Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin/@comment-166.137.143.75-20160502050718/@comment-28341818-20160502052438

You have no idea? You've never heard of Martin before, but have you at least heard of Game of Thrones? lol. The first battle after a break doesn't need to be extra epic. It doesn't work like a TV series. Each battle is epic and stands on it's own. The new series of Game of Thrones just started, and they most likely wanted to release it during the buzz. This is what they often do, because it makes the most sense for them.
