House of the Dragon Wants You to Trust Game of Thrones Again
As soon as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen cast aside her gaze from the fire and set her sights on revenge, the cat was out of the bag
The new Game of Thrones series aims to give viewers what the previous one couldn't. It's as obvious as the fact that [spoiler] was doomed from the moment he climbed onto a dragon
The show strives to renew the trust of those who were let down before, by delivering what they crave
a female ruler who's determined to seize the Iron Throne without losing her identity and a plentiful supply of dragons. Despite this, House of the Dragon still has a long road ahead in regaining the viewers' confidence
First, if you haven’t seen Sunday’s finale episode and don’t want to know what happens, stop reading
Second, if you haven’t already kind of seen where this show wants to take you, you haven’t been paying attention
One of the benefits of Dragon, as opposed to Game of Thrones, remains that the show is based on a pretty set-in-stone bit of text—George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood. Unlike its predecessor, which ended its run in 2019 before Martin could finish writing the books on which it was based
HBO’s new fantasy thingamabob has guardrails. Yes, the show’s creator, Ryan J. Condal, could choose to remove them, but why? Surely he knows there is nothing down that path but pain
The first season of House of the Dragon wrapped up with the news of Rhaenyra's father's death and her brother, Aegon II, taking the Iron Throne. Like Daenerys Targaryen, she is a white-haired
determined woman seeking to claim her rightful place. Unlike Daenerys, Rhaenyra doesn't want to rule over a kingdom of destruction, but rather to unite the realm. Her former mother-in-law
Rhaenys, describes her as "the only one who has demonstrated restraint" as her council calls for war. Rhaenyra's character arc has a clear direction, unlike Daenerys who deviated from her original purpose
Game of Thrones originally positioned Daenerys as the hero, with a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne and the desire to free people and rule as the one queen. However
her relentless pursuit of the crown ultimately led her to destroy King's Landing, much to the disappointment of her fans
