Elated and devastated sums it up. These are some of the best memes and reactions to the Season 3 premiere of House of the Dragon.
After a bit of a wait, we’re back in Westeros, and it’s as chaotic and bloody as ever. The third season of House of the Dragon premiered today here in Thailand after a two-year hiatus. Fans have anxiously waited for the continuation of the Game of Thrones prequel, especially after the nail-biting conclusion of the previous season. True to form, the first episode of Season 3 spared no time to launch viewers into an all-out war full of violence, questionable relationships, and heart-wrenching deaths.

A collection of the best memes and reactions to House of the Dragon Season 3

The second season ended with Westeros on the brink of war. Team Green has an army led by Ser Criston Cole and Gwayne Hightower, while Rhaenyra’s Team Black also has a formidable force backed up with, well, dragons. Despite Alicent’s proposal for a peaceful resolution, war seems inevitable.
That’s exactly what happens in the first episode of Season 3. Several battles are fought on different fronts, but taking centre stage is the famed Battle of the Gullet. Rhaenyra bonds and reigns chaos with her dragon, Sheepstealer. And, unsurprisingly, there are plenty of casualties, including Jace Targaryen. Yes, Rhaenyra loses yet another son.
The internet has been waiting in earnest for the return of the HBO Max show. Many are relishing the utter violence Rhaenyra is raining down on her foes, but at the same time, they’re also devastated. Some are devastated for the deaths of the dragons, some for Jace’s demise, while others are just pissed that all this bloodshed will have a very unsatisfying (see Game of Thrones Season 8).
Here are some of the best memes and reactions to the Season 3 premiere of House of the Dragon.
