Martin says he hopes House of the Dragon and Rings of Power both succeed.
“I hope both shows succeed.
I’m competitive enough.
I hope we succeed more,” Martin said.
“If they win six Emmys, and I hope they do, I hope we win seven.
But nonetheless, it’s good for fantasy.
I love science fiction.
I want more shows on television.”
“It’s kind of a weird deal, as you know.
Amazon bought Tolkien, but they didn’t actually get any of the books,” Martin said.
Martin has spoken a lot in the past about how Tolkien’s writing affected and inspired his own.
“I think a lot of epic fantasy has too much magic.
“He doesn’t just magically disappear them away, like what happens in so many other stories.”
