Game of Thrones' Greatest Mastermind Was Completely Overshadowed in House of the Dragon

Game of Thrones focuses on numerous morally ambiguous characters throughout Westeros, but one of the most famous antagonists is the cruel Tywin Lannister. He commands armies, intimidates kings, and understands exactly how much fear his name inspires across the continent. On top of that, he was easily the show's greatest political mastermind. His reputation as such is so formidable that even characters who despise him know that underestimating Tywin is a huge mistake. But while Tywin is impressive in this regard, House of the Dragon quietly introduced a much better strategist in Otto Hightower.
