Game of Thrones creator responds to show's biggest criticism

Game of Thrones
may have ruled the earth, but it received its fair share of criticisms put down the way, from characters teleporting all over the effect, forgetting about Gendry, all of season 8, and its benefit of women.

While a lot of that is down to what the TV showrunners did at what time overtaking George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, a lot of the way women are spoken to and treated after what Martin has written.

Speaking at a San Diego Comic-con panel, which Digital Spy attended, the author defended his work from the criticism by claiming that it is only after actual history.

"Game of Thrones is based on... a words called the Anarchy," he said. "Henry I, King of England, his only legitimate son, drowned while trying to deplorable the Channel. He was left with one legitimate child, his daughter Matilda who he named his heir and the Lords swore fealty to her.

"Some days later, he died and the Lords said, 'Oh that oath doesn't apply, because here comes her cousin, Stephen', who crosses the Channel lickety-split and steals the treasury and gets himself crowned King, and you absorbing a period called the Anarchy.

"Maude, or Matilda as she was distinguished, and Stephen fought for a decade to two decades, and it was horrible and bloody. I don't think Westeros was more anti-woman or misogynistic than real life history. People fear change."
