House of the Dragon: absurd reviews?
Launched on June 16, 2024, season 2 of House of the Dragonmarks the great return of the universe ofGame of Throneson the small screen, after two years of expectations which seemed like nothing. hard an eternity. After the tragic events of the season 1 finale, the war between the Blacks and the Greens is now inexorable, and despite this, the war between the Blacks and the Greens is now inexorable. Rhaenyra's attempts to maintain the peace of the Kingdombequeathed to him by his father. However, with the siege of Rooks' Rest at the end of episode 4 and the relative victory of the Greens, the Dance of the Dragons has well and truly begun.
À this title, episode 6 released on the night of July 21 to 22, is particularly rich: while the Greens try to reorganize around Prince Aemond following the serious injuries he inflicted à his brother King Aegon II Targaryen,blacks are forced to call on new dragon riders, who are not from the Targaryen family.

However, some fans seem particularly hostile to the game. the way in which the first spin-off series ofGame of Thronesevolves. As evidenced by the review bombing which was carried out by the victim season 2 episode 6.The day after its broadcast, the episode had the lowest rating on IMDb (6.4/10), with some 5.5 thousand users giving it the highest rating. the score of 1/10. Why does the episode provoke such harsh reactions? Two main reasons are put forward on social networks and on the IMDb site.
First, the kiss between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Lady Mysaria caused the anger of many spectators who screamed to pro-LGBT wokism. Note also thatthere is nothing to suggest a lesbian romance between Queen Targaryen and her mistress of the whisperers; the kiss in question seems above all to testify to a deep feeling of complicity. between the two women, in a scene where each felt vulnerable.
Then, the wanderings and visions of Daemon Targaryen within Harrenhal irritates a certain number of fans of the series, who consider that these scenes delay the arrival of the big battles. We can, however, advocate for the series by arguing that these visions allow us to highlight the contradictory feelings of a fascinating character, and that they will undoubtedly have consequences. on the rest of the series.
We can, moreover, be pleased that House of the Dragon knows how to take its time with develop its characters rather than favoring pure action, as the showrunners of Game of Thrones were able to do in the last seasons of the series – a choice that was made for them. repeatedly criticized for Since. Especially since Daemon's visions in episode 6, which featured his brother Viserys I Targaryen, always interpreted as by the excellent Paddy Considine, were emotionally very charged.
