Talking about a generational war is a lot more simple when someone writes a book about it. When it comes to executing a movie or a show about the same, it becomes a tough job. The details are easy to write on a piece of paper than to display on a screen. Many epic stories of this kind of war have been made into a movie or a show. Game of Thrones is one of them. No matter how complicated the story is, fans love it and are crazy about the show.

Literature and cinema are the two parallel tools to make society aware as well as to entertain. But when these two combine and any written literature gets the form of a movie or a show, it gets new life. Game of Thrones is an American fantasy television drama. The show is a cinematic adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, the first of which is A Game of Thrones. The author of the book talks about the show and compares it with a Netflix original show Love, Death + Robots.

HBO has some more live-action projects lined up for their future. Among them are four animated projects as well. Talking about these animated shows, George R. R. Martin appreciates the Netflix Original Love, Death + Robots. This Netflix Original is a fantasy combined with science. This show explores the alternate history of humans. Martin appreciates the attempt of HBO and says, “The animated shows are coming along great,” and he compares it with this Netflix original show, Love, Death + Robots. He says, “The concept art is absolutely stunning.” 

The dystopian essence in both shows is a common element. Direct or indirect representation of the dark nature of humans, their destructive vision, and the actions that ultimately lead to hostile consequences can be seen in both shows. However, the representation techniques are extremely different. But the portrayal of the themes is common in many senses.
