Listening to Jonny and Alex talk about Webmartin's intended design was So satisfying. On one hand, yes all these little moments in early seasons that connected Martin to the Web were intentional as foreshadowing for this aspect of his character, but on the other hand by the end a canon Webmartin would've felt (at least to me) like a significant betrayal of Martin's character, like he was lying to us and Jon the whole time. It was just incredibly validating to hear them lay both takes out like that

#tma retrospective #the magnus archives #shut up me #and also just Incredible how they noted the EXACT THINGS I saw people theorizing about martin in early s5 #that he didnt love jon or was faking it or was secretly evil #Like WOW they really had way more of a finger on the pulse of the fandom than I thought they did #Jonny especially (I really had the idea that he didnt look at fan stuff at all #both horrified and pleasantly surprised that he did)#tmaspoilers #tma spoilers #By the way these are only my thoughts on canon webmartin in the way they had originally planned #I like it as a concept but as a part of his character arc it never sat nicely with me #yes Martin queue are my reason
