George R.R. Martin Has the SameGame of ThronesRegrets You Do

We all have a lot in common with best - sellingA Song of Ice and FireauthorGeorge R.R. Martin . We ’re all carbon paper - based lifeforms . None of us have issue a book titledThe wind of Winter , although all of us would like it to be out ASAP . And it turns out all of us are bummed out about how HBO ’s TV version of GRRM ’s fantasy epic , Game of Thrones , ended up .

accord to an approaching book by the journalist James Andrew Miller , titledTinderbox : HBO ’s Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers(viaYahoo ) , Martin was worried after season five ended and Game of Thrones showrunnersDavid Benioff and D.B. Weiss started deviatingfrom the generator ’s plans for the story . accord to Martin ’s agent Paul Haas : “ George love Dan and Dave , but after time of year five , he did set forth to care about the itinerary they were going because George knows where the story break . He started allege , ‘ You ’re not following my template . ’ ”

According to the book , Martin not only wanted Game of Thrones to feed 10 season but went directly to former HBO CEO Richard Plepler to request them . HBO , of course , would have been thrilled to air Game of Thrones until the heat death of the creation , but the showrunners were dunzo ( as wasKit Harington ’s hair , at the very least ) . Per Haas : “ Dan and Dave were tired , truly so . They were done , and wanted to move on , so they cut it brusk and then negotiations became , how many season can we stretch this out ? Because of course HBO wanted more . ”

To be a footling fair to Weiss and Benioff , season five essentially used up all of the material found in Martin ’s print A Song of Ice and Fire novel ; while Martin reportedly told them how he planned to end the series , the duo would still have to bring forth a circumstances of narrative material entirely on their own . And both the showmakers and the stars ( well , the ones whose characters experience ) made Game of Thrones for eight years , which is not a short amount of time . It make full common sense they ’d want to move on to unexampled project .

On the other deal , the show get under one’s skin exponentially uncollectible during its last three season , because it was so apparent that Weiss and Benioff were trying to wrap thing up as shortly as humanly potential . If Game of Thrones had 10 time of year to roleplay out , Daenerys ’s character arc from semi - benevolent conqueror tovengeful mass murderercould have been — and the running word here is could — developed in a way that mat up organic and truthful rather of hotfoot and ridiculous . Alas , we ’ll have to hold back until the inevitable 2032 Game of Thrones reboot to find out how the story should have finish … assume , of course , The wind of Winter is out by then .
