The strategy of creating many characters has the short-term gain of keeping the audience from feeling safe about the fates of main characters, but it takes on a long-term debt to resolve all those character arcs satisfactorily and roughly at the same time.

The problem is less that the Night King died early on but more that his death had little to no impact on the remaining narrative. At one point I thought that the Battle of Winterfell would significantly diminish Dany's forces and/or the morale of the North but nope, things were scantly changed. It's really less about the plot points and more of the journey between them that the show completely botched.

It is super difficult. In the end, it was too much for these writers to accomplish w/o the details of GRRM's books. Yes he gave them the outline but it's not the same

What I love about the world GRRM has created and the way he writes is that we get the sense that the Seven Kingdoms and the war for the Iron Throne feel like an entity in themselves. It's a huge, dynamic, ever-changing web of motivations and allegiances, and a lot of people in this story exist at the mercy of it unless they know how to "play the game". To me that's what makes ASOIAF stand tall in the fantasy genre--through these many perspectives, we get a glimpse into that terrifying, cold, brutal machine that serves as the heart of the story

And that’s it ladies and gentlemen... the peripheral threats ARE the most important ones; from the horses mouth no less. Part of the reason I feel D&D so totally messed up this last season of GOT.

This finally proves to all those people that George also thought that the fight for the iron throne was petty, and that the real threat was from the white walkers (and Dany). So why kill the white walkers (and Dany, but more the white walkers) so easily? Literally 1 episode. they couldn't even kill Samwell - how dangerous could they possibly have been? Such a rushed and disappointing ending

Yep! I mean it's been established already that D&D just wanted to be done with GOT and rushed the ending. They were offered money for 10 seasons. Initially they the show would only be 7. Then they caved and did 8.

It's true, King's Landing is so full of drama that, when Night's Watch warn of monsters, and tales come of dragons reborn, the Lannisters are almost deaf to literally apocalyptic threats approaching.

He shouldn't be too worried about those outside threats that threaten us all, like the others. According to the show, they aren't too difficult to deal with.

"They are so concerned with who's gonna be king, who's gonna be on the small council, who's gonna be in charge of all these policies, that they're blind to the much greater and more dangerous threats that are happening far away, and that are on the periphery of their kingdoms." I think it's safe to say that the Others and Dany won't be taken out as easily as on the show

He wrote himself into a corner with how many side stories there are. This is a major reason as to why he may never finish the story. Tolkien told a masterful epic story that focused on only the most important aspects. George has spent so much time on details not needed to tell the story. He should have saved some of these sideplots for novelettes published after ASOIAF.

What is crazy is that he still writing those side things, like the fire and blood that he wrote, which he says he has a second he is writing. Also, I think his answer in the interview pretty much sums it up. You can't tell the entire story of WW2 from one perspective. Yeah, and you also can't tell the entire 'complete' story of WW2 in a 5 book trilogy. You could in fact write an entire 5 book trilogy on WW2 from the perspective of a single person. He definitely bit off more than he could chew.

In hindsight hearing him describe it this way seems like a dead giveaway that Dany is an antagonist along with The Others/The Night King. She has depth as a POV character but ultimately she’s a looming threat to the 7 kingdoms.
