Queen Dowager Alicent Hightower ''bends the knee'' pretty early in the tv version of the Targaryen Civil War. In the book, she surrenders only after the end of the Battle of the Honeywine, the Battle at the Gullet and the ''Fishfeed'' Battle. All these said battles haven't even happened yet in House of the Dragon. She also only capitulates at King's Landing after having no choice but to admit defeat. Even then, she was looking out for the best interests of her lineage. Alicent suggested that the Seven Kingdoms be divided between Rhaenyra and her son while keeping an arrogant air of disdain towards her stepdaughter. In HOT D, by having her go to Rhaenyra and plead for mercy while offering her son's head on a silver platter, the show makes her irredeemable with her lack of courage and family/nation pride.
What about the fact that Ser Christen Cole killed Joffrey Lonmouth by murdering him during a banquet, while in the books it happened by accident during a duel at a tourney, which was sanctioned combat.
I wouldn’t call it a filler episode. We’ve had a couple of them this season. This was a good episode, but just not as a finale. There was too much build up and not enough pay off.
7:29 1. Why big eyes? Looked for dragon and found one 2. Maybe she gets burned alive or injured, and then appears book rider Nettles 3. If Nettles is excluded, they'll have to create a new character or change another one's role to affect Rhaenyra and Daemon story like Nettles did
You must be out of the loop. Only eight Season 2 episodes were planned. People are focusing way too much on the action; we need some calm in the mix so we can have a balance.
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 while I pity you for clearly missing the joke they were going for, I do agree that there's too many Fast And The Furious fans getting into this series. This universe has always been about politics and talking. Moving game pieces and setting things up with very occasional action-packed payoffs. These meatheads are like, "THERE NEEDS TO BE DRAGON BATTLES IN EVERY EPISODE AND THINGS GOING KABOOM"
4:19 the thing is that the book is a history book meaning that it can be unreliable so they maybe wanted to make aegon look “good” in that particular moment
So tired of this excuse. So the book mistook the Black Valaryians as White with purple eyes? Nah. HBO took a war between family members and turned it into a show about two lesbians that couldn't be together because of men so they plunged the realm into war.
So...a question Where is corlys's army? They are gonna fight the essos pirates with just one ship? And why there is no dragon with them? Shouldn't Rhaenyra sent one with them? I had so many questions that left unanswered Like where is criston Cole will going or Jason lannister destination which left unanswered
Corlys' army is at the Gullet creating a blockade to King's Landing, there's hundreds of ships there and if the pirates were to attack them Rhaenryra would surely send dragons to help defend it since it's so close to Dragonstone. Criston Cole is going to Harrenhall and Jason Lannster is meeting him there
In the book Otto Hightower decides to negotiate with the Triarchy to attack Corlys Velaryon’s fleet that blockades the Gullet during the war but in the show Aemond sends Tyland Lannister to negotiate with the Triarchy into attacking Corlys’s fleet that’s blockading the Gullet
@@jaytender4949 If no one cares why did they change them in the first place? Because people who obsessd with their skn colour wanted to see themselves on the TV.
Some of the differences are believable, since Fire and Blood is told more as a historical text than the POV chapters we get in the ASOIAF series. But some of the changes are just silly.
Vhagar took forever to get close enough to Sunfyre and Meleys and even longer to “Dracarys” (enough time that Aegon and Meleys could’ve fled) so I hope by the old Gods and the New that the show runners aren’t serious when they say the series is what actually happened, because it’s completely nonsensical and even moronic to think that a dragon as large and as slow as Vhagar can take that long to fly to battle and then suddenly reappear in the light of speed behind a castle for a sneak attack after being thrown to the ground by Meleys (during their second fight)… In the books, Vhagar watches as Meleys and Sunfyre battle, and all she does is fall on top of them, weighing both dragons down, killing Meleys by breaking her body and injuring Sunfyre and Aegon… I’ve seen plenty of people say/complain that the episode was perfect until that moment, so I know I’m not alone in this
Most of the season is filler. I'm out. Get to wait 2 more years for even more filler. Nope. Love the actors, but I'm bored with the writing and pacing. Like Aemond burnt down that village and we don't get to see it? Everyone who loves the show, go for it. I hope you continue enjoying it. I just feel so bored
All these changes is the reason why season 2 is so confusing and questionable they changed so much of the original book story that now this is a whole different thing all together. Season 2 was basically one big battle episode 4 and the rest is filler and build up for season 3
Criston makes sense narratively. There was similar video for S1 after it ended, and they said black Varion is welcomed diversity for Westeros and hinted that critics are racist
Horrible season all over illogical writing at its peak .. Rhaenyra, a mother will never show restraint after her sons murder. Alicent, another mother will chooses her rival over her own children, and Daemons unnecessary whole season long Rehab
Basically, this show is very pro-Black, while in books, both sides were guilty of equally serious crimes. They seem only sympathetic to Helaena from Greens
Daemon having dragon dreams courtesy of Alys Rivers was basically plot filler as "Fire and Blood" doesn't mention what Daemon was doing at Harrenhall prior to the Battle Beneath the God's Eye

literally 3 episodes were quality this season, so overrated. I legit believe its getting good reviews becauce of hype and because its GOT prequel... othervise, season 1 epic, season 2 s**t

Top one reason why I could not care less about these books (least of all the tv shows) anymore: they’ll likely never be finished. The most intense example of Bathos in the history of Bathos.
@@Lich_King_Cos_21 in my opinion it is not. That’s the beginning of the story. The end is not in place. The end of it will most certainly have a crucial impact on the beginning.
I didn't read the books, so don't come for me. But I really don't understand why if Helaena is having these visions of their demise, and Daemon is having these visions too... then why go through with this war? Ok, yea, for the throne 🙄 But like... "unaliving" themselves, their own family members, their dragons... hardly seems worth it, imo. And if she's having these visions, why not change the outcome by doing something different. Like with the baby... she knew these rat catchers were coming for her son, so why not give up the girl instead? 🤨 And what about these innocent dragons anyway, that are just being used as weapons? Aren't the dragons all related? Using them for their strength and power hardly seems like a good idea just for a throne that only pokes and s t a b s you if you're deemed "not worthy". If Daemon knows he's "just a piece on the board", then why continue with this nonsense? Kinda makes no sense to me, Mr. Martin 🧐 Especially when he himself says "the throne is a burden". Just burn it down and have them rule their own land where they currently are then. Everyone already calls them Kings and Queens anyway.
Rheayna (spelling?) I was hoping to see her get a dragon. At least they show her finding the one she was looking for, especially after all her searching.

In the books Laena does not get Vhgar to burn her alive.
She dies (mid labour) on her way to Vhgar for one last flight.

why do people even care, if you wanna know just read the book, you have an entire year before season 3
Entire 2 years precisely
Or go to Audible and listen to the book version read by…🙂
You forgot to mention they killed off Willem Blackwood in the show
Sunfyre ate Rhaenyra (Book) vs. Sunfyre dies at Rooks rest (TV)
It’s been confirmed Sunfyre is Alive. Aegon just don’t know about it.
I'll believe Sunfyre is dead when I see the body. He was still alive last time we saw him.
Sunfyre was also wounded when he ate Rhaenyra in books, so, it can still happen. Now, stop spoiling the show for those who haven't read the books
Biggest difference? The book is great and the show is just a letdown.
Daemon having dragon dreams courtesy of Alys Rivers was basically plot filler as "Fire and Blood" doesn't mention what Daemon was doing at Harrenhall prior to the Battle Beneath the God's Eye
Filler as "to waste time" or "to fill the gaps"
Alys Rivers is at the side of Aemond in the books. Pretty much the opposite of Daemon
Rhaena? More like Lame-a
Daemon having dragon dreams courtesy of Alys Rivers was basically plot filler as "Fire and Blood" doesn't mention what Daemon was doing at Harrenhall prior to the Battle Beneath the God's Eye
also Blood гãþęđ Jahaera out of boredom when Helaena was taking too long to choose
also Helaena being a dragon dreamer in the same lilt as Cassandra of Greek myth
Blood did not. "Cheese warned her to make a choice soon, before Blood grew bored and (did that to) Jaehaera."
Filler as "nothing happens" or as "fills missing info"
