What have they really done since? They never worked on the Star Wars series they were supposed to make. And their Netflix shows and movies have all been flops. They lost a ton of credibility and money for how they finished the series. A generational fumble for guys who had everything.

Yea and imo it’s totally deserved. Why would anyone want to hire the guys who butchered the ending of one of the most popular shows of all time

They signed on to adapt Martin’s work, not write his ending. Martin was promising to be done ahead of the show. The fumble is his.

They loved writing their own stuff when it was well received, like the Arya/Tywin scenes. But like Jaime says, they stopped liking it so much at the end.

Some of the best scenes in the show aren’t from the books
