What do you think of Matt Smith as Daemon? Some like him. But some others dislike because he's supposed to be handsome? Not the book reader, but was he being described as "handsome" in the book?
@@rahmatmanurung8133 I don't remember him being described as handsomein the book, but he might gave been. The attraction is treating people who traditionally are seen as "weaker" (that are aware of their place in the world) as your equal or even superior, no matter their gender. Although, he does seem to love to pick on men more. It doesn't mean that he's a good guy, it just means he's smart. Matt Smith was a perfect choice for this role. After Doctor Who, I saw him in The Crown and was stunned at his range between the 2 shows. Amazing actor.
This is an AMAZING video for someone like me who didn't read the books yet. You explain everything so well, without it getting confusing ☺️ Keep making them, please!
I didn’t know the actor who plays Daemon and honestly wasn’t very impressed by the stills released, but damn!!! His performance is AMAZING. I’m already in love with Daemon. Lol
I get the strong feeling that Nettles was infact a dragonseed. Daemon's dragonseed. The timeline & circumstances of her birth fit very well. Gotta love the Targaryens lol
Nettles likely doesn’t have any Targ blood, she’s literally just taming dragons the same way the ancient Valeriyans did. I think she serves to show that Targs aren’t actually all that special
@@emilybarclay8831 why not? Not all people with Valyrian ancestry appear as such. And Targs are sort of special when it comes to bonding with their dragons also it is implied that ancient Valyrians did use blood magic to tame/bond with wild dragons
There's also the question of how a dockside whore's bastard daughter had enough money to buy a sheep every day for weeks on end to tame a dragon. It's not like Dragonstone is prime sheep country, it's mostly fishermen. She must have had some help and/or advice and/or money from someone. Someone who didn't provide those things to any of the other seeds who tried to tame Sheepstealer.
In our history the Hapsburgs ( who were the inspiration for the Targaryens ) also married between close family members. Philip IV requested his wife who was also his niece to call him uncle
Prince Baelon and his brother dying was so tragic, I loved how they both were good Targaryens with love match marriages. I love to hate how tragic ASOIAF is, the good die young and the weak and evil inherit the world
I am absolutely smashing through my data to ingest this 😂 if all goes as planned this time, will have internet by the weekend now 🙏🏽. Daemon is a thirst trap.
I feel like Nettles will probably remind Daemon of Laena, and serve as someone as a "She reminds me of my lost love" kinda romance. Especially, if Nettle happen to look similar to Laena in some way in the show. She's already from Driftmark.
@@arunakoyanbron8927 its speculated that daemon had an affair with nettles (im reading the books now). Mushrooms account says that and the other accounts say no because of the perceived dishonor of coupling with a common brown girl like nettles
@@GFarrsight That is what makes the book good. It’s up for interpretation. There are different accounts on what happened and anyone can essentially decide on what the “truth” is in their eyes.
Woohoo! Great video living up to the hype! So, so fun. Is it wrong that I hope the Daemon-Rhaenyra relationship is the most salacious possible situation?
Thanks for doing this and other content for this new series, LML! I'm really looking forward HoTD and love this new throne room 9:38 where the first 4 Targ Kings are on the columns overhead - the sets are gigantic +detailed. So far - Aegon I, The Conqueror, holds a Targ sigil shield; Maegor the Cruel has Blackfyre; can't tell what Aenys I has and Jaeharys I, The Conciliator, holds a book? I know it's just kooky fan stuff, but I can't wait to see it better when the show starts!!
Wow, awesome catch! I can barely see anything on my phone with crappy internet, but I'll be sure to pause on the TV at home (maybe on the second watch, so I don't drive my partner crazy) I was just so WOWed by the sets, didn't consider that these might be prior Targ kings 🔥🔥🔥
The foreshadowing in the latest Rhaenyra poster is amazing. Spoiler Alert - Syrax (who looks like Sunfyre in it) looms over her like it's going to devour her.
i’m kind of hoping they’ll cast someone with darker skin for nettles since she’s canonically black. the other characters have really light skin. it would also be nice if she were daemon’s daughter or they’re platonic. but the writing & acting of her character is what’s most important.
In terms of Nettles, I'm less inclined to believe that the "blood-stained leathers" line is in relation to sorcery. As someone who works with sheep, I can say that not only are they hard to control unless you "cast" them, but slitting one's throat would definitely cause a mess. However, Rhaenyra's line does give some sort of clue that Nettles may use magic. I guess we'll just have to see it in the show.
That was the impression I got too. Slaughtering is a messy business, especially when it's apparently the biggest sheep in the city. She definitely could still be using sorcery, but I'd hazard a guess at it being a little less Satanic Panic.
I think he was semi-grooming her, but they also had synergy with their personalities. If you take out the romantic parts, then they are a close uncle niece pair.
I don't really buy the Daemon-Alicent rumor. Alicent is the very opposite of the type of women Daemon likes. She's a rulefollower, she's a hightower - a house that has close ties with the maesters and the faith of the seven (and we know the maesters al least don't like Daemon, and it might very well be a mutual feeling). I just can't see Daemon taking a fancy to Alicent, unless he wanted to spite Otto, but even then it's unlikely rulefollower Alicent would've risked it.
From all the women Daemon has been with Laena was the best in my opinion. In the book there wasn’t much about her so I hope in the series their relationship will be focused on more
I just really enjoy seeing Matt act, not sure about all the sex scenes, lol. He’s quite a physical actor so I’m really more interested in all the bad ass stuff. I will absolutely not reference that scene in The Crown where you can see his *cough* back. That said, absolutely love this video, so much fun.
Thanks for all the work. You and your cousin should think about recording a smooth funkadelic version of Careless Whisper that meets youtube requirements.
Awesome video! As a Brown girl and because I forever and always accept the Velaryons as Black as canon (or its ASOIAF-equivalent terminology), I have to say Laena is for sure my favorite of Daemon’s ladies. I’m loving the actress they cast for her and I can’t wait to see her in action. Nettles is, of course, a close second. I wonder if they’ll cast an actress similar in appearance to Laena’s actress for Nettles. Maybe, in show canon at least, part of Daemon’s initial attraction to her would be that she reminds him of Laena. Almost a second chance for that kind of love they had. Just a thought. Either way, I’m so excited!
Right on! And depending on how many black people live on Driftmark - like is it just Corlys’s family? Or is there an enclave of Summer Islanders or black Essosi there? Because the fact Nettles is a dragonseed and has brown skin means that non white people are running around Driftmark, even in George’s canon. Curious how Driftmark will be developed in general; they said we are going to see it a lot. Anyway yeah I like the change, I mean how many pale people in pale wigs can we even keep track anyway
You mean the velaryons are black? Or I mean they are supposed to be black? Or Middle East? I don’t think they are supposed to be anything. Just people. I also want to point out that the reason that the velaryons in the book have pale skin and white eyes with pale purple eyes is to distinguish them from others they are supposed to have a more “ other worldly” look. That’s it. But I love the house of the dragon regardless.
@crassgop they were not black. It's just for inclusiveness for the sake of diversity. Corlys were just the same as Targaryens. They were pale with silver hair and violet eyes.
@@alext7500 nettles is brown implying shes mixed 100 percent. The others are decidely not black. The input about there being summer islanders and the like in driftmark makes some sense though. We know for a fact Summer islanders frequently appeared at court for various reasons but we can safely assume that them being a prominnet feature in westeros would have incited LOTS of gossip and intrigue and were deemed exotic for sure. One passage speaks on a targaryen girl who was known for being freaky and she mentions that she would even like to shag with a summer islander remarking on his dark skin. The fact it was talked about in context with taboo behavior heavily suggests that it was not common to see dark skinned people around westeros
@@GFarrsight oh yeah your arguments are just like arguments about Hermione Granger being black. "Rowling has never mentioned that Hermione was white! ". Same logic. Velaryons and Targaryens share that same features, they were white, pale, had silver hair and violet eyes. Nettles was mixed since her mom was a whore and no one knows who was her father. She could look Indian/Arabic/brown asian, but we all know hbo will make her black. Velaryons had marriages with Targaryens all the time, but Corlys is black, and his children look mixed. Why they couldn't cast mixed black for Corlys? Because HBO wanted to please black audience "look, we have all sorts of races! ". But asians will only play servants. Interesting logic. Same logic as in the Witcher only Herrald is white. Everyone else is black for no reason. In medieval Poland. " It's a fantasy world, characters could be any race! ". Oh yeah, then why everyone is black. Literally no asians. The only Asian I remember was a servant. Who died in few seconds. I'm not against characters being black for no reason. I just don't understand this diversity for the sake of diversity. If you make characters black, then why their children are not asians and white? It's a fantasy world, no logic in anything! Then children of Corlys could be asians or white. Why they casted black children with white wigs. I hope actors are good, that's it. Mermaid is black too. Everyone is black. Anna Boleyn the queen is black too. It's just imagination and interpretation. Yeah, I understand.
One comment I have on Mysaria and the dragon egg is that I have always seen it less as Daemon seeing beyond class and race--since he hated Rhea for her First Men blood--and more of him wanting to have another dragon-rider wholly loyal to him. If he has a dragon-riding child that makes him far more of a threat, especially since Viserys has no dragon and I don't think Rhaenyra had yet claimed Syrax. Similarly, I saw Viserys refusing to give Mysaria the egg as him trying to get ahead of Daemon's plan. The Targs have always had problems with dragon-riding women marrying out of the house and possibly bringing dragons to other houses.
I haven't read Fire & Blood and have only learned a bit of the backstory, but after watching the first episode I would've assumed it was his selfishness and pride over all else. He resents being told what to do, and as someone who has to fight to earn his power & influence, he doesn't look down on others who are ambitious, even if they are lowborn. His child with Mysaria may be a bastard, but it's his child too, and he's a Targaryen prince-- of course the baby deserves its own dragon! Daemon is on a very Machiavellian path, from what I see, and he took the egg because he felt he deserved it and he knew it wouldn't be given to him freely. Meanwhile, Viserys and the small council would take the care and keeping of dragons very seriously, for all the reasons you've stated, and they would be shocked and outraged at Daemon's bold entitlement. A totally natural collision course of ideas about who has access to dragons and why, and there are many parallel tales in real-world history (the Tudors & the Duke of Monmouth come to mind).
Loved thIs format. Funny, runtime long enough but still edited well. Lots of work for you, I know, but it pays off. I'm looking forward to the show but I have to admit, I'd have preferred it being just you in the after show streams - I'll still check them out though.
"These were probably the happiest moments of all of their lives." Great. Now I'm imagining Daemon hosting scandalous Byron-esque retreats, Villa Diodati style with Rhaenyra and the Velaryon siblings.
Oh hey welcome! I’ve been here for awhile actually but just getting some love from the RUclips algorithm lately and new folks are finding me. There’s quite the back catalog
I think Nettles is actually supposed to be one of Corlys' "bastard" children. Which makes the whole Daemon+Nettles=sexy time A LOT more palatable. And I truly think it just makes sense!! Of all his ladies, Laena seems like his one TRUE LOVE!! So, if Nettles is another daughter of Coryls....maybe he sees similar physical traits that first attracted him to Laena, and perhaps she has a similar attitude as Laena. Would make a lot of sense as to why Daemon seems to fall so hard for Nettles so quickly.
I like to think that Nettles was Daemon's daughter and that is why they were so close. Maybe she was his lover, but I think it's more likely that she was his baseborn daughter.
I would like to believe he didn’t betray Rhaenyra in the last days of their lives although I know they already had a open relationship with Mysera in it.
Thank you for another informative stream. Extremely entertainingly and the sheep added a few chuckles. My weird brain went to That'll do LML. That'll do.
Wow just found your channel loving it so far man. I love backstories like this it doesn't ruin the show for me. Because I've watched too many movies or shows that were based on books including Lord of the Rings. But this is intriguing I had no idea this was told from the point of view of several people so we truly don't know what they'll go with on the show. Well I subscribe to your channel because of your content is just amazing.
That man definitely has more kids than what’s stated in the text. I half suspect Addam and Alyn are his low key dude was chillin on Driftnark for awhile and Alyn acts exactly like Daemon. He even had the same maturation as Daemon in his older years. If you compare their character development from their youth to their old age there are striking similarities. 😂
@@rahmatmanurung8133 actually everything about them. He's a reckless idiot to the world but to her, he's different person. We have seen in the show she's challenging him, teasing him and telling him she's not afraid of him. They have this tendencies to always come back to each other not because they're family members but it's the understand between them. Daemon- Rhaenyra power couple that changes Targaryen history (their clan fulfilled Aegon's dream) . And his relationship with other ladies- IMO Myseria is his friends with benefits, he literally abandoned her when she was pregnant but never abandoned Rhaenyra actually he was the one who was with her from beginning to the end. Then Léana part- yes he kinda love her? Putting question mark bcz did he cheat on her. After her death he quickly married Rhaenyra and she gave birth Aegon 3 shortly. Everything happens so quickly 🙄 Was he sharing bed with Rhaenyra while his wife was pregnant?? Yes, he was sharing bed with Myseria too and Rhaenyra told him to do. If Daemon didn't die, Rhaenyra wouldn't died like this. Rhaenyra was his weakness and Daemon was her strength.
@@sumaiyatasnim2325 you couldn’t have said it any better. Incest aside but the dynamics of Daemon and Rhaenyra works well with each other. Had Viserys actually got them married without any bloodshed then so many lives could’ve been spared.
Daemon seems to prefer women of equal or greater intelligence and ferocity to his own. Definitely, he will be the heartthrob of the series.
that's a really good way to encapsulate it!
What do you think of Matt Smith as Daemon? Some like him. But some others dislike because he's supposed to be handsome? Not the book reader, but was he being described as "handsome" in the book?

Yeah I wish I had another week before the show. Maybe after season 1
Yeah totally!
Do tell. I’m interested in listening. Seems like she’s a heartthrob like her uncle x)

@@DavidLightbringer I want to ask some questions
Both Laena and Rhaenyra are Daemon's niece 🙄 that's interesting 😉😅
@@sumaiyatasnim2325 comes with being in that family
except nettles. i find her disgusting for some reason lol
The scene where he gives Rhaenyra the necklace was sizzling with chemistry! Which is weird because she is so young there but it is what it is
@@catherinelopezlopez4570 they are targaryens...we've been over this.

A reminder to people.... Actors can have chemistry without it being sexual 😂 I agree, they def did.
@@catherinelopezlopez4570 It’s not inmoral for Targaryens lol It was with Cersei and Jaime because they are Lannisters

Hahahaha

Laena is one of my absolute favorite characters and I’m so excited to see her. I mean, she rode Vhagar. She was a baddie.
I thought her mom rode vhagar

He‘s actually very acclaimed and famous
I loved him from Dr. Who... I was a little taken aback by this character for him.
His Doctor Who
He had already played this character kinda, on The Crown 👑 (Seasons one and two).
How do you not know who Matt Smith is!?!?
Do you live under a rock

One passage speaks on a targaryen girl who was known for being freaky and she mentions that she would even like to shag with a summer islander remarking on his dark skin. The fact it was talked about in context with taboo behavior heavily suggests that it was not common to see dark skinned people around westeros
@@GFarrsight oh yeah your arguments are just like arguments about Hermione Granger being black. "Rowling has never mentioned that Hermione was white! ". Same logic.
Velaryons and Targaryens share that same features, they were white, pale, had silver hair and violet eyes. Nettles was mixed since her mom was a whore and no one knows who was her father. She could look Indian/Arabic/brown asian, but we all know hbo will make her black.
Velaryons had marriages with Targaryens all the time, but Corlys is black, and his children look mixed. Why they couldn't cast mixed black for Corlys? Because HBO wanted to please black audience "look, we have all sorts of races! ". But asians will only play servants. Interesting logic.
Same logic as in the Witcher only Herrald is white. Everyone else is black for no reason. In medieval Poland. " It's a fantasy world, characters could be any race! ". Oh yeah, then why everyone is black. Literally no asians. The only Asian I remember was a servant. Who died in few seconds. I'm not against characters being black for no reason. I just don't understand this diversity for the sake of diversity. If you make characters black, then why their children are not asians and white? It's a fantasy world, no logic in anything! Then children of Corlys could be asians or white. Why they casted black children with white wigs. I hope actors are good, that's it. Mermaid is black too. Everyone is black. Anna Boleyn the queen is black too. It's just imagination and interpretation. Yeah, I understand.
It's odd how Matt Smith has played a prince consort twice now, what with The Crown.
He has a thing for Queens. Lol
Thats it!!!! I was trying to picture the face!!!
Thankyou!!!
Knew it was from something i had watched!,couldnt put my finger in it!! Lol
Been waiting for this all day
Worth the wait. Excellent content.
Ugh I want it now!🥺Rewatching GOT just because and I've realized Daenerys growth as character was amazing then they shat all over it!😭
Another cracking video! LML you are without doubt the best ASOIAF YT’r out there. Killing it with House of the D content. Love all of it ☺️
Thank you Callum, means a lot!!
One comment I have on Mysaria and the dragon egg is that I have always seen it less as Daemon seeing beyond class and race--since he hated Rhea for her First Men blood--and more of him wanting to have another dragon-rider wholly loyal to him. If he has a dragon-riding child that makes him far more of a threat, especially since Viserys has no dragon and I don't think Rhaenyra had yet claimed Syrax. Similarly, I saw Viserys refusing to give Mysaria the egg as him trying to get ahead of Daemon's plan. The Targs have always had problems with dragon-riding women marrying out of the house and possibly bringing dragons to other houses.
That’s definitely a valid interpretation
Ohhh that makes sense. Giving away dragon riders would explain the in_cest
I haven't read Fire & Blood and have only learned a bit of the backstory, but after watching the first episode I would've assumed it was his selfishness and pride over all else. He resents being told what to do, and as someone who has to fight to earn his power & influence, he doesn't look down on others who are ambitious, even if they are lowborn. His child with Mysaria may be a bastard, but it's his child too, and he's a Targaryen prince-- of course the baby deserves its own dragon! Daemon is on a very Machiavellian path, from what I see, and he took the egg because he felt he deserved it and he knew it wouldn't be given to him freely. Meanwhile, Viserys and the small council would take the care and keeping of dragons very seriously, for all the reasons you've stated, and they would be shocked and outraged at Daemon's bold entitlement. A totally natural collision course of ideas about who has access to dragons and why, and there are many parallel tales in real-world history (the Tudors & the Duke of Monmouth come to mind).
I like the idea that Nettles is his bastard, cause it will make it more intresting to the Daemon's storyline and overall story!
Shoutout from leaf land. Stoked to make the livestream!

I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you! Subbed
Great video!
Been so looking forward to this one! Thankyou lml!
Loved thIs format. Funny, runtime long enough but still edited well. Lots of work for you, I know, but it pays off. I'm looking forward to the show but I have to admit, I'd have preferred it being just you in the after show streams - I'll still check them out though.
The art work is amazn on your posts.!!!
Thank you
You should do one on Rhaenyra's Men!
She does have a type too!
Yay! I got really hyped for this one
"These were probably the happiest moments of all of their lives."
Great. Now I'm imagining Daemon hosting scandalous Byron-esque retreats, Villa Diodati style with Rhaenyra and the Velaryon siblings.
Omg where has this channel been?? Wooo!! New subscriber oh yeah
Oh hey welcome! I’ve been here for awhile actually but just getting some love from the RUclips algorithm lately and new folks are finding me. There’s quite the back catalog
@@DavidLightbringer im binge watching! You seriously a thirst trap so im here for it!🤣
keep em coming!!! great stuff.
I enjoy you. I have subscribed
I think Nettles is actually supposed to be one of Corlys' "bastard" children. Which makes the whole Daemon+Nettles=sexy time A LOT more palatable. And I truly think it just makes sense!! Of all his ladies, Laena seems like his one TRUE LOVE!! So, if Nettles is another daughter of Coryls....maybe he sees similar physical traits that first attracted him to Laena, and perhaps she has a similar attitude as Laena. Would make a lot of sense as to why Daemon seems to fall so hard for Nettles so quickly.
Hmmm yeah makes sense actually. She’s from Driftmark. I’ll keep an eye on it
"one true love" 🤣👏 okay that was funny 🤣
I like to think that Nettles was Daemon's daughter and that is why they were so close. Maybe she was his lover, but I think it's more likely that she was his baseborn daughter.
They didn't sleep together?
@@ChiefJeyEf it's not really confirmed. Everything has an unreliable narrator so who knows?
@@biochroma They kept it open-ended like? To be open for interpretation?
I would like to believe he didn’t betray Rhaenyra in the last days of their lives although I know they already had a open relationship with Mysera in it.
Demon Targaryen rules thanks David Lightbanger! Maybe in future he can meet Kelly C! (Dany)
The sheep in the background are killing me😆☠️
Thank you for another informative stream. Extremely entertainingly and the sheep added a few chuckles. My weird brain went to That'll do LML. That'll do.
Hahaha yessss
Maester Boss Nass -- "It wasn't an accident!" *Shakes head as spit flies everywhere*
Fun to see how these videos age. I definitely felt the same about daemon until last week 😂
Great video as always!
Very entertaining and informative video! Thank you ☺️
Great video mate
I love this channel
Otto and his daughter are really giving Polonius and Ophelia vibes.
Thomas Boleyn and Anne Boleyn vibes as well...
Has Daemon "Made The Eight"? Surely he must have.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow just found your channel loving it so far man. I love backstories like this it doesn't ruin the show for me. Because I've watched too many movies or shows that were based on books including Lord of the Rings. But this is intriguing I had no idea this was told from the point of view of several people so we truly don't know what they'll go with on the show. Well I subscribe to your channel because of your content is just amazing.
So, essentially, Daemon would have screwed his own grandma if she looked good and rode a dragon...
And was younger than him
Daemon the ladies man of the show, this dude got a shopping list of women and its only season 1 😭
That man definitely has more kids than what’s stated in the text. I half suspect Addam and Alyn are his low key dude was chillin on Driftnark for awhile and Alyn acts exactly like Daemon. He even had the same maturation as Daemon in his older years. If you compare their character development from their youth to their old age there are striking similarities. 😂
Dude’s basically Targaryen Airlines; everybody’s taken a ride
**snort**
It is not controversial. It's the targaryen's. It is what they do
I will always ship him with Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Yeah I spent the most time on her
Just want to know why do you like him paired with Rhaenyra? The bond or anything else?
@@rahmatmanurung8133 actually everything about them. He's a reckless idiot to the world but to her, he's different person. We have seen in the show she's challenging him, teasing him and telling him she's not afraid of him. They have this tendencies to always come back to each other not because they're family members but it's the understand between them. Daemon- Rhaenyra power couple that changes Targaryen history (their clan fulfilled Aegon's dream) . And his relationship with other ladies- IMO Myseria is his friends with benefits, he literally abandoned her when she was pregnant but never abandoned Rhaenyra actually he was the one who was with her from beginning to the end. Then Léana part- yes he kinda love her? Putting question mark bcz did he cheat on her. After her death he quickly married Rhaenyra and she gave birth Aegon 3 shortly. Everything happens so quickly 🙄 Was he sharing bed with Rhaenyra while his wife was pregnant?? Yes, he was sharing bed with Myseria too and Rhaenyra told him to do. If Daemon didn't die, Rhaenyra wouldn't died like this. Rhaenyra was his weakness and Daemon was her strength.
@@sumaiyatasnim2325 you couldn’t have said it any better. Incest aside but the dynamics of Daemon and Rhaenyra works well with each other. Had Viserys actually got them married without any bloodshed then so many lives could’ve been spared.
So will I
That's why I kinda won't actively watch the show. I am scared that they will ruin it 😢
Mushroom rumors? Mushroomor's?
Criston Cole is the heartthrob cause as the fans have shown...they love an underdog/outcast
