'House of the Dragon' has already eclipsed 'Game of Thrones' in this department.
We’re a year out from House of the Dragon premiering, and while the show’s first season may fall short of Game of Thrones in some aspects, one thing it actually does a lot better is centering women, both on screen and behind the scenes. Unlike in Game of Thrones, women are unquestionably at the core of the story; Game of Thrones had a fairly even split of prominent male and female characters, but its treatment of female characters was called into question several times throughout the show’s run.
Game of Thrones, on the other hand, often sidelined its more interesting female characters in favor of the likes of Jon and Bran Stark — their prominence often felt underserved, especially as they arguably turned out to be the two most important players despite their comparatively underwhelming characterization.
While sexual violence is not absent from House of the Dragon, it is more sparingly and tactfully used. A marital rape scene between Viserys and Alicent is clearly framed as hugely violating, as it’s interspersed with Rhaenyra’s enthusiastic encounter with Ser Criston Cole . Alicent is a clear victim — a far cry from the way the rape scene between Cersei and Jaime was treated, or the scene between Sansa and Ramsay that was largely used to show the troubled perspective of Theon Greyjoy .
The season’s most sex-heavy episode — “King of the Narrow Sea” — was directed by Kilner, and many viewers felt it was refreshing to have a woman behind the lens of an episode that featured a young woman exploring her sexuality for the first time, delivering a scene that was based far more on sexual liberation than most of what was depicted in Game of Thrones.
