obviously yes, the only hypothetical chance for a truly faithful asoiaf adaptation would be animated, but there is at least one scenario where live-action could achieve something animated asoiaf media could not. see, in my fantasy of a fuller, faithful live action adaptation, all 3 kettleblack knights would be played by the same actor using a fake beard, fake mustache, and fake facial scars as needed, which would feel different to one voice actor doing all 3 as that kind of multi-casting is common enough in cartoons. and i don't even mean using the parent trap/buffay sisters on friends-style camera trickery for one actor playing twins, i mean just never having more than one kettleblack in a scene at the same time as one small deviation from the text. eventually the audience starts to wonder if there's even more than 1 guy in-universe either or if oz kettleblack is not only doubling his pay by accepting coin from both cersei and tyrion but actually sextupling it by getting paid triple from both lannisters just for one dude's incompetentcy. then when cersei confesses to the high sparrow that she bedded all 3 it could be due to her own confusion over which was which making her unable to tell who had sex with her when he had fake scars and remains of a fake beard once after a quick switch. and we the audience would know it really is best to name all 3 bc it is one guy answering to osfryd, osmund, and osney so that it's impossible to know which first name (if any) is the true name.

the reason all of the divine intervention and prophecies and magic saviordom work so well with Daenerys and not HOTD Rhaenyra to me is that Dany is an underdog. like teenage girl raised on the streets used as a pawn for her entire life until the moment she performed a literal world-changing miracle and she immediately decides to use the magic to help those even less fortunate than her. for lack of a better word it is magical the night is alive with the music of dragons.

however in HOTD the heir to the throne most beloved of her father established member of a dynasty that uses dragons as tools of conquest and state power having the same prophecy and magic just does not work for me because it is not anything special!!! the only thing she seems to want to use it for us to install herself and we don’t even really know why she wants power. Plus the dagger is goofy.
