According to data on viewership, House of the Dragon's prequel, House of the Dragon, is currently losing viewers to Game of Thrones on streaming.

In terms of viewership, Game of Thrones presently outperforms House of the Dragon. According to Variety, between August 22 and August 28, which included the first week of Episode 1's availability and some of Episode 2's availability, House of the Dragon placed sixth on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 ranking. More specifically, during that time the first two episodes received a total of 741 million viewing minutes. That information only refers to the HBO Max streaming service; it excludes the debut of House of the Dragon on the HBO channel. The show is reportedly averaging 29 million views per episode and reportedly debuted to roughly 10 million viewers overall across all platforms.

But with more than 909 million viewing minutes over that time, Game of Thrones actually ranked third on that same chart. Game of Thrones defeated House of the Dragon with 73 streaming episodes, which was attributed to the prequel's release reviving interest in the series.

Otherwise, Netflix consistently ranked at the top of the list of streaming services. There were 1,123 million minutes earned by Echos, 971 million minutes by Me Time, 890 million minutes by Strange Things, 770 million minutes by NCIS, and 681 million minutes by The Sandman.


A Tale of Two Fantasy Series

Based on the works of fantasy author George R.R. Martin are the television shows Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. The former was made by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and it made its HBO debut in 2011. The eight-season series chronicled the struggle of several families and individuals for dominance over Westeros' Seven Kingdoms and Iron Throne. Although the sitcom received favourable reviews when it first debuted, later seasons received more criticism than praise. Nevertheless, Game of Thrones continued to draw huge audiences throughout its duration.

HBO started developing other shows set in the same world after Game of Thrones ended. The first of those programmes to air was House of the Dragon, which centres on House Targaryen 172 years before Daenerys Targaryen was born. A Jon Snow-focused follow-up series is also being developed by HBO.

HBO Max now offers streaming access to all eight seasons of Game of Thrones. On Sundays, new episodes of House of the Dragon are made available. Co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik will serve as the director of the upcoming episode, "The Princess and the Queen."

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La
