Well, duh. My point is that the history sounds better and could be woven together more tightly. Maybe it couldn't, I don't know that much about it.
It's like how we hear all about Selmy's great battles in the past, but the story we have has nothing to do with them. Selmy wasn't even the greatest. Ned Stark's greatest battles were pre-GoT. Same with Jaime's. Just about everything in the GoT timeline looks like it was better during the preceding 20-40 years. I have a feeling the ending of GoT will not culminate to something as powerful as the Robert vs Rhaegar thing would have been. Tywin's diplomatic battles with Aerys sound way better than anything Tywin has done in the show. Ser Arthur Dayne vs the Smiling Knight sounds even better than Oberyn vs the Mountain. Some of the stuff Ned did after the fallout with Robert sounds awesome
