Game of Thrones author reveals he ‘argued against’ a character being removed entirely, saying other planned changes will result in ‘larger and more toxic’ complications
George RR Martin has criticised the second season of House of the Dragon over changes to his plot that he says he “argued against” due to a butterfly effect, warning: “There are larger and more toxic butterflies to come.”
Martin, the author of the bestselling Game of Thrones books and the prequel Fire & Blood, on which House of the Dragon is based, has previously been very positive about the second season of the HBO drama, describing the first two episodes as “powerful, emotional, gut-wrenching, heart rending. Just the sort of thing I like.” However, last week, Martin wrote on his website’s blog that he would soon share “everything that’s gone wrong” on the adaptation.
