The most common example of this is the Death card: it’s usually pulled to freak a character out, and interpreted as a bad omen....

Right afterGame of Thronesended, a fantasy series adaptation of another beloved book series debuted on HBO.His Dark Materials, based on thePhillip Pullmantrilogy, ran for three seasons.
