Author George R. R. Martin Game of Thrones Novels and Fire and blood Spinoff of the HBO series Dragon’s House It’s based on, and we’ve talked a lot about the major changes that have been made to the show. September 4, Martin Posted on his blog Titled “Beware the Butterfly,” the film details his dissatisfaction with a specific scene in Season 2. Hot D. However, shortly after posting the post, Martin deleted it entirely.
Based on the post, You can read it in archived form here.Martin took serious issue with that approach. Dragon’s House The showrunner changed a moment that was well-known among fans. Fire and blood With “blood and cheese” On the showQueen Helena is approached by two intruders in her castle, who demand that she point out which of her two young children is a boy, ostensibly so that they can kill the heir to the Iron Throne. She gives them the necklace in a trembling voice, but when they continue, she points to her son, Jaeharys, and the intruders quickly kill him.

In the novels, Helena actually has three children named Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor (Maelor does not appear in the show, though Martin claims in a now-deleted blog post that he heard he will appear in season 3). When Blood and Cheese (as he is known in the novels) invade, Helena offers her own life first, then reluctantly points out the youngest, Maelor, for the killers to kill. However, the invaders realize that she is avoiding pointing out Jaehaerys, who is next in line for the throne, and kill him anyway, with Cheese whispering to Maelor that his mother chose to kill him before he could leave the castle.
Martin argued with showrunner Ryan Condal about the change, but it didn’t last long and there weren’t any “heated arguments,” he said, adding that Condal gave him enough reassurance that he could make the change. “[He]seemed to have a pragmatic reason for it: They specifically didn’t want to cast a 2-year-old,” Martin wrote. “Kids that young would inevitably slow down the production and affect the budget, which was already an issue. Dragon’s HouseIt made sense to save as much money as possible. Plus, Ryan convinced me that we weren’t losing Prince Maylor, we were just delaying him. Queen Helena could have him in season 3, she probably had the baby later in season 2. That made sense to me, so I dropped my objection and agreed to the change.”
While Martin ultimately “still (loved)” the episode despite the changes, he took much bigger issue with the decision to remove Maelor entirely, writing, “There were major changes between the initial decision to remove Maelor and the original decision. The prince’s birth was no longer pushed back to season three. He was never going to be born. Aegon and Helaena’s young son was never going to appear.”
He then mentions the “butterfly effect,” the philosophical concept that something as small as the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings can have a major impact on seemingly unrelated things over time. Martin then warns readers about spoilers, saying, “If you’ve never read it, Fire and blood Probably not. The only things I’m going to ‘spoil’ here are things that happen in the books that will never happen in the series.” From now on, the main story development of the novel will be revealed, so be careful as there are spoilers.
~ inside Fire and bloodHelena commits suicide shortly after Prince Maelor’s death. She was beloved by the common people, so when rumors spread that her killer was Queen Raynira (who had taken over King’s Landing by this point), instead of Helena jumping out of the Red Keep window, the people of King’s Landing take to the streets, demanding justice for their beloved ruler. “This is the beginning of the end of Raynira’s rule over the city, which ultimately leads to the assault on the Dragonpit, the rise of Shepherd’s Pack, and Raynira’s departure from the city and return to Dragonstone… and her death,” Martin writes.

He continued, “Maelor in and of himself is of little significance. He is a child, has no dialogue, does nothing significant and dies… but where, when and how do It’s important. The loss of Maelor weakens the ending of the Blood and Cheese sequence… it weakens Helaena’s motivation for suicide, and as a result, thousands take to the streets and alleys to demand justice for their ‘murdered’ queen. None of it seems necessary… but it all serves a purpose, and helps tie the storyline together, one leading to the other in a logical and compelling way.”
Martin ends his post ominously with a warning that “bigger, more venomous butterflies are coming.” Dragon’s House We’re continuing to work on some changes we’re considering for Seasons 3 and 4…”
It’s funny that Martin has never complained publicly about the ending. Game of ThronesNot only is it different from his original work, it creates a completely new storyline, since he hasn’t finished his main novel yet. And it makes it even funnier that he would post such a harsh review. I think this series is being adapted in the right way.. But perhaps Martin, like many of us online, tweeted and deleted it after getting some clarity. We’ll see.
