@@daniellemusella1594 Ewan has anything but a babyface.... Are you thinking of the Aegon actor? Hes older than the Aemond actor and looks a decade younger.

Aegon's actor looks like such a nice person when not in character, that laugh was adorable. And i loved Ewan in the last kingdom but god was he born to play Aemond! the whole cast of this show is brilliant, i have not seen such perfect casting choices in a long time!

Yeah I’ve went back and forth from green to black and back and forth again throughout the season, the writing’s been so good. Team Black is more relatable and likable so we gravitate more towards them but all Alicent has been doing is holding up a mirror to the truth that EVERYONE wants to deny. She might turn into a “Cersei” in future seasons, but she wasn’t Cersei in this one. And even if I was going to be team Black, Aemond is such a cool and interesting character that he’s my favorite.
@@hitchcockisthegoat I have been team black for a number of years now after reading Fire and Blood. Alicent will never be a new Cersei, she is not without her faults but she has a kind heart. I have always had a soft spot for the wielders of Dark Sister, Visenya, Bloodraven, and the one and only Deamon. He was my after Bloodraven my favorite from the Targaryen bloodline, but after the show, I think he was gone past Bloodraven in my view.
@@Ater_Swe daemon can't out weight the rest of the awful on team blacks, so 🤷🏻♀️ green for me. Plus, I simply can't STAND his wife. Am I _supposed_ to be liking her...??
@@andrewforte3852 isn't his name Daeron? And yes, they made him more likable thankfully, i remember hating Aemond when i was reading the books. Same for Alicent, i feel more torn between the blacks/greens now
The fact that we don't have nothing from Ewan outside the behind the scenes of HOD, I mean from his life outside the series, makes these few moments of him, talking and smiling so precious. It's a total different feeling see him talking. 😍
Can’t tell if Ewan is just a little shy during these bts or if he’s applied some method acting to the role but regardless he has been flawless as Aemond
i mean he's a very reserved person. we barely know anything about him besides the roles he's played and i think he's just quite introverted in general (in my opinion of course). he seems more like a laid back guy who prefers to keep to himself outside of his roles
@@jamescpalmer He played an entirely different sort of character for years on The Last Kingdom, IMO his work on that show is likely far closer to the man himself - soft spoken, shy, unassuming. He was also a younger actor then, less skilled. The lighting & camera work on The Last Kingdom was much more naturalistic as well. On HOTD I notice Ewan is intentionally working his "angles" as models often do, holding his head & face in ways that transform his look on camera greatly. The difference between Aemond's appearance & the actor's in the behind the scenes footsge is wild. He's altered his physique, posture, voice, even the phrasing of his speech with his portrayal of Aemond; just astonishing physical mastery. Especially considering he's only using 1 eye.
@@xajaso Ah I haven't watched the last Kingdom yet, I've read all the books though, one of the best series ever written. I'm dubious the show could come close to the works so I haven't bothered watching. Which character did he play?
Evan mitchell is such a good cast for this one, no offense to his look, but he has the perfect evil smile, and scheming face for when can he kill his enemies. It's really perfect.
Also in The Last Kingdom, he played a lovable warrior priest who was a bit socially awkward. A great character who I was genuinely gutted at when he got killed.
Just imagine Ewan Mitchell typing his name on RUclips. He would be hella shocked to see what we all have been doing. From his snarky dialogues to his power walks to his hands, God I have seen so many compilations. He must be have a big smirk on his face thinking how crazy we all are after him. And this no social media thing is literally adding fuel to our curiosity and intrigue.
Ewan portrayal of Aemond reminds me of Stephen Dillane portrayal of Stannis, he fits so much into that role, you can feel he is Aemond just like you had with Stannis
@Lala Emm To be honest, the showrunners got Stannis doing oit of character things and teleporting around so often, than the guy just get lost amd had to ask Liam wtf was going on.
@@jamie_d0g978yeah they ruined stannis if you look at what they said about the magical elements of game of thrones just goes to show that they ruined it because they were lazy and didn’t want to dive into the mystical and magical aspects that make up nearly every character expect for Jamie Cersei and others but mostly dany, Jon, bran and stannis have those big aspects and they just ruined it
Good thing is he seems to keep on moving up! I first knew him as Osbert from The Last Kingdom (a wholesome momk) so it was fun to see him be a badass prince here
Ewan has a fantastic palpable presence. As soon as I saw him on screen I knew they nailed the casting of Aemond. That smirk is perfection. Truly not a miscast person in this show. Eve Best as Rhaenys and Steve Toussaint as Corlys are also standouts to me. Never thought too much about the characters from the books but Eve came on screen looking like true royalty and Steve looked like a majestic veteran sea captain before his first line. I was actually doubting Matt Smith as Daemon before episode one - in my head Matt was going to be too cheeky-cute and lovable to play a brutal snakey bastard like Daemon - but obviously my fears were misguided. Emma and Olivia are amazing scene stealers with the way they can portray so much emotion and tension in their faces, gestures and tone. And Paddy Considine, good god, he turned Viserys from a bumbling inept king into a truly tragic figure. I'm sad that there will be such a long wait for season two and I hope the quality of the show stays at this high level.
I've got the biggest mancrush on Ewan Mitchell, what a BAMF. As a person, and the character he plays. Dude's committed to the role man, big props to him
SAY HIS NAMEEEEEEE : EWANNNNNNN MITCHEEEEEEEEELLLLLL EVERYBODY !!!!! Incredible talent loved him since Last KIngdom but now the sky is the limit for this impressive bloke ! He gonna go places !!!
I do think he was spot on, but his Aemond has been "less outrageous" and "dialed down" compared to book Aemond at this point tbh. Also, more nuanced. It's the writing for sure. He's significantly "less charming" in the book, which I gotta say, I actually was thoroughly entertained by that.
Kudos to the team!!! HAHAHA the sibling fight scene of Ewan and Tom represent us all fighting our sib. 😁 How adoring it is to see Ewan have an interview at the same time he's being shy. 🤣 Their actors truly complement each other .
The fight got criticized for having "too many cuts". I would have said "no" had it not been for people actually counting the cuts we saw, and yes, they were A LOT. I think some people had a hard time following it because of that.
@@samf.s.7731 Well, how? Sure lots of cuts but, it was overall an easy conflict to follow, if the viewer knows why Aegon is being pursued But yeah, less cuts would be nice overall, as is the case most of the time
The acting of ewan in the last scene the mix emotion regret.. guilt.. sadness of what happen to his cousin… at the same time shock face , amazing acting in a short clips👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was a heartbreaking scene because Viserys, a person who was a really great guy that wasn’t fit to be a king (and he knew it) finally felt like he did something right in his life. It’s sad to think that before he even made it to his bed his family were back at each other’s throats. Ironically, although he was a child, it was Jace who triggered all the fighting and as we know he soon pays a price for that
Aymond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) is real ice, just as hard and eerily cold. So much so that his piercing coldness and indifference can be seen in the depths of violet pupils. Only the person chosen by him can melt the ice and fill the void in his black, like Vhagar, heart.
this show was near perfect, I think it saved the (live action part of) the franchise, in many people's eyes. The writing, acting, sets, camerawork, effects, directing, editing,... all done with passion. Beautiful to come see to life, true art.
I can consoom this Ewan Mitchell guy whole day. Some people are really charismatic - This guy, Tywin, Tommy Shelby, Oswald Moseley from Peaky Blinders to name a few.
Ewan Mitchell as Aemond one eye is perfect. When I first heard he was playing Aemond I was like “Osferth as Aemond? No no no thats not going to work” and I thought the exact same about Matt Smith as Deamon but when I saw Ewan play Aemond he was perfect. Matt Smith is really good as Deamon but I don’t think he’s as good a fit as Deamon as Ewan is as Aemond because Matt doesn’t look like the description or artwork we get for prince Deamon in fire and blood but thats just trifles. Nit picking. One character I love is Rhys Ifans as the slimey self serving Otto Hightower. Rhys ifans is or atleast was famous as a lovable hell raising joker so seeing him play the exact opposite of what he really is is pretty cool. Over all I really enjoyed the show but I’m a HUGE asiof fan so thats not suprising
HotD did a perfect job casting Ewan Mitchell as Aemond. Man deserves an Oscar for his superb acting. Every time I watch an episode I'm waiting for his scenes. *Epic*
Such dedication from Ewan Mitchell, letting the showrunners poke his eye out for the role.
😭 his sacrifice will never be forgotten
He got a spit from Tom too.
Wait until you see his and Daemon's scene
A fair trade, he lost one eye but became a legend.
Even allowed them to put sapphire in it
Tom and Ewan are absolutely adorable. I love how Tom is a full extrovert and is explaining the hand biting scene while Ewan is being an absolute cinnamon bun and is like "Yeah. I'm in".

I was actually doubting Matt Smith as Daemon before episode one - in my head Matt was going to be too cheeky-cute and lovable to play a brutal snakey bastard like Daemon - but obviously my fears were misguided. Emma and Olivia are amazing scene stealers with the way they can portray so much emotion and tension in their faces, gestures and tone. And Paddy Considine, good god, he turned Viserys from a bumbling inept king into a truly tragic figure. I'm sad that there will be such a long wait for season two and I hope the quality of the show stays at this high level.
5:48 Ewan and Matt’s handshake 🥹
Elliot is so cute and Tom is funny ✨
5:49 aemond's life has been fulfilled, my dudes.
Soon he will need two patches
@@legsusmaximus6854 Holy sh*t! 😂
Hate it when people try to spoil when not having been asked to. Like 2 comments above.
@@Quamrael well u r the party pooper here buddy
@@legsusmaximus6854 he wont since the sword went through the sapphire
1:24 AWHHHH HE STARTED PLAYING WITH HER HAIR 😭
Is that Ewan playing with his cape? 2:06 Silly boy 🤗
The one twirling around? Yes.
I’d play with mg cape too xd Ewan is a mood
He clearly loves his job, the good natured smile on his face while being hosed down for the CGI dragon fight says it all, good for him.
Ewan is having it right as Aemond. Great character, great actor.
Anyone who has seen the Last Kingdom knows how much range he has. He plays a character completely opposite to Aemond in it.
Look how the little monk has grown.
Uthred must be proud.
Sure
Ewan Mitchell was fantastic in The Last Kingdom, I am so glad he got to play Aemond. Perfect casting.
I've got the biggest mancrush on Ewan Mitchell, what a BAMF. As a person, and the character he plays. Dude's committed to the role man, big props to him
omg, ewan's voice is my pure pleasure. I would do whatever that voice tells me.
The cinematography is next level in this show
They brought the ASOIAF series back to life 🙌
All respect to them
💯
SAY HIS NAMEEEEEEE : EWANNNNNNN MITCHEEEEEEEEELLLLLL EVERYBODY !!!!! Incredible talent loved him since Last KIngdom but now the sky is the limit for this impressive bloke ! He gonna go places !!!
Casting for Aemond role was PERFECT
Love seeing the baby monk getting the love and recognition he deserves 😌
Ewan is exactly how I imagined aemond. Perfect casting from hbo like always
I do think he was spot on, but his Aemond has been "less outrageous" and "dialed down" compared to book Aemond at this point tbh. Also, more nuanced.
It's the writing for sure.
He's significantly "less charming" in the book, which I gotta say, I actually was thoroughly entertained by that.
Bro Idk why but I feel like Ewan Mitchell would play a really good ww2 German officer
ewan mitchell i love you so so much
Ewan steals every scene he in for me
Kudos to the team!!! HAHAHA the sibling fight scene of Ewan and Tom represent us all fighting our sib. 😁 How adoring it is to see Ewan have an interview at the same time he's being shy. 🤣 Their actors truly complement each other .
Siblings be Wilding 😅
The fight got criticized for having "too many cuts".
I would have said "no" had it not been for people actually counting the cuts we saw, and yes, they were A LOT.
I think some people had a hard time following it because of that.
@@samf.s.7731
Well, how? Sure lots of cuts but, it was overall an easy conflict to follow, if the viewer knows why Aegon is being pursued
But yeah, less cuts would be nice overall, as is the case most of the time
Omg the views everybody loves Ewan 💕💘💓💞💗💖
Baby Monk!!!!! You’re all grown up 😢
Ok but Tom, he has the most precious smile and laugh!
Aemond and Daemon that shot🔥
The last part right? So cool!
Ewan's character looks so non-threatening in The Last Kingdom, so it's awesome to see him do a role reversal here.
Aemond is my favorite character now
The acting of ewan in the last scene the mix emotion regret.. guilt.. sadness of what happen to his cousin… at the same time shock face , amazing acting in a short clips👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
5:38 Elliot is so sweet and enthusiastic 😭💗
5:47 deadly alliance
Love this!
no one will be able to stop these two if they banded together
Ya
i will support you forever little monk
Matt Smith and Ewan Mitchell sharing a hifi is the coolest thing ever
And I love Elliot Grihault
The Daemon and Aemond handshake at 5:48 ❤️
This was a heartbreaking scene because Viserys, a person who was a really great guy that wasn’t fit to be a king (and he knew it) finally felt like he did something right in his life.
It’s sad to think that before he even made it to his bed his family were back at each other’s throats.
Ironically, although he was a child, it was Jace who triggered all the fighting and as we know he soon pays a price for that
Ewan is such a sweet, shy guy. Tom seems the sporty one.
I love Aemond he's my favorite character by far
Aymond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) is real ice, just as hard and eerily cold. So much so that his piercing coldness and indifference can be seen in the depths of violet pupils. Only the person chosen by him can melt the ice and fill the void in his black, like Vhagar, heart.
Delighted for Ewan, he was great in last kingdom
this show was near perfect, I think it saved the (live action part of) the franchise, in many people's eyes. The writing, acting, sets, camerawork, effects, directing, editing,... all done with passion. Beautiful to come see to life, true art.
Damn right, they had a couple of hiccups but it's easily the best thing om TV right now and an amazing show overall
I've been a GOT fan for two decades and I completely agree with you. Its better than the GOT series, dare I say..
strikes a fantastic presence on camera..great actor.
He is absolutely something else, I adore him.
Aemond casting is perfect. His face and demeanor is perfect.
My head says Black, but my heart says Green :')
Aemond is a god damn beast :D
Ewan is really impressive playing that Aemond character✨
I can consoom this Ewan Mitchell guy whole day. Some people are really charismatic - This guy, Tywin, Tommy Shelby, Oswald Moseley from Peaky Blinders to name a few.
I love that actor Ewan Mitchell, he is amazing. He was also great in The Last Kingdom.
My favorite Targaryen
My guy Ewan Mitchell going from The Last Kingdom accompanying Uhtred of Bebbenburg to Aemond in House of Dragons!
5:47 🐉🤝🏻🐉
IF they ever make a live action Final Fantasy 7 movie. They should cast Ewan Mitchell as Sephiroth lol dude would be perfect for it
Ewan is the only one that looks like a Targaryen.
Loved Ewan Mitchell as Osferth in The Last Kingdom.
Yes, he was amazing. He was as likable in TLK as he is hateable in HoD.
@@littlesebastian4389 i dont hate him ahahahahaha im team black but his character is so cool, kinda like jaime was in got
@@joaofigueiredo1756 Team black have the evil dragons.
@@PrototypeFreak89 ahahahahahaha i might change to team green but imma stay in team black for now
@@joaofigueiredo1756 Team green needs more dragons cause its an unfair fight.
Even behind scenes...Aemond is dead serious!😂😂😂😂😂
Ewan looks like so soft and lovely.
A caramel.
☺️😊😌😌✨
I love this man
I'm still can't get over that the Baby Monk is now the badass Aemond Targaryen 🤯
Ewan is amazing 👏
Funny seeing him go from osferth the innocent warrior priest to the kinslayer himself
Ewan Mitchell as Aemond one eye is perfect. When I first heard he was playing Aemond I was like “Osferth as Aemond? No no no thats not going to work” and I thought the exact same about Matt Smith as Deamon but when I saw Ewan play Aemond he was perfect. Matt Smith is really good as Deamon but I don’t think he’s as good a fit as Deamon as Ewan is as Aemond because Matt doesn’t look like the description or artwork we get for prince Deamon in fire and blood but thats just trifles. Nit picking.
One character I love is Rhys Ifans as the slimey self serving Otto Hightower. Rhys ifans is or atleast was famous as a lovable hell raising joker so seeing him play the exact opposite of what he really is is pretty cool.
Over all I really enjoyed the show but I’m a HUGE asiof fan so thats not suprising
Last time I saw people this thirsty for someone was when the Avengers came out and people loved Loki
HotD did a perfect job casting Ewan Mitchell as Aemond. Man deserves an Oscar for his superb acting. Every time I watch an episode I'm waiting for his scenes. *Epic*
He has the perfect creepy smile I LOVE IT i think aemond is my favecharacter
