'House Of The Dragon': Why Rhaenys Chose Not To Kill The Greens
WARNING! SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x09, 'The Green Council'. War is coming. In the penultimate episode of House of the Dragon's first season, we learn that King Viserys has finally succumbed to the flesh-eating disease he has been battling for most of the series, and tragically, a misunderstanding of Viserys's final words has left his wife, Alicent, believing he wants their son Aegon to succede him, rather than his oldest daughter, and Alicent's childhood friend, Princess Rhaenyra. This is music to the ears of Alicent's Father Otto, who had been secretly planning to crown Aegon anyway, regardless of the late King's wishes.

'She-Hulk' Finale: How Jen's Fourth Wall Smash Paves The Way For Deadpool's MCU Debut
WARNING: SPOILERS for She-Hulk: Attorney-At-Law 1x09, 'Whose Show Is This?' Since it's premiere, She-Hulk: Attorney-At-Law has set itself apart as a unique entry in the MCU, giving us a glimpse at everyday life in the MCU through the eyes of a character who just happens to have gained superpowers. However, the show's first season finale, 'Whose Show is This?', throws out the regular MCU formula entirely. When Jen decides she dislikes the path her finale is taking, she smashes the fourth wall, exiting the show entirely and venturing into Marvel Studios in the hope of fixing her issues with the plot.

'House Of The Dragon': How The Show's Version Of 'The Prince That Was Promised' Prophecy Invalidates One Of The Biggest Complaints About 'Game Of Thrones' Season Eight
WARNING: SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x08, 'The Lord of the Tides'. Episode eight of House of the Dragon gave us what is supposed to be the series final time jump, and with it, the series biggest and most significant death so far: King Viserys I Targaryen. Viserys health has been slowly declining over the course of the series, but in 'The Lord of The Tides', he manages to rally one last time to defend the rights of his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra, and attend a last supper during which he manages to briefly reunite his fractured family.

'House Of The Dragon': Why It Is Customary For Taragaryens To Inter-Marry
WARNING: SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x07. Sometimes, the rules of Westeros can be confusing. While in Game of Thrones, the incestuous love story of Jaime and Cersei Lannister would have meant their deaths had it become common knowledge, the most recent prequel series House of the Dragon has Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen marrying her Uncle, Prince Daemon, and Rhaenyra's half-siblings Aegon and Helaena betrothed to each other, without anyone batting an eye.

'House Of The Dragon': Why Vhagar Is A Big Loss For Rhaenyra And The Blacks
WARNING: SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x07, 'Driftmark'. The simmering tension between Queen Alicent's Greens and Princess Rhaenyra's Blacks boils over in House of the Dragon's seventh episode. A disagreement over the ownership of the dragon Vhagar leads to a brawl, during which Rhaenyra's second son, Lucerys Velaryon, gouges out the eye of Alicent's own second son, Aemond Targaryen, when Aemond openly accuses Lucerys and his older brother, Jacaerys, of being the bastard children of the recently deceased heir to Harrenhal, Ser Harwin Strong.

'House Of The Dragon': A History Of The Curse Of Harrenhal
WARNING! SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x06, 'The Princess and The Queen'. Ever since the day the great stone castle of Harrenhal was completed, many of the people of Westeros have considered it cursed, and for good reason. Lords who take the seat of Harrenhal are prone to meeting an unfortunate end, or facing otherwise bad luck, sometimes before even setting foot inside the castle itself. While it has not often been discussed onscreen, we saw the bad luck associated with Harrenhal throughout Game Of Thrones, and we are seeing it again in the series' prequel, House of The Dragon, through the recent tragic fate of Lord Lyonel Strong and his eldest son, Harwin.

'House Of The Dragon': Why Queen Alicent's Grand Entrance May Be The Most Pivotal Moment Of The Series So Far
WARNING! SPOILERS for House Of The Dragon 1x05, 'We Light The Way'. Any Game Of Thrones fan will know that nothing good happens at a wedding in Westeros. It is far more likely for the event to end in tragedy than with the couple happily wed. Game Of Thrones prequel House Of The Dragon continues this unfortunate tradition.

6 Scarlet Witch-Centric Comics Worth Catching Up On Before Her New Solo Series Begins
