We have a separate thread for House of the Dragon now, just in case people were going to watch
Even if you want to say him going North of the Wall is where he'll end up being aat the end of the books, the fact that the show treated his resurrection so stupidly and carelessly, it makes his character afterwards feel hollow. He's almost certain that he's going to live in Ghost for some amount of time and there's no guarantee that he's going to return to his body even....why??
Also, is he he now seasoned and experienced enough to wear a hat in the snow?
I'm not too worried though. I have a strong gut feeling that House of Dragon flops, and after that HBO seizes production on the whole GoT-verse.
I mean, I hope they do good with the franchise. What we've heard just doesn't sound promising.
More major threatsHearing about this, I'm of two minds - with no major threats, they can focus more on the character interactions, which is where I feel the show was at it's best. That said, Jon wasn't the best political player, so where could they really go with this?
The speculation I've seen was the Others in Essos. We know The Long Night is a global thing, and structures like The Five Forts in Golden Empire of Yi Ti seemed to serve a similar function that The Wall did in Essos.Hearing about this, I'm of two minds - with no major threats, they can focus more on the character interactions, which is where I feel the show was at it's best.

Will it? It has potential to be a good spectacle and everything, but the conquest itself is so one-sided. Plus they'll shoe-horn the TV-only prophecy thing in and it might result in more potential nuance being removed from the characterization. It goes from a story about grey conquerors to a story about conquerors who want to save the world even though there's a shitload of plotholes if that's the case, like why wouldn't he have fortified the North more?This would make a great mini series.
