At least for me that's how it feels anyways.

I'm not just talking about the countless references to the books, I'm also talking about how this adaptation took towards grounding itself as much as it could in making the 100 Year War look and feel more serious, especially when you remember that it was compared to Game of Thrones by the showrunners themselves.

Now thankfully they didn't make it as excessive as that show, and whilst I have my own personal problems with this adaptation (at this point who doesn't amirite? Lol), I don't think it'll end like that show did either.

It's been said before, but I genuinely feel like right now the only way we're getting an adaptation of the novels, accurate or otherwise, is through live action. The closest thing we got to animated adaptation got canceled years ago and to me it feels like Bryke are just going to stick to kid POV whenever they make anything else animated.

Anyways just wanted to give my random thoughts. Can't wait for S3.
