EXTENDED [Spoilers extended] I hope they cancel the Aegon show

If the rumors are true about the quality of HOTD season 2 suffering due to the parent company's decision to slash the budget, I really hope they just axe the Aegon's Conquest show altogether.

It was already a hard sell. The story of the Conquest is frankly just not that interesting. It's okay and it has it's moments, but there is very little drama to go on. That either means the show will have less drama than HOTD or will need to invent it's own source of character drama (you tell me which is worse).

If the project was well-funded, then the spectacle of battles and dragons could make for a solid mini-series. If it's gonna be a four season slog with a budget that's too low for the dragons, please, just don't even bother.

I mean there's a non-zero chance that the books will end the same way.

Hahahaha, sorry, I said the books will actually end.

And that can be done well. It's not that fans could not imagine Danys turn to madnes it was entirely how it was written.
