When you realize that every single piece of fantasy literature relies on this premise, you’ll never be able to unsee it. Like what do you mean Ned Stark has 6 children but zero first or second cousins?

Something that didn't really translate to the show (due to both casting and writing) is that Renly looks exactly like this version of young Robert. Like, *scarily* identical. His campaign for the throne is built on nostalgia (that, and Tyrell ambition)

Even assuming the broad strokes are the same (which I do) everything is changed by the POV structure, the most important storytelling choice in ASOIAF. Only the reader knows what Dany has gone through, what she's tried to do and why. No one in Westeros has any reason to care!
