Severe Lack of Tension & Urgency - House of the Dragon S2 Review
A discussion and review of House of the Dragons 2nd Season.
Join me as I discuss my thoughts on the newest season. In short, I found it really disappointing. The second season of HOTD is severely lacking any writing tools to create a tension, urgency, meaning, and purpose. I like and enjoy many aspects of the show but the overall writing is so poorly done that it ended up bringing down the entire season. I also have not read the books so I am basing all of my opinions and the character developments solely from the tv show.
As always, leave your thoughts down below in the comments section

The Complicated Yet Perfect Tragedy of The Last of Us 2 | Story Analysis
Просмотров 28 тыс.Месяц назад
An in-depth discussion and review of The Last of Us 2. This tragic story has so much packed within it. It’s a game with so many mixed and complex emotions as the creators are constantly putting the player in uncomfortable situations. I am so impressed at how the writers have nailed the balance of silence and dialogue allowing for the most emotional experience within this tragic story of Grief, ...

    On Norman not having a "good" ending that doesn't result in the ARI hallucinations: I could've sworn there _was_ an ending for Norman without this if you spent very little time played as Norman with the glasses on. I may be experiencing Mandela Effect, but I was positive if you basically rushed every scene Norman has glasses on, you could get a different ending.

    20:19 Not sure that I agree. I think Daemon was changed before he saw the last vision. Actually he only got to see that last vision because he changed. I think we know this because he says to Alys Rivers that he once would not take her seriously, but now he has an appreciation for the magic (something to that effect).

    They love stating the BLOODY OBVIOUS... this is CIVIL WAR why minimize it to the point.. the characters are saying it is pointless and I am looking at their weakness and indecisive thinking and the minimizing of death and war alike... and adding prophecy is super dumb...daemon didnt need to commit war crimes and he and jace wasn't a cry baby. And you're right I feel like the time skips in season 1 confuses the show especially when season 2 is contradicting alicent gave her power away to her daughter when she married her king and son and she called haelena "MY QUEEN" they destroyed the characters from fire and blood when they made them their own adding insecurites and things that arent there at all in the books and not only just because they arent adapting the books but because the show doesnt make sense in the middle of war.. and the story itself isn't impactful especially when you minimize death and honestly the characters could have these small emotions during season 1 when they first became to the realization of their respective realities I mean these feelings are crazy to have in the middle of war... it weakens things in my opinion....

    Talking about the chapter "The Experiment" I played a really nice Aiden, and didn't do anything, and the game still considered I was out of control. Same, when Jodie's playing in the snow, I let go of the kid immediatly and it still acted like I nearly killed him. It's like the relationship with Ryan, there's not really a choice, and I hated that. But... Even with its flaws I still like that game.

    🛶 I have always felt that anyone who played this game and hated it just because they had to play as Abby completely missed the point. It's a story about what holding bitterness in your heart does to you, even if it is totally justified. Ellie allowed her bitterness to destroy her, and if you can't get through the game because you hate Abby that much... then you have the same problem.

    I played little hope already being spoiled on the “it was all a dream” ending but nothing else, im one of those people who wants to always be nice and heroic in games so I never really got any locked traits except for david because I was silent when mary & the priest were talking, despite knowing the ending, I was still disappointed because I actually did become attached to the characters and liked them, and I wish the game took the reincarnation approach more than the hallucination one. I think i’d prefer if the group were the reincarnations of anthony’s family, and andrew is just a random kid who anthony see’s himself as, and he has to learn to move on and accept his familys death after seeing andrew get a “found family” if that makes sense. I just wish they did more with the generation reincarnation stuff. I still loved it overall

    biggest problem is that writers are afraid to make both female leads do anything bad or unlikable . War started not because Alicent was power hungry, but because of misunderstanding . Rhaenyra didn't want to assassinate the innocent kid, she did not want to send Rhaenys to battle, she had to volunteer , bot of them are trying to avoid the war that man have started in their name... somehow .

    They are not talking about the prince that was promised they were talking about aegons prophecy a song of ice and fire never once did anyone say there’s “a prince that was promised”. The vision was to show damn he needs to back rheanyra so HIS lineage could prevail which leads to denarys , who is not the prince that was promised anyways .

    • @bread_sticks
      @bread_sticks 9 дней назад

      "from my blood come the prince that was promised and his will be the song of ice and fire" that's literally what the prophecy on aegons dagger says in the show. So when they are discussing the prophecy of the song of ice and fire, the prince part is literally half of the entire thing. We the audience know this even if characters in the show don't and it's just a very misleading way the visions were framed.

    Honestly they could've worked with 8 episodes. Was it underwhelming? Yes but It's not even the lack of action and dragon battles that got me turned off this season, It's the awful brain dead writing, monotonous storytelling and character assassinations. I rewatched season 1 of GOT last week and god damn I could watch them just talking all day. There was tension and conflict. It goes to show that a multimillion dollar budget and all the cgi in the world cant replace good writing & storytelling. HOTD, season 2 specifically, is just filled with shameless cameos, marvel-esque fan service, and nonsensical plot lines that veered too far from the book.

    I don’t agree with your Aemond take. I think it makes a lot of sense that Aemond wouldn’t care about the small folk. Aegon was the King That Cared. They both, in a sense ,understood what it was like to be ignored, to feel small. Aegon was a figurehead, and Aemond grew up without a dragon. But after aegon becomes king and is treated how he is, I can only guess, but he feels a connection to the small folk. Overlooked and ignored. But Aemond? His insecurities caused him to lean into his Valyrian supremacy. With the largest dragon in the world, that only exacerbates the situation. He’s IS the most formidable power IN THE WORLD. So when Rhaenyra gives dragons to the bastards, his position and sense of self, much like Jace’s, is completely threatened. So him burning sharp point made sense to me- as much as I wished to see it- and Jace threatening to have Ulf hanged for his disrespect makes sense to me.

    It just felt that Rhaenyra didn’t understand what predicament she was in after Rooks rest. Aemond could have flown to Drgaonstone and taken down Syrax, Moondancer and Vermax relatively easily. She needed the dragon seeds, not for the throne, but to protect her life!!!!!!!!

  • @SheilaPatterson
    @SheilaPatterson 14 дней назад

    I’ll tell you why Aemond doesn’t give a shit about the small folk. Because in his ego he thinks they aren’t even a threat. He has Vhagar, he believes she and him are invincible, and it’s pure hubris, likely his downfall (have not read the books) He’s also a probably a psychopath or narcissist, operating out of shame, trying to prove himself, telling himself he doesn’t care what others think. Was teased, bullied, and had a traumatic injury as a child. All these things converge into this cold indifferent monster, who only truly cares about himself. He dismisses the small folk because he is a god and they are mere ants under his feet. A god does not concern himself with ants.

    In truth the prince that was promised was dropped as a plot point. It is not relevant once the long night really happens nor in any disucssion afterwards. Not even Arya was the ptwp because it is dropped as a plot point and thus discussing it in hotd has no relevancy. No one talked about what the prince was or was supposed to be in thrones after stannis, and thus it never played a role in the end of the long night. Trying to choose someone to be it in hotd makes no sense because in the end, it didnt matter, it wasn't even a relevant plot point outside of discussions amongst fans, and thats only because we discussed with with pre existing book knowledge. They cant fix Game of Thrones dropping that plot by making it relevant in this show, it doesnt work that way. In the canon they are following, the PTWP is just a myth that amounted to nothing when the real threat came. No one was Azor Ahai because it was almost completely dropped and so we know none of this prophecy talk amounts to anything. (But both GoT and HoTD can pry from my cold dead hands the fact that Jon is the prince that was promised in my head, they will never change my mind on that no matter how GoT ended or how much HoTd is now pushing Dany)
