It’s a clear signal to audiences that they’re about to experience something different than what they’re used to. > “All decisions came down to Dunk, trying to channel the type of person he is into every aspect of this show, even the title sequence," Ira Parker, a former writer on House of the Dragon and co-creator of this next six-episode series with Martin, tells Entertainment Weekly. “The title sequences on the original [Game of Thrones] and House of Dragon are big and epic and incredible. Ramin Djawadi’s score is orchestral and large and beautiful. That's not really Dunk’s M.O. He’s plain and he’s simple and he’s to-the-point. He doesn't have a lot of flash to him.”
>>215062768>With the rise of Dunk, we're just over 50 years after the death of the last dragon, but “that wasn't even much of a dragon,” Parker notes. “It was a sort of gnarled thing that it couldn't even fly. If you can't fly, what are you really? They’re just a fancy lizard.” >At this time period, “Nobody's thinking about magic,” the showrunner further explains. “This could basically be 14th century Britain. This is hard nose, grind it out, gritty, medieval knights, cold with a really light, hopeful touch. It's a wonderful place to be. We are ground up in this series, we are starting right at the bottom. We're not with the lords and ladies, the kings and queens." >Unlike the previous shows, Parker made a promise to Martin, who serves as an executive producer, that he would never shift to a perspective of anyone in the upper class. Viewers will always stick with Dunk, Egg, and this lower rim of Westeros society: the armorers, the performers, the barmaids, the whores, and the like. > “To find a totally different version of this world that everybody seems to know so well was very, very appealing,” he continues. “The fact that we live in this world, though, where magic once existed is very interesting to me. This is the ground and the grass that has seen dragons and dragon fire before. So everything is just like how the world is, but a little stranger, a little different.”

>>215062824>>At this time period, “Nobody's thinking about magic,”so just like every single song of ice and fire media thus far?
