What made GOT unique was the early impression that no one was safe… major characters died unexpectedly. That changed in the latter seasons where certain “favorites” gained plot armor. It devolved into standard TV formulae and lost its magic.
A prequel suffers from its beginning. There is a defined story to be told and characters who must survive.
Good luck.
Good point. But that's just one part of it. Everything about HOD sucks, except they might have cool costumes and make up. But you can see that at a Shakespeare play in London.
Oh come on. We all knew Sean Bean would die early LOL
YOLOS - You only live one season
