Winter King has an advantage over Game of Thrones.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Parallels are already being drawn between The Winter King and Game of Thrones, but the former has one advantage that HBO's fantasy saga famously lacked. The legend of King Arthur has been explored many times on the big and small screens, from 1981's fantasy epic Excalibur to BBC's Merlin.
Of course, being based on the legend of King Arthur means The Winter King already has certain beats the story must hit, but with the novels in place, the showrunners can avoid the issues that plagued later Game of Thrones seasons. More than that, there's even room for various expansions and spinoffs if the show proves to be a big success for MGM, with later seasons being able to explore tangents based on the original legend.
Sadly, this approach resulted in a truncated story that felt like it rushed to the end. Many of the big reveals felt like fan service, while beloved characters were killed seemingly just to streamline the narrative. More than anything, the lack of Martin's guiding hand exposed some of the flaws that were already an issue on Game of Thrones.
