Amusingly enough the spoiler thread isn't even the worst GOT one in TV/IV, that honor belongs to the babby thread where some of them defended the night's watch mutiny and where they got really mad at A Glistening Hodor for posting about lemon cakes.

Minor correction: they were upset that I supposedly SPOILED THEM with the SIGNIFICANCE of lemoncakes.

Zoux bitching about Bad Thread posters posting in the Spoiler thread is particularly egregious because he never shuts the gently caress up in the babby thread

The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

And yet out of all three threads, only one has the pedigree, nay, the undoubtable DNA to carry on a fine series of legal parody works, out now on Amazon and all fine online book retailers.

Although, honestly, I'd read a book about the TVIV Walking Dead goons. Like a raw, uncensored case study of them.

Or maybe a Ken Burns documentary about goons who are unnaturally averse to reading about a subject they're fascinated with, unless their sole source of information is people who are admittedly just as clueless on the topic, in which case they'll spend YEARS talking about not reading about what they want to know about.

Nah, man, this is just going to turn out like loving Dune, with clones of every good character running around at random. Viserys and Drogo, why not? Ned, Benjen, and Brandon? gently caress yeah, let's get the Starkuto Brothers fighting in the post-apocalypse against the seven southern stars! Hell, while we're here, let's resurrect Tywin but make him Dornish at random.

I think this would actually be a good way for him to "Wrap up" this series. I've been thinking for a while, "how do you wrap up this cluster gently caress", and I've decided that the correct answer is, "you don't". Much in the vein of WH40k, there is only war. What he could do is not tell a story of who "wins" the game of thrones, but focus instead on how The Game is all there is.

The purpose of these novels isn't to tell a story, its to tell a BACKSTORY. it is to explain to you WHY there is an 8 foot tall zombie, stitched together from the parts of an evil warrior, but with the face of a fallen hero. It is to explain WHY the ice spiders and wights battering the wall from the south are being led by a frozen princess with a penchant for Lemon Cakes. It is to explain WHY this undead warrior stands at the front of his Northmen, broken arrows still protruding from his chest, a smile on his shaggy wolfen head.

These novels are to take us from a flatland of low magic, to a loving pinnacle of out of control magic. He is flipping the Trope again - magic isn't "dying and leaving this world" ala Tolkein - shiiiiiiit. Magic hasn't even gotten its loving shoes and socks on yet. Magic has a busy day in front of it, with fire gods, old gods, tree gods, 7 gods, some Valyrian gods, and a Cthulu like God of the loving deep with a tentacled cock all fighting for control of this shitheap world.

As someone with a history in both TV and Gaming and being a lazy gently caress - he is just so much better at writing the set up, creating the tension... writing the poignant ending? Not so much.

I would LOVE to see this series end with the forces reshuffled in a way we couldn't have imagined from the start - the stark kids all turned against each other, The remnants of Dany's shattered dragon army struggling to rebuild in Oldtown, factions and factions, each perfectly balanced against each other like a board game, ready for the "real" war to begin.

His publisher gets to spend the next 20 years farming out sections of the war to different hack writers, and making GBS threads merchandise left and right.

Eventually the Starks become the white walkers and the "Winter is Coming" phrase takes on a slightly more sinister meaning. The Greyjoys become the new Targaryens, trying to resurrect krakens so that they may regain what was once theirs. And the rest turn to incest, the end.

Maybe, I think "the dragon has three heads" is really leaning towards Dany, Jon, and Tyrion each riding a dragon. All three dragons warged by Bran.
