Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer Reactions: 7 Ups And 3 Downs

1. That Final Shot

Game Of Thrones Trailer Drogon
HBO

There's a reason HBO saved this for the very end of the trailer, because it is absolutely the money shot.

The battle appears to be the same one we saw the Dothraki in earlier, but it's the sight of Drogon emerging from the distance, and then flying out of shot in close-up, that really makes it pop. Daenerys' Dragon is huge, getting towards Balerion the Black Dread in size terms, and it's an utter marvel to watch. The reverse of this scene should be pretty awesome too, as it's presumably just a bunch of Lannister soldiers running for their lives.
