The Supreme Dark Lord talks about storytelling, Game of Thrones, how typical Hollywood writing ruined what was left of the series.
For the record, Vox Day is not a fan of Martin or Martin's work; his own Selenoth series is his "blackjack and hookers" response to what he saw as inadequate writing. This livestream is a critique of the writing in the series now concluded, and contains his perspective that shows why Vox Day approaches the subject as he does. To no one's surprise, he sees the deficiencies of both Martin and the showrunners as being the basis for the narrative weaknesses of the series, with the latter being worse than the former.
I'm looking forward to seeing the man adapt his Selenoth series into film and television. If he gets his shot, it'll hit like Peter Jackson did with The Lord of the Rings, despite the certain hostile reception it will receive from all the usual suspects.
