Release Date
Fans were quick to notice that House of the Dragon Season 2 premieres on Father's Day, and that parenthood is a major theme in the story coming up.
Significant Dialogue
While Fire & Blood lays out the events of this war in detail, its historical format means there isn't much direct dialogue or insight on the characters' states of mind. Fans got right to work interpreting the dialogue in these trailers, looking for hints about what characters will be feeling when they do certain things or why characters make certain decisions.
Set Change
Changes to the set say a lot about this upcoming story, and fans noted that Aegon II wasted no time in overhauling the king's chamber in the Red Keep. The model Valyrian city that King Viserys (Paddy Considine) was so fond of is gone in one scene from this trailer.
Identifying Battles
Because Fire & Blood tells us which dragons and dragon-riders were at which battles in this war, it's possible for die-hard fans to identify events on the timeline – even if they only saw a second or two in the trailer. That means commenters have come up with a pretty clear idea of how far the story will go in Season 2 and what will be left to depict in future seasons.
Brief Glimpses
It took hours or even days for some of the more subtle elements of the trailer to come to light online, including this spoiler-filled screenshot on Reddit.
Changing Dynamics
Fans marveled at how much could be conveyed without words in these trailers – even the changing dynamics between characters and the way Aegon had become more regal.
Costume Glow-up
Lastly, fans were excited to see that Harry Collett seems to have a better hairstyle in store for his portrayal of Prince Jacaerys Velaryon this season. House of the Dragon Season 2 premieres on Sunday, June 16 on HBO and Max.
