2024-03-22 19:19:08 +0000 UTCI decided to binge this watchthrough in a day and itâs been juicy. I hadnt seen house of the dragon before this, but I did watch the first six seasons of GOT back in the day before it soured on me. But ngl I am hella excited for the boys to start GoT now, it is gonna be WILD! Also Viserys is my GOAT, I kinda hated him in his first scene ep 1 because he seemed like he didnt care about ruling matters, but he totally won me over rather quickly. And his walk this ep was epic as heck

2024-03-02 20:33:38 +0000 UTCHi Studio Gek. Since you guys mentioned how spoiler-y GOT would be for HOTD, let me just tell you that you can indeed watch the whole of Game of Thrones without a care at all. There are only a very few spoilers that you need to be careful about. I will mention the exact time stamps for episode where the spoilers are present. So please do make a note of it and avoid them. These are:- * The spoiler in Season 3, ep 4 is at the 15:49 mark and ends at 16:06. This is right after Varys says: "Prodigies in odd places indeed" (Fast forward or mute or you'll have a major spoiler for HotD character youâve already met.) * Another one to avoid: Season 5, episode 9. When Sir Davos goes to see Shireen. Mute or fast forward starting at 11:10 through 11:35. The rest of their exchange is fine. AVOID AND SKIP THESE AND YOU ARE TOTALLY FINE TO GO AND PROCEED WITH GAME OF THRONES. (Let me know if you guys see my comment and have taken it into consideration and if you think you would watch GOT now or wait for HOTD season 2. Thanks.)

2024-03-02 00:13:38 +0000 UTCI fully understand why all of you really like King Viserys. The show makes him a very likable character. And he is epic in this episode. But in the end he did not like to deal with the tough aspects of ruling. You saw it in the very first scene with him. He did not want to address the issue of the pirates in the Stepstones, but he was all in favor of discussing the details of the upcoming tournament being held for the birth of his child. This was a great example of how he chose to rule. Yet he made a decision that caused all sorts of trouble by naming Rhaenyra as his heir. The only reason that he became king was because the majority of lords throughout the land chose him over his cousin. If the heir was decided regardless of their sex, it would have gone to Princess Rhaenys. It was really an unusual step for King Jaehaerys to essentially hold a vote to decide the next king. But because his two eldest sons had died and there were various ways to decide the succession, he chose to get the input of the lords of Westeros. And they clearly chose the male heir. So Viserys ignored the precedent that was set by making him king in order to install his daughter. He then proceeded to remarry and have sons, but still chose to leave Rhaenyra as his heir. You guys are right that so much of this had to do with Aemma. He felt such guilt over her death. And she was the love of his life. The actor even confirmed that this was how he played Viserys and his motivations. The creators of the show said that Viserysâ disease was supposed to be a form of leprosy. The actor said that because of his guilt over what happened to Aemma he never took trying to treat it too seriously because he thought it was his fate. And in that final moment when he said âmy love,â he was supposed to be envisioning Aemma as he died. The confusion between Alicent and Viserys at his deathbed was not only because he thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. Remember back to the episode three with the hunt. A very drunk Viserys was talking to a very pregnant Alicent by the bonfire. And he was telling her about his dream of a son born to him that would wear the Conquerorâs crown and sit the Iron Throne. And at that moment he questioned whether his decision to make Rhaenyra his heir was the right choice. Well now Alicent is hearing him talk about a dream and using the name Aegon. To wrap up, one of the things I really enjoyed in this episode was seeing Jace and Helaena dancing. It felt like a moment of what could have been, if Alicent had just agreed to Rhaenyraâs suggestion that they wed those two back in episode six, right after Joffrey was born. They could have combined both factions of the Targaryen House that are currently competing with each other. Instead Alicent had her son Aegon marry Helaena even though Alicent accused Rhaenyra of the âTargaryenâs queer customsâ when she thought something had happened between Rhaenyra and Daemon in episode four. To me this just demonstrates Alicentâs hypocrisy.

Elaine
2024-03-01 05:18:11 +0000 UTCShes the biggest Hyprocrite. She also said she would never protect her kids like Visery does for Rhaenyra lol..yet she's worse covering up rapes. Rhaenyra just had kids with a good guy who wasn't her gay husband, who also was onboard with her kids regardless of dna.
Chantelle Miles
2024-02-29 17:33:19 +0000 UTCYeah Ryan Condal really fumbled by making the Velaryonâs a darker shade than the books. If anything, given that we donât see House Hightower in the books, and unlike the Velaryonâs the Hightowers ancestry is not tied to a specifically white skinned white haired purple eyed race. The Hightowers should have been made to be a black family. It may have helped to avoid the clear modern lines the show whether intentionally or unintentionally are trying to draw. When all the women, minorities, and LGBT characters support one side, the show becomes kind of pandering.

2024-02-28 20:25:08 +0000 UTCThats bull lol, it goes to the kids. Baela and Rhaena are mixed and will carry on the bloodline. The boys the name. Plus lets not get ethnicity involved, since they're all white in books anyways.

2024-02-28 18:26:11 +0000 UTCLittle Luke Strong the bastard must have pissed himself when he saw Aemond for the first time.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-28 18:25:51 +0000 UTCVaemon was wrong though and comitted treason. He proved Rhaenyra correct since Rhaenys solved his issue by agreeing to Rhaenyra's proposal. Jace and Luke marrying Baela and Rhaena ensures that Driftmark stays in the Velaryons bloodline and name. Vaemond was out for himself and his own brother chose Luke over him for a reason. Coryls built his houses fame and fortune, Vaemond was out for his own ambition. It's the grandkids who inherit not the brother.
Chantelle Miles
2024-02-28 14:40:50 +0000 UTCSorry but she didn't take the girls side at all. This is a repeated occurence, she was all ready and made it clear when shouting at Aegon, that this has happened multiple times. Allicent protected her son and slapped him like usual but he is the son she raised no matter if she fake disowns him. She literally victim blamed that poor girl and scared her into silence to yes protect her but mainly to portect Aegons reputation. The things she said proved that but she did feel guilty and sadness for the servant. That's not taking her side though or enough to change her sons behaviour. It's no surpise Aegon has no respect for women with how she's raised him. Whereas Jace and Luke adore their mother and think shes perfect, she's not but they would never be caught raping or abusing women. Even Aemond beat on the girls in ep 7 because of all the hateful stuff Allicent has taught them. Things could have been so different if she encouraged love and to get in with Rhaenyra's boys. The rape wasn't the 1st which means Allicent is onky protecting her house, like she's meant to do like Otto.

2024-02-28 13:44:14 +0000 UTCsince this season is coming to an end, i was wondering if you guys have considered doing a season review like you did for aot? you guys have been having such good discussions and i think a lot of people would enjoy you guys discussing your favorite characters, scenes, and predictions etc!! i mean ik i would cus this is one of the shows i could talk about foreverrr đ© i think it would be a good idea for got too đđđŸ

But yeah, every episode it's just give me goosebumps, what a masterpiece. I can see in your faces that you are really enjoying itđ thanks for the reaction.
Mei Nano
2024-02-25 13:31:45 +0000 UTCAdaptations are not 1:1 recreations of the source material. Taking the books and using that as a screenplay is not viable which is why things are cut, modified or have additional scenes/dialogue added to the adaptation to better suit the flow of the story and pacing, this means characters can be changed to suit a trope that works well on-screen. Its tiring when so many people nowadays think everything in an adaptation's source material would suit a video format, there is a reason directors choose to change these things and like the majority of others' opinions (based on high review ratings and general social media reception) I think season 1 of HOTD was incredible and they achieved something akin to the peak of GOT drama.

BipolarKitten
2024-02-24 16:40:50 +0000 UTCI also think that Rhaenys watching Vicerys do what he did to defend Rhaenyra helped her confirm her decision to back Rhaenyra!
Brittany Mitchell
2024-02-24 02:47:18 +0000 UTCUgh it amazes me that just watching a debilitated man walk across a room has so much emotion and weight behind it that it is, in my opinion, the best scene of the season, and one of the best scenes in GOT or HoTD... Chills every time and I've seen this scene about 10 times XD
Brittany Mitchell
2024-02-24 02:37:26 +0000 UTCSuch an incredible, unforgettable scene, and this show is not lacking in that regard at all. If you guys are curious as to what illness Vicerys had, I think it's assumed to be leprosy, though this isn't confirmed to my knowledge.

2024-02-24 00:15:53 +0000 UTCAnd Rhaenyra would rather condemn her kids to death by making them bastards than be a truly loving mother
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 23:47:14 +0000 UTCSecond having bastards was not "the cause of all the bad things that happened to Rhaenyra". It wouldn't matter if she only had perfect Targaryen kids and never made a mistake in her life. As Otto said "it wouldn't matter if she was Jaehaerys himself born again". All that matters is that she is a woman. And the reason it's all that matters is not because "that's how succession is". The Targaryens exempted themselves from the rules that you can't marry twice and that you can't marry your siblings. They could have exempted themselves from the rule that women can't inherit. Hell,it would be easier because there is precedent in Dorne! The implied reason in the book for why Jaehaerys didn't do it, and why there is so much resistance to her claim is very, very simple: misogyny. We as modern readers/viewers are meant to disagree with that mentality and cheer for someone fighting against it, though not blindly of course, Rhaenyra is definitely not above criticism in some of her other choices. But saying that she should just "not have kids" and let the throne go to Aegon...that's just abandoning her claim in essence. You can't say that a woman should be allowed to be queen, but only if she doesn't have kids. That's nonsense.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 23:12:07 +0000 UTCThere's so much nonsense here it hurts my brain,but I feel compelled to respond for some reason lol. Starting with the easy stuff, there is nothing wrong with having a king who may or may not be a bastard as long as he is smart and decent, as Jace is. It's an open question whether Daeron II was a bastard himself and he was one of the best kings of Westeros. The idea that being a bastard makes you inferior is supposed to be a nonsensical medieval superstition,not something that a modern viewer actually believes, Jesus.

Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 22:29:29 +0000 UTCThat's scraping the bottom of the barrel. You'd have to have very very veeeery low standards for bravery to be impressed by that moment. Especially considering that SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 9, he is very much portrayed as a coward on the next episode. And while we are at it,we learn even more unsavory things about him there.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 22:29:09 +0000 UTCYou got me I am an incel. Team Black rejoice. Not sure why you are bringing up sexual activity weird but okâŠ. Also funny how you say Aegon II is a parallel for Maegor, when Rhaenyra is the one who literally gets a nickname named after him đđđ. By the small folk too lol. Rhaenyra is the only parallel to Maegor that the people of Westeros have ever seen.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 22:23:55 +0000 UTCHow about bravery? Standing up to everyone including his own father by telling him the truth that âwe know, everyone knows just look at themâ. Is that not a positive trait?
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 22:22:18 +0000 UTCShe was already claimed to be the ruler the the realm, before Viserys marriage, before Aegon, before her children, all of these was already established. Everything would have been fine if not for the men in their world and their fear of a women in power. We all can agree Rhaenyra's not a flawless character, she made bad descions but could it all be avoid if they put their hatreds aside and come together as a stronger house, and one day if Rhaenyra dies her sons take the crown.
Fedei
2024-02-23 22:16:26 +0000 UTCcriston said no because his honor was on the line rhaenyra didnât force him to do anything given the context. i wouldnât expect you to know how to read the room youâve never even been touched by a woman it seems.

TheSauceGuy
2024-02-23 22:10:44 +0000 UTC"Maybe went too far/guilty of a crime that 100s commit in college" is downplaying it. Big time. Like to an extent inexcusable for anyone over the age of ten. As for Rhaenyra and Daemon I never really claimed that they have not also commited a lot of heinous crimes, I follow the plot quite well,it's why I had to explain part of it to you repeatedly. The reason the tv version of Rhaenyra is not a complete villain,like you could argue she is in the book, is because her evil/selfish side co-exists with some very positive and admirable elements as opposed to Aegon who legitimately doesn't have a single positive trait.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 22:05:27 +0000 UTCAnd that's her chose, to have kids. Besides, they all vowed to put Rhaenyra as the future Queen , even Viserys said he would not revoke his claim. Just breaking a vow is dishonorable in a kingdom that big and old no matter the decisions was, look a Jamie Lannister. Since she is the heir what does the heir have to do to expand her lineage and crown, past it on to the next heir, her children nobody else. The situation is pretty grey in both parts but could the conflict be changed in joining their families, yes. But Imma stand on one thing only on this, we can blame whoever we want but as the main protagonist or antagonist, it all esculated because of Alicent's envy towards Rhaenyra.
Fedei
2024-02-23 21:58:25 +0000 UTCIâm not downplaying it, just stating that many characters commit far worse crimes in GOT/ASOIAF. Even characters in THIS SHOW. For example, episode 7: Which is worse by comparison, rape or the murder of an innocent man? We just saw in episode 7 Rhaenyra and Daemon have a poor servant MURDERED to allow them to marry. Where is the same energy for that crime as there is towards Aegon? Please rewatch the show maybe you will keep up with the plot this time. Trying to conflate Aegonâs misdeed with the heinous crimes of Rhaenyra and Daemon especially is pure intellectual dishonesty.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 21:47:36 +0000 UTCIt's amazing how good ASOIAF can be when it's really in its bag. The season that's coming out this year might bring back that golden GOT era when Conan Obrien couldn't even believe how amazing the show was
Lexi Browning
2024-02-23 21:42:18 +0000 UTCWe've gotten to the "downplaying rape" part of this demented defense of Aegon. I'm going to echo other commenters and ask you to go take a walk or something my dude.

Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 21:29:34 +0000 UTCMy guy, we all know Viserys will never say they are bastards, that will then mean he has to kill her, the one child of his true lover. You saying Rhaenyra shouldn't have kids? How many Targaryens are left, Viserys said it himself their line can be easily ended, then her husband can't have kids so she found somewhat love and had kids, and three at best. If Alicent agreed their House would have expanded to greater numbers. Disagree if you want but can't lie that this one option could have lessen the situation.
Fedei
2024-02-23 21:28:10 +0000 UTCwhen there are 100âs of fools who have never read the book spewing lies and having their comments blow up (like earlier comments saying Aemond is Maester Aemon and that Aegon is the Mad King) someone has to step up and report FACTS about the universe. Mindless troglodytes contanstly spreading lies and disinformation and blatant mischaracterization of the story is annoying. If what some of these fools comments are considered âadding to the discourseâ while they blatantly misrepresent the story than fine I am willing to be the one to fall on the sword and provide TEXTUAL EVIDENCE and context from ASOIAF. If thatâs considered a negative thing, then make me the king of negativity. âYour boos mean nothing to me, Iâve seen what makes you cheerâ
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 21:23:38 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite episodes of any show I've ever watched. This show overall is brilliantly done. Your reactions have been great to this. Your interest and insights really show when you guys enjoy a series. I never really watch reaction channels, but reliving watching this and other shows with you guys has been dope. You guys have genuinely good insight on shows, and your reactions are honest unlike the other reaction channels I've seen. I appreciate that.
arcv
2024-02-23 21:21:54 +0000 UTCYou are insufferable in these comments. On every other show I check the comments to see the discourse... All I see here is people adding to the discourse while you add nothing but emotional refute to every single thing you disagree with. I can tell you're someone who lives in an echochamber, and you're used to marrying yourself to the way you see things, and you emotionally project the way you see things on other people because of it.
arcv
2024-02-23 21:17:25 +0000 UTCAegon is closer to a saint than he is to Daemon. Daemons is a raping, vicious, pedophilic, incestuous by choice, murderous psychopath. Who acts with ruthless intention. Aegon maybe went too far one time with one girl. Heâs guilty of a crime that 100âs of guys at every college commit each year. Not exactly comparable.

I like that they're critical of shows, so when they really like something you can tell, and their insights are interesting on the shows they seem to enjoy most.

2024-02-23 21:08:16 +0000 UTCAll I'm saying is that Alicent should've taken Rhaenyra's offer in marrying her daughter to Rhaenyra's son, the conflict wouldn't have been this bad.
Fedei
2024-02-23 21:02:44 +0000 UTCComparing Aegon to a saint is a bit laughable, the character is terrible, not even fit to be king, I'd say even is sister would have been a better Queen.

2024-02-23 20:53:51 +0000 UTCFirst watch I cried when Viserys walked to his throne. Fun fact, Viserysâ crown falling off and being picked up by Daemon, placing the crown back on his brotherâs head was improvised.
MaraReaper
2024-02-23 20:41:11 +0000 UTCteasing isnât rape đ Criston never said no, and he had the chance to stop her he slept with her because he wanted to the only reason why he despises her is because his little fragile ego couldnât take the fact that she didnât wanna run away with him. Diana explicitly said she told Aegon to stop and the reason Alicent believed her was because Aegon is 100% capable of doing it and please use your context clues Aegon sleeps with any woman who has legs he also said it was âharmless funâ so you defending a man who is capable of rape and not believing a victim is crazy.

2024-02-23 19:41:23 +0000 UTCYes he is. If he wasn't you wouldn't need to pretend that what he did with Dyana didn't happen, even though neither Alicent nor Aegon even try to pretend that it didn't. When you intentionally try to misunderstand what you are shown just so you can keep stanning your fave, that's the sign you should maybe reassess your position.

2024-02-23 19:13:16 +0000 UTCAegon isnât in the show enough to be a villain. I think the only obvious villains in this show are Daemon and Larys
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 19:11:57 +0000 UTC@A Weeeell, Rhaenyra is in a clear position of power over Criston so his consent is a very muddled thing in this case.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 19:05:03 +0000 UTCIf the show wanted us to doubt the event it would frame it differently, the only reason you doubt it is true is that for some reason you've decided to die on the hill that Aegon is not a villain even though the show AND the book both clearly frame him as one.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 19:03:03 +0000 UTCThere is no SA with Criston and RhaenyraâŠ.
A
2024-02-23 18:59:58 +0000 UTCWe donât actually know the truth of what happened with their encounter. Just what Dyana claims happened.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 18:58:49 +0000 UTCNeither of those scenes are on par with seeing Aegon grab a girl and raping her while she is pleading for him to stop. And yes what you are saying is a stretch, the scene was meant to show us that Aegon doesn't view those beneath him as people,so he can do anything he wants to them, and that Alicent is willing to cover it up. Basic media literacy is needed to understand this.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 18:52:49 +0000 UTCI mean we donât know for certain, in the world of ASOIAF would it really be that big of a stretch? Also the show has already depicted SA through Criston and Rhaenyra and with Viserys and Alicent in episode 4 so the show clearly has no qualms with depicting it on screen.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 18:44:05 +0000 UTCNo. We didn't see it because people have grown sick of seeing rape on screen in Game of Thrones. The way it is framed leaves no doubt at all that it happened.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 18:42:20 +0000 UTCAnyone else think Dyana might have been a plant from Mysaria to make the Greens look bad? We never actually see anything happen between the two of them.

Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 17:02:38 +0000 UTCyouâre resorting to name calling and insults because youâre clearly wrong and thatâs what people who have nothing left to say do. and now i know you have not read the book, because you copied your statement off reddit, while simultaneously denying the similarities between Aegon II, Maegor, and Joffrey and even defending Aegon II as a rapist. you also claim that sansa and alicent are parallels which is completely false and the opposite. you really are a joke. if anything thereâs a parallel between cersei and alicent.
sushi
2024-02-23 17:02:16 +0000 UTCYou do realize similarities in characterization between two characters over 100 years apart from each other is the definition of what a parallel is in storytelling? I mean this honesty, have you ever gone to college or taking English 101? Not sure how someone could look at these massive similarities between lifestyle, personal appearance, and family dynamics that exist between Cersei and Rhaenyra's characters and NOT act like they are meant to be paralleled. It is clear cognitive dissonance, you just do not want Rhaenyra to be associated with Cersei despite the mountain of evidence that proves that GRRM intended a parallel when writing Fire and Blood.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 16:55:24 +0000 UTCThe changes are necessary. If you are to take a story that was written as a historical account and turn it into a tv show you have to make the characters more sympathetic and interesting, for instance you can't have Alicent be the one note evil step-mother she was in the book. For the most part I think they did an excellent job at that and I don't agree with any of the comments you've made on the subject so don't thank me,lol.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin

Kale
2024-02-23 16:46:20 +0000 UTCAnd that is a bad thing? The Valyrian empire was one of genocide, slavery, and brutal conquest. Dragons are evil monstrous beasts that were used to advance genocidal regimes. Meanwhile the Hightowers have ruled peacefully and prosperously for THOUSANDS OF YEARS before and after the Targaryen's came to Westeros. Oldtown is the largest, most populous, cleanest, wealthiest, and smartest city in Westeros. Home to the center of learning and faith for the ENTIRE CONTINENT who accepts people to become maesters and septons from ALL WALKS OF LIFE. There is no where in Westeros more prosperous and advanced than Oldtown, which the Hightowers have ruled for millenia.

The Quadfather
2024-02-23 16:45:36 +0000 UTCthese are all similarities none of which proves a parallel that would directly connect rhaenyra to cersei.
sushi
2024-02-23 16:44:14 +0000 UTCIts not worth debating with you ive seen you on every comment and I know you are a Aemond fanboy because of the name and pfp. Iâll I will say is Alicent literally does those things first and that it doesnt matter if Raenayraâs kids were gonna be bastards or not, either way Alicent and Otto were gonna use their power to gain the throne because they are horrible people with no honor. Team Green is literally the reason the realm turns into chaos and the hightowers have always been the mastermind. They have guarded the book on how to kill dragons at the citadel for centuries. End of debate.
Jed
2024-02-23 16:41:42 +0000 UTCYeah but lots of lords have bastards, they arenât trying to make them heir to the throne. Every Targaryen who has tried to put bastards on the throne faces justice for their crimes eventually.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 16:38:30 +0000 UTCOdd how youâre defending a character who has fathered multiple bastards in the slums of the city and is letting them fight to the death in child fighting ringsâŠbut sure hate Rhaenyra
Anna
2024-02-23 16:36:35 +0000 UTCThe only rights Rhaenyra has is the right to bend her neck underneath the sword of justice
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 16:33:19 +0000 UTCTHANK YOU. The show is just taking the outline of Fire and Blood and changing it around to accommodate modern American audiences.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 16:30:10 +0000 UTCOk clearly you are like 13 if you think Cersei married Robert on her own volition. How DARE YOU accuse me of not reading the books, when you yourself arenât even aware of Cerseiâs personal feelings towards marrying Robert. Seeing as you claim to have read the book, do you recall the chapters where Cersei recalls Robert drunkenly sexually assaulting her? Was that her choice? (Spoilers extended) a parallel between Cersei and Rhaenyra s become apparent that Cersei is the parallel character to Rhaenyra, their similarities are way too big to be ignored, so let's list them. 1) let's start with the obvious ones. Both Cersei and Rhaenyra are extremely beautiful women, they both posses the classic traits of their houses, Rhaenyra has the targaryen pale skin, silver-golden hair and purple eyes. While Cersei has a fair skin, green eyes and golden hair. 2) They both think that they're extremely intelligent women and then make disastrous choices. Like Cersei giving power to the sparrows or Rhaenyra making every decision she ever made. 3) As mentioned before when we meet this characters they're considered ridiculously beautiful, but as time passes their beauty fades, Rhaenyra loses her beauty because of her pregnancys and for eating sweet stuff and Cersei for drinking so much alcohol. 4) They are both really entitled, Rhaenyra is kind of more rightfully so, but she still is. They both think that they deserve the top spot in the kingdom and won't take second places. (Regarding this is side with Rhaenyra because she was then chosen heir). 5) they both grow paranoid and think that everyone is out to get them, 6) they both have bastard children that they claim to be rightful, Rhaenyra has the Strong bastards, who she claims to be her rightful heirs. And Cersei has her inbred children who are Jamie's but she claims to be Robert's. (Three bastad children each).
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 16:27:30 +0000 UTCAlso in the book this motivation for naming Aegon was supported both by Mushroom and Alicent, characters who both supported and hated Rhaenyra, which is Martin's way of telling us it is probably true.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 16:23:37 +0000 UTCThe book is meant to be based on several biased versions of the story, but that doesn't mean that the show is "the true unbiased events/what really happened". It's just a different version of the story written to play better on tv. For instance Alicent being ten years younger and having been best friends with Rhaenyra is not something that is true in the show but not in the book because "the biased authors" did not include it in the book. It just got changed by tv writers, like with every adaptation.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 16:19:32 +0000 UTCOne of the best scenes ever on television. Felt like you were in the room with them. The crown falling and Daemon putting it back on his head was unscripted too which is wild
Anna
2024-02-23 16:08:27 +0000 UTCTHIS!!! He made Vizzy T such a nuanced and complicated character. Easy to watch, easy to root for, even when you donât like his choices you understand why he makes them.

LeFlaneur
2024-02-23 15:59:30 +0000 UTCiâm convinced you havenât read the books or watched the shows. there is no parallel between rhaenyra and cersei. rhaenyra was forced into a marriage with a man she couldnât have kids with she was set up for failure. cersei did everything out of her own volition. you even suggesting thereâs a parallel between sansa and alicent is laughable. sansa had a choice, alicent didnât. sansa had to do everything on her own and rose up from the Lannister mud to a position of power, while everything was handed onto Alicent by her manipulative father. sansa is a self-made, strong, female character with incredible character development and growth. alicent has stayed stagnant since pre time skip hating on rhaenyra out of jealousy and pride while her dad whispers in her ear. alicent isnât strong sheâs gullible.

2024-02-23 15:49:13 +0000 UTCOK and we see massive Rhaenyra and Cersei parallels and tons of Alicent and Sansa/Margaery parallels so what are you saying? Comparing Aegon II to Maegor or Joffrey proves you must be mentally incapacitated. The only person on this show shown to be capable of that level of depravity, violence, and crime is Daemon.

Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 15:46:05 +0000 UTCHOTD is trying to tell an âunworthy manâ and âworthy womanâ plot so obvious you could see it from space. Could you imagine if the first scene with Rhaenyra (as a minor) was of her masturbating with clear nudity in frame. Thatâs how they introduced Aegonâs character in episode 6. Then in episode 8 when we are supposed to meet the grown-up version of him the writers poison the well by having him be a rapist of a girl clearly younger than him that DID NOT EXIST IN FIRE AND BLOOD. So why did the writers add these pointless rape plot? Either to act as an apology for all the rape and controversy GOT had, or it was for the explicit purpose of turning the audience completely against the Greens in a narrative moment where they should be at their highest. (Alicent, Aemond, and Aegon standing on business last episode, now they should be grown up and more involved characters, and now they are ruling in KL. And before the viewer can even make up their own mind about adult Aemond, they frame him as the worst scum on earth, even giving him makeup to appear uglier when the actor is extremely attractive. But the showrunners couldnât keep Rhaenyra being fat (which is clearly canon in the books) after 6 pregnancies since that was obviously âmaester misogynyâ.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 15:34:15 +0000 UTCyou defending a literal rapist is beyond me. any man who rapes a woman is no real man i assure you. GRR Martin gives us very good example of what âmenâ like Aegon are fated to at the end. conveniently he takes up after Maegor the Cruel, and he is very similar to Joffrey Lannister and we all know where they ended up⊠on the other hand, he gives us good examples of what good leaders are, and you can be kind and a good leader at the same time. we see that in Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow.
sushi
2024-02-23 15:30:32 +0000 UTCDaemon and Rhaenyra are worth less than the scum on Alicentâs shoe
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 15:21:22 +0000 UTCBecause I like ASOIAF and House Hightower who are arguably the richest., strongest, smartest, and most politically saavy house in all of Westeros history.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 15:18:31 +0000 UTCYeah Iâm sure they are so unreliable that they messed up Rhaenyra and Alicentâs ages. The show wanted to go with a more modern sapphic gay bait love story with Alicent and Rhaenyra:. How can you pretend this is the same canon as Fire and Blood? This shit is Ryan Condal fan fiction
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 15:16:27 +0000 UTCIf you are such a hater of the Targaryens, why are you watching the show? đ just to hate on them? And again, the show is based on a prophecy so, Aegon was not destined to sit on the Iron Throne, he only did so through corruption and self-interested people. Same with Daemon, he was not destined to be king.
ElleS
2024-02-23 15:16:27 +0000 UTCJace and Luke couldnât bench 135 of their life depended on it. They are terrible examples for what you want a young man to be in Westeros. Recall this is pseudo medieval times, not a Cal-Berkeley gender studies class. Soft and sweet Jace and Luke are pussies when compare to Aemond.
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 15:14:38 +0000 UTCRhaenyra should have been stripped of the heir status and given to the silent sisters after episode 4. The throne is no place for people who put their own personal desires and sexual wishes above the realm. Imagine how much better Westeros would be if Rhaenyra had been given away to a life of piety and prayer. How many lives would have been saved I wonder?
Stannis the Mannis
2024-02-23 15:11:11 +0000 UTCFirst of all, spoilers. Sure genocidal Dany descended from Rhaenyraâs blood so I guess that is a plus for the Blacks. This also doesnât consider all the HORRIBLE Targaryenâs that descended from Rhaenyraâs bloodline. Aegon III âDragonbaneâ let all the dragons die out lol what a terrible Targaryen. Daeron the dumbass fought a pointless war and got himself killed the process. He was followed by Baelor the Befuddled who locked his sisters in a room so they wouldnât tempt him with their wanton ways. (Very progressive for Rhaenyraâs descendants). Who was likely killed and murdered by his own blood and replaced by Viserys II who only ruled for one year. Then arguable the worst king in Targaryen history (other than Viserys I) takes over. Aegon IV literally DESTROYED the Targaryen house and name. (This is who you are proud of being Rhaenyraâs descendent btw.) Who caused countless death and destruction thanks to involving his bastards in the line of succession (sounds like Rhaenyra) Then you have psychos like Aerys Brightflame, The Mad King, and retards like Rhaegar who got smashed at the Trident and caused the fall of the Targaryen dynasty. This is the legacy of Rhaenyraâs âdescendantsâ - psychos, rapists, kinslayers, kidnappers, and hedonic monsters. Though tbf Rhaenyra does fall under a lot of those categories as well.

icynub
2024-02-23 14:39:58 +0000 UTCSomething important to know is the Hightowers are the family that employs the Maesters and the order of the Seven (the 7 pointed star) So not only have they essentially taken over the throne they have seated people of power through corruption and greed. Their own religion is now preached to all of the kingdom and the castle has been redecorated in a custom fassion to their religion. Along with the fact that the Maesters are very important as they are doctors,scholars,historians, and knowledge keepers. The hightowers have basically usruped the throne by secret. They also keep Viserys under heavy doses of milk of the poppy in order to keep him alive and subtle, allowing them to rein without his own thoughts and wishes changing their plans. Anyone who is on team Green is very blind to the hypocrasy and greed that is going on in the book/show. The only thing Raenayra and team Black have done wrong is have bastard children. Other than that they legit havent done anything out of greed or unfairness. I seriously could never understand why there are team Green supporters out there. They are literally the villains of this story and are the reason so many wars and atrocities have been created.
Jed
2024-02-23 14:30:06 +0000 UTCI canât wrap my head around people who watched GOT rooting for team green. I sympathize with Alicent because she was just 14 when was âforcedâ to wed the king, but sheâs not a child anymore and kept feeding hate to her children towards their own sister. Rhaenyra is the rightful heir by right of birth, order of the king and prophecy. * GOT SPOILERS * The prince that was promised was born through Rhaenyra bloodline and not Aegonâs, so just for that, team green supporters need to be checked because something ainât adding up đ (if they watched GOT of course) Just like Viserys said in ep 2 or 3: âwhat is the power of a dragon compared to the power of prophecy?â
ElleS
2024-02-23 14:20:13 +0000 UTCYeah sure keep telling yourself that. The show version is 10x as biased and changes things to fit modern political and societal themes constantly.

2024-02-23 13:55:59 +0000 UTCYeah it shows Luke and Jace are pussies compared to the capable men that Alicentâs sons are. We saw how they clowned on Rhaenyraâs midget bastards during the dinner table âfightâ.

2024-02-23 08:18:15 +0000 UTCAlicent doesn't know about the "Song of Ice and Fire", but she does know (back in episode 3) that Viserys had a "dream" of having a son that would become king, and he admitted to her, in that episode while he was drunk, he had doubts about naming his daughter as heir. He of course made up his mind afterwards and reassured Rhynaera, but Alicent wasn't there for that part. Also, I'm sure she only heard what she wanted to hear as well.
Trainer Red
2024-02-23 08:07:01 +0000 UTCthis is a fine example of some subtle misogyny lmao remember that they have another parent and heâs an absent father. alicent is not a good mother, but she was forced to have children when she was still a child at 15 while rhaenyra had her kids older and had time to raise them cuz she fled to dragonstone away from the politics.

2024-02-23 06:56:12 +0000 UTCExactly, I think her seeing Viserys in such a state still defending Rhaenyra strongly influenced her decision, cause she def respected Viseryes alot
Mitch
2024-02-23 06:51:24 +0000 UTCViseryes is top 5 characters in the whole Got verse for me with Paddy Considine giving a 10/10 performance for him. He was sadly robbed of an Emmy for s1. The entire throne room walk and scene is one of my fav in all of Got as well, I get goosebumps no matter how many times I watch it. Such a goated character and def my fav in HOTD.

2024-02-23 06:49:17 +0000 UTCOh damn we already here. A blessing

2024-02-23 06:48:50 +0000 UTCUnfortunately speaking the truth usually gets you killed in this world. RIP Vaemond đ He went out standing on business

2024-02-23 06:48:39 +0000 UTCI honestly don't understand why people are team black. Greens are more badass, in my opinion.
Princess Zuma
2024-02-23 06:46:00 +0000 UTCIm team Black, so I dont wanna defend Alicent too much, but it doesnt have to be her fault that theyre the way they are. Luce and Jace had a mom who basically didnt have responsibilities and who could raise them to be kind men AS WELL as had two dads(now three) who take care of them. Meanwhile Aemond and Aegon had a dying father king who barely spoke to them, and an overworked crazed mother looking to get them into power. They didnt have the child-rearing they deserve, and its the systems fault more than it is Alicents.

2024-02-23 06:36:29 +0000 UTCBro, Viserys got up from his death bed after months (probably years) of just lying around for death to claim him, simply to sit on the throne and reaffirm Luke as heir to Driftmark. That, in itself, once again reaffirms that Rhaenyra is his heir, because the only reason why *Luke* would be the one to inherit Driftmark and not Jace - the first born - is because Jace would be the Prince of Dragonstone/heir to Rhaenyra. Viserys went through all that effort with a clear mind, adding to the 20 years of upholding Rhaenyraâs claim despite Aegonâs birth. The fact that Alicent chose to pay attention to Viserysâ words when he was drunk on milk of the poppy, while ignoring what went down *on that same day* while he was fully lucid, is completely delusional on her part.

2024-02-23 06:35:23 +0000 UTCWorth noting that the Dance of the Dragons book is from the Maesters perspective. Imo the show is the unbiased official telling of the story.
jblakk
2024-02-23 06:33:56 +0000 UTCWill you guys watch Game of Thrones after season 2 of House of the Dragon or maybe even start it before season 2? HOTD is going to have more than two seasons.
TheSauceGuy
2024-02-23 06:27:10 +0000 UTCSo that wasn't Jason Lannister the guy Rhaenerya rejected on the council. That was his twin brother. I forget his name but he's been on the council since the beginning
Ana
2024-02-23 06:21:02 +0000 UTCAm I the only one who thinks Jace really looks like Ser Criston Cole? Obviously, Cole isn't the father based on the time he was born though.
TheSauceGuy
2024-02-23 06:14:30 +0000 UTCâhow is aegon such a bum?â because his mother is alicent lmaooo
Mai
2024-02-23 06:08:56 +0000 UTCI think Rhaenys changed her mind after seeing Viserys back up Rhaenyra so so strongly and then calling upon her to get her viewpoint. I think it that was really important to her (like her opinion matters) and also important to uphold her husbandâs wishes in order for their family to succeed
A
2024-02-23 06:04:12 +0000 UTCBook Rhaenerya is not the true Rhaenerya though. Remember dance of dragons is told from biased and unreliable sources. The show is showing the actual events. What really happened. Like in the books it is said that Rhaenerya is fat and not attractive due to not losing the baby weight. We see here that's she's beautiful and slender
Ana
2024-02-23 06:04:06 +0000 UTCWHOS READY FOR THE HOTD FINALEEEE!!

2024-02-23 05:24:55 +0000 UTCThe way Viserys standing on business for his daughter brought tears to my eyes đ„č heâs made so many bad decisions and failed in so many ways but he wasnât going to fail his daughter. The daughter of his love, Aemma, and his rightful heir. Whew
A
2024-02-23 05:24:23 +0000 UTCThere's really only one major spoiler in GOT, and it's like 15 seconds long, so you could easily skip it when the time comes.

Sabriyah Ali
2024-02-23 05:09:34 +0000 UTCIn the book it says that Rhaenyra named her own kid after Aegon the Conqueror as an insult to Alicent and her Aegon. Then again book Rhaenyra is way pettier than tv show Rhaenyra.
Squidward's Grumpier Cousin
2024-02-23 05:05:42 +0000 UTCthis episode is interesting because you can clearly see the difference between rhaenyra's sons and alicent's. rhaenyra's sons are gentlemen and kind while alicent's are the complete opposite. that in itself says a lot.
sushi
2024-02-23 05:02:17 +0000 UTCThey didn't steal the name "Aegon" from Alicent's son. Many Targaryen name their sons Aegon after Aegon the Conqueror, who has been mentionned several times throughout the story. He's basically an entity they look up to; aspire to. Also I doubt Jace being slow at learning the Valeryan language has anythin g to do with his lineage. He's still a Targaryen and he's just slow at learning it.
Rayanh LaNansha
2024-02-23 04:45:13 +0000 UTCThere is a major spoiler in game of thrones about hoise of dragon, but its just in one convo so you would only have to skip that part, idk what episode that is tho
Slizzle
2024-02-23 04:45:06 +0000 UTCIf a child, has a Valyrian mother, and a father, who is not a Valerian blood what does that make the child? A child with Valyrian blood.
JJ
2024-02-23 04:44:10 +0000 UTCthis show is seriously one of the best reactions you guys have done. Yall are just so invested to the story compared to any other show/anime you guys have reacted to. If you think this is good, you're gonna love Game of Thrones
GBuckets
2024-02-23 04:37:59 +0000 UTCAHHH this episode is like a 9.9 in my opinion. the music, the ACTING, the DIALOGUE, the cinematography, literally everything about it is so well done i donât have a single bad thing to say about it đ so many things happen but itâs paced so well and the shifts in the atmospheres between scenes are so seamless!! might be a hot take but this is probably in my top 5 eps from this universe 𫣠maybe top 10 i havenât rewatched got in a minute but still, SO GOOD đ©
alexis âĄïž
2024-02-23 04:34:14 +0000 UTCSince you guys were talking about GOT there is a major spoiler in it but it is in season 3. Thatâs a spoiler you donât want to know if you are watching HOTD. HOTD is 4 seasons. Other reactors have their mods tell them where the spoilers are and they just skip that part in GOT because itâs not important to the story. But How House Targaryen is doing in GOT is revealed in the first episode so some may consider that a spoiler as is the situation in the north in the first episode.

2024-02-23 04:33:43 +0000 UTCyooo this episode is just perfect. makes me so hype for you guys to see GOT. the way viserys was talking about aegons dream the song of ice and fire gave me chills.
IchiGoat
2024-02-23 04:28:54 +0000 UTCAemond didnât start the beef it was lucerys he was taunting him when the servants brought the pig . And lucerys is the 1 who took his eye
2024-02-23 04:28:18 +0000 UTCAmond is another reason i'm team green. He's so badass. And regarding Alicent, in episode 3, Viserys told her about his dream about having a son who would become King. I don't think its hard to believe that Alicent thinks Visery is telling her to help their son become King. Alicent like most women during this time is a very acquiescent. She does what her father wants, and if she believes her husband now wants the same thing, she could easily be convinced to do it out of duty. I also think Alicent desperately wants to believe that Viserys choose Aegon to be king because Viserys was somewhat neglectful to his children with Alicent. Part of it is because how sick he was, and also because he didn't appear to be as connected to them. I think apart of Alicent thinking he wants Aegon to be King, is her wanting to believe that Viserys did love their children.
Dana Sow
2024-02-23 04:20:47 +0000 UTCMcKay Looking at the camera - oh yeah we know lol my thing is Viserys was as high as the 7 gods on milk of the poppy saying all types of shit that you know damn well had nothing to do with your bum of a son lol like sure you can say alicent is easy to sympthaize with because of her upbringing but as she is an adult she still acts the same way if not worse then how she was so i think sympathy goes out the window at this point. also Jack was right about what he said before the video cut off. the entire story of house of the dragon takes place WAY before GoT takes place so its honestly fine. other wise everyone wouldve said to watch GoT first then this. also i think there is going to be 4 seasons to tell the full story of house of the dragon

2024-02-23 03:35:26 +0000 UTCThis episode made me cry the first time I saw it, because I saw my dad in Viserys. He had multiple sclerosis and couldn't walk or even move much at all towards the end of his life, but despite that he always did the best he could for his family, trying to arrange trips together and even helping and supporting me with moving to a different country. Viserys might not be the best king, but I love him lol đâ„ïž
