Really? A sequel to a TV show that finished before the book series it's based on concluded (and still hasn't)? What kind of Dragon Ball GT bullshit is this?

Bet we'll get this show long before George finishes Winds of Winter.

I guess you could do a limited series about him living beyond the wall but doesn't feel like there's much story potential for him. Arya on the other hand would be a cool sequel series.

I'll take DBGT over the latter half of Game of Thrones...

Got a particular reason for that? Other than the fact that GT has been firmly established as non-canon since 2013 and was always presumed to be?

Very much. If there was to be a spinoff, Arya seemed like the only one set up for that. Jon? He was going back to the Night's Watch. Now they have to write him out of that, messily.

I didn't really care about spin-offs by the end because the show was such a mess.

Arya was probably the best pick for a spin-off...as long as Maisie Williams had no creative input in it since she claims Arya was a lesbian the entire time. (Ugh, she showed interest in a male, Gendry........)

But I'm not surprised they went with Jonny Boy either. Can't wait for HBO to further desecrate the series. :)

Ain't it weird how nowadays the characters played by non-straight actors HAVE to be non-straight as well? Guess they're actually not that good at "acting" if they can only play roles that are exactly like they themselves...

Unless they've stated otherwise in recent times, some gay actors like George Takei and Neil Patrick Harris have spoken out against being typecasted as gay characters, and don't mind playing straight ones.

I actually didn't know Maisie Williams was non-straight, that's how little I care about their personal lives. :lol: I'm not surprised though.

Andrew NDB 06-17-2022 08:05 PM

An Arya AND Jon Snow show might be something.

Leo656 06-17-2022 08:06 PM

To be honest I don't think she ever "officially" came out, but I remember an interview with her at some point not all that long ago where she said something like "She didn't want to commit to being any one thing", something to that effect. Which means "I'm definitely not straight BUT I haven't yet figured out which specific flavor of 'not straight' is gonna win me the most ass-pats from Twitter, so for now I'm keeping it vague." Her saying that she assumed that her character was queer and in turn played her that way just clinches it.

Andrew NDB 06-17-2022 08:17 PM

Yeah, "queer." As in "I'm straight but don't want to be associated with being straight."

Leo656 06-17-2022 08:22 PM

Eh, she's kinda boy-ish. Not to be a dick but very few girls who look like boys are 100% straight, so she's gotta be a little bit "swishy" at the absolute least.

But yeah you're right, saying you're straight nowadays is more or less the same as saying you love Hitler, so yeah, can't say it out loud. I don't think she is straight, though.

Andrew NDB 06-17-2022 08:32 PM

"Queer" is also a virtue signaling thing. "You see? I am an ally!" and so on. Like putting your pronouns on your Twitter if you're a straight male or female and they're just normal pronouns.

Looks like she was dating one dude a year ago and now is dating a different dude in 2022. Looks like a long list of dudes, actually. No chicks.

George R.R. Martin comments on it. Says the working title is "Snow."
