[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55872, member: 1"] George R.R. Martin hopes to see The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power succeed – but he very much wants the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, to do better. Speaking to [URL='http://feeds.feedburner.com/ign/I know a lot of articles, the minute the dates were announced, it’s: ‘Oh, the battle for fantasy supremacy. It’s Rings of Power versus House of Dragon, who will win?’ I don’t know why they always have to do that.”']The Independent[/URL] Martin said he doesn't like how people are pitting the shows against each other - with [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/game-of-thrones-prequel-series-house-of-the-dragon-premiere-date-revealed']House of the Dragon being released on August 21[/URL] and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/lord-of-the-rings-amazon-series-release-date-2022-images']Rings of Power on September 2[/URL] - but he's competitive enough to want his show to outdo the other. "The minute the dates were announced, it’s 'oh, the battle for fantasy supremacy. It’s Rings of Power versus House of [the] Dragon, who will win?,'" Martin said. "I don’t know why they always have to do that." "I hope both shows succeed. I'm competitive enough; I hope we succeed more," he added. "If they win six Emmys, and I hope they do, I hope we win seven. But nonetheless, it's good for fantasy. I love fantasy. I love science fiction. I want more shows on television." Competition or not, the shows releasing close together certainly mark an exciting time for fantasy fans, with Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones arguably being the two biggest fantasy stories of the modern age.
