“The Great War is coming.” Also Winter. And Dragons. And horse-lord parkour.
HBO has finally released a full trailer for Game of Thrones season 7. This time around, it’s a trailer with actual footage from the show, not simply a group of main characters walking down hallways and sitting in chairs. It feels somewhat late in the game to be showing off the first substantial footage — the new season is only 8 weeks away — but this is Game of Thrones we’re talking about. Do they really have to show us anything at this point? If there were no trailer, would that dampen excitement enough to give watchers a reason to skip it? Nope. For hardcore fans, no trailer is needed.
For everyone else, this trailer serves as a nice catch-up as to what’s been happening in Westeros over the past 6 years. A reminder of where everyone is and where they’re headed. Chiefly, it reminds us that Cersei is on the Iron Throne and everyone is coming for her. That’s the framing device the HBO marketeers have chosen to open their trailer.
