It's well made with lots of interesting shocking moments. Season 1 moves too quickly and Season 2 moves too slowly.

People are unhappy because:
1) They cut Episode 9 and 10 of Season 2 to put into Season 3, so there's no climax. This won't be a problem once Season 3 is out.

2) It's not 190% historically accurate to the plot summary in a spinoff history book, which has triggered some powerful autism.

My personal issue is that the actors are good but the wrong ages for who they are portraying.

Waiting for Season 3 could be a good idea.

You forgot they filled it with trannies and homos.

It's very poorly written, poor character development and poor pacing, with large inconsistencies and plot holes. Season 1 skimmed through 40 years of history in 10 episodes with 3 major actor changes for aging up certain characters approx 23 years (yet other major characters remain the same actor with 0 effort to address their age which makes it quite jarring) and Season 2 was an entire filler season where absolutely nothing happened.

People are unhappy because:
1) WB cut the Episode count for season 2 due to budget/performance problems/streaming hemorraging money, removing episode 9 and 10, but this was during the writers strike so they could not actually fix anything and had to film episodes 1-8 as is, and they were written as 8 episodes of bullshit filler where all the action and plot development occurring in Episode 9 and 10. Normally they would of been able to "get away" with this shit writing if the season payed off in the end but due to the cuts they couldn't so it just exposed how terrible the show is being run.

2) The writers falsely believe they are better writers than the source material, yet they are woefully inept. The series is not based on the source material at all, less than 5% of it is accurate, and it is notably worse in every single way. The writers are Woke degenerates and insert themselves and their politics into everything. Also the actors are as well and again due to the writers strike they just were left "winging it" trying to fix some of the written episodes by making it more fake and gay and than it already is.

I'd wait and make sure the show doesn't end up cancelled
Fixed that for you buttercup. Also:

"Filled with trannies" or "One tranny for 2 minutes"?
Literally the main character is a non-binary he/them

Should I watch this show ?
If you're really really bored or sick. It's not as good as Game of Thrones, has pacing issues, but has a few decent episodes and the story is good, but it's that problematic pacing that makes it hard to watch a full hour long episode where the stakes don't change and no characters change motivation. And that happens like 3 or 4 times.

It's not terrible, but it's not GoT good.

Main character is a woman, don't play into the meaningless nom binary nonsense, she's a lesbian at most.

Editing someone's quote like that is really gay though.

GoT characters and dialogue still blow HOTD out of the water even while being assassinated by the writers.

No comparison.
I'd say HotD has much better dialogue than S8 of GoT. That doesn't really mean much though.

Hotd dialogue is by far worse than even s8 GOT. (The source material has virtually no dialogue for them to use so it's shit modern writers impression of what the dialogue should sound like)

The characters and plots are like s6-s7 bad. Definitely cracks are showing, plot holes are starting to Develop but it's not yet s8 bad.

It morphed from warriors and dragons into a lesbian soap opera. With some weird homoerotic transsexuals thrown in for good measure.

The only 2 interesting main characters from season 1, Cole and Daemon were practically written off the show. The girl boss writers are done with the mansplaining it seems. It's all about the power ladies and the chicks with dicks now.

oh

Yas queens! This is just as bad as the lesbian space witches being hunted across the universe while they have their immaculate conception babies!

Get a grip. This show has very little if any modern political messaging.

I'll keep watching Game of Thrones thanks. And hopefully a lot of other people do to so they keep making more.



fucking kek

There was one lesbian scene and one tranny scene in Season 2.

Quite a lot of people got burned to death by dragons too.

Some of you are treating this like Star Wars (100% diversity casting) or Rings of Power (desecration of the source material).

It's fine.

literal 2nd largest house in importance to this timeline (Velaryon) are race swapped to first black family of Westeros, intentional casting of Non-binary for the MAIN character, 10min scene completely invented to feature turbotranny faggot (100% diversity casting) AND complete desecration of the source material

Do you ever get tired of being wrong Chris?

Putting aside all of that - the actual show just isn't very good. You can excuse season 1 as setting up the storyline but season 2 was a disaster

I'm not wrong, you just don't like that I'm right or at least have a difference of opinion. That's not the same thing.

The newest Star Wars show had no white men in it right? House of the Dragon is at least 40% white men. The US is about 30% white men.

Rings of Power is taking well understood lore of a beloved literary masterpiece and changing most of it. House of the Dragon is changing a couple of details to adapt a few pages of a spin off history book of an above average book.

The show is meant to have shocking things in it, why can't the show have a tranny pirate captain?

I never understood why a marriage alliance wasn't proposed in their first meeting, would have solved literally all of the many issues of competing claims.

We had to suffer a retarded soap opera will they won't they storyline, when really it should have been about showing them falling in love for real before the betrayal.

Because they were trying to mirror her turning into the mad queen like her father. She had every reason to hate the seven kingdoms after what they did to her family. But she was also slipping into madness to mirror the events that kicked off the series to begin with.
