Game Of Thrones prequel creators didn’t want another ‘bunch of white people’

https://www.insider.com/house-of-the...te-cast-2022-7

"House of the Dragon" is the first of many planned HBO "Game of Thrones" prequel series that will explore more corners and time periods of author George R.R. Martin's sprawling fictional universe of Westeros and Essos — and it will introduce the first major house comprised of Black characters.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, coshowrunner Ryan Condal explained this "reimagining" he and Miguel Sapochnik made to the original books.

"It was very important for Miguel and I to create a show that was not another bunch of white people on the screen," Condal told EW. "We wanted to find a way to put diversity in the show, but we didn't want to do it in a way that felt like it was an afterthought or, worse, tokenism."

House Velaryon features prominently in the political drama at the core of "House of the Dragon," which will tell the story of House Targaryen's fall from prominence after a civil war that left the family decimated about 200 years prior to Daenerys Targaryen's rise to power many generations later.

The Velaryon family came to Westeros from Valyria (in Essos) even before the Targaryens. They're helmed by Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen. For HBO's adaptation of Martin's Targaryen history book "Fire and Blood," actor Steve Toussaint was cast as Lord Corlys Velaryon.

As revealed in the EW article, the decision to show House Velaryon as the first Black family with significant power in Westeros came from Martin himself.

"According to Condal, Martin toyed early on with the idea of depicting the Velaryons as Black conquerors who came to Westeros from the west," EW reporter Nick Romano wrote.

Just another reason why I'm gonna waste my time especially after that last season. No time for wokeism anymore.

Is this supposed to be some kind of apology?

isn't there already pretty good representation in the books from the author himself. Dorne was Arab/Black and pretty sure a bunch of the cities to the East where filled with multiple ethnicities.
fictional account.
closer to the lung.

Thought GoT was one of the best shows ever made (season 1-6). Haven't watched a second of House of Dragons.

Miss me with that bull$hit.

This is a white liberal thing. They do this to act like they're solving world peace. No one cares about "representation" in these movies/tv, just GOOD stories.

This is all but guaranteed to hilariously backfire when the woke manage to conjure up a way black people are portrayed as racist and they didn't get a black person to write their lines.

Show seems forced. Won’t be watching because it won’t live up anywhere near what GOT was at the beginning of the series years back.

Will be watching LOTR series instead (Srs)

Yeah because black people are the primary audience of the fuking game of thrones universe right?

Also high fantasy setting has more roots in black culture/history more than white right?

Fuking retarded virtue signaling cucks, tired of this trash. **** like this is harming racial relations more than it does any good.

umm.. its a bunch of white people because white people made it and chose to use white people. Why the fuk should it matter and why is this something that should even be addressed. Honestly stupid as hell to even make the observation. Hollywood worries about representation to the point they think black people consist of 80% of the population. I'm happy to sit back and let them ruin everything at this point.

I used to think the phrase "get woke go broke" was actually true. I'm starting to think companies are actually making money on this crap. I can't imagine opening up a business and selling people **** they don't want and making a profit.

Truth. The most liberal people I know haven’t spent more then 10 minutes talking to a black person, they are the only ones who care about someone’s skin color.

Just look at that old dude sillie on here, his avi is of him and the first black women he’s ever met in real life.

And if you actually look at that profile pic, it's like those black women were being photobombed.

Behind wokeness stands white liberalism and behind white liberalism stand the Jewish operators of this country.



Perhaps White Americans, namely the White Evangelicals, will finally wake up.
