House of the Dragon: HBO to fix viral VFX error in King Viserys scene

After fans pinpointed a VFX gaffe during a scene featuring King Viserys in HBO's House of the Dragon, the network is on its way to make it right with an updated version on HBO Max.

As reported byVariety, years after the Game of Thrones Starbucks cup goof, eagle-eyed viewers have spotted another visual effects mistake in last Sunday’s House of the Dragon episode. In Season 1 Episode 3, titled Second of His Name, King Viserys (Paddy Considine) is shown handing a letter to a soldier.

A Twitter user pointed out that the king’s fourth and fifth fingers are green in the episode — apparently a visual effects editor did not edit out the “green screen” effect on the digits. The character of the king is supposed to be missing two fingers on his left hand, but in the scene, the fingers were visible and wrapped with a green covering in order to be digitally removed later.

The green screen goof reminded viewers of the infamous Game of Thrones Starbucks cup incident from the fourth episode of the final season that aired in 2019, when a Starbucks cup was mistakenly left on a table in a scene. Soon after, the episode was then digitally corrected.

New episodes of House of the Dragon premiere Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max.
