Why Everyone Is WRONG About Ormund Hightower

When it comes to House of The Dragon, Ormund Hightower is exactly what the show had been missing, and he brought to the table crucial elements that are undeniably vintage early Game of Thrones. And this video is going to explain how that statement could possibly make any sense. Now, we could easily describe Ormund as a cartoonish villain, and we’ll address that at the end of this video, because there’s something to say about that. But that alone would be a lazy analysis of this character while ignoring what he’s truly bringing to the story. And that’s important, because before we can talk about how crucial it is to have a character like this in House of The Dragon, we have to acknowledge what this character is not. He is not simply a cartoonish villain, he is not subordinate to either side of the Targaryen civil war, and he’s certainly not the same character from the book. Instead, Ormund Hightower offers a 3rd option entirely that is independent of the source material and yet, i’m going to explain why what he truly offers feels like a character who would’ve fit right in at a table next to the Tywin Lannisters or Little Fingers in Game of Thrones, while offering an element that feels very familiar. #houseofthedragon #ormundhightower #gameofthrones
