What to say? So much! Here and there, we catch glimpses of the prince who lost his eye, and at other times, his alter ego-the Prince Regent from GRR Martin's books. It's as if the portrait of Season 2 reveals more of his armor and less of his heart, and that's precisely what Aemond wants to show the world! The first video (ua-cam.com/video/GskdNJr_i0c/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NostStudio) was innocent, portraying his childhood, his wounds, and the early traces of his future psychology. The second video illustrates the consequences of the first. From wonder, Aemond transitions to violence, with Vhagar as the most brutal extension of his being. The music builds in a crescendo, as if his accumulated memories are about to scream. His traumas fuel "the storm." He despises Aegon, harbors resentment toward his mother to some degree, and even feels ridiculous for his moments of weakness (“People will pity you,” from Larys Strong paired with the shot of Alicent Hightower). At this stage, he no longer needs pity because he has fully forged his armor-no one can reach him anymore. Regarding the choice of music (which I want), the vocals and choirs symbolize his swirling thoughts. “Words are wind”-here, words aren’t used by him; instead, there are screams from the music. Visually, the juxtaposition of Daemon’s shots with his owns are well-constructed at the beginning! (Of course, until we get to “Wish version” Aemond.) Initially, Aemond is a faceless character, as if the idea of who he is starts as a shadow or a concept. The audio of his voice layered over these scenes foreshadows the depth of his character and psychology. Then, everything unfolds: his face is revealed alongside his insecurities, his past, and his wounds, and we realize there’s not an ounce of happiness in what he shares. By the end of the first part, he’s essentially “drowning” under the weight of his past. What I call the second part is his “Rebirth through pain.” Aemond today is a boy born in pain (much like every human being, though he remembers his “birth” vividly). He has forged his armor so perfectly that no one can reach him. Alicent can no longer "touch" him. Aegon’s mockery has entirely sealed Aemond off. He distances himself from them because he is “alone in the world.” As Maester Aemon says, “A Targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing.” Third part: he is "Unleashed." Everything happens very quickly from here-Aemond seeks revenge and does so methodically. He accumulates acts of violence (3 dragon kills ! Worse than Maegor the Cruel), battles, and his rage is channeled through Vhagar. The final shot now: we return to the heart beneath the armor, reminding us that Aemond is ultimately human, not a monster. When you push someone to their limit, you must always expect a reaction. Lastly, a nod to young Aemond (Leo) with the conclusion of him gaining Vhagar and an unresolved question (not in the video but one I’d like to add later): *“Was it worth the price?”* from Helaena.
@@elodie95 You nailed it. How do you read me so well? I love how you picked on the music. The only thing I will disagree with is your last sentence/question: The price is not a question. His path was not a choice, because of the name he bears and what it represents. He does not have “the luxury of a peasant” to choose to be good or bad. Only to survive… or to die trying.
