I can't believe Viserys weak ass really listened to Otto Hightower and essentially betrayed his brother and Rhaenyra. Daemon as Hand and married to Rhaenyra House Targaryen would've continued to thrive to unimaginable lengths.
rhenys and corlys sitting on the throne would have prospered further because coryls made his house ritch he would have made the 7 kingdoms richer.
❤❤❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Daemon does not have the wisdom of Otto, the hand of 3 Kings.
@@HisameArtwork yeah corlys really was a successful man
Viserys wasn't weak, he was right to have Otto as his hand, Jaehaerys (the best king the 7 kingdoms has ever seen) also had him as hand.
I love Daemon (he is probably my favorite character in ASOIF world) but he is not hand material, he is called "the rogue prince" for a reason. He is impulsive and aggressive, a hand is basically a president, he needs to be a good politician, Daemon isn't.
Otto is greedy yes, but he is not a monster as people think, he never wanted Aemond to kill Luke, he hated when Aegon hanged the rat catchers, he wanted his blood as king and as he is from old town, an andal, whom tradition is based on man succession, he knows that will bring war, but he wanted them to bend the knee at the end, or succumb to their decision as Rahenys did in her succession claim.
The man loved his brother and quietly defended him at every turn. For Daemon, family was everything and he acted accordingly. He was also a DRAGON.
As a Targaryen loyalist, I love Daemon because he embodies his house words and acts like a true targaryen
Yes I 100% agree 🔥 & 🩸
Yes , totally agree .. he embodies being the Dragon .
It’s way he can be a villain to some and a Hero to others .
Yes, same here!! He is a Dragon ❤
I am a real Targaryen loyalist
While daemon is a true Targaryen he is the only real Targaryen on that side
Real loyalist gotta root for the greens
A dragon is not a slave
Comparing Daemon to Lestat is so accurate. Great video as always, Gray Area.
Thank you♥️
Yes! A tad more dense but yes. 😭
Oh my goodness @GrayArea do you watch interview with the vampire? If not I would love for you to do reaction videos to it.
You needed to have Sam Lestat. . Not Tom Lestat.
Sam is the only true Lestat.
Yes I too would love to hear her thoughts on the show as well.
I mean, three cheers for Matt Smith for portraying Daemon so impeccably, right?!
Fuck yes!!
100 x
Are you kidding me? Matt Smith as Daemon is one sexy beast!
"Biggest Daemon fan"
Excuse me. I think you have my title 🤣
We can share
Daemon is the only one who realizes he exists in a fantasy world with Dragons. Like he's the literal blood of the Dragon with an ancient history that was superior to everyone around him😅. I can't be mad he actually realizes this and acts on it😂
Balerion was like, "no0o0o0o0o! Enough of this sh!t." 😂😂😂😂
I burst out laughing 🤣
Girl, when you said, "You want him to be like Ned Stark, he's dead!" I cackled out loud so hard. But so true.
Daemon is the closest thing we will get on screen to Aegon the conquerer!
The Rogue Prince is one of my favourites EVER
Best way to describe Dameon is he's the most Targaryen .
I guess you could say there's a lot of GRAY AREA when it comes to Daemon....and that's why we love him. Can't wait for the "juicy" coverage this Season! Awoooooo!
I love what you did there!😂
i love how daemon and rhaenera are both SO targaryen, they love speaking high valerian (i'm sorry i have no idea how to spell all the names), love the customs, traditions and are so comfortable in their own skin. I love daemon as a character, but.. i don't like it when he is rough with rhaenera and i am afraid of his "half mad" side. i adore rhaenera.
The Lestat comparison was genius. Both characters knew how the world works and what their true nature is.
Also I hate how people blame Rhaenyra because Daemon killed Vaemond Velaryon, like the guy just insulted his wife and is working with Otto.
I think most of the fandom sees Team Green as just Alicent and forget that Alicent got there because Otto set her with Viserys.
Plus he defied a direct order of the king. He deserved what he got .. and I enjoyed watching it a few times . Lol
You are so right. Daemon is doing everything right and people keep not listening to him and nothing he does is being appreciated. And theyre all gonna pay for it and there's nothing he can do. I totally feel him.
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me,
no more.
You owe me $400 I just broke my car window with the side of my head
He is not my favorite Targaryen but he is fun to watch. Matt did a great job of bringing him to life. Otto was so afraid of Daemon being the next Maegor the Cruel, that he did not realize it was his grandson Aemond The Kin Slayer who was headed in that direction if given enough time.
Great observation! So true!
One way or another, Daemon is about getting the job done by being a dragon. Agree with Grayarea, you can’t be a softie in ruthless world,
A true Gray character. I feel like Daemon sacrificed himself and Aemon one eye so his son could become king. Keep up the great work.
And probably to end the smallfolk's suffering in the Riverlands. Even for an intense dragonlord, what Aemond did was a bit... Much.
Monstrous even @@jessjess23brooks89
Mine and GRRM Fav character.
& mine after Daenerys
He's the only reason i watch the show couldn't care less about the others
I would argue Daemon restrained himself in so many respects. For example If you consider in the show and Fire and Blood Vol 1 Daemon is shown to have superior knowledge of Dragon eggs, hatching, bonding and piloting. He could have used the Goldcloaks to take control of the city at any moment then raise his own force with a host of dragon riders. Especially when House Velaryon was opposing the wishes of the King's Hand. really happy you are back Gray!
Because he is a stud
when mother uttered "I don't care"... I felt that!!
I don't care if he's a killer with a heart of gold. He's the embodiment of IDAF. It's dangerous and entertaining. And his wig is 🔥🔥🔥
There was No Way Daemond would’ve kept Otto Hightower as his hand or anywhere near his small council
Daemon is the definition of Targaryen. 🥰
I agree with you 100%, the show is making him seem way to evil and without any actual development. He is both good and evil, but it feels like it is more evil. Very accurate on how Tyrion and Jaime Lannister as one person would be Daemon Targaryen, he is the baddie we all love to hate 😂 Love seeing new material from you gurl, you’re doing amazing 🫶🏻♥️
❤❤thank you
As a man I wanna be like Daemon so bad even tho I know he's evil asf
I don’t think Jaime needs a redemption ark. The actor said Jaime sacrificed his honour to save king’s landing, he’s like Ned in a way, he did the right thing and doesn’t seek to redeem himself, they will both take their sacrifice to the grave, that’s real honor
Omg I literally said Daemon was similar the vampire Lestat too!! I literally said it at the same time! 🤣🤣 Both are diabolical but its always for a reason and to claim what is rightfully there's. Also, loved your comparison to Tyrion, never thought about them being similar before but I'm sure Tyrion would be happy to know he was comparable to the Ultimate Dragon.
😂 I love how when they asked Matt smith about danys actions in season 8 he said he would join her
Daemon can't be an ordinary character just like any other character .. He's GRRMs favorite Targaryen ! the guy who created this awesome universe full of uncountable great characters
I am going to send this video whenever someone wants to slander Daemon.
The more show's creator or "fans" try to stop folks from loving this already adored character (literally ever since Fire and blood came out), the MORE I'm gonna love him! At everyyyyy cost! I don't even care anymore! I'll honestly enjoy his character no matter what he does
It is clear the show runners favor Rhaenyra's camp.
@@princedavid88 True, but they've done a decent job of portraying both camps as grey. It's also true that, in the book, Archmaester Gyldayn's narrative is written with a pro-Green slant, consistently favoring rumor/innuendo over fact-or vice versa-depending on which side it portrays in a better light. Show Daemon is still grey, but certainly a far clearer anti-hero in the show than in text.
Hero to some and villain to others. I personally see him as an antihero. You don't mess with him and he doesn't mess with you.
As soon as I saw that thumbnail, it was a wrap...I've always loved those bad boys!
🫶💋👑
That is exactly like Monopoly or Uno. They are known as "Friendship Enders" for a reason. :D
Actually u have a point because when I throw a draw 4 and someone throws it back to me I want a flippppp the table
Black baddies club ✌️🖤🖤🖤
Thank to say that he is similar to Tyrion, because even tho I didn't see this comparison coming, Since the 1st time I saw Tyrion in Got, I was like "he is very cunning and can manipulate when he wants to, or be very upfront and confrontational, he definitely likes chaos" but I think people didn't see that because they saw the kind heart he had for people he thought were similar to him, like Bran being disable and John being a bastard.
Loved him from the minute he came across my tv screen! I’m so ready for this season! So happy to hear your voice again!!!
I love Daemon’s character. The dude is a man’s man. No regrets.
Aegon The Conqueror was the original Chad Targaryen. Daemon is that gigachad reborn.
The Lastat comparison is pretty good. Lol
I love Daemon! I already preemptively forgiven him of any future crimes. Great video!
It’s great to come back and hear a familiar voice ❤❤!!! Go Team Black 😊
"Daemon it's an anti-hero"
My imagination: Daemon singing "it's me! Hi! I'm the problem, it's me!"
From episode 1, I said that's my dawg. Great fighter, takes no crap, dragon armor actually showing pride in his family's house. Smooth with women, he's the brother, that make sure no one picks on the other brother.
Dats my dawg! 😎
Glad to see your videos again was looking for you when they did the latest trailer lol
The queen be slaying with facts once again! great vid!
Finally a video that perfectly describes how I've viewed Daemon.
DEAR SLIM I WROTE YOU BUT YOU STILL AINT CALLINGz lmaooo that went over they heads lmaooo that’s why I love you . Lmaooo
"The City Watch was run down. Raggedy!" LMFAOO 😂
He was my favorite character in the book, the way he went out by jumping from one dragon to another makes him an absolute legend.
I'm watchin HotD and keep thinking "When we get another scene with Daemon?"
Daemon is my absolute favorite Targaryen.. equal parts of light and dark 🖤🐲👑
"Viserys rode Baelaerion once, and he died" I died xD
Daemon is my favorite Targaryen. A true Dragon Lord and loyal to his House & motto.
Oh how I missed you lady Gray ❤️❤️ we're lit this summer 🎉
Also Team Black all the way lol🖤🖤
Damon is my favorite character in this series. He is an antihero after my own heart. Doesn’t hurt that Matt Smith is a total babe.
Gray! Girl I’ve missed you and wholeheartedly appreciate you!
I don’t want to be weird but I love your voice. Not just in a sexy way but you sound like you can read the hell out of a bedtime story.
Matt Smith is so good at grey characters, I can’t wait to see more of how him portraying Daemon esp how he deals with the consequences of blood & cheese, his restlessness and what kind of partner he is with Rheanyra, as well as his final showdown with Aemond!
*How can you love the man?! He's just a dangerous brooding rebel who plays by his own rules!! Your attraction to him is **_forbidden!!_*
Yeah, I kind of find him pretty boring watching the show and her describing his book 'character'. He reads off as a fanfiction character that does not really suffer any real losses. All his kids survived, while Rhaenyra gets one of the worse deaths and her three eldest died tragic deaths.
Last time i was this late, i lost sight of this channel 😭😭😭so glad I found it again!
It's about time my favorite ASOIAF content creator stepped back into the light, and making a video on the greatest Targaryen. Prince Daemon. I feel like the show wants people to hate him. Especially when he put his hands on Rhaenyra. Well I know exactly what's coming and they can't make me hate the prince of flea bottom
Anti hero is the way I look at him. He is a Medieval Gangster on Dragon Back.
Great to see you back, MJ. ❤
Nice work, Gray! Love your analysis of Daemon! 🖤He's a truly compelling character, complex, fascinating and badass.
Great video and breakdown of Dameon. This is why I've been rocking with you for so many years. Your approach can't be topped!
Could NOT agree more with everything you said I love Daemon and I love Matt Smith’s walk ❤
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I love Daemon’s character. The only person who can win it for team Black is Daemon. Game of Throns: you win or you die. People who argue about Daemon´s "moral" don´t realize it is all about the middle ages. A time with a different mind set. Was William the conqueror a Hero or a Villain? Great men are very complex and gray characters who dare to do what is needed to survive: "you win or you die".
I love that I get years more of your voice and brain!
Lestat comparison is pretty damn close really, love it.
Damn you was cooking this whole video I think the whole hotd fandom needs to watch this video🔥
tyrion + jaime is EXACTLY the vibe i get from daemon. i just said this to my partner earlier today. 100% agree with your thoughts! daemon is tyrion plus the most dangerous parts of jaime. daemon is such an ominously grey villain and i love him for it.
Love him. It’s nice to hear someone talk some good about him.
Whether he's being "good" or "bad", Daemon is always interesting and that makes him a marvellous man.
Man seeing you,talking thrones, and our boy ser hunts making videos makes me happy
At what point does desire for revenge overcome the positive qualities of protecting or advancing your family?
Daemon has some great moments in the book. I hope the show does them justice.
Couldn't have said it better myself he's such an interesting character W vid 🥰🔥🔥
He is my favorite and I agree with your analysis of his character.
Gray omg please keep the videos coming. I miss u. Ive watched all ur vids more than twice waiting for new content. Nonetheless this sweet summer child will be waiting through the long night until your new video
my absolute favorite character. i love antiheros!
I agree with everything you said ☝🏾. You really spilled!! From the very first book in the ASOIAF franchise George exposes a truth about this world with the Ned vs Cersei showdown, you can be a hero or you can be a winner but you can’t be both. Even Daenerys is coming to this conclusion in the books.
I personally think Daemon was for the blacks what Alicent was for the greens. Otto might’ve been his enemy and Aemond was his military rival but Alicent was his match. She didn’t care that Rhaenyra was the heir, she married a king and she wasn’t going to let another bloodline step over her. She was prepared to start a war, butcher children and bathe in the blood of her enemies bc she was fighting for her legacy. Just like Daemon. And from everything critics have said that’s the Alicent & Daemon we’re getting this season and I cannot fucking wait. I truly think we’re in for one of the best seasons of tv in the Westeros universe and I cannot wait. Great video Gray! It’s good to have you back. 🙏🏾
You’re a dragon be a DRAGON ❤️🩸🐉🔥
I fuggin love your videos so much 😂😍😍
Love me some Daemon 🖤
Daemon Prince of the City he just the best character🔥🔥
This is prob one of your best videos!! Dameon is that guy !!
I love Daemon. He is such a complex and therefore relatable character. I think of him as being similar to Feanor in the Tolkien legendarium - both are morally gray characters who engender both love and hate from the fandom.
Gray… our boy is DEFINITELY Lestat! Fuckin rockstar all day
‼️‼️
Sara Hess and Ryan Condal should watch this video
Picturing Aemond writing Daemon letters is hilarious 🤣 15:15
Peoples inability to separate fiction from reality will never cease to amaze me.
these shows and George's writing are closer to reality than fiction. yes even the supernatural stuff...
Viserys was too dumb to be king. Ridiculously short sited. Instead of trusting his brother, he trusted a holier than thou snake.
I love him!
You are a good story teller. I would listen to an audiobook read by you. You should look into it. Keep up the good work.
