House of dragon hasn't been bad, but it hasn't gripped me either. Feels like diet GoT. They're trying to do what Hollywood does: figure out the recipe and cash in.

The problem here is the discontinuity in the timeline. Some actors age, some don't, some get replaced... All on top of a fairly emotionless story. After season one of the original, you have a developing cast that's interesting and a climax that makes you go 'WTF?'

At the end of HoD, I just let out a "meh." I may go back, assuming I have nothing better. I'm far more interested in season 2 of Severance or many other higher quality series out there.

A climax that makes you go WTF because it threw out 7 seasons of character development?

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

We do not talk about season 8. Say you're sorry.

Kidding aside, I'm 100% with you.

PS - I was talking about the climax to season 1.

Season 7 is just as bad. Wake up 🤣

If you haven't watched GoT 1-6 in a while, go watch season 7 and tell me WTF is going on. It's a god-honest fever dream. 🫠

Diet GoT hits the spot, it is absolutely right. I watched half the first season or and got bored because it repeated so many of the things in GoT. Maybe not the directors fault, I guess the books are just written that way.

It focuses a lot in character building and setting the scene for the terrible mess that’s apparently to come. Shit starts to hits the fan towards the end of the season… I’m very excited for season 2.

Especially since there’s less chance of all this character development being flushed down the toilet like in GoT, because the source material is actually finished

And also, basically every scene is set inside. Think of all the great scenes in GoT that are just 2-6 people walking and talking. They all feel distinct, because theres interesting visual context. Without that, unless you know way too much about the lore going in, you can barely tell people are in different locations because all the castles look similar. And half of the location names are different compared to GoT.

I haven't seen it, but I'm going to predict some incest, a lot of other twisted shit, and a plethora of main character deaths. How did I do?

Yoi should mark this as spoilers.

We know most of them by terms like "that woman from Nurse Jackie" and "he was one of the Doctors Who" so I get this.

Michael Targaryen, Pam Targaryen, Dwight Targaryen, Stanley Targaryen, Jim Targaryen... there are others.
