Ridley said he purposely did the changes to tell a more enticing story.
Which in his defense, it is that.

TRUE! I don't give too much of a shit about noblepeople and their 'struggle' to be gobstoppingly rich assholes. I'll watch House of the Dragon because it's about 2-3 real assholes fighting over the crown, but you never get the idea these are a 'hero's journey' type story which is what KOH was framed as, with this poor blacksmith going there to seek something, becoming a noble, fighting to keep what was right, and back to square one, except in his new reality.
HOTD is more like "you know Rhaenys is a c**** because she killed all those normies to show how intimidating she is on a dragon".
