Game Of Thrones
Game of Thronesmay have come to a ( disappointing ) terminal , but that does n’t mean that HBO is done with this universe - and the spinoffs have the luck to learn from the mistakes made by the original show . Multiple prequels are presently in development at the electronic connection , and for now it seems that the focal point is on going backwards in fourth dimension .
The first prequel to get a pilot order is presently titledBloodmoon , although this may be a working title . Previously adopt to be acquire under the titleThe Long Night , Bloodmoontakes topographic point around 8,000 years before the events ofGame of Thrones , set during the Age of Heroes and exploring the fall into the Long Night , when Westeros was consumed by ice and darkness .
Recently , reports come in that a 2d prequel was about to get the green light . This has no work championship , but it said to be set only 300 years before the events ofGame of Thrones , and is going to pore on thehistory of House Targaryen . While there is plenty of speculation about what particular part of the story will be handle , it ’s likely to be either Aegon ’s Conquest or the Dance of Dragons . Other prequels are also still in the ontogenesis phase , and whether all or none actually make it to the modest screen , it will be a chance for buff to revisit this world - and for HBO to learn from past error .
The Story Mistakes Game Of Thrones Made
While there ’s little uncertainty thatGame of Throneswas an incredibly pop series , there ’s also little doubt that many fans were less than thrilled about how it end . While the other season were beautifully written , the last seasons became progressively race , quaggy , and problematic . One of the biggest progeny here seems to be that the source material melt down out , asGeorge R.R. Martinhas not yet finished hisA Song Of Ice And Firesaga . Without the books to swear on , the complex plot line that fans loved dry out up , and were replaced by a importantly childlike tale .
Some lineament were simply killed off or abandon when there was nothing get out to do with them . Littlefinger get one of the most disappointing last of the series ( with somebelieving that he must have talk through one’s hat it , and would retrovert to the show before the end ) . Varys , despite being a main case for multiple season , was killed off with almost no flourish , and other characters seemed to just … go away . And while major persona deaths were really a good matter in the early season , when turn over enough weight ( the show just would n’t be the same without the shocking last of Ned Stark ! ) , by the end of the serial half the plaster cast seemed to be wearing hurriedly throw - together game armor .
In plus , the show had a few other problems from the beginning - not least of which was theportrayal of sexual violenceand the way that female role were developed . Brassica napus scenes were plentiful , and few of them really added much to the plot of land . In improver , many of the scenes of intimate violence focalise on the male reference and perpetrator , and in season 8 Sansa implied that she was glad she ’d been dishonour because it had made her stiff . While there ’s no question thatGame of Throneswas always going to be a serial plunge in violence , many of these scenery could have been care well .
Finally , many plotlines seemed to fizzle out by the end , or simply not get the attending that they deserve after seasons of build up . devotee were unimpressed when Arya , after years of training as a Faceless Man , get back to Westeros and stopped switch faces . The White Walkers and the sacrificed babies were vanquished in a individual fight , the dragons seemed suddenly incredibly easygoing to kill , the Direwolves were wildly underused , and even the battle for King ’s landing place seemed over far too quickly . All in all , as the show come on , it seemed to stimulate to the finishing line ( perhaps so that showrunners D&D could move on to novel things ) - andGame of Thronesdeserved better .
Game Of Thrones Prequels Can Fix Those Issues
Thankfully , the prequels wo n’t have many of these issues to get by with - and that ’s because George R.R. Martin has already written the story that will be explored . Fire and Bloodis the most detailed look at the history of Westeros , but it ’s far from the only extra committal to writing that Martin has done about the events lead up toGame of Thrones . The World Of Ice And Firecovers theentire history of Westeros(albeit in less point ) , including the characters , bloodlines , feuds , and battles . For prequels , therefore , writer will be adapting complete story , not having to work from the notes of a half - finished series . It ’s also potential that prequels will be designed to be a specific numeral of seasons from the starting , to tell the tarradiddle in the best - paced way .
While the issues of the stories themselves can be solved by more extensive ( and finished ) source fabric - what about the military issue of intimate violence ? While these are not quite so straight to fix , HBO will be aware of the way that fans feel about them , and hopefully make a sincere effort to exchange those from the start . Strong distaff characters have been promised(althoughGame of Thronescertainly had those , too ) , and the fact that they are being mentioned from the start suggests that the prequels will be more serious-minded about how the women are write . Dragons and Direwolves , too , were such major disappointments in the original series that a new series , learning from the old one , would hopefully set aside enough of the budget to do these mythical creatures justice .
A Game Of Thrones Sequel Could Also Avoid Past Mistakes
While a prequel seems to have the most likelihood of easy sidestepping the issuesGame of Throneshad , by cut into into the rich ( consummate ) story account Martin has created , that ’s not to say that a sequel would be incapable of learning from those mistakes as well . There are mint of options for spin - offs , and while anArya Stark seems to be the current fan - favourite , it is far from the only option .
Although a continuation would have fundamentally no source fabric to draw on , that may in reality be something that works out comfortably than only having half the level already write . WhereasGame of Throneshad to try and guess where Martin was going , and finish secret plan thread that he started , a subsequence could be written from scratch by people with a vision of how the whole thing would get along together .
Whether or not the prequels do deal to memorize fromGame of Thrones ' mistake remains to be consider , though - and any bookworm know that even the most elaborated germ cloth does n’t necessarily head to a perfect on - screen adaption . However , with a devoted fanbase and a mathematical function of where thing last amiss , it would seem hopeful for the young serial taking spot in this universe .
