David Benioff and D.B. Weiss told a panel at the Austin Film Festival why they removed the fantasy elements from the HBO show.
. With episodes averaging under 40 minutes, HBO demanded that they add another 100 minutes to the season. Apparently, the Season One scene between Robert and Cersei was a result of this push—and it made Benioff and Weiss realize that they had neglected to write a single scene for the couple.
In perhaps their most tone-deaf remarks of all, the writers reportedly said they stripped the source material of some of its most overtly fantastical elements because they"didn’t just want to appeal to that type of fan.” They wanted to attract an audience broader than the fantasy fans, in order to include “mothers” and “NFL players”—as if members of those demographics can’t like pure fantasy.
Dan wanted to remove as many fantasy elements as possible bc “we didn’t just want to appeal to that type of fan.” They wanted to expand the fan base to people beyond the fantasy fan base to “mothers, NFL players”...world. They’re apparently working on at least onefilm, and have signed a $250 million dollar deal with Netflix. So this panel must have been super reassuring for Disney and the streaming site.
