House of the Dragon fans think Team Green's newcomer is actually not that bad, and would've sided with Dunk in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

House of the Dragon season 3 has introduced a stack of new characters, including Ser Gwayne Hightower, and although he may be Team Green, fans think he is secretly a good guy and would have sided with Dunk in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Now, Gwayne, played by Freddie Fox, actually made his House of the Dragon debut in season 2 as Alicent's arrogant brother and Otto Hightower's son. But so far in season 3, it seems as though he isn't that bad. A number of times now he has pulled up Ser Criston on his bizarre choices. This change of heart has led many fans to believe that if Gwayne were in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, he would have done the right thing and sided with Ser Duncan in the Trial of the Seven, just like Baelor Targaryen did.

"I would like to think so. Fits his personality," said one fan on Reddit, and another replied, "He would most definitely be taking Dunk's side if he had to choose," highlighting what the knight said to Criston in House of the Dragon season 3 episode 3, after he caught one of the soldiers assaulting a village girl. Gwayne said, "A punishment is due, but also a statement to the men. That we are not beasts, but knights, and soldiers of honor."

However, others seem to think the apple doesn't fall far from the Hightower. "I don't think he will. As honorable as he is, he is a Hightower, and they don't treat commoners as their equals," added another Reddit user.

The Trial of the Seven is the ultimate test of whether the characters are able to stand up for what is right. After finding Aerion Targaryen beating Tanselle, Dunk strikes the prince. As punishment, the knight is challenged to a trial where he and six of his men must fight Aerion and six of his men. However, when Dunk failed to gather enough soldiers, Baelor Targaryen joined his team and made the ultimate sacrifice in doing so.

We will never know what Gwayne would have done in that situation. However, Hightower has plenty of time to prove himself in House of the Dragon season 2, as he continues to fight for a cause and for a team he doesn't seem to believe in.

House of the Dragon continues weekly on HBO in the US and HBO Max, Sky, and NOW in the UK. For exact timings, see our House of the Dragon season 3 release schedule, and keep up with all the upcoming Game of Thrones movies and TV shows on the way.

What is the best way to watch The Odyssey in theaters?

What is the best way to watch The Odyssey in theaters? It's an important question, as Christopher Nolan's fantasy epic is releasing on a range of PLF (Premium Large Format) screens in theaters across the globe.

From IMAX 70mm and Dolby Vision to a bog-standard mall theater screen, the many options on offer can be a little confusing, which is where our foolproof guide comes in. The Odyssey is already the highest-rated movie of Christopher Nolan's career, and with Nolan shooting every frame of the movie on IMAX film, you'll want to see it in the best possible format.

The Odyssey is one of the year's most exciting new movies. Want to know what to expect? There's no better place to start than our Odyssey beginner's guide, or check out our spoiler-free 5* The Odyssey review. But first, head below for the best ways to watch The Odyssey in theaters.

IMAX 70MM (1.43:1)

There are no bones about it: this is the definitive way to watch The Odyssey. Nolan and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema shot every frame of The Odyssey on IMAX film cameras, meaning no distracing aspect ratio switches or resolution dips throughout, just towering immersion.

There's no pixel count with analogue film, so it's not a direct comparison, but IMAX 70mm is considered the equivalent of about 12K resolution, making your 4K TV look like a 540p DVD. In other words, the level of detail is unmatched. Plus, this is the only way you'll get to see the exclusive Dune 3 prologue. Good luck getting a ticket, though; there are only 41 theaters globally equipped with IMAX 70mm film projectors, and many screenings are currently sold out.

IMAX (1.90:1)

Unlike IMAX 70mm screenings, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a seat at an IMAX digital theater, as they are far more common, and you're still benefiting from an expanded aspect ratio and all the bells and whistles of IMAX's proprietary Image Enhancer process.

1.90:1 is almost exactly the same aspect ratio as your TV at home (16:9), which should give a sense of the extra screen real estate in this version. The resolution won't be as sharp as any of the film options at about 2.9K, but it'll still look pretty dazzling.

70mm (2.20:1)

Nolan is famed for his embrace of IMAX technology, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're missing out if you don't see The Odyssey in an IMAX theater. The director is an equally big proponent of projecting on film, because 70mm presentations of The Odyssey come with a massive resolution bump to around 12K. So if you can't find a seat at an IMAX 70mm screening, there are benefits to a 70mm presentation over IMAX digital.

Nolan has also worked with variable aspect ratios since The Dark Knight in 2008, so he has almost 20 years of experience 'center punching' the action, meaning you'll never miss out on important visual information at the top and bottom of the frame with this narrower aspect ratio. And Lawrence of Arabia was shot in 2.20:1, so if it's good enough for David Lean…

35mm (2.39:1)

Like 70mm film, you get a resolution bump over digital with 35mm film presentations – it's the equivalent of about 5.6K resolution. 2.39:1 (aka anamorphic widescreen) has been cinema's standard aspect ratio for around 70 years, and for many, is the most visually 'cinematic' way to present movies, so there are reasons to consider 35mm.

Dolby Vision (1.85:1/2.39:1)

Dolby Vision laser is about as good as digital movie projection gets. The aspect ratio will depend on what your local Dolby Vision theater is capable of showing, but either way, you're getting a crazy high 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, dazzling brightness, and exact color rendering. Certainly not a bad option if you have a Dolby Vision theater nearby.

Much is made of premium large format film presentations (including by us in this article), but the truth is: you're seeing exactly the same film whether you're paying a premium for IMAX 70mm or matinee rates at your local AMC. So if your budget can't stretch to one of the myriad PLF presentations listed above, The Odyssey is still well worth checking out. After all, our own 5* The Odyssey review labels it a "monumental accomplishment, an undeniable film-of-the-year contender, and one of the finest movies of Nolan's already impressive career." In other words, it's a must-see in any form.

The Odyssey releases in theaters on July 17. In the meantime, check out our ranking of the best Christopher Nolan movies.
