That’s quite…
Fairytale retellings: everyone’s doing them. Usually the shows, books, and movies are touted as “darker takes” on the original story, featuring beloved characters as villains or villains as beloved characters.

I am back from my trek across the Narrow Sea. I saw everything! Daario Naharis’ junk, I rode a boat through the crotch of the Braavosi statue and I even got mistaken as a slaver. I’m all like, “Don’t nail me to a post, guys! That ain’t me.” The red waste, by the way, not…
