Although the anticipation behind last week’s season premiere of Game of Thrones felt like the Super Bowl of television to many, Marlon Wayans doesn’t appear to be excited about the return of the HBO drama at all.
“I don’t see a lot of brothers on it,” the famed comedian said during a TMZ interview at LAX, going on to point out there aren’t any “Julius’s or Jamal’s” flying any of the dragons. From there, he pointed out that he chose “Walking Dead” over “Game of Thrones,” and simply doesn’t have enough time to binge watch every critically acclaimed series. With that said, fans of the show will note that Game of Thrones does have a handful of black characters, including Daenerys’ trusted advisor Missandei, as well as Grey Worm, Xaro Xhoan Daxos, and Salladhor Saan. However, to Wayans point, none of the above characters are ever seen flying dragons.
