I'm not entirely sure why this is but maybe it's maybe our personal history with being horrified by things like Ned Stark Being beheaded in the first season of Game of thrones where I just thought "This was the ONLY redeemable character pretty much in the whole series and I have to watch him become headless?"
So, I stopped watching Game of Thrones for a year or two after that upsetting experience. However, eventually I came back to it within 2 to 3 years when people were raving about it more online and on air.
But, it took me a lot to get reinvested in Game of Thrones after the Death of Ned Stark.
So, maybe this is why I tend to be more leery of House of the Dragons because of this personal experience with Game of Thrones.
However, most of my experiences with the Lord of the Rings series written by Tokien I know a lot about simply because Tolkien wrote about these experiences from his awful horrific experiences in World war I where ALL his best friends died in World War I except him. So, writing Lord of the Rings was more about healing himself enough from that War to be able to stay alive and not commit suicide which is why Lord of the rings is Such a powerful amazing story which is more well Read than any book including the Bible here on earth.
Also, Tolkien was a linguistics professor of Indo-European languages at Oxford University in England and so when he designed the Orc and Elven languages he designed them from his linguistics background in teaching linguistics as a college professor which makes these languages more believable and makes them work in a way that is mind boggling for many more educated readers.
In other words, Tolkien achieved something in his writings that no other writer ever has before.
