Caraxys looked effing fantastic

The deer were really bad in ep 3 tbf but everything else is fantastic

Vizzy T lmao. I just love this nickname.

Well, she isn't flying around, but I'm pretty sure she's curled up in a castle courtyard somewhere. Soaking up that... err... rain.

I like that all the dragons have the coolest little clicks and whoops but Vhagar just roars JUST like an old angry grandma dragon would.

That is kinda the secret ingredient of GoT. It really is a soap opera packaged as a fantasy. The best strengths of the shows is good characters and intrigue. The tits and dragons crowd just want to see action like the show is a war movie.

I think the differecnce would be the cinematography, soundtrack and maybe the acting.

@@sumthingnvm0 That said, I would 100% watch a low-budget telenovela remake of Game of Thrones. The time they adapted Breaking Bad into a telenovela was incredible.

Lmao it truly is a telenovela tbh

If you compare it to most TV shows, it is good. If you compare it to Game of Thrones, it is absolute trash.

I almost lost brain cells watching She-Hulk. Thank god HOTD was airing right alongside it. It saved me.

@@GabesEdtiz She-Hulk was easily the worst show I've ever watched

@@jacobseed2123 For me RIngs Of Power wins the top spot in that category.

@@MasterOfTheElements I haven't even bothered to watch it

The first 2 episodes of hotd are legitimately terrible.

That was a comment straight out of "anti-woke" Twitter if I've ever seen one.

Hotd is woke af. Read the books, they're better. No race swapping in the books

@@rektz2457 no “race swapping” in the show either. Only the dragon lords of Old Valyria were described as having pale skin, and House Velaryon was not one of those houses. Also it’s entirely possible that Corlys had ancestors from the Summer Isles, which are located near the Valyrian Freehold.

And she's capable of emotions other than petulant rage, and "Ima tell you why I'm better than you." She's a rounded character who's strong without having to try and one-up every man around her. She's a woman with a uterus of steel, who's sexually liberated, gives birth like a MFing boss, has a brain in her head, has been bonded to a dragon for longer than Daenerys was alive, and can take her arm being sliced open to the bone without blinking. The battles and swordplay she leaves to the men who follow and serve her, like her husband.

@@dmgroberts5471 "uterus of steel" 😭

Period 🤌🏼

Yes! Especially Paddy Considine. He nailed it especially when you see that he was heartbroken that his family was tearing apart towards the end.

Amond the male actors it's Paddy, Matt Smith and Rhys Ifans, I can't even rank them Among the female actors it's Emma and Emily for me

@@Darkstar_Dayne Emma’s non-binary, but yeah, there’s a reason they’re nominated for a golden globe.

what a joke

@@cee_jay_mcc7914 my sister and I watch a shit ton of tv and recommend shows to each other. We have two categories. One you watch while you’re working and ones you actually need to pay full attention.

@@cee_jay_mcc7914 absolutely, overall it really is a 6-6.5/10. The best season out of twd I consider is season 1 which i say is a 8/10 bc of how great frank darabont was at writing the beginning. You should see what a lot of ppl say on tik tok. I’ve seen ppl call it best show oat💀

Yeah especially for those who overpraise things like the walking dead for example like it’s a 10/10 show when in comparison to GoT s1-4; it’s not nearly as good. Also ppl should just enjoy any show & stop getting a superiority complex ab the ones they enjoy. If it’s a fun show who cares if it’s not a perfect masterpiece. & if it is a great show; it doesn’t have to be your favorite. I rank shows in 2 categories, enjoyability & objective quality.

I couldn't have said it better. I think everybody should firstly watch top 50 or so movies. That way you get a picture what the best movies are and actually tell whether a movie is good or not.

This is why I always look for a CinemaSins and CinemaWins video after I watch a movie. At first, I thought I was ruining my watching experience by knowing too much. Then I realized "Oh I'm just watching bad movies" lol

so true

Well...these are audience reviews lol

These are literally casual audience members

I mean isnt the show critically aclaimed? especially since they are getting golden globes.

@@Human-zx4rb u right, it’s just at this point I don’t really care if critics praise a show or not, I just don’t care about their opinion anymore ya know

@@WizardofGargalondese still Rhea Royce could've got more scenes so her death would've had more impact

I found it extremely boring until the last 3 episodes or so but than I realized of course the first season is going to be boring due to it setting up the intire story for the rest of the show, if we didn't get these boring scenes at the start the tragic/triumphant scenes wouldn't carry any weight and the last episode really showed me that they're extremely capable of making those tense jaw dropping scenes

You mean GoT fans?? lol

The show genuinely sucks

@@IchibanOjousama why?

​@@IchibanOjousama this show is ass I agree !

Majestic full of plot, combat and some of the most intelligent line in human history - people's thoughts on season 8 ofc no cap 😉

They loved it.

Cool visuals is what matters."

They loved all the action and dragon cgi with the lack of complex dialogue !

"PEAK CINEMA"

bad take. the last supper is a better scene than the throne walk - until viserys leaves, then it kinda sucks because the young generation of targaryens are a weak spot of the series.

F*ck yeah. Wasn't particularly fond of viserys till that point, but he clearly exhibited peak dad energy in that scene.

@@Ass_of_Amalek you missed the point of my comment which was a sarcastic take on all the stupid reviews. This series was, photography and cinematography wise, very rich but still the best scenes, the ones people remember the most, are not the ones with dragons or great battles (which are still great in their own right), but the ones as simple as watching a man walking a room for 4 minutes, because the screenplay was just that good.

@@NekoHibaCosplay nonetheless a bad take

@@Ass_of_Amalek how? You both have basically the same take, except you find a different but similar scene to be better.

i blame marvel

@@slimanferahtia813 Kids need there battle, joke, battle, joke, marvel formula

@@masterneloth that and a lot of people are often just streaming shows in the background while doing something else, so they're often not able to follow what's happening or notice the more subtle forms of storytelling

these people watch exclusively the CW-verse and Supergirl is peak telvision. God forbid they don't use the power of friendship or plot convenience to solve all their problems. they must think the best marvel movie was the ones with the most fighting. god forbid they watch a marvel movie with actually deeper topics besides "collect magical item of the day, defeat bad guy, after-credits scene, see you next time" (for example, black panther wakanda forver handles the topic of loss notably well for a marvel movie, and like, that's the deepest marvel movie i've seen PERIOD.)

I find it hard to believe y'all actually watch prestige television, with how Dude Bro Snyderverse you're being about anyone disliking this show.

compared to GOT it is not even comparable sorry, the acting is disgusting

@@shensad2195how 💀

@@Valkorion9872 They can't explain why it is bad because it isn' t, they just say it is dull without elaborating further because they want to hate the show but they don' t have any decent arguments to prove that it is bad. Just ignore them.

You can see the reviews these "people" are giving. I scrolled through some of them til I got bored but they definitely looked sus.

lol, House of Dragons has a 8.5 on imdb and Rings of Power has a 6.9 Sometimes people just don't like things, it's not some vast conspiracy.

Agreed. IMDb has ceased to be a reliable site for reviews, and Rotten Tomatoes isn't much better. Professional critics too often have vested interests while viewer reviews are prone to either bombing/brigading or suspicious shilling. The IMDb debacle involving Rings of Power reviews being heavily manipulated, with countless negative reviews actually being removed or blocked and positive reviews apparently copied and pasted amongst numerous accounts, largely ended it's role as being any kind of valid guide to public opinion of shows and movies. With HotD positioned as a 'rival' show (even though they are barely alike beyond being 'fantasy' genre) it's not unrealistic to suspect that Amazon would attempt to turn viewers away from it though fabricated negative reviews. IMDb does at least still have value when searching for such things as actor/ess portfolios, but sadly that's about it.

@@TheAntiSanta completely besides the point.

@@TheAntiSanta Nah, it's defo a conspiracy of some kind, when at least 9 out of 10 critic reviews are negative.

Their goldfish attention span can’t handle it

They didn't. That's the point. Most of those reviews born from second hand comments. I mean there are people who watched HotD and didn't like it but at least they can say something solid and honest about why they didn't like it.

Dragon gooo brooooommm my quin

all of Tyrions wits devolve into the cock jokes jamie lannister - "To be honest, I've never really cared much for them, innocent or otherwise."

On the contrary, I think these guys are sore about the ending and as they can't beat a dead horse any more they turned to this show to manifest their petty frustrations.

The same people who asked "who's that?" every time a side character was on screen.

That wouldn't make sense cause this show is closer to the last seasons of GoT in quality.

@@sibinsamthomas4719 oh believe me, the are some high reviews and they are just ridiculous 💀

@@andregar-3743 Yea, i know. Though I haven't read them, i do read comments in youtube. Funniest sh*t.

Season 7 was not bad at all, and Season 8 was just alright

They’re user reviews

they have a big stake across the narrow see

I thought that too, that making the two families quite physically distinct but both still "Valyrian" does a lot of work. Really beats everyone over the head about Rhaenyra's kids, for one thing.

These are the same people who jump into comments sections to fight about how GoT season 8 was really good, actually.

I thought it was subpar for how it was advertised. It ultimately fell into the same traps as GoT s5-8 did, except that instead of 4 seasons, they did it after mere 4 episodes. Spectacle over substance. The characterisation is all over the place. There's too many timeskips in s1 and the way they are handled is rather messy. As a result the characters aren't properly developed along a clear trajectory, you're more of thrown into a new stage in their life without a clear trajectory between point A and B. They also skip over some of the minor events I actually wish we'd get to see. The world-building is not very well done (it mostly relies on you already knowing GoT), because most fans online still don't seem to understand the politics behind the conflict. That said, for a show about politics, there's really not enough of it; also not enough meaningful character interactions, not enough... anything really. Rhaenyra and Aegon, for one, haven't interacted all season even though the conflict is about them. I hope they'll improve upon it in s2, but they've already butchered some of the characters beyond repair, I'm afraid. It's not a bad show, but the writing is weak, and as a whole the show is carried by the strong performances alone. I'm not saying it's not enjoyable and that you shouldn't like it, ofc, but personally the show frustrated me because it had the potential to be so much better and anytime I rewatch it, it just becomes that much more glaring to me. A lot of people have been complaining that the show is slow, but in my opinion it should've been slower.

that’s action fans for you. all style, no substance.

What are you talking about? People hated season 7 and 8

@@poisonpotato1 SOME people liked season 7. Of course there were a lot who hated it.

Couldn’t agree more about how disappointed I am that we didn’t get more with those two! They make a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the lives of the main characters and seem incredibly interesting but…nope 😢

The characters are far less likeable and interesting then GOT season 1.

Exactly they seem to have no brain so they like braindead shows

This! ⬆️

Yeah. I love HOTD, but the writing sometimes wasn't that good

Yeah that’s my biggest story complaint too. Another valid criticism is the opening visual isn’t that great. It accurately conveys the theme of bloodlines, but it’s hard to identify the little differences from week to week

*Rhaenys

@Jailow stop defending bad writing

@Jailow “actually the reason was perfectly clear” her reason is “not my war”, her husband said the same thing “we’ll side with no one”. Then she says “our grandchildren will never be safe”. Idk maybe I’m missing something. Why would kinslaying matter if the next day she sided with team black and claimed her family would never be safe? Plus the fact civil war is about to begin? She’s either an incredibly stupid character which she isn’t or the writing was bad.

Out of curiosity, why do you think Battle of the Bastards was bad?

That's why it's obvious they are not genuine. Botb had payoffs and lots of action, but the writing was not very good at all.

@@long_john It's just not well written. The Mereen storyline is abruptly wrapped up with no care. Am I supposed to believe the slavers never attempted to take back Meereen just because Daenerys threatened them with dragons (something they knew she had)? Also her alliance with the ironborn doesn't make much sense because why would Yara agree to just abandoning the ironborn way without even asking how they would be compensated. And then the Battle of the Bastards itself is just nonsensical. Why is Sansa letting Jon go into battle without telling him about the Vale troops knowing he's at a disadvantage. How the hell does Ramsey, who knew Stannis' position, somehow not know that there is an entire kingdom's army close to Winterfell. The military strategy used is horrible. Why is this an open-field battle? This should either be a siege or Jon baiting Ramsay to fight in the wolfswood. And then of course you have the downright embarrassing amount of plot armor for Jon where he somehow is put in a dozen life-or-death situations but doesn't sustain any serious wounds, much less die.

I still love BOTB but from like a guilty pleasure standpoint I realize objectively it’s not that great.
