Not throwing shade on GoT as a work of fiction, mind, as long as people are aware that it’s solidly in the realm of fiction. Its popularity alone attests to its literary quality. A piece of fiction doesn’t need to be true to reality to be good (that’s the point of fiction, isn’t it?).
You do have to consider that the two unwritten books have the capability of affecting the previous books. Its hard to say that its a great series at this point in time, at least in my opinion. It definitely could be, I’m hoping someone with a better work ethic will take over when GRRM passes on.
I understand GRRM spawned a thing that got popular, but he is not a writer anyone should emulate. He’s one of the most unprofessional writers ive heard of, and thats been echoed by other well established writers.
Yeah, there are some good modern german writers but goethe or lessing are still historical relevant authors. Old authors get read or discussed in school to learn more about the time they lived in
Hamlet is a remake of and Old Norse legend Amleth.
Shakespeare wasn’t even that good of a writer. There are better writers, more modern ones, like Stephen King and George RR Martin.
Why would people downvote this?
We’re in shitposts. This is pure gold!
To support OP, the greatest movie came out already and it’s called Bad Boys 2 with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
George “Let’s ignore half of history, take a superficial misrepresentation of the other half, sprinkle some sexual violence and betrayal over it all, then let everyone claim it’s historically accurate” R.R. “The Dothraki were actually fashioned as an amalgam of racist stereotypes I didn’t bother doing even the least bit of research on, but will pretend were an actual historical inspiration” Martin?

Maybe could call it perpetual immaturity.
