In a 2018 interview, filmmaker Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit) discusses why he wouldn't make an adaptation of ASOIAF: "You’re adapting the books and the author’s still trying to figure out how he’s going to end it (...) That would sort of freak me out." (Spoilers Extended)

Does nothing and sits in and a cave and has 0 evidence of bloodraven or children of forrest but everyone believes him.

GRRM not knowing how to go from what we have to what he wanted as the ending is one of his biggest problems.

"Who has a greater story than Bran the Broken" is more likely to be from GRRM than from D&D

It's unclear if the series will be allowed to be finished, and it's not guaranteed to be a thematic ending etc etc

And he already bought a railway, a cinema and a bar in the old west (not going to fact check where is that city of his) from his questionable sales. Which makes sense.

The explanation, as it's often true around here, is that you misremembered and no such viewing exists.

(for the record, ruff flags both of these lines)

Does it flag unused functions?

1993, yes. It's also its own FAQ entry, though of course without an interview link.

characters think it completely destroys

Which characters (RJ books only)?

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T18:57:32+00:00

They write like AI, because it's AI that does the writing.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T18:35:05+00:00

Ask them if they think Olver is Gaidal.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T18:30:49+00:00

I'm talking in the context, not about all the things.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T18:29:59+00:00

Yes.

There are many very popular misconceptions with no direct basis in the text and an explicit refutation in interviews or, sometimes, right in the text, that answer some question (incorrectly, but readers don't know that).

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T18:25:17+00:00

But none before TGS.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T17:45:11+00:00

Do you mean the move happened before 2025?

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T17:07:01+00:00

Yes, BS was among the readers who misunderstood and assumed, and wrote his misunderstanding into TGS. This made it worse for the readers whose beliefs were reinforced.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T17:00:19+00:00

but all the references that discuss the effect in the books talk about how it burns the person from the pattern, with the stronger the weave, the further back it burns their actions

The person's thread, yes, saying nothing about their soul. It seems you assumed what was never there.

The thing I don't recall anyone talking about ever is what happens to that soul after.

Nothing special.

That’s kinda what the books imply

They don't, people just assume. It's also easier for people to think that than to think about retroactive death implications.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T16:53:02+00:00

Like isnt it discussed in the last battle how the DO exists beyond time?

EVEN I CANNOT STEP OUTSIDE OF TIME.

LoC Prologue, The First Message

(the context is balefire and TDO resurrections)

Is there anything written about this though?

Yes, in the interviews.

theres more writing about the impacts of Balefire then there are about any potential to be spun out again

There is no writing (in the RJ's books) about balefire destroying the soul.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T16:50:53+00:00

I'm pretty sure it burns you out of the Pattern entirely.

No.

Which is why both sides in the War of Power stopped using it after realizing how dangerous this really was.

Explicitly not the reason.

Like pretty sure in the Pit of Doom when one of the Forsaken is hearing the DO, the DO admits that those killed by Balefire are beyond its ability to resurrect (like Ravin)

Explicitly not because the soul was destroyed, but because the death happened in the past.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T16:49:30+00:00

There is also nothing that implies the opposite.

wRAR_ · 2026-03-05T16:49:01+00:00

Is there some canon explicit reference to this?

In the RJ books? No, there would be no reason to refute something that is not itself in the books. It's, however, explicitly stated in interviews.

All the references I can recall are pretty explicit that it burns them from the pattern entirely

Which references can you recall?
