Game of Thrones owes growing popularity to Red Wedding

Lannisters sent their regards!
Fantasy Series have always garnered massive amounts of fan base, all of it starts with fantasy books that are written to blurt out a whole new world that depicts our own in so many ways and then these best sellers lead way on screen to become popular series of all time with a fan base that cant be measured in terms of counts. Almost everyone who comes in contact falls for them immediately , at least every one from our Generation ;) All these Fantasy movies based on novels like Lord of the rings, Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia have had their fair share of fan base for showing us realities of life through whole new territory. Game of thrones also follows the same line except it's creators deemed it good to do it via Drama series rather then a film.

The fantasy genre has been promoted by television series that is to say that Game of thrones broadened the fan circle of fantasy, no doubts being a big budget series did help big time by materializing an amazing story into amazing drama series with very impressive visuals and cinematography.


The Series is based on several plots each one interlinking with the other that encircle around Westeros and Essos; through these plot lines several severe issues like Civil War, loyalty, honesty, Crime, Religion, Corruption, Conspiracies and may other are addressed perfectly via various well portrayed characters. Three plots in the series are civil war between seven elite houses for the Iron throne, the evil that has emerged again in the North and attempt by last heir of exiled Targaryen dynasty to reclaim what was taken from them by force and deceit.

All the interlinked plots and confusing stories that revolve around characters make the overall plot more complex, while watching it every detail has to be comprehended quite carefully and that is where Game of Thrones mainly garnered its success. Viewers were estranged by the series because instead of being simplistic like many series in the same genre it was much more complex.

Game of thrones has managed to grab as many as 16 Emmy nominations this year, thanks to all the social media following that was created as a direct result of Red wedding a.k.a Rains of Castamere treat and those reaction videos that emerged after the episode made the story go viral. Other then this years Emmy nominations Game of thrones has been able to have Primetime Emmy Nomination for Drama series in all three seasons, Golden Globe Award Nomination for Best Television series, Primetime Emmy Award for Best supporting Actor and Golden Globe Award for Best supporting Actor. The last two wins on its plate are of none other but Tyrion Lannister who has won much more then just awards among the fan base.
The Moment when you realize something horrible is about to happen 
Sure Awards are just a measure of performance! but they mostly stem out of vast popularity that they enjoy among their fan base round the Globe. while gauging the popularity one will find it quite hard that recent big up in the popularity owes big time to Red Wedding.
