House of the Dragon season three came to an epic end with the finale on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The HBO show closed with a dramatic battle, a grand bloodbath and \u2018the greatest scene in the history of House of the Dragon\u2019, according to one user on X.<\/p>\n
After a mixed reaction to season three of the Game of Thrones (GoT) spin-off, the final episode has drawn comparisons with the legendary series.<\/p>\n
@ASOIAFQuotesGOT said it \u2018successfully captures that Game of Thrones magic of old\u2019, while Tarun Raju said, like the iconic show, it had \u2018a lot of expectation-subversion for book-readers\u2019.<\/p>\n
Predictably, we lost important characters in the season close.<\/p>\n
Another large clash ensued with the second Battle of Tumbleton after Daemon met with Riverlanders and Northmen to attack the market town.<\/p>\n
During the big fight, casualties were aplenty as viewers bade farewell to James Norton as Lord Ormund Hightower.<\/p>\n
Another huge loss occurred with the death of Helaena Targaryen, played by Phia Saban.<\/p>\n
She killed herself after falling into a deep depression over being kept apart from her remaining child, Jaehaera, in King\u2019s Landing.<\/p>\n
The moment that Rhaenyra and Alicent realise that she\u2019s dead is the scene that Zaid on X claimed was \u2018the greatest\u2019 in the history of the show.<\/p>\n
George Holdcroft disagreed \u2013 he claimed: \u2018The scene right before this with Roderick Dustin and Ormund Hightower in battle was even better.\u2019<\/p>\n
Others felt that the final episode didn\u2019t deliver as it should have.<\/p>\n
Mdrgm on Reddit called it \u2018a terrible finale for an already weak season\u2019.<\/p>\n
