Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones and John Blackthorne in Shogun
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shōgun episode 10 was the perfect finale to the show and proved it was never supposed to be the new Game of Thrones. From the moment Shōgun’s first trailer was released, comparisons between the FX miniseries and Game of Thrones became common. Interestingly, one of the Shōgun directors preferred to compare it with a different HBO show, Succession.
As a result of the initial Game of Thrones comparisons, many must have expected Shōgun to deliver major battles throughout the series, or at least in the finale. Shōgun Finale’s Lack Of Action Confirmed The Show’s Greatest Strength Shōgun didn’t need non-stop action to be great Shōgun’s universally praised episode 10 proves that the show did not need to change its tone for the finale. Even though it could be argued that the series was setting up a war between Toranaga and Ishido for the finale, seeing how the conflict was resolved from behind the scenes was a far more interesting approach for a show like Shōgun.
The idea of major players competing for power in an epic period drama also led to comparisons between Shōgun and Game of Thrones, the former of which was much closer to real-life events than the latter. While George R.R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire obviously draws a lot from the sociopolitical context of 15th-century Europe, the saga heavily leaned on fantastical elements, from dragons to undead creatures.
