This Game of Thrones toilet is fit for the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms

Game of Thrones - Iron Throne Toilet - SUPER FAN BUILDS

If you head to Complex, a nightclub in Glendale, California, there might be some Game of Thrones-themed Three-Eyed Raven beer on tap, and there will definitely be an Iron Throne in the bathroom. That’s because bar owner John Giovanazzi received the custom-made toilet courtesy of Super-Fan Builds.

The YouTube show features Hollywood prop makers who build amazing paraphernalia for all sorts of fans of comics, TV shows, video games, and more. In the latest episode, the team from Tim Baker Creations got to work on a throne fit for a drunken king. There were a few things they needed to take into consideration, mostly having to do with the toilet’s location in a bar.

Since even a novice swordfighter like Arya Stark knows you stick ‘em with the pointy end, Baker decided to keep the sharper swords away from any sensitive anatomy. Also, because intoxicated patrons would be among those using the commode, Baker used marine-grade resin to coat the plywood and plastic swords and base. “If it can protect against the ocean seawater, I think you’ll be safe with whatever else happens in here,” he told the bar owner. The throne boasts over 200 swords, sculpted to look like individual weapons fused together with dragon fire. There’s even a toilet paper holder.

This isn’t the first toilet that’s appeared on Super-Fan Builds. In Season 1, Baker made a “Hobbit Hole” litter box for a couple of cats (who happened to be named Sam and Frodo), complete with a Tower of Sauron scratching post.

The show isn’t just for fancy toilets, though. The show’s prop makers have also created a Batmobile baby stroller, a Groot swing set, and a BioShock fish tank. Please tell us where we can sign up to get a Harry Potter flying car.

The 10 most powerful Game of Thrones characters ever, ranked

Daenerys and Jon meeting together in her room.

House of the Dragon ended its hugely successful first season with an episode that included everything, from plots to steal the Iron Throne to dragon battles and a violent death. In short, it was just another day in Westeros. Yes, House of the Dragon was a resounding success, but it owes much of it to Game of Thrones. The show that single-handedly revived the fantasy genre and redefined what the word "spectacle" meant in television, GoT was a game-changer.

The show conquered fans' and critics' hearts with a successful mix of political intrigue and good, old-fashioned drama; there was nothing like it on television or film. Game of Thrones featured a seemingly endless parade of morally-dubious characters vying to seat on a pointy chair, and we couldn't get enough of them. Indeed, the pursuit of power was at the heart of GoT, with every major player wanting to get their share of the glory. But what is power in Westeros? Varys said it best: it's an illusion, a shadow on the wall. And these characters certainly cast a very large shadow. Whether because of their resources, armies, gold, or charm, these figures were the most powerful in Westeros and the beating heart of the game of thrones.

Game of Thrones: the best Jon Snow episodes

Jon Snow beyond the wall in Game of Thrones.

Though we're only two episodes into the new series, HBO's House of the Dragon has so far successfully captured the thrill of week-to-week dark fantasy epics, political drama, and overall excitement for the characters and world of Game of Thrones. A second season was already greenlit less than a week after the series premiere but with the recent bombshell of the Kit Harington/Jon Snow-led sequel series in development, it's worth revisiting the impact of the original show as well as its potential future.

Despite a final season that went off the rails, Jon Snow cemented his status as a pop culture fantasy icon and one of the most compelling characters in Thrones' main cast. As such, he's had a great spotlight in a handful of the series' best episodes.

Why Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power can’t be a Game of Thrones rip-off

Morfydd Clark in "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power."

Even before Game of Thrones went off the air, there was rampant and wild speculation about which show might emerge that could replace it. Game of Thrones was, according to some, the end of an era where TV fans would all watch the same show and then spend the following week discussing the latest episode and speculating about what was to come. Recently, House of the Dragon has attempted to prove that Game of Thrones can be an heir to itself, but another show that has also entered the fray hopes to become something of a phenomenon.

Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has often been described as Amazon's version of Thrones. The company has invested enormous sums of money into the show, and it's set in a similar fantasy universe as Thrones, with flying creatures and human actors wearing bad white wigs. George R.R. Martin, the mind behind Game of Thrones, was a huge J.R. Tolkien fan, and wrote his own fantasy series essentially in response to Tolkien's totemic works. That's part of the reason why, whatever Rings of Power turns out to be, it has to be more than just a riff on Game of Thrones, even though its source material was created long before anybody sat on the Iron Throne.
