George RR Martin has criticised the second season of House of the Dragon over changes to his plot that he says he “argued against” due to a butterfly effect, warning: “There are larger and more toxic butterflies to come.”
Martin, the author of the bestselling Game of Thrones books and the prequel Fire & Blood, on which House of the Dragon is based, has previously been very positive about the second season of the HBO drama, describing the first two episodes as “powerful, emotional, gut-wrenching, heart rending. Just the sort of thing I like.” However, last week, Martin wrote on his website’s blog that he would soon share “everything that’s gone wrong” on the adaptation.
