House of Dragons

Post by TusharJoshi »

Game of Thrones had a bittersweet ending and left fans with mixed emotions. Now the trailer for 'House of Dragons' is here. What do you expect from the new series? Will it live up to its expectations?

The series might benefit from lowered expectations following the controversial eighth season of Thrones. I really don't know how good it will be, but I'll probably give it a chance.

I agree. The underwhelming ending of GOT will definitely have an impact on the series. It would be great if it would match the level of the first few GOT seasons.

I think it will have the spectacle of later GOT, especially with the dragons, and I'm hoping the great writing and world building like early GOT. HBO knows this is their flagship franchise so let's hope they do it justice.

I can't wait to see it, but it will be difficult for this spin-off to be as good as GoT. If the same directors and producers were involved I would be more hopeful.

I don't think it make too much of an impression. I mean let's be honest, it could never compete with the Game of Thrones.

I've been seeing people hyping this movie here and then but I'm sceptical about watching it. I'm not sure if it would be as good as game of thrones. I really hope it's better than GOT though, I don't really like the way they ended GOT

I just watched the whole season and I'm beyond amazed. Loved every detail and I hope they don't ruin it in the next seasons.

I just watched it and it was exceptional. It lived up to the hype and was very amazing.
