![(Updated) House of the Dragon season 2 footage in chronological order [Spoilers]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqEWXjrySAc/mqdefault.jpg)
the lead up to the vhagar/arrax chase scene played out exactly like a horror movie. my heart was POUNDING from the time luke left, getting swallowed in storm clouds, to the moment he died. that scene will stick with me for a long time... it was extremely well done!!
I had to fast forward. I couldn’t take the anxiety
I was screaming Luc fly faster!
I watched it many many times!
When Arrax & Luke are literally overshadowed by Vhagar & Aemon is something out of a horror film, terrifying.
@@awhartig5847 I’ve seen a few reactions now. Each time I’ve gotten goosebumps.
This season went beyond expectations. I'm just so excited the history of Westoros is being told at the level it deserves on a television.
You are the problem
@@joeblow5658 bruh your sped
@@joeblow5658 how so?
Im just mad that season 2 wont be until 2024 like bruh yall knew we would eat this up. y wait so long to start shooting?
@@joeblow5658 Bet you're someone who wants a 1 to 1 mirrored copy of the book in its television version. If so, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
I didn't expect lucke's death gonna hit me so hard. But my god it broke my heart into million pieces. He was always so obedient, always listened to his mother. But that poor kid wasn't ready for the cruel world. And also the actor who played him did an amazing job
gosh I wish he left when he saw vhagar outside
You are the type that really ruined the entertainment world
"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."
@@HArjoC unless ur jon snow circa end of season 5
Naaahhh, lucerys is just hanging off Vhagar's snout, you know, hanging for dear life. Maybe I'm a little in denial.
That last shot of Rhaenyra's face was chilling. Super well done.
Exactly! Every parent knows this look! -especially mothers. We are lionesses when it comes to our cubs.
Yes, it was that there is going to be hell to pay look!
@@originalquizmoe The look when your kid has been swallowed by a giant dragon. Yep.. every mother knows that look. 🤣
Does it really get bloody?
@@valarmorghulis3571 HELL YEAH
i actually really appreciate the fact that arrax and vhagar are still beasts with their own will. it is a good payoff to viserys' warning that their control over dragons is an illusion
I love how they perfectly showed how enormous Vhaegar is compared to Arrax it truly shows how terrifying dragons can become if they live and keep growing
Makes you wonder about Balerion, and what kind if impact he would have.
its like that snake you get that then turns into a monster...then you gotta let it go into the everglades
@@johnofthenorth6653 a....dreadful one, I'd wager.
Vhaegar looked like Godzilla when it showed him standing by the castle 😂
I blurted out "bad Arrax" when he blasted Vhagar with fire to the face! Bad, bad move! I know he did not like getting buzzed but flight would have been better than fight in this situation..
Aemond : " I will take one of your eyes, boy"
Vhagar. : " He can keep his eye"
Gaw damn that ending... what a way to end a season... that last facial expression of sheer rage. I really liked how they showed that the dragons do have a mind of their own and not 100% obedient.
best actors in the buisnessare the ones who can convey the appropriate emotion, just with a 2 second look
Hell ya, they've eluded to this all season. Hell of an ending.
This is an EXACT copy of a comment made a day ago on another review channel...
That bastard had it coming
@@jakepistolero its just inscrdible
No, no, no, Daemon doesn’t look at the crown with want, he looks at it with grief. The fact that he is holding the crown is just this reminder that his brother is dead. Daemon wants the throne to stay Targaryen, and he wants Targaryens to stay as pure as possible. He hates Otto and the Hightowers. He resents Viserys for not allowing him to protect him from the likes of Otto. When Rhaenyra starts emulating Viserys, he gets frustrated and snaps, he knows that with the greens diplomacy won’t work.
Factual
Well said
word
I wish folk complaining on twt can see these kind of comments
NOW THIS. This is reasoning I can get behind the choking scene.
I thought Daemon looked grief stricken when holding the crown. Passing the crown to Rhaenyra made his brother's death become very real. Passing the crown was when it hit home for him.
Arrax and Luke running towards each other in the storm needing reassurance and Luke instructing Arrax to stay calm is as gutting as that beautiful shot in the clouds before Vhagar kills them.
I figured Daemon was singing so that he wasn’t sneaking up on a sleeping dragon. Make some soothing sounds to make his approach obvious, because you don’t want a dragon to wake in a panic and snap at you or burn you alive lol
Exactly. As like a baby. It also helps in the taming.
Interesting how Arrax strikes Vhaegar's left eye with his fire just like Lucerys struck Aemond's left eye. I wonder if Arrax did any damage to Vhaegar's eye.
I don't think so
interesting thought, having both rider and dragon blind on one side. when eventually vhagar fights other dragons this can be a weakness set up
Arrax attacked Aemond's blindside, but missed and "burned" Vhagar instead
@@mertbince6582 Dragonfire can't burn dragons
Atleast stretch reaching like that
Ever since this episode, I have been watching every UA-cam video that was breaking it down. and every time they showed the final scene, I just found it too much to fathom. For me that scene of Vhagar chomping Arrax into pieces is the next best thing after red wedding. bcz no matter how many times you see that, it still gives you chills.
I sort of got used to it after watching it 30 times.
If the dragon we see flashing during Rhaenyra's labor IS Syrax and the dragons DO have a psychic connection with their riders then it would make sense why Daemond knew Syrax layed eggs. Rhaenyra must have told him. I'm assuming that psychic connection goes both ways.
It's a bond they share dragons feel and imitate their riders emotions....
It was Syrax.
Yea I thought the same when I saw it.
Who was the dragon aemon was singing to I'm still confused by that bit but was it syrax ?
Vermitorh or something like that, one of the wilds ones
Daemon been waiting and itching to go to war. Rhaenerya nailed it on that one with him. Incredible episode, incredible season. Thanks for the quick review!
22:28 I do think it is not only about softening the characters, but at the end, the books are written from the perspective of the different authors writing their historical testimonies, which with the known beef between Aemond and Lucerys, and Almond's known character and threats, makes sense that they would write in his intention of killing rather than it to be an accident.
That's what I believe as well. And it makes it even better this way imo
I agree. I believe the showrunners alluded to this and said they were trying to find the truth because they knew it was men who wrote the potential viewpoints of how things went down, so there was inherent bias both toward Alicent and toward Rhaenyra in how it was written.
Alright, let's say Aemond has no intention to kill Lucerys. So what's his plan? Cut out his eye for revenge? Do you honestly think that would make it better than outright killing him? The writer always make changes from the book and that's okey, but sometime it didn't make any sense. So this war started because of misunderstanding by Allicent and accident by Aemond? How very weird and shallow.
@@linaikrimadina Wars are often started not by acts of aggression but by misunderstandings and miscommunication (see WWI), by the hubris and folly of flawed men.
@@linaikrimadina I think he was just trying to scare him for all the torment he put him through growing up. The Pink Dread joke, cutting out his eye, laughing at the pig coming in. I don't think he was actually going to cut out his eye or had any intention of killing him. They both just lost control of their dragons.
I just noticed something from watching an old clip. During the meeting between Daemon and Otto, Daemon responds to Otto's offer with violence and offering to 'end this mummer's farce'. Otto used this same term when he came to reclaim the dragon's egg on the same ledge. Daemon asked where the king was and he responded with 'His Grace would never lower himself to entertain such a mummer's farce'. Daemon has a pretty good memory considering that was so many years prior lol
Well, a "Mummer's Farce" is a common saying in Westeros and Essos, but it probably was still meant to be a callback.
I don't think Aemond screaming no has less to do with making these characters soft and more to do with making them more grey. I've seen this is what Martin loves to do. Make his characters morally grey (or at least most of them) so that you can't definitively say that they are bad. There are even instances where you go as far as to feel sorry for some of the "bad guys"
Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke really killed it this season, the acting all season was phenomenal and so very touching
The dragons are bonded to riders. They both acted based off their rider's emotional desires, instead of their words. Earlier in episode they showed Syrax feeling and reacting to Rhaenyras emotions
Josh Trott from Utah?
Well, if this is the Josh I know from Utah, this is Jose from Utah. What a fun place to find each other lol.
What a Incredible season of House of the Dragon!
That really regained my faith with the story telling, and making the attack at the end a mistake, and Vheagar being pissed for being sprayed by fire. Also “no” isn’t high valerian is it?
According to google No in High Valyrian is “Daor”
daor - "no," "not". generally at end of sentence e.g., tubi daor ("not today") or zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor ("a dragon is not a slave"). dracarys - ("drah-KAH-ris") The High Valyrian word for "dragonfire".
@@adefay2811 yup and aemond actually did say "daor" as well 21:28
Syrax is the dragon that reacts to Rhaenyra's pain during childbirth. Because they're bonded.
Love the call back to Daenrys with Daemon's scene with the guards too, along with the dragon baby references this season and the "I will not be a queen of bones and ashes" line. Really enriches Daenrys' ending.
Someone pointed out an interesting element about the Dragon fight. When Aemon’s dragon starts getting a bit much, Aemon forgets to speak to it in High Valerian, and (in his panic?) starts trying to order his big fella in Common. If this was deliberate, it’s a really clever and subtle way of helping to convey Aemon’s state-of-mind.
This season of House of the Dragon is a great example on how a franchise can recover from a fall.
Jake isn’t gonna recover from his fall lmao. GOT is… Jake will not.
@@devonking6593 ...who
I think a lot of people feel the same way about Andor
@@ultrabigfella I think he means Jace
To me Daemon was taking care off things that needed to be done in order to be able to stay safe within Dragonstone. Those commands couldn’t wait.
Exactly. At any point in time, VHagar could roll up and fire bomb the castle. They had to be prepared.
@@Ashley_e do you mean Vaghar? Aemond’s dragon. I got confused on that and thought your comment was sarcastic, but realized you must mean Vaghar. 😁
@@aileenpi73 No ha….leave it to auto correct!!!
I’ll have to be honest, the moment Luke was tasked with being a messenger I knew something bad was coming. I wasn’t sure how he’d die but I felt it. Still a great scene for sure. I loved how they displayed the size difference between dragons. It also says a lot how the dragons disobeyed their masters. I can’t wait to see how this plays out in season 2
The scene was perfect! Luke rises above the storm, sun is shining and just when he thinks he’s in the clear then BAM ! Hungry, hungry dragon 🐉 my heart 😢
Love that "this isn't a dance of boys anymore. It's a dance of the dragons"
Hot damn this was such an amazing season. Cannot wait for Season 2.
I literally can not wait I'ma go book hunting
@@kiidkif2009 same I gotta read them now
@@kiidkif2009 me 😭
I think the reason why he was hard on Lucerys during the training was because he knew they couldn’t compete with Aemond
Your reviews are 100% worth the wait. Hands down my favorite HOD reviewer. Thank you!
I would love to see y'all do some kind of chat with Alt Shift X (who I think you were referring to vaguely at the end). The depth of work is stellar by both
I thought it was an Alt Shift X nod as well
I love your Easter eggs. I miss most of the details.
Great season, sad ending. Even though I've read the book so many times, seeing it on screen was different. The actors were amazing, as usual, and I expect a ton of nominations.
It's so damm tragic to see those younglings die
The twitter reactions to the leaks was WILD. I can understand to some extent but i'd gladly wait to see how Aemond's story plays out in season 2 before saying they completely ruined him. Anyways, rip Luke. Them showing how sweet and gentle he is really made his death hurt a lot more.
Yes! They won’t let the story breathe
ruined him ? aemond in the book is one note generic evil villain
It's worth waiting a day to get your indepth takes. I love you videos and watch them as soon as I get notified!
They also included the detail of how important it is for them to learn old valyrian. The failed commands to Vaegar were in English.
@@Vertigo2688 vhagar is a female dragon i think
wow it’s like you actually put effort into these recaps showing footage from the scenes you are explaining. love your channel keep it up! season was crazy!!
“Then the storm broke, and the Dragons danced”
You make fantastic content. Your reviews are always my favorite
I’ll always wait for your deep dives! Sooooo worth it!!
Always enjoy the content 🤩
“Plain American accent” damn shots at the other creators who more than likely made their video after the leak.
Rockstars have the BEST, most IN-DEPTH rundowns. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do!
I hope Emma D'arcy had all the negroni sbagliato with prosecco they wanted after that epically fantastic performance! (All the performances were just fantastic)
You Rock btw ❤ I live for your detailed, nerdy reviews! They make this nerd extra happy 🤓🥰
Always worth the wait. Keep it up!
The shade toward Lea Michelle LMAOO 😂
Daemon's song to Vermithor is an ancient Valyrian Dragon lullaby. Seeing the translation as he sings it shows it to b quite a beautiful song, too. It certainly plays on a dragon's vanity. Especially a noble Dragon such as Vermithor. One of my favorite scenes from the entire season. When they first brought this prequel to light, I thought there was no chance it could compare to it's parent series. Boy, was I wrong. So far, it's panning out to b it's equal. Can't wait for season 2. 👍💯💯💯✌
It was amazing hanging out with you on the series. Looking forward to season two.
Always worth the wait 😉
Aemonds so well cast and it's such a shock to see such a character difference from Ewans last role as Osferth in The Last Kingdom in which he absolutely nails the role!
Cast*
Baby monk>>
Thank you for what you do Lord Voss. Your content and attention to detail has no equal
Great recap! Thank you!
I've never read the books but as soon as Luke arrived at Storms End and you see Vaegar I immediately thought "that Giant is going to swallow Arrax whole" and I was sort of right except he only bit Arrax didn't eat him all the way.
Thank you for your great analysis. There was alot I missed. When is season 2 coming out?!?!
Can't thank you enough for breaking down this season!! I'd be lost without your keen observations!!
i think the struggling to control the dragons thing is more nuanced and less about humanizing the violent actions and more about showing that they arent gods. they dont have perfect control of this power, even though they may act like it. although, i do think some of them are better than others (rhaenyra and daemon particularly). could be that the more diluted targaryen blood yields imperfect results.
Love your videos! Thank you!
You guys got this video out quick this time 👏
Been waiting for this video all day!!!!!!!
When Daemon says there are other riders, I got a flash that he will try to bring Laenor back since he knows exactly where he would be.
Hope that happens 👌🏽
The riders will probably be "dragonseeds", bastard born Targareyns.
@@SouthernPrincipe Thanks, 👌🏽
The moment Luke landed & saw Vaghar, my heart dropped. If I was Luke, I might hv turned around. What courage to keep going. Oh my word I was so afraid for him. So afraid.
Yes! Nice Monday surprise
Always love love your explanation and break down.. 💯❤️
I love your videos. Thank you!
I usually watch emergancy energy reviews but your recape have been the best and helped me understand it all
That Lea Michele joke was perfect
The only sad thing is we might have to wait a very long time (as long as two years) before we can experience the next season 😮💨
I’m so sad that it ended like that but 100% needed to have the war. I love how arrax was completely obedient until his demise . Just wish he got away.
do we ever see the cannibal in fire and blood? because it would be really interesting to see him.
I hope so, it's way more scary than Vhagar.
Probably will next season
Love the subliminal shout outs between my favorite 2 break down channels
One thing to note as well is that Aemon is trying to control Vhagar using the common tongue and not Valyrian. I may be reading too much into it, but that could be a subtle yet telling insight into the Hightowers trying to erase the Targaryen lineage from the crown and hold all the power.
He did use High Valyrian too
@@joasbenjamin6804 To taunt Luc, but not to control his dragon.
22:04 is Daemon Jumping from Caraxes to Vhagar to stab Aemond in the Eye
No, that's artwork of Aemond killing Lucerys
@@Rome1017Lights Nope that's the artwork for Battle Above the God's Eye
When aemond was laughing while flying vheygar I had flashbacks to that red head kid from a Christmas story
🤣🤣🤣
Best, Best review….love your comments E.Voss🌼
This « softening » of the characters is great because it also puts into perspective the unreliable sources of those who wrote the dance of dragons in universe. To them the targaryens are god-like and most likely more evil, anyone would think of this that Aemond massacred his nephew willfully finding the remains of the boy and the small dragon and knowing Vhagar’s size, anyone could spread rumors of caved out eyes on the boy’s body, and a rumor that gets traction easily became a fact in times like this. Throughout our history, History was written by unreliable sources so it’s fun to see this added realism.
Yes but he also chased them with vhagar instead of going to the red keep
I agree, the point of Fire & Blood, is that the Westorosi maesters will take events and make bad guys and good guys, like they would do with Daenerys or Ned Stark not knowing the details we know.
It would not surprise me if GRRM told the writers it happened this way, a tragic accident because the dragons cannot be fully control, which is established even in the original novels, it honestly sounds like something he would write.
THANK YOU! I always look forward to the recaps! So happy this season was as good as it was and we are back with GoT Sundays! Until next time Westeros!
Great break down
When you read the title of the EP wondering whatever it could mean. Then the last scene appears. Epic AF. Just chills.
The best analysis!
Vermithor is known to be a very violent dragon and made anyone shit bricks near him. its why no one claimed him and Daemon was singing to both calm himself and Vermithor
The only in depth review I'm waiting for since Saturday
HotD S1 had a Strong ending…well, for one of them!
Poor baby Luke...he's always been my favorite 🗡🔥🗡😪🥺
Vhagar is the single coolest dragon I have ever seen on screen. I love attention to detail like the many chins and the fierce sounds that it makes.
It’s some(Heavy shade) at the end 😂😂
Not expecting the lea Michele slander but I am here for it
Thank you!
Been waiting on this one!
I swear you have the best recap vids
The rain in Jurassic Park really helped make the Tyrannosaurus reveal look better. The CGI was a bit glossy at that time to the point where the dinosaurs almost had a “wet“ appearance. First revealing the tyrannosaur in the rain just made it look better in general. It doesn’t look quite as good later in the film in full daylight. It still looks amazing but the rain helped conceal the glossy look of the CGI. There were a few shots of the raptors in the kitchen that also suffered from the glossy wet look particularly because they were close shots, but they were very quick shots backed up with amazing animatronics. I love how you always reference other great films, probably my favorite thing about your channel.
That wasn't CGI though. Most of the dinosaurs were CGI but the T-Rex and Triceratops where trained by an expert for the movie
@@truebastard1268 Can’t argue with that my friend.
Best analysis in YT!
Think about how good Rings Of Power would have been if HBO or the Producers and Writers of HOT D would have made it. This whole season was absolutely fantastic. Definitely got some goosebumps this final episode. Can’t wait for season 2!
I enjoyed your analysis the most, even if it was the one that came last.. 😜
Thank you..
Keep up the good work
thank you!
