Kristian Nairn (Hodor) defends Daenerys and the end of Game of Thrones

Five years after the end of Game of Thrones, the HBO series is still being talked about. Beyond the obvious links and connections with House of the Dragon, it is indeed the end of the series that is being debated. Heavily criticized by viewers, it can count on the support of the actors and actresses, who come to its rescue. This time, this is the case of Kristian Nairn, who played the kind Hodor until season 6.

In an interview for Screenrant,The Northern Irish actor has spoken at length about the negative criticisms made about the end of season 8, in particular about the change in Daenerys' behavior, going from a liberating figure to a true despot who swears only by flames.

It wasn't perfect, no. But you also have to keep in mind that I'm not a writer, and neither are 99.99 percent of people. So [the response] really disappointed me. I don't think they could have finished it in a way that people would have been happy with. There's never been a show in the history of television, I think – maybe Breaking Bad – where people were so invested in their characters and I think everyone had their own fantasy about what was going to happen at the end with Daenerys, and any deviation from that, especially such an extreme deviation, would have been frustrating. the spectators.”

<p>Indeed, warning signs of her tendency towards violence have been left throughout the series. All of these actions can be interpreted as potential signals to become a ruthless leader. On the other hand, the loss of her close friends like Missandei and Jorah Mormont as well as two of her dragons only worsened her paranoia and distrust of the people of Westeros. Kristian Nairn regrets, however, that there were not more episodes to spread this conclusion.</p><!-- adman_adcode (middle, 1) --><a href=200% Deposit Bonus up to €3,000 180% First Deposit Bonus up to $20,000

Although people say that Daenerys acted out of character, I don't understand how they couldn't see it throughout the series. The signs were there, guys. She said at one point that as soon as Drogon was old enough, she was going to burn King's Landing. And what happened? She did exactly what she said. The only criticism I have, and it's not really a criticism, because I understand the budget issues and all that, but I just wish it had been longer.

I don't think those longer episodes worked. I think it would have been better to have more episodes. There was a little bit of Michael Bay in the last season with the explosions and a lot of dragons. They gave us a little bit of that, which made us want to eat it, and then all of a sudden they were like, “Your dinner is here, maybe it's not as appetizing as you thought.” Sometimes the idea of ​​dinner is better than dinner. People who say, “This is crap.” But what are you talking about?

<h2>Is House of the Dragon up to Game of Thrones?</h2>
<p>The actor also lent himself to the inevitable comparison between the parent series and its spin-off <em>House of The Dragon</em>. It's hard to judge a series after two short seasons, however, <strong>the actor who plays Hodor praises a first season <em>“out of the ordinary”</em>.</strong>Although he finds its sequel slightly below par, he praises the work done by HBO and the quality of the staging of the dragons.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Of course I compare them. I think season 1 was off the charts. I think it was almost as good as Game of Thrones. I don't think the same about season 2, but I can say that without being negative. I don't think it's bad. I really like it, but for me it's something different. I love fantasy in all its forms and I love the dragons in the series.</p>

Season 2 of House of the Dragon has not received the same glowing reception as its predecessor. After the pleasant surprise of the first season, fans criticized a series of restricted councils between the green and black camps, and sequences around Daemon at Harrenhal deemed unnecessary. This is to the detriment of an action that is slow to come. Indeed, many have shown themselves disappointed by a fireworks display that was announced, but which ultimately was not fired in the final episode.

On his famous blog, the author of the Game of Thrones saga George R.R. Martin also allowed himself to say “everything that was wrong” about this season 2. His criticisms can be read right here.
