'House of the Dragon' showrunner has some choice words about George R.R. Martin's criticisms of season two

Ryan Condal, the showrunner of House of the Dragon, expressed disappointment in George R. R. Martin's criticisms of the second season, particularly his concerns about the removal of Prince Maelor Targaryen from the plot.
Condal stated that adapting Martin's Fire & Blood involves a looser interpretation of the source material due to its complexity.
HBO defended Condal's decisions, emphasizing that adapting titles comes with unique challenges, stating, 'There’s been no television show in history that ever said, We have too much money and too much time to make this.'
Condal promised that season three would cover 'four major events from the book,' including the anticipated Battle of the Gullet naval battle.
