The Targaryen family history is about to be explored centuries before Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke) took to the Iron Throne. HBO’s House of the Dragon finally has a full-length trailer to give Game of Thrones fans a first glimpse at the likes of Matt Smith, Paddy Considine and Olivia Cooke ahead of Comic-Con. However, not everyone is willing to give the prequel a shot – despite its action-packed trailer.

Many fans have reacted to the new trailer to express their disdain for the GOT universe given how season eight ended on HBO.

A number of fans were dissatisfied with how Game of Thrones wrapped up storylines for the likes of Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and Daenerys.

However, HBO hopes to win fans back with its first-look which includes the likes of King Viserys Targaryen (Considine), Prince Daemon Targaryen (Smith), Alicent Hightower (Cooke) and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) in Westeros.

Reacting on Twitter, user and GOT fan @jojenite fumed: “Hard to be excited when we all know how it all ends. Should’ve reshoot seasons 7 and 8 without D&D and give us a proper ending.”

Brent Paterman echoed: “I would be excited but you all ruined Season 8.. go away.”

While @playboi___danni argued: “There’s no reason to watch a prequel show if the original ends so disappointingly, regardless of who writes the prequel show.”

And Okla Hannali simply questioned: “Is this gonna be s**t, too?”

However, there was still plenty of support and excitement among the fandom, with @WeThrones tweeting: “#HouseoftheDragon. This show is coming to rule the world again. Kneel or run.”

Those who still hold bitterness towards the GOT universe given its divisive ending may be won over by the fact House of the Dragon is penned by new writers.

DB Weiss and David Benioff are no longer involved with conjuring up the scripts for the show.

Instead, creator George RR Martin has collaborated with Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik for the prequel.

The series will also take place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, delving into the story of House Targaryen.
