Better storyline, characters, action.

Loved the Lord of the Rings and The hobbit but ROP just doesn't come near to them, the characters are dull and bland, the story is way too slow moving. Visually it's great but it seems like they threw everything at making it look good and forgot about the rest. There was no real tense or edge of your seat moments like there was in HOTD

Fair enough on most of it.

I've got to be honest though I disagree with you about the plot, ROP has the mystery of who is Sauron where as HOTD just seems to be about who's knocking up who.

I mean, "Game of Thrones" the clue is in the name, that's what it's always been about a fight to claim the throne, it never pretended to be anything else? I know what LOTRs/The Hobbit are about and it's completely different, as I said in my other post I loved both those series, the issue is ROP has done a piss poor job to make it interesting compared to those and is DULL compared to HOTD

I think the difference that I'm trying to say is that GOT had more going on than just who's gonna marry who, from the pilot alone we had the Whitewalkers being established, Daenerys and Viserys being on the other side of the world in hiding from the people from Westeros and slowly gather an army to take Kings Landing back, Bran being shoved out of a window after discovering Incest between Jaime & Cersei (which I remember they had to keep it a secret) but for some reason HOTD acts like incest is the vogue thing to do. And I remember there were just more interesting dynamics being formed in the first few episodes of GOT.

I don't think even in Season 8 would I say that GOT was uneventful.

Edit... I'd also say that GOT had really sharp dialogue that most newer Shows really lack imo.

Yes but Game of Thrones was a much wider scale book series/show, HOTD is literally about one family, a family we got to know briefly from GOTs and a lot of people wanted to see a bit more of their history etc they'd pretty much been completely wiped out by the end of GOTs

I get that to some extent.

Imo though a Show based in the GOT universe needs more going on than who's gonna marry who, because the franchise has set a certain standard after 8 Seasons of the original Show that more bigger scale plots are meant to happen.

Spin-Offs should experiment to an extent, but imo weakening the plot to the point that HOTD has is disappointing imo, it's like when Caprica came out as the spin-off to Battlestar Galactica all over again for me.
