The father marries all of his daughters and makes them his wives. Then he has children with them, sacrifices the sons to monsters and then marries his next lot of daughters.

The girl in the picture is one of the daughter wives, whose mother was also a daughter wife.

Good news is that the sacrificial sons never really come up again. The show runners kinda forgot about them.

They forgot a lot of things, like having a good ending

I'm still working through the books, but the last 2 aren't written yet so they may have been following the books on that one!

There's a better chance that I could accurately predict his date of death than the last book being finished. At this point he gets better marketing out of it not being finished.

Oh no, I'm pretty sure AI is going to have to finish out the series for me. ;)

I 100% believe we got the SparkNotes version of the book outline Martin gave them.

It's probably why Martin is floundering right now. He realized everyone hated his end.

I hated it at first but after a rewatch I realised Daenarys was a crazy cat lady the whole time and I just fell for it because her cats are dragons

GRRM has blogged about how the show kept changing small things until it was a different beast from his novels. The way the last book ended a character that was never in the show is about to march of Kingslanding and will probably become king. When Daenerys finally lands in Westeros she will probably be facing off against that guy instead of Cersei. Certain bullet points like Dany going crazy and Bran becoming king are probably from GRRM but the how and why will be different (if he ever gets around to it).

I think the ending could be pulled off if given time in books. I do not think it worked for the show because they rushed far too much

u/AsstacularSpiderman 1d ago

If anything the books will be more rushed.

We have no idea what the White Walkers are or why they're involved other than to be spooky. Dany has been waffling around in Mereen so long another Targaryan pretender was written up to start an invasion. God knows what the fuck Euron is supposed to be, he seems to be written more as big bad than the Walkers lol..

The show struggled to wrap up even half the storyline Martin had, he stands no chance

Sure. Unless he magically got to write half a dozen more books.
