When Robert defends Rhaenyra over supposedly bleeding as a sign of rejection, I like to think it's because he knew how uncomfortable it was and the fact he never wanted the throne meant he never gripped it tight, because to him the throne was never what he fought for, so he was never cut by it. But Aerys, who was mad, paranoid, and desperate to keep power, did grip it tight and wasn't careful, and thus cut himself often, and we know Robert did see Aerys as a child when he was already king scab.
@@Dominicn123 Robert never saw Aerys during the war. The last time he could’ve conceivably seen Aerys was during the Tourney at Harrenhal when he was 19.
@@senister14 Unlikely. As Joffrey for example wasn't cut by the throne. I'd say the myth came from some form of logic though. Those who get cut by the throne are those who grip it tightly, those who grip it tightly are those who would do anything to be on it, such as killing siblings and betraying people who trusted you, which are qualities of an unworthy king. Those who do not grip it tightly, but rather lightly, are those who did not really want to be on the throne, and yet reluctantly found themselves seated on it. That's usually one of the best qualities for a successor, as he doesn't value the throne more than his family or confidants.
@ozshaul5687 actually he was. The chair was formed by magic, so likely it has to have some magical properties. Viserys got cut and he didn't really want to be king either. It was onlybafter years on it that it finally accepted him.

@@aswinastro Sure it was no easy feat...But all you proved is that Daemon had massive experience on Aemond that allowed him to defeat Vhagar, Daemon experience is large, same for his dragon, had Aemond gotten 10 to 20 years of experience then he would have become invincible.
@@gakukilegrandgenerale2354 Highly doubt it. What is the basis of your belief? The novel only proved that Aemond is brave, but also very instinct-driven, best example of him accidentally killing Lucerys (as shown in the show) by not being able to control Vhagar. His only great feats were conquering Vhagar. On the other end, Daemon himself is no master Strategist, but he has shown immense street smartness in some instances, but is as faulty as Aemond. Atleast we have proof of Daemon's tactics, pray tell me what would have made Aemond smarter, wasn't he on a path to self-destruction?
@@aswinastro what is my basis that a 19 years old will gain more experience with age ? What a question 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Aemond and Daemon are clearly similar, Daemon is that good because of his experiencec saying Aemond might gain ecperience is nothing crazy. You just don’t like the fact that had Aemond lived longer he would have become a more capable person and surpassed his stupid dragon at least in a dragon fighy.
I agree but if they are trying to make it like 5 seasons long. They're really trying to stretch this story instead of just giving us a solid 3 seasons. Maybe they're also planning to show a little bit after everything and the things that happened in between such as the half a year Rhaeneyra or Ageon II ruled? Or even show us the The Hour of the Wolf during the early reign of Aegon III, that would be a pretty cool epilogue
The only way they can stretch HotD is Dragonseeds scenes Riverlands and the Winter Wolfs Battles in the Reach and maybe more scenes of Baratheons Thats It i would say 4 seasons are Great because of the march of the Winter
These were so good. Every season of GOT ended we were all sad (except seasons 7 and 8) only to be followed by these amazing history and lore videos to make us happy again. So sick the actors from the show agreed to do the voiceovers too.
@InfamousB7 cregan is a little bit overrated beside his fight with the dragonknight he didn't do anything amazing he was late for the war I know that wasn't his fault but it doesn't change the fact that he came when everything was done then he just killed two people got a blackwood beauty for a wife and went home
@@know846 you're forgetting that Viserys was alive too. And Aegon II had every intention to off Aegon the younger. He even wanted to castrate him or send him to the wall but his council strongly opposed that . Not to forget that his last order was to send him in pieces to the northern Army, courtesy of good Queen Alicent.
@@InfamousB9 I support Cregans initial plan, to ride to the castles of the treasonous lords (the rock, oldtown,stormlands) and burn it to the ground with those 3 families gone for good. But sadly it didn't work for him. What he did was punish those who had anything to do with AegonII death. If he really wanted to off the challenge to Aegon the younger, the likes of Tyland Lannister and Alicent Hightower would've been put to the sword. During Aegon's regency, his council was mostly green.
Michelle Fairley has the perfect voice for the Blood and Cheese story. Love her!! Also, I agree with the comments; the Dragonpit scene will be so heartbreaking. 💔🖤
Exactly! For years I avoided hearing or reading about the dance of dragons because I want to have the full experience from the show, but the damn thing is taking so long and it's unfolding in a slow manner that I couldn't handle anymore 😅 f that waiting two years for 8 episodes where nothing actually happened. I'll take this instead.
@@hamzasatwho knows, you might not be here in 2 years time. The same thing I experienced when I anxiously waiting for the upcoming season 8 of GoT. I was in an accident and the one thing I feared the most was missing out the game of throne's finale. Ooohh how I wish I hadn't seen it 😅
Nah not gonna lie season 1 was pretty good and better than the books or this. If the books could flesh out their story then maybe it would have been better.
It was a very clever move on the part of the Hightowers to crown Aegon quickly. Aegon went down in history as the legitimate king, and Rhaenyra as the suitor. Or, in the worst case, usurper. And it's always easier to blame everything on a rebel. The same thing happened to his great-grandson, Daemon Blackfyre, who was blamed for the Blackfyre rebellion
Given season 2 will only have 8 episodes I hope theres enough emotional narrative between the major battles and events like Blood and Cheese, Rook's Rest, The Dragon seeds claiming dragon's and The Battle of the Gullet. Not sure if they'll squeeze in the fall of Kings landing or switch it timeline wise with the Gullet, but im staying optimistic since they've done a good job so far.
My guess is they're going to change the timeline a bit, by ending the season with Rhaenyra taking King's Landing, and pushing the Battle of the Gullet to the start of S3. I feel like that would make sense - End S1 with a loss for Rhaenyra, and end S2 with a victory for her.
Honestly it's becoming increasingly clear that the dance was largely inevitable one Viserys remarried and refused to change his mind about his heir. Aegon himself said that he had roughly two decades to change his mind and did not. It is starting to seem that there is a limit to how many Targaryens can be active at the same time. Too few and the house is vulnerable to extinction, but too many and you get armed conflict. I will say it is easy to forget that no matter how much you might like a character, in this setting, bastardy is serious business and not so easily overlooked. It does suck that the children have to bear the burden of their parents indiscretions, but that is ASOIAF.
Even if Rhaenyra got to be qween you could have another successtion crisis with Jacearys later. With the green children and grandchildren all having dragons plus Daemons sons Aegon and Viserys. The Targaryan were always going to have a massive civil war with their dragons.
It's better than HBO series becouse they didn't change anything... All changes were just becouse of lack of information. We have accurate Aegon II banner (Balck field) and crown, Corlys not blackwashed becouse they "didn't want another bunch of white people on screen" , Aemond killing Lucerys willingly, Helaena crying for her child's death...
Won't happen, Dreamfyre had already laid those eggs before season 2 takes place . If anything they may show eggs being stolen from the dragon pit before it's destoryed .
I’m still amazed why Rhaenyra didn’t do anything when the mob ascended towards the dragon pit and kings landing. Knowing the mobs got worse days before. Letting the mob massacre chained dragons and more important, her own dragon. Horrible reign
@@nostoneunturned7641 adapting the scene as it was written would objectively make the scene better. they toned it down and removed the most memorable part, the part that had people comparing it to the red wedding, they removed the part where the mother had to choose which of her children would die before they taunted the child she picked and killed the other one. that was what made it so much more horrific than just having a child die. the show version is much weaker and less impactful. they even have the mother just get over it and stop caring like 2 episodes later.
@@arobin6695 Not bothered at all by that small detail, the scene portayed it very decent, also the mother is insane so why should she show normal behaviour according to you?
This video makes it seem like the war was over after Rhaenyra died. It wasn't. It's worth noting that Aegon was never anymore a king of Westeros than Rhaenyra was its Queen. From the moment Viserys died to the moment Rhaenyra's son was crowned King of Westeros, the country remained embroiled in civil war. The war went on after Rhaenyra died. The lords of the realm refused to accept Aegon as King. Even his own court came to realize this with his own hand of the King even advising him to take the black and join the Nights watch. Naturally, he refused and his entire court plotted against him as the armies of Westeros descended upon the capital to dethrone him.
Aegon II is acknowledged and remembered as the 6th legitimate official Monarch of Westeros even though his reign is by far the worst out of the 17 Targaryen Kings
@nicksmithnutmilk Aegon IV was responsible for the Blackfyre Rebellions which almost ended the Targaryen dynasty several times. Aerys II did what even Aegon IV could which was destroy the Targaryen's 300 rule over Westeros. Aegon II had a lot of flaws but he wasn't as nearly as the two kings I have mentioned.
The Blood and cheese here is much terrifying than the one we got in the show! I think for season 3 and 4, a lot of the stories and scenes in the show won't be as good as the story described here.
I think the writers made it less cruel in order to make the Black look less evil. Since Rhaenyra is treated like the main protagonist and they definitively want a protagonist to root for, instead of an anti-war tragedy about arrogant aristocrats who ruined their world and themselves out of fear and greed. As a matter of fact, reaction to Luke's and Jaehaerys' deaths are treated very differently to make the Black look better. The Black grieve in private as a united family. The Green exhibit their dead heir for propaganda while only the mother and grandmother are present at the procession. Aegon, Aemond and Otto can't seem to be bothered to attend and are busy tearing each other apart. We focus on the Black's grief more and Jaehaerys' murder is quickly forgotten. I find it shocking that a few minutes after witnessing the murder, Helena doesn't even call him by his name, just "the boy". It's as if the directors/writers were embarrassed by this murder and wanted to be quickly done with it, before the audience starts to realize that Rhaenyra's team isn't that nice.
@ lord, you people are so fucking insufferable lol. Grown adults whining about “wokeism” like it stole your damn lunch money as a kid and you can’t get over it. HOTD veered away from the books, cry a river about it. You’re too chronically online to realize that normal, functioning adults are capable of sitting and enjoying a television show without conspirisizing the entire time and getting angry at how “woke” it is. Grown adults will simply change the channel, ffs.
I doubt it. They made mention of it when Corliss returned to Dragonstone in the finale. Corliss said his ships were sailing for the step stones and Rhaenys said she would patrol the gullet herself.
The voice of game of thrones carecters we hearing is very satisfying,shirin baratheon at the beginning, viserys targaryen after her and king robbert baratheon as 3rd speakers
Fucked up blood and cheese, made daemon useless for half the show, and ended the show without her sitting on the throne. Im waiting for S3 clips and only clips.
This is going to be FREAKING EPIC to see in live action. I love that my husband doesn’t know what’s coming but I do; can’t wait to see his reaction muahahha 😈
Viserys does realize that he descends from rhaenyra, right? Because if "old king" did change succession in favor of aegon instead of rhaenyra, then rhaenyras line wouldn't inherit the crown and viserys wouldn't have inherited anything ever nor would the mad king or rhaegar
I always thought it was kinda ironic how a ton of Targaryen kings after the Dance are direct descendants of Rhaenyra & Daemon, given how hard the Greens tried denying their line.
It made sense to try something different but i was more annoyed by blood and cheese. That scene is supposed to horrify you and to show how much gravitas it would have in starting the war.
I can see it from both sides. I definitely didn't want the dragons to die. Technically they just had to kill their riders and set them free. But this show glosses over Aemond's crimes in the Riverlands for brevity. There was barely a town he didn't torch. He set the same keep on fire twice and one of those times all of the smallfolk from the surrounding villages were hiding behind it's walls. The smallfolk jumped at a chance to end future suffering 🤷 Very sad, but I reckon the thousands upon thousands of innocent nameless men, women and children being torched for being in the way of a dragon lord's tantrum is far more sad.
@@jessjess23brooks89 Its simular to when deanerys locked up her dragons. We as the viewers want the best for them but forget if we were on the receiving end, we'd ask for their death immidiently

@@aswinastro Sure it was no easy feat...But all you proved is that Daemon had massive experience on Aemond that allowed him to defeat Vhagar, Daemon experience is large, same for his dragon, had Aemond gotten 10 to 20 years of experience then he would have become invincible.
@@gakukilegrandgenerale2354 Highly doubt it. What is the basis of your belief? The novel only proved that Aemond is brave, but also very instinct-driven, best example of him accidentally killing Lucerys (as shown in the show) by not being able to control Vhagar. His only great feats were conquering Vhagar. On the other end, Daemon himself is no master Strategist, but he has shown immense street smartness in some instances, but is as faulty as Aemond. Atleast we have proof of Daemon's tactics, pray tell me what would have made Aemond smarter, wasn't he on a path to self-destruction?
@@aswinastro what is my basis that a 19 years old will gain more experience with age ? What a question 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aemond and Daemon are clearly similar, Daemon is that good because of his experiencec saying Aemond might gain ecperience is nothing crazy.
You just don’t like the fact that had Aemond lived longer he would have become a more capable person and surpassed his stupid dragon at least in a dragon fighy.
House of the Dragon
Season 1 - 0:00 - 5:47
Season 2 - 5:48 - 12:36
Season 3 - 12:37 - 20:25
It will be slow as there will be more than 3 seasons
There wont be. It will be 3 seasons max there isnt enough content.
I agree but if they are trying to make it like 5 seasons long. They're really trying to stretch this story instead of just giving us a solid 3 seasons.
Maybe they're also planning to show a little bit after everything and the things that happened in between such as the half a year Rhaeneyra or Ageon II ruled? Or even show us the The Hour of the Wolf during the early reign of Aegon III, that would be a pretty cool epilogue
The only way they can stretch HotD is
Dragonseeds scenes
Riverlands and the Winter Wolfs
Battles in the Reach and maybe more scenes of Baratheons
Thats It i would say 4 seasons are Great because of the march of the Winter
Jaces death isn’t even happening until season 3 so we’re getting 4 seasons minimum.
These were so good. Every season of GOT ended we were all sad (except seasons 7 and 8) only to be followed by these amazing history and lore videos to make us happy again. So sick the actors from the show agreed to do the voiceovers too.
Yea i was really hoping we'd get some new ones in between seasons of HOTD as well. There's still so much history & lore they could cover.
Back from the finale, it sucked so bad that I don't care about being spoiled, gonna check this all out.
Me too man 😭
Same. I'm tired of having the events drawn out as slowly as possible!
I reached that point today lmao. I'll still watch but I'm cool with knowing the outcome.
Yup, I'm not waiting another 2 years to know 😂
lol they're setting it up for the next season... in 50 years 😂
The war didn't end when Rhaenyra died . It ended when her son Aegon ascended the throne .
Cregan badass Stark killed everyone who could chalenge his reign
@InfamousB7 cregan is a little bit overrated beside his fight with the dragonknight he didn't do anything amazing he was late for the war I know that wasn't his fault but it doesn't change the fact that he came when everything was done then he just killed two people got a blackwood beauty for a wife and went home
It did her son was alive only because ageon let him live
@@know846 you're forgetting that Viserys was alive too. And Aegon II had every intention to off Aegon the younger. He even wanted to castrate him or send him to the wall but his council strongly opposed that . Not to forget that his last order was to send him in pieces to the northern Army, courtesy of good Queen Alicent.
@@InfamousB9 I support Cregans initial plan, to ride to the castles of the treasonous lords (the rock, oldtown,stormlands) and burn it to the ground with those 3 families gone for good. But sadly it didn't work for him.
What he did was punish those who had anything to do with AegonII death. If he really wanted to off the challenge to Aegon the younger, the likes of Tyland Lannister and Alicent Hightower would've been put to the sword. During Aegon's regency, his council was mostly green.
Michelle Fairley has the perfect voice for the Blood and Cheese story. Love her!! Also, I agree with the comments; the Dragonpit scene will be so heartbreaking. 💔🖤
🛡⚔🛡This story, told this way, never gets old😎
Same here lol I've watched it tons of times & it just doesn't get old
I cannot wait to see this play out on screen. So far its been incredible
I love how it's Shireen reads the epilogue. She was the one to mention and to have read the Dance in the series.
When you realise season 2 begins with blood and cheese
It's gonna be wild!
Good title for an episode: blood and cheese
@@StoicSurvivor99that could actually be the name of the first episode lol
A son for a son is the title of S2 Ep1 i believe.
I’m glad I know what is coming. I did not when the red Wedding happened. Still not over that one
This was actually the reason I waited two years for hotd season 2
God I hate HBO these days
Here after S02E08 I’m not waiting another 2 years 😂
Yeah same, can't be bothered to wait after that last season
Exactly! For years I avoided hearing or reading about the dance of dragons because I want to have the full experience from the show, but the damn thing is taking so long and it's unfolding in a slow manner that I couldn't handle anymore 😅 f that waiting two years for 8 episodes where nothing actually happened. I'll take this instead.
@@hamzasatwho knows, you might not be here in 2 years time.
The same thing I experienced when I anxiously waiting for the upcoming season 8 of GoT. I was in an accident and the one thing I feared the most was missing out the game of throne's finale.
Ooohh how I wish I hadn't seen it 😅
Daemon was more snake than dragon - Robert Baratheon
when did he say tht
11:20
"Probably gripped the damn thing too hard"
I love that they use the voices of the actors from Game of Thrones
This is a better telling of the story than HBO has given us.
This is better than HOD season 1 and 2
Far better.
Nah not gonna lie season 1 was pretty good and better than the books or this. If the books could flesh out their story then maybe it would have been better.
Y’all are miserable can’t enjoy anything😂
It was a very clever move on the part of the Hightowers to crown Aegon quickly. Aegon went down in history as the legitimate king, and Rhaenyra as the suitor. Or, in the worst case, usurper. And it's always easier to blame everything on a rebel. The same thing happened to his great-grandson, Daemon Blackfyre, who was blamed for the Blackfyre rebellion
I liked how this is presented and voice over
“My uncle is a challenge I welcome, if he dares face me.”
Her uncle and husband 😂😂😂😂😂😂 will always sound crazy
Yea I'll never get used to that either lol
This bring me more the emotion of the dance than hotd hbo show, i can feel the feeling of reading fire and blood
The craziest part of this entire story is in the simplicity that if man just wasn’t greedy, all would exist in harmony lol.
I mean we greedy cause we prideful and that’s a hard one to over come
Given season 2 will only have 8 episodes I hope theres enough emotional narrative between the major battles and events like Blood and Cheese, Rook's Rest, The Dragon seeds claiming dragon's and The Battle of the Gullet. Not sure if they'll squeeze in the fall of Kings landing or switch it timeline wise with the Gullet, but im staying optimistic since they've done a good job so far.
its still the same runtime as season 1 so proabably just longer episodes
WHAT!! OMG NOOOO I HAD IT ALL PLANNED OUT ON HOW IT WAS GOING TO GO TOO!
Nooooo.... Dammit. We know what happens when HBO cuts down episodes. It sacrifices storytelling for extravegent scenes.
My guess is they're going to change the timeline a bit, by ending the season with Rhaenyra taking King's Landing, and pushing the Battle of the Gullet to the start of S3. I feel like that would make sense - End S1 with a loss for Rhaenyra, and end S2 with a victory for her.
gullet is not in season 2 got moved to 3 thats why they cut down to 8 episodes
Harry Llyod reading the story is poetic justice and perfection
"... Borros Baratheon, black of hair." - told no one to the artist.
Nor lucerys bastard hair
Told no one to the artist? Grammar needs some work.
Who is here after season 2 premiere of House of the Dragon?
Here *again* 😋
I had to after the disappointment in the blood and cheese dilemma
Me too
Yep
I'm here.
I LOVE THE VOICES TELLING THIS STORY........HALF THE CAST OF GAME OF THRONES
They did blood an cheese dirty
Is king Robert helping to narrate?!? I’m obsessed!
I was thinking this as well 🤣 sounds like Mark Addy.
@@gordoncarson5557it is. This is Game of Thrones history and lore. They did a whole library of these when the first series aired.
This clip is far much better than whole HOTD season 1.
19:00 "And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you."
This version is Way better than House of the Dragon show
Yes the voices are the game of thrones actors. Awesome. Team black forever 🖤❤️🖤🐉🌹
Damn that dragon out scene and the fight with Daemon and Aemond is gonna be insane!!🔥🔥
Vhagar 5 times the size of Arrax ? More like 500 times the size
I think they simplifying it too. I had to go back because I expected 500 times not 5 times.
In weight , yeah she's like 100 times bigger . But in lenght it's around 5 times
Deffo 5 times 500 times would be like the size of the moon
Yeah....... definitely not 500 times bigger lol That'd make it bigger than half of the sky
Honestly it's becoming increasingly clear that the dance was largely inevitable one Viserys remarried and refused to change his mind about his heir. Aegon himself said that he had roughly two decades to change his mind and did not. It is starting to seem that there is a limit to how many Targaryens can be active at the same time. Too few and the house is vulnerable to extinction, but too many and you get armed conflict.
I will say it is easy to forget that no matter how much you might like a character, in this setting, bastardy is serious business and not so easily overlooked. It does suck that the children have to bear the burden of their parents indiscretions, but that is ASOIAF.
Even if Rhaenyra got to be qween you could have another successtion crisis with Jacearys later. With the green children and grandchildren all having dragons plus Daemons sons Aegon and Viserys. The Targaryan were always going to have a massive civil war with their dragons.
No other house needs better family planning than House Targaryen.
It’s incredible how well made this is and how similar it is in retrospect to the hbo series
It's better than HBO series becouse they didn't change anything... All changes were just becouse of lack of information.
We have accurate Aegon II banner (Balck field) and crown, Corlys not blackwashed becouse they "didn't want another bunch of white people on screen" , Aemond killing Lucerys willingly, Helaena crying for her child's death...
It's because this was made by HBO and the show runners, to complement the GoT seasons discs.
Dreamfyre is the mother of Daenerys' dragons. Hopefully I show her laying her eggs and Helaena makes some prediction about them.
Won't happen, Dreamfyre had already laid those eggs before season 2 takes place . If anything they may show eggs being stolen from the dragon pit before it's destoryed .
Those eggs have been in Essos for decades by the time of the Dance.
They've shown the eggs after all
This actually confirmed now!
Helena and Aemond look exactly like this in show. Casting is good.
haelana need to put more size to her
Casting is descent. Good is different.
GRRM says that what happens in the show is what happens. The books are mere retellings of the maesters- therefore not entirely accurate
@@BostonsF1nest It's his choice but why give up authority to some corporate producers at some nameless company, over his own world. Eugh.
@@BostonsF1nest Yeah no lol The books came first. The shows are based on them. Grow up kid
Aegon is having his Anakin - Darth vader moment on dragonstone
I’m still amazed why Rhaenyra didn’t do anything when the mob ascended towards the dragon pit and kings landing. Knowing the mobs got worse days before. Letting the mob massacre chained dragons and more important, her own dragon. Horrible reign
Rhaenyra "what would you have me do?" Targaryen? Not so surprising tbh. She'd probably still be harping on about how she wanted peace 😂
@@prettytopiashortsyeah joffrey was right. Also she should have an army.
I need hod season 2 now!!!
I feel ya, It can't come soon enough!!!
Best narrative ever 😀just so you know
So far, the show managed to execute most of this story quite well
except blood and cheese
@@arobin6695 oh Jesus Christ it was FINE. additional threats made to the children wouldn't have made the scene any better
@@nostoneunturned7641 adapting the scene as it was written would objectively make the scene better. they toned it down and removed the most memorable part, the part that had people comparing it to the red wedding, they removed the part where the mother had to choose which of her children would die before they taunted the child she picked and killed the other one. that was what made it so much more horrific than just having a child die. the show version is much weaker and less impactful. they even have the mother just get over it and stop caring like 2 episodes later.
@@arobin6695 Not bothered at all by that small detail, the scene portayed it very decent, also the mother is insane so why should she show normal behaviour according to you?
@@belgamsafn it’s not a small detail. It’s the most horrific memorable part of the scene and the show removed it for no reason.
This video makes it seem like the war was over after Rhaenyra died. It wasn't. It's worth noting that Aegon was never anymore a king of Westeros than Rhaenyra was its Queen. From the moment Viserys died to the moment Rhaenyra's son was crowned King of Westeros, the country remained embroiled in civil war. The war went on after Rhaenyra died. The lords of the realm refused to accept Aegon as King. Even his own court came to realize this with his own hand of the King even advising him to take the black and join the Nights watch. Naturally, he refused and his entire court plotted against him as the armies of Westeros descended upon the capital to dethrone him.
Aegon II is acknowledged and remembered as the 6th legitimate official Monarch of Westeros even though his reign is by far the worst out of the 17 Targaryen Kings
Nope. He declared her his heir. She's the queen and her son was the king. Extremely cut and dry. End of story
@@nostoneunturned7641
This kind of reductionism is typical for this fanbase nowadays.
@nicksmithnutmilk Aegon IV was responsible for the Blackfyre Rebellions which almost ended the Targaryen dynasty several times. Aerys II did what even Aegon IV could which was destroy the Targaryen's 300 rule over Westeros. Aegon II had a lot of flaws but he wasn't as nearly as the two kings I have mentioned.
@@nostoneunturned7641 . Maegor I is a recognized king and he usurped the throne.
Who's here with me, after Season 2 Episode 4??????
The Blood and cheese here is much terrifying than the one we got in the show! I think for season 3 and 4, a lot of the stories and scenes in the show won't be as good as the story described here.
And this was adapted by D&D I think .
I think the writers made it less cruel in order to make the Black look less evil. Since Rhaenyra is treated like the main protagonist and they definitively want a protagonist to root for, instead of an anti-war tragedy about arrogant aristocrats who ruined their world and themselves out of fear and greed. As a matter of fact, reaction to Luke's and Jaehaerys' deaths are treated very differently to make the Black look better. The Black grieve in private as a united family. The Green exhibit their dead heir for propaganda while only the mother and grandmother are present at the procession. Aegon, Aemond and Otto can't seem to be bothered to attend and are busy tearing each other apart. We focus on the Black's grief more and Jaehaerys' murder is quickly forgotten. I find it shocking that a few minutes after witnessing the murder, Helena doesn't even call him by his name, just "the boy". It's as if the directors/writers were embarrassed by this murder and wanted to be quickly done with it, before the audience starts to realize that Rhaenyra's team isn't that nice.
They didn't to make Rhaneyra look bad. The show is beyond woke
I love these vids soooooo much. ❤
8:50
If this fight is pulled off properly, this might be the best fight in the entire ASOIAF series.
so,how was it?
@@LukaCampara loved it! They nailed it!
Nope, maester propaganda. The war was actually about two repressed lesbians and the misunderstandings made by the warmongering evil men around them.
Nonsense
REAL
If the show continues down this woke path, The backlash will get a lot worse than what came for season eight Game of Thrones.
@ lord, you people are so fucking insufferable lol. Grown adults whining about “wokeism” like it stole your damn lunch money as a kid and you can’t get over it. HOTD veered away from the books, cry a river about it. You’re too chronically online to realize that normal, functioning adults are capable of sitting and enjoying a television show without conspirisizing the entire time and getting angry at how “woke” it is. Grown adults will simply change the channel, ffs.
@@michaelyohanes2782Sarcasm.
Really hope the show doesn’t skip over the battle of the gullet like this did
I doubt it. They made mention of it when Corliss returned to Dragonstone in the finale. Corliss said his ships were sailing for the step stones and Rhaenys said she would patrol the gullet herself.
@@BostonsF1nest I mean I would hope not since after rooks rest it’s my favorite battle.
its in season 3
Great video
Daemon’s words to Aemond were so cold
Can t wait to see peoples reaction to rooks rest, gullet, god s eye, sunfyre eating rhenyra, tumbleton 2
As of 7/7/24, we’re at 9:38
The voice of game of thrones carecters we hearing is very satisfying,shirin baratheon at the beginning, viserys targaryen after her and king robbert baratheon as 3rd speakers
Fucked up blood and cheese, made daemon useless for half the show, and ended the show without her sitting on the throne. Im waiting for S3 clips and only clips.
Folks These are words of martin himself . Thats why it feels so wonderful.
wait was that Mark Addy narrating ?
This is going to be FREAKING EPIC to see in live action. I love that my husband doesn’t know what’s coming but I do; can’t wait to see his reaction muahahha 😈
Yea it's going to be wild, definitely some big "holy shyt" moments coming in s2. Can't wait!
I really really love the narration
Viserys does realize that he descends from rhaenyra, right? Because if "old king" did change succession in favor of aegon instead of rhaenyra, then rhaenyras line wouldn't inherit the crown and viserys wouldn't have inherited anything ever nor would the mad king or rhaegar
I always thought it was kinda ironic how a ton of Targaryen kings after the Dance are direct descendants of Rhaenyra & Daemon, given how hard the Greens tried denying their line.
Visarys isn't known for being smart
No one can accuse Visarys, the one speaking. Of intelligence
Viserys is famous for being stupid
doubtful. in there was peace rhaenyra's and aegon's line would intermarry and merge into one line. house of the incest duh
Criston Cole should've killed Beesbury the same way in the show the way he did in the book. I hated that change. But it wasn't the only change I hated
It made sense to try something different but i was more annoyed by blood and cheese. That scene is supposed to horrify you and to show how much gravitas it would have in starting the war.
Haven't seen this video in a while. Thanks. Am sure season 2 will begin with an adaptation of Blood and Cheese.
They screwed it up so so badly
The night the dragons died was the saddest thing among all of this. I hated the Shepherd with all my being.
Same!
Same. Blaming the dragons directly, idiocy.
I can see it from both sides. I definitely didn't want the dragons to die. Technically they just had to kill their riders and set them free.
But this show glosses over Aemond's crimes in the Riverlands for brevity. There was barely a town he didn't torch. He set the same keep on fire twice and one of those times all of the smallfolk from the surrounding villages were hiding behind it's walls.
The smallfolk jumped at a chance to end future suffering 🤷 Very sad, but I reckon the thousands upon thousands of innocent nameless men, women and children being torched for being in the way of a dragon lord's tantrum is far more sad.
@@jessjess23brooks89 Its simular to when deanerys locked up her dragons. We as the viewers want the best for them but forget if we were on the receiving end, we'd ask for their death immidiently
Westeros is better off without overgrown, fire-breathing lizards. Based Shepherd.
Oh yeah I can’t not wait!!
Yeah there ain't no way HBO is doing all of this, after the season 02 finale.
Sorry, but Joffrey's moment with Aegon is just incredible. Wow.
