#hotd wigs
Text
And while we are here, Hotd has this inability to age the male actors, but the most comical example for me is Lyonel Strong.
They put this 40 year old man in a bust down middle part, HD lace unit, and took it away to communicate he's like 60. This is so unserious.

Can't believe that Lord of the Rings released 20 years ago already and ALL of their wigs were still way better than any other blockbuster fantasy show today

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON WIGOLOGY (101 AND WHAT MAKES A WIG, WIG).
Inspired by @blackbyrenflowers hotd wigs
First things first,
What is a wig?
A hair piece is attached to one's head. Many use it because it's basically a new head of hair. It's useful in theatre, tv, and movies because of continuity and not wanting to damage actors' hair. Black film stars have a unique relationship with it because even though it's a protective hairstyle and does what's stated above a lot of the times they get bad wigs because stylist don't have the skills to do their hair and it's used as a pin straight fall back. Recently (Ruth Carter, my beloved) strides have been made to be better and to integrate Black actors' actual hair. (Halle will be famous always)
What is a good wig?
One that you can't tell that it's a wig. Or more so it doesn't exist in an uncanny space. Basically their are different types of wigs, but lacefronts are mostly used for cinema and theatre because they have a piece of sheer lace that blends into the skin for this exact reason. Because it's extremely popular in black and queer spaces, the standards for a good wig are high.
What's a bad wig?
In contrast, a bad wig, you can tell it's a wig. You can see lace, you can see the line of the lace, you can see the actors' hair underneath, or it doesn't look like real hair within the world. The within the world difference is necessary because sometimes a wig is a part of a costume or look that's meant to communicate that it's a wig. Think drag, think colourful wigs. It's an accessory for the concept of the outfit. Wigs in movies or TV can be similar, but it's never meant to take you out of the world.
WHY HOTD S1 WIGS ARE BAD?
They take us out of the world. Characters like Rhaenys and Rhaena look like they're hiding dragon eggs in their hair.
Laena and Baela have open, synthetic curls for the most part, and they stop Baela’s loc journey half way through.
Jace has a helmet looking wig.
The others have okay hair, but styles aren't the level of the most prosperous time in the Houses Targaryen's and Velayron's Reign.
If you don't notice it's fine and go on but when you do, like me with a love of costuming and a fan of Game of Thrones before, the intricate design of Daenerys is lost in the past and given a simpler design.
Alicent has the best wig in the show but she always looks like a Queen (episode 8 was tough). The extravagance of these houses is lost in the styling. The beauty is lost in the simplicity of characters design who in the books have extravagant wealth and nobility with a facade to match.
Hotd also falls into the "Black hair, barely care" trope with black actors. The locs were one of the best choices, but no one can deny Laenor as Jace's dad with the matching helmet wig. Laena and Baela suffer from unstyled curls and Rhaena’s hair is full of secrets (and hate crimes, hbo, I'm in your walls)
SO, IS SEASON 2 BETTER?
So far, yes. We have an established hair language in the world with season 1, but season 2 seems to take strides with the wigs and costumes, especially with the black characters so hopefully we've made it through dark times.
If only Laena was around to be redeemed.

turning cregan stark into a shippable twink *frantically flipping through five hundred pages of notes* is, it’s praxis. It’s actually radical and important work you know. Actually, it’s activism
