“He’s become Internet Boyfriend in a way that baffles me,” executive producer Sara Hess says.
Hess and Kilner spoke toThe Hollywood Reporterabout all those thirsty tweets and memes about Daemon.
But Hess thinks people ought to look further and consider who Daemonreallyis.
“He’s become Internet Boyfriend in a way that baffles me,” Hess said.
“Not that Matt isn’t incredibly charismatic and wonderful, and he’s incredible in the role.
But Daemon himself is …
I don’t want him to be my boyfriend!
I’m a little baffled how they’re all, ‘Oh, daddy!’
And I’m just like: ‘Really?’
How–in what way–was he a good partner, father or brother–toanybody?
He ain’t Paul Rudd.”
Kilner sees it a little differently, explaining that viewers are on-board for the journey.
“One minute you like someone, and the next minute you like someone else.
But I’m not surprised.
People love a baddie.
But I don’t think he’s particularly a good father or a good brother.”
There are many interpretations [in George R.R.
Martin' s book Fire & Blood] to that."
Martin has said he believesHouse of the Dragon needs four full seasons to tell its story properly.
