There are a mountain of expectations around the newHouse of the Dragonseries from HBO Max , and nobody is more concerned thanGeorge R.R. Martinhimself . He has apparently beenmore active in this productionthan the originalGame of Thronesseries — and he was in particular exigent on three detail that , unfortunately , might not be included .
According toInsider , Martin need “ colorful dragon , an emphasis on bright heraldry , and the addition of King Jaehaerys Targaryen II . ” It seems Martin was really jonesing for a technicolor dragon dreamcoat , and he wanted to see the wolf in all shapes and size . The desire to see them colored more brightly is partly practical . The people reckon up at the dragons in the sky should “ know which Targaryen is flying above them found simply on the color of the firedrake ’s musical scale . ” We have n’t seen much of the dragons so far , but I do n’t think we ’ll be bewilder a lustrous blue one anytime soon . ( shiny heraldry , however , might be more easily attainable . )
As for Jaehaerys , Daenerys Targaryen ’s granddaddy , he was leave out of the original serial by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss when there was discussion of the diachronic Billie Jean King of the fictional Westeros . They did so for “ clarity ” but it was something that Martin did n’t fit with .
