Within the court docket of io9 I too am responsible of discovering Daemon Targaryen himself, Matt Smith, surprisingly engaging. For me it occurred someplace between Last Night in Soho and his dancing sequence in Morbius. Perhaps there have been hints of it in The Crown however by no means actually occurred to me when he was the Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who. Good-looking and earnest, sure. Hottie? Not till he entered his villain period.
Certain, it’s distressing for Home of the Dragon govt producer and author Sarah Hess that Smith has turn into the web’s boyfriend for causes wholly totally different than throughout his Physician Who period. She advised the Hollywood Reporter, “Not that Matt isn’t extremely charismatic and fantastic, and he’s unbelievable within the function. However Daemon himself… I don’t need him to be my boyfriend! I’m slightly baffled how they’re all, ‘Oh, daddy!’ And I’m identical to: ‘Actually?’ How—in what method—was he an excellent associate, father or brother—to anyone? You bought me. He ain’t Paul Rudd.” Respectfully, we disagree.
Smith might finally be on the highway to win sexiest man alive (a title Rudd’s received), regardless of no matter different atrocities Daemon is about to commit. The sheer shock of Smith turning heel appears to be actually doing it for audiences—much more particularly, the method wherein his appearing prowess took his dark-haired main man appears and shifted right into a dementedly charming white-haired prince, who ought to be by all counts irredeemable. He killed his spouse however by the point he singlehandedly slayed a military and Crabfeeder all of us however forgot.
G/O Media might get a fee
And but he’s what web slang calls a “Babygirl Meow Meow” to repair (not significantly, I hope). Smith has gone from a goody-goody, fish-fingers-and-custard-consuming time-touring hero with a TARDIS to a finger-slicing maniac who stomps via human custard for his household’s identify on a dragon. The one competitors he’s bought is fellow catastrophe bi Lestat from Interview with the Vampire.
Excuse the cringe, however he’s BAE-mon Targaryen now. He’s so dangerous it’s sick and we are able to’t get sufficient of it.
Home of the Dragon airs Sunday on HBO and streams on HBO Max.
