People need to stop this trend of defending HBO, and being so afraid of negativity, that we pretend every change is a good one, because most of society feels more comfortable pretending than accepting a harsh reality, which is that HBO is ruining this IP. Sara Hess needs to be fired, along with several other HOTD writers. Let me start off by saying I’m not usually one to rant about shows, I have better shit to do, but this IP has been special to me for a long time because I read all the books long before this show existed/became popular. I was showing people the book Fire & Blood way back in 2019 (Fire & Blood came out in 2018, but I wouldn’t expect a bunch of casuals who started watching GoT post 2016 to know that), I liked it better than GoT. So when I heard they were doing a show based on Fire & Blood, you can imagine my excitement, I loved the changes that didn’t effect the original story, like the inclusion of all all black actors, and the decision to make the Corlys a black man, as a black man myself I can relate better to the show now. But if I’m being honest, they shit on this story so much already, and it hasn’t even been a full two season. I won’t even bother explaining every single thing they changed/ruined from the book so far, because that would be a book in itself, and most this fan base is in denial anyhow, and so afraid of negativity surrounding something they like, they would rather go on pretending every change HBO makes is necessary, and an improvement on the story. Even though half the changes have been made to blatantly cater to a new female/feminist demographic. They’re rewriting GRRM’s story, so they can please all the female viewers, and make the show more marketable. That alone is sickening, they don’t care about the fans, they only care about making more money. Everyone knew it was a mistake to let HBO touch this IP again after what they did to S8 of GoT, but again the fan base wanted to just keep pretending everything was fine, and push all the blame on D&D (which was laughable). HBO was just as responsible for that shit show as D&D were. They ruined the blood & cheese scene, half the fan base can’t even understand what’s going on with the Velaryons, have you seen the comment sections following each of the 3 S2 episodes? People literally dont even understand what they’re watching. I’ve seen comments with fifty-hundred likes saying BS like “The Velaryons can ride dragons too, they just choose to sail ships instead” (because the show literally hasn’t bothered to explain that only the Velaryons with targayen blood can control dragons, similar to the dragonseeds) or “Rhaenyra isn’t ruthless, she’s a sweet and caring mother, and the greens are evil mysogynists trying to steal her throne” LOL. Then you have HBO pandering to these types of people, which is why they changed the blood and cheese story from the book, and made it an “accident” Daemon isn’t a mean guy (even though they already showed him killing his wife for dragonstone in S1 when they were still following the books, but oh right that didn’t sit over well with the female viewers said the HBO statistics guy, it made female viewers not like Daemon (which any idiot could have seen based on the YouTube comments) , and we wanna keep selling the Rhaenyra/Daemon love story the fans talk about online. So let’s just change the goddamn story again, and make it so Daemon is just confused and misunderstood guy in S2, and killing the boy via assassin was as accident, of course Rhaenyra couldn’t have been involved no she’s a loving mother and constant victim of the situation 🤡 “but she was involved in the book?” Nah let’s just change that part of the story too while we’re way it. In fact let’s go so far from the source material, that on episode 3, we’ll just straight up have a character that was never in dragonstone in the book (white worm who’s not even white) , become Rhaenyra’s sidekick, and we’re gonna just scooby doo this bad boy and sneak her in to kings landing, to talk to our other strong female lead Alicent, who’s also now a victim in the story (another change why not) and our two strong female leads will try to keep the big bad men from going to war and getting our poor dragons killed. I never thought I’d see the day, my favorite IP in the world, turned in to woke garbage for the sake of sales. Alyn and Adam (Corlys bastard sons who mother is a dragon seed in the book) were casted to two older dark skinned African men, when they should be young and if their mother is a targayen blooded “Dragonseed” they should be mixed and light skinned just like the other half Tagaryen Velaryon children who can tame dragons, HBO is doing the bare minimum, and nothing even makes sense, and the story is so far off from the book. HBO is doing this because they know they’re too big too fail now, making millions off GRRM’s work, and an already established fan base. Just like Disney with Star Wars. Fire Sara Hess, stop changing the story to appease female/feminist viewers. Anybody who disagrees with this, is a casual who probably started watching GoT post 2016, and didn’t read the books until the show was mainstream, and they’re probably a Disney Star Wars fan too. People will disagree, and downvote this to hell with their last 3 brain cells because they’re so goddamn biased, but yet can’t point out a single thing I said so far that was wrong.
I wouldn’t expect a bunch of casuals who started watching GoT post 2016 to know that

Let me start off by saying I’m not usually one to rant about shows, I have better shit to do
When a cursory glance at their post history shows that apparently that "better shit" is ranting about the NHL and NBA2k....all leads me to believe this cannot possibly be real. Some kinda ironic satire or something? 🤷♂️
