HBO Responds To George R.R. Martin’s Dig At Creative Decisions Made On ‘House Of The Dragon’: “Showrunner Required To Make Difficult Choices” – Update


George R.R. Martin has followed through with his promise to share his thoughts about the making of season 2 of The House of the Dragon -- but it's not quite as harsh as people may have predicted.

On Aug. 30, Martin teased that he planned to write “about everything that’s gone wrong with House of the Dragon.” The natural assumption was that he was going to weigh in on the less-than-stellar finale that ended up not including the much anticipated Battle of the Gullet between the Blacks and Greens. Instead, it was about Ryan Condal’s decision to omit a character that was key in Martin’s Fire & Blood and how that will likely impact the story going forward. I thought the actors who played the killers on the show were excellent… but the characters are crueler, harder, and more frightening in Fire & Blood.”
