I’m sure most people here would agree that cancelling Game of Thrones once they ran out of source material and waiting for the books to be done (lol) would have been preferable to what we got.
GoT would have exited the cultural zeitgeist a lot sooner than it did, probably to the detriment of future viewer engagement and thus a source of revenue for HBO, which is why they pushed it forward, but still…
The annoying thing is, watching House of the Dragon now, it didn’t have to be that bad, clearly they can do good stuff with minimal source material, but the GoT writers didn’t have it in them.

Or at least wait for enough coherent fan theories and just use them.

GoT should have just never happened in the first place, and we should have gotten 5 more seasons of Rome instead.
