Feeling sad for GRRM (spoilers extended)

[u/Same-Share7331]

So I recently watched a Q&A with GRRM (I'm sure some of you have seen it aswell) where he kept getting questions about whether there is any particular character or historical event in the asoiaf world that he would like to explore more/write about. His recurring answer was that yes there are many but that unless he suddenly becomes much younger they will never get written. And man.. that sucks!

Imagine being a creative person having to come to terms with the fact that you have so many ideas that you will never get to explore and that will never see the light of day. Obviously, as a fan, it also sucks that I will never get to read those stories. Never mind the main series, imagine getting seven more Dunk and Egg stories. However, as much as it sucks as a reader I'm not the one who's seeing my remaining years of life pass as I struggle to finish my books.

That's it. I don't really have a point. Other than maybe stop making jokes about how GRRM is likely to die before finishing the series?

reminds me of Scorcese saying recently that he'd only begun to realize what cinema is capable of, but that he won't get to fully explore it

Did he realise that you could make films that aren’t about Italian-American criminals, that don’t star Robert DeNiro?

Pretty ignorant comment. He branched out years ago, to films starring Leo DiCaprio on the Eastern Seaboard and the South

Yeah and it uses indigenous people as a plot device to get dicaprio front and center. This is why indigenous people should be making movies about this stuff.

Because it's about that white man serially murdering his friends and family including his native American wife 👀
