Analyzing the first House of the Dragon photos

The Guardian

The HBO prequel series released three images from the Game of Thrones prequel series on Wednesday. But the first one, depicting Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy as platinum blondes Prince Daemon Targaryen and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, "is the most classically Targaryen picture of the lot," says Stuart Heritage. "It’s the one that looks like the messy aftermath of a semi-ironic Emilia Clarke cosplay party. It’s the one where you realise that every single member of House Targaryen has looked identical for centuries, and that the whole clan is probably horribly inbred, and that there’s a good chance that the reason why Daenerys turned into Dragon Hitler at the end of Game of Thrones was because she suffered from a severe genetic deficiency. It’s the one where you think 'Ooh, who is that sexy young lady?' and then realize that it’s actually Matt Smith."
