Off Topic Thoughts on House of the Dragon?

[PurpleGorilla]

It's premiering in two days.

What do you think? Will you be watching it? Do you want it to succeed? Or do you want it to flop?

Personally, I'm still bitter about the last season of Game of Thrones, and can't really stomach watching anything vaguely related to George R. R. Martin for the foreseeable future.

House of the Dragon needs to be mindblowingly stunning and interesting for me to want to watch it, so I don't think I ever will. Unfortunately.

Definitely going to wait and see the reviews. Don’t wanna invest time into another got failure

This. I think it is the better option

Well Benioff and Weiss aren't attached to it so there could be potential

 

[mr.dinosaur]

im hopeful
despite got being handled so poorly i think that this has a chance of being good
im cautiously optimistic tho
ill probably watch it since i dont really have anything else going on

 

[JoeQwerty]

I'm over it unless it's just insanely good and manages to drag me back in. It's not the time period I wanted.

Am tentatively excited for it, but hope it’s great

Cautiously optimistic. The world has always been compelling, I just hope they give us a story that measures up.

Should hopefully be pretty good. It being based on a completed story should hopefully mean they cant fuck up it too much.

 

[Superelasticfantastico]

I’m gonna watch it with cautious optimism. It can’t be any worse than the last season of GoT was, that’s about as bad as a show can get.

I think it will be a lot like season 1. The story should be more connected without the Wall and Essos stuff.

 

[Who R Whores]

ill probably watch the big epic battle scenes on youtube if i come across them. not interested in anything else from GOT after the last season, the GOT franchise is permanently sullied. i have plenty of other shows and movies to watch that i can get invested in

 

[Interficio]

The last season really killed a lot of my "passion" for game of thrones. I'll watch it eventually, but I feel like any investment that the series/books had built in me was really spent.

Hopefully it proves me wrong though, but I think its very hard to come back from such a poor ending.

 

[the-hare]

I think it'll be average/good but people will be worried because of how badly GoT ended
