Game of Thrones is ruining fantasy for big movies

Warning: Light spoilers for Game of Thrones through season 6, episode 5 follow…

Five episodes in and Game of Thrones season 6 has taken on a thrillingly propulsive pace. We've all grown used to it by now, but this truly is one of the most cinematic shows on television — and in this era of TV, that's saying quite a bit.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy has long been the gold standard for fantasy films, but has Game of Thrones set a bar that few others can meet?

With Warcraft on the way in early June, we ask, are movies not chasing TV?

Roth Cornet and Drew McWeeny discuss in the video above or below. We also name the best movie dragon of all time.
