    GOT hit a lot of beats that resonate with people; sex, violence, romance, sex, mystery, tragedy, sex, humor, intrigue, tits, and the "wow" factor. they also found a unique balance between darkness and hope, it wasn't gritty and somber for the sake of being gritty and somber, which is a mistake a lot of modern fantasy and sci-fi shows make these days.

    Most of the shows featured in that video aren't designed to give the audience what GOT managed to pull off. GOT was also smart enough to lean into human interaction and character development instead of getting bogged down in the fabric of the fantasy.

    I always like fantasy and sci-fi but I don't have high hopes any of those shows (except maybe the prequel) will come close to replacing GOT.

    Yeah, I feel Amazon completely wasted money for the big deal they signed with Warner Bros. to do the "Lord of the Rings" TV show. They clearly didn't understand why GoT is so Popular & how different LotR is from ASOIAF.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the LotR TV show never gets off the ground, especially since Amazon also did a deal to do a TV show on "The Wheel of Time" books.

    Yeah, I think the copycats would be better served going in a largely different direction. Staying too close to the Game of Thrones model will only invite comparison, and that almost *can't* end well for the new show.

    Just a heads-up there are leaked Avengers Endgame images and plot detail circulating online, (apparently there was a pre-screening somewhere and somebody snuck in a camera) the images and info are very spoiler heavy, so be careful if you don't want the movie ruined for you before next week.

    Needless to say please don't post any spoilers here, thanks.

    And one of the biggest things is that GoT DIDN'T copy anyone. Something those in the entertainment industry still hasn't learned. They also let it grew and sprout I saw the ratings for the first 2 seasons of Game Of Thrones and they weren't as big as these last two seasons.

    But some of these streaming and TV networks have their own big hits. Netflix has Stranger Things, Haunting Of Hill House, Black Mirror, ect. (But one of their problems are they will abruptly cancel a show for no reason they want to tell you.)

    Amazon Prime has that Hanna hit on their hands right now.

    Starz has Power and American Gods

    It's good to be original instead of just copying and just let these things grow. Instead of always looking for that homerun right out of the gates.

    ‘The Gifted’ Canceled By Fox After 2 Seasons, Marvel Drama Could Potentially Find New Home At Disney

    This seems more likely. So we are still likely to have season 3.

    Or what I think would be more creative is to put it on Freeform after Cloak and Dagger on thursdays.
