Kendall Myers is an author at Collider who focuses on television, sitcoms, fantasy, Disney movies, and historical dramas.
Editor's Note: The following contains MAJOR spoilers and deaths for the future of House of the Dragon and Fire & Blood, the book that the series is based on.
The change Martin takes issue with is the removal of Prince Maelor, Aegon and Helaena's youngest child. At two, he does little in the story himself, but his presence does impact that around him, giving credence to Martin's point. Though alluded to in Season 1's opening sequence, Maelor does not appear in House of the Dragon. Though he still could be born, theoretically, the biggest scene he is in has already happened.
Maelor's lack of an appearance takes away some of the psychological torture that Helaena is put through, but the gruesome murder of her son is enough to fulfill the main plot points. For one thing, Helaena needed to leave the encounter traumatized, which certainly happened. The event also had to earn her the sympathy of the masses, which can be seen in the next episode during the prince's funeral procession.
