They didn't put Strong Belwas in the TV show so it makes sense he's not in there.

Who cares insert a dick joke it's this ^ it's totally absurd. Tyrion's kidnapping kicks off the war, he's hand of the king, he's accused of murdering the king, he actually does murder the head of one of the seven kingdoms who is also his father, he goes overseas to bring back dragon Hitler, he's getting mentioned

The meta joke would be that the work titled "a song of ice and fire' makes no sense.

The companion book, World of Ice and Fire, is pretty funny in places for this. The dedication page says that's been written in dedication to our Great and Noble King

The book would have already been half written by the Maester by the last season. They'd have written the rebellion to benefit the Lannisters, so the rebellion happened because the evil Starks wanted to supplant the rightful King. No need to even mention Tyrion. I know it's stupid but if you can't imagine how a fictional society might rewrite history then well, watch some Fox news hmm?

I think someone did a big long effort YouTube video about how the whole "prostitutes gave him his coin back" could have been a ploy by Littlefinger as an attempt to get Podrick coming back as a means of getting intel on Tyrion. It kind of makes sense too since in the scene Tyrion is super enthralled to hear the story and Bronn is just like "they're after something."

It couldn't matter less whether or not D&D thought really hard about including A Song of Ice and Fire in the show, because it's only the last in a series of completely unearned self-aware fourth wall breaks in that episode. First we get Tyrion imprisoned talking to Jon and about Dany and he says something like "we watched her burn slavers and cheered all the while," then during the kingsmoot he delivers the Stories Unite People speech in what might be the most watched example of tv writers jerking themselves off. Then finally the Monty Python The Book of the Film joke happens. It's painful irrespective of whether or not you can hold your breath long enough to convince yourself that it makes sense. Might as well have had Tormund turn and say "Forget it Jon, it's a land of ice and fire" before walking through the wall to go north.

TOOT BOOT posted:I wonder what happened to the baby white walker What about all the Qarth stuff? None of those storylines went anywhere. Or why the Others didn't kill Sam. Or Dorne's armies. Or why The Faceless Men just let someone go with all of their secrets because she killed one of the two other faceless men in the world. They left tons of stuff just sitting around because they couldn't be bothered. Daario is probably nailed to a cross outside of Slaver's Bay because Dany loving sucked at everything.

Arya kills a faceless man only for Jaqen to go "Now a girl is truly no one!" It doesn't even make sense until you realise that the only reason he says it so that Arya can say "No, I am Arya Stark of Winterfell!" At least a lot of the books' awesome moments are earned instead of awkwardly set up.

I always thought Jaqen's game from the beginning of Arya showing up in Bravos was to make her give up trying to join his cult and do what she actually wanted, and so the mind games began. But I'm definitely giving the show too much credit.

Ayra and Sam suffer the most from the original timeskip idea that didn’t happen, since their plot and growth would have made way more sense if there was a few years where they could train

I think it's more that HBO decided to move that storytelling over to the prequel series that was supposed to be about them, but D&D torched the franchise on the way out and as a result of nobody caring about GoT anymore there's only the Targaryen prequel series left that nobody will watch. Seriously, how many people during the quarantines did you hear "gee, you know what I should rewatch? Game of Thrones!"
