hbo max

So we start the weekly overview with the HBO Max offer, although, as I say, it is relative because House of the Dragon it opens tomorrow, but also the day after… This, let’s clean up this mess.

the house of the dragon

the house of the dragon is a new space-based series Game of Thronesthe biggest success in the history of HBO, but also a sociocultural hit that it will try to continue to use with this iteration, a prequel about which we have already advanced the basics: the series goes back several hundred years to what was seen in Game of Thrones recreate the late history of House Targaryen and the civil war that engulfed Westeros, pitting them against the supporters of Princess Rhaenyra and her half-brother Aegon.”

Finally, from House of the Dragon beyond the production company’s own wishes, it is expected to bring back the universe created by George RR Martin, and knowing that the surprise factor does not exist, it remains to be seen whether they will dare to maintain the characteristic heightened tone once the sex and violence or the new forms that rule the industry . Now, before the sex and violence, one could appreciate that the series is well made and that the plot is engaging, authentic value Game of Thrones At least during the first few seasons.

As for the premiere House of the Dragon, will do so in the United States on the night of Sunday, August 21, which in Spain is already Monday, August 22. So this is a more typical release for next week. However, since we’re talking about Sunday morning and Monday… We’re not going to wait another week to announce it, with the anticipation that preceded it. HBO will probably work it to death, and in fact the production costs per chapter are indicative of that. But it’s not all about spending a lot of money, it’s about spending it well.

By the way, remember that House of the Dragon It’s not just coming to HBO Max: it’s doing so alongside the enhanced version Game of Thrones in 4K, HDR 10D, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. So now you know: you can end August with Westeros in your veins if you feel like it.

She-Hulk: She-Hulk’s lawyer The new series and the title, especially in Spanish, says it all, as the veteran character who leads the story has always been known in these parts as Hulka, even though the Hulk was “La Masa”.
