This is actually a really good take on those events, thanks for sharing my guy

This is what I took from the scene as well

Yeah, I took it as a strong man just being vulnerable in his intimacy (because of his concerns over politics), you can see that in the kind, motherly embrace the girl gave him by the end of the scene

one does not simply steal a dragon lol

Yeah, a dragon LETs you ride it. You can't steal a dragon, I think he rode in on a dragon. It's probably Daemon's dragon. The guys in the pit aren't there to keep the dragons in check, they're there to meet the dragon's needs.

I thought the dragon looked terrible. The effect was bad and he looked like a dragon from altogether different show. Dany's dragons were more scary and badass even when they were little.

@@johnnyskinwalker4095 that’s exactly how Caraxes was described in the book. The dragon is supposed to be malformed and ugly. And personally I really do like that they are giving the dragons more unique individual book accurate looks. All 3 dragons in game of thrones looked the exact same. In the books each one is supposed to be completely unique with their own character

@@ryanserdan4267 I don't care if it's ugly and malformed. I'm saying in Game of Thrones they look damn scary and impressive even when they were little. Like you shit your pants when you see them. The ones in HOD look like these sweet dragons we see in fairy tales.

Rings of Power had the chance to have Tom Shippey's Direction and choose to fire him thats going to blow back so Badly for them its not even funny. House Of The Dragon will be headed into episode 3 after everyone has seen the release of Rings Of Power Episode1 man This show is going to be a massive success and Rings Of Power is going to be a Generic General Hospital Shit Show.

@@faustoutloud Yeah, firing Tom Shippey was honestly a bad move. I heard that Peter Jackson consulted with some people who were deep in Tolkien lore when he made LOTR, and that's why the changes weren't as jarring as it was in the Hobbit (though there were scenes from the Hobbit that were honestly straight out of the book, so even that trilogy had some accuracy). I could be wrong but that kinda shows that when you consult to the right people, you get great results. And honestly, I hope HOTD's writing keeps going until the end of the season, maybe even the end of the show. It'd honestly be a better alternative than watching RoP, if it's as bad as it's expected to be.

I think Martin hasn't finished Wind's of Winter because the GOT showrunners WERE following what Martin said would happen. It just failed so terribly that Martin hid behind "It's beyond the books" and he is PISSED about it. "I don't understand how you could love something and then hate it. It's so toxic!" Exactly what he would say if he was really talking about his own book series.

It's not like they abandoned George - he basically stopped working on the show so he could "finish" winds of Winter Winter after season 5 - and then of course it's been another 5 years, lol.

@@CNNBlackmailSupport Martin thought they could so 13 seasons of GoT. The showrunners were bored with it and the basically speedran the ending, with disasterous results. They'd been building up the final battle with the weights the whole show and then it's done in one episode "winter" had basically no snow when in reality there's supposed to be like meters thick snow everywhere.

I absolutely agree. Every other night has armor that is much more practical. Matt Smith's armor is incredibly flamboyant and is really a showpiece. It offers the protection that would be needed for joust but not for what is needed for a fight.

@@GageEakins protection needed for a joust? his entire face has 0 protection. It is a literal miracle he didn't die in any of the jousts... that helmet is beyond stupid for a jousting helmet... There is a reaon why incredibly big full face protection helmets like frogmouth helmet are called jousting helmet and him as a prince, possible heir to the throne, had neither the monetary issues nor the rank issue for not having a proper helmet...

I was about to say the same thing. It also might show that people fear him enough to not offer feedback on his choice of armor.

@@GageEakins A joust involves basically having a wooden grenade explode inches from your face. People died all the time from the shrapnel. English kings died that way. Daemon having his helm open was just Hollywood rule of cool, and laziness when it comes to historical research. NOBODY would wear that for jousting, no matter who arrogant they are - its a death sentence if you know the first thing about jousting. And exactly this actually happened in season 1 of Game of Thrones to Jon Arryn's squire.

@@kuwanger12 The comments about the joust are fair. I didn't mean to imply it was a proper helmet for a joust, I just meant that it could serve to stop head impact from being knocked off the horse so he wouldn't instantly crack his skull open. I think the visual storytelling was supposed to convey his arrogance. I think that because he is the only one who has a helm like that, even though there is another major character in the scene who has a proper helmet, not to mention all of the extras that also have proper helmets. I think the showrunners just went maybe to far with the lack of protection. My main point is that I don't think this was your typical have no proper helmet so the actors face can be seen Hollywood nonsense. I think it was intended to serve a narrative purpose, if not executed perfectly.

A writing book I read once said that it is ok to put sex, even graphic sex, in what your write....just make sure it is about sex AND SOMETHING ELSE! Otherwise you are just writing gratuitous porn. The opening of Basic Instinct (1991) comes to mind....it borders on porn but the writer wanted to depict just how brutal and sadistic this female serial killer was.....

I think you are correct - this is further supported by the fact that in their confrontation near the end he brings up how he has been shuffled around between positions and how he feels like he is unwanted by his brother.

I’d bet that it never happened to him before 😉

They could have had him so put down that he doesn't do it at all. Plenty of steps involved - walking up to the building, going inside, meeting the girl, that he could have walked out at. But it's Game of Thrones and they have a -marketing gimmick- reputation to keep.

It also serves to introduce his paramour

I was hoping that, before the actual joust, he would attach some kind of bevor, or a removable visor, but well...

@@solarissv777 I mean... anybody who's stupid enough to aim for his face is getting executed so it's sort of a sign of his arrogance and rank. "Aim for my face, I dare you."

@@amishverma8415 and what about lance splinters?

@@solarissv777 Fair

Yeah I figured it was to wife up for that male heir

I admittedly only watched the show the once, borrowed it on dvd from the town library, but didn't the maester outright saw that the queen would not survive regardless, but they MIGHT be able to say the baby? Cards on the table I'm not married nor really have plans to ever be, but seems there wouldn't be much consulting to do, there's either two deaths or one death and maybe one life... Reminder to self, never comment before watching the whole video, Shad outright points this out.

Preach! They are just as complex and multi layered as the male characters.

That shit was NASTY. You could feel the impacts.

But jousting in the open helmet though...

@@solarissv777 I think they communicated Daemon's overwhelming arrogance pretty well.

@@TheNerdForAllSeasons but he was an heir to a throne, he should have been prohibited to fight in the tournament, unless a safe armor was used.

@@solarissv777 Baby steps at least he was even wearing a helmet.

Imagine what Shad would be wearing with a budget of $1 billion lmao.

@@artyjnrii sure the keys of 3 castles...

That’s also the big issue I had with that scene! Not the decision itself, but the fact that Viserys didn’t TELL her. She was going to die regardless, and if she knew that, I am almost certain she would have agreed to trying to save babe. I also got so mad…like…you couldn’t knock my ass out first…? My immediate thought was “just slit my throat right before you cut into my womb,” but I get that that would probably cause some more issues. But knock me out, at the very least 😂😂😅

I think that Viserys, who obviously loved Aemma, just could not summon the courage to tell Aemma that she was going to die, not only die but die painfully so that their son would have a chance to live. Of course he should have had the guts to let Aemma decide how her life would end, but this is Westeros, and Viserys was a Targaryen king, not a constitutional monarch in a modern real-life country.

You missed the dagger the king has. Its the same one that Arya kills the Night King with.

@@jimbokilo Well it's not quite a sword is it? Speaking of which, I wonder if there's ever been Valyrian steel spears?

@@KaiHung-wv3ul That... is a very good question, on the one hand it would depend on how common Valyrian steel was even in Valyria since spears from my understanding were the lower class weapon since they were cheaper to make and that's why swords were considered so fancy, you could afford all the metal to make one, but on the other hand spears are cheaper BECAUSE they need far less metal than a sword, meaning it would be better to make Valyrian steel spears than swords, more weapons out of the same supply... Arrow heads would likely be out of the question even though they need less metal again, since what are the chances you actually recover every single arrow?..

Viserys actor really impressed me.

the only concern is it's based on a History book, no dialogues or depth like game of thrones books had. They have to come up with all that

@Муцухито I don't think it was bad acting so much as I find it hard to see him in that roll. He was a grate Dr Who but a bad villain in Morbius he just doesn't seem to fit the part of a bad guy

@@martynhyde1567 no he was amazing in morbius. He was the villian of all time just like morbius was the movie ever made

Matt Smith as Daemon was amazing. His intro was a nat 20 villian intro.

GRRM requested that they put that prophecy in. I saw it as a way to say "yeah s8 isn't canon"

It felt a little out of place to me as well. Not the prophecy itself but rather Aegon being a dragon dreamer which has never been talked about in canon. However, George has intimated for years that Aegon had more reasons for conquering Westeros than simply power and my guess is Condal got this plot point directly from Martin.

That prophecy things kinda watered down Aegon characters for me. Its not good enough that he is a ambitious conquerer, he had to be some mighty saviour of mankinds. Aegon being a brutal conquerer made sense (and Aegon Conquest is brutal, shit tons of people died), he lost his old homeland of Valeria, had great ambitions to rules his own realm cause back in old Valeria house Targaeryan is just a minor house, that gave him a chips on his shoulder and drive him to greatness. This made him a complex and yet larger than life historical figure. This Prophecy nonsense just made him into a comic book character.

​@@protato911 It kinda fits a conquerer to think that his bloodline will save the world, you know?

@@charleswain6124 how would season 8 not be canon ?

I don't think it is overlooked. It is well known fact that women died usually while giving birth as well as children died during birth. It is one hell of a struggle for both sides. That's the reason kings children were so precious.

The vast majority of pregnancy and giving birth has no major issues. Women would give birth to 5+ children and more without much issues. Shows like this have a agenda to show it as awful as possible for the shock effect, which is not helpful to educate people how it actually is in reality ... even if it serves the show to make a point.

@@misiopuchatek152 not usually. Just at a higher rate than today. If it was usual humanity would have died out.

My partner had a 24 hour labour and nearly had to have a cesarean. Jesus christ it flet like a battle of attrition

not just medieval, a very high percentage now, especially in US, where numbers are approaching 3rd world country, death during pregancy is 50% higher for women under 20 than over 20, so that is just going to increase with less abortions.

And it's hard for people to day to understand just how important an heir was when the power of the government is vested in individual bloodlines. Without one, 1000's will die in the wars that can follow. Wars of the Roses or the Dance of Dragons.

And his brother called him weak, likely for those same qualities. Just because they're showing a fuller spectrum of masculine expression doesn't mean it can't also critique it's less fortunate tendencies in some men. Being bothered by the term toxic masculinity seems like an over sensitivity imo, it's a discourse with a lot of nuance and you should be willing to engage with it.

Viserys is a good man, but he's a bad king.

Wait, where did you find season 5 and 6. I thought the Show ended with Arya sailing to Braavos.

@@Namenlos-fo1ek yea it did go downhill but i likedd it till season 6 of couse not as good as first seasons but still good... afterthat it was a shitshow for me...

@@James_Bee It went downhill but at least it was still watchable. Season 7 was only watchable because of the illusion that season eight was going to wrap the show up with a fantastic ending and they were just clumsily setting that up. In retrospect season 7 is just as bad as 8. Season 5 is where it started to falter and Season 6 is pretty bad but it's still not THAT bad. Except for what they did with Dorne. That's a monstrosity.

Am I just... the only person in existence who didn't mind the later seasons? I'll grant you I wouldn't call them GREAT, but I wouldn't call ANY of the seasons great, enjoyable to watch sure but not on the level of say... Lord of the Rings or How to Train your Dragon or... I'm blanking on a third franchise I'd call great. Overall a solid B, B+, not acing it but certainly passing. Yet every comment I ever read about seasons 7 and 8 is naught but vitriol.

That’s more of the thinking I’m getting.

True, but he does later marry Rhaenyra in the book, and she has been enamored with her Uncle for many years. In this scene, however, I believe he's just trying to take his mind off of the stress he is under.

Different writers, finished source material

@@everhall306 I have to question the absence of Aegon I, Aenys Maegor and Jaeherys I. From this perspective they skipped approximately half of the book

@@ChrisF_1982 I wouldn’t say necessarily skipped. The Dance of the Dragons is the most cohesive and interesting narrative of Fire and Blood - for the purposes of adapting that story they began right where they needed to.

@@everhall306 I don't disagree that the Dance of Dragons is interesting. However I find it very odd that they omit the conquest from the series when that is what alarge portion of Fire and Blood focuses on. I personally think many were expecting or wanting to see Aegon, I know I was.

@@ChrisF_1982bit late, but reason why is HBO is rumoured to be looking at an Aegon’s Conquest show maybe also the conquest isn’t as interesting from a storytelling perspective, not much you can really do with it

I beieve this was the direct inspiration. Also, there was the Salic Law which excluded women from inheriting thrones and titles, so all those people getting their knickers in a twist because they think that Rhaenyra's cause is just modern propaganda, should learn their history.

The pointless race changing is enough for me to dismiss this show completely, I don't even care if it turns out to be good in some way, if we want to stop politically motivated token characters and woke crap in our shows, we need to speak with our wallets.

@@acolddarkgentlebruh8205 well I kinda feel like if the guy who wrote the books doesn’t care well I don’t either.

@@jerryhampton5755 Idc tbh. If the books explicitly state how a character looks then they damn well look similar instead of a nonsensical race change. Also, sometimes just because an author says something doesn't mean it's accurate. Rowling said Harry Potter was gay even though everyone knew that was false

@@MrFredstt You mean Dumbledore. She established his sexuality already in around 2008 after the final book had come out. She answered in the media that he was gay and so confirming what was only hinted in the final book. As far as this aspect is concerned she was pretty consistent, though it was never a big part of the story not even in the book.

very good

I didn't care for his villain role in Morbius, but he is killing it in this role of Prince Daemon, and I'm loving his character already.

Really I thought it was more of a I’m a Targaryen u can’t kill me and you know it.

Jousting in Witcher 3 game is the 1st time i;'ve seen heard or experienced ( virtually Duh ) this Jousting sport ~ and in The Witcher 3 rules were announced. "no hitting the horse, shouldn't Aim for the head and If u fall from the horse u lose"

@@SpadeApeiron As Shad explains in this video, historically speaking there were not a consistent set of rules from one Joust to the next. Whoever was hosting the tournament would get to decide the rules of engagement during duels and jousts. Having said that, I still believe we were supposed to interpret Daemon intentionally tripping the horse instead of attacking the knight as a “dick move.” But because he is the prince and his father is the one hosting the tournament, he can basically do whatever.

No makes his character more interesting because he went from a noble hero trying to save the world into an authoritarian foreign monarch subjugating a people to his will and his incestuous despotic descendants. The other reason they included this prophecy is because this show is called “House of the Dragon”. They’re planning to make this an anthology series and the best way to connect every Targaeryan king is to have this over-looming threat of the coming winter in the back of their mind through dragon dreams and makes the illogical actions of future Targaeryan like Aerys I, my boy Aegon V, and Aerys II a little more logical. It’s not a bad addition to the story honestly without this extra magical element Aegon’s conquest is a really predictable and boring af story to adapt. Also the Valyrians make no sense. If 3 dragon riders conquered Westeros, and the Valyrians were sending dragonriders to Sothroryos, and they also had 300 dragonriders, and they were also trading extensively with Westeros, you’d think they would’ve sent like 5 dragonriders to steamroll the entire continent before Aegon.

@@aegonii8471 "he went from a noble hero trying to save the world into an authoritarian foreign monarch subjugating a people to his will and his incestuous despotic descendants." It's LITERALLY the opposite. In the overarching narrative, he is now not a subjugator, but a magical hero fighting desperately to unite Westeros against the evil hordes of The Others, lmao

There were prophecies from the first book. There were more in the 1st and 2nd book than any others. It's not a change. Even Rhaegar decided to become a swordsman after reading about the prophecies. If anything, it's the opposite of what you are saying. Fans are the ones who moved away from the prophecies as the books went on.

@@svan81 Are you equating reading a prophecy to having a prophetic dragon dream? Yeah, okay buddy, sure.

@@aegonii8471 The Valyrians never really seemed to show any interest in Westeros. They most focused on the east, smart empires don’t waste their time on lands they see no interest in.

I think the name thing is a red herring - as there is no precedent for the Targaryeons, the Queen could easily just say the royal name trumps all other for her offspring (and in any case, the Velaryons are the main Targaryen marriage partners, so would inevitable marry in again at some point). Medieval queens couldn’t do that quite so easily as they often needed the backing of their husband’s family - but the Targs have dragons and no one else does, so the power is there. I think not mentioning Laenor’s claim was just to simplify things (as his claim never comes to anything anyway) and to avoid having to go back and explain Rhaenys’ claim.

Just kind of getting tired of the constant whining and complaining about "politics in media"

Difference between talking intelligently about a subject exploring the virtues of both sides and proselytising an ideology.

@@catmonarchist8920 Yes but you can still proselytize and create a good story. I'd argue that tons of iconic literature is deeply political. Just look at Dostoyevsky's writing, or George Orwell, which are full of deep philosophical and political ideology, all very much one sided (of course, they portray "both sides", but usually come down on one side of the issue or another. Crime and Punishment pretty much flatout endorses themes of Christian individualism, and strongly refutes ideas like left Hegelianism and communism. The idea that you cannot be politically biased in creating a compelling narrative is completely stupid, and in fact many narratives WOUDLNT WORK if they did not have something to say, whether it be political or philosophical.

Gotta feel sorry for him as he seemingly can't watch any media without thinking every frame is some form of woke mind hypnosis that's corrupting the world.

I believe this is a common myth, whereas House Durrandon already had the stag crowned before Orys Baratheon took the sigil and words from the Storm Kings, without removing the crown. Its supposedly mentioned in the Dunc and Egg stories that the stag is crowned, set long before Robert's Rebellion.

Keep in mind, The Boys turned fully woke only in the middle of season 3, The Expanse in season 4, etc. Other producers have deceptively edited trailers to not make a show look woke, but then it turned out to be completely woke.

Interested to see it as a birth doula. Some labors are really hard, but some aren't. (Mine weren't). I wish we weren't always getting the message that labor is awful and the worst ever. It doesn't really have to be like that.

@@sarareimold3151 from what I’ve heard in the reviews they wanted it specifically to be horrible and risky, not understanding that a 50/50 chance of death would mean the population would die out REALLY quickly.

@@absolutelydegenerate1900 Yeah their numbers are off in that regard. For the people who give birth over the course of the story, the main characters, it’s fairly accurate. Targs are notorious for having fertility issues.

It was hard to watch but it was so well done

one episode is out dude

Lol. Really? How about using your own brain and forming your own opinions?

They're not only fighting cynical expectations from the GoT franchise in particular but from modern cinema in general. I could honestly see it go either way. The trajectory looks good, not perfect, but good. A cruel third act twist can still come in later and burn this in a trash fire as well. So healthy skepticism is good.

Asoiaf is very diverse with many types of people. They didn't need to diversify it.

The Corlys Velarion thing is a problem, but at least thus far hes living up to his character. They didnt butcher him further than his appearance and that of his children.

@@zachj61 he might as well be a different character, like they did with Robb's wife.

Honestly I don't hate that they made the Velaryons black. It's kind of a weird way to add "diversity" to the cast when you consider that Valyrians were slave-owning supremacists, but whatever. I didn't feel like they made him black and then used that to shove "black people good, white people evil" down our throats like what happens in so many other shows where they "add diversity." So far he's a faithful representation of his character from the book.

@@KaitlinLuksa If the writing is good enough people will overlook this bullshit, but its still bullshit. Martin clearly based his world on European history, as did Tolkien. Just because it's fashionable to consider "too many whites" an evil thing doesn't make it acceptable to simply displace whites with non-whites. Believe me, once whites are in the minority in formerly white nations we will see that the critics were right all along, that diversity is simply a word for anti-white.

His voice cracking definitely sums it all up.

Felt that. Went through something similar. Real women are so much more badass than they're allowed to be when written by angry feminists. I'm willing to bet near 100% of women in labor would make that ultimate sacrifice. Absolutely badass.

@@winterwolfsden You call it badass, yet women are put down for the mere idea of having children, of sacrificing for our children, for ruining our bodies over it all, etc. The true misogyny of our time is this hatred of the feminine and discrediting the female experience. It is in putting down child bearing, in hating the family men who support their wives and households, in pointing out that a woman's sacrifices for her family are often greater than what a man can ever do for those he loves. Historically speaking, women died in childbirth left and right. And the cold hard logic that feminists and ideologues (including Jordan Peterson) fail to grasp is that a flower's job is to produce fruit at it's own expense. We don't have double the male ancestors as female because young men went off to war and died. Just as many women died domestically as men did on the battlefield, on the job, etc. Women weren't stay at home workers because we're weak, it's because working at home was already just as dangerous and as likely to kill us as a man working the farm. A man broke his back paving roads brick by brick, a woman broke her back keeping his house and family and him cared for, while pregnant and recovering and with cramps and in menopause and beyond. A young man died putting out a neighbor's fire or hunting? A young woman was raped and killed by a rogue criminal. Life was/is ugly. I guess what I'm trying to say is if womanhood is really as badass as you claim it is, show women that respect amd promote it. Not just in a KZfaq comment but in the real world too. Make it clear that it is a noble sacrifice to lay down your future and body for your family, your husband and your children, instead of the far too common falsehoods of "so tragic, she wasn't strong enough to bear a child" and all that other Karen nonsense. Treat young women as soldiers, with the same bravery as those who enlist, because through the sheer act of pleasing her man she will risk her life and give her experience to give him a family and legacy. Women aren't just here to do chores and the small things, just as women (and men) shouldn't be relegated to just stereotypical jobs. But we as a culture shouldn't look down on women as weaker or just fanciful objects, nor promote such degenerative insults to the female existence. A mare has to keep up with the stallion while carrying his foal. The least the stallion can do is mourn her sacrifice when they don't make it, instead of talk about how weak she was that she couldn't even push out a baby. (Yet that's most us women hear, either pity and disgust over C-section scars/ stretch marks/ saggy breasts, or "you're not a real woman if you didn't give vaginal birth", and other such insults to the most extreme sacrifice a woman naturally endures. How many find it abominable to shame veterans for losing limbs? Why then is it acceptable to mock women for their own physical sacrifices?)

@@Undomaranel I'm sure you meant it all in a good way, but you don't know a thing about me. You don't know anything about my family or how I've lived my life through my 40+ years. You're comments are probably better directed to the feminists I named in my comment. They're the group largely responsible for destroying modern feminimity.

@@Undomaranel I dont know where you live but that shaming for C-sections doesnt seem common here from my experience. Although this can be different between countries and even cities/villages. my partner is from a village and man or female you can be shamed for the most ridiculous stuff, like the color of your car, the side of the road you walk on down the street, the type of cleaning agent you use etc. What people shame about changes from social layer to culture to local habits and this generalized "everyone suffers this" is not a proper way to talk about it. That is exactly the problem we have with the current "all men are evil rapist misoginists and women are perfect strong always right angels that learn everything in one go". Yes women should get their due's (heh) for labor. Its a tough thing with dozens of downsides for the women in question and in many ways a sacrifice. But a generalized "you'll be shamed" is perhaps going too far, because in some places you can get praised for accomplishing it regardless of what happened.
