Really depends. You can twist it around the other way too. If, as multiple sources have confided, they did have contempt for the source material it isn’t a stretch that they’d have no patience for Cavill’s criticisms. They would have viewed Cavill as a dick for being more loyal to the author’s vision. They certainly did put out that propaganda to save their own skins. And given how the quality of the show declined and viewership along with it, reality favors Cavill.
I have no doubt they got the major beats right, but their execution to get to those points was horrendous. After watching season 8 I realized why the fAegon plotline was important. GRRM can get there in a more satisfying way.
I hope not, I want him to get his full accolades while alive. I have no doubt he will come up with a great ending. Though I do wonder if he got spooked by the TV Show ending.
I get it, but Martin HAS set fan expectations. We’ve been teased by Martin about how he’s so close multiple times. He insists he’s furiously working on ASOIAF, but then he’s writing other books, working on multiple TV shows, etc. Again, all this is coming from Martin’s own my mouth. If he enjoys those other projects and wants to work on them, that is his choice to make. That is where he doesn’t owe us anything. But he doesn’t get to lie to us either. And it is pretty clear he has.
Is there still a live action 40k starring Cavill?
I don’t care what anyone says, three years between seasons is ridiculous.
I just hope they don’t act like grief ends after the acute stage and everything is ok. Because it’s not like that. You carry it, but it never goes away.
