I stumbled upon this video and couldn’t scroll past—George R.R. Martin just shattered the foundation of Game of Thrones lore. He openly said “the ending wasn’t mine”, leaving fans reeling. As he reflects on the HBO finale vs. his ongoing books, we’re finally getting a glimpse of what might’ve been in Westeros.

He confirms The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring are still on the way, and while some elements may align, others will diverge drastically. One comment nailed it: “George casually saying ‘that wasn't my ending’ is like Da Vinci looking at a toddler’s crayon Mona Lisa.” The video explores how the TV ending was shaped by studio timelines, and why Martin’s literary version may rewrite the legacy.

If you’ve ever questioned Bran’s coronation or mourned rushed character arcs, you’ll want to hear what George really intended.
Watch the full video and tell me—does the show’s ending still count for you?

The real final boss of Game of Thrones was HBO’s production schedule.
