‘House of the Dragon’s’ latest episode has fans reflecting on how hated ‘Game of Thrones’ characters would handle foes

A moment from the ninth episode is reminding fans of very reviled characters past.

By the time Sunday rolls around, HBO’s House of the Dragon will have concluded its first season. It has received praise, sparked a number of memes, and now a moment from the ninth episode of the initial run of 10 is reminding fans of very reviled character’s past.

For those who have not seen the scene, a certain character gets a hold of a dragon and confronts other people before fleeing. While some dig the sequence, others say it is soft and characters on the initial show would have killed all those there with little hesitation.

For another, it is also worth speculating on how the initial show’s more ruthless characters would have reacted to this sort of mercy. For Cersei, it likely would have meant having a drink or two to hide her dismay and this was captured with The Office.

Another adds what happens with the character who had the chance to overcome her foes but chose not to is the antithesis to anything Cersei did on Game of Thrones and this is a major example of a character snatching defeat from victory’s jaws, too.

House of the Dragon is available to watch on HBO and the HBO Max, featuring moments with feet fit for a Tarantino to love. While its dragons are not real, they apparently were exhausting to actually direct, but nevertheless, a second season is on the way. . Fans are also on board with more seasons of the show as long as George R. R. Martin is involved and hope they shoot faster, too.
