The second season of House of the Dragon It officially began last Sunday, June 16. This series characterized by intrigue and blood did not fail to deliver both with its first episode by giving us a fairly important death, although a little different from what happened in the book. Spoilers for those who haven’t seen it yet.
The first episode of the second season of House of the Dragon introduced us to Queen Rhaenyra’s revenge for the death of her son. To do this, Daemon hires a pair of assassins with the intention of assassinating Aemond. However, failing to find him, they end the life of Jaehaerys, one of Helaena’s twin sons.
In both the book and the series, the fate of Helaena’s son is the same. However, in print it is told in a much more violent way, while in the series the cruelty of his death was simply implied. Obviously because of the format and the fact that it is a more massive medium.
Some Internet users fans of House of the Dragon and the book on which it is based began to complain about this difference. However, it is quite understandable that they did it. Even so, it does not change the visceral fact and the consequences that this exchange of son for son will bring. Do you think HBO was right not to show it graphically?
What can we expect from House of the Dragon?
After this first episode, a preview was shown with something of what we can expect for the second season of House of the Dragon. The war for the throne between Rhaenyra and Aegon will be launched with both sides looking for the best alliances to triumph.
It should be noted that this story is a prequel to Game of Thrones that takes place more than 100 years before the events of this series. Here we see the fall of House Targaryen due to their power struggles and the war known as the Dance of Dragons. Are you already seeing it?
