Will I understand “House of the Dragon” if I haven’t seen “House of Gucci”?

i think it’s very funny that the house of the dragon guys are like “we want to reflect the misogyny of the time period” the time period is the twelfth of makebelieve. it’s the 149th year of sir gooby the dragonfoot. it’s the eighth age of targabargabor. it’s literally made up

matt smith is such a good casting choice in house of the dragon bc he has that ‘handsome, but not in a way where you can rule out inbreeding’ type of look that’s perfect for a targaryen

Say what you will, “House of Dragons” sounds exactly like what you’d call the “Game of Thrones” DVD knockoff that is sold in gas stations

The ending to Game of Thrones was a total letdown, bro. We never got Jon Snow vs The Night King. Jaime left Brienne to keep fucking his sister. My favorite character Daenerys murdered literally everyone. And Bran ended up as King. But you should still watch House of the Dragon… pic.twitter.com/YSwTdF6cvU

House of the Dragon feels like riding with a drunk driver. I’m clocking some mistakes and it could easily turn into a catastrophe, but it’s the only show trying to take me to Taco Bell

Zaslav just found out “House of the Dragon” isn’t a DIY reality series about a couple who renovate dilapidated Medieval Times venues. Absolutely furious now.

I can’t believe I need to say this but before your watch “House of the Dragon” you should really make sure to finish season 2 of FBOY Island or else you’re going to miss a lot of references
