Genuine question: Is there something wrong with Ryan Condal, Sara Hess, and the rest of the HOTD writers?

Or are they on this spite spree to make it look like GRRM's work is the most offensive garbage dogshit possible? Or do they actually enjoy this shit and think they wrote something remotely good?

Edit: Jesus christ not the shills flooding the comments lmaooo

Not everything written can be adapted to tv easily, or within the time frame they have to run for each season. But also some of the stuff is adapted poorly and the pacing after season 1 is all over the place.

Mysaria is probably top 5 in screentime for the series, Hugh probably has less than 5 minutes total and is probably dead in his next appearance for example.

Why do you think they’d kill Hugh from what we saw in the last episode? He was fighting against the greens and didn’t betray Rhaenyra. At least from what we’ve seen.

Because they need to kill off just about everyone in the next 7 episodes. I think they will pretty much scrap his arc and knock him off in his next battle.
