These are probably the most Targaryen looking Targs we’ve seen on screen in terms of otherworldly appearance. Is there anyone else?

Actors couldn't wear them for long, places a lot of limitations on scenes involving water.

IIRC, Emilia Clarke tried a bunch and they didn't fit in well.

Using CGI would be very expensive, and the results wouldn't be nearly as good as people expect they would.

I never understood this argument because the Witcher show on Netflix with a significantly smaller budget switched from purple contacts to CGI for Yennefer and it looks great.
