I'd like to ask Mr. Martin to stop ruining fantasy for people who actually like the genre (or at the very least add more meaningful fucking melanin already)
Ever since GoT was likened to "Fantasy for people who would rather be watching the Sopranos" I've never been able to unsee it
I guess that applies to the show, but honestly I strongly prefer the depth of character writing present in ASOIAF to any more classic fantasy stories that Ive engaged with. And I admit, the things i like about ASOIAF are not the fantasy elements. Its barely a fantasy story to me. Like yeah there's dragons and ice zombies but to me thats not the point its just set dressing.
Agreed about the melanin though. And I totally get how classic fantasy fans would be frustrated by the show at least.
