Martin was just going to “polish and expand the history a little, maybe fill in any holes” about various kings and battles. But he was having so much fun that those little additions ended up running to 350,000 words. “We had totally destroyed the entire concept of this book,” says Martin.
For now, it works. The traditional ratings aren't stellar, the streaming numbers are undisclosed but reputed to be much higher, and the digital sales are apparently really great. The show keeps getting more and more media exposure. The show is getting a third season with still 13 episodes, so no sign of budget cuts.
Game of Thrones has become more popular and expensive every year. Each new episode has reportedly cost more than $10m, from $6m in 2012. It is worth it for HBO: the show picked up a record 12 Emmy
Mark my words, these spoilt little cunts will never give a damn about the show even if George RR Martin did publish his last books. They didn't give a shit about the fans and George, by "subverting expectations", so don't expect them to entirely change this mentality all of a sudden when George does finish the books.
The author, with a vivid and unorthodox imagination George RR Martin’s net worth is $120 million. George RR Martin is a popular American novelist, screenwriter, television producer, and short story writer.
Well the point of my post was to point out similarities and inspirations, not direct parallels. The Ironborn resemble Vikings for sure. But from a 20th CE view of History Vikings are much more distinct than other Nordic peoples, and so have gained their own kingdom in ASOIAF.
