The problem isn't the plot that he still has to write and more that his story so far is a giant clusterfuck of people being scattered over several continents and he has to tie all that somehow back together into a coherent plot.
I've never worked at McDonald's before, but if I order a Big Mac and it takes them six hours to make it, I'm not going to make faggy excuses to justify their laziness.
The original series was planned to be 3 books and included a Jon/Arya/Tyrion love triangle. Kinky. It then went to 5 books with an in-story five year gap, and now 7 with the gap abandoned.
Bringing in Sanderson became such a meme that someone asked him about it in a reddit AMA. He basically said he thinks George is an edgy nihilistic pervert and he wouldn't feel comfortable writing in the style he'd need to to wrap up ASOIAF.
Ya know I think i have mentioned this before but it probably bears repeating, but I have a hunch that ol' fartin-martin either finished or was very close to finishing back round about 2013-2015 but the onset of currentyear gave him cold feet due to the fact he is shoulder deep up the taint of the "respectable" fantasy/sci-fi clique in media and publishing who have been some of the most backstabbing tryhard snakes in the entire wokesped catalogue, so he has either been endlessly reworking it to suit the ever changing demands of the diversity and inclusivity and sensitivity retards or is just waiting until currentyear ends so he can publish the rape filled edgelord teen fodder he wants to without being blackballed out the proverbial country club
He's already admitted he's rewriting some of the preview chapters (and it's almost certainly Mercy, even the non-wokespeds thought it was pretty gross for 12 year old Arya to be seducing Raff the sweetling), so that's not completely implausible.
Never again without anesthesia
Worst thing about it is that there's swords on the floor that make it look like a rubber carpet. I mean, it is a rubber carpet, but the effects guys usually make sure you can't tell.
This looks awful..also judging by the way they structured the trailer with the BOOM BOOM BOOM (GET EXCITED CONSOOMERS!)..I'm doubtful this series will have what made seasons 1-4 fantastic/memorable which is why GoT got such a large following in the first place. Even in the comments people are bemoaning 'Season 8'...Bitch Season 8? Season 7 was equally as terrible and unless you're talking about how Season 5 jumped the shark and Season 6 became 'yes queen slay' idk.
They should have just made it book accurate. Judging by the throne alone they are making something terrible.
One thing that drew in a number of views was nudity. I don't see that happening in this new project. If there is nudity, it'll be an obese fat troon or something equally horrid to discourage viewership.
