George RR Martin warned the House of the Dragon crew years before the show ruined its own iconic moment and received serious backlash.
George RR Martin knew House of the Dragon's Writing would be messy
Game of Thrones used to be one of the biggest television shows in history, but it turned out to be a miserable disappointment as it reached its final season. But the show undeniably had some good parts that continue to remain famous, evoking shock, awe and endless debate even after all this time.
On the other hand, we have its prequel, House of the Dragon, which has so far failed to deliver its own defining moments. Instead of making history like Game of Thrones, it fumbled, especially because of its only plot line that George RR Martin had already predicted way back to showrunner Ryan Condal.
In the film world, it's pretty easy to mess up when it comes to projects based on universally recognized and beloved written material. Given the scale of written text and its ability to be as expansive as possible, shows like Game of Thrones are often criticized for not being faithful to the source material. It's a predicament that even GOT's prequel series House of the Dragon suffers from.
