6 reasons of why is Game of Thrones so addictive?
Game of Thrones season 8 will release in 2019 but we have been waiting for it since the last episode 7 of Game of Thrones ended which was on 27th August 2017 and these days it’s like we are nothing without Game of Thrones, but why are we so addicted to it.
Do you know that Game of Thrones is so popular that it was pirated a billion times and it is so popular that on an average within 3 days of airing every Game of Thrones episodes gets leaked as compared to any movie which gets leaked after 2 – 3 months!!
We are so addicted to Game of Thrones not just because of its VFX but because:-
1. The show is almost impossible to predict
Unpredictability in Game of Thrones has gone so high that we can’t even predict what will happen in next 1 second. Whether it was the prediction of Lord Baelish making Sansa betrays Arya but what really happened was Lord Baelish got betrayed by Sansa or dragon gets ridden by the king of the white walker.
2. No long term attachment to most of the characters
Whether it is the death of Edd Stark, Khal Drogo a.k.a Jason Momoa or the red wedding where almost everyone got slaughtered and also not to mention Jon Snow, though he got revived still I can remember how he got stabbed multiple times.
3. Politics, Politics, Politics….. and corruption
We live in the world where politics and corruption happen everywhere whether it is a question of making a Mexico wall or using social media for your interest. Both Edd Stark and Catelyn Stark were good people but awful in politics which resulted badly for them and Ramsay Bolton killing his father Roose Bolton for the north and there are other cases too. Like these, we can relate everything from Game of Thrones but only one thing is different which is the setup.
4. Karma
Well, this is my favourite part and this what makes my belief in the Game of Thrones rock solid.
Whether Theon Grejoy betraying the Robb Stark and getting peeled up by Roose Bolton, Walder Frey slaughter Stark family and gets slaughtered by Arya Stark, Roose Bolton betrays Robb Stark and gets killed by his son Ramsay Bolton. What goes around comes around.
But did you know how much of hard work was put behind Game of Thrones is simply huge by George RR Martin.
He first started selling fiction stories in 1970 after then he published many novels till 1991 and by 1991 he was already a famous author.
A Game of Thrones (1996)
A Clash of Kings (1998)
A Storm of Swords (2000)
A Feast for Crows (2005)
A Dance with Dragons (2011)
He has put so much of efforts in making the first book and it took more than 5 years to complete it, which is the season 1 of GOT, around 2 years for a 2nd season and 5 years again for the 4th! and 6 years for the 5th!! which resulted in such an awesome T.V. series of an entire history of a mankind.
The sixth book “The Winds of Winter” is in progress!!!
