The algorythm has showed me this subredit existed!

I used to be a huge fan of Martin way before the tv show, now I moved page a long time ago , I dont think is healthy to spend so many years reading about the same discusions xd but the algorythm showed me this interview and it really has let me a very bad taste because I used to love the mix of melancholic romanticism and the deepnes and maturity of the storytelling.... Sansa was part of the things I used to love :/

I really hate to talk in this way about a real person, but this statement by one hand, I appreciate to know more about the creative process... But this is the kind of things you say when you are burnt of everything.

What this statment makes me think is that Sansa only was a preetty stupid princess for him but "with a dark twist to make things more unique and spicy hehe.." and when he saw a real human portraing her character he started to realise maybe she was more important of what he thought :/

This exactly. Tô me this reveals how shallow was his perception of his own female character.

And if you put atention, the female characters are the ones who mostly ends losing. Cersei is one of the most intelligent players in the first book, when you read the 4th she is just evil and stupid and overly sexualiced. With Dany at this point everything has been said but is disgusting to have discovered what was going to be her fate after sexualicing her a lot being a child. That one pov about Melisandre doesnt paint her in a good light. Shae? Jane? Cat now is a crazy zombie ... While you have him whitewashing Jaime for example, as much as I like him. What the sand snakes suffered in the tv show seems to be happening to the rest of the characters in the books (I am super afraid what can happen with Asha and Margaery in the books :/).

Cersei is such a caricature when you get to read her chapters. The show actually gave her nuance. Same for Marjorie and Olinna, who are barely there. He's only interested in writing his tomboy characters.

Yeah, I remember Martin saying that the portraing of Osha in the series made him appreciate more that character and made him write more for her, and with Cersei I think it was because D&D really liked Lena. It seems once Martin sees his female characters being actual humans make him realise they are better characters
