    “HOTD fans react to GoT” is definitely the first video of its kind, and probably the first of many as HOTD progresses over the years and a new generation of younger fans watch that show first. This first episode is definitely a lot to take in. But don’t worry, the overload of info will settle down after the first few episodes. What they do really well here is instead of letting you know everything all at once, they slowly give you the backstories & lores (like what happened during Robert’s Rebellion for example) through conversations between characters, and it’s up to you to piece them together. All of these characters have crazy entangled pasts which you will get familiar with.And you will remember each and every one of these characters like you’ve never remembered characters, best believe that.

    I loved the perspective of thinking Robert is a Targaryen to realizing that the Targaryen have lost the throne. Must be a jolt coming from HotD. Also loved the opening credits music being referred to as the same as HotD because for most Westeros fans, its so iconically the GoT theme. You will LOVE the journey the soundtracks take you on (as well as everything else with the show).

      @@kvm6 We haven't reached that bridge yet. We will discuss it with them once they get further into season 1 I think.
      I provided them with the official known world map from the Lands of Ice and Fire "book", and I gave thenlm a spoiler free very brief explanation of Valyria/Aegons conquest for HotD before they got going with that but aside from that they are completely blind on everything they haven't learned from the shows itself. I know one of those lore and history videos has HotD spoilers but the others are fine, just depends on if they feel like it, there's enough demand, and it fits into their schedule.

      @@suddenimpulse030 I've seen most people react to hour long ones, but if you've seen them, you may know that it's lots of short videos stitched together. So, they could react to the short ones, or just watch them in their own free time, if they just to get an understanding of the world.
      Though, giving them a map is a great idea.
      Btw, does "Book Spoilers" also include the scenes that are in the show, like if I were to write something from Bran I (Ned saying all titles, but skipping Rhyonar, but this being corrected in HoT D), would my comment be deleted?

      @suddenimpulse030 2 роки тому +3

      @@kvm6 We try to go case by case, and try to be reasonable about things, but we also don't want to be unfair to people and have things be inconsistent. Book spoilers we are generally prohibiting at this time for two reasons:
      1. We don't know if Spartan & Pudgey, or others in the community that read the comments plan to read the books at some point.
      2. It's another layer of spoilers we have to worry about, and with any kind of spoilers, some people are much better about knowing where the line is than others on what should and shouldn't be said.
      HOWEVER, generally, if it is something small and largely inconsequential to their reactions and experience, and just lore flavor stuff, like the Rhoynar titles and explaining that to them, I am not going to touch it. So no, I wouldn't delete that comment. The main stuff I am looking out for is hints or outright spoilers on future characters or events, character arcs, or facts they shouldn't know about yet that have import later. Things that will affect their enjoyment, blind reaction, and experience.
      Wilson and I are super ASOIAF nerds, so we know a lot of details about this world and we understand how complex and deep it is, and how fun it is to discuss these things. So we also have a policy that, if you guys want to mention something to Spartan & Pudgey, but are worried it will be too spoilery, you are free to private message us on the community Discord, we have the same names on there, or ask here in the comments, if it can be asked carefully. Generally Discord is better, because sometimes we will accidentally miss a tag or comment. Feel free to ask any more questions you have. We appreciate you asking and not just gunning for it.

    • @suddenimpulse030
      @suddenimpulse030 2 роки тому +5

      @@kvm6 Also, as far as doing some of this side content as reactions, part of what plays into that is the fact they both work full time and try to do at least 2 shows at a time. They are small time still, so they edit all these videos themselves, which can take a lot of time. So they have to take into account how this stuff figures into their schedules and free time, and if the payoff is there in terms of viewcounts and such compared to some other content. So even if they want to do something, they have to weight the pros and cons.

    Just a quick fun fact: King Robert actually DOES have Targaryen blood, in 2 types of ways:
    1. His house (Baratheon) was founded by a rumored Targaryen bastard (though it's possible that rumor was false)
    2. The definitive way, ie Targaryens married into House Baratheon several times.
    It's one of the ways (in addition to right by "might"/ conquest) they justified Robert taking the throne when the rebellion he led was won.
    So, you weren't totally off in thinking Targaryen blood would still play a part.

    Game Of Thrones is a lot more dense than HotD. The most important characters and storylines in HotD all take place in and around people who live in king's landing or just a few other places while GoT focuses on about twice the amount of characters right out of the gate that live all over Westeros, including Essos where Daenerys is.

  • @SlCKNESS_

    This is one of the best shows ever made. Without overanalyzing it I think some other reactors, no one in particular, don't quite have the personality to appreciate it (on camera), but I think you guys will love every second of it.

  • @jarsky
    @jarsky 2 роки тому +27

    Oh damn theyre getting into GoT!
    Tyrion Lannister & The Hound are my favorite characters 😊
    Just to touch on a few things that happen in this episode:
    Daenerys & Viserys Targaryen are the 2 blonde ones you saw, theyre the children of Aerys II Targaryen.
    Robert Baratheon isn't a Targaryen but you'll find out more about him being king through this season. His betrothed was Lyanna Stark (Ned Starks sister), which is what that scene in the crypt was about, but as you saw she died. Hes now married to Cersei Lannister who is Queen Regent.
    If you watch back HotD, there was Jason Lannister in a few episodes (who gave the spear to the King for Aegon II's name day) and there was a Stark sitting on the council as well.
    The Lannisters are a big and noble house. The Starks are also a promenent house as theyre one of the First Men of Westeros (first families to sail to and settle Westeros), they hold Winterfell (which is the north) and they guard The Wall (which protects the northen realm).
    Theres a lot to unpack, but they will touch multiple times on these subjects so you'll get to understand the houses and locations.
    I would recommend doing a google on "Westeros Map", which will give you a good idea of the layout of the land to help understand where these things are taking place 😊

    IMO, the Strong Advice to you:
    1) It's smart for you to have a Moderator to get rid of spoilers
    2) Pay close attention to the comments and dialogue that might seem trivial to you- they will be very important to understanding the bigger picture
    3) Consider posting more than 1 video at at a time
    4) Get/Look at a map of the GOT universe- it will help orient you
    5) Suggest taking notes of the members of the different families- there are so many characters that you will get confused
    6) DON'T GET ATTACHED TO ANY CHARACTER

  • @malcolmferguson4869
    @malcolmferguson4869 2 роки тому +133

    Just a warning - There is one line in this show that completely spoils the fate of one of the characters in HotD. It's in Season 3, Episode 4. The scene starts with a shot looking up at some characters through a grate in the floor, and the very first line in the scene is the HotD spoiler. The scene before it ends with the line "Prodigies in odd places, indeed." So, after you hear that line, and the scene changes, cover your ears until the shot changes.

    • @cascade1788

      Call me pedantic, but if a series is intended as a sequel (or prequel) following the success of another series, then that first series can't really have spoilers for the second one since they were intended to watch in that order.
      Knowing the fate of certain HotD characters before hand shouldn't ruin any plot, since the entire of House of the Dragon was built as a successor to Game of Thrones and will generally assume you've seen it.
