BrooksBurner Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 My wife and I loved GoT, and we both wish the final season never came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Like how they're focusing on just a few main characters. GOT often got bogged down with so many different characters that you would barely see some in a given episode. Martin is a knucklehead, but he wasn't wrong to ditch the former show runners and take control of the narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I don’t know if that’s a Martin thing, he’s infamous for far too many POVs, so much as it being the source material. The Dying of the Dragons doesn’t have the length of any of the books that became Game of Thrones nor as many characters to focus on. The conflict overall is a lot tighter.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 If GoT had too many "main characters", I think this one has too few. It's just Viserys, Daemon and Rhaenyra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I don't think it's too few, though. We're revolving around Viserys, Daemon, and Rhaenyra, but we've got a really strong supporting cast with House Velaryon, Otto Hightower, Queen Alicent, Ser Criston, and others. This world is refined, but still quite large. Especially as we've expanded through The Reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This world is refined, but still quite large. Especially as we've expanded through The Reach. Agreed. I think the story is also just more narrow because that's just how the nature of this particular conflict is. Unlike Game of Thrones which follows a number of factions as well as storylines that tangent i.e. Arya, Bran, etc. House of the Dragon has a clearer conflict. Game of Thrones always had too much of a balancing act to pull off in whether it could effectively pull off all those branching storylines. They didn't quite stick the landing. With House of the Dragon has a clearer two-sided conflict but it's no worse for it — I'm enjoying watching how all of the various players choose their eventual faction. I agree that this still feels big. I feel like we're seeing a greater variety of houses and they all feel more unique than what we saw previously.
