“Game of Thrones” is one of the most watched series on TV, but "The Walking Dead" creator and comic-book writer Robert Kirkman has something to say about its author, George R.R. Martin.
In a recent interview of Rolling Stone Magazine to the "The Walking Dead" creator, he called out to Martin expressing his displeasure to the author for allowing HBO to build stories for the series based on his book, ahead of his story since he is still currently writing the final books.
"I'm disappointed in George R.R. Martin for doing. He should have just been like, F-- you. You make it up now, I'll get to mine when I'm ready," he said during the interview.
The season six of the hour long episode of the show in HBO marks the first time that they did not include any text from Martin for the show's road map, NY Daily News reported.
HBO show runners also confirmed that they have created their own story arcs while some twists of the seasons are from Martin. They also added that they already know how the show is going to end.
But Martin has consistently promised fans of his book that the final two novels will be a lot different than the television series. It will tackle on a different perspectives and plot twists.
Since the statement of Kirkman could possibly begin a battle of words with Martin, Kirkman clarified his statement on Twitter saying that disappointed could be the wrong word and that he was merely joking about how he would handle the situation. He added that he love GOT and he even praised Martin as a writer.
Kirkman said on Twitter that Martin is a better writer than him and that he loves the new season of Game Of Thrones. He also said that it is one of his favorite TV shows.
Apparently, Kirkman was surprised about how the attention his statement about Martin was received by fans of GOT.
Like Thrones, TWD is also based on an unfinished source material but according to Kirkman, even if he knows what will be happening next, he never reveals it to the show runners of the hit TV show.
To recall, Kirkman was also attacked back in 2011 because of his statement about the ending of ABC's "Lost."
