“Game of Thrones” is experiencing one of the sweetest moments in its history. Although the eighth and final season ended three years ago, the universe created in the novels “A Song of Ice and Fire” will be adapted many times thanks to all the series that HBO is developing. However, we still remember the controversy that sparked that last season of the series, where many fans ended up unhappy with some decisions made by the management. While we don’t know what caused this situation, it could be explained if we consider it George RR Martin hasn’t been very involved in the last few seasons of the series.
In an interview with the New York Times about the upcoming premiere of ‘The House of the Dragon’, Martin revealed that he was not very involved in the series finale: “In seasons 5 and 6, and of course 7 and 8, I was very far from the series”. As for why he disassociated himself from the project, the author did not want to get wet: “I don’t know. You should ask [los showrunners] DB Weiss and David Benioff “.
We do not know if due to differences with the directors of the series or because he had already thought about it from the beginning, Martin has stated that his ending in the books will be different from what we have seen on television.. After releasing “Dance of Dragons” in 2011, the writer spent 11 years preparing what will be his sixth novel, “Winds of Winter”. The writer announced on the website that not all surviving characters in “Game of Thrones” will also survive in his books.
We will be left with the question of what the end of the series would have been like if Martin had been much more involved in its development but, at least, we will be able to enjoy Westeros again with the first of “The house of the dragon” (spin-off, among other things, of which Martin is delighted) on HBO on August 21st.

Something very similar to what happened to George RR Martin with the ending of “Game of Thrones” happened to Peter Jackson, who was also ignored by the Amazon team during the development of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings. of power “. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Jackson revealed that the platform promised to send him the scripts for the series, but he didn’t respect it.
For its part, Amazon, which will premiere “The Rings of Power” on September 2, responded to the director of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy with a statement: “By pursuing the rights to our series, we were forced to keep the series separate and different from the movies.. We have the utmost respect for Peter Jackson and the “Lord of the Rings” movies and are thrilled that he is looking forward to “The Rings of Power”..
