War is coming to the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel—but it's not here quite yet.
When House of the Dragon premiered in 2022, the stench of Game of Thrones’ final, disappointing season hung over it. That probably worked in the spinoff’s favor, or at least it did for me. I came to the new show with relatively low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by the first season prequel, based on George RR Martin’s faux history Fire & Blood.
Where Thrones often treated women’s naked bodies as accessories to be ogled and occasionally raped, Dragon declared its intention from the start to be more cautious about the use of sexual violence. Instead of graphic sex scenes, we got graphic childbirths in which the show’s writers drilled into viewers’ minds the perilous role of women in this barbaric world.
