[SPOILERS]- Game of Thrones What If…

As many of you know, HBO has greenlit a number of prequel series and spin-off series to Game of Thrones. The most obvious example of this is House of The Dragon, but others, such as a show about Yi Ti and Corlys Velaryon, are in development. Eventually, we might end up getting as many of them as we have in regards to say, Marvel or Star Wars on Disney +

After watching What If… on Disney+, a show about hypothetical events in the Marvel universe, I began to think about something. This would be a fantastic premise for a Game of Thrones type show, which is based on decisions made by characters and political events that could often be easily changed.

A show like this might not be possible. George R R Martin famously hates fan fiction. But still, it’s something I’m interested in. If I were to be in charge of such a show, for one, it would be animated, so that most of the cast could return to their roles (though sadly not all of them, (RIP Diana Rigg, Peter Vaughn, Max Von Sidow, etc.) The first three topics I would tackle would be a situation where Khal Drogo survives and invades Westeros. Ideally, I’d like to see how this impacts the players in the War of the Five Kings, and results in say, a temporary and uneasy Stark-Lannister alliance to chase of the Targaryens. Through this, we would see how these characters who hate each other have to work together to fight a common enemy. The second is a situation where Stannis takes the Iron Throne. There are a number of ways through which this could happen, but Id prefer one through which he has to make an uneasy alliance with the Tyrells, again, showing how two groups who despise each other have to work together. And the third and final would be a scenario where Ned Stark and Cersei Lannister are wed to each other, and how the next few decades of their life goes, and how they deal with one another. After that, I would be interested in seeing scenarios where Renly, Robb Stark, Daenerys, and possibly Rhaegar get what they want, although they would mostly take place years after their conquest and deal with them facing new obstacles (Renly fighting Daenerys, Rhaegar’s war of succession between his children by Elia and Lyanna, Robb dealing with the White Walkers, Daenerys facing a new enemy, etc.)

What do you all think?
