He undermined that guy that adapted his shitty half-assed Dance of the Dragons fanfic pretty good.
>>
He goes to conventions to furiously bounce cosplay chicks on his knee. For research purposes.
>>
i still hold to the theory that Winds and Dream are both done, with his attorneys, and intended to be released after his death. reason: he gave his broadstoke notes to D&D for seasons 5-8 of GoT. what you saw is the ending GRRM wrote. after the backlash to the show, he made this choice so he does not have to endure the backlash to his final two books
>>
He's been cashing checks and eating good. That's something.
>>
post the horny blog after going to casting and seeing desperate young actresses
>>
He singledhandedly created Elden Ring, a really popular videogame
>>
>>221397882
the problem with the show was not where the characters ultimately ended up, but the way it was told. It was rushed and sloppy.

dany going insane and dying, jaime going back to cersei, bran becoming king, jon getting exiled, are all perfectly acceptable story arc conclusions that CAN work if they are given proper time to breathe and unfold.

he hasnt finished any of his remaining books because he has made his millions and literally anything he delivers will make people mad, so he doesnt bother anymore and just enjoys his retirement
>>
Wow, he's literally me except I'm not rich and famous
>>
>>221397786
why would he bother when he can coast off got's success?
>>
>>221398002
agreed and that would also be a hilariously based choice by him. i suppose we'll know in the months following his death
>>
>>221398002
Jaime going back to Cersei is not perfectly acceptable and would most certainly not happen if a new book was ever to come out.
>>
>>221397786
my theory is that he has trashed and restarted enough chapters at this point to dill up 3 whole books.

At Dragoncon last year he went pretty hard at Sanderson and was kind of a dick to him.
>George was telling a story of how smart a child he was that he knew Jesus didn't exist at 8 years old and how stupid Christians are. This was obviously directed at Sanderson who stared down and his face got a little red. I don't blame him
>Brandon got asked a question about hard magic systems and how he creates them. George jumped in and went on a ten minute rant about how hard magic systems are dumb, he hates them, no one wants to read them, and you're a questionable author if you write them.
>Brandon's successful business (Dragonsteel) and kickstarters got brought up a couple times and George got all worked up. Said authors shouldn't be expected to do social media or do anything other than write. And also said some things like "just because someone does a kickstarter doesn't mean they can write or that the book is worth reading"
>George directly asked Brandon, "you're Mormon right? How do you deal with that?" And it came across with a really blunt and snarky tone. This was a few questions after he said Christians were stupid and Jesus was make believe.
>>
>>221397882
The ending to the show and the ending to the books would be fundamentally different because the show cut out like 50% of the characters from the book. People can bitch about Dany going crazy all they want but that's only because they were showfags that got the yaas slay queen version of Dany instead of the plainly telegraphed as vulnerable and tending toward unstable mess that is book Dany. And besides Bran ending up on the iron throne I'd bet dollars to donuts 0% of his story beyond ADWD had been fleshed out. My point being that he has every reason to show that his completed story one-ups the show and then he can push for a remake and gorge himself on the millions more that rakes in. But he won't because he's a fat lazy fuck that can't write for shit.
>>
>>221398155

He doesn't like Christcucks. No one does.

This theory, that the show is faithful to what GRRM had planned, is neither original nor uncommon, and it's absolutely retarded and provably false. He has already released content that directly contradicts what had happened in the show, you fucking retard.
Not to mention that huge plot points already in the completed books are not even in the show itself.
>>
>>221400020
And he probably took longer writing the backstory than the devs did creating the fucking game, lmao.
>>
>>221400073
It definitely gets the main plot points down

>others defeated
>Dany goes crazy kills everyone
>Jon exiled up north
>cripple becomes king
>Sansa rules the north
>Jamie and Cersei die

That's GRRM's boring and uninspired ending at least how he originally planned it.

This. There's a difference between not being a Christcuck and being a giant raging asshole about it. Georgie isn't just anti-Christcuck, he's super jealous that Sanderson both writes far faster than him and has a loyal, growing, fanbase while GRRM constantly gets shit on, all the while Sanderson is successful doing all the things GRRM is against.
Mormonism specifically is really fucking dumb but that doesn't stop Sanderson from being great with his fans or producing a lot of enjoyable work.

what george wrote on a napkin:
>there's some incestuous gods/demi-gods ruling a country controlled by a secret religious group called the two fingers
>miyazaki takes that and makes them a literal hand with two fingers communicating with an outer god(s)
I'm willing to bet Miyazaki; beyond the skeleton of the world/Marika's crooked family tree, created the bulk of the lore thats in the game, especially all the high fantasy stuff. Miyazaki's greatest talent is taking extremely limited context and stretching it into whole and interesting worlds.

One Red Wedding coming right up to deus ex machina away Victarion and the other Ironborn factions, which realistically can never bring a satisfying ending and need to be exterminated, and Dany and Aegon will go batshit and lose their dragons in fights against each other which span 2 pages.

Weird that he didn't use AI to shit out the last few books. Doubt they'd be worse than Dance With Dragons. And I hate AI.
>>
>>221401382
Tee hee
>>
>>221401408
His biggest problem (allegedly) has always been that he hit a wall when too many POV characters ended up in one place, and while this hadn't been a problem for him in book 1 when every POV character was at Winterfell, his "style" had fallen into excess and lethargy by books 4/5
But at this point, he could just ask AI to lay out a general plan for the overall arc with the characters involved and what needs to happen and what should happen from which character's perspective based on their personal histories (and given the series is popular, the AI scraping would do most of the legwork there, too) and then just work from the bullet points grok spits out and none one would ever even know he'd fucking done it because he'd still be writing all of it himself

His worldbuilding was horrible from the start, everything related to zombies and ancient evil awakening was awful. Night Watch sections were good despite Others, not because of them. In DoD he also managed to fuck up the tone, turning the book into a shitty Robert E. Howard adaptation, with ludicrous characters mentioned in a paragraph or two and never explored. He even managed to make dragons look harmless and wrote two identical Arya chapters in two books. This is before I mention how he keeps raising the dead.
>>
>>221401509
George's worldbuilding is insane but it really got bloated and on the one hand, sure you can refocus, but then again, as a reader I rather want the meandering plot and have 4 more books than a quick conclusion and focus. Feast is in many ways the best book because it brings in a gazillion new viewpoints about the world and the lore

>>221401639
Tolkien famously didn't finish his shit, because unlike the Hobbit and Lotr which were just copy paste, the Silmarillion was somewhat original and he had no idea what to do with it, so his son hired a bunch of nerds to write it and pass it off as Tolkien jr. work
>>
>>221401646
normally yes, but Gurm has done so many fake out deaths, why would you be surprised?
>>
>>221401725
>>221401747
Which ones?

Gurm doesn't actually know anything about medieval history.
>>
>>221398186
This is my favorite of the copes people have come up with to deal with the fact their subversive story ends in a subversive way
>>
>>221402029
Subversive endings just aren't satisfying see Chinatown and the Mist.
>>
>>221401935
which is good because he portrays medieval times at face value with dragons, magic and fantasies that are sometimes literally real and sometimes even in universe fake.
GRRM's medieval world is like Westerns where cowboys are relevant and gunslingers and not just gay dudes rustling sheep like in reality. He portrays knights and those times like we imagine them to have been like. what we WANT them to be like
>>
>>221402105
We want knights to be murderous rapists?
>>
>>221397786
The final blackpill me was the interview, where he went
>Yeah, I was going to kill of Sansa, lmao. But she was kind of popular in the show, so maybe I'm not going to anymore. I don't know.
>>
>>221402142
Only the Cleganes are that. The vast majority of knights do honor their vows and if they don't it is condemned and abhorred by the people in the book.
But corruption of mind and ethics is reality. Where I live, there is a ruin that was once occupied by robber knights that constantly threatened my city and travellers before finally being disbanded. And they were genuine knights, not just bandits in armor
