It's always helpful when Alan has actually watched the show he's supposed to be commenting upon....
CHRIS GORE: No spoilers
ALSO CHRIS GORE: Immediately spoils episode 2. 😂😂😂😂😂
Im guessing its a woke slog and going to end up on the same ass path that GoT did. I wont get fooled again, screw these shows and the IP in general.
It is not that at all. Don't get so cynical you Rob yourself of a great experience. That episode was the best thing I watched all yeat
I'm so jaded with modern western entertainment. I honestly don't care anymore. If it's was made after 2015, hard pass. There is so much good entertainment, western or otherwise, pre-2016 that I won't even waste my time.
Literally everyone complained last season about it moving too fast, the slower pace is equivalent to the earlier seasons of game of thrones.
And also, everyone expecting red wedding 2.0 with blood and cheese were always going to be disappointed.
As hard as HBO can get, they aren’t going to show outright a 6 year old getting decapitated.
And also, aegon killing the rat catchers was in the book.
You know it moved fast? Because the same crybabies said they didn't want to wait for a build up to the war.
“Why would he kill all the rat catcher lol” because he emotionally unstable because his child got killed
Game of Thrones is also a slower burn when its done best. Too much TV or Film moves at light speed. I welcome real plot and character development.
HEAVY SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't read the book this is based on so I don't know all the details but I know some of the plot points of Blood & Cheese. One of King Aegon's young sons is beheaded by two characters called Blood and Cheese and the head is taken by them to show as evidence of the kill. From what I've heard about the leaks this happens offscreen, there's no taunting from Cheese and Helaena doesn't have to choose which kid she has to have killed. Why would they not end episode one in a similar fashion to how the Game of Thrones episode ended where Jaime got his hand cut off where it came out of nowhere and shocked the audience. The scene should be Helaena chooses her infant son to die and it plays out like we think he's gonna die only for Blood to turn around and chop off Jaehaerys head onscreen with both Helaena and Alicent screaming in shock as it cuts to credits. It sounds like such a missed opportunity!
After watching episode 1 my biggest problem is not the show but what Martin has written. Spoiler (but you've likely seen it by now) below:
Either the showrunner failed to convincingly adapt for the screen how the assassins so royally messed up by killing the wrong target or Martin has sunk to "Threes Company" level sitcom story telling. The main assassin was clearly told which son was the the target even being warned by Daemond that Aemond was a skilled warrior and to make sure he brought help. The order wasn't "kill the first Targaryen boy child you find." So I was not only shocked but really disappointed Martin chose to go this way, it's stupid driven story telling.
We don't see Daemon's final order. It was clearly 'a son for a sonic they could not find Aemond (which was never a given)
@@RTDKRunner except the scene didn't really show that. Unless I missed something there was no dialogue or any indication they searched let alone were unable to find Aemond. The scene went from 'this is were the royals live' to 'tell us which one of the twins is a boy?'
@@furiousgreg4397 they wandered around the area. saw the king and his guards, had Blood mess up when he looked in a separate room, beat a hasty retreat to the room of entry where they got lucky and happened on to easier targets. I interpreted that as meaning - these are two immoral characters, running low on time, and deciding to take the 'easier way to money'. they didn't really have a logical choice - once they were discovered they 'd have to tie up or kill the queen and her children anyway (not without risk in itself as it'll cause commotion). so they made a split second decision to get something resembling what they came for and get the hell out of there.
If you consider which end Game of Thrones has taken and what a shitshow that was at the end I fear that for all the people who watch House of the Dragon there will be an bad awakening. This picture of the second season where both women face each other looks like feminist propaganda.
Of course, I can be wrong, but the show is far from over, and a lot of crap can happen. Remember what Dumb and Dumber said back then in case that Game of Thrones pass the books. Martin told us how the story will end.
That means that it’s grown on his crap that Bran sits on the Iron Throne.
House of the Dragon is exactly the same story from Game of Thrones (the king dies and other people fight for the throne), only with more dragons and less ice dudes.
That's how real history works bro
Fewer!
wrong. GOt was about different families fighting for the throne, HoTD is about the same family breaking into two. it is about a civil war, you clown
Yeah I tuned out after season 8 was complete humbug disaster. Haven't watched any GOT since and also not gonna. That was it for me. A show that kept me on my feet in difficult times last decade was ruined at the end. I never forgive D&D
@@stijnvdv2And yet you’re here, 5 years after GOT ended, telling people you’re not going to watch the new show 😂
HOTD is amazing and on par with the early seasons of GOT. D&D have nothing to do with this show.
HBO MAX has a 3 minute short RECAP. Not that it’ll do much. But enough to get one restarted again.
SPOILER ALERT: watch at your own risk
Blood & Cheese is awful 😭
You mean they didn’t show a 6 year old being beheaded? What outrage.
You haven't seen it
You can’t have the red wedding when you don’t have build up Blood & Cheese didn’t have build the red wedding did
And also, hbo isn’t going to show a 6 year old getting his head chopped off
@@mattcollins3591 And People are expecting Fight plus Dragon battles all season but that’s not what the show’s about
They didn't have a proper build up to The Red Wedding either. Then they fucked up the entire event. HBO = hacks buggering omnishambles.
People hyping it up to be the Red Wedding are stupid. No way near the same.
It's sad that they didn't have the stones to do the Blood & Cheese story... I trust it will be good, but it probably won't be what it could have been.
How can they leave out Blood and Cheese? That was a major symbolic victory for the Blacks. It’s unfortunate if this is true.
@@Roofers-Nail-Hardestthey didnt leave it out, they just changed things like they’ve done with literally any big event in the show.
@@Roofers-Nail-Hardest Basically Rhaenyra tells Daemon she wants Aemond, he goes to KL to Mysaria and they find Blood & Cheese and he orders them to go and kill Aemond in the Red Keep, they go and can't find him, he's not there (again how tf can Daemon or anyone predict where Aemond is) so one of the two Blood or Cheese is demented/insane aka Ramsey on Steroids and says let's go kill the kids/next best thing , Aegon is in the throne room with his friends and 2 kings guards so he is off, Alicent is with Cole, and the only ones avaliable are Haelena and he kids. The only thing they change is they don't show a 5 year old getting his head chopped of which is sick if you want to see that stuff...
@@bushmaster195 don’t be a wuss bushmaster. It’s just a television show. I remember in 28 Days Later when he hit that zombie kid in the face w a baseball bat, I cheered! Maybe a smart director would shift to the classic silhouette view to behead the child.
@@bushmaster195 wait Allicent sleep with Cole?
I mean they did get the gist of blood and cheese enough to be OK, but they didn't make it nearly as gripping, stressful, and haunting as they could have based on the story itself from the source!
💖Luv you Guys....great work as always, Gentlemen [} ;-))=•☁
I'm glad to have finished reading the first volume of "Fire & Blood" book back in March 2024. Hence why I won't be watching "House of the Dragon". 😅
Now I can't wait to finally read "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" book. 👍
First season is not as great as reviewers are making it out to be. It’s just ok. Definitely not worth rewatching over and over or doesn’t have quotes that will live on forever.
It’s better than everything we have, including woke simp Reacher and The Girls , I mean, the boys.
Unfortunately "it's better than..." has become the new standard. Hollywood is dead.
Just know that you're in the minority...😂😂
But why would they censor "that" scene? It should have been on a similar scale of the red wedding.
It was not at that scale in the book so why would it be on the show? Do we really need to see a child.murdered? The sound effects not enough for tou
Although I'm sure this is gonna be better than the new season of The Boys, which blows so far.
Season 4 is bad?
I ♥'The Boys'
I havent watched heard more politics r thrown in our face so im not watching the boys. Its so difficult to find good shows anylonger that r not woke
Meh
This really needed a spoiler alert!
It's always slow and just okay. House and Game get over with insane production value and performances. The pace is almost always too slow.
This show lacks what the Starks gave GOT and feels like watching a fight between two self-serving/self-justifying and self-righteous narcs ......or two sports teams where you hate both and are likely just morbidly-watching it with no emotional investment ......like morbidly watching a car crash.
I enjoy the show, but yeah they never show moral characters anymore. Everyone is a degenerate.
I did not understand the hype for the first season. Didn't seem much different that the rings of Power with the obvious girl boss DEI nonsense
This was actually decent made, as compared to rings of power.
@@mattcollins3591 It was still shite Corlys Blackface ruining the entire thing. Or the bollocks about the prophecy and the magic dagger.
You know, birth is a woman's battlefield. They only hit us over the head with that one a dozen times.
Gotta agree with you - there was some decent stuff in it but most of it meh. Felt like a wannabe GoT that scored a goal here and there but overall flat and nothing groundbreaking. Maybe if I rewatched it now and compared to all the other shit that’s been released since then it would look better.
Completely the opposite, this had a woman in the middle, not because she was an unearned badass but because there was no precedent in the realm of who the next ruler should be, if the King did not have a male son. Maegor (the 3rd King, and 2nd King’s brother) took the throne by force not by right.
All I want to know is childbirth a woman's battlefield?
The problem is this isnt GOT. Its a letdown. GOT had a variety of engaging characters. They mixed common with royals and they had good banter and dialogue. This thing is boring. It has no tension and they all seem a like. Maybe its the platinum hair. Also none of them have any kind of close or interesting relationships with other cast members. Its like watching chess pieces move around a board with no real relationships. They have no friends, no loves, nothing. The only one I can think of is the platinum blonde and the black guy with platinum hair but even that is boring.
Yall shouldn’t have gotten screeners tbh
your end music is TOO LOUD on headphones. blows your ears off
Not looking forward to 2 after 1. Wasn't enjoying it but finally checked out when Doctor Who went LeRoy Jenkins and lived. Just too much dumb stuff.
… it’s literally based on the book.
@@mattcollins3591 it does happen differently in the book though
Never understood the fascination with this nonsense. I’ve always found HOTD to be a snore fest. Never got through season one. BORING AS ALL HELL.
Maybe you're a bit thick?
THIS VIDEO GIVES A PLOT SPOILER AWAY - C'mon guys, talk about no spoilers and then continue to hint at a spoiler and then finally spill the beans about the spoiler. Please add "spoiler" in the title so people can avoid your videos if they want to go in fresh.
The story was spoiled long ago 😂😂😂 it has a book and 45 min of lore that hbo made when game of throns was running. Nothing about this show is not spoiled way before
Lol I love film threat but Chris especially spoils the hell out of a lot of stuff when he talks about it. I don’t mind because I’m not watching these shows but I get why those invested surely would.
Shouldn’t you have assumed that there would be spoilers in a review about a new show?
@@NightsEye1117 I do, but I don’t think it’s unfair for someone to assume when someone says “no spoilers” or the video doesn’t say spoilers that there indeed won’t be spoilers.
Thanks now I will not watch this video. Thanks for saving me from ruining my excitement
You should have rewatched s1. I did, it was even better the 2nd time, and at least it refreshed my memory about the characters.
Maybe our expectations are so high that anything they give us might look disappointing.
🤣😂😅 Chris make me laugh!
They should’ve done a 30 minute optional/teaser recap video of the 1st season then hit the ground running for the start of season 2.
I didn't enjoy season 1
You guys are cry babies. I hate that you and others get these early screenings to just spoil shit before we can even form our own opinions
Alan: Like me, handsome and--
Chris: Anyways...
Its a god damn soap opera...
After they ruined the original Game of Thrones show I vowed NEVER to watch the new series!
B&C never going to be a red wedding event, an overhyped event by the fandom. That being said, beheading a toddler is on the level of things we’ve seen in GoT and is a good enough retaliation objectively. Heir to the Throne is of higher status than Heir to Driftmark.
Ofc the logistics are so, that we haven’t spent much time with Aegon’s kids, this there isn’t that much of an emotional stake for the viewer.
Jesus I didn’t know people want action 🤦♂️ 😭😭 GOT/HOTD isn’t about that 😭
I just wanna see the war episodes, I skipped through half of season 1 because of the cursing and numerous nudity scenes.
There's barely any nudity or curse words. You'd have a heart attack with Game of Thrones.
@@Hero_Of_Old Already watched Game of Thrones back before I gave my life to Jesus. I struggled to watch House of the Dragon, hence the skipping scenes.
This was a very normie review and when it comes to alot of the comments, why still be hanging around if your going to hold Game of Thrones ending against this show years later? Just move on to something else.
It all still leads to that ending no matter how good it is. Either they change it by providing new information and plot developments or this show means nothing.
Was there anyone else that didn't like the first season? I wanted to. It's like Guardians of the Galaxy 3... everyone else loved it and if you don't like it "we hate you and you're stupid face!!!"
I was a slow and untimely fan of the original six seasons (yes, not the last two with everyone kissing the women's tails...GOT) and from the start of this spin off, it's been an estrogen fest... Which lady has the bigger "male anatomy"?
Somehow the first six seasons balanced out the sexes with various kinds of strong female characters...evil kind of strong like Circe and good kind of strong like Catelyn Clark. The women seemed to real as they are in the real world.
Anyway... the first season of the spin off was meh to dumb when the aunt burns down the whole place but she's not a villain? The men didn't seem manly. I like Matt Smith but he doesn't give you uber manly vibes... he'd be nice to have tea with.
Who's 'Circe'? and Catelyn Clark?😂
HotD is the result when you try to make Game of Thrones without outstanding actors (Charles Dance, Mark Addy, Conleth Hill) that lift the soap opera storylines with gravitas.
The show has outstanding actors, I have no idea what you’re smoking.
Uhh no, the acting is higher quality than GOT
I hope this season is not just a bunch of cgi cartoons.
Don't remember seeing cartoons in any GOT show before.
Now that I've seen it, I thought it was pretty good.
I’m checked out of Hollywoke
I can't wait for blood and cheese
is there a white man in it ?
many
You're just as wrong about this as you were about NOPE.
What ever your thoughts on D&D they would have absolutely nailed blood and cheese and it would have been way darker than what was in the book
Dude what?🙄
Ce sont clairement 2 youtubeurs Disney qui ne savent meme pas qui est Aemond 😅
Ça ne rien dire ce que tu dis 😂 tu croyais que des la 1ere image Rhaenyra allait decapiter Alicent et toute sa famille ??? Franche tu es stupidement 😅
This show is a joke, I’m done.
'No spoilers but a son may die.'
Great work guys. You might want to look up the definition of spoiler as it doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
you guys are noobs. watch season 1 😂
