I like that they set out to make Game of Thrones, which they've been very open about, right? Yeah. And I feel like a lot of Hollywood studios when they do that, they're like, we're going to make a Game of Thrones. But this is not a story of rival kingdoms vying for power. Not really. It's the story of this one guy and his quest for vengeance and understanding. The things of like nations battling with each other is very much like hand-waved and sort of background. Like in the universe, just in your further along than I am, but my read of it is like it's more like us playing from John's perspective.
