Born on the same day that The Phantom Menace was released into theaters, you can say that Ryan was literally born with a love of fan culture. He graduated summa cum laude from a private college with a degree in Humanities and has a strong passion for writing, whether creatively or analytically.
The Big Picture With the success of House of the Dragon, it remains no surprise that HBO has been in a race to replicate its success with the next Game of Thrones spin-off. However, caution should be exercised when exploring which ideas to give the green light, as the studio risks creating an overabundance of material that dilutes the value of their greatest property and creates mediocrity fatigue among fans.
Game Of Thrones Nine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia. Future spin-offs need to balance how connected they remain to the original series and each other. This is undoubtedly a unique problem, but it is not an insurmountable one, as the volume of history indicates. Instead of focusing on characters we've already seen and whose stories are finished, we should be meeting new characters in a familiar world. There are plenty of potential stories that would accomplish this task, and they remain much more interesting than revisiting old concepts.
This is not to say those eras of history are not worth exploring. The upcoming animated series about Corlys Velaryon is a great example of how the fantasy world of Westeros can be expanded without great risk. Due to the status of Nine Voyages as a shorter miniseries, the issue of an incomplete story does not loom over the show like it does for many others and the use of animation could allow for greater use of fantasy concepts that the show sometimes lacks.
