Holy Starbucks Cup, 'House Of The Dragon's' Viral FX Mistake Has Apparently Been Addressed By HBO
  • 2 years ago
You know, sometimes when a show has to create massive dragons and mythical worlds out of CGI, the little things can get missed. On "Game of Thrones," it was most infamously that Starbucks cup error. Its prequel "House of the Dragon" may have dodged any anachonistic prop errors so far, but one noteworthy VFX snafu stood out to eagle-eyed fans. (When there are so many people watching the show it breaks HBO records, the mistakes are bound to get caught.) For "HotD," two green fingers accidentally slipped past the FX team, but HBO is apparently already working to fix it.

King Viserys is missing two fingers on his left hand after having caught a flesh-eating infection, and actor Paddy Considine wears a partial green glove on that hand so the digits can be removed later in post-production. Or not at all, it seems. In the third episode of the prequel series, fans were quick to spot the VFX gaffe in a scene featuring King Viserys handing a note to a footman, as all five fingers (two of them green) appeared on the screen. According to THR, an HBO source said the error will be fixed and the revised episode will be available later this week.
