The piece argues that House of the Dragon and the wider Game of Thrones universe repeatedly portray powerful women through familiar patterns: madness, victimhood, villainy or rejection of femininity. It criticizes the lack of a good, witty, powerful and genuinely adored female character comparable to male figures such as Tyrion, Jon Snow or Samwell Tarly.
