House Of The Dragon star Tom Glynn-Carney has suggested that predecessor show Game Of Thrones strayed “close to oversexualising women”.The prequel series, which has just returned for its second season, follows events in Westeros 200 years before Game Of Thrones, with Glynn-Carney portraying reigning King, Aegon II Targaryen.The original series drew controversy at the time over its treatment of women, and the actor reflected on House Of The Dragon paring down on sex and nudity.“I presumed that they would,” he told The Independent.“That they would take a different approach, because it did feel like maybe Game Of Thrones was too close to oversexualising women, and that wouldn’t be cool if they did that this time. I thought they were suitably delicate and took a better, more sustainable angle.”Back in 2016, Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke – who played Daenerys Targaryen – addressed criticism over the show’s treatment of women.“There’s so much controversy.
Yet that’s what’s beautiful about Game Of Thrones – its depiction of women in so many different stages of development,” she told Entertainment Weekly at the time.“There are women depicted as sexual tools, women who have zero rights, women who are queens but only to a man, and then there are women who are literally unstoppable and as powerful as you can possibly imagine.“So it pains me to hear people taking Thrones out of context with anti-feminist spin – because you can’t do that about this show. It shows the range that happens to women and ultimately shows women are not only equal, but have a lot of strength.”Back in 2022 upon the release of the first season, author George RR Martin addressed claims that House Of The Dragon was anti-women, notably the fact that a queen

House Of The Dragon was cut from the show.During a new interview with Elle, Cooke – who portrays Alicent Hightower in the Game Of Thrones prequel series – explained that the scene in question was “messy as fuck”.“It wasn’t beautiful, and that was really fun to do,” the actor continued, describing the racy moment as “carnal” and “animalistic”.“I think Ryan [Condal, showrunner] said we weren’t learning any more about the characters, which I disagree with slightly, but it’s OK. It’s his show,” Cooke continued.She then suggested that the scene could be released as part of a blooper reel.Cooke, who worked closely with House Of The Dragon’s intimacy coordinator Vanessa Coffey, said: “I thought there’d be way more [sex scenes], and so I’m relieved that when it has been used for me, it’s showing Alicent being pleasured, which is amazing and doesn’t feel gratuitous.
House Of The Dragon has created a significant plot hole in Game Of Thrones lore.The first episode of season two aired on HBO in the US on June 17, with UK viewers able to watch concurrently via Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW.In the episode, Cregan Stark relays a story from years earlier that King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne’s dragons were unable to go beyond the Wall, the home of Jon Snow.This appears to be in direct contradiction to the facts established in Game Of Thrones itself, in which Daenerys Targaryen did cross the Wall in an attempt to save Jon Snow.Despite the Lord of Winterfell’s dragons being seemingly more powerful than Daenerys’, it is made clear that at least two of them were unable to cross the Wall, with no logical explanation offered.In other House of the Dragon-related news, it was confirmed yesterday that a new Game Of Thrones spin-off series was in production, tentatively titled A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.The series, which is adapted from George R.
