House Of The Dragon's Iron Throne Story Has 1 Major Advantage Over GOT
House of the Dragon will be depicting another fight for the Iron Throne, but its Targaryen heir story has one major advantage over Game of Thrones. In both House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, the prominent characters are fighting for power on the Iron Throne, with each noble house taking a side for which king or queen deserves the crown. While Game of Thrones had several characters from different houses trying to stake a claim for their place on the Iron Throne, House of the Dragon will be a massive battle between two heirs, both of whom belong to House Targaryen’s family tree.
One of House of the Dragon’s greatest strengths will be its Targaryen Civil War premise, as the entire realm will be split between their loyalties to one of two heirs to King Viserys I. Unlike Game of Thrones, which began with five kings vying for the Iron Throne, audiences will only have to decide whether Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen or Prince Aegon II Targaryen has the best claim to the crown. House of the Dragon has also revealed that its timeline will begin long before the Dance of the Dragons in 129 AC, as the childhoods of both Rhaenyra and Aegon II in King’s Landing will be depicted while their father reigns as King of Westeros. The character development of the two characters vying for the Iron Throne will thus also be particularly strong, with House of the Dragon establishing the future trajectories of Rhaenyra and Aegon II Targaryen very early on.
