It is supposed to be. I imagine it works a lot in the same way the 3 Eyed Raven cave currently works.

I never said he would be fucking superman loool.
All i said is he might not have to eat, or sleep, and perhaps maybe has more resistance to pain or something and maybe more speed but thats about it. No one said he would be fucking superman, but like Kit Harrington himself said he has to go through some type of transformation. Who the fuck wants Jon to be exactly the same anyway? If thats the case why even have him die?

Zombies were extremely popular when he started writing. By now, zombies are passe.
He never really had a plan beyond, "oh shit, snow zombies. All the nerd money will be mine."
He does a couple of things well.
Were they? The first book came out in 1996.
28 Days Later came out in 2002. Walking Dead was 2003.

nah his original outline was 3 books. War of the 5 kings (War of the Roses between lancasters and Yorks, or Lannisters and Starks), Return of Targaryan rule (Tudors. which following the war of the roses, means she'll end up marrying a york, or Stark, ie Jon Snow), and the War for the Dawn (here's where you insert Fantasy into your historical fiction. Dragons vs zombies).
It really was supposed to be a bunch of backstabbing war between houses leaves the country in shambles, Dany roles in and reconquers shit, just in time for the wall to come down and shit to get real.
He just likes historical politics so much he took 3+ books to finish the first bit, then made a grave error in judgement and didn't use his long planned 5 year gap to kick off the 2nd bit, so we've now had 2 books of bullshit filler to cover the 5 year gap time period (but not really 5 years).
He's still expecting to finish the last 2 pieces (Targ return and zombie war) in 2, maybe 3 books. Since his interest is more on historical fiction and less on Fantasy elements, he can probably do it. Just rush through the fantasy part he doesn't want to write anyway. Assuming he ever finishes the books.

I got really bored at work, and watched all of Youtube.
There is a person / channel whatever, "Alt Shift X" that does some good GoT theory shit. Tyrion being a lannister, john snow being a targ, what Varys is actually up to etc (theorizes he is a Blackfire).
Anyway, some good stuff in those videos, or maybe not. Fuk I dunno, I literally think I watched all of Youtube so my brain is basically rotten at this point.

yeah, ive linked those before and gotten my ass reamed for it. though, the varys video is quite cool and is probably the best summation of his story arc and since we likely will never see how it turns out in the books, it doesnt make you mind so much.
alt x and preston jacobs seem to have the best video theories

I'd argue zombies weren't even popular when TWD started publication. That was really at the very start of the vampire craze. Zombies didn't really become a mainstream thing until 2009/10 time frame.
Also I'm not sure I agree with the whole "GRRM wrote himself into a corner" thing. The earlier books I'd say had more political intrigue and schemes than the later books. He didn't just stumble into the realization that he enjoys writing the human aspect of the story. Book1/2 were extremely, extremely low fantasy and heavy on character-character interaction. With the biggest fantasy being the shadow baby killing the homo. If anything I'd say GRRM started to enjoy writing more about high fantasy and magic in his world because it was introduced more and more as time went on with the novels.
