He may be an *idiot* but Sunfyre loves Aegon 😢😢😢
Sunfyre is the cutest boy! 💛
That little head nudge really said it all.
"I inherited 80 years of peace from my father" = 55 year reign of her Grandfather, Jahaerys and her father's 25 year reign.
Westeros doesn't deserve her. She is the only thinking about the well being of the realm.
The woman he saw with the white hair pouring drinks was his wife who killed herself in child birth by dragon fire season 1.
Previous rider of Vhagar
Funny that none of them recognize her 😂
@@affiqothman because they talk over everything and don't pay attention
@@khronoskay2749 No, it's because there are tons of characters, all with very similar names, and you're seeing us watch this for the first time, with no internet assistance, the way a lot of people watch this show, and that's not an uncommon experience.
@@hectorminator no offense or anything I love your channel, but everyone else manages to do it without internet assistance, try taking notes or something... again no offense, but the way you guys are dismissive of everything about this show it makes it look like you don't even like it and are only doing it for the views, sorry...
A friendly fyi regarding the 80 years of peace. It includes the years of peace from the previous king. Viserys was 52 at his death and had ruled for 26.
PS - really glad you decided to cover this series.
Rhaenys and Meleys died with honor. We saw they could've left, but its war time. If she and her dragon can do more, they will at any cost.
One could argue it would have been better if she'd fled. Now team black has lost a great mind and their biggest dragon. If she'd retreated, the castle would have been lost but what happened to Aegon would be counted as the huge victory. Better live to fight another day.
She probably tried to make up for not burning them all last season or something but not smart.
You guys should also remember that Aegon was never MEANT to be King. He had no formal training whatsoever and as such is very much clueless about everything. When Aegon was made aware that he was going to be named king, recall that he ran away and hid. At that moment he knew he didn't want the throne because he wasn't prepared for it. He only grew to like it at his coronation when people cheered after anything he did. Anyways hope y'all are enjoying the show! And if you feel like the characters piss you off then give props to the actors for getting you guys to feel SOMETHING for their characters! If you guys go on to watch Game of Thrones, there will be characters in that show you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE to hate!
Cheers y'all!
@@Jose_Antonio_Lopez these people think aegon ii is another joffery, where doesn't belong on the throne, but I think people will appreciate and connect's his character in passing episode's, I will say the show is pretty biased in the black favour where they are the good guys and green are the bad kind of ,
Where George Martin say nobody is a bad or good in the dance all people have their flaus
@@simplestgamerz691 If u read the books you’d know they made the greens way better in the show than they are in the books. In the books Alicient is power hungry and steals the throne from Rhaenyra she also keeps king Viserys rotten body locked up while doing it. Aemond was never bullied by Rhaenyra kids in the books he was just evil because he liked to be, he meant to kill lucerys it wasn’t an accident. Nobody on team black in the books were as crazy as team green until the war had started. In the books Rhaenyra even says she will forgive aegon, Aemond, Daeron and Helena if they bend the knee to her whereas Aegon never give her that option alone he required she bend the knee to him and have two of her sons work for him as squire and cupbearer(her two sons lives would be taken if she upset the king). When lucerys died in the book Rhaenyra grieved and did nothing for a long time because she was so depressed. When Jaehaerys was killed in the books, Alicient demanded blood’s mother name so she can bathe in the blood of his family members.
Aegon was placed on the throne and he’s basically a figurehead. He has no REAL authority. It’s irony at its finest.
Ironic for her since she forced him on the throne.
Hope Emma D'arcy is in everything after this, so damn good!
@@nerdsengage She is so talented.
They*@@StanleyMabonga
Vhagar and Meleys (Rhaenys dragon) were the dragons of Daemon and Viserys's parents. Nana Vhagar is not only the oldest dragon but her battle experience is extensive.
You can tell the difference in battle styles between the 3. The brothers don't really have one except for dracarys. Meleys knew to use her claws to bleed the other two, inflicting damage.
Yeah! It's more of vhagar experience of sneak attacks that came in clutch. She is the most experienced war dragon the westeros has ever seen.
She fought more wars than even balerion.
@@Noone91875 Not any more, she ain’t (said in The Ghoul’s voice)
@@p-forest lol ok, ok,
10:31 we all wanted this but didn’t realize we were gonna be attached to the dragons. Seein them suffer really gets me even tho it’s a show.
While I was watching I realized I didnt want anything to happen to any of them. That it was all one big unnecessary tragedy. I even grown to really love Aegon as a character. Otto used his daughter who used her son. Alicent tries to confide in Otto, he doesn't wish to hear it. Alicent walks by her son crying, she doesnt wish to hear it. The next episode she blames him for everything, refusing to take any responsibility when in reality, both him and Aemond are just alone. Never knowing if anyone really loved them. They probably see Rhaenyra and get upset and misplaced it towards her. So I actually was really sad to see that happen to Aegon and ya, his dragon too.
The white haired woman daemon was hallucinating was his late wife, Laena Velaryon. She was Vhagar’s rider before Aemond. She ordered Vhagar to burn her bc she was struggling in childbirth.
Daemon & Laena’s kids are Baela and Rhaena
they were guessing abt who the real person is, obv it cant actually be the real Laena shes dead
@@AllTheArtsy oh, i thought they were wondering who laena was lol
"It's just a lady"....or maybe a vision of his dead wife. 😂😂
they were guessing abt who the real person is, obv it cant actually be the real Laena shes dead
@@AllTheArtsy which is why the way they said it was funny. Note the laughing emojis
@@ChrisHaar No, it was the "commoner" who was pouring the wine in real life who was "just a lady", as opposed to the vision he was having.
@@hectorminator I knew what you meant. I just had to laugh at the way you said it.
A show that can make me care enough about dragons going down, and genuinely devastated watching it, is doing something very very right.
These guys aren’t paying close enough attention to the show. That woman in Daemon’s dream was Laena Velaryon, his previous wife that died. And Alyn is obviously Corlys Velaryon’s bastard son. Wish they’d take this show a bit more seriously tbh
They knew who Daemon's dead wife was. They were talking about the real woman that was in the room.
Aegon did bully Aemond relentlessly his whole life, so I can't say I'm super surprised by what he did from that standpoint too.
That’s one thing that was missing in the first season. Showing the kids meeting there hatched dragon. Then there first time flying. Also I feel it would be awesome to see how both rider/dragon train in the air. Like is there a training area for them to practice there flying in and burn attack as well as in air maneuvering. Seeing that would have been amazing
In response to hector, the show runners said this conflict will be around 3-4 seasons. SUPER light spoilers, but based on the book it seems they will end the conflict around 3/4ths of the way through the final season and spend the last few episodes on the aftermath which is called The Hour of The Wolf although that’s not certain. There’s potential the show may continue into future conflicts from the book like the Blackfyre rebellion but that’s just speculation.
Probably the most epic thing I've ever seen on tv. I was worried how they would make dragon battles look cool and not tacky. They absolutely pulled it off. This show is like a 200 million dollar art project.
Also the Targaryen's are absolutely off the rails. It's intentional really. Colonizers from another continent with blond hair and blue eyes with flying nukes named targARYAN. The dragons are also said to be chimera creations as well as the dragon riders. If you look closely at Rhaenyra's baby at the end of season 1, you'll see she gave birth to a half dragon. So the Dragons are also Targaryen.
Yes. I read in another GOT book that the mages that created the dragons used blood magic, sacrificing their own people to make the dragons smarter and able to bond with their riders. So, dragons have human DNA, and Valerians have dragon DNA. The Targeryns are si inbred that those,dormant gene can show sometimes.
And so well written that it's a genuine emotional hit when the cgi creatures die😢
"Thata luttle shit king is dead." Love it, Hector, but dont be so sure.
@@JenniferDonahue702 Oh I know! lol little shit...
Rhaenys was sent by Queen Rhaenyra to protect the people of Rooks Rest in this Battle. Just because Vhagar shows up to fight it doesn't mean the Battle is over. If Rhaenys had fled back to Dragonstone, running away from the Battle and Abandoning the people of Rooks Rest, Rhaenyra's claim would be viewed as weak. Like Queen Rhaenyra runs away when things get tough. That's the simple answer for Rhaenys's suicide mission. Put even simpler, there were still people to protect.
By the Queen 👑 Who *ALWAYS* Was 💔 ❤️
Rest in Dragonfire Meleys and Princess Rhaenys Targareyan.
So sad but she went out honorably and like the warrior queen she should have been.
@@JenniferDonahue702 I'm still heart 💔
@@hellzzonearth rightfully so. They were glorious.
@JenniferDonahue702 I look forward to and don't look forward to the rest of this dance of dragons.
I dig the show detailing Aemond and Vhagar have to sneak kill Rhaenys and Meleys.
It's the only way he and his old a$$ dragon can do any damage.
Poor dragons, it is horrible to watch them suffer like this because of vengeful petty idiots taking advantage of these beautiful animals
@@jeydaness it’s like watching dog fighting (how I’d imagine it would be)
@@jeydaness
Honestly, given the implied intelligence of dragons, it would have been interesting if all the dragons collectively decided they weren’t going to kill each other or each other’s humans.
i think if aegon lived he's gonna wish he was dead being burnt and broken bone injuries will be bad
I watched a series where a guy had all his bones broken - the only thing he was thinking about was how to recover quickly and take revenge on everyone) so.... who knows 👀
Oh, Hector. If Daemon died right there, Rhaenyra would lose the war. She doesn't have an army even. He's in Harrenhal to get it for her. You realize she married him to be feared, right? Daemon Targaryen is the most feared man in Westeros.
Black Panther voice: "I don't care." lol
GRRM wanted to make sure the dragons were all a bit different in size, color or form particularly for
HOTD cuz they definitely didn't have much differences in
Game of Thrones!
There were only 3 dragons back then!!
Funny that we were all excited to see the dragons battle but we do feel a bit sad for them cuz as you say
It's not their fault most times cuz they just do what they're told to do!😢 Great reaction!
🙂
Rest In Peace Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen Who Should Have Been and Meleys, the Red Queen! Fierce and brave until the very end. Their bond was so strong and it made it even more heartbreaking when they died together. 🖤❤️
They will be missed!!
It's heartbreaking to watch the dragons fight and kill each other thanks to the dumb humans who can't live in peace over a stupid chair made of swords (it's probably not even comfortable to sit on) and power (always power). 😭💔
Poor Sunfyre was not prepared for Meleys. 🥺 Aegon is a stupid drunk who deserves to die from his recklessness (by his brother who wants revenge for all the bullying) but not Sunfyre! Such a sweet and innocent dragon. Aegon's ONLY good relationship/bond and he f**ks it up. 😭
Aegon's fall will absolutely be blamed on Rhaenys and ultimately Rhaenyra/the Blacks. Aemond and Criston will spin it to their advantage. 🙄
The battle between the dragons was intense and magnificent to watch, and it was clear it wouldn't end well for Rhaenys if she stayed, which she of course did.
#TeamBlackAndRedQueens
Sadly season 2 is only going to be 8 episodes
If you think Aegon is the worst, wait until you see King Joffrey in GoT.
That Rush Hour 2 blooper reference tho 😂
I don’t think Aegon is dead. Amond was about to finish the job but Cole stopped him. I think Aegon will be very badly injured, possibly burned to a crisp.
this season is only 8 episodes
I've heard Vhagar, Aemond's dragon, described as Godzilla with wings. It's true, though. Vhagar is a kaiju.
Aegon story is sad on one side. He was tryign to be good and helpful king from begining, but Otto and others always changed his mind and now they going around him even in the small council. He lost his son because of his brother actions. His acting is great
RIP to the QUEEN WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN!
this season is firing all cylinders now, 4 more episodes to go 🤌🏻
RIP Sunfyre
he’s alive
For now though
@@hellzzonearth and stay alive until season 3.
Hell yeah, Agustin. They talk about in the BTS video about how they looked at how eagles fight.
No matter what team you are on, or if you're on neither team, I believe we can all agree that the dragons dying for this civil war is heartbreaking.
YEP!
There’s only going to be 8 episodes this season, not 10.
15:28 you got a pain in your chest and you can't breathe? So I ain't fat no more, huh? 😂😂😂
Adam about to eat those words!
Hey guys I’m struggling rn, life in Canada is not all that good, somehow no matter how shitty of a day i’m having I always find myself watching all the reactions you guys post daily and it gives me like 15-20 minutes of peace thank you. You guys are seriously one of my favourite channels and I watch a lot of reactions
Thanks so much for watching! And even when things are bad, try and remember that you can only control what you can control in your life, do the best you can with what you're given, and eventually things will change.
Vhagar strategy is always surprising her prey😭 She did the same with poor lil Arrax last season😢
Dragons are not forced to fight they do what they will, whilst they do have a life bond with their rider and respond to commands they are still of their own minds and do what they feel is right to themselves and their rider, As we saw in season 1 witth Aemond and Vhagar killing Lucerys, that was Vhagars choice to do that not Aemond's.
The moment with Sunfyre snuggling Aegon was the only good scene Aegon has had in the whole series. Lol
7:48 it’s sad because he didn’t want the throne, he ran from it. He was never trained or prepped for the throne.
Alyn and Addam are Corlyis' illegitimate sons. Spoiler.
Cool, thanks.
The synchronized gasps at 12:55. 👏👏👏
We have four more episodes. We're at the halfway point. This season is eight episodes with an A and B part.
Does that mean we will have a wait for part B?
That will be season 3@@susanleach9106
To be fair Aegon didn’t wanna be king because they forced him to and he grew to like feeling loved because he never got it as a child and you can tell from the first episode with the sheep farmer and steel workers that his instincts is to be nice but all these kids are effed, pretty much everyone of their family members have failed them especially green side , but ole dude is still an immature child that wasn’t given any guidance and had his kids head chopped off so him acting the way he does and his mom and Otto being suprised is wild , they failed him and wanna play victim not sayin he’s a good person but atleast he’s not purely evil little ass like Joffery was
Honestly, I feel bad for Aegon. He never wanted to be king, he was never prepared for anything. A couple of episodes, he was trying to be generous to his people, but the hand was like nahhhhh. He’s just a kid who just wants to get drunk and bang.
Then he should kingly decree to step down and let someone else run the show but he won't, that's not how the world works, etc., etc. I still don't feel bad for him, though. He's a jerk!
@@hectorminatorTrue, but they don’t do that in this world unfortunately
Been waiting for some Dragon fighting and they delivered!! Best episode of this season! Rhaenys went out like a gangsta!!
5:56 Organs? ...It's heartwood sap. It looks like blood. Highly hallucinogenic.
3:15 not Hector bowing back to Maester Orwyle 😂😂😂 that was so funny
Bummed about Rhaenys BUT she HAD to try and take out Vhagar. That would've ended the war.
"Plan Tea" is so gdmn funny bro 😂
I think the reason Aegon is so upset about not being listened to is because as Corlys once said "History doesn't remember blood, it remembers names." If he sits back and does nothing all everyone will speak about is how great Cole was in battle and how formidable Ameond was on Vhagar - just like they were saying at the council meeting before he left. He will be forgotten in history if he cannot make a notable contribution. I actually felt bad for him. He didn't want this, he never did. They never even trained him secretly to do the job correctly if they wanted him to have it. And now they belittle him for not knowing enough. He only started wanting to be King during the coronation because the people applauded and praised him, something he never got at home from his family. Alicent is a terrible mother. She didn't even comfort him when his son died and now when she actually speaks to him it is only to make him feel useless and worthless. I know people say that is because she got that from her father but that's not true because other people can go through those same experiences and choose to be much better as parents than their own parents were to them. Simply because they understand how bad it made them feel growing up in a household like that - they overcompensate for it. She is cruel because she wants to be nothing more.
The implication of Rhaenys’ scene with Alyn is that he is a bastard son of Lord Corlys…
been loving these S2 reactions
am i wrong for seeing huge similarities with the rhaenys scene at the end and the bomb scene in dr strangelove? specially considering dragons are basically the nukes of westeros?
Drogon still the best looking dragon they have ever done. Specifically when Jon meets him and Danny on the cliff. I'm pretty sure they got a real dragon for that scene.
As much as I loved the quote from Rush Hour 2… my soul 😞
regardless of what aemond does, he will continue to carry himself like a mixture of hannibal lecter and a pirate, and that alone will make him the best character to me
@@gchicago9 nah bs lol
What a great episode. Loving this. Enjoy watching your reactions as always!
Thank you, guys, for your reactions. Continue to enjoy them every time.
All I hear is that eps are going to get messier. LoL
this season only has 8 episodes
How did House of the Dragon foreshadow real life?
Alan but spelled weird
Allyn it is
Nah, too weird
Alen
Hmmm
Ahlyn
Ugh
Allyn?
what t-shirts y'all sportin?
The only green I like is Aemond. Alicent hates her kids. I liked how Jucerys stood up to Rhaneyra and she let him in front of the council to establish his place as heir. Why did i cry over a death of a dragon??😭😭...also, the battlefield scenes after, all the ash that were people, smoke, fire, people walking in shock...just shows when Rhaneyra said she is unleashing this and she dont just want it over a crown. This is like seeing the nuclear bomb being used the first time.
Pienso que Rhaenys volvio por Lucerys, ademas de cumplir con su deber como generala quizo vengar a su nieto
Great episode and great reaction. But I hate to say it, season 2 is 8 episodes not 10. So this being ep.4 we are halfway done with the season.
Poor Aegon and Sunfyre. Play dragon games win dragon prizes 😅
I think the season is only 8 episodes, right?
Yes
y'all have no clue what lies for Aegon
sunfyre ain't dead. not yet anyway
Imagine if Helaena was a warrior princess and used Dreamfyre, Team green would have the 2 biggest Dragons fighting for them.
The story would be totally different.
there are 8 episodes
Love these reactions homies!! So cool to watch each week now as the new episodes come out. ❤
Your consistent mis -understanding about Viserys’ age cracks me up every time 😂 He was just THAT sick. He died pretty young actually.
❤️❤️❤️
Yep but I will always joke that dude looked 108.
@@hectorminator 🤣
You guys should react to the preview for the next episode
1:24, there can be only one...
Aemond is definitely still my favorite character, no matter what happens, no matter what he does.
hard agree
He’s very complex - he’s understandable and terrifyingly competent
I'm Team Black but Aemond is my favourite Green. They gave him such a hard time growing up. Look at him now.
its 8 episodes total, 4 more to go sadly
Only 8 episodes this season guys.
it's only 8 episodes this season
Only 8 episodes unfortunately
There’s only 8 episodes so halfway
Not exactly a spoiler, but Aegon survives the flames and fall, as seen in the preview too, and it's gonna take awhile for him to somewhat mobile again.
aegon isnt even that bad. Well he is but isnt.. he was a better man until they beheaded hes Kid. even rhaenys has done worse things than him. killed lots of innocent people in kingslanding with her dragon.
where's the scene of Alicent pregnant taking the tea to abort?
Vhagar’s two wins both being fast sneak attacks doesn’t sit well with me. She’s the largest, slowest, oldest dragon. She wouldn’t even be able to forseeable hide from Rhaenys on the coast (look at the scene when her dragon is flying below the cliff). Just lazy scene plotting like the hidden scorpions on the wide open ocean in GOT.
Oh god the Sniper that hit at 2,000 ft in the sky and then miss at 100 feet. Not nearly as bad.
Still wondering why someone with her experience could get caught like that after winning the first 2 engagements. Wouldn't someone with her experience use the lighter dragon to climb then speed to dive bomb on and attack with height/vision?
Seems strange to me a bit, although I don't think it would have changed the outcome but Meleys could have done more damage and had a better 3rd engagement.
none of the characters are dark skinned in the source material so any time they make sus comments about appearances its not really meant to be racist. they just chose to make some of the characters black without really thinking that much about the implications for certain parts of the story/certain lines they wrote.
Or they did it purposefully to leave out the question of the kids being bastards and being quite obvious that they are
@@matthewheywood8532 well yeah they did it purposely, the show didnt get made by mistake. but i think thats the only element of it they gave thought to. the characters in the show otherwise make very little comment on appearances. if anything, theyre more xenophobic with the dornish/criston cole than any of the dark skinned characters
The book writer is the lead writer and one of the producers of the show. Literally, the only reason youre upset is exactly what everyone thinks the reason is. If anything, it enhances the story. Season 1 it was so obvious about her children. Also, is it really so bad that other people who look different than you can see someone on the show who looks more like them? Ridiculous
@@gchicago9 because they have fought wars with the dornish for centuries and the dornish killed aegon the conquer sister wife
@@superkoopatrooper4879i cant tell if this was supposed to be directed at me but if it was, I don't see what I said to imply that I'm upset about it. its just obvious to me they didnt think that much about how some stuff plays in a modern context if the story isnt taking place among groups of people that generally look very similar. the number of people i saw that thought daemon referring to his bronze bitch was a race thing, for example.
Aemond & Vhagar are carrying the show, their AURA is insane🔥🔥
Adam…. I’m sorry I love ta bro, but your shirt is triggering me
