The first episode of “House of the Dragon” was released on the American television network HBO, last week, to the delight of critics and audiences alike.
Meanwhile, the series “Game of Thrones” promises an exciting journey for viewers who have been eagerly awaiting its second season.
Although the series “Game of Thrones” ended abruptly, as many considered it, and cast a shadow on the beloved characters, the new series offers fans a new exciting journey in the magical kingdom of Westeros.
But no matter what the ending turns out to be, will House of the Dragon ever rise to the level of Game of Thrones? Will you fix some of the previous mistakes?
The story of the new series takes place 200 years before the events of the previous series, and the opening episode was the most watched in the history of the “HBO” network.
So let’s take a look at the heated confrontation between (House of the Dragon) and its beloved predecessor (Game of Thrones).
Violence and gender
The Game of Thrones series is known for its fight scenes that include mutilation, beheading, dismemberment, castration, burning, eye-gouging, throat slashing, and much more.
As for the violence in the first episode of House of the Dragon, we saw arrogant unaccompanied knights and soon violent brawls with blood and head injuries crept onto our screens. In addition, the team has mastered the art of showing the unhealthy and dangerous reproductive process that women have known throughout most of human history.
We’ve also been brutally treated extrajudicially by Damon Targaryen (Matt Smith) and his gold-cloaked gang who have proceeded to cut off the hands, heads, and genitals of suspected criminals.
The director delved into more images of dismembered body parts and the blood and viscera of knights and queens than in Game of Thrones.
misogyny?
Game of Thrones has been constantly criticized for its misogynistic attitudes, as well as sexual violence, through endless scenes of brothels that provide so-called “sexual status”, using rape as a tool for character development, and one episode forced in which a woman walks nude caused some viewers to turn away.
As for House of the Dragon, the sexual theme is subtle, and he seems intent on correcting his predecessor’s mistakes.
event environment?
Game of Thrones was a sprawling series that took us to every part of the Seven Kingdoms as well as the Free Cities.
In House of the Dragon, most of the action so far has been in the King’s Landing capital, and since all the main characters are in the Royal Castle of the Red Keep, it looks like it will stay that way.
Look at the actors
The “House of the Dragon” series had more British actors than the “Game of Thrones” series.
Matt Smith (Dr. and Prince Philip in “The Crown”) plays Prince Damon Targaryen in “House of the Dragon” while Paddy Constantine plays his brother (King Viserys). I).
Young talents Millie Alcock and Emily Curry play best friends Princess Rhinera Targaryen and Aliscent Hightower, but they are set to be replaced by older actresses when the series leaps forward a decade later.
The list is also littered with British family names including Rhys Evans, David Horowitz and Bill Patterson and many more characters that have not yet appeared.
node?
The other side of the violence in Game of Thrones has always been intrigues between big-name characters, as well as amazing performances from heavyweight actors.
For House of the Dragon, there was already a subtle hint of personal history and future ambitions between Matt Smith and Rhys Evans and a show regarding the bitter pasts and ambitious futures of Reinera Targaryen (Eve Best’s character).
Game of Thrones scenes range from the battlefield to the council chamber, while House of the Dragon seems able to create a tense political atmosphere throughout the ages.
Finally, it is worth noting that 20 million euros were spent on (House of the Dragon),
