Iron Throne

Art by: #MarcSimonetti © as approved by GRRM

"This is what the Iron Throne REALLY looks like!"

"The HBO throne has become iconic. And well it might. It's a terrific design, and it has served the show very well. There are replicas and paperweights of it in three different sizes. Everyone knows it. I love it. I have all those replicas right here, sitting on my shelves."

"And yet, and yet... it's still not right. It's not the Iron Throne I see when I'm working on THE WINDS OF WINTER. It's not the Iron Throne I want my readers to see. The way the throne is described in the books... HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep iron stairs in front, the high seat from which the king looks DOWN on everyone in the court... my throne is a hunched beast looming over the throne room, ugly and assymetric..."

"The HBO throne is none of those things. It's big, yes, but not nearly as big as the one described in the novels. And for good reason. We have a huge throne room set in Belfast, but not nearly huge enough to hold the Iron Throne as I painted it. For that we'd need something much bigger, more like the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey, and no set has that much room. The Book Version of the Iron Throne would not even fit through the doors of the Paint Hall." GRRM

This version of the Iron Throne is epic! (To say the least!) I love it! But I also think the HBO version is pretty damn awesome too!

SPOILERS ABOUND if you haven't seen the season 5 finale!

"George R.R. Martin is not a bad writer. He’s almost certainly not going to pull a deus ex machina to save [REDACTED] at the beginning of the next book, and the TV show will likely follow suit. And he’s especially not going to spring something out of nowhere when he’s produced Chekhov’s guns, like magical resurrection, in earlier books."

Right. Anyone who knows me well enough knows how much I hate deus ex machina bullshit. I am immediately turned off whenever any show or movie does this. It's a tool of piss-poor storytelling, it's cheap, and it's lame and annihilates any real sense of consequence in anything meaningful in the medium.

That being said, I'm thinking it will be some version of possibility #3 or #5. And I don't think it will be done in a DEM sort of way.
