The Gory, Hilarious Downfall of Ormund: A Commentary on the Dark Comedy of House of the Dragon James Norton's portrayal of Ormund Hightower in House of the Dragon has been a standout, with his over the top antics and germaphobe tendencies making him both lovable and despicable at the same time.
The latest season finale's infamous "battle mode" scene showcased Norton's comedic genius, featuring an undeniably gory moment where Ormund takes a rather unconventional wound courtesy of Roddy the Ruin.
The show's writers have always pushed the boundaries of what's acceptable on screen, and this moment is no exception. However, it's also impossible to watch without laughing at the absurdity of it all.
