    Any Game of Thrones Sequel would have to acknowledge Seasons 7 and 8… and I think that is just a really bad way to start a series

    Prequals are safer, you can pretend Season 7 and 8 never happened (yet)

        At least with a Star Wars prequels, you have the show The Clone Wars to help even things out a bit

          I was never a prequel hater, but honestly the Prequel trilogy is Shakespeare compared to the completely soulless, visionless Sequel Trilogy.

          The First Order is where I disengage and remember the legacy book lore fondly.

    “Harington was planning to return Westeros for a sequel series centered on Jon Snow, but he confirmed earlier this year that the project has been shelved.”

    Good. It would only be “lets squeeze the last bit of hype juice from GoT”

      The worse part is HotD is pretty solid. There are some missteps, but it’s overall pretty damn good.

      The biggest issue it has is actually something it does right. They replicated some of the slow burn and mystery that was why people loved Got, but in doing that it makes people think of Got… Which makes them think of how GoT ended…

      D&B really, truly, screwed soooo many people.

        It really is amazing how they managed to speedrun the chnge from a pop culture fenomenon into a forgotten thing that no one who watched it will ever want to rewatch

          It’s worse that forgotten, it’s regretted. It’s like a cringy childhood memory that comes rushing back to you in the middle of the night. They fucked up the ending so bad that not only were fans mad, they were embarrassed they ever liked the show to begin with. That’s a whole new level of bad.

      I don’t think there is any hype or good will left for GoT (HoD is a different story).
