Buckle up, Targaryen fans. House of the Dragon Season 3 is starting with one of the most brutal, dragon-fueled battles in Westeros history—the Battle of the Gullet.
And yes, it’s going to be absolutely wild.
The War Gets Real
For those who don’t know, the Battle of the Gullet is a major moment in the Targaryen civil war, also known as the Dance of the Dragons. Think massive fleets clashing, dragons scorching ships, and bodies piling up in the sea. The stakes? Sky-high. And at the center of it all? Jacaerys Velaryon, Rhaenyra Targaryen’s eldest son, who’s about to meet a devastating fate.
Jacaerys’ Tragic End
Season 2 built up Jace as a key player in Rhaenyra’s war effort, but his journey is about to be cut short—brutally, in Season 3 of House of the Dragon. He’s expected to die in this epic battle, and let’s just say, fans aren’t exactly thrilled about losing him so soon. Many are already complaining that his character arc feels rushed, and his death is going to hit hard, especially for Rhaenyra.
Production is Going All Out
If you thought the Blackwater battle in Game of Thrones was impressive, HBO is promising to top it. The showrunners have reportedly brought in experts who worked on Titanic to make the naval sequences feel as realistic and intense as possible. Expect massive set pieces, insane CGI, and some of the most jaw-dropping visuals the series has delivered so far.
Fans React: Excited but Worried
Die-hard fans are hyped for the scale of this battle, but there’s also a lot of concern. Many feel like Jacaerys hasn’t been developed enough for his death to have the impact it should. And then there’s Rhaenyra—losing her eldest son this early in the war is bound to send her into full-on vengeance mode.
With such a dramatic start to the season, things are only going to get bloodier from here. If the Battle of the Gullet is this intense, just imagine what’s coming later. More dragon duels? More shocking deaths? One thing’s for sure—Season 3 of House of the Dragon is not holding back.
