He based a lot of his world on real life history. Starks and Lanisters were inspired by The Wars of the Roses. The Conquest on William of Normandy and the Dance on the English Civil war between Matilda (daughter of Henry I) and her cousin Stephen. The Mad King is very reminiscent of Henry VI but loosely. But that's not to say he didn't do a brilliant job world building.

This is insane and will make for thrilling, fast-paced television, but the key to HotD’s success will be how it fills out the space between major battles once the war is fully underway. ASOIAF has some thrilling action, but I hope that the majority of the show doesn’t become “BOOOOOM dragons, raaah! Hack slash, city destroyed, five characters died this episode, lots of fighting!” Under GRRM, Ryan and Miguel, though, I know we’re in good hands. If season one is any indication, we’ll get some of the most well set-up, emotionally-driven, politically rich medieval fantasy warfare put to screen. Still with multiple character deaths per episode!

He also initially declined to take the crown when his father died but was pushed by his mother and Christan Cole. Edit the other thing I would add, aside from the death of the dragons, the blackfryers also played a big role in the downfall of the Targaryen's some 50 years before Robert's rebellion...

Can't wait to see these events interpreted in House of the Dragon. I'm assuming they'll close out season 1 with the deaths of Viserys Targaryen and then Lyman Beesbury, season 2 with the death of Rhaenys Targaryen, season 3 with the deaths of Otto Hightower and Jasper Wylde, season 4 with the deaths of Aemond Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen (?), season 5 with the storming of the Dragonpit and the deaths of Hugh Hammer and Jon Roxton, and season 6 with the hour of the wolf and the death of Alicent Hightower. Can't imagine they could do this story justice with any fewer seasons and I don't know if I have the patience for any more. I'm also wondering if they'll show Daemon dying, Daemon surviving, or just leave it ambiguous. Either way I'm looking forward to seeing everything play out.

@breesway9749 Жыл бұрын

They’ve said that they’re only looking to do 3-4 seasons for the show but I totally agree. Idk how they’re gonna fit so much stuff in such short time frames. If they’re ending the first season with the crowning of Aegon II, then maybe they’ll end the 2nd season with Aemond taking over Aegons position as King. Then I feel like it’d be a natural progression for season 3 to focus on the dragon seeds and Aemond as a villain, ending with Daemon and Aemonds deaths and the betrayal of the dragonseeds. Then Season 4 would be about the rest. It sounds rushed but to be fair the book it’s based only has it take up like 4 chapters. I’m sure they can figure it out
