An Awkward 'House Of The Dragon' CGI Gaffe Just One-Upped That 'Game Of Thrones' Coffee Cup

An Awkward 'House Of The Dragon' CGI Gaffe Just One-Upped That 'Game Of Thrones' Coffee Cup
HBO

HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon just launched a couple weeks ago, but it's already become infamous for an onscreen gaffe.

Fans of the show--a whole lot of them--noticed a certain CGI error in a recent episode that has people comparing the show to that time someone's coffee cup was visible in a Game of Thrones scene back in the day.


But as errors go, this one is a much bigger gaffe than a coffee cup, or the errant water bottle that eventually unseated it as GOT's most infamous mess-up.

Nope, House of the Dragon took the "go big or go home" approach to its mistake, adding back a character's severed body parts. Oops.

The error centers on the character King Viserys, who has struggled with a bout of a mysterious flesh-eating bacteria that resulted in the amputation of two of his fingers.

But in the photo taken from the most recent episode, actor Paddy Considine who plays King Viserys, was seen taking a scroll from another character with the hand from which the two fingers were amputated—except fingers had mysteriously returned.

Even more cringe-worthy, Considine's fingers were seen wearing green gloves—part of the process of using greenscreen technology for CGI.

Basically, it means the CGI artists just forgot to get rid of Considine's fingers, so now King Viserys appears to be some sort of lizard-man hybrid.

Perhaps he's part dragon, per the show's title?

But in the CGI artists' defense, maybe they were just trying to follow tradition after GOT's coffee cup and water bottle mess-ups? There's a legacy to uphold, after all.

On Twitter, the gaffe definitely caught lots of people's eyes, and of course they wasted no time roasting the mistake.







And the show's CGI in general has gotten roasted pretty hard too.

It's likely HBO will fix the error and it will quickly disappear from the streaming platform, so get it while you can if you're the type who loves a good production mistake.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
