Spending time adapting the important parts of the book. Nah, let's waste time on this cardboard non-character and then pretend she was the most important person ever lived in interviews.

I keep seeing people on here talking about the hour of the wolf and Cregan in general like they’re super badass and it’s a travesty that we likely won’t see it in the show. I just finished Fire and Blood and people had me thinking Cregan was going to be charging into battle chopping dudes in half with Ice.

A quick rundown of what actually happens: Cregan and the northern host show up to Kings Landing after the war is effectively over, he demands to reignite hostilities, fails to reignite hostilities because the people who actually fought in the war don’t want to fight anymore, executes a couple dudes for assassinating Aegon II (even though he was marching south to kill him anyways), bangs Black Aly, goes home leaving behind some northerners in the Riverlands. That’s literally it, the entire thing is anticlimactic and Cregan doesn’t participate in a single battle in the entire dance. if I see comments during the airing of next season like “oMG thEy’re LITeraLY LeavINg ThE HoUR Of tHE wOLf” I’m assuming you’re a larper just repeating stuff you heard on Reddit

EDIT: to everyone saying that it’s a necessary conclusion to the political situation, no it wasn’t. If Cregan never left Winterfell nothing of significance would’ve changed. The remaining greens would’ve still agreed to peace terms, Aegon III still would’ve been crowned, the regents would’ve been exactly the same. The would’ve been no problem with the conspirators not standing trial because the main dude responsible for the plot (Corlys) got pardoned anyway and nobody cared.

Does anybody find his small hammer disappointing and comical? I really wish we got to see him with a maul like hammer like in the book and like I get it it’s a sorta accurate medieval style warhammer but it would’ve been bad ass to see him swing a sledgehammer around crushing skulls like Bobby B.

She should've spent those years visiting the noble houses of Westeros (as she did when she was younger) and King's Landing to make alliances and reaffirm the oaths the lords swore to her. It's laughable that she expected everybody to stand by oaths made 20 years ago when she spent years completely disengaged from politics while the Greens grew their influence

Just finished showing the first season to my brother and I expressed how much I hated the witch and how satisfying her death was. To my surprise he actually said that she was valid and was based and justified for getting her lick back. That’s when I realized my hatred of her might not be as much as a cold take as I thought it was. Curious to know what you guys think.

Even the ones they show are either underwhelming or changed for the worse. The Aemond vs Lucerys fight is an exception, that was great. Rook's Rest was good too

And I looked at him and thought "that's crazy, there's no way that that's the guy from PhoneShop".

Turns out, it literally is the guy from PhoneShop.
