King Aegon II Targaryen is, on the surface, House of the Dragon‘s equivalent of King Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones. Both are rulers who come to the throne at a young age after the death of a father who didn’t show a huge amount of interest in them, both are far too immature, spoiled, and ill-prepared to hold such a position, and both are capable of acts of great depravity and cruelty that rival some of the worst kings from throughout Game of Thrones history.
