The Big Picture Game of Thrones has a complex legacy. After reaching a rare level of popularity, the finale disappointed fans and still lives in infamy. Yet when House of the Dragon premiered in 2022, it seemed everyone was ready to be hurt again. Fans quickly embraced the prequel, now the first in a long line of spin-offs.
House of the Dragon TV-MA The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. Based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon is set nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys. For example, Cersei is introduced as an admittedly self-centered woman in a loveless marriage. But, what begins with desperate attempts to protect her children, morphs into a lust for power until she kills hundreds. This development is true to Martin's arc, for the most part, but she is not an isolated example of the series more strictly defining good and evil. Tyrion demonstrates this change as the intelligent character leaves his old, morally corrupt ways behind as he gains power.
Similarly, Rhaenyra considers peace, debating giving up her throne to protect Westeros despite the council of her husband, Daemon . What pushes her over the edge is the loss of her son, Lucerys , who is killed on a diplomatic mission, leading her to blame the Greens for starting the war. This seemed to be the big villain moment, except that, once again, House of the Dragon cleaned up the character's worst actions by making Lucerys' death an accident.
