When it comes to journalistic integrity, one should aspire to remain as unbiased as possible. However, when it comes to House of the Dragon and the Targaryen dynasty, unfortunately, I have to go Team Black! Rhaenyra is the one true king of Westros, and everyone knows it!

Enter the ‘House of the Dragon’ as New Teaser Trailer Debuts

October 5, 2021October 5, 2021 Mike Manalo

Let’s address the elephant in the room. Game of Thrones did not end well. For every brilliant season the show had, there was an episode in the final season that disappointed fans. But whatever the case, the fact of the matter remains, before GoT there had never been anything like it on television ever, and still isn’t.

And yet none of them ever matched the sheer scale or cinematic quality of fantasy storytelling that the original show achieved.

I’m up to bat this time, though I usually recap The Legend of Korra, I hope I don’t slip and accidentally call Daenerys Targaryen a Firebender. I align Chaotic Good, and therefore am House Targaryen all the way. I’m also a hardcore Brienne-Jaime ‘shipper, but that’s a discussion for another day.

To whet your appetite, I list six reasons why I imagine Dany, Mother of Dragons, just might be Asian… or at least she should be.
