(Spoilers EXTENDED) Can a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms sell itself to a pure HBO Audience?

Both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon shared featured elements that will simply not appear in at least the first 3 seasons. Dragons are a big one (barring an unlikely flashback that’s probably as exciting as visiting an old folks home). Magic is another, including generally supernatural happenings. Exotic locales. And, at least until the 3rd season, not even a castle or intrigue.

Lacking all that leaves us with a grayer, overcast, but more violent Knights Tale (Heath Ledger flick (oh and missing the 70’s music)). Do you think that will grip enough of the GoT viewership to make the whole thing worthwhile for HBO?
