House of the Dragon director explains why Helaena isn't a dragonrider in the HBO adaptation
Director Nina Lopez-Corrado explains the decision to not make Helaena Targaryen a dragonrider in the HBO series House of the Dragon, citing her fear of dragons' corrupting influence and prophetic visions of destruction. This adaptive choice, along with others concerning Prince Maelor, has been a point of discussion among fans and creators, including George R.R. Martin.
