The biggest difference between "House of the Dragon" and " Game of Thrones " must have been noticed by the audience, or it can be said that it has caused countless controversies since the show was launched. Yes, the editor is talking about the diversity of the actors. To be precise, the members of the Velaryon family are "black". With the genetic blessing of Rhaenys and Prince Daemon, who have pure silver hair and white skin, they still have not changed the skin color of the descendants of this family. I have to praise the power of this family's genes in the show.
The main reason why it has caused controversy among viewers and fans is that the appearance of the Velaryon family in Martin 's novel is the same as that of the Dragon family. They are both ancient Valyrians and have the same characteristics: purple eyes. Of course, Martin's novel does not mention the skin color of "Sea Serpent" Corliss. It may just be that readers subconsciously acquiesce that this family should have white skin like the Dragon family.
Even so, the audience still didn't buy it, but the screenwriter of the show obviously noticed this problem. Recently, Ryan Condor, the screenwriter of "House of the Dragons" explained this problem to everyone in an interview. Ryan Condor said that the decision was not made simply to earn gimmicks for the show, or to simply prove that times are improving or that they are trying to include all races. There are many complicated reasons behind it.
Ryan Condor went on to express that he believed that the decision to make the Velaryon family black was a well-thought-out and successful decision. Times are different now. Our audience is not only from the United States, but also from many other countries and regions. They speak different languages and represent different colors under the sun. It is important to reflect this in the show (the editor summarizes it as: ZZZQ).
So why does this setting need to be placed on the Velaryon family? If we observe carefully, we will find that among the various families and characters currently appearing in the show, only the Velaryon family seems to be black, so we can’t help but wonder, why is this?
Ryan Condor first quoted Martin Sr.'s original idea of setting the Velaryon family as black, saying that this idea influenced him. In addition, Condor explained that the Velaryon family comes from the ancient Valyrian continent, which is densely populated and diverse, so it is not unreasonable to set the Velaryon family as black. Finally, he also said that such a setting can help the audience distinguish the members of the Targaryen family and the Velaryon family on the screen.
