I do and believe that only the actors are black and the Velaryons remain white canonically.

Velaryons were lowkey my favorite house, even above Targaryens in my book, seeing them bl*cked made me seethe.
But I never expected quality cast from HBO either way, Valyrians should be inhumanely beautiful, not monkey gorillas and trannies(old Rhae)

I'd gladly watch Ryan swallow poison and choke on it, no remorse for cashgrabbing vile subhumans.

>the last anyone in Dorne heard of Edric Dayne was that he was sent to pursue a Lannister Bannerman with a group that was subsequently outlawed and hunted like animals by the Lannisters
Darkstar is actually loyle to his kin.

You cannot hide for too long, Ryan. George's rage is upon you. You are over.

Cute and canon!

Imagine being Condal and realizing you fucked up so hard that George had to come out and call you a hack, like he didn’t even do that for D&D fucking up GoT final season, that’s how bad he fucked up.

its been 36 hours and blacktroons are still having a meltdown. unlike anything I've ever seen. absolutely bizarre and amazing to witness. thank you based fat man.

>>203250169
This is just sad. Condal was a fan who betrayed Martin. What the fuck. Martin went out of his way to pick him, and he does this to the Fat Man? What a fuck.

>>203250406
Go back to twitter, woman.

>>203250290
GRRM spends years between books and gets excused by some for the concept growing and not having the time to work on it, meanwhile
>Gene Wolfe had originally intended the story to be a 40,000-word novella called "The Feast of Saint Catherine", meant to be published in one of the Orbit anthologies, but during the writing, it continued to grow.[10][11] Despite being published with a year between each book, all four books were written and completed during his free time without anyone's knowledge when he was still an editor of Plant Engineering, allowing him to write at his own pace and take his time.[12]

>>203250373
Seeing pure white velaryons getting bl*cked would be kino.

>>203250450
He mentioned this recently in a talk IIRC

>>203250406
This is not about team green or team black moron. There are team black fans who read the book and don't like the shit Ryan and Sara did with the show.

George is a hack fraud and until he gets off his fat ass and finishes the damn books he can have his life's work raped by a gang of coked up hollywood types for all I care.
0 (zero) sympathy for the man who claimed he'd finish winds in 1998.

>>203250498
what did the fat fuck say?

>>203250515
That he wished he had free time to write too

>>203250514
I'm trans and love big black juicy meaty cocks btw

>>203250515
Iirc he complained Wolfe had the """luxury"""" of having a job, supporting his family and writing the books while he has to write for a living or something.

>>203248096
The shit show happened when they decided to adapt the dance because it was ALWAYS shitty writing that made no sense logically speaking and Martin shat it out it 15 minutes while waiting for a Jets game to start

Here's mine
Name: House Armen
Region: The Iron Islands
Castle: Lions Skull
Sigil: A lozenges bendwise of Black and fuchsia with an Golden lions head in the corner As a reminder to everyone that they killed a lannister(of lanisport and, he was a Distant relative, and then they got their castle sacked by Lannister soldiers)

George hand picked Condal, and then Condal did a flip.

— HBO then pivoted to have George much more involved, trusting his sense of what could work and what couldn't from his world. The Dance was his own personal pitch, he hand-picked an experienced show runner and screenwriter who was an acquaintance and who was deeply invested in the books (Condal's not lying about having been a fan of the books since 2000 or 2001, he's more than established his bonafides on that score based on our conversations), and George played a deep role in developing and breaking that first season with Condal and his mini-writers room (which included Ti Mikkel, one of George's assistants, and a writer for S2).

>>203250540
>all four books were written and completed during his free time without anyone's knowledge when he was still an editor of Plant Engineering, allowing him to write at his own pace and take his time

>>203250515
He was just saying that he wished the books were finished, and used that specific person/book/situation as an example of what he wished he'd done. I think it was the Oxford talk he did last month

>>203250570
>unironically using a default texture
Worse than Condal and Preston.

>>203250500
>There are team black fans who read the book and don't like the shit Ryan and Sara did with the show.
So they choose to be retarded?

>>203250450
writing your 5 book schizo fantasy sci-fi post-apocalyptic masterpiece in complete secret during the off-moments you get while wage-slaving is beyond the fat man's capabilitiies

>>203250515
>oh woe is me Gene Wolfe had the privilegie of working a full time job and raising a family while writing his books up in the fucking attic on his fre time whereas I, a childless professional writer, am constantly stirred from the creative process by such vexatons as which of my fine cheeses I will gorge myself on, how today's boar is to be prepared, and how I will have Sibel Kekilli tonight (settled on every way a man can have a woman)

>>203250593
Just because you see a few Rhaenyfags (mostly women and shippers too) talking shit on twitter it doesn't mean that everyone who supports team black is like that. Stop being a teamfag moron.

>>203250553
>a 2000 word blogpost was all it took for George to get the resident idiot cretins riding his cock like there's no tomorrow
He's too powerful.

>>203250714
Says a lot about you politically that you choose the side where a woman rules and legality is set aside.

Get you to twitter.

it's crazy, specially because his career was mediocre before HotD
zero chance he would have gotten the position if it wasn't for George

>>203250427
Fatty betrayed his fans by never finishing his books so he deserves it

>>203250747
I'm not a teamfag, I don't fuck with Rhaenyra but I prefer her book version, I just didn't fuck with Aegon either. I like specific characters from both sides. I really hate teamfags like you become your always bring twitter drama here and for no reason.

Seriously though I really hate teamfags, you fags ruin everything with your teamfaggoty and sound like children. There are good and interesting characters from both teams.

>>203250825
I support the Lannisters. You're probably a Starkcuck. Big words coming from you, Stigger.

>>203250892
Not a teamfag, I just hate matriarchy which is what the blackcunt faction literally is.

>>203250959
>There are good and interesting characters from both teams
Say all of them.

Preston is a retard grey rat, I think he used to be an auditor, so it would make sense that he doesn't understand things like underlying themes (low media literacy)

My favourite Preston Retard Moment is when he said, in the Arya (in Braavos) chapter, that the girl was amused at Lord Swyft's choice of dress because he's an old man in bright colours, even though Lord Swyft is literally walking around with a big chicken emblazoned on his clothing (which was probably the actually amusing things).

One major theme that Preston doesn't get is that George is commentating about how women are too emotional and unstable to be rulers, that's why the last actual war is between two Mad Queens (Cersei and Dany) and it's up to a council of MEN to set things right (Asha/Yara will be replaced by Victarian in the books).

>>203242914
This pos, his buttboy Carmine and the whole Nerdcrew grifter team. NONE OF THEM are willing to criticize HOTD when even GRRM himself thinks the show is shot.

How MUCH is HBO paying them. Imagine if Lucas wrote something like what GRRM wrote about say, the Acolyte. Don't you think they would've made like a trillion videos by now?

What the hell is going on!?

>>203244131
Is his "Quentyn is Alive" autism part of his Dornish Master Plan theory?

Can’t believe I was banned (for no reason) and missed this entire thing
Prestonbros how are we holding up?

>>203250959
I am only a greenfag as an angry reaction to HotD being unrepentant rhaenyra wankers.

Some of you could do with reading about death of the author .

I wonder if George will write another rant about the show. The only reason he deleted this one is because he gave a spoiler about Helaena's death.

>sksksk george is one of us girlies, sksksk greenstunner keep slaying teamblackrhaedaegongoonshipper eating nails

Exactly, what a fucking twat.

>>203250959
Agreed, unless the teams in question are red and black dragons.
Then it's on sight for dornishlovers.

>>203251227
The Blackfyre rebellions are a spiritual continuation of the Dance of the Dragons. Daemon as the son of Daena had a better claim to the throne.

Jump to 25m25s he talks about Gene Wolfe and Book of the New Sun here and talks about how Gene Wolfe had a job and wasn't a full-time author so he had the freedom to write and didn't have a deadline so he could make changes to book 1 while working on book 4 because book 1 hadn't been published.

>>203252833
gurrm has been keeping up with deadlines as we all know. Poor guy cant catch a break

FAT PINK

>>203253220
ADWD got published because his publisher told him that he needed the book to release alongside the show

After he missed the deadline to release Winds before the show caught up with him, it was over

>>203243494
He's trying to tell him that he's wrong about his own setting when George basically echoed what we were already saying here.

>>203253323
I dont even want him to finish the story, he doesnt deserve it. Some transnonbinary preston jacobs from the GURRM Society is going to finish it for him
