is it generally regarded as significantly worse compared to the books

because if i were to get into the series, i don't know if i want to be watching a shitty show when i could be reading a decent(?) book

its not that different until season 4/5, but the books and show have always existed in separate continuities

the show is good in its own right but it doesnt compare to the canon material. not even close really

the show is a non-canon retelling of the song of ice and fire

to get the full story, you need to read the books

like, i guess people reconcile with the fact that it's still "entertaining", i guess, but like

for me, if i just spent a hundred or so hours watching a show that essentially meant nothing because it's not actually canon
i'd just feel empty inside

i mean, the show is pretty good. many of the actors absolutely KILL their roles. peter dinklage, charles dance, sean bean, lena headey, nikolaj coster-waldau, alfie allen, iwan rheon are all great as their respective characters, and some of these actors even redefined the character because of the sheer import of their performances, particularly peter dinklage.

however, the books take priority

the entire show isnt, most of it is kept pretty close to the books in the early seasons.

yeah. the only real changes for much of the show are that most of the exposition happens in dialogue instead of inner monologue, because inner monologues make tv shows really boring

I don't know what use there is saying what's canon and isn't. It's all ASOIF, it's all going to end basically the same way. I like it because it gives you different perspectives of the characters, and in a character-driven series like this one, that's very valuable. And as a book-reader, I really don't mind being surprised by episodes now, instead of just mentally checking off a list of book events the show has done.

It reminds me of Fullmetal Alchemist, which has two parallel series which contradict each others' story, but has the same art style, writing style, voice actors, and animation, so it's almost like having twice the content.

The books are miles better than the show.

im not trying to take away from the show by saying that, but that's just the cold hard truth. it isnt canon. it changes a lot of things. is it still valuable as a work of art, and as a companion piece to a song of ice and fire? absolutely. but it isnt a song of ice and fire. its game of thrones the tv show.

Like I said, I don't see a point to the distinction. Nobody is under the impression that the show is trying to precisely follow the books.

that's what i'm talking about

whenever there's an adaptation of anything, i always focus on one medium

the only exception has been harry potter, but even then, i only started reading and finishing all the books in the interim between movie 6 and movie 7

i'm just not into... being told the same story in a different way
it's like, if i wanted that, i would just rewatch the one that already exists
