"I'm very familiar with Matt smith's body" Interesting🤨

“I think this is Otto’s funeral” oh, my sweet summer child

That’s definitely Daemon in that one shot. I know my baby daddy’s silhouette when I see it.

"The enemy without may be fought with swords, the enemy within is more insidious" Great line

can’t wait for them episode break downs again

Do not worry about any time jumps in this season. The time jumps in season 1 were necessary to set up the conflict being one that boils up over several years, and the book covers those events just like "this happened in this year, and this in this other year, and this year was super important because this happened". However the entire Dance takes place in a span of only three years. PS: Not to spoil anything, the funeral is for something much, much worse.

The reason for 10 to 8 eps is that they are pushing a major naval battle ( the biggest in the history of Westeros) to season 3. They will have at least 1 big battle this season, know as the battle of Rook's Rest.

Looks SO cinematic. It looks like a movie.

I am not ready for blood and cheese.

2:40 I appreciate that they're showing the army with the appropriate supplies and equipment given their task (no spoilers), unlike in S7 of GoT where Lannisters attack Highgarden and all you see is a bunch of troops with zero sieging equipment, camp, or any kind of setup and you're left wondering "How tf did they take over Highgarden? With what?".

It's so cute hearing your thoughts my sweet summer child.

It’s so frustrating when you hear something like “budget concerns” or “over the budget” in regards to a show like House of the Dragon. Why potentially lessen how great the show is to save a little money? You know a billion people are going to watch your show

Having read the book, you have no idea! 😂

I have a feeling this season will be on par with the first 4 seasons of GOT.

"they're the agressors in this war" Umm no tf they aren't? Didn't Vhagar devour Rhaenyra's 14 year old kid? Did we not see that? Team Black aren't saints for sure, but there's no way they started this bs. Rhaenyra tried not to take that final step but after her son was taken from her, she's not gonna let it go. Not only was Lucerys her son, he was also the heir to Driftmark. The Greens started the war. That's it.

In the Entertainment Weekly article, they say the episode cut from 10 to 8 was not within their control.

There wont be any time jumps, I can assure you that. They also wont rush anything and the 8 episodes were according to Sara Hess not their decision so it was probably HBO telling them to keep an eye on the budget since as you said, this season is going to be very CGI and action heavy. They also said they postponed a big battle to Season 3 which makes the 8 episodes a story driven cut aswell.

rooks rest will be an event 😂😭

My hype just went📈📈📈

I love you speculating about events and fights/battles! Ive read the books and is always interesting to see what others think will happen when knowing it

"Rhaenyra and the Blacks are technically the agressors for starting this was" Luke is rolling in Vaghar's stomach right now lmao. Honestly great video but that take was just funny because of how inaccurate it is lmao the Greens definitely started the war no question. Even if they see themselves imas in the right amd started it to defend Aegon's claim, they still started it by being in open rebellion against the named heir lol.

They fixed Misaria's ACCENT!!!! let's go

Mysaria vs Larys is like Varys vs Litle Finger

He’ll yeah baby, can’t wait for you to analyze every single episode 🤘🏻🖤 been waiting for HOD for a while now. No more Dumb and dumber ruining the writing

Otto doesnt die until much later

"Blood and cheese" If you know, you know.....

8 episodes is for multiple reasons. First off, a major battle was moved from the end of this season to the beginning of the next one, probably since they wanted more time to work on it. Despite the two years of development the season will still be more demanding than the first production-wise. They covered a big chunk of content in season 1 and the source material has fewer details for this season's section, which means they need a lot of new scenes and new plots to give to characters which give the teams even more work to do. Also, no more years long time jumps or actor changes due to them for the rest of the war. This is it, from now on it will be just a straight telling of the conflict until it's ending.

super hyped for this show to return and to see this channel back! can’t wait for all the vids coming soon and more of the best GOT content on the platform!🙏

Can't wait for your weekly analisys of every episode. During season 1 every week was anticipation of two things: next episode of HotD and next episode of Supercuts Delight disscussing it

Vermithor looks insane. Glad they did him Justice. Now I just need some Toy Company make a Scale of him so I can waste my money on something I don’t really need.

Was just beginning to wonder when you were going to upload a new video and bam, new video appears. Looking forward to the new episode reviews when season 2 drops. In the meantime, Expanse vs GoT video perhaps..? I think it would be really neat to see those get compared since their source material is quite similar in style and tone, and since both shows are regarded as having some of the best material in their respective genres. Or just make more of what you feel like making. Tends to produce the best results.

Rhaenyra is NOT the primary aggressor. The Greens usurped her throne and murdered her son-however accidental that incident may have been, Lucerys is still dead because of Aemond-THEY are the problem people.

I’m very excited to see this season ✨

I believe the loyalties of both Mysaria and Larys are not that black and white but more like shades of grey. They might end up playing both sides.

1:58 I hadn't even noticed it when I first watched it, but that fragment is obviously part of THE scene. The one we're all looking forward to.

glad you got your channel back.

2:12 Daemon's inherent reckless nature is highlighted... About that...

As someone who has read the book it's pretty fun hearing you speculate about the funeral and who is or isn't involved in it.

For me it's incredible that House of the Dragon has somehow managed to make the world of Westeros feel larger than what it felt like in Game of Thrones, despite its characters being far more tightly packed geographically AND plot-wise. Maybe it's due to the benefit of being a sequel but I think there's more to it. Most of all, in-depth writing and paying attention to details.

So excited let's go!!!!

The reason s2 has been reduced to two episodes is cause the story was too big for it to be covered in the just 4 seasons so s2's 10 episodes got expanded into 16 episodes with the second half of the season becoming season three which is also why house of the dragon has been expanded to 5 or 6 seasons instead of the intended 4

I like your prediction, your gonna have a good time:)

im itching for it to release! im so excited!!!

you have no idea what monstrosity leads to that funeral

This trailer had me with all types of feels. Holy shit it’s going down people!!

My hype meter was elevated too 😎🎯🐉⚔️

rhaenyra is not selfish i hate how often i hear this she just wanted to do her own thing have fun and not be burdened by duty until viserys told her about the prophecy then she accepted the burden of ruling "if you wish me to bear it then defend me" and this is for the betterment of the realm because her line goes on to produce jon, dany, and aegon so no matter who you think is the prince that was promised viserys was right naming rhaenyra because they come from her line

Its kinda funny when I see folks like make little predictions or breakdowns, and then remembering as you yourself pointed out, is that not everyone has read the books, or knows what will happen. But yeah do not worry about the jumps, the war it self lasts only 2-3 years, at most I could see certain jumps being ones that take a few weeks, be it between episodes or within an episode.

I do like your reporting style.

How many episodes is season 2?

I’m very excited for season 2. I do agree tho on how the campaigning for both sides is kind of funny to me bc the true fans know that there is no distinct good or bad team yk. I get it’s for marketing purposes but it still feels cringe a little lol

The house of the dragon world seems smaller than game of thrones

I highly recommend that you and all who haven't either buy and read it or the very best way is to buy the audio book on audible. I have it, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (Dunk & Egg) the future series and all the ASOIAF Books an Audible and listen to them all the time when driving or in my free time. I just got done with Dance of the Dragons for the 4th or 5th time and started Fire and Blood from the start and already at one of my favorite parts with King Jaehaerys' long Reign. I hope they do a sewries with him and his queen with how much detail they go into with him and his epic reign. It is packed with plenty of what could make for a great series in the future! More over I want Aegon's Conquest and all of it should have started with that before the Dance of Dragons cause the conquest was awesome just from the little detail we get and there is plenty to expand on to make great story telling if done correctly! Just imagine Aegon played by Charlie Hunan (Jax Sons of Anarchy) and have Visenya played by Katheryn Winnick (Vikings) and for the last head of the dragon Rhaenys who just for fun bare with me for a sec. (She could be played by I wish but it would never become true and probably wouldn't be good really but I love her and big fan by our one true queen Daenareys Targaryen Emilia Clarke but she really wouldn't be a good idea to have her a another character in the fam) S back to reality Rhaenys played by one of these that I can't pick from 1 Lily James, she would be a great dragon riding queen and has the accent for it since they seem to go with so many british actors but if not next is another one of my 2 favs for this role 2 Olivia Holt best young and upcoming and not over the top for $ , 3 Blake Lively not seen her for awhile and unknown on playing a dragon riding queen but this character will not be back after season 1 for obvious reason of death, then we have 4Amber Heard (probably too much $), 4

Blood and Cheese is one scene I'm really waiting for.

What’s your thoughts on The Rings Of Power teaser trailer?

Im literally obsessed with the shot of rhaenyra and vermithor

Isn't that just Viserys' funeral? They had to rush the coronation, we haven't seen his funeral yet

Now just waiting for snow show to retcon s8

The Battle of the Gods Eye should be the penultimate episode of season 3 or early season 4 if it's the final one.

Vermithor Looks Absolutely Ferocious!! 🔥 🐲🐉

If its like Fire and Blood, Mysaria was behind the Blod and Cheese thing.

Rings of Power season 2 VS House of the dragon season 2 Who Will Win?

Excited to see the beauty of my homeland in a medieval setting, especially in such a politically complicated and immersive series

At least it’s bringing respect back to the GOT universe ❤️

It may not be in Season 2 (probably Season 3) but there's a part in Fire & Blood that, if they pull it off correctly, has a very good chance of being the single greatest moment of fantasy on screen, Lord of the Rings included.

What DO YOU MEAN THE MARKETING MAKES IT BLACK AND WHITE?? ITS BLACK OR GREEN THEY MADE THAT CLEAR !!!

Can't wait to hear dracarys again

6:51 lol

Interesting theory about Otto… hehehehehe

Yes Blud... doesnt look cheesy at all... in fact the trailer looks sick.

I'm a really big fan of the content. Would be awesome if you could do a video on top 10/15/20 pieces of dialogue from Game of Thrones

I just have to ask, can someone please give me an example of an army "teleporting". I mean I get the complaint, at least what it means, but I can't think of what this is referring to. I get the Dany and dragons heading north to save John seemed a little wonky and unreal, but I don't know,. I just dont understand this complaint.

Soooooo..... ehm ...... no spoilers for him please but since he hasn´t yet read Fire and Blood (U for real?), 1, when are we gonna tell him whom that funeral is about........? (obviously never, we want him to suffer just like we had to) 2, what do we reckon his reaction is going to be when he finds out why that funeral..... you know..... happens...?

Damn you might the first Game of Thrones youtuber Who doesn't know how the dance will go. I tell you you are in for a ride.

The Battle of Rook's Rest would be a hell of a point to end season 2 on, that's for sure.

“Started this war” Are we watching the same show or did Aemond not murder lucerys?

thats not vermi in the shot with rhaenyra its THE CANNIBAL

Knight of the seven kingdoms will have an indie budget next to hotd's, but the novels are really well written

Season 2 looks good for sure.

In terms of the season length look at like this they don’t need to take half the season to introduce the characters and conflicts sinc e the first season took its time and set everything up. While I think they said they have 4 seasons mapped so if they go route there’s a logical ending in sight where 8eps would actually fit pretty nicely in 4 seasons. I have read the books so I know how this story ends and if they do it right 4 seasons should be plenty at 8 eps a piece.

They knew what they were doing by dropping the final trailer the same day as RoP

This is a good channel

Oh god i stil remember when you got hacked your videos are so goated

Umm the blacks are not the aggressors…

Been waiting for Blood and Cheese since HOTD S1E1

I am just kind of tired already about equating a woman whom got children with her lover, because her husband was gay as equally bad as a guy who cheats on his sister wife by raping and who loves watching children mutilated and fighting other children to the death, possibly his own. Rhaenyra is not a bad person and would not be a bad ruler, if given the same chance as her predecessors.

THE DRAGONSSSSS

Have you read fire and blood?

From your prediction ! I think we can tell you haven’t read the book ! But there is nothing wrong with that ! Hopefully you will still like what happens ! Although you might want to temper your predictions a bit ! Hope you still love season 2 and the show 🙌

the marketing strategy actually shows that there isn't a clearly good side.

Can you imagine if the opening scene is with Blood and Cheese…. What a start to the season that would be…

Criston Cole is wearing the Hand of the Kings necklace in battle. So Otto is going out one way or the other.... He's the hand as of now

Let the dance begin 🔥💥🐉

Well Tbh Rhaenyra didn’t want war it was more so Daemon and Aemond.

All I have to say is.....cheese and blood

Blood and Cheese and the two sides will have Damon and Aemond causing stress within. It’s going to be amazing!! So in love with this series. Better than GOT in my opinion. Such a freaking talented cast. Omg.

I don’t think that dragon was Vermithor and it may have been Sheepstealer. As the dragon at the end of the trailer looks different than the dragon at the end of season 1 of hotd

pretty sure they're cutting from 10 to 8 because they want 3 seasons and there isn't that much book to tell

I agree with the fast travel thing but that doesn’t count for Aemond. He is flying on Vhagar, and that would totally make sense tbf

"Daemon and Rhanerya...were the aggressors..." gtfo, they were sending out envoys for diplomatic support (at least in Jace and Luke's case) and it was _Aemond's_ decision to go chasing after Luke and Arrax, no matter whether Vhagar got annoyed by the fledgling's fire, they wouldn't even had to come into contact if Aemond wasn't a dickhead
