Five out of six episodes in the books. Thus far? Virtually every major character is both white and male. No gay shit. No girl boss shit. Positive portrayals of men and masculinity. Minimal or no millennial writing. The show appears to be unapologetically targeting the traditional male audience. It's a complete 180 from the last decade of feminized DEI trash.
How did this get approved??
More seriously: yes, this is undoubtedly the "reconciliation" phase of the leftist takeover. We're expected to come crawling back to Hollywood because they've been magnanimous enough to offer us a few scraps of quality targeted entertainment.
But look at the bright side: imagine how miserable these woke executives and producers must have been reading scripts and watching dailies that featured almost no women, minorities, or gays lol
Forgot to add: the show is universally beloved online. Gee, I wonder why...
That is a pleasant surprise. I want to get the books. I do have a bit of nerd pettiness and really don’t want to support GRRM since he refuses to finish Ice and Fire
Dunk & Egg is a series of 3 self-contained short stories. They released a book that contains all 3. They're actually good, and I would recommend them.
Apparently, GRRM said that he had ideas for 10 more novellas, but those will probably never see the light of day, because he's a fat, lazy communist.
And he has the nerve to criticize Tolkien
