Joffrey was the perfect character to play King Joffrey He got hated for that

@@yoshimitsu8643 no he didn't, Jack Gleeson deservedly received exorbitantly high praise for his brilliant portrayal of the character. The only people who "hated" the actor are literally ill and their opinion bears no weight

@@georgemartyn5268 oh it weighed on him tho. A great deal He was traumatized by the death threats the online and public harassments and all that He gave up on acting for years and only recently made a come back

@@yoshimitsu8643 he gave up on acting for a higher education, not death threats

Je trouve qu'il a l'air plus vieux que Aegon son frère ainé. Les fils d'Alicent vieillissent plus vite que ceux de Rhaenira, notamment Luc.

There’s another Aemond I think when Diamond is born he’ll be the main character

He really does. He just has that look in his eye…

Are we sure about this? Isn't there another time skip

@@CrimsonFIame nope. No more jumps

Scary as hell

For sure, has a great presence about him and geninunely commands respect from everyone in the room.

I am still going to vote for Daemon...

@@oraz2857 nobody fking asked daemon bootlickers always gotta say something when aemond is mentioned

Don't forget hot

@@oraz2857 Daemon is a snake, and he banged his brothers daughter behind his back.

wow ^^ never thought of that oO

Both cold hearted bastards too

And they both have her temperament to a degree

You also know that Aemond and Daemon have the same letters in their names? Plus they both look crazy lol

They’re both ambitious second sons, who are overshadowed by their less talented brothers simply because they were born later.

Yess

its giving a young daemon

@@frd8050 Compelling counter-argument, thanks chief.

>Ever scene Aemond is in, he stands still and straight With exception to his duel with Ser Criston Cole. Although I think that scene still fits well under the "cobra" metaphor in that he *is* biting as he strikes at Cole (and wins(.

@@blitzendegen Clever little ( . You inserted there. I like it.

He’s barely affected the plot yet but he’s already become the current most exciting character. He’s like a young Daemon but without the desire to be loved by anyone

I can't wait to see Dark Sister shoved through his other eye. I want to see it on repeat.

@Daemon Targaryen exactly 😂

@Daemon Targaryen And he sneered in contempt while pushing him.

@@CCEkeke I thought Aemond looked more amused as he shoved Jacaerys than anything else. He got the reaction he wanted out of them.

Stands like a champ

amazing, right?

best comment I've read, and all of these are good ones haha

It is❤️❤️

Can you imagine how intimidating it is as actor to have one eye covered? you're at a 50% disadvantage right from the start. Ewan nails it.

Aegon is my fav.. he is funny 🤣

It’s funny how the dynamics changed. When they were children, Aegon joined his nephews in bullying Aemond. Obviously the events that proceeded changed everything.

He knew what was up.

He is like goo on brother roast them more🤣🤣

@@miaveranika30 is he funny?

He really does! He even has a wolf type swagger when he walks…

Eye singular

And rides the biggest beast

god I hate furries

Absolutely perfect description - what a badass!

I just watched ep.9 and he does it even better. He didn't have many lines so far, but every line is so cool and he delivers them perfectly, almost like singing it. Amazing actor and amazing performance. And it's only just the beginning.

I agree! I’ve noticed that occasionally his cadence or the way he enunciates a particular word makes him sound very similar to Matt Smith. Not sure if this was an intentional acting choice or just the result of very good casting, but it really creates a verbal family resemblance which I can definitely relate to; I often get people telling me that particular ways I speak remind them of this or that relative of mine ☺️

Definitely, handsome dude

Agree! Also, the first scene of Daenerys and Viserys in Got, they looked so ethereal there, it's something about the skin and silky blonde hair

@@mint._._ yeah their hair rlly does hit different ngl

@@mint._._ viserys was not attractive. And Aemond isn’t really either but his energy and aura makes him attractive. But if you look at the actor in regular wear you wouldn’t take a double take. But it’s something magnetic about him which makes him attractive and cool…like that’s powerful stuff when you can be sexy and it’s all because of energy

​@@missym877 I've seen his actor (Ewan Mitchell) in "regular wear" & I think he is a very handsome man. He has rather unique features & they are really starting to pay off for him. Also he is an incredibly talented actor. Not many actors can pull of a Timid monk (the last kingdom) A sassy WW2 soilder (world on fire) & a intimidating prince (HOTD) & have them all be so convincing & attractive. He's gonna go far in this industry. As for Harry Lloyd who plays Viserys in GOT, while I don't like the character he plays. He is still handsome. He voiced Viktor from the Netflix series Arcane. Which made me fan girl when I found that out. But sadly he hasn't become that renown as an actor a as Ewan is quickly becoming.

You kidding me? That jaw could deflect a train, nevermind his nephew's punches.

@@danc5644 Aemomd out here putting the Crimson Chin to shame

@@danc5644 Ya'll are intimated by a truly masculine face and it shows. Coming from a woman, he is extremely attractive.

@@StarrySoakedSky who tf said he wasn't attractive? My comment was intended as a compliment, not an insult.

​@@StarrySoakedSky hahahaha, wtf was that, he meant that his jaw was powerful enough to deflect a train, that's truly a compliment, don't get offended that easily

Attractive? 😦

@@frosty1219 yes!

Seriously he's looking hot. I hated him in book but here😭

@@frosty1219 he’s not conventionally attractive, but there’s something about his overall demeanor that certainly is. Probably because he’s charismatic and confident

Take the eye patch off and this is what Rhaegar should have been.

Hell yeah, he does

The guy is a perfect Luther Harkon

@@FatGouf agree, and yet he could easily play a high elf dragonprince, Imrik and those guys

My thoughts the same. Just look at that smooth long blonde hair.

Well the Targayrians basically are Elves in Georges fantasy world.

He talks with his eyes, I can't get over how good he is.

@@TheNumerum exactly!

Exactly. Just look at how many people are still talking about him based on what, like 12 mins of screen time? Dude is an insanely good actor and I can see him blowing up after season 2

​@@TheNumerumhis eye#

Most actors can but he is exceptional at acting with this eye(s). Young Al Pacino and James Gandolfini are the two masters of this but Ewan is truly impressive as an actor.

he called them bastards...that's treason for an adult...they even told him not to yet he called them again...henc they took his eye....they were children who will do anything as they like even here he called them strong just after a man was beheaded for the very reason, that is not equal to them smiling for PIG...and with same age, he can not be able to take that punch...show is obviously undermining the strength of STRONGS

@@krillin7876 Some people just arent STRONG enough (Luke) , Also he did it in a sly enough way where its wasn't immediately calling them bastards, that's a normal enough toast, they're just sensitive fucks because they're bastards

@@krillin7876 but they ARE bastards, and they are not only to inherit some land (which could be ok in the royal bastards case), but the Iron throne itself! And he is second-in-line to inherit it according to the generally accepted tradition. He was exactly in the same position the Baratheon brothers had after King Robert's death. And as for the last scene - why the hell would you trigger to the "strong" compliment if you are not a Strong's son? You are just self-admitting that accusation. Aemond Targarien is the best king material for me right now.

Him and his dragon kills the youngest nephew and his dragon when the war starts he gets his revenge lol

@@krillin7876 So in your opinion if someone calls you a name it's okay to take their eye? If your defense it's going to be "well it's the rules of the world" then that just gives me even more reason to be against it especially when we are talking about members of the same family 🤦‍♂️🤣

exactly, he doesn't do much but stands out a lot, you gotta laugh at some Daemon fans who are angry at critics who said that he stood out, saying "he didn't do anything", well yeah that's the point, he didn't do anything but he still left a great impact

​@@heizeking3557 Do daemon fans really think he would stand a chance against Aemond in a fair 1v1? Dude got rekt by cole in a tourney, it wouldn't even be a fair fight.

Not just having the most powerful dragon and lineage of kings, but imagine how tiring it must be to constantly be hearing from your mother and grandfather that a war is coming and you personally need to be prepared to fight, they’re told their cousins aren’t legitimate and if they take the throne they will try to kill aemond and his family, but at the same time they’re constantly told and berated to not get into conflict with their cousins. His brother became an alcoholic whoremonger, but aemond trained as a soldier from the very beginning, preparing himself for the war that is coming, and then they criticize him for it. He’s the exact copy of daemon, on the outside it looks like he does whatever he wants, but in reality he’s only trying to live up to his name and keep his family going

whats dangerous about someone attacks from behind?

@@DavidoMAMO it's an execution for treason, not a duel for honor

That' s impossible they are literally too op to work together westeros need only one Op Targaryen the land can't have two op Targaryen as westeros can't be ruled by two king

@@scotchthefold hhahaha keep defending the wife killer

It’s bullshit though, his own brother was the lead instigator. His nephews only followed suit because his brothers Aegon was the oldest.

@@missym877 Don't expect logic to actually work on these people.

Neither has Luke ever apologized to him for making him half-blind. We can tolerate relate to his anger. The decision of making Lucerys' killing an accident was on point. Aemond was consumed by the grudge he held for years against his nephews and ended up doing something stupid that will lead to him disappointing his mother and then descending into darkness

@@missym877 mehhh jace and luke was a bully as much as aegon was

@@missym877 They both were still accomplices. And remember, Aegon is the first born prince and Otto and Alicent want to put him on the Iron Throne. So he can't really do anything against him.

I saw it as Aemond standing up for his brother, like protecting him, waiting for Jace to sit back down, hoping for a fight? Aemond is the younger bro but acts likes the older brother. Interesting though i didn't see it your way.

I dont think he wants a apology from Jace because he didn't take his eye... He wanted to fight him after he stood up against his bro Aegon. What pushed him over the edge was Luc laughing when the pig was put infront of him..

@@joshua6207 Lucerys done fucked up laughing at him life that 👁

he is just always looking for an excuse to mess things up, he wasn't waiting for an apology or defending Aegon he's just like Daemon, he likes to bring chaos and fight

@@elkevinski actually in the books he is very loyal and pro his family/brother, so he can look for chaos but also to protect

Fucking loved the last kingdom and Osferth was great in it

yessss, The Last Kingdom is such a good show! I'm so happy to see him here, literally opposite of the character he played there, I'm amazed at his range, he's incredible.

Baby Monk

also Helena here played in The Last Kingdom as well

how was it a minor role

@@phoenixrose1192 I'm good too, thank you. And yes Aemond looks like ancestor of Malfoys

*one of the best

@@ichadoang **The best character

@@joelmvdqp okay fair

BIG FACTS

Yes he’s like men with lifted trucks who have too much of an ego. He’ll be a psycho for the rest of this show. Unless they make him bipolar cause he clearly didn’t mean to kill Luke so he’s more emotionally complex. My gosh I love and hate him. I’ll support his war crimes because I understand him. Also, I feel like since Luke laughed at him about the pig at the dinner scene… his bullying trauma came back and that made him go psycho mode at Storms End… at least that’s a huge element.

Hes a psycho, you know?

he is far from a copy and ep.9 shows it well, even tho at first glance they look alike, but he is developing in his own character

Copy 😑 in what sense and how ? I can handle you full list of differences

@@daemontargaryen6757 they are made to have similarities on purpose, but there are still differences between the two

I mean Aemond isn’t a groomer and pedophile like Daemon so idk

Damn, nice catch.

Yes, the fight better go full anime/ jrpg. It'll be amazing.

More like the boss you try tobeat in darksoul

Daemon will have time to make himself a sandwitch while Aemond is casting Supernova. Then Daemon will Omnislash his ass.

Nice spoiler

I love it so much. It's so hot.

If they teamed up whom would they fight?

@@KhayamGondal the idiots in essos (triarchy)

@@KhayamGondal probably dorne eventually or the triachy

Imagine if they jump on each other’s dragon to switch seats lmao

Aemond is bully and who's a Daemon wannabe (his biggest kill is ambushing an unarmed family member who was not only riding a far smaller dragon, but was even further disadvantaged because of a storm). Hence the stare-downs from Daemon. Daemon sees Aemond for what he really is.

He wasn’t looking at daemon he was laughing with Aegon.

@@aengusog3415 Aegon wasnt on the side of the table where he was looking, and I doubt he was staring at a wall and smiling. He was starring at either Daemon or Rhaenyra.

lmao these delusion aemond stans fantasies...

@@hereiam8Hell i dont blame him! Aemond and aegon together and as well the dragons were the only reason why i watched the show in the first place.Even daemon by himself would not convince me to watch the show.

I thought exactly the same when i saw him as a kid but i didnt know he was going to be so ruthless

@@anaclarisaarrosio9192 well it's what being bullied and losing an eye does to someone, but I like how he turns out, very interesting character

Yea its true, he has the flinch, but he also looks at Daemon like "damn im gonna be like that in a few years" sorta respect for the badassery

He is not looking with compassion or vulnerability. He looked shocked because that was his first time seeing Daemon in action. Rhanerya wasn’t t shocked and neither was viserys becasue they’ve seen this behavior in daemon before. But daemon has been practically away from his nephews all their lives, so this was an introduction into finally seeing what the rumors of their uncle was about. And he’s impressed. Impressed by his balls and his fierce loyalty to not take any shit from anyone coming for his family. And Aemond is literally the same.

true. cast was never an issue with GoT, writing just sunk.

It shouldn't, because the directors won't have to come up with new plotlines as the complete source material is already there

@@soumyabhattacharya1181 yeah it seems like house of the dragon is following the book which GOT didn’t and that was their mistake the book had the perfect storytelling but the director of the show wanted to add in his own ending and change a few things that didn’t make sense for example lady Catlyn dying at the red wedding which wasn’t paste of the book she was supposed to be resurrected as lady stone heart that would of been way cooler for the show

@@yungog2o3 what happens to lady catlyn in the book ?? Her death sent a chill down my spine the entire red wedding was a great episode ...

@@nikhilvasanth6236 in the book after her death at the red wedding Beric the guy with the eye patch who comes back to life uses his power to revive her and she becomes lady stone heart a ghostly figure who lurks in the shadow who’s sole purpose is to kill everyone who was involved in the red wedding in the book it wasn’t Arya who avenges her family it’s lady stone heart

#growing_up_in_catholic_family

Nice one:)

with an upper case S! :)

I noticed that too, it would seem to be a spot for the head of a family but on the opposite side there were also children. His demeanor makes it feel like a power move as you said.

dude stop with the wolve talk, this shit is so corny. observe during an feast? the human eye judges ppl in 3 seconds.

@@karmicbacklash a power move would be sitting directly in front of the king or deamon.

Maybe he did see someone dying. Maybe he killed someone before. In this time period many things that happened never came to light

Idk if he became the bully here; he only returned the kind gesture lucerys gave him.

@@pizzaisminenoucanthaveit.2149 Huh. What do you mean he "only returned the kind gesture Lucerys gave him". What "gesture" did Lucerys he give him, and how was it returned back in this episode.

@@nissan_skyline the mocking laugh if missed it lol

And conversely, Aegon was a notorious bully to his younger brother, taller and fairer in his youth. As the years past, his growth halted and his face became fuller and more rotund, perhaps consequence of his gluttony. His capacity for cruelty never dulled however.

​@@pizzaisminenoucanthaveit.2149 So his younger nephew laughs, and in return, Aemond decides to ruin a nice family dinner where even the adults seem to finally be getting along, and he indirectly calls them bastards just to get a rise of the boys, start a fight and piss off his mom. Yeah, seems like a fair exchange. He's totally not a bully, you're so observant.

Becuase some things have no sense.
