He did the documentary on war of the Roses for BBC history channel shit too. It was good.

@@joeski1073 He also did a couple castles documentary’s that are really good almost feels like the one irish castle was the inspiration for the red wedding

@@NostyFripples the Red wedding was reversed in the real life story right? I recall George saying that the guests killed the people once they were asleep.

@@NostyFripples That doc is one of the best I have ever seen, Dan Jones presentation is masterpiece.

@@joeski1073 Yes, it was based on the black dinner and the Glencoe massacre (though the guests killed the hosts in this instance).

LOL hilarious.

To each his own but after the show butchered the ending I yearn to see this story's conclusion told right.

S.H.I.E.L.D yeah season 8 wasn’t too great. Still better than s7 and s5 IMO. However, i like where the Starks ended up. Even Bran lol. And the final ten mins of the finale was 👌. Ramin is a god

@@Rian-zf7ye It was horrible like s7. Seasons 5 and 6 were meh and the others were pretty good.

@@Rian-zf7ye The Stark endings made me wanna vomit. I kind of liked Starks in the beginning, they were never really anything too special for me, but I liked them well enough. Especially when Ned was around. I didn't like how Arya had this terrible overpowered assassin arc after leaving the Hound to die. Sansa has always been a bitch in the show and her being Queen just because is just horrible. It's that simple. Jon was likeable, I guess, but then he turned into an absolute retard in the last season or few seasons and the Targaryen thing was merely a plot device to make us think that what they did in s8 made any sense, which it absolutely didn't. Don't get me started on Bran.

I couldn't even finish Fire and Blood I found it so boring. I only like to read real history textbooks, not fake histories, what a waste of time.

He probably has his own groomers lol sad though

Could not agree more, we live in a time where it is oh so clear what we need to do to live a long, healthy life. Of course..his choice.

Jmichael Isbell I’m totally for free choice, but someone needs to take that coke away from him. 😂

Dude he is 71 he isnt getting any older, but i think he is dishonest with is fans, not releasing for ages, took the example of brandon sanderson his books are amazing he delievers pretty soon and he as a consistent interaction with his fans, 9 years is a lot of time its no excuse, i know he is getting old but there is no excuse when people are doing it a lot more fast with books in my opinion as good and with chances of getting even better

Lol he is not our toy. If he dies he dies how he wanted

@lady galadriel Aegon's conquest is mostly rehash of World. But everything else got expanded. A lot more details on First Dornish War, Maegor and Jaeheris. Events leading into and out of Dance of the Dragon were greatly expanded.

Yes and the 3 dunk n egg stories too

Do I have news for you

@@cameron2k66 LMAO 😂

😂😂😂😂 the book series is probably not gonna end , we're doomed Damn you coca-cola

Why? That’s a weird thing to harp about.

@@cdowg187 everyone is concerned with his health being good so he wont leave us so soon

@skankhunt42 people get more concerned for their talented idols. Hes making a video game with miyazaki, I seriously want him to express his talents for 20 more years lol

Its coke zero

Donald. J.G. Trump

yessss please

We're gonna kinda get that at the end of the second volume of Fire and Blood.

i know right? why do people sleep on robers rebellion? we know how ALL pre quels end but roberts rebellion has everything a prequel needs. drama and politics in the beginning and then full blown war at the end followed by more politics.

I'm kinda enjoying the trickle of information we get through characters heads. As much as I devour any information Martin gives me, it takes away from the impact of the mythology in the mainline series.

Lol. We paying 500k per actor each episode? From the get?? I like it

House of the dragon is here 🔥🔥🔥

You got your wish!

You got it

I loved reading three pages on a legal debate about the merits of the Lord’s Right to the First Night 😴

😂

He probably uses a type writer 😃

chill out, stop trying to be edgy

Or a double bacon cheeseburger

@@nanimator0 stfu

Volune 2 just wait for it

@@Brandonhayhew That's never coming out bud, he can't even finish his main series let alone Side Stories

Lalvon Zelpharr kill Martin and let the writing crew finish the books

@@Brandonhayhew that's the last one in queue.

there is no rise of blackfire only fall

Let me ask you something I love fire and blood as well. You say that you are a loyalist but to whom Queen Renera and her bastard strongs or king Agon

@Pseudo Sozi Love live King Stannis!!! but you are way to early

Impossible. There's no way he's sitting on such a massive book while trying to finish another massive one..

I agree. I feel like he's finishing both for a back to back year release.

@@roadiejames you're setting yourself up for disappointment

Mike A. same here!!

Twice for winds of winter, 50 times until ADOS.

Sweet summer child

I started GOT in the summer and I'm on A Feast for Crows now lol.... the 6th book probably wont be out by the time I'm caught up

Mike A. Same I have like a small chunk of game of thrones left to finish reading

He is but he stated recently in his notablog website he’s nowhere near done

Doesn't appear so...

The series will never be finished, I think he’s known that for a long time. I just hope he releases some more prequel stuff before he dies. Winds would be amazing, obviously, but honestly doubt we will ever see it. I hope I’m wrong

@@Geywilliamjohnson432 I can’t see him leaving what amounts to his life’s work unfinished.

Mark Kruda anythIng GoT related is likely a cash cow. It’s one of the biggest franchises in the world.

I hope that's the only one that's made for now. I don't want it oversaturated. People already have a bad taste in their mouth left by the last few seasons.

Aharkhan thats why we need a GoT remake lol. In 20 years we’ll get it.

@@sinnoboy0000 It is not even in the top 50 biggest franchises, below "Angry Birds" and "Twillight". Also Disney managed to flop with "Solo", a Star Wars film that even featured characters people were already attached to. This is not a safe bet.

@@sinnoboy0000 To be honest I'd rather they just left it alone.

Entitled.

I doubt it. I read somewhere that he pitched the Hotd before long night/blood moon because he believes it would be a better show. But HBO wanted to go with blood moon. The pilot tested horribly that's why HBO canned it

I don't think he wrote like wrote wrote for them. More like he gave them some insightful ideas about the story and theme.

Howard Pyle and NC Wyeth are LEGENDS!

Sure, it goes “Fire and blood” (which is the first half of Targaryen rule in Westeros) And then “A knight of the Seven Kingdoms” which takes place 100 years before the game of thrones show But if you wanted some of Robert’s rebellion then you could read “The world of Ice & Fire” but there’s literally only 5 pages on it. And that’s cuz this book is more of a giant history book of Westeros so it gives short snippets of each king and place in the world. But it’s a very big book with ALOT of information on everything. There is bits of “the long night” but not concrete stuff about it (the book is written in a way that’s it told my a Magester who says that it could be factual and it could be wrong, who knows). And there really isn’t a lot on the doom of Valeryia, but if you want to know more about that then it would be in Fire and Blood cuz it’s when the Targaryens left the east, one of their daughters could see the future and she tells her father we need to leave, so all the Targaryens leave Valyria. And everyone there is like ok cool whatevs, and then they all die

@@matthewlawton9241 Umh, writing one of the great fantasy series comparable in scale and popularity with Tolkien and Jordan(wheel of time)

Wouldn't roberts rebellion be better?

@@amansinghrollno-7167 I would love a series about Robert's rebellion..

Setup is always easier than finish.

I bet the books would be exactly the same or 90% the same with the show at the very least.

@@AgentAO7 Youre absolutely right, however, if I paint a bowl of fruits and then Da Vinci or Michaelangelo paints it as well.. Would you say its the same thing? Both are paintings of a bowl of fruits. Hopefully my point made it across.

@monokhem I'll give credit to D&D for S1-S6, they were absolutely amazing. But once they ran out of material it became obvious that the story is better than them. Even if everything happens the same way (Daenerys goes "Mad Queen", Jaime dies trying to save Cersei, John returning to the wall etc.), It's about how and why these things happen. In S1-S6 everything happened for a reason and eventually everything makes sense. Hardly anything about S7-S8 make sense, things just happen because they needed to in order ot finish the story quick enough. D&D are trash compared to GRRM.

@monokhem I want whatever it is you're smoking.

@monokhem Try using an actual argument next time.

No

It's called The World of Ice and Fire --the untold history of Westeros and game of thrones .

After how convoluted the last couple books got I wouldn't be surprised if he was stumped.

He's, rich not blocked/stumped.

He's said that the presence of the show was a huge pressure and time consumer for him, and it sounds like his creativity was very low during that time. I can't pretend to know exactly how he's like, but I could imagine that he's somewhat more productive on Winds now. Fire & Blood came out awhile ago and he's not going to work on the second part until GoT is finished, or at least he stated someplace else. It's possible he is extremely blocked but I have faith he'll finished GoT, if not _everything_ else he wants to do.

I think George was a big drinker in his earlier years and wrote with fluidity during those times, I mean some of his stuff I cant imagine writing sober, all the rapes and graphically dark and violent scenes. I think he sobered up and the words don't come as easy anymore. simple as that.

@@balbanes1 Maybe he should sit down with Stephen King and ask him how he did it? Some of King's most bat-shit crazy writing was cocaine and alcohol fueled but he stayed just as prolific when he sobered up. King did some fantastic writing chemically assisted, but he's more coherent and logical now. Whatever he needs to do I hope George can produce the true ending to the saga, as I want to wipe Season 8 from my mind.

Grrm is an artist, not james patterson. If he dies masterpiece of literature (which it absolutely is) not finished, then you havent been payin attention. ima hold it against the double D's, if thats what happens they pumped and dumped. Moved on to the next and jfc no one has high hopes for that. If you do, ur fucking stupid. Seriously. Hell the only reason they got the job is bc of LA connects and they were fans w half a brain who figured out jons parentage. Whoopty shit they were able to gather the money and talent, but stopped giving a fuck. Idk. I blame amanda peet. Why? Bc i fucking can. Dany roasted kings landing, so i can hate on amanda peet and her tiny boobs if i wanna.

Srsly tho amanda peet, hmu i dont even know how to get a passport so ill be around. Jk. U ruined GoT amanda peet! Jk u cute

Neither will you

She is evil.

@@MalrickEQ2 No

I'm fine with him doing that. Writing that takes not nearly as much time as TWOW, but the quality is still incredible.

@@zacharybattocchio6134 Given the fact that he's 71 years old I'd say we really need to be focusing on what matters here.

@@Sheild401 What matters, is what makes him happy. He owes us nothing as his audience and fans, he's given us plenty to enjoy. A fantastic continuation and ending would be incredible, but he's not our literacy slave that we have to have the desire to milk out as much story as we can before he bites it. He deserves better than that from us

@@princelyclouds7980 We deserve better from him... He's got all his money from all of us who bought his books. But I've had this conversation so many times, at this point I stop caring, if he wants to finish them ok, if not, also ok. There are more fantastic writers and books out there. Time and History will tell. He could pass by being "the author of the greatest fantasy saga" or " the author who got caught up by his own work and failed to finish it". As I said, time will tell. He's 71.

It's only because of lazy writing on the producer's part my friend. They ran out of source material and rushed the ending so they could move on to their shitty Star Wars deal. The world and history within the world of ASOIAF will be done better justice with the prequels, I'm sure of it.

monokhem Uh, wtf are you even talking about? The ending was predictable. Everyone knew what was gonna happen. Sorry you like mediocrity 😂

Exactly, he needs to stop working on shows that nobody really wants to see especially after the disastrous finale of Game of Thrones

Lalvon Zelpharr excuse me ? We all gonna watch the show , what are you talking about

@monokhem Ha Haaa! And just how many of the novels have you actually read? Be Honest!

@monokhem Not impressed by the writing and story you became a fan of the show. Sounds plausible. The show is to the novels is what pro wrestling is to martial arts. But I don't care what your opinion on anything is so you go girl!

@monokhem How exacly is game of thrones better than a storm of swords?

He is working on it, just not at a high speed.

Entitled.

Millions of other things to read and hardly any half as interesting or as well written.

@@Sheild401 you would think so at first, but if one one looks a bit more, then, there is so, so so very much that's just as good if not better. Certainly he's one of the best in Fantasy, but there's hundreds of other authors to try, not to mention moving outside of the genre. I understand being impatient with him, that's all well and good, I just don't like people berating him online or in person. Not that I've noticed you do that or anything, just something I've noticed in general from people. I think we should be grateful for what we have, and spend the time in between engrossed in other things.

Philip Clapper I agree. Those losers who berate him online don’t deserve to read his work IMO. But I am heavily invested in this series in ways that I wasn’t for Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Hunger Games etc. It’s just written so well. I’m not even an avid reader and I would not hesitate to pay $300 right now to get my hands on a finished copy of Winds.

@@Sheild401 I used to think the same until I get the Malazan Saga by Steven Eriksson. Entertaining, mysterious, complex and the best: finished. But give it time, at the beggining it could look like nothing has sense lol. Give it a try. I'm just so done with GRRM and his neverending story.

@@Sheild401 It's probably nostalgia but I think I enjoyed Hunger Games the most out of this list, with Game of thrones as close second. I never particulary liked the two others.

Definitely now, with the popularity of HOTD. People want to see dragons. I'd personally love to see Robert's Rebellion.

@@TJ-fe7rr my buddy at work told me that HBO max is supposed to make a Ageon the conqueror movie and then a series after it

Season 8 wasn't that bad, you're over exaggerating.

@@RealSupaHotFireVEVO no he's really not it was absolutely horrible. Never seen a show so good with an airtight plot end up with the most messiest character butchering, plot armour and plot holes. Very few things were good about the last season compared to a show that was absolutely stellar in it's first 4 seasons.

@@RealSupaHotFireVEVO It's so bad it feels like a fan made parody where they pureposfully picked absurd ideas and destroyed every subplot, character and the overall plot of the story for the laughs.

The books will naturally be better than the show, but the best part is: hopefully the showrunners of the new shows will have learned from any mistakes in GOT.

He didn't sell it he gave them rights to ADAPT it. It's their own adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire. He technically still controls all of the creative ownership.

Yep. The one he called The Long Night was cancelled after a pilot was completed and never ordered to series. Currently the only prequel in active development is House of the Dragon, based on the Dance of the Dragons, and recently there's been reports of early work on a Dunk and Egg show. Those reports also included rumors of a Robert's Rebellion show.

@@INRamos13 House of the Dragons is out now! Its pretty good.

He could at least finish the 2nd to last book, and write the last book so it is released upon his death

MogeOfficialTV true

Nah, it must have been awful for them to pull the plug after spending all that money.. HBO know their stuff

Maybe just don't use cgi, animate or do something creative. It is art, it does not have to be live-action and or look realistic.

Crazy that it did happened

Michele Silva Wrong. The ASoIaF world and fandom is much bigger than George. He is morally obligated to finish what he started.

Dave L we’ll have to agree to disagree.

@@davel7791 I'm actually disgusted by your reply. No matter how good a series is, there is definitely no moral obligation to finish it. Are you kidding? Cut the man some slack.

@@Ryroe I'm sorry I offended you and anyone else. However I stand by my statement. His series was so brilliant, he should have finished it instead of wasting years basking in being a "celebrity". He was given the gift of this story not for his own enrichment, but for the benefit of mankind. That's how I see it. Now we'll probably never get to see the end of it, which is a terrible shame. (I hope I'm wrong about that.)

@@davel7791 He's been writing since he was a teen. If anyones earned the right to enjoy their twilight years as a celebrity, it's him. Every writer probably wants to achieve that level of success, so fair play to him - he's worked this hard so he can enjoy the fruits of his labour. As a fan I'd love it to be finished, but it's his story to tell.
