Agree, though I think LOTR made fantasy enough of a moneymaker to make GOT not such a moonshot as these other genre kickoffs.

- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoEven in season one, before all of the actors could demand huge salaries - GOT had to have been an expensive show. Limited special effects (initially), but so many characters, in so different locations. The series is still not even fully written yet! Feels like a riskier play vs any number of fully formed fantasy settings.
