Although direwolves attacking a dragon would’ve been thrilling to witness, I am glad Jon Snow’s direwolf Ghost did not go up in opposition to a fire-breather.

The ultimate season of HBO’s Recreation of Thrones is behind us, and whether or not you cherished or hated the ending, it is nonetheless exhausting to think about that the sequence may’ve been much more action-packed.
However in a latest podcast interview, Recreation of Thrones Director Miguel Sapochnik revealed that “The Lengthy Night time” episode was lacking an epic animal battle between direwolves and a dragon.
“There have been many issues that occurred that folks would’ve been so joyful to occur — assaults of direwolves and loopy stuff,” Sapochnik stated. “At a sure level you are, like, ’50 direwolves attacking an undead dragon doesn’t a superb film make.’ This was stuff we didn’t shoot; it is a part of the method.”
Clearly, Sapochnik underestimated what Recreation of Thrones followers could be excited to see. A pack of direwolves attacking an undead dragon appears like the best factor ever.
However do not blame Sapochnik for the minimize scene of direwolves versus dragons. Recreation of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss finally had the ultimate say of what did or did not make it into the ultimate season.
“They had been fully ruthless when it got here to that factor of ‘no we would like this, no we would like this,’ and on the identical time, in some unspecified time in the future there have been moments of realization of ‘we bodily cannot do a few of these issues, and a few issues we will,'” Sapochnik added.
