In his latest interview Fatso said there are more spinoff stories to be told than the main Winds of Winters (the book can wait) timeline.
Reminder Fatso will die of fat and bookfags will end up even more eternally BTFO than /tv/fags.

>Reminder Fatso will die of fat and bookfags will end up even more eternally BTFO than /tv/fags.
I disagree here.
I'm looking forward to Gurm dying with AssoIaF unfinished so my headcanon can always be real. Chances are if he really CAN finish the series in just 2 books it will be as bad as the tv series ending.

Literally no one expects it to ever release.

I recently started watching GoT again, just finished season 5. I had dropped it early in season 6 for IRL reasons and just never bothered to pick it back up after hearing all the complaints during season 7 and 8. But now i'm resolved to finish it.

Did the writers ever say why they hated Stannis so much? I didn't read the books, but people said he was actually one of the few good and noble characters in the book. But the show runners had him sacrifice his daughter, have his army destroyed anyway, and then he gets beheaded by the big lesbian as a final act of humiliation.

Was there ever an interview or behind the scenes footage where they explained the motivation to twist his character so much?
>>
>>217328299
There was at some point. I think one or both were big Renly fans and were forever seething about Renly's death.
>>
>>217327147
Is this real lmao jesus christ the jews really payed every fucker to say this
>>
>>217327085
All the more reason for him to finish it.
>>
>>217328299
>good and noble
He's not, he's just not as distasteful and insane as the other characters, he still does distasteful and insane shit just not as much as the others. Stannis tries to do what he thinks is just, dutiful, and moral though.
>>
>>217328203
Nobody even gives a shit about the tv show anymore. That excuse has long dried up
>>
>>217326784
He is so fat and ugly I find his existence extremely offensive.
>>
>>217326784
I think he got trapped in a state where the effort necessary to complete the books to his standards has exceeded both his interest in the series and the work he is willing to do as a now old man in his twighlight years. he does not care about asoiaf enough for it to be his dying opus but he also can't bring himself to just knock em out to be done with it. so he procrastinates and distracts himself with light projects.
>>
>>217329375
Does Stannis even ally himself with the Lord of Light cult in the books? Because that was another complaint I remember hearing, that after Season 5 the Lord of Light stuff just gets completely dropped.
>>
Game of Thrones is done. They won't recapture the magic.
>>
>>217329766
Yes in the books Stannis is a follower of R'hllor. It's less out of religious zeal and more of him looking for any advantage he can think of to win the war and his rightful place on the throne. The red priestess Melisandre is actually quite powerful Stannis can use her magic to win his throne and Mel gets to use Stannis to spread the word of R'hllor and gain followers.
>>
Originally, there were only supposed to be three books in total. Martin planned to finish them in the 1990's. But then the series became an unexpected success, so he churned out more books and added random stuff and storylines. The problem is that by now there is so much bloat and meandering lines in the story, that it's virtually impossible to finish. Evenmore so when you consider his method of writing, where he rewirtes a single chapter over and over again, just to try out different scenarios.
It's hilarious when you think about it. That one guy has tricked a huge production company that lost billions of potential revenue from the shitty ending of the TV-show. He cornered thousands of loyal fans into an abusive relationship, where he can ramble about football or politics or whatever and they will still listen to him. He could fart into a microphone and they would analyse it to see if there are any hints to the next book in the fart. The guy is a genius.

He got trapped in his own mindset, that is all.
He fancies himself to be chungus subverserino, but he likes famtasy literaure and is intelligent (and skilled, I'll give him that) enough to know that endings he wants are not something that audiences find appealing and satisfying. That is a big problem for him because he is a narcissist that craves praise, so he has no balls to take the backlash to his vision.
GRM is basically self-aware Rian Johnson.
>>
>>217326886

He's literally just enjoying his money and fame before he dies or becomes too old to travel. He loved making tv shows more than writing novels and now that he's able to make tv shows again he doing that instead of cranking out a bunch of novels. Despite what fans think, he is working on Winds (currently in a state of constant rewrites) and he writes a bunch of other asoiaf shit that has been released recently in the last few years.

Bro there is literally no way it would go other way in books. Stannis is just muh duty muh daughter muh duty muh daughter. Fat fuck would absolutely had him pick muh duty over muh daughter (and had sir 'Muh Stannis the Good Man' Davos turn away from him in process), only to show that it was all for nothing.
Martin knows how to write but in the end he made plenty of characters who are completely one dimensional.
Once you are onto his schtick his choices are painfully obvious.

WoW is finished since at least 2019, it's somewhere out there, hidden.

One of illustrators for previous books even leaked an "old cover art" he did.

George unironically thought people would love the TV Series ending that is mostly his ideas and that would booster the sales of his upcoming book as well as other projects.

Then he got so embarrassed by peoples reaction that he decided to kill it. Maybe he even tried to rewrite it, but at his age that is unlikely.

He doesn't have relatives that will sell out his private notes like Brian Herbert.

It will be up to his editor to decide what to do.

Leak the old book?
Leak the rewriting attempt?
Go full Half Life 3 like George likely asked him to?
>>
>>217326784
Imagine the stench

generational rage bait

but you know to me the worst is the hypocrisy. at least valve doesn't pretend to be making half life 3. if he just admitted he's done with the series i'd be relieved

He's gonna live to 100 just to spite people waiting on the book

>>217330505
No it’s much easier to believe his a fat lazy fuck who lost interest, considering he actually has multiple unfinished books series that never had TV adaptations.
It’s just something he does. He’s an ideas guy and not a follow through guy. Over 70 years of untreated ADHD
>>
>>217328299
He was a god-fearing man, and D&D hated that aspect in particular. They were seething about the High Sparrow too.
>>
>>217326824
I know at least one moron who not only thinks we'll see Winds soon, he actively tells other people to read the series.
Average people are retarded.

>>217326784
Isn't he in his late 70s? He dodged the fat bullet.
Now he'll die of death.

GRRM writing sex is like a fish writing about hiking.

>>217330553
he's a hippy boomer so doesn't believe in concepts like obligation or duty to other people even if they made him rich and famous in the first place.

Gurm won't be writing any of the Dunk & Egg tv adaptions beyond the three novellas he's already written, he and HBO confirmed that he gave the showrunner notes about planned stories (that he'll never write) and the network will hire no-name literal who screen writers to just make shit up.
>>
>>217330077
the IP is too strong, they'll keep shitting out content for it and youtubers will still be safe for a while

it's not going to be done by someone who hasn't had sex.

>>217330505
>Then he got so embarrassed by peoples reaction that he decided to kill it.
i personally think this is the most likely scenario.
i remember years ago he said there were years left of the show and didn't know why they were ending it so early, and then it was a massive disaster. i wouldn't finish it either, d&d ruined it.
>>
>>217328133
Yes, I wish I was as fat and greasy looking as him with a vocabulary as limited. I threw away my thesaurus so I don't accidentally come up with a synonym when I'm describing Tyrion's breakfast with black bacon and black toast and black eggs on a black plate with black porridge and black milk on a black morning in the black castle built on black soil in the black mountains while Sansa eats lemoncakes and talks about how much she loves lemoncakes because lemoncakes are cakes made with lemons in them so they taste like lemons with the texture of cakes because I love lemoncakes.

This is also my theory, times have changed, him reading fans reactions to the ages of the characters and the nature of their relationships also means he can't finish the story how he originally planned without getting raked through the coals.

Bran the Broken sitting on a throne is the most GRM thing ever written. Hands down.

That would be Davoc, not Stannis.

Stannisfag cope aside, he was always gonna lose. He's not an endgame character.

>>217326784
Honestly I feel like I could write a pretty satisfying conclusion for the TV show even in the final stretch I think just a few things needed to be changed and at least the ending would be remembered fondly.

>why they hated Stannis
white male with the cleanest claim to the throne? can't be having that
and they had that vision even prior to 2016 and mass TDS, cause of how much they promoted that Renly 1 second clip "no one wants you for their king" back in the day

Based. I don't need smut pretending to be high literature with 100k words of "plot".

I read 150 pages of his first book when the show was popular. It sucked.
