New Game of Thrones Season 5 poster released!
HBO has released a new poster for Season 5 of Game of Thrones, and, well, let’s just admire that for a second.
Some analysis after the jump….
First off, it’s fascinating that they’re using the same image of Drogon from Season 4. Presumably they have new ones from Season 5–or they could make one–but this image is just so damn iconic that they’re re-using it. I have no real problem with that, as it’s certainly striking on the poster.
Second, between this and the trailer, the producers are not being coy at all about how Tyrion is pointed at Dany. If Varys’ “Who said anything about him?” wasn’t clear enough, now we have the implicit signs of Tyrion traveling on a boat straight to Dany. Given the popularity of both characters, this makes sense.
Finally, I’m currently putting together a piece about some of the locations we might see in Season 5. and the fog surrounding the boat suggests that we might be seeing some parts of the world that I wasn’t sure the show would cover in any detail. I’ll be keeping my eye on this.
