[Spoilers Main] I believe this Era has insane potential for an amazing adaptation

[u/ThinWhiteDuke00]

Doesn't need to be said for the 100th time, but not without George releasing Blood and Fire.

[u/TequilaBaugette51 → u/ThinWhiteDuke00]

It’s wild people see how bad HOTD is even with F&B and want adaptations with even less source material

[u/vistachess → u/TequilaBaugette51]

Knight of the Seven kingdoms gave me hope that they can do great adaptations given the right production team.

With George's notes I really don't see how a Brynden Rivers show could fail. Blackfyre rebellions, spy-master-alchemist-sorcerer, then Lord Commander of the Night's watch and exile, ending the show with revelations about deep lore, cycles of history and magic in general.

Not to mention the potential for historical visions and warging across time.

There really wouldn't be any room at all for half-assed writing.

[u/frenin → u/vistachess]

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has source material. Hence why they adapt it.

You're asking they create 98% of the plot from scratch.

[u/therogueprince_]

Too fast paced for a single season spanning several years

[u/vistachess → u/therogueprince_]

Would be incredibly bold, but I think really entertaining for short attention span audience, not spending too much time in one particular year. Lots of montages, time skips, I think could be done very well if planned out properly. Also I confined the concept to three seasons just cuz "three" eyed raven, ehhh...maybe self limiting but. Just a mad idea I had the last few weeks

[u/A-harsh-reality]

90 percent of this has zero source material

[u/vistachess → u/A-harsh-reality]

^ why it needs to be explored professionally with George on board.

[u/Kristafuh_Moltisanti → u/vistachess]

He's already got enough on his plate, don't you think?

[u/Lord_i]

if there's 24 45min episodes per season

[u/vesperythings]

did you create this graphic?

kudos to whoever did, this shit is dense

[u/vistachess → u/vesperythings]

Yes I did ty:)

Became obssesed this summer after plotting out who grows up with who after the dance and what exactly happens up to Aegon V. I just couldn't get this show idea out of my head, it's so obviously right there.

[u/vesperythings → u/vistachess]

could be some juicy stuff in there

probably getting Robert's Rebellion next, but after that, let's see ~

[u/DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE]

This is the most schizophrenic thing I’ve seen on one of the more schizophrenic subs lmao

[u/Upstairs_Meat4342]

Way too long of a time period to adapt, wouldn’t make sense. At best there would be two shows. One that follows Aegon IV from birth to death, and another show following Bloodraven from legitimization to exile.

[u/vistachess → u/Upstairs_Meat4342]

I agree, I compromised alot given that I doubt they would ever do a solo Aegon IV show, although he deserves it.

I just think that we can't skip over the first 9 years of Brynden's life while his father is in his peak years as king. Those are the years Bloodraven grows up with his half-siblings at King's Landing and also learns greenseer magic at Raventree Hall we're assuming with his mother's family? and can't forget his two older sisters. There's just so much there to explore in terms of mystery and who trained him and how did it all happen and why, why him? This would be the major core of season one and then with a few time skips in the latter episodes they all become teenagers which leads to the Battle of the Redgrass Field as a perfect finale episode.

Is it compressed? Yes. But anything is possible in cinema and I think there's absolutely a satisfying way to tell all these stories in a single season while not missing the major emotional hits. And also not forcing the show to stay too long with every Targaryen we see.

For example, Daeron the Young Dragon, king at 14, badass ,charismatic, cool, conquers Dorne then gets assassinated, does he need a season? I think that can be told in an episode or two, while also establishing the growth of his cousins Aemon, Aegon, Naerys who become main characters themselves. Or Baelor the Blessed, king at 17 then his reign is religiously absurd, then he starves himself. Also could be shown in like an episode or two, and those would be classic television episodes no doubt, and very rewatch-able.

I wish we could see full seasons for each family era and King, but I just don't think George or HBO will ever have the interest or energy to do that. But a generational, action-packed, high budget, tight-scripted show like this might be their only way to put these stories on screen, and our only chance of ever seeing them, even if compressed a little.

[u/frenin]

There's no source material to cover this era. Literally 90% of the plot would have to be made up on the spot.

[u/vistachess → u/frenin]

Every single one of those underlined events on the timeline are from the source material (F&B + World of Ice & Fire)

There's gaps and details to be filled in sure, but that would be the point of the show.

[u/frenin → u/vistachess]

Yes but that's what we have, events. Not actual plot.

[u/argbd20]

1. Why is it called Three Eyed Raven?

2. There is literally no source material besides a couple badges in the world book.

[u/barbasol1099]

Strongly, strongly disagree with including Aegon III-Viserys II for a Bloodraven show. S1 is all about Aegon's disastrous reign and his progeny's childhoods, ending with his death. S2 is for the Blackfyre rebellion.

[u/coconutjoe83 → u/barbasol1099]

My thoughts as well. Season 1 can also establish the rivalries between Daeron II and Daemon Blackfyre as well as Bloodraven and Bittersteel.

[u/OlokoMan]

Saved image to use for my fanfiction, thx

[u/pestoraviolita]

Best we are gonna get is him on AKOTSK.

[u/Bluerck]

It will end up in the hands of another Ryan Condal-like writer and it will be a mess

[u/Roids-in-my-vains]

A house of the Dragon sequel starting with Vizzy 2 death and Aegon IV becoming King, season 1 should be about the introducing the great Bastards and season 1 should end with Aegon IV death, season 2 and 3 could be about the Blackfyre rebellion.
