the best part of the scene in the throne room with Viserys and Daemon is that it wasn’t scripted. The crown fell off and Paddy and Matt stayed in character.
Well hats off to camera men then, he predicted that something like this unscripted will happen, so 3 cameramen were already in position to capture this unscripted moment with perfect timing.
Remember, when her father talked to her before naming her his heir, he said “the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion.” Neither of the boys had control at the end.
Luce had control over Arrax, Luce was giving orders in high Valeryrian all the time but Arrax was feeling threatened so it attacked and dragons attack when threatened its their first instinct. Aemond on the other hand was giving orders in common tongue because nobody taught him Valerian and Vhagar dont understand that shit and Vhagar was feeding off one-eyes anger and psychosis.
@@yusufraage8554 « NEITHER OF THE BOYS » what u didn’t understand here ? NONE OF THEM HAS CONTROL NOT EVEN LUKE OKAY DON’T SAY THAT JUST CAUSE IT’S UR FAV
The series did such a wrong mistake about this, because in the books gets very clear that Aemond killed Luce on purpose, and even took of his eyes after his death. But in the show as you can see, they make seem like it was his dragon who did it.
37:56 "King Viserys is dead, long live King Aegon." Hearing the cries, Munkun writes, some wept whilst others cheered, but most of the smallfolk stared in silence, confused and wary, and now and again a voice cried out, "Long live our queen."
That line is exactly what Daemon would've said if they met under normal circumstances 😂 I bet Daemon would even prefer him over his own sons (those who read the books must know what I'm talking about).
When this dropped they were saying Otto’s The Hand, and Alicent’s The Foot 😂 Recognizing Aemond from that other show was crazy! You two are extra adorable, and fun to watch with each other. The reaction wasn’t boring at all.
great reaction girlies!! you slay it every time. 1. tynia is right, talya was sending a signal to the white worm. the building burning at the end of the episode is where mysaria (the white worm) lived. 2. no, you can't tame more than one dragon. daemon already has a dragon, so he won't be able to ride the big bad scary one, but someone else can. 3. the news got back to daemon likely cause the body parts of the dragon + lucerys washed up on the beach. they weren't that far from storm's end when it happened. i'm assuming that the baratheons had the decency to let someone know. 4. ewan mitchell (guy who plays aemond/osferth) plays both characters well but i feel like he really suits the more sinister characters, he slayed that scene in storm's end. and yeah, he's got a sapphire in his eye socket, hes extra.
It's also entirely possible that Aemond just admitted it when he got back to the castle. Since they had such a contentious meeting just before Lucerys left. And since there's no way people in Storm's End didn't notice Aemond flying away immediately after Lucerys did, his disappearance wouldn't have been hard to figure out. Everyone in Storm's End would suspect he killed him in a dragon fight anyway, and that's exactly what happened. So Aemond probably just owned up to it.
Something so small that they did in this episode that i loved. Is that Rhaenrya's hair is worn pin-straight at nearly all times in the show. Except for her crowning scene, where it is lightly wavy, indicating the strife she's just been through with losing her baby. But also allows for the shot of the back of her head towards the kneeling, where she really resembles her father Viserys, and his more wavy hair in the crown.
Team Black all the way. Otto was planning to usurp Rhaenyra way before she even had children “bastards”. I put bastards in quotation because Laenor claimed both boys. The minute her mom died he was plotting. There’s actually a theory that he plotted with the Maester to cut open Rhaenyras mom while she was giving birth. Also Vaemmond deserved what he got. He was trying to get Driftmark before Corey’s even died
Hey girls I love your reactions.. even when you get sucked in!! we all did but your reactions are spot on!!! Vermithor is the name of the dragon Deamon sang to in the cave, his grandfather was its first and last rider. Deamon singing to the dragon was a routine the late King Jaehaerys did with the dragon before riding him. Deamon is getting the dragon ready for a possible new rider.
@@zavthe1371 yall need to stop this dumb narrative that people who like nyra havent read the book. Idc bout helena and them, should have stole the throne and killed her kid
Daemon was in the cave with the dragon Vermithor, last ridden by his grandfather, Jaeharys(you saw him in episode 1 name viserys as heir instead of rheanys). He was singing a dragon song that his grandfather taught him when he was a boy, so he took a chance that vermithor wouldn't kill him assuming his grandfather sang the song to his dragon. Daemon won't be riding vermithor, but I won't spoil who does!
Good reactions. Not boring. I been waiting for so long to see your reactions to that ending with Old Vhagar and Baby Arrax. "...evil, maniacal laugh...". ROFLMFAO. Thx. Season 2 coming soon they say. Just a few months. Time flies.
I absolutely love episode 8, especially how the director (if I recall correctly) said Viserys is walking towards Rhaenyra not the throne. Also a nice detail is that in the dinner the rotten part of Viserys face is next to the Hightowers while the other half is where Rhaenyra and Daemon are. I can’t believe Paddy, the actor, didn’t even get a nomination for his performance!
21:01 It's fascinating that Viserys's worst face is on the side of the greens, Alicent, Otto and his other children and Viserys's best face is on the side of his daughter Rhaenyra and her brother Daemon and his grandchildren.
I think it's the face that the family members have seen. He has favored Rhaenyra over his other children and forgiven Daemon countless times. He sees them as his true family. The others feel his neglect and his "ugly" side. They are just duty and there in case something happened with Rhaenyra. They are expendable and he doesn't seem to care much for them.
I'm with Rhaenyra right from the very beginning in ep1. Hundreds of lords have already sworn oath and pledged loyalty to her, and Viserys never changed his mind. So why there are people still supporting the Greens?
Maybe because Viserys is dead, so his opinion doesn't matter. And Rhaenyra put bastards in the royal succession. Keep in mind, Targaryens aren't just handed the crown. It must be taken. That's why Dany not Viserys made it to Westeros. How do you think Maegor got his crown? Or Jahaerys? The Mad King wanted Viserys to be his heir. Should Robert have honored his wishes?
@@havok6280 Advocating for a crown to always be taken by force is an absolutely horrible idea. It just ensures that every time a king dies there must be a civil war for the throne. There is no point in a royal line, or even caring about bastards on the throne tbh, if having the power to take the throne is all that matters.
@@havok6280technically Rhaenyra kids just as much Targaryen as Alicents kids tbh. They’re both half bloods, people just forget because of the white hair.

@@ebonijones3641 "At least Rhaenyra would have been a good queen" 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Sure bud. Go read the books are find out why Rhaenyra was called "Maegor with teets".
@@rohanshende4338 she was better than Aegon’s drunk self. Like I said he’s not a good alternative either, we’re talking about the show not the books and If Aegon was anything like how he was in the show, I rest my case.
The dragon in the cave is Vermithor - the dragon of the old king (before Viserys), who we briefly saw in the first scene of episode 1. Daemon can't claim another dragon, but he might be able to help someone else claim one.
The unclaimed dragon Daemon is singing to is Vermithor. He was the dragon ridden by king Jaehaerys. The king you saw crown Viserys over Rhaenys at the beginning of the season, who is Rhaenyras great grandfather. Vermithor was the second biggest dragon after Vhagar in existence at the time. Him and his mate silverwing are believed to be the ones producing so many of the eggs.
@@TheDream6842 But wasn't Dreamfyre in King's Landing, in the Dragonpit, at this time? Or had she laid the clutch many years ago, before the birth of her current rider?
Actually she didn't mean torture. Alicent reacted the way she did because she herself was one of the main perpetrators, if not the main one period, who would discuss it with everyone except the king. So she knew that either she would end up getting the punishment the king decreed in the matter, those she cares/cared for would get the punishment or both.
Isn't "sharply question" a euphemism, in the court/among the royalty and high nobility of Westeros, for torture? Rhaenyra was advocating the torture, or at least very rough treatment, of her own half-brother, a child. (no excuse for Alicent to go postal, but I could see why she was set off, particularly since Viserys, her husband and Aemond's father, did not tell Rhaenyra that Aemond had been tortured enough and any questioning could wait until he felt better, in fact Viserys is barely concerned with Aemond's state, doesn't try to comfort him, just yells at the boy)
I don't mind a more low-key reaction at all!! You two pay attention and fully understand what's going on. That kind of engagement is far better than loud shouting at the screen talking over everything.
I don't think Rhaenyra asked for Aemond to be tortured, that's not what the showrunners were going for there. If she had, it would have prompted a response from Alicent and Viserys.
Y'all have the best reaction vids The story is so beautiful because you can see the downward spiraling of everyone involved, they tried so hard to make it work and have peace and every time it blew in either Alicent or Rhaenyra's faces, there were multiple chances for it to end well but circumstances didn't allow it Btw this wasn't a boring reaction at all, its much better when you're real - a lot of reaction youtubers try too hard to make comments every moment of the video, yours is refreshing!
The crown the Kingsguard brings was worn by Viserys and Jaehaerys, the one Aegon II was crowned with was the one worn Aegon I... and an usurper Maegor the Cruel. So its very fitting for him😂
I'd love to see you two react to *Black Sails* . it's already a completed show, has four seasons, some say it's like the pirate version of Game of Thrones, except it didn't fall off in it's last season
it’s been over a year and i’m still not over that baby luke dying on screen like why did they have to pick the most adorable child to play him? ugh he was too sweet for that world
New subscriber here. Love both your energy. Started watching yesterday your HOTD reaction. So glad started yesterday. Didn’t have to wait long for the last few eps. Lol.
Keep in mind that Viserys once to Alicent that he had a probably prophetic dream about his son on the throne. Regardless, the small council had plans in place.
When I saw Luke die, it let me know how my readers feel when I kill their favorite characters and they come for me😢. My brother said he's here for every war crime Rhaenyra commits after this.
EP10 R.I.P to my sweet Lucerys❤🖤, was my favourite from the start with both actors. He got so nervous in situations and always got comforted by Rhaenyra by holding his hand lovingly. My queen Rhaenyra proves once again just how strong she is and how she's actually better than Aegon & Dany, by not wanting the throne over keeping the realm united or peace & keeping her promise to her father. She's lost so much this episode. Felt so bad for poor baby Arrax too, who's just as young & scared as Luke since Arrax was born to him. Aemond was such a stupid fool treating Vhagar like a car, what did he expect to happen. Poor Arrax doesn't know Aemonds just taunting them. Rhaenyra & Syrax both lost their precious son this episode, (Luke&Arrax) Also of course Rhaenyra lost her 1st baby girl Visenya & Viserys this episode too 🖤 Loved ur reaction once again, the end always gives me chills. BTW your reaction was great, wasn't boring because you reacted alot without talking much, that's the way it is with episodes like these.
I ain't no team in particular, i'm just here to enjoy the good ass show lol. Some of these people ragging on you guys for being team black are so immature lol. And let's be real, both sides of this war wouldn't give a fuck if any of us died lol. We'd be the peasants they step on in this show. xD
If you think about it, I get why Aegon turned out the way he did. Since the beginning we see his Father not caring at all about him or Aemond honestly. They only had Allicent who was paranoid most times and stressing out about keeping them safe.
the writers ruined alicent. this would have worked really well as a friends to enemies story but they refuse to ever let her and rhaenyra become enemies. the fact that alicent forgives rhaenyra and says she supports her being queen makes no sense after the events of driftmark and after she thinks they had Laenor murdered so she could marry Daemon and after she watched them murder Vaemond right in front of her for simply speaking the truth. she's spent 16 years thinking that Rhaenyra would have her kids murdered and she just gets over it out of nowhere and chooses rhaenyra over her own children's lives.
@@AC-ow1gj Alicent had ambition and agency in the book. She wanted something and took actions to get what she wanted. Alicent on the show doesnt want anything. She does what she's told and then she's sad about it. That's her whole character because the writers wanted all the female characters to be victims of the patriarchy and nothing else.
@@AC-ow1gj the war is being fought between Rhaenyra and Aegon and the writers straight up told us, dont care about or like Aegon, he's an evil irredeemable monster and he doesnt matter, it's all about Alicent and Rhaenyra and how much they love each other, that's all the writers care about.
Regardless of it's the truth. Calling someone a bastard in court is a punishable offense Vaemund was gonna get killed or at the most tortured by someone regardless of if it was Daemon.
@@JuanitoEsBonito he was going to get his tongue removed, that was the sente3nce passed by the king, Daemon had no right o murder him. Alicent saw that they kill those in their way with impunity, if anything that should have caused her to fear for her children even more but instead she just decides that Rhaenyra will be a great queen and her children are in no danger.
@@WhatsTeeWatchin also the dragon that was in the cave is vermithor also known as the bronze fury, he’s the second largest dragon currently and his rider was the former king jahaerys, rhaenys, daemon and viserys’s grandfather. The reason daemon was singing that luluby is because jahaerys used to sing it to vermithor as well as his grandkids and vermithor ate anyone who tried to claim him after the king died so he recognized daemon by him singing the lullaby and not eating him Another fun fact: it’s rumored that dany’s 3 dragons are the sons of vermithor and dreamfyre since in this time 3 dragon eggs went missing and drogon,viserion and rhaegal all look like dreamfyre and vermithor
Omg. You guys are the only reactors I have seen who understood Rhaynes speech to Alicent, connected it to the foot thing and talked about! Obsessed! ❤ Watch the Bear and then I may Destroy You and then Fleabag if you haven’t already.
44:59 that's Viserys' crown, which was appropriate since he wanted her to rule. Whereas Aegon is wearing Aegon the Conqueror's crown. 56:08 Didn't Aemond himself say, "It was a fair exchange. I may have lost an eye, but I gained a dragon," so he did that shit for NOTHING! Just his ego.
Definitely thought we was goin get the second season trailer at the end but dope! The Bear next, yes chef. Also if you’ve seen Saltburn the actor that plays Aemond was the weird friend at the beginning.
Rhaenyra lost her father, her only daughter, and her son ... I wouldn't show restraint anymore fr... I'm definitely team Black but i love Alicent... I can see why she is the way she is and she truly does care about her children, she's the only one I like on team green tho lmaooo I wanna see Daemon and his daughters more!!!!!!!!! I wanna see the one who doesn't have a dragon get one toooo I love Daemon's relationship with Viserys, starting this i didn't think i would like the king as much as I did but he truly was THEE character tbh I was missing hotd sooo much i'm so glad i found your reactions girlss it was so fun rewatching with yall
Great reactions. You're really good at this. You always have good insights and interesting reactions because you're actually listening to the show. Seen too mamy reactors who talk through the whole thing and then don't understand the story because they talked through all the intrigue and nuance. So yeah, no worries about not talking enough. Quality over quantity.
another thing about Aegon and the greens usurping the throne from Rhaenyra was that the widows law forbids any child born from the king or queens first s/o to be disinherited from their birthright(the throne) regardless of gender. So when they keep mentioning that having a girl on the throne would be illegal it’s a lie, and it would technically be VERY illegal to have Aegon be crowned.
@@hayden-ty9fd she wasnt set to inherit the throne when she was born, Daemon was the heir. As first born son of the king, the throne is Aegon's birthright.
it's unambiguously referring to torture in the book and the show didnt change the dialogue for it. rhaenyra in the book is ordering people's deaths and is quite bloodthirsty and powerhungry.
@@arobin6695 I really don't care about what happened in the books it was never confirmed that it meant torture. You Green fans went with it because you have no good reason to support Team Green so you do everything in your power to make team black look bad
I like your energy and how perceptive you are! I'm more neutral, I have characters I like from both sides. I'm not currently in any subs, but I think one problem is that people get very personal. Like if you like one side or a certain character, you as a whole are a misogynist ect. Some of team black is quiet something and I started to avoid the black sub altogether. Basically if someone likes any of the greens they are terrible people to them. You can't even be neutral like me. You just get nuked by some very unhinged fans of team black. I have been told I can't be neutral, because neutral means I h@t3 all women, don't want women to have rights and think women are inferior to men. I also don't like Daemon and got attacked for it. I just left the team black sub and don't go into their spaces. It's the most toxic fandom I have ever seen and I still remember Supernatural. Then team green faught back and now it's a toxic mess between the two. From the team black side I like Corlys, Jace, Rhaena, Laenor and after episode 10 Rhaenyra, before episode 10 Rhaenys. In show canon I also think Rhaenyra would be much better than Aegon as a ruler. From the green side I like Helaena, Daeron ( hopefully appears in season 2 ), show! Aemond, Alicent, Tyland. So I'm staying neutral and don't choose a side. In the end this is a dysfuncional family and a family conflict about inheritance. Just that they are royals and have dragons. So their conflict will end in tragedy for them and almost the whole continent. I like to think of it that way, than one team vs the other team.
Team Black all day I’ve enjoyed watching your reactions can’t wait for season 2 this summer The dragon Daemon went to see was Vermithor the dragon of King Jaehaerys the old man from the first episode Oh The Last Of Us was a great show

44:30 “The dead girl had been named Visenya, Princess Rhaenyra announced the next day, when milk of the poppy had blunted the edge of her pain.”
"Sharply question" is an euphamism for torture, yes, but not nesesarly. Vyssi did sharply qiestion aegon
Amazing reaction!! You understood everything
The dragon in the cave is Vermithor - the dragon of the old king (before Viserys), who we briefly saw in the first scene of episode 1. Daemon can't claim another dragon, but he might be able to help someone else claim one.
The unclaimed dragon Daemon is singing to is Vermithor. He was the dragon ridden by king Jaehaerys. The king you saw crown Viserys over Rhaenys at the beginning of the season, who is Rhaenyras great grandfather. Vermithor was the second biggest dragon after Vhagar in existence at the time. Him and his mate silverwing are believed to be the ones producing so many of the eggs.
I think they only produced Sunfyre's egg as the dragon was born in Dragonstone. But the others are likely Dreamfyre's children.
@@TheDream6842 But wasn't Dreamfyre in King's Landing, in the Dragonpit, at this time? Or had she laid the clutch many years ago, before the birth of her current rider?
Definitely down for seeing y’all react to The Bear
Actually she didn't mean torture. Alicent reacted the way she did because she herself was one of the main perpetrators, if not the main one period, who would discuss it with everyone except the king. So she knew that either she would end up getting the punishment the king decreed in the matter, those she cares/cared for would get the punishment or both.
Isn't "sharply question" a euphemism, in the court/among the royalty and high nobility of Westeros, for torture? Rhaenyra was advocating the torture, or at least very rough treatment, of her own half-brother, a child. (no excuse for Alicent to go postal, but I could see why she was set off, particularly since Viserys, her husband and Aemond's father, did not tell Rhaenyra that Aemond had been tortured enough and any questioning could wait until he felt better, in fact Viserys is barely concerned with Aemond's state, doesn't try to comfort him, just yells at the boy)
Loved y’all reacting to the series! Y’all should watch how to get away with murder while y’all wait for HOTD S2
52:33
No you can’t claim more than one dragon. That was vermathor it was King Jaeharyes’s Dragon (Daemon’ Grandfather)
Team green is for the bitter hateful type people , no shade .
Yup, Only Incels are team green 😅
I don't mind a more low-key reaction at all!! You two pay attention and fully understand what's going on. That kind of engagement is far better than loud shouting at the screen talking over everything.
Thank you for reacting to HOD!! I have been so productive having you in the background while I work!🙏 So happy to see your channel grow! 🤍
I don't think Rhaenyra asked for Aemond to be tortured, that's not what the showrunners were going for there. If she had, it would have prompted a response from Alicent and Viserys.
Y'all have the best reaction vids
The story is so beautiful because you can see the downward spiraling of everyone involved, they tried so hard to make it work and have peace and every time it blew in either Alicent or Rhaenyra's faces, there were multiple chances for it to end well but circumstances didn't allow it
Btw this wasn't a boring reaction at all, its much better when you're real - a lot of reaction youtubers try too hard to make comments every moment of the video, yours is refreshing!
44:30 "She was my only daughter and they killed her, they stole my crown and murdered my daughter, and they shall answer for it." - Rhaenyra Targaryen
Subbed for season 2, can't wait, yall are awesome.
The crown the Kingsguard brings was worn by Viserys and Jaehaerys, the one Aegon II was crowned with was the one worn Aegon I... and an usurper Maegor the Cruel. So its very fitting for him😂
Knowing Aemond he will tell them all and say he did it purposefully. In fear of looking weak and that he couldn’t control the dragon.
Loved this. Please do another series.
I'd love to see you two react to *Black Sails* . it's already a completed show, has four seasons, some say it's like the pirate version of Game of Thrones, except it didn't fall off in it's last season
I have seen so many reactions! yall are now one of my faves!!
it’s been over a year and i’m still not over that baby luke dying on screen like why did they have to pick the most adorable child to play him? ugh he was too sweet for that world
Loved your reactions!
If you like Graham Mctavish (the honorable knight that wouldnt go kill Renira). He is fantastic in a series called Outlander!
New subscriber here. Love both your energy. Started watching yesterday your HOTD reaction. So glad started yesterday. Didn’t have to wait long for the last few eps. Lol.
subscribed! can't wait for y'all vids for S2
Keep in mind that Viserys once to Alicent that he had a probably prophetic dream about his son on the throne.
Regardless, the small council had plans in place.
Oh you know what… you are right , wearing the conqueror crown. 🫣
Can we see you reacting to the season 2 trailer??
"There has never lived a Stark who forgotten an oath."
Until Sansa 😅😅
TEAM BLACK 🖤GIRRLS 🎉🎉

🖤🖤🖤
@@stardust_6129💚💚💚
Loves loved loved your guyses reactions reminds me of when i watch stuff with my siblings 💜
When I saw Luke die, it let me know how my readers feel when I kill their favorite characters and they come for me😢. My brother said he's here for every war crime Rhaenyra commits after this.
Two or more wrongs never make a right, as Rhaenyra will eventually learn. Not that the Greens are clear of war crimes...
love you guys reactions 🖤
gonna need both of yall for THE BEAR pls :)
I’m more scared of Rhaenyra last look of the entire first season than I am of Aemond trihard self
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS POST
44:30 Visenya was born dead, twisted, malformed, with a hole in her chest where her heart was supposed to be and a dragon's tail with scales.
EP10
R.I.P to my sweet Lucerys❤🖤, was my favourite from the start with both actors. He got so nervous in situations and always got comforted by Rhaenyra by holding his hand lovingly. My queen Rhaenyra proves once again just how strong she is and how she's actually better than Aegon & Dany, by not wanting the throne over keeping the realm united or peace & keeping her promise to her father. She's lost so much this episode. Felt so bad for poor baby Arrax too, who's just as young & scared as Luke since Arrax was born to him. Aemond was such a stupid fool treating Vhagar like a car, what did he expect to happen. Poor Arrax doesn't know Aemonds just taunting them. Rhaenyra & Syrax both lost their precious son this episode, (Luke&Arrax) Also of course Rhaenyra lost her 1st baby girl Visenya & Viserys this episode too 🖤
Loved ur reaction once again, the end always gives me chills.
BTW your reaction was great, wasn't boring because you reacted alot without talking much, that's the way it is with episodes like these.
MY FAVESSSSS!!!!!!!! Yall gotta do SUCCESSION next! Its like GOT/House of the Dragon but in todays times and not as bloody. Well physically anyways.😏
Logan is definitely a human dragon
Succession that’s a good one!
Can't wait for S2 of HOT D
I ain't no team in particular, i'm just here to enjoy the good ass show lol. Some of these people ragging on you guys for being team black are so immature lol. And let's be real, both sides of this war wouldn't give a fuck if any of us died lol. We'd be the peasants they step on in this show. xD
Also i loved osferth so much as a character because he was a sweetheart, but i feel like he bodies the aemond look
Team Black period!!! Love yall reactions! Can we get a Season 2 HOTD trailer reaction now that you’ve finished Season 1? 👀👀
I am not Team Green but I can't blame Alicent for misunderstanding. She wasn't lying, from her perception.
If you think about it, I get why Aegon turned out the way he did. Since the beginning we see his Father not caring at all about him or Aemond honestly. They only had Allicent who was paranoid most times and stressing out about keeping them safe.
the writers ruined alicent. this would have worked really well as a friends to enemies story but they refuse to ever let her and rhaenyra become enemies. the fact that alicent forgives rhaenyra and says she supports her being queen makes no sense after the events of driftmark and after she thinks they had Laenor murdered so she could marry Daemon and after she watched them murder Vaemond right in front of her for simply speaking the truth. she's spent 16 years thinking that Rhaenyra would have her kids murdered and she just gets over it out of nowhere and chooses rhaenyra over her own children's lives.
alicent was also insignificant in the books, this matter was not between Rhaenyra and Alicent, it was between Rhaenyra and Aegon
@@AC-ow1gj Alicent had ambition and agency in the book. She wanted something and took actions to get what she wanted. Alicent on the show doesnt want anything. She does what she's told and then she's sad about it. That's her whole character because the writers wanted all the female characters to be victims of the patriarchy and nothing else.
@@AC-ow1gj the war is being fought between Rhaenyra and Aegon and the writers straight up told us, dont care about or like Aegon, he's an evil irredeemable monster and he doesnt matter, it's all about Alicent and Rhaenyra and how much they love each other, that's all the writers care about.
Regardless of it's the truth. Calling someone a bastard in court is a punishable offense Vaemund was gonna get killed or at the most tortured by someone regardless of if it was Daemon.
@@JuanitoEsBonito he was going to get his tongue removed, that was the sente3nce passed by the king, Daemon had no right o murder him. Alicent saw that they kill those in their way with impunity, if anything that should have caused her to fear for her children even more but instead she just decides that Rhaenyra will be a great queen and her children are in no danger.
olivia cooke is so damn talented I cant wait to see what they do w Alicent next season
Loved your reactions as a big got & hotd fan ✨✨ will look forward of your reaction for S2 hehe 🫶🏽
24:22 he's also in saltburn
Guys in episode 7 if you go back right before daemon cuts off vaemond head you’ll see its actually rhaenyra nodding to him giving him the okay
Going back 👀▶️
@@WhatsTeeWatchin also the dragon that was in the cave is vermithor also known as the bronze fury, he’s the second largest dragon currently and his rider was the former king jahaerys, rhaenys, daemon and viserys’s grandfather.
The reason daemon was singing that luluby is because jahaerys used to sing it to vermithor as well as his grandkids and vermithor ate anyone who tried to claim him after the king died so he recognized daemon by him singing the lullaby and not eating him
Another fun fact: it’s rumored that dany’s 3 dragons are the sons of vermithor and dreamfyre since in this time 3 dragon eggs went missing and drogon,viserion and rhaegal all look like dreamfyre and vermithor
@@xerxeszero586the singing was also him telling the tale of the 3 heads it take to have a dragons,
FINALLY I was waiting for yalls reactions ❤️
Omg. You guys are the only reactors I have seen who understood Rhaynes speech to Alicent, connected it to the foot thing and talked about! Obsessed! ❤
Watch the Bear and then I may Destroy You and then Fleabag if you haven’t already.
44:59 that's Viserys' crown, which was appropriate since he wanted her to rule. Whereas Aegon is wearing Aegon the Conqueror's crown.
56:08 Didn't Aemond himself say, "It was a fair exchange. I may have lost an eye, but I gained a dragon," so he did that shit for NOTHING! Just his ego.
Fun fact Helaena, Alicents daughter is a dreamer but everyone thinks shes crazy
Definitely thought we was goin get the second season trailer at the end but dope! The Bear next, yes chef. Also if you’ve seen Saltburn the actor that plays Aemond was the weird friend at the beginning.
I’ve been waiting for this 👏
I wonder why Otto Hightower casually lied to viserys when he asked for supper & Otto said “it’s the Morning”?
55:52 some of us are familiar with that reaction ;)
Still having nightmares!! 😂
WHEELCHAIRS weren't invented until BRAN da Broken rolled up because Drogo destroyed the idea of making chairs out of iron
Ooh. Another thing Aemond was in. I didn't recognize him when he was in Saltburn until everyone pointed it out.
In other words, watch Saltburn.
If "say it with your chest" was a person - "😏BASTEEERDDSS!!" 🤣🤣🤣
there is already the first teaser of season 2, it would be nice you guys react to it
Rhaenyra lost her father, her only daughter, and her son ... I wouldn't show restraint anymore fr...
I'm definitely team Black but i love Alicent... I can see why she is the way she is and she truly does care about her children, she's the only one I like on team green tho lmaooo
I wanna see Daemon and his daughters more!!!!!!!!! I wanna see the one who doesn't have a dragon get one toooo
I love Daemon's relationship with Viserys, starting this i didn't think i would like the king as much as I did but he truly was THEE character tbh
I was missing hotd sooo much i'm so glad i found your reactions girlss it was so fun rewatching with yall
ALICENT JUST TRYING TO PROTECT HER KIDS😭💚💚
"when is she [Baela] gonna start talking?" well... they cut the scene of Baela having a heartfelt conversation with her grandmother
Great reactions. You're really good at this. You always have good insights and interesting reactions because you're actually listening to the show. Seen too mamy reactors who talk through the whole thing and then don't understand the story because they talked through all the intrigue and nuance. So yeah, no worries about not talking enough. Quality over quantity.
Remember Helana predicted the beast beneath the boards
another thing about Aegon and the greens usurping the throne from Rhaenyra was that the widows law forbids any child born from the king or queens first s/o to be disinherited from their birthright(the throne) regardless of gender. So when they keep mentioning that having a girl on the throne would be illegal it’s a lie, and it would technically be VERY illegal to have Aegon be crowned.
it's not her birthright though since she didnt become the heir at birth
@@arobin6695 it becomes her birthright when she was born as his child, as the oldest child and the last living one from the kings first marriage
@@hayden-ty9fd she wasnt set to inherit the throne when she was born, Daemon was the heir. As first born son of the king, the throne is Aegon's birthright.
@@arobin6695 did you even read my original comment?? 😭
@@hayden-ty9fd what do you think a 'birthright' is? She wasn't the heir or set to inherit the throne until she was 15 so it's not her birthright.
That "sharply questioned" thing was never confirmed to mean torture him. It's just something the team green fans went with to make nyra look bad
it's unambiguously referring to torture in the book and the show didnt change the dialogue for it. rhaenyra in the book is ordering people's deaths and is quite bloodthirsty and powerhungry.
@@arobin6695 I really don't care about what happened in the books it was never confirmed that it meant torture. You Green fans went with it because you have no good reason to support Team Green so you do everything in your power to make team black look bad
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSS. JS SUBBED!! 😻
I like your energy and how perceptive you are! I'm more neutral, I have characters I like from both sides.
I'm not currently in any subs, but I think one problem is that people get very personal. Like if you like one side or a certain character, you as a whole are a misogynist ect. Some of team black is quiet something and I started to avoid the black sub altogether. Basically if someone likes any of the greens they are terrible people to them.
You can't even be neutral like me. You just get nuked by some very unhinged fans of team black. I have been told I can't be neutral, because neutral means I h@t3 all women, don't want women to have rights and think women are inferior to men. I also don't like Daemon and got attacked for it. I just left the team black sub and don't go into their spaces. It's the most toxic fandom I have ever seen and I still remember Supernatural.
Then team green faught back and now it's a toxic mess between the two.
From the team black side I like Corlys, Jace, Rhaena, Laenor and after episode 10 Rhaenyra, before episode 10 Rhaenys. In show canon I also think Rhaenyra would be much better than Aegon as a ruler.
From the green side I like Helaena, Daeron ( hopefully appears in season 2 ), show! Aemond, Alicent, Tyland.
So I'm staying neutral and don't choose a side. In the end this is a dysfuncional family and a family conflict about inheritance. Just that they are royals and have dragons. So their conflict will end in tragedy for them and almost the whole continent. I like to think of it that way, than one team vs the other team.
Team Black all day I’ve enjoyed watching your reactions can’t wait for season 2 this summer
The dragon Daemon went to see was Vermithor the dragon of King Jaehaerys the old man from the first episode
Oh The Last Of Us was a great show
Don't worry, the big brother went to look for the Starks ;)
Just because you asked nicely !
