Clear camps with motications make for better storytelling, which is what made House of the Dragon episode 7 better than the preceding episodes, while Rings of Power episode 6 played around with the differences between protagonists and antagonists.

We're calling this mini series of watching the episode of Rings of Power and House of the Dragon: House of Power. This week, Rings of Power was about building alliances, while the House of the Dragon was about replacing actors and confuding us for half the episode.

Both Rings of Power and House of the Dragon are fantasy prequels, but while the first was well conceived with many characters, some known and others new, the House of the Dragon doesn't know what it is and we don't know nor care about the characters.

House of the Dragon seems to double down on its contempt towards regular people, peasants and servants. Is this the creators' perspective or is this subvrsive?

The House of the Dragon and the Rings of Power are basically telling the same story: both are prequels looking for the time it all went wrong and led society towards the disaster we know is coming. But these two shows have starkly different perspectives on what the problem was and is, and it is very revealing of their creators.

In the second episode of House of the Dragon, we got a glimpse at the hard life of princes and princesses. They have it tough. Support the show > https://www.patreon.com/m/adof
