Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin really isn't a fan of writers altering the source material for🍬 adaptations.
"Television and film are ultimately collaborative," he said during an event with author Joe Abercrombie. "You always have the director and the actors and of course the studio will have executives, theyౠ will give notes and all that, and you have to deal with all that, which some peopleꩵ do better than others.
"The hard part about co𒐪llaborating is not so much them, but, I find – speaking only for myself here, not for Joe – is dealing with the🧔 other writers," he continued. "They're adapting your book or your story, and they hire someone else to do it, and there's a phrase that they empower this writer to – okay, take The Great Gatsby, but make it your own. And I don't want anyone to make The Great Gatsby their own."
He added: "I think I💝 may be a minority in this case here that other people don't mind that and all. But I don't think in most of the cases where a Hollywood screenwriter makes something their own that they improve it. I think [in] the majority of cases it's the opposit꧑e."

Of course, this isn't the first time Martin has said something similar. In a now-deleted post on his Not a Blog page, Martin took aim against chang༒es to his Fire and Blood book for HBO's adaptation House of the Dragon, describing a butterfly effect that would only get worse: "There are larger and more toxic butterflies to come, if House of the Dragon goes ahead with 🏅some of the changes being contemplated for seasons🐎 3 and 4…"
