Internet Accuses 'House of the Dragon' as a Rip Off of the One and Only 'Shrek', Shares Convincing Back-to-Back Clips

The new popular drama series House of the Dragon, born from the insanely popular series Game of Thrones is very serious, gruesome, dramatic, and realistic (in certain ways). It's action packed and many people d!e a gory and unthinkable de@ath. You wouldn't think to compare it to a children's film, yet the Internet is constantly doing whatever tf it wants. Recently, it's been brought to many people's attention that many scenes from the new House of the Dragon—a very adult series—are curiously similar to the one and only Shrek—a children's movie franchise…

They both have dragons that are somewhat tamed. They at least answer to a specific character or characters. In Shrek, the dragon answers to Donkey and maybe sometimes Shrek himself. In House of the Dragon, the dragons only listen to the Targaryens. There is a scene where many people are gathered and a dragon comes bursting in, k*lling someone while its person rides it. This perfectly describes a scene in BOTH Shrek and House of the Dragon.

There is also a scene in House of the Dragon with a feast that eerily has similar characteristics to that of the feast scene in Shrek 2. Obviously, the storylines are mostly different here, and yet, the characters not only have similar meal, but the characters also seem to mirror certain actions, facial expressions, and even outfits.

Coincidence? Many think not! But let's be serious here, they're obviously VERY different stories with very different characters. And yet, with this eerie inexplicable similarities that the Internet has now pointed out and put back to back, this does make you wonder—is Shrek happening at the same time as House of the Dragon? Ahhh, the internet truly knows how to throw a wrench in everything.
