Am I the only one not moved by the marketing/press?
This press run feels very half-assed to me:
- TV Spots that aren't airing on TV. In fact, HBO is still running HoTD ads. How are they going to reach the GP/non-comic fans if they have no idea the show exists????
- The leads are doing separate press circuits, which makes no sense considering they can't say much about the happenings in the show, letting the dynamic between Kyle & Aaron lead in interviews would get more people interested/excited
- The sit-and-talk interviews. Kinda same as above: they can't say much about what happens in the show, how many more times can they remix and reword the same talking points??? What happened to playing games or other fun things in the interview???
- And don't get me started on that stan twitter ass edit that HBO made some poor, probably unpaid intern put together
