Hopefully the slow attention span people will stop complaining bout there being no big battles/dragon battles. R.I.P. to the Queen that should’ve been 💯
Indeed, I hate when I see comments saying how GoT was much better than HOTD, saying it's too slow..GoT's best moments were just two people talking in a room. The grand battles and all that specticle came later when the show started to decline.. We are joking about wanting to see war etc, we enjoyed the show during its slow parts just as much as this. I still think episode 8 of season1 and 2 of season 2 are my favorites overall.
@@CouchPatrollamazing comment
Nah the issue is some scenes wasted time and episode 3 was pure filler for an 8 episode season. I mean, Rhaenyra meeting Alicent was edited together like a starwars transition. Like she was visiting jabba the hut. It didnt even make sense and the way it was shot felt like just a normal tv show. The pacing had been off too. Like every episode was slow walking in silence with dramatic music. They took the worst episode of season 1 which was episode 9. and just made that the first half of this season. Us fans hold this to a higher standard. It had me very worried. Thankfully, this episode was excellent. Breaking things down to the most basic primitive point so you can understand it says more about you. Believe it or not, some complaints are valid.
@@superkoopatrooper4879 I can agree episode 3 wasn't good, but 1 and especially episode 2 were very very good with very good writing and character interactions.
@@CouchPatrollI agree. Episode 2 is still the best of this season so far.
about jace and baela, they are not acting like grown up. they were very important on the history and jace helped alot in his mother's claim
@@fernandacaldasn oh we were talking about the old Lords, Jack and Baela are cool!
And Baela was one of the few who survived the war .
And Baela was one of the few who survived the war .
no sunfire and agone will kill her and Moondanser
Rhaenys had to stay. If she had fled, Rhaenyra's allies would have all turned their backs on her afterwards. Rhaenys and Meleys were the only chance for the small castle. They were not allowed to flee.
But Meleys did a lot of damage. Cole's army was decimated and demoralized. Vhagar suffered serious injuries. And the allies now know that the Blacks are coming to help, risking their own lives in the process. It's damn important what Rhaenys has done here.
She had to turn back and fight Vhagar, no house would stand with the black if you runaway from defending the castle
I think the showrunners wanted us to say to ourselves..."run, get out of there", yet other things, such as the one you pointed out..where it was a matter of dignity and honour and just purely politican stance..held her in the fight.. Thanks for joining the conversation!
Rhaenys and Meleys could still win with Vhagar - Meleys might be smaller, but she was not THAT small, because of her size she was more agile and she was experienced. Killing Vhagar would take down the biggest threat from Greens, that is why Rhaenys risked (and she might also think she would avenge Luke). She realistically could - there will not one, but TWO instances during this war where smaller agile dragon will be able to mortally wound much bigger and experienced dragon (who wants to know which ones, can ask me😉).
It scene is somewhat change from the book - in the book Vhagar clashed into fighting Meleys and Sunfyre and all three fell to ground. After dust settled, Vhagar was able to fly again, but Meleys was dead and Sunfyre was critically injured. Book narrator even says that Meleys COULD beat Vhagar but she was unable to fight two dragons at once. So, while both in book and in show Sunfyre's tragic fate was rasult of Vhagar's actions, Meleys and Rhaenys's deaths happened because of ambush rather than one-on-one fight Meleys and Vhagar had in show.
Copium lol
I agree, and also know about one of the two fights you are referring to! She could have won, but I liked that they gave her a proper fight in the show, she scratched vhagar quite well and gave her a run for her money so to speak..I think that Vhagar using the same move twice (coming from bellow) will play a part in her downfall at the end! Coz that dragon she will face is...different :)
The book said that against Vhagar alone, Meleys “may have stood a chance”.
@@TheLongView-i4y "May" and "could' are synonims.
@@closjay8323 What???????
The book non readers having so much fun watching the show and get amazed by the endings of every episode and guessing the plot hahaha
Oof, you should have seen us watch episode 9 of season 1, we didn't film it, but disliked it to high heavens, very bad writing there. So I wouldn't describe us as being amazed all the time. :D But we did opt out of reading additional stories from this world, until we get winds of winter at least. I read all the song of ice and fire books. :)
Rip Meleys the strongest dragon.
Not the strongest dragon..
@@aldendiaz1165 considering she almost killed sunfyr and would have killed him and threw vhagar to the ground puts her as the strongest during the dance.
@@erickulakovich7303 It's only because Rhaenys has battle experience, that doesn't make Meleys strongest.....Plus sunfyr hardly damaged Meleys because his rider was a drunk bozo..
The fastest dragon not the stronger
High Valyrian, the language that Aemond speaks to Aegon at Council, is House Targaryen's ancestral language and Targaryen children are all taught to speak it to family members as well as to their dragons. Aegon obviously didn't pay attention during those lessons, or has no aptitude for languages other than 'Common Tongue'.
I think the reason for that is that he was raised more by his mother and not his father, he was influenced by the hightowers more than the Targaryen side..and hence why he is so distant..while Aemond is different and looked for this knowledge on his own.
The only dragons who could pose a threat to Vhagar and even defeat her, that lived in this time (apart from Cannibal not seen yet) are Vermithor "the bronze fury" (remember last Season Daemon singing to him in a cave) and Daemon's own dragon Caraxes "the blood wyrm" which although smaller than Vhagar but one of the most agile, strong and fierce that ever lived! Meleys "the red queen" was a worthy opponent though, very powerful and battle hardened but Vhagar was much bigger, RIP.
Maelys was a really excellent fighter
Never even used fire and took down Vhaegar literally - just not permanently. She almost had a chance
The reason why the Tullys emblem is the fish because the fish can swim up every river and creek in the world. Meaning nearly every main houses in Westero has Tully blood in them
Hey, thanks for pointing this out! It does make sense, all the main chracters from the Starks were also half Tully, they are without a doubt an important house, it's a shame we never see proper leaders from them in both shows though (so far at least, not counting the blackfish)
The large Dragon is a Her. Vaghar is a female Dragon. Same with Meleys.
Aye, I was too distracted to correct the others on it, granny is awesome!
Meleys could have killed Vhagar, in the show they have things go down differently but in the books Meleys was fighting both dragons at the same time. Her experience and speed is the reason why she got the best of both dragons, but at the end 2 dragons were just too much. Sending them all crashing down with only Vhagar flying away. Show took it a different route but the same result. What I’m curious is when it comes time for Caraxes to take on Vhagar, I hope they really display the unique abilities Caraxes has and why he kills Vhagar
Stop spoiling shit dumbass.
Yeah if it weren't for Vhagar's surprise attack I think Meleys could genuinely kill or at least severely injure Vhagar.
You notice how Vhagar used the same move to kill in both battles she is in? Coming for a surprise attack from bellow? I think she will try that again with Craxes and it wont work out the way she intended..and it will go bad for her from there..but we will see! And yeah Maleys was awesome, I liked that they had a longer battle though!
Jace and Baela are grown. They did a lot.
Indeed, we were referring to the old men in the room!
I don't know who is the guy with the black t-shirt but I loved his reaction 😂❤
He read this today and was really happy! :D You helped brighten his day, and all of ours really, thank you for the support!
Meleys was (before Rhaenys) Daemon and Viserys mother's dragon and Daemon's dragon Caraxes was Rhaenys mother dragon
Nice little detail, thanks for sharing!
House Tully's banner is a Fish I think because house Tully is Lord Paramount of The River Lands and there is a lot of fishing done in rivers so it represents the land they live on
Im surprised no one caught onto Corlys twos sons!
@@QueenK88 I did actually,but they are bastards right?
@@CouchPatrollyupp!!
Great reaction. Such an incredible episode. RIP to the Queen Who Never Was and the Red Queen.
Thank you! I see you also enjoyed one of our tribute videos for Fallout! I'm happy to see that! You can expect something similar for hotd as well!
RIP The Queen that should have been!
P.S. Vhagar is also a female dragon.
RIP! And yeah, I was too distracted with the action to correct the guys, but they all know this now! Thank you for joining the conversation, are you looking forward to the next episode?
House Tully has a leaping trout as its sigil because they are a Riverlands house, dependent on the water, its life and its economy, for its existence and the health of its vassals, at least I assume so.
House Tully's sigil is a fish because they live in the riverlands. Fish us no no small supply in their land.
The Velaryon sigil is a seahorse which in some cultures, calls it a Seadragon because of its unique look resembling a dragon, house Valaryon is a seafaring household that's descends from a dragon Empire which is why they chose a sea dragon as there symbol.
Aye, for them I knew quite a bit more, but the Tullies was something I didn't know as much aside from them being allies with the starks during game of thrones and the familie ties etc. What is your favorite house?
cole aint even the worst person in this show
True, but his actor is very good at making people hate him 😁
Alys Rivers isn't Melissandre guys trust me .
Yeah we know, it's just a theory I encountered that I found interesting, but a lot of things don't add up so.. yep
It's funny that if Rhaenis was killed in an unjust war, you would call it a heroic and legendary war, but if Aegon was killed on the battlefield with a smaller Aegean like a king, you would call him a stupid war Why, because Rheinis is a so-called good person, it doesn't matter how many innocent people he kills and how he dies, his death is still heroic, but because Aganis is a bad person, then no matter how he dies, he is still humiliated and people make fun of him, because he is a bad person, you know how funny it is that in the real world, bad guys rule over us, so-called good people, democracy and freedom, and we make them powerful by paying taxes.
Aha..So? I've read the books, I know full well who is good and bad (spoilers - all are pretty bad) the show makes changes that make one side "good" but there is no such thing, both in fiction and in real life, the world is shades of grey. And we know plenty of the real world, we didn't grow up in the west, our parents were born behind the iron curton, we still see the aftermath of the regime in our country. You at least stand a chance in our current world under "democracy", no matter how small, it's better than 0. Anyway, the storytelling in the show is supposed to make you feel for some characters and not so for others, so of course, people will see some as good and others as bad. Cheers! :)
RIP the 🐐 🐐
Wow, Great reaction. Love this episode. The acting was so good.
Thank you! Agred, the actors are spectacular! And so is the episode and the show overall!
Targaryens do burn. Daenerys' situation was special because her hatching of her 3 dragons were caused by magic, it was not a normal experience. She quite literally brought dragons back into the world through magic ritual of sorts. I know Daenerys actually lost her hair in the books because of that fire, but that was changed in the show and I can't remember if Daenerys can still survive in fire in the books or if it was a one time thing, but anyway yeah in the show Daenerys could survive in fire but that was not normal for Targaryens, so the Targaryens in House of the Dragon can die from fire.
You are correct, and in the books from what I remember, it is a one time thing for her, another thing was that Jon burned his hand and George did confirm he is Rhaegars son so there is that.. It's a one time thing with Dany! Cheers!
You all make me miss Iceland so much 🇮🇸
Ohh, why Iceland? :O Are you from there?
I love watching you guys so stressed 😂😂😂
Haha, well I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of this! 😁
Rhaenys was their father's cousin, Viserys I. I think Aemond did want to kill his brother, both with fire and with the sword.
That would still make them cousins, just distant..still, never okay to kill your own kin, it's a tragedy :( And yeah..I am working on a video discussing this moment wtih Aemond and the contrast with daemond, I find it to be a fascinating topic! Thanks for joining the conversation!
4:00 that look :)))
When you know, you know! :D :)
what's with the girl side-eyeing 4th guy's sharing his goosebumps? belittling his excitement?
Hahah, the side eying was more about the other guy saying "death finaly' hahah, who is joking btw, he does have a thing for battle scenes but enjoys the show overall! As for the goosebumps guy..fun fact, he refused to watch HOTD when it came out coz of GOT's ending and I made him to start straight with season 2, he is now catching up on season 1 and loves the show!
Denis you are the best 😂
Life of the party! :D :)
Alys Rivers isn't Melisandre since they worship different gods and Melisandre has a different face shape and hair colour to Alys
Indeed, as I said in the video, I don't think that was the case, but the theory was floating around the internet and I figured it was worth mentioning to the others, thanks for joining in the conversation! Cheers!
That beard 😍😍
Thanks...grew it myself. - Javor
Actually the blacks still has a dragon bigger than meleys, thats caraxes who is half the size of vaghar.
No dude, ... Meleys is bigger than Caraxes dude ....Caraxes smaller , the order of sizes are Vhagar, Vermithor, dreamfyre, meleys then Caraxes.
@@marvinsol5531 I think 🤔 it's been said that caraxes was half the size of vaghar during daemon and aemon battle with each other. Caraxes is much slimmer that's why it's not that noticeable while meleys was a big, fast and hefty dragon than caraxes.
@@bsce-1cjhorampobadora881 Caraxes I think is said to be smaller, but a very capable fighter none the less!
Caraxes and Meleys are very similar in size. Meleys most likely having an edge. Caraxes has just as much as experience as Meleys or more and is more recently battle tested.
Another Cole W cry more couch bums
Hahah, so you actually enjoy the crybabe Cole? I'm interested in hearing why?
@@CouchPatroll The best warrior and commander of the war, he also stepped up as father figure to Alicent's kids, also he came form nothing to one of the most powerful people alive.
@@Heisenberg882came from nothing thanks to rhaenyra giving him opportunity instead of another noble family & yet his ungrateful ass isn't thankful. His keeps breaking his oath & yet blame others instead of himself, projects his own failures on others 💀 he's nothing but a crybaby hypocrite. Also where the hell did he step up for alicent's children? All we see is him training them for fighting which is most probably alicent asking him to do it & comes with his job. Other than that we haven't seen any "father" moment? He's still seen as a competent soldier/leader by them not as a father at all
Enjoy while it last because he's about to get worse death
@@angelyuqi6709 There are very subtle illusions to a deeper connection. Helaena was seen avoiding physical touch for all of season 1, yet in episode 9 she grasped Cristons arm. In the same episode Criston talks to Aemond casually about various topics. In episode 4 Criston is devastated when Aegon falls, he even abandons the battle and rides straight for Aegon and falls to his knees when he sees the state he’s in.
Rhenys is her auntie of Aemond and aegon
Agh I see you did the math, thanks for sharing it, the targarian family trea can get quite confusing at times! ;D
I love how worked up people get when they see the scene with Criston Dickhead Cole falling from his horse. lol All my homies hate Cole.
We hate him with every fiber of our bodies! hahaha But the actor is amazing!
