House of the Dragon Showrunner on Rhaenyra-Daenerys Throne Parallels
A person who makes the TV show House of the Dragon talked about the show's ending.
He said House of the Dragon and another show, Game of Thrones, are like mirrors of each other.
Both shows are about a special chair called the Iron Throne.
The throne makes people want it very badly.
He said this is a big idea in the whole story world.
He compared two queens: Rhaenyra and Daenerys.
Daenerys only sat on the throne at the very end, after she had destroyed a city.
Rhaenyra actually got to sit on the throne and tried to keep it.
The throne changed Rhaenyra while she held it.
He said people will notice these similarities, whether they are planned or just in the background.
The showrunner said the original series and the spinoff mirror each other across both seasons.
He described the draw of the Iron Throne as an existential theme spanning the entire universe.
He noted Daenerys only reached the Iron Throne at the very end, after destroying the city.
Rhaenyra experiences having the throne, trying to hold it, and being turned and changed by it.
He said viewers will see parallels that are either intentional or subliminal.
