While many House of the Dragon fans are now trying to stay away from social media for fear of accidentally stumbling upon a spoiler before the season two premiere, those who have already read George R.R. Martin's novel and know exactly how events will turn out are happy to discuss the details.
If you're not afraid of spoilers and can't wait to find out who will win the war and which characters won't live to see the victory, check out the book-accurate predictions of how the show will end the story.

Game of Thrones the television series officially ended in 2019. But the popularity of the show continues to this day. Both because of the original novels the show was based on, and the tv spinoffs still being produced today. The Game of Thrones fandom is a highly active one, especially on the internet.
This high level of engagement means the series is constantly being discussed and dissected. One site where such discussions take place frequently is Reddit, where netizens like to come up with fan theories regarding their favorite characters. Let’s take a look at a fan theory from six years ago made by a user over at the Game of Thrones subreddit regarding the true nature of the relationship between Sansa Stark and Sandor Clegane. Namely, that Sandor might secretly be a version of Sansa’s murdered direwolf.

“All This I Will Give To You” (“Tout cela je te le donnerai”) is a suspenseful, if somewhat soapy, mystery/drama set around a lavish French vineyard and estate. The French TV miniseries opens with a fatal car crash on a rural road. Switch to Paris, where successful novelist Manuel Ortega (David Kammenos) is struggling to finish his latest overdue novel. He’s soon awakened by gendarmes informing him that his husband of six years had a fatal accident in rural France. Manuel is baffled because his mate, Aymeric (Alexis Loret) was supposedly on a business trip to Brussels.
We soon learn that Aymeric is the son of a wealthy marquis who’d inherited the title and responsibility for running the family business and properties, of which Manuel knew nothing. We shortly understand why.

The decline of Game of Thrones as a series has been one of the greatest tragedies in Hollywood. The series’ ending has been regarded as one of the most controversial in the history of television. While there were many reasons for such a big claim, Daenerys Targaryen’s decline into insanity and the suddenness of it can be labeled as the root cause.

George R. R. Martin’s incredible vision and spectacular scale in Game of Thrones was one that was coveted by many but treasured by few. Those few were allowed to extend their arms in order to reach for their dreams after HBO offered them immortality through an opportunity to star in the series. But it was one among the select few who was born with the greatest luck of them all.

However, his mastery over such incredible story arcs and unimpeachable plotlines makes the audience feel the weight of patience.

Game of Thrones throws its audience into the dangerous world of medieval power struggle; and while swords and fire are effective at waging wars, only political moves can prevent them. Lords and ladies of Westeros have been making political marriages for countless centuries, securing alliances and realm peace that way — and just like in the real world, those marriages rarely benefitted the wife.
After marrying a lord, a lady lost her home, family, and even her last name… Except that didn’t happen to every lady. How was Cersei Lannister different from the rest?
Not All Marriages Are Deemed Equal
In the vast majority of cases, a husband’s last name takes over after marriage. Catelyn Tully became Stark after marrying Lord Eddard; her sister Lysa became Arryn after marrying Lord Jon; and so on, and so forth. But there’s one and only case where that doesn’t happen,...

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question. Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker.
Of course, since this is indeed an important list, have decided to report on it, so we are going to bring you the results by listing the top 10 characters on this list, from 10th to first place.
10. Pennywise
Played by: Tim Curry
The source of many children’s nightmares, the original Pennywise was absolutely amazing and Tim Curry’s performance is still so memorable. Undoubtedly one of the best TV villains of all time, we’d put him even higher on the list.

To watch Game of Thrones is to put oneself in the headspace of the people who populate its world. And what typically roams through their minds? Ambition, anxiety, fear, fury, and lust (we mustn't forget about lust) — fraught emotional elements that, once combined, resulted in turning Thrones into HBO's most popular series.
It's still remarkable how infectious the show was at its peak before the adaptable material dried up and its overall quality dimmed and later died. Example: In the penultimate episode of Season 1, when Ned Stark (Sean Bean) was executed on the orders of the cruel boy-king Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), viewers demanded satisfaction — nay, retribution! — alongside Ned's survivors. Tuning in for Season 2 was compulsory.

Say what you will of the Netflix era of "Black Mirror," but there's at least one episode everyone agrees is pretty great. "USS Callister," the season 4 premiere centered around a guy who reveals his ugly side in his own personal VR video game, is a clear fan favorite. What made it so good? Well, there's the way it gives us the usual final act twist surprisingly early on, revealing that it's Nanette (Cristin Milioti) who's our actual, far-more-likeable protagonist. Then there's the way the episode's main setting, a "Star Trek"-inspired virtual reality world that the characters are left to explore, leads to so many more storytelling opportunities ahead of them. (That's why the news that the episode's getting a sequel shouldn't be too surprising.)
But the main appeal of "USS Callister" is just how emotionally resonant its main plot point is. Seemingly nice guy Robert Daly is gradually revealed...

When it comes to films and TV shows, no matter how exceptionally well they started, no matter how amazingly well they continued, if it doesn’t have an equally exceptional, or at least satisfactory conclusion, then it all comes crashing down. Game of Thrones being the perfect example.
This HBO series was such a groundbreaking and revolutionary piece of television entertainment that it completely changed what the silver screen stood for. But alas, due to a horrible last season, people remember it with more disappointment than reverence.

Naturally, it came as a shock to the audience as to how the co-creators of the show, David Benioff and D.B Weiss, could’ve missed the mark so badly, but it wasn’t a shock to them. In fact, they expected some amount of backlash from the fandom, but not to this extent.

No fandom has seen death quite like the fandom of Game of Thrones. Neither the widely popular television series nor the source material ever shied away from killing people left and right. While some deaths were too gut-wrenching to watch and made viewers shed some serious tears, others were quite satisfying to watch, to say the least.

It’s always good to see the bad guys finally pay the price of their actions with their lives. Bonus points if the death ends up being as gruesome as possible and Game of Thrones is no stranger to this.

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss did a show full of death. But one in particular resonated.
Appearing on a new episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the showrunners were asked to name their favorite character death.
“With Thrones, there was so much killing of good guys,” Weiss said, “and we finally got to really kill both Joffrey in season 4 and Ramsay Bolton in season 6. It was fun to go back to the old-fashioned joys of just killing off a really bad guy.”
Bolton, played by Iwan Rheon, was one of the most evil characters in the series. Thus, his death by being devoured by hounds “felt like it was balancing the scales a little,” Weiss said.
Benioff agreed about Bolton’s death. “You don’t really see the death. You see some of it in the background, but you don’t really see the death,” he said. “What you...

Imagine a world where your most beloved television characters could run for president. Sounds like a great idea, right? Now, consider some of those characters actually being in office.
Part of what makes certain television characters so enticing is their flaws, but those flaws could translate badly in positions of power.
Some are hilariously incompetent, while others are downright dangerous and power-hungry. Either way, it's not the best mix.
While it would be hilarious to imagine some of these characters running the United States, some of our top picks are a real horror show when it comes to how they use their power and influence in their own respective universes.

Here’s How House Of The Dragon Characters Are Connected To Game Of Thrones Characters ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
The House of the Dragon Season 2 trailer has left everyone waiting eagerly for what’s to come, and before it’s here, let’s brush your knowledge on it in connection to Game of Thrones. Firstly, the series is set over 150 years before Game of Thrones took place. Therefore, the characters from Got might not appear in this spin-off, but the houses in Got are also present in the Hotd. The show’s primary focus is the Targaryens and their downfall, but other Houses have appeared in the first season, and more will be seen in the upcoming one. From Lannisters to Baratheons and Starks, here’s a quick guide.
The first season of the HBO series was just a tease and had set the stage for the Dance of the Dragons to begin.

Who has a better rogues gallery than Batman? Sure, the X-Men have some greats in Magneto, Stryker, and Mr. Sinister. And Spider-Man’s got the Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Mysterio. But none of these baddies can touch the denizens of Arkham Asylum for their variety and malleability. Even if film adaptations keep going back to the same few characters, the psychologically twisted enemies offer room for multiple interpretations, allowing actors to find something different to each version.
But as great as they are, some Batman villains are better than others, allowing for a clear ranking of all the Bat-Baddies.
First, Batman may not have any limitations, but this list does. This ranking only covers live-action theatrical feature films. So we’re leaving off characters that never made it to the movies or those who appeared in an animated movie.
Furthermore, we’re focusing mostly on costumed villains, not regular thugs,...

"Game of Thrones" had it all. Dragons, controversies, book readers trying to keep from spoiling non-book readers, intense fear of character deaths, and one of television's best team-ups: The Hound (Rory McCann) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams). Sandor Clegane, aka the Hound, had a rough start in life, with his brother Gregor sticking his head in a fire for playing with one of Gregor's toys. He was the bodyguard to the evil little Prince Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) and later took to the road with Arya.
The Hound's turn from a total jerk to Arya's protector of sorts (not that she ever needed one) and ... dare I say, friend ... was one of the best parts of the show. The banter between the two of them ended up being some of the most delightful moments, and if they'd just shown us endless episodes of the Hound and Arya show, I would have tuned in every week.

The night is dark and full of complaints about the final season of "Game of Thrones." Yes, we know it's been well over four years since the highly divisive finale to what many once considered to be one of the best shows while it was on the air. But it's one thing for fans to refuse to move on; it's another thing altogether for the actual cast to be the ones still expressing their disappointment over how creators and showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff brought the story to an end.
As much as Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen and her descent into outright villainy tends to represent everything that fans consider lackluster (to put it mildly) about the last stretch of episodes, let's not forget all the collateral damage along the way. One such victim was Varys, the "Master of Whisperers" who played such a crucial role throughout much of the series.

London, July 28 (Ians) Irish actor Jack Gleeson, who plays the cruel and sadistic King Joffrey Baratheon in ‘Game of Thrones’, is set to feature in the TV adaptation of Enid Blyton’s ‘The Famous Five’ novels, and by the first look of his character, it appears to be another villainous one.
Gleeson has transformed into Wentworth for a first-look at the BBC’s reboot of ‘The Famous Five’ and looks very different from his role as Joffrey Baratheon.
His fair golden hair, which was synonymous with the Lannisters in ‘Game of Thrones’ is gone and instead, Gleeson cuts a rather villainous figure, as per Express UK.
The actor sports short dark locks and a thin moustache as he shoots a terrifying look at the camera.
His character Wentworth is dressed in a blue pinstripe suit with white shirt and striped scarf, which is fastened in a bow.

This article contains spoilers for season one of House of the Dragon and for all of Game of Thrones.
In a 2018 video released on YouTube by publishers Random House when promoting the release of Fire & Blood (the book HBO’s House of the Dragon is partially based on), George R.R. Martin was asked “Which Targaryen is your favorite?” He said, “I’m notorious for my love of gray characters, and one of the grayest characters in the entire history of Westeros is Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince.” Truer words were never spoken – Daemon Targaryen is an enigma, a highly unpredictable character who seems sometimes to be the villain and sometimes the hero of the show. But we have seen this type of character in Westeros before, in Game of Thrones’ Jaime Lannister.
There are quite a few superficial similarities between Jaime and Daemon. They are both blonde; they are both...

Pedro Pascal is the kind of star who seems like he became a success overnight. But of course, appearances can be deceiving. The actor worked in film and television for 15 years before landing what was his first big break on Game of Thrones. Yet, even with his role on that show, perhaps what fans – and Pascal himself – remember most is his epic death scene.

Game of Thrones, of course, premiered on HBO back in 2011. And the show soon gained attention for its complex storytelling, ensemble cast, and uncompromising approach to sex and violence. During its run, much of its cast found their breakthrough roles, including supporting players and even recurring characters like Pascal’s Oberyn Martell.
The character emerges in Game of Thrones Season 4 to attend Joffrey’s (Jack Gleeson) wedding.
