Game of Thrones '1995 style' is a work of art
Though desperately in need of a cameo from Dean Cain

A tradition that started properly with Breaking Bad, giving dramas a naff, dated version of their credits has become an art form.
Game of Thrones has previously seen 80s versions, sitcom versions, and even a Bad Lip Reading reimagining as a mockumentary, but now comes a Xena-esque 1995 edition, complete with bad VHS taping.
The title sequence features very Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman font and recalls such wholesome moments as Tyrion dodging a horse and Jon Snow holding up a direwolf.
It was created by YouTube's hunterlsanders and has drawn over 4 million views in 24 hours, though disappointingly the soundtrack is just Queen's I Want It All, when I was hoping for a Too Many Cooks-esque campy version of the theme tune.
It certainly makes for a softer version of the show, which Maisie Williams yesterday described as "Death, death, death, revenge, death, revenge, death, revenge" and Emilia Clarke said was basically "Blood, death, boobs."
