@GSerbin_25 You can write a great, unfaithful adaptation. Totally possible. We disagree about whether HOTD is accomplishing that possibility. I’m genuinely glad you’re finding enjoyment in the show.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

It’s discouraging how many people think House of The Dragon criticism is only due to book purism. HOTD if you look at the show in a vacuum is an incoherent and unbalanced political drama one minute and weightless eye candy the next.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@Slimkid_7 Mediocre? It was.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@backhandoftruth Uhm.. okay. You wanna think about that paradox you just cornered yourself into? 😂

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@GreaseGoblins I agree. But from what I’ve seen/read, his obsession with the source material was essential in George pushing for him as show runner. Maybe he doesn’t have the creative freedom D&D had, but other than financial limitations, I can’t find any evidence that he’s not in charge.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@torinthestorm I think it’d be foolish and stubborn to treat Fire&Blood or earlier iterations of the Dance as if it were George’s best writing.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@GreaseGoblins Sure, book fans would be totally baffled or frustrated, but they already are baffled and frustrated.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@GreaseGoblins that feel like natural climax points for the reconstructed/alternative universe characters they created.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@GreaseGoblins It’s a good point about walking that line and adhering to highlights broadly. It throws the characterization of the major events way off to the point of character motives are inconsistent from episode to episode. They’d be better served to create their own highlights-

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@GreaseGoblins The best way I’ve found to view it without getting wrapped up in how faithful it is; is to treat it like a show inspired by Fire & Blood and just drop the idea that it’s an adaptation.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@wayne77miller The show has legitimate flaws outside of not being a faithful adaptation. That’s my point.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@MovieFlameProd People say this so frequently and it’s as if you deliberately pretend the 4th and 5th books don’t completely sabotage this “theory” and at the very least massively recontexualize any overlap in the show ending and the book’s ending.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@MikeLucasTV Oh man.. that’s discouraging. I’ll let it pass since you’re one of the only legitimate ball knowers in Cleveland media.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@Graysixell @littlefiendx In fairness you’re getting almost nothing from the book. Also fair, the book is being way overrated by many to justify their displeasure of HOTD.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@Graysixell There’s plenty of grievances to be had without ever mentioning George RR Martin’s weakest writing. The show is in the middle maybe and has plenty to praise, but these “masterpiece” and 10/10 assessments come across as gaslighting as much as the “worst show ever” crowd.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

You might find more enjoyment when you realize House of The Dragon is not an adaptation with a few changes, but instead it’s only inspired by events in Fire & Blood. Does that explain shaky character motivations and inconsistent episode to episode continuity? No.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@flooszn @jet7111 @jonjayh Uhm.. I guess that’s an answer.

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@jet7111 @jonjayh What was the most phenomenal part about it for you?

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@lesautres28 @jonjayh What was it that you liked about it the most?

[D. Charles @c_tuthill]

@ace_9292 @jonjayh What about it are you praising?
