I know some of you guys will blame Hollywood relentless effort to bring diversity to the entertainment industry. But I really think the major problem with Hollywood is the writers. I just watched House of the Dragon season 2 premiere and they undermined one of the most anticipated moment in the book, Fire & Blood, on which the show is based on. (Spoiler Alert!)
I didn’t read the book but my nephew read it and told me what happened. In the book when the assassins, Blood and Cheese, go and kills the king and queen’s son, they come across two sons. They then tell the queen to choose which one she wanted to have them kill. And if she doesn’t pick one, then they’ll kill all three of them (king wasn’t present). So she picks the youngest one to get killed but the assassins killed the other one. They then tells the surviving son that his mother wanted him to die. What a mindfuck!
But what does the writers do in the show? They eliminated the whole part of the queen having to decide which one should die and then the assassins telling the surviving son that his mom wanted him to die. How and why would you want to not have that part in the show!? So disappointing!
