All the wildest House of the Dragon hot takes, according to Reddit
Some truly crazy opinions lurk on that website
With a show as big as House of the Dragon, it’s inevitable that there are a hell of a lot of fan theories that people have and are in dying need to discuss. Where else better to do this than Reddit, of course? Not that much of them have anything interesting to say and are actually just arguing about whether or not they’re a homophobic viewer or not – but still. Some brave soul on the House of the Dragon Reddit opened the floor by asking for the wildest hot takes people have. Let’s just say, the floodgates have been opened. Here are the wildest hot takes on House of the Dragon, as per the beef on Reddit.
‘Many viewers mirror the men in the show – misogynistic and homophobic’
This one comes straight from the backlash of the same sex kiss from this week’s episode, which has ridiculously seen the episode review bombed on IMDb. Of all the hot takes mentioned in this piece from Reddit, this House of the Dragon one has clearly been proved to be gospel.
One person said them, and I need to echo them “In an incest-filled show, priorities right?”
‘The girls rule, boys drool theme is getting tiresome’
Is something I would personally never say! And I’m a man! A hot take indeed, bro. Men suck!
‘ The season has been absolutely phenomenal and I think the people who find it boring just don’t care about the Dance and the characters that much in the first place’

This one kind of caused a lot of controversy, because despite the fact a lot of the show has had a lot of acclaim – clearly not all fans are satisfied. One responded “Well whose fault is it if people don’t care about the characters lol? (it’s the writers)” Ate that up tbh.
‘Daemon’s shenanigans in Harrenhal are good and building up to something important’
Sometimes one has to simply persevere with mystery to get good pay off. Such is a TV fact of life.
‘Rhaenyra taking Nettles story is greater than anything Nettles could offer us narrative wise’
This Nettles slander. Nettles is catching strays on Reddit!
‘Emma D’Arcy is not that great as Rhaenyra. Their voice is beautiful, but we needed someone with more fire in them’
Can’t believe this one. Need everyone to get real right now. There are hot takes and then there is pure evil!
‘I do think the pacing is a problem. The characters don’t seem to show the kind of urgency you’d expect when there’s a continent-spanning civil war’
I do agree with this one, and it’s a major flaw I also had with Game of Thrones. It’s like the story is too big for characters and direction sometimes.
‘All the amazing factors like dragons, VFX, stellar actors and yet the show feels empty somehow’
Quite savage to be fair. Classic Reddit.
