In my opinion, the question is phrased incorrectly.
The dragon itself is a beautiful legend, but all the obsessions with dragons, various cults, and forcing them into everything – that's complete nonsense (a "train wreck" in your terms).
When a dragon fits the context, it's very effective, but when it doesn't... well, you get the idea. As for the artwork, there are about as many good pieces as there are for other themes.
Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
