It's a good idea. Just like eating bugs

If they wanted diversity they could've just included some new character that happens to be black instead of shitting on the lore.

>With the exception of a few, including Rhaenys as a Targaryen, the Velaryons of the show are reimagined from the books as wealthy Black rulers marked by flowing silver dreads, which addresses another criticism of Game of Thrones: the overwhelming whiteness of Westeros. Condal has an honest response for why he and Sapochnik made the character change: "It was very important for Miguel and I to create a show that was not another bunch of white people on the screen. We wanted to find a way to put diversity in the show, but we didn't want to do it in a way that felt like it was an afterthought or, worse, tokenism."

>The solution arose out of Condal's conversations with Martin. The land of Old Valyria, name-checked among Daenerys' many descriptors on Game of Thrones, was once a mythic, wondrous empire of dragons in Essos that fell to ruin. According to Condal, Martin toyed early on with the idea of depicting the Velaryons as Black conquerors who came to Westeros from the west. The image stuck with the new showrunner. The change would further help heighten the questions of legitimacy that arise in House of the Dragon amid the squabble for succession. "Once we had that idea, it just felt like everything fell into place," Condal recalls.

>instead of shitting on the lore
It's almost as if you learned nothing from HBO's The Watchmen. Elites fetishize race

*cant really complain

An African-American royalty is valid if we are talking about a fantasy fiction universe written by a united states writer. The author himself gave the green light and authorized the change. The question is whether the adaptation correctly modifies the source material to accommodate the change.

Stop thinking and watch goyslop

I can't really think of a character who takes more Ls than Corlys over the Dance
