Following the divisive Game of Thrones ending in 2019, it’s been a challenging road back to acclaim for the iconic fantasy franchise. The first planned spinoff, Bloodmoon, was canceled after filming a pilot episode starring Naomi Watts. House of the Dragon was the next series to come about, and though the first season received widespread critical acclaim, the second was met with a more mediocre response, reminding audiences of the flaws of Game of Thrones season 8. There are other Game of Thrones shows on the way, but a movie could offer a different appeal.
Game Of Thrones’ New Movie Could Shake Up The Fantasy Franchise In The Best Way
A Game Of Thrones Movie Could Bring Back The Event Aspect Of The Franchise
By no means is the Game of Thrones franchise failing. House of the Dragon is still a popular show, and HBO is expecting the new A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series in 2025. With that being said, a movie could contribute momentum in a new way, possibly helping push the franchise back toward its peak popularity. Part of what made Game of Thrones such a phenomenon was that every episode felt like an event, and with such a prevalent place in the cultural vernacular came a mass desire to watch every episode before anything got spoiled.
The best way to re-create that magic isn’t spinoff shows; it’s to provide something that feels like an event. Bringing the cinematic nature of something like the Battle of the Bastards or Rook’s Rest to life on the big screen can cultivate the excitement of the original show and spark some new interest. Especially given the desire for more battles and dragon action in House of the Dragon season 2, a film could adapt a more action-focused era of Game of Thrones history, like Robert’s Rebellion, and offer viewers a cinematic experience.
A Franchise Shake-Up Is Needed After HOTD Season 2 & Game Of Thrones’ Axed Spinoffs
Game Of Thrones Needs To Build Up Some Fresh Momentum
Custom image by Ana NievesAs mentioned, the Game of Thrones franchise is doing well, but it could use a shake-up. House of the Dragon lost some of its luster from season 1, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be a considerably smaller show, and some of the compelling spinoff ideas seem to be scrapped. It’s essential to tell the small stories in the Game of Thrones world, but given the success the franchise has had in the past, it seems like the best way to generate excitement going forward is to give audiences a spectacle.
