Well the part you said, 'viserys told them not to engage and they went anyways, now they are getting Fucked up', well I don't agree with them listening to viserys any longer, corlys was the only one suffering, if he were to allow the crab feeder, who would regard corlys when he becomes broke.
And also if you watch emergency awesome, you would see that valeyrian steel is abviously stronger, it slices easily, so couple that with the adrenaline running through Damon
The Mad King is Aerys II. You’ll learn more about Aegon during this series. Also, yes, as you learned, Daemon was considered one of the greatest fighters alive and most experienced.
"Fire doesn´t hurt them" Yes it does. The show tricked people into believing Targaryens are immune to fire (thanks David and Dan) when they really only have above normal heat resistance . Like when Dany steps into the scalding hot bath and the maid panics. Or when she picks up a dragon egg from over the fire with her bare hands and they´re unburned. Daenerys was immune to fire exactly one time and it came as a bonus with using a blood sacrifice to give birth to her dragons. But Dumb & Dumber just ran with it and made her permanetly immune to fire. I
Oh shut up with that D&D hate. Jon Snow burned his hand in season 1, so no Targaryen's are not immune to fire. Plus Viserys had melted gold on his head.
@@chabweezy9905 Yet Jon still has Targaryen blood. And Dany says " fire can not kill a dragon" after Viserys is killed. Boiling water isnt fire yet Dany is immune.
03:39 Targaryens aren't fully immune to fire, they just have better tolerance than other people. Daenerys surviving in season 1 was a magical event, as said by the author George R R Martin, due to the ritual/sacrifice she performed to hatch the 3 eggs, she had a dream before that & knew what to do. That thing in season 6 when she walked out of fire alive again is something GOT show runners pulled out of their bubbles.
i dont even think they have better tolerance, it was just Daenerys who did in particular. Remember in season 1 got when Viserys says 'ow' cause of the wax in that bath tub scene
@@den5633 Other Targaryens have some tolerance to heat too, maybe not all but it's not just a one person thing. And that "ow" you speak of - Viserys didn't actually look bothered by the wax, but it's still just a show only scene. Having some tolerance & being resistant are 2 different things & no Targaryen is resistant to fire, that's what I meant
@@den5633 when khal drogo killed her brother with melted gold Khalessi let it happen not knowing if it would kill him and when it did she looked at him and said "he was no dragon, fire cannot kill a dragon."
Seasmoke blends in with the clouds/smoke and is basically soundless when attacking from the sky which is one of its “abilities” so thats why the Crab Feeder didn’t hear it while looking for Caraxes.
It's suspected that Targaryens and their dragons share a mental bond. That would explain why caraxes reacted as if in pain when Daemon was hit by the arrow. He felt that.
Either that or just angry that his partner was wounded. It's not really clear if they are connected or just that intelligent. I'm very interested about how the dragons know where and what to do, it's not like the riders can treat them as horses
@@Ziaotic That's true, GRRM has stated multiple times that the older dragons are considered to be far more intelligent than the humans in these series.
The rider and the dragon are blood bonded at birth. The Targaryens had their blood bonded to dragons using blood magic so only those with Targaryen blood can ride dragons. So the incestuous marriages are to share that ability between Valarians. For example, the Valeryons are a minor house so no one in their main family can ride dragons. Colys marries Rhanys and has the two kids that have Targaryen blood through Rhanys so they can ride dragons.
Also the scene with viserys and the stag. They're holding it still for him, they hand him the spear, they show him exactly where to hit and then they wait to clap. It shows how he is pushed by everyone and has no agency of his own.
it makes sense that the crab feeder got offscreened when you consider that he's half blind, basically rotting away, and seems to never does any fighting himself - he just commands from the shadows. Compare that with Daemon who's armed with a super sword and who was doing too much even BEFORE a 3 year war... I'd bet it took one swipe.
It’s also a way the show is referencing a major point that was driven in during the first lines of dialogue in the show. The only thing that’s a threat to the Targaryens are the Targaryens. This crabfeeder is so inconsequential that his death was guaranteed the second Daemon had a clear path to him
The reason why they wasn't able to detect the dragon Seasmoke is because the dragon is very stealthy. Plus having a grey skin tone helped Seasmoke to hide on to the mist.
I love how the scene with the Hart mirrored the scene in the pilot episode where King Viserys's wife died in a similar manner. Both being held down, scared, screaming and sliced open. Something Viserys was obligated to do for the sake traditions.
so you guys dont get confused: there are multiple aegon targaryen in the game of thrones universe, aegon targaryen (the first) conquered westeros with his dragon balerion the black dread (u can see its skull multiple times in the series) and all of his descendants ruled westeros after him (until aerys the mad king was killed by jaime lannister), targaryen like to name their kids aegon in honor of aegon the conqueror, even jon snows real name is aegon
Aegon the Conqueror Aegon the Elder (this child) Aegon the Younger/Dragonbane Aegon the Unworthy Aegon the Unlikely (Egg) Aegon (Rhaegar's son) I don't count Jon Snow as Aegon since it is show-only.
@@scientia.veritas actually Jon being aegon is Canon in the books George tested d&d and asked them to guess Jon's true paratige and they got it right so Jon being aegon isn't a show only thing it's just confirmed in the show.
@@thatoneblackdude3333 Whats confusing for most people who watch the show but dont read the books (myself included) is that jon’s dad had another son before jon and guess what his name was?? AEGON FKN TARGARYEN lmaooo. If i were to guess in the books jon snow will 100% be revealed to be a targaryen, but i think it was the show writers that gave him that name
@@MichealJ23 yea that's the big twist that theres already a character in the books called aegon who isn't Jon as well as rheagar already calling one of his sins aegon before that but we'll there has been more then 1 aegon running around at the same time So it's not completely unlikely.
yeah good catch with Daemon and Rhaenyra, most people assume Rhaenyra's rebellious character is based on Arya and Daenerys but she's really supposed to be like Daemon. They're both extremely similar characters who don't tend to get along with others very well which is why they care for each other as much as they do even with all the bullshittery Daemon pulls.
the crabfeeder character was just like a stepping stone for daemon, he was just there to highlight his strength, and his personality and how he can actually even play the suicidal role to win. as for the dragon (seasmoke) it was laenor who was riding it, they used it bcz it looked like it could camouflage with the sky..
So at 5:44 you guys were talking about if Aegon was the Mad King, he's not. This Aegon is Aegon II and he was born well over 130 years before Aerys II was born. I was curious after you guys were taking about it and honestly these Targaryen names are a fucking headache to understand sometimes.
Yeah I remember having to re-read entire pages to understand which goddamn Jaime they were talking about. Seriously, why the hell have five dudes with the same name as one of your protagonists? Lmao
Targaryans aren't immune to fire, that was just GoT explaning stuff poorly. Dany survived her fire because it was a magical event, the rebirth of dragons. Targs are just normal humans for the most part, they can burn
In got Danny was immune, they just put her immune, because it happened as well when she killed the dothrakis. But still was just her. In the books targerys aren`t. And in this serie they aren`t neither
@@orbboom6119 Nah GoT magic system is mostly obscure and ancient stuff. Having a full family of people unconditionally immune to fire would be a little too much. But then again, there are freaking dragons everywhere so whatever lmao
Daemon didn't say a word from getting the missive from Viserys, to the whole time in the boat, the surrender, and the whole one man army moment. Matt Smith with the God Tier acting. Love it man
Dragons and their riders have like a spiritual connection so when Daemon got pierced by the arrow in the beginning, his dragon felt it too which is why it cried out in pain.
Lmao Lupa's joke around 14:45 about the spear being a mop is actually not far off, one of the functions of tassels on the end of spears like this was to absorb blood that would otherwise flow down the shaft.
Crab feeder wouldn't have been much of a fight for someone like Daemon. It looked like the Crab feeder had Greyscale so he was most likely slowed by that as well. In the end, it seemed the Crab feeder was a great tactician, but maybe not a great fighter?
Viserys listened to Alicent with making Rhaenyra believe that she is picking her own spouse. Viserys is taking what Lord Strong said into consideration by pairing Rhaenyra with Laenor for advantage. Also betrothals just mean they're set to marry and it'll happen at a later date. In the Joseon dynasty in Korea, the monarchs would be married at like... 8 or 9 years old and don't consummate it until they're old enough.
sheera's remark reminded me that Rhaenrya and Daemon both earned their kills with blood and work, while the viserys king was all clean and had the deer handed to him for the 'hunt'.
The director of this episode said that Rheanyra, Viserys and Daemon emerge out of episode 3 reborn with new perspective on who they are and what their purpose is. Well we just saw Daemon hear that help is coming and he can finally take a breather, but instead he rows out on his own, feigns surrender, and like a coiled snake he strikes cutting down 16 MEN all on his own like he’s playing Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor or Devil May Cry 5, gets saved by his army, and then kills the Crab Feeder and drags his corpse out showing off his new trophy! Daemon just leveled up to Legendary Badass level with that scene alone. As for Rheanyra and Viserys, I love the paths they are taking. Viserys just wants to be a good king and a loving father but he’s still struggling with traditions. While Rheanyra has those beautiful heart to heart moments with Criston Cole, and even though there is some chemistry you can see it’s not romantic, just 2 people being completely honest with each other. Plus the way she walks into camp covered in the blood of her kill 🔥🔥 those men weren’t looking at her as a prize but as a badass princess they would happily kneel to.
@@miketrujillo3677 i think the targaryen dragons were trained and taught how to fight, what to attack, maybe recognize things that can hurt them? She only had very young dragons that never saw anything that could fight back, they spent most of their time locked up
Its nuts how much goodwill HOTD earned back for the GOT franchise as a whole considering the nightmarish uphill battle they had to face given the disastrous season finale. Awesome to see a comeback like this
I think the main reason is because there aren't any other shows that combine all the elements of GoT - lore, scale, intrigue, battle scenes, some magic, violence, characters arent guaranteed to survive, etc. There's shows and movies that have some elements of this but not all of them combined
the only thing i can’t understand from everyone saying it in the comments. daenerys didn’t burn in the episode with dothraki leaders. you recall? then why? why didn’t she burn?
No one notice Viserys has lost two fingers. From getting cuts on the throne to trying to save the blacken finger with maggots and now losing two fingers. He is falling apart on the throne mentally and physically.
My brothers went to the same Secondary School as Matt Smith. They used to play football with him. I still see the 11th Doctor when I see him but goddamn he is destroying this role. He deserves more recognition.
That boy Daemon is the black af1 energy of the seven kingdoms, mans said hold my ale...leeerroooyyyy jennkkkinnsss...first of his name... and snagged a W.
At the end of the day the Crab Feeder was just one of the douchebags that appears in Westeros every once in a while to make other's lives misserable just because "fuck it, why not" lol
Viserys killed the brown stag because it's the end of Aegon II's bloodline and Rhaenyra didn't kill the white stag because her bloodline will continue until we meet Daenerys Targaryen 172 years after and the white stag came to Rhaenyra because it's a sign of royalty either say that she is the true heir to the Iron Throne and not Aegon II.
Reigns of castemere are fairly new in the westeorsi playlist, it was made after Tywin wiped out a hous in his earlier years so in this time it did not exist
This is why you guys are one of my favorite reactors. Not a lot of people caught the part that Daemon used himself as a bait as part of their plan. It was Laenor's plan to used him to draw out the crabmen out of their caves. Daemon didn't just suddenly went there after he received the letter. AND YES. He is PETTY LMAO. Remember, Daemon decided to ally with Corlys to fight in Stepstones to prove to Viserys and everyone else his worth and receiving help from his brother would kinda give the opposite of the results he wanted. So as Vaemond said, only a madman will let himself be use as bait and Daemon is one insane mf 😂
One thing confirmed, Daemon has studied under Madara Uchiha in the art of being the ultimate menace and the ark of smoking people who think they're the peanuts
It's also that the boar actually fought back and wasn't tied down, she had to actually defend herself, the old magic that inhabits the kingswood recognised this by granting her audience with the king of the wood; the white hart, king viserys went their specifically to shed blood but his heart wasn't even in that, even he recognized how low it looked hobbling over to an animal with a pre determined fate failing to kill one of the white harts subjects with full dignity in front of wavering allegiances, and then there's the prophetic nature if it being karmic justice that the stag would in turn kill the dragon
Vsyrys is a good man, but a bad king, Martin wrote him as such and has said as much, it has been shown time and time again that in the GOT universe, if you want to be a good king, you need to be a bit of a bastard.
Fun fact : Those red tassels actually are there to "mop" blood before it slides down the the handle. Peasants would just tie a piece of cloth around it.
Daemon doesn't spite his brother. What he did to the messenger- just bashing his head in without saying a word, made it look like to the army that the King isn't sending any help, and this could be Daemon's way of not getting the crown involved in the war so that relationship with the free cities wouldn't be stained any further.
seasmoke which is laenors dragon and the one that ahlped daemon is known to be small and very fast easily camoflauging itself under the cover of fog and smoke. She is a very tatical war dragon
The fire doesn't burn Targaryens was a thing Game of Thrones made up. In the source material, Dany not being burned when she hatched her dragons is meant to be a one time miracle. This show is going a lot more by book canon so they're not doing the "being completely fireproof" thing.
nah because imagine advising ur king to help stop the incoming war and he do nothing just to send help in the last minute and then u have to share the glory of all the years u where in the battle field and say it was OUR victory= the crown and the men who fought💀
2:16 Drahar is Essosi, cruelty is the MO for most of the various peoples, just look at the Dothraki and Slaver's Bay. The Bravossi, Ibbenese, Lorathi, and I assume the Norvosi and Quartheen are exceptions to that rule 2:32 This is badass. 2:51. You can't exactly blame Daemon and Caraxes for that, there's fire and smoke everywhere, it's the middle of the night, and there's a ton of other people screaming or yelling, plus he was already nailed to the post anyways. 3:13 And that's how hot dragonfire is, not to mention Caraxes's deformities likely make his flames the equivalent of a blowtorch. 5:31. No, that's Aerys II, this is one of the Aegons, and Aerys won't be born for another 110 - 120 years. 8:43. I mean that's how one of Jaehaerys's daughter, Viserra, died. 9:57. Keep in mind that Viserys has likely been drinking a lot. I like Drunk Viserys more than Sober Viserys. 12:57. Hey, wild boars are a bitch to kill with guns, imagine how hard it would be in a pre-gunpowder civilization. Also Robert Baratheon died to getting gored by a boar, even if he was piss drunk. 16:16. The one holding the rabbit skin is a member of House Strong, a house in the Riverlands, the lords of Harrenhal to be exact, the same family as Lyonel Strong, Viserys's Master of Laws. 19:26. Joffrey is a popular name in the Velaryon family, just as how Brandon is such a popular name in the Starks.
The "mop to clean up the blood" ...it's close. It's to keep the target's blood from immediately seeping down the shaft and onto your hands. Blood can slick up a spear, making it harder to hold and use.
Viserys getting all the credit for allowing Rhaenyra to pick a suitor is so interesting to me given that Alicent is the one who told him to let his daughter have a say
Daemon is such an absolute beast. Man went in there and took on an army solo. The show is doing justice to the character because in the books, daemon is legendary as well
Many people seem to forget this as there were so few Targaryens left by the time of Game of Thrones, but Danaerys was special in that fire didn't seem to hurt her. Both her brother and Jon Snow were both able to be burned so it's not like Targaryens are immune to fire normally. They also suped her up a bit on the show as in the books her hair was NOT fireproof and was burned off twice at two different points in the story.
Daemon is a Demon
@@LakeShow2408 give them time to breath lol
That's... what Daemon means x)
Well the part you said, 'viserys told them not to engage and they went anyways, now they are getting Fucked up', well I don't agree with them listening to viserys any longer, corlys was the only one suffering, if he were to allow the crab feeder, who would regard corlys when he becomes broke.

Exactly daenerys' dragons never show any tactical intelligence when the dragons are "smarter than men according to some maesters"
@@miketrujillo3677 dany had 3 toddlers flying around
@@miketrujillo3677 i think the targaryen dragons were trained and taught how to fight, what to attack, maybe recognize things that can hurt them? She only had very young dragons that never saw anything that could fight back, they spent most of their time locked up
Its nuts how much goodwill HOTD earned back for the GOT franchise as a whole considering the nightmarish uphill battle they had to face given the disastrous season finale. Awesome to see a comeback like this
lets hope they dont fuck up... it would be real easy to fuck thing up just as bad as game of thrones
@@dajointcf4803 yeah...at least D and D are nowhere near this project and the story itself is already completed
@Rick King 22 Season 8 was garbage. That isnt BS.
I think the main reason is because there aren't any other shows that combine all the elements of GoT - lore, scale, intrigue, battle scenes, some magic, violence, characters arent guaranteed to survive, etc. There's shows and movies that have some elements of this but not all of them combined
@Rick King 22 a year? It’s been like 4 lmao
btw, targaryens have tolerance to heat, but they are not fireproof, daenerys not being burnt was one time thing and special.
the only thing i can’t understand from everyone saying it in the comments. daenerys didn’t burn in the episode with dothraki leaders. you recall? then why? why didn’t she burn?
@@SaoirseSchneider because the showrunners made it up. in the books Dany got injured by Drogon's flames when trying to fly out of Meereen.
Similarly, Jon Snow burned his hand saving Commander Mormont from the White Walker in Season 1 and Maester Aemon was cremated when he died.
Whoever does your editing is a legend. Perfect humor and timing.
No one notice Viserys has lost two fingers. From getting cuts on the throne to trying to save the blacken finger with maggots and now losing two fingers. He is falling apart on the throne mentally and physically.
He is the best character in the show
My brothers went to the same Secondary School as Matt Smith. They used to play football with him. I still see the 11th Doctor when I see him but goddamn he is destroying this role. He deserves more recognition.
That boy Daemon is the black af1 energy of the seven kingdoms, mans said hold my ale...leeerroooyyyy jennkkkinnsss...first of his name... and snagged a W.
Crabfeeder is the equivalent to the boss you fight at the end of the training level. The real story hasn't even begun.
bruh they literally said in the first epi that its 172 years before the birth of the mad king
Before the DEATH of the Mad King, and the birth of Daenerys.
Daemon is hands down the best character in the show
No doubt. The most complex, gray and very interesting in HOTD
And THAT is why they start sending Ravens to deliver messages! 😆
Props to the editor man. He’s putting in WORK!!!!
Daemon is so petty I love it. He wasnt gonna let his brother take this victory. Daemon and Rhaenyra carrying this house.
At the end of the day the Crab Feeder was just one of the douchebags that appears in Westeros every once in a while to make other's lives misserable just because "fuck it, why not" lol
Viserys killed the brown stag because it's the end of Aegon II's bloodline and Rhaenyra didn't kill the white stag because her bloodline will continue until we meet Daenerys Targaryen 172 years after and the white stag came to Rhaenyra because it's a sign of royalty either say that she is the true heir to the Iron Throne and not Aegon II.
Damn, I didn't even think about that
Sheera’s “he thought he was getting saved” had me rolling lmao I said the same thing!
It is not the mad king the mad king is Aerys 😂. That baby is dangerous though so Lupa right put that baby back
They clearly forget this takes place hundreds of years before the original show Aeryes isn't born for a vary long time .
@@thatoneblackdude3333 Roshi corrected Lupa...
@@trippersigs2248 Yea I saw
Reigns of castemere are fairly new in the westeorsi playlist, it was made after Tywin wiped out a hous in his earlier years so in this time it did not exist
The crab folk likely didn't notice Seasmoke's (Laenor's dragon) approach because he blends in with the surroundings so well.
1:04 Not sure if the show changed it but in the books she's 18 when she marries Viserys.
This is why you guys are one of my favorite reactors. Not a lot of people caught the part that Daemon used himself as a bait as part of their plan. It was Laenor's plan to used him to draw out the crabmen out of their caves. Daemon didn't just suddenly went there after he received the letter.
AND YES. He is PETTY LMAO. Remember, Daemon decided to ally with Corlys to fight in Stepstones to prove to Viserys and everyone else his worth and receiving help from his brother would kinda give the opposite of the results he wanted. So as Vaemond said, only a madman will let himself be use as bait and Daemon is one insane mf 😂
Keeping it in the family so to speak is how Targaryens keep control of the dragons. Magic has a very heavy price in a Song of Ice and Fire
"I'm gone have me some fun!" Rhaynera came out them woods like Bill Duke.
That “Sweet Home Alabama” had me ROLLING
7:01 I said the same thing, soon as he said Lannister I was like hmm he ain’t 🤬 😂
It's a good thing daemon's mission at the beginning was a seek and destroy mission and not a rescue mission XD
Damn the lannister hate ...quick with it 😂😂😂
One thing confirmed, Daemon has studied under Madara Uchiha in the art of being the ultimate menace and the ark of smoking people who think they're the peanuts
It's also that the boar actually fought back and wasn't tied down, she had to actually defend herself, the old magic that inhabits the kingswood recognised this by granting her audience with the king of the wood; the white hart, king viserys went their specifically to shed blood but his heart wasn't even in that, even he recognized how low it looked hobbling over to an animal with a pre determined fate failing to kill one of the white harts subjects with full dignity in front of wavering allegiances, and then there's the prophetic nature if it being karmic justice that the stag would in turn kill the dragon
I was worried you guys were going to be behind a week or 2, glad you were able to pump out the vids and catch up!
That scene with Daemon and the messenger is historic, that is when they started sending ravens instead😅
Daemon and the crabfeeder reminded me of what was left of Ulquiorra after Hollow Ichigo's point-blank Cero.
Ahhh that's why i feel so familiar
Lupas hair growth is so cool to see over time
the editor is killing me !!!!😂
Yeah I don't know if you saw, Laenor's all gray dragon is named Sea Smoke lol, literally smoking people
Vsyrys is a good man, but a bad king, Martin wrote him as such and has said as much, it has been shown time and time again that in the GOT universe, if you want to be a good king, you need to be a bit of a bastard.
editor is a legend tbh.
Damn, Lannister got hung out to dry, all that gold and no game.
Now you guys know why they use Crows in GoTs instead of messengers. Thanks Daemon lol
Fun fact : Those red tassels actually are there to "mop" blood before it slides down the the handle. Peasants would just tie a piece of cloth around it.
Rhaenyra and Daemon, two Targaryen’s covered in blood, both achieving something great out of spite of their own king/blood.
Great symbolism, I hadn’t even put that together.
Daemon doesn't spite his brother. What he did to the messenger- just bashing his head in without saying a word, made it look like to the army that the King isn't sending any help, and this could be Daemon's way of not getting the crown involved in the war so that relationship with the free cities wouldn't be stained any further.
seasmoke which is laenors dragon and the one that ahlped daemon is known to be small and very fast easily camoflauging itself under the cover of fog and smoke. She is a very tatical war dragon
My man daemon is commiting warcrimes in order to not take that L from his brother
The fire doesn't burn Targaryens was a thing Game of Thrones made up. In the source material, Dany not being burned when she hatched her dragons is meant to be a one time miracle. This show is going a lot more by book canon so they're not doing the "being completely fireproof" thing.
I just noticed how Alicent looks really familiar and found out she played a young Wonder Woman and Lara Croft in the recent films. 😭🥺🙈
nah because imagine advising ur king to help stop the incoming war and he do nothing just to send help in the last minute and then u have to share the glory of all the years u where in the battle field and say it was OUR victory= the crown and the men who fought💀
I was also thinking how the second stab to the Stag was a symbol for his heirs as well.
absolutely epic battle scene though!~ thanks for hte reactions yall!~
fun fact: one horse can put out up to like 12 Horse power, so the carriage with 4 horses wouldn't actually be 4 horse power 😅
" but fire shouldn't hurt them " maybe, but an arrow sure can lol
2:16 Drahar is Essosi, cruelty is the MO for most of the various peoples, just look at the Dothraki and Slaver's Bay. The Bravossi, Ibbenese, Lorathi, and I assume the Norvosi and Quartheen are exceptions to that rule
2:32 This is badass.
2:51. You can't exactly blame Daemon and Caraxes for that, there's fire and smoke everywhere, it's the middle of the night, and there's a ton of other people screaming or yelling, plus he was already nailed to the post anyways.
3:13 And that's how hot dragonfire is, not to mention Caraxes's deformities likely make his flames the equivalent of a blowtorch.
5:31. No, that's Aerys II, this is one of the Aegons, and Aerys won't be born for another 110 - 120 years.
8:43. I mean that's how one of Jaehaerys's daughter, Viserra, died.
9:57. Keep in mind that Viserys has likely been drinking a lot. I like Drunk Viserys more than Sober Viserys.
12:57. Hey, wild boars are a bitch to kill with guns, imagine how hard it would be in a pre-gunpowder civilization. Also Robert Baratheon died to getting gored by a boar, even if he was piss drunk.
16:16. The one holding the rabbit skin is a member of House Strong, a house in the Riverlands, the lords of Harrenhal to be exact, the same family as Lyonel Strong, Viserys's Master of Laws.
19:26. Joffrey is a popular name in the Velaryon family, just as how Brandon is such a popular name in the Starks.
after this episode: "damn maybe we should start sending ravens instead"
Daemon saw words in a letter expressing allegiance and support but what he read was 'I'm pussy?'
It’s the mad king…if he lived to 150+ years
At the begin of the very first episode they told you that this is 172 before Daenerys is born, so it can't be her father, the mad king.
The "mop to clean up the blood" ...it's close. It's to keep the target's blood from immediately seeping down the shaft and onto your hands. Blood can slick up a spear, making it harder to hold and use.
Your Cobra Kai reactions are my favorite
Viserys getting all the credit for allowing Rhaenyra to pick a suitor is so interesting to me given that Alicent is the one who told him to let his daughter have a say
the intro is actually so good… i’d give anything to see katara animated like that
When the ADC goes in and the support is still in base buying items.
27:53 Dang, kudos to you, Roshi. Your math skills are on point.
5:48 Lmfao, that was great 🤣
There are a lot of editers on YT but YABOYROSHI's editer is so fire 🔥
MY GUY SAID NORMAL REEDUS IM DONE LMAO
Dragon: "You're Officially pardoned
From LIFE"
Wished they gave more time to episode discussions at the end of these videos…
Same
Daemon is such an absolute beast. Man went in there and took on an army solo. The show is doing justice to the character because in the books, daemon is legendary as well
Many people seem to forget this as there were so few Targaryens left by the time of Game of Thrones, but Danaerys was special in that fire didn't seem to hurt her. Both her brother and Jon Snow were both able to be burned so it's not like Targaryens are immune to fire normally. They also suped her up a bit on the show as in the books her hair was NOT fireproof and was burned off twice at two different points in the story.
'normal reedus' got me by surprise.
Y’all have yeah’d so much I have a habit of doing it now 😭
Loving the reactions... Y'all funny but Lupasan be having me DYING during these reactions!
Keep up the good work!
