they do perfectly fine when they are adapting existing material. it's when you ask them to write their own story that they can't handle it. the first four seasons of Game of Thrones were fucking exceptional. I have no idea how you turn this book into a movie though
It's a series AFAIK.
I do agree they did a solid job adapting things, and I would hope the collective slap from the failure that was the final seasons of Game of Thrones would humble them.
I'm not writing the series off completely, I'm just not willing to give it a shot until after a thorough review and clear ending.
Unlike Game of Thrones, the source material for this is finished. Game of Thrones went to shit once they ran out of source material.
Yeah I think you hit on the issue with your last sentence- a story that's so nonlinear, idea focused, and time-spanning, I don't trust them to adapt it and keep the nuance.
