*Valyria

Surely Aegon will destroy the Lego after he is crowned😜

Viserys just gave up at the end

Facts

Of Old Valyria

That's his problem, he doesn't care and ignores everything But the lords under him are not going to ignore such things, and problems pile up leading to war and the innocent pay for the King's stupidity.

@@caesar.emperor Sadly that is correct in the later future

@@caesar.emperor He was too good of a person to be a king

I think he does care. He attends all small council meetings, he regularly sits the throne to delegate authority, and every major decision is that is made by lords in his council or realm in general, he’s had some say in. He’s a decent ruler. The issue is that he should’ve never kept Otto as his hand. The Dance of Dragons was gonna break out regardless because Otto was plotting against the princess to use his grandsons to take the throne. Otto started this mess the moment he told Alicent to wear her mothers dress to King Viserys bed chambers

He would have been happier as a "country lord" building his Lego set and chilling with his grandkids, hotd biggest problem is people forcing unfit ruleres to rule, like aegon, the dude has mede it clear that he doesn't want it and people literally dragged him to his coronation

@@nimzakrood Yes it is, Viserys always had white hair, but Daemon surely contributed in its whitening.

@@MasterOfTheElementsohhh I get it 😂😂 bc he stresses the old man out

@@muffinmonster2634 😂😂😂

Just like King T'Chaka said to T'Challa, "its hard for a good man to be king"

He's not bad but he was weak as a decision maker. He tried to please everyone and that ultimately led to the shitstorm that followed. Listening to your council is good but to be manipulated by them is not.

Viserys is a good man but Daemon is a demons with a heart.

He WAS a bad King. He was unable to make tough decisions and just hoped they would sort themselves out by playing nice. He was (at least for the world of Ice and Fire) a good man, but an awful leader until he was backed into a corner.

@@gezenews He did send them away, but then his right hand man was burned alive in a plot by his son and he had to bring Otto back because he was his father in law.

as Otto would say: YEEEEEESSS

Amazing 😂😂

If only tobaccos existed in Westeros, Viserys would be smoking a lot LMFAO

Sir that chicken is already dead 😂

5:46

''if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, i'm gonna have to eat every fucking chicken in this room''

I bet if he had spotted them kissing and then them running off, he would have absolutely lost it.If they did get to dragonstone before he could have them caught in kinglanding, he would have been absolutely pissed.And so would the Velaryons.I imagine Viserys would probably want Rhaenyra disinherited after that, as he already gave her multiple chances, let her choose her own suitor which she failed and cut her tour short, she snubbed his most powerful ally, and ran off at her own wedding with all the lords there.That would be the final straw, you can see how angry he is and how displeased he looks, he only ignored it because of the fight and then the fact she did marry Laenor anyway.And Daemon? either he banishes him, or forbids him to ever leave Driftmark with Laena who he will marry again.

Look at the step mom too.😂😂

Same

Who should he have punished harder? His brother? his daughter? his wife? I will say one moment he should have carried out punishment was after Aemond lost an eye. No, he should not have taken Luke's eye, but I believe he should have taken his dragon; as Aemond himself said, he considered trading his eye for a dragon a fair transaction. That would have been justice without mutilation.

He kicked Daemon

@@HashBandicoot356 I do agree that Luke should’ve been at least been given a punishment. Dunno about taking a dragon, that would be sacrilegious to Viserys as a Targaryen. Maybe being whipped?

@@sonamtashi7706 Well to be fair that situation escalated to the point that it did because Aemon called the boys bastards, a treasonous (albeit true) statement, and one that anyone else would've lost their tongue over. So, as far as the king's justice is concerned, I think everyone got what they deserved. Not to mention Luke wasn't the antagonist, he was defending his brothers/cousins, so I'm not sure what there is to be punished for.

Tbh, Westeros only had 2 or 3 good king's in all the history, and i think Viserys is probably one of them.

@@jasonturner6041 He was not a good king, maybe a good or decent man, but he sowed the seeds of the dance.

I would argue Aegon V is slightly more so. He knew his House was weak, and had made strategic betrothals to bind important Houses to the throne, and then his kids fuck everything up.

@@edmeister4031 I like Egg as well, but he did set the example of marrying for love which his kids just followed, and he probably tried to burn most of his family alive at Summerhall so he could get a dragon and make some based reforms. Cool motive, still murder.

He didn’t even want to be king lol. He was so far down the line for him to even envy the position. Then the universe said “watch this” 😅

Majority of Targaryen kings were good, even the "mad" King for most of his life was a pretty good king, he ended up getting captured and tortured for 8 months, when he got rescued he wasn't the same man and became paranoid that everyone wanted to kill him. There are like 5 bad kings of which 2 were just ruthless (but if you read fire&blood it was kind of needed). In total the Targaryen dynasty had like 75 kings

@@cl-hx idk how many times I have had to discuss this. It’s nice hearing someone else say it

Plenty of good Targeryen Kings. Especially the Conciliator.

The reputation of the Targayrens is greatly overexaggerated. At most, there are 5 Targaryen kings that can be considered mad and even that’s kind of pushing it

@@John-xr9ry The coin thing is pure Lanister propaganda

or simply, when Rhae was being in her teeenage rebellion, he should have dishenerited her and make his son Aegon heir: that's for sure what i would do in his place. But we know the story, and as master Aemond says, "Love is the end of Duty".

I think his biggest mistake was naming Rhaenrya heir AND having more children. That should have been an either or deal. Once he had a son, he HAD to know that was going to split the court after his death. And ironically, while his whole agenda in making Rhaenrya heir was to keep Daemon from the throne, she ended up marrying him which Viserys should have at least seen as kind of predictable

@@TheJadedJames yes, i agree.

@@TheJadedJames he had no choice. During those times its extremely important to produce spare heirs since life expectancy is so short.

@@dannyboy4140 He had a choice. If he was planning on making more children then he shouldn’t have named Rhanerya the heir. I get why his fear of Daemon made him jump to the decision, but it was naive to think that he wasn’t putting Rhanerya in the very dangerous position of having her claim challenged. The only way she could have ruled smoothly was if Daemon remained the only male competitor

those and his cheekbones

don’t equate Daemon’s correctness about Otto with him deserving any sort of praise. he was a horrible, rotted, morally corrupt human being who only had his own interests within his non existent heart and basically groomed his niece her whole life before seducing and marrying her. horrendous individual and it’s honestly concerning that GRRM says Daemon is his fav character.

I think he did see it sometimes, but didn't want to admit it. Especially after marrying Alicent.

@@theprinceofhanover5147 because good characters can still be morally corrupt. This is GRRM we're talking about. This is not a disney movie with good guys and bad guys. Daemon is complex character with his own ambitions and agendas, but to say he has a nonexistent heart is just straight up wrong. He is both good and bad, just like real life. You can say the same thing about any ruler in real life history. He's my favrite character from DoD as well, and the fact you think it's "concerning" to enjoy complex, morally grey characters says more about you than us.

He did eventually.

Viserys was not a fool, he knows that everyone lord in his court has their own interests and agenda. He says as much to Rhenyra himself

Yep. He was indeed.

And your kids and your daughters' kids are seconds away from murdering each other. Honestly even if he didn't have leprosy, Viserys would die of heart attack by the time Luke and Jace hit their early 20s. The stress on that man because his entire family is either short sighted, rebellious for the sake of rebellious, or downright evil

I thought I was the only one who's ears were blessseddd after hearing that lmao

He's my favourite character too.

Yep he also does that for Rhaenyra too when people accuse her of things.

Amen

Especially when so many complaints sound like “he’s a decent person and has the audacity to not be terrible! All the terrible people are correct in challenging his non ethically abhorrent decisions!” Lmaoooo

I can't afford shoes

I feel like the perfect king that Westeros needs is someone like Tywin, but Jaehaerys and Aegon V Targaryen are much better kings in my opinion.

@@MasterOfTheElements Tywin was a complete a$$hole! He let monsters like Gregor run around committing unspeakable atrocities, he destroyed entire houses, betrayed people left and right and seemed like nothing would be beneath him to do if it gained him an advantage. You can live under his rule, I'll choose someone else thank you!

@@MasterOfTheElements Daeron is the best imo. Not only is he the true first king of the 7 full kingdoms, he had badass children that was smart and capable. Baelor would have probably been also great, maekar would be a strong hand. Aerys would be smart enough to give advice, Rhaegel would be...umm dancing?

I may have to make a sequel compilation since this video only has scenes through ep 5-and ep 6 had some great moments!

Nah Ned got waaay more spine. He never hesitated to lob a head off if he need to.

Incorrect. Viserys and Ned are completely different characters. They have one thing in common. They are good men at heart who try to do what they feel is the right thing. Besides that, they are nothing alike. Ned was very strong. He earned the respect of everyone he met and most people who met him admired him. He was a fantastic leader for the North and had absolute loyalty and respect of his bannermen. Even in Kings Landing, where he did not enjoy the politics and scheming, he still showed great strength (though not great wisdom). He had the strength to strip The Mountain of his titles and sentence him to death and order the most powerful man in Westeros (Tywin Lannister)to KL to answer for the crimes of his bannerman. He had the strength to call out his King and friend in front of the small council. Whether these were smart decisions is another matter, but they showed a certain strength/steel that Viserys has not shown (other than the Throne scene). As it was said, Ned was the true steel. Viserys was forever bending or looking the other way when the shit happened. He hardly ever stood his ground. Not with Daemon. Not with Rhaenyra. Not with Alicent. Not with Otto. They all took advantage of him or simply ignored him amd there was no pushback. His weakness did help sow the seeds for the dance of dragons.

@@garym6338 No, he was not. If Ned had the balls, he'd have revealed Cersei's treason to Robert so he could disinherit her brood and install a new heir before he died.

@@HolyknightVader999 First off Robert was already on his fatal hunting trip when Ned got the proof. Secondly, that had nothing to do with balls or strength and everything to do with Ned’s own sense of morality. Ned didn’t fear telling Robert. He had ethical qualms with what Robert would do when he found out (i.e kill Cersei and her children), which is why he chose to confront Cersei first instead and tell her he knew the truth to give her chance to flee with her children. Now, we both know that wasn’t a smart decision, but the mistake was made not out of weakness, but compassion and mercy. Being strong does not equal being a cruel and merciless asshole. Ramsay and Joffrey were both merciless assholes and Joffrey was the weakest monarch we’ve seen on GoT or HoD, besides Tommen.

@@garym6338 No amount of morals would excuse deceit that bad. When Robert was writing his will, Ned should've already summoned Stannis and Renly to confront Cersei and Robert with the truth.

Yes! That scene is brilliant.

Totally agree.

I would have just thrown Otto in to the Black Cells. He's the cause of all this.

I mean, naming your daughter heir, then marrying out of affection over political advantage, having a son with aforementioned wife, and then refusing to marry that son to the daughter you named heir to unify their claims, and by proxy ensuring a war of succession after your death, isn't exactly putting the realm first. He was really sympathetic and a tragic character and I loved his arc, but reasonable decisions, he did not make.

@@lytherael2309 He named his daughter heir because there was no one else at the time. Daemon was obviously unsuitable as a ruler. He married Alicent because they had some connection and she was of age. Marrying the Velaryon girl(I forget her name) is like pedophilia and he doesn't know her and also understands Lord Corlys is encouraging/forcing her into it. The war of succession was not ensured by any means. It was simply an accident that Alicent misunderstood what he said on his death bed. Otherwise she had already made peace with Rhaenyra being the Queen. So I don't see how you can say he made unreasonable decisions. He did put the realm first by not leading it into war and tried his best to keep the family together. It was the actions and tendencies of his dysfunctional family members as well as some bad luck that the Dance of the Dragons came about.

@@NinjaAminga Wasn't up to Alicent at all, though. Ep9 made it very, very clear that Otto was scheming to put Aegon the Elder on the throne despite what Alicent wants. The reasonable decision would have been to marry Rhaenyra and Aegon so that he can be King Consort and unite their claims as the named heir and the firstborn son. Not doing that prompted Otto to turn Ironrod and Tyland Lannister against Rhaenyra and crown Aegon as king to spark the whoel conflict. And not marrying Laena Velaryon was stupid as heck because it pissed Corlys off so much so that he left the small council and allied with Daemon. Alicent was what, 2 years older? Still hella dodgy, and either way, are we going to scoff at pedophilia but accept rampant incest? Kinda hypocritical if you ask me.

@@lytherael2309 Aye but except that Aegon would have sided his mother on the matter of succession if alicent didnt misinterpret Viserys. We all know Aegon dont want to be King.

@@aurelian2668 Except Alicent did misinterpret it. And it's also not like a private, vague, mumbled half sentence while possibly high on painkillers during his last day after years of agonising illness, should override a realm-wide declaration at the prime of his power and health. Alicent is very intentionally putting words into Viserys' mouth, and she knows it. She understands politics and how to rule, if the king wanted to change the heir, he would've called for a scribe to put his decision to paper and signed it. Remember Robert doing exactly that specific procedure for a kingly decision on his own deathbed? So we know that'd have been standard in this world. But Viserys didn't do that so it isn't an official royal decree (like the one Rhaenyra got when she was made heir.)

The dance of the dragons is his fault, not entirely but large part of it. He's the king, in the position which can change the outcome of everything come after his death but he did that part badly. And yes, he's a competent ruler but it's not enough. This is monarchy not democracy, you need to plan the long run for your dynasty after your death. I bet Viserys will be better a president, do everything right on his term and enjoy life after retirement lol.

@@khoitranhuy3544 His brother constantly undermines him, his daughter insists upon following in her uncles footsteps, his wife and hand plot against him, and one of his most loyal houses are vying for the throne. Short of killing every single one of them, there's not much more Viserys could've done. People like you forget that free will is a thing, and Viserys is a compassionate ruler, not a tyrant.

@@SolusDarkcoat his brother doesn't undermine him, he tells him the truth on his face & doesn't sugarcoat things. It's him who doesn't trust his brother & gets manipulated by his hand Otto hightower. But all this was still ok untill he made the worst decision that ultimately became Targaryen's downfall & that was marrying alicent hightower. That one decision changed everything. Not marrying her wouldn't have done anything negative to him he could've chose anyone but let his heart take over his mind. Couldn't see through Otto's bs most of the time. He's generous & peaceful but he's weak & not smart & makes tonnes of bad decisions

The dance was his fault. He could have easily stopped it from happening by just naming Aegon his heir. But he insisted on Rheaneya

@d bollman Having a son was his key to fixing everything but he refused to use it.

I think Daemon’s words were twisted and then told to Viserys by Otto. We never actually saw him say that line.

@@tbakhalid4781 probably, but it still remains that he talked about royal family business in a brothel. Daemon there showed poor lungimirance, if he wanted to stay as Viserys'heir.

@@cristinademartini6653 I think Daemon got big ego and pride that’s why he see no point in explaining himself to Viserys cause they’re family and he’s gonna stay his heir no matter what, that’s what Daemon thought. Another thing would be Viserys is in too much pain to want a reason from Daemon but just want to lash out, instead Daemon tries to show the root cause of the problem that is Otto. Not saying Daemon is right but that’s just how he is.
