‘House of the Dragon’ Boss Says George R.R. Martin Criticizing the Show Was ‘Disappointing’: ‘I Made Every Effort to Include Him… He Was Unwilling to Acknowledge the Practical Issues’ of Adaptations


'House of the Dragon' showrunner Ryan Condal say it is disappointing that George R.R Martin publicly disagreed with changes the HBO series made.

George himself is a monument, a literary icon in addition to a personal hero of mine, and was heavily influential on me coming up as a writer.” Martin’s biggest critique about “House of the Dragon” Season 2 as written in his September blog post was about the differences between the “Blood & Cheese” plot line. The show eliminated one character, Aegon and Helaena Targaryen’s youngest son, Prince Maelor, entirely from the story, which Martin said he argued against doing because it will have larger repercussions for the future of the series moving into Seasons 3 and 4.
