Although the popularity of the plot made everyone seem to ignore the dissatisfaction with casting before the broadcast, many viewers still questioned the appearance setting of Valerian and Targaryen in the original work, with fair skin and silver-haired and purple eyes, while the series is starring black.
Recently, Condal, co-producer of "Dragon Family", responded to this question?
He said he thought it was a successful choice and was considered. Nowadays, the audience is very diverse, not only from the United States, but from the world, speaking different languages and with different skin colors.
Varylia has a vast territory and a large population. Why are there no black Valeryans? This is consistent with reality.
Black people also help the audience remember who comes from what family, and can also express Renilla Targaryen's "suspicious bloodline" of the children.
Martin also said that he had considered setting the Valerians as blacks before writing the book.
