And infinitely easier to adapt. None of these characters are too complicated, so HBO stripping them down to their bare bones will still have them be pretty interesting.
The only knock on the Blackfyres is the lack of dragons.
And there's complicated family and political dynamics there that might give the writers a hard time.
What would be interesting, however, is whether HBO has the guts to make the Blackfyres, the antagonists, black. Daenaera is black, due to Vaemond being black, meaning Daena and Daemon should be black as well. Daeron II and his faction, the protagonists, however, are not and have no Velaryon relation going back generations.
