Fans questioned the mega budget of HBOs ‘House of the Dragon’ after spotting major CGI mistakes in the recently released episode 3.
The third instalment ‘Second of His Name’ from the 10-episodic first season of the fantasy series landed yesterday, and hawk-eyed fans have not been sparing the makers for repeating major goof-ups, particularly those of CGI (computer-generated imagery) from the sequel series, ‘Game of Thrones’.

While the show has broken all viewership records and is a legions-favourite like the predecessor, there is more in common between the two of G.R.R. Martin’s series, which is a lack of attention to detail. However, the fans are quite serious about their favourite show as they do not skip these details.
Several users of the micro-blogging site took to their walls with the screenshot of the green-screen blunder made by the creatives.
Here is what happened:

The moment in focus is from the recently-released episode 3 of ‘House of the Dragon’ when King Viserys (Paddy Considine) was spotted with a green CGI glove on his fingers.
Have a look at netizens’ reactions to the mistakes.

The CGI in #HOTD is so godawful. Why do they insist on using so much of it?
