Yes sir!! I’m hyped for this! You’re about to get all the GOT fans on your channel!! Excellent first reaction! Can’t wait for the next one. 🔥🔥🔥
Shut up
Would like to see these lads watch GoT some time. They missed some bits but still picked up on a lot and had some good banter. Brother Nowife, Grandpa Ezekiel haha
When the brother said "heir for a day", he was referring to the king's new born son who was the new heir, but then died the same day.
The king was offended because he felt his brother was mocking the death of his son.
Also he didn’t steal the dragon that’s his dragon caraxes
NON SPOILER EXPLANATIONS (Non-Got watchers)
The decision for the next heir was between the woman (Rhaenys) and the man (Viserys). Rhaenys had a better claim, but the Lords did not want a female ruler, so they gave it to the man.
Dragons: Almost* every Targaryen (mostly white haired people) have their own dragon. The golden dragon (name: Syrax) in the intro belongs to Rhaenyra (the daughter) the Red dragon (name: Caraxes) belongs to Daemon (brother/uncle). The king’s dragon died ( the skull with the candles)
The city watch is like the police. However, they were ill equipped and therefore allowed the city to fall into chaos. Otto Hightower appointed Daemon the head of the city watch, hoping to keep him away from court and making him the head of a band of losers. Daemon turned around and made the city watch a respectable organisation and started cleaning up the crime in the city.
The Hightowers :
So far we saw Otto Hightower (hand of the king) his daughter is Alicent (Rhaenyra’s bff) and his son was injured in the tourney.
The man you’re calling the Priest 🤣 is actually called a Maester (pronounced MAY- Stir- like Daemon*)
Maesters are like the doctors/advisors/postmen of the Realm. Each family has its own maester.
The choice presented to Viserys was
Both of them die
Or
We can try to save the baby.
Dragons only have respond to commands given in High Valyrian (the native language of the Targaryens, Daemon and Rhaenyra spoke it in the throne room)
Until the King provides a son, the king’s brother is the heir because females cannot inherit (proven in the intro to the show).
The heir for a day is the title Daemon gave to the baby because the baby only lived for a day.
Daemon is married to a lady of the Vale (another part of the kingdom). The dark haired girl in both the sx scene snd at the end is the same person, she’s his mistress not his wife.
and yet Rhaenyra was given the responsibility of heir. thats like saying all AA are STILL slaves to yt ppl just because it went on for 400+ years. Even AFTER being "freed" by abraham. Just cause women not being set as heir is the norm doesn't mean it can't all of a sudden stop being that way. As seen when the king makes his daughter an heir. yt ppl are so racist and dont even see it, their perspective is so jaded and skewed and genuinely feel ok with doubling down on sexism in the show and then tryna say " well the books said this, or the show said this" the KING in the show said his daughter gone be the heir his damn daughter gone be the heir end of discussion. the word unprecedented IS a word yk. it's possible, just hasn't been done yet.
shut up dude. you're adding current identity politics to a work of art that took inspiration from the middle ages.
what a brain dead take. @@Web497
My mans said a “manual c section”😂😂. Idk why that had me laughing
That scene was brutal!! 🤢🤢🤢
-Adison
So, I think Daemon might have said "heir for a day" (about the baby), but it was taken out of context and reported to the king by his worst enemy (Hightower, the dude who sent his own daughter to, ahem, comfort the king).
When we saw Daemon in the brothel, he looked sad. But it's just in his personality to make an inappropriate joke like that, because he doesn't know how else to cope.
Matt Smith, the actor who plays Daemon, said he does really love his brother, and just wants to feel that love in return. Whatever that means for this scene.
Thats what I'm saying .
Okay but Viserys did make a good point regarding that Daemon chose to have an orgy rather than grief with his family that he so “loves”
@@anthonyml6997 And Daemon said, "Everyone grieves in their own way."
I'm not saying Daemon is a good dude, but I *am* saying the show is more interesting and meaningful when you look at each of the characters through their own eyes.
Daemon was just being Daemon, not intending to hurt his brother, just to comfort himself, but his careless selfishness hurt his brother anyway.
I agree, he probably did say it but not in a mocking tone.
@@rachichi4092 Daemon could have said "Heir for a day" in a sober tone; but it was still tactless and rude for him to be partying in a brothel with his loyal men and mistress so soon after his Queen/sister-in-law and infant nephew have died.
At the end, when Daemon is with his dragon, you mentioned that the woman there was his wife, but I believe that is his mistress, who he is taking home with him.
And "heir for a day" was a reference to the newborn, who was heir for day. Daemon has never been heir for a day.
Yes, that was Daemon’s mistress Mysaria (in the white dress and in the brothel).
game of thrones and House of Dragons are definitely shows you want to pay attention to or you will miss important dialogue. They were answering the questions you guys hand while you were talking. Pausing and then talking might help, but i enjoyed the reaction non the less.
Absolutely agree! Less talking more paying attention to what’s being said.
@@ThePoshpinkscrapper They always do that. And it would have been interesting if even one of them had watched GoT.
Would have helped with a lot of explanations and emotions would have hit harder. Watching HotD first is quite alright from plot perspective, but this being a prequel show to GoT there'll be a lot of callbacks to it.
Damn. A Blind Blind Reaction. Y’all probably the only ones.
Spartan and pudgy blind reacted and started with House of the dragon. They loved it so much, they started watching Game of thrones. The discussions and predictions they have are fascinating.
Its a brutal scene showing the parallel from rheanerya and her mother convo that said childbirth is the woman's battle in this world. And to cut back and forth between men battles and woman's battles in those times. Brilliant
Also, did you notice the shape of the joust arena? what does it look like to
I think clipping the horse is out of bounds in jousting but Daemon is the King’s brother and probably immune from criticism.
Maybe not illegal, but just not honorable.
@@aegonthedragon6341 exactly. Although, Daemon doesn't currently seem too concerned with his honor. Ditching his wife in the Vale, clipping the horse in the tourney and taking his mistress back to the Vale..
Yeah, Daemon got the technical win, but as we heard, he was met with a motley of cheers and jeers.
So glad you guys are reacting to this!
They state at the beginning that there are 10 dragons at the moment. Dragons are bonded to their riders and traditionally a Targaryen baby is given an egg for their cradle. Syrax is Rhaenyra’s and Caraxes is Daemon’s.
A great little detail in the scene when the King is scolding Daemon for insulting his son. When Daemon steps forward and is blocked by the Kingsguard, the King's hand flips on the hilt of his sword. This shows more than anything said, he was ready to kill Daemon on the spot.
He couldn’t kill daemon lmao at all what you mean?
@@Caraxes_RoguePrince I didn't mean he'd be able to best him in a fight. I mean his hand switched from a holding to a ready position. Which meant he was ready to kill his brother in that moment.
@@foxyazure4272He was ready to defend or fight…. that doesn’t exactly mean ready to kill.
They showed two different dragons in episode 1. The second dragon Daemon left with was his own dragon. He didn't steal it.
1. That's the uncle's (Daemon Targaryen) mistress her name is Mysaria, the one he was clapping in the beginning of the episode. His wife - Rhea Royce is in another city named Runestone. That's where he was banished to by the king.
2. Bear in mind that the uncle (Daemon) might have said the "heir for a day" comment in a sorrowful tone not meant as a joke. And might have not clarified that with the king (Viserys Targaryen) because he was insulted that the king would think that bad of him (just a theory).
Ayo thank you RUclips for suggesting y’all to me because this was one of the funniest commentaries/reactions to this episode I’ve seen lmaooo. And it’s so refreshing to see people who haven’t watched Game of Thrones before so they’re going in extra blind. I didn’t think there were many reactors who haven’t seen it yet. You’ve gained a subscriber and I hope y’all enjoy!
Thank for giving us a chance! And welcome to the family!
Y'all needed to see game of thrones to understand the simple shit like why they got white hair, and no he wasn't stealing the dragon in the end he was hugging him it's obviously his. I suggest game of thrones so you can understand what the king was saying to his daughter.
nope. this came first timeline wise, so NO, this has got to be watched first. honestly thinking about it, it dont matter. they could even finish this season of house of the dragon, then speedrun through game of thrones before the next season of this comes out.
@@Web497 so you saw star wars episodes 1, 2, and 3, before 4, 5, and 6? I say the should watch game of thrones, since they don't understand the world built and established in Game of Throne. They don't even know the houses of Westeros.
@@Web497 Not hoe that works at all lmao
Hey gentlemen! I am sooo glad you're reacting to this one. Besides the fact that your content is always fun and entertaining, it's a good move for the channel too! Watch alongs are also an awesome idea as well if you ever have time.
nah he said "heir for a day" to clown the baby on some "ha you thought"
Dang…that’s messed up if that’s what he meant. That was his nephew too!! 🤦🏾♂️
-Adison
💯
the woman Daemon took with him, was not his wife. it was the woman he was smashing in the brothel. his wife is in runestone in the vale hundreds of miles away.
Only the Royal Family, The Targaryens, and their relatives (The Velaryons, or the black family) has silver hair and can ride dragons. It’s because they’re Valyrian (a subrace of humans w magical blood). Caraxes, the long neck dragon, is Daemons dragon. Syrax is Rhaenyra’s. They all have their own dragons.
I dont remember reading magical blood?!
@@JP0411 it’s kind of in all the books. that’s what the Blood of Old Valyria is. They used dark arts and sorcery in Valyria to bind the dragons to their blood. That’s why only ppl of Valyrian descent can mount dragons.
About the scene near the end of this episode, where the king is holding his hand over the candles. Targaryens, the royal family, have been dragonriders for millenia, and have a magical connection to dragons. This connection also makes it that they are able to handle much higher temperatures than others (but it does not make them immune from fire, despite what others may have implied). The heat of the candles probaly did not hurt the king, it may even have felt plesant.
I thought there's is zero connection in the books that Targaryens are fire proof? Dany only was during the pyre that birthed her dragons, no other time.
@@orphanedhanyou Dany was also immune to the fire in the dothraki tent with all the other khaleesi - I don't know how else to describe that scene without spoilers.
Jousting tourneys can have different rules apparently. So tripping the horse may be legal in their games but not the most practical thing to do. According to my understand you usually win the horse and the person's armor, so if you hurt the horse, it really isn't worth anything. Also it's a combo of Daemon being the prince and Viserys being weak, they're not gonna tell him anything.
Very excited to go on this journey with you guys 🥰 found your channel from your Hellbound reactions and I love your perspective in that you don’t know and have not seen Game of Thrones. Thanks for the good time!
HBO never drops all episodes at once. It’s once a week on Sundays. ☺️
Good to know! I will get Sunday's added to my calendar. Thanks for tuning in to episode 1!
-Adison
“When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.” (Cersei Lannister - GOT.) And, so here we go again.
As to the hair they are Valyrians and the silver/gold hair with purple eyes is a genetic trait.
I find Daemon interesting as he balances out that cruelty with some true vulnerability which makes me think he does possess some compassion.
(Good to see ya back!)
“Ser” is a title given to official Knights. Even King and Queens address their knights with ser. Oh and at tourneys lances are made of wood so they can break on contact. Also Queen Aema would’ve died anyways.
Doesn’t make that scene any less gross and a complete show how no one cares about women when it comes to the sake of a possible heir. You’re proving the writers point. Men don’t care about women. You only see us as incubators for your damn seed. Grow up.
@@justbeyondmythoughts You so are pathetic
@@justbeyondmythoughts Aema died ANYWAYS!! And she wasn’t much of an incubator now was she? Not a good one at least.
The other option in historical times was a fetotomy, which would have been the "save the mother" option that these writers didn't even think of.
Daemon was referring to the baby that died as being " the heir for a day "
allegedly
Hope you guys didn't miss the "Catspaw Dagger" that King Viserys showed to his daughter Rhaenyra at the end. 👈 It bears an inscription of Aegon the Conqueror's prophecy, only revealed in extreme heat: "From my blood come the prince that was promised, and his will be the song of ice and fire." 🩸🧊🔥🎼🎶
Of course they missed it, they never shut up,…….🤐
The three dragons all in the house( welcome back Brandon)
Oh yuhhh!! Thanks you! -Cadet/Brandon
I clicked so Goddamn fast... Edit: I died at, "He got a backstabber face." Sir, you are on it, I will say no more. xD
If u guys talked a lil less u wouldn't miss details...The wife was going to due regardless...So the Only choice he had was to save the baby..
Wait ! You guys need to watch game of thrones seriously ! There’s so many things y’all didn’t react to because you just didn’t know it was related to GOT
You all are so refreshing and I hope your channel goes far ❤
I actually thought you watched GOT hahaha but it’s good to see some blind blind reactions.
First time watcher, but subscribed, cos Im liking your style.
Welcome to the family!
-Adison
The melee is a different event than the jousting. Usually there is a third event of archery at these things. The melee is basically a battle royale of everyone fighting everyone with melee weapons until one man is left standing. There are prizes of gold or silver usually for each event. But like with Daemon's battle agaiinst Criston Cole, their joust can continue on the ground.
Brother Wound!
Brother wound is his name and never healing is his game!
-Adison
The King had only two options. The Queen would die in both. The child was the only one who had a chance to live.
Just botched cesarean!
In real life, you could be executed for ACCIDENTALLY hitting the horse in a joust. It was considered cruel to the horse.
Dang that's wild! -Brandon
Executed over a mistake like that is crazy!!
-Adison
@@edn yea, they took horses very seriously in medieval Europe. The words "chevalier," "ritter," and "caballero" were the French, German, and Spanish words for "knight, " and they all mean "horsemen," basically. English cavalier.
This was good. The show drops an episode every Sunday night. Great reaction! 👍
I liked this first episode more than I thought I would. Of course I have always been a bit of a nut for world building and history in fantasy/scifi books/shows. 1 EP a week is how I understand the release schedule to be.
I just found y’all and subbed. The show comes on Sunday nights at 8pm central time. It’s out once a week. Hope that helps.
The guy y’all are referring to as a priest I believe is Grand Maester Mellos. Maesters (MAY-sterr) are well educated men who give advice to a ruler of a castle. In this case, the king is advised by the Grand Maester.
The priests of the religion in Westeros are called Septons. They worship a god with seven aspects; but, the people usually just call it the Seven Gods. The Seven is a newer religion, which are the “New Gods” that’s said when someone swears an oath to “the Old Gods and the New.”
Love you guys and this reaction!
Thank you for you support 🙏🏾 -Cadet/Brandon
so dope seeing more black HOD reviewers!
ONG
These guys are fun to watch and have good insights.
@@shockwave1126 they really are. Im excited for more HOD reviews
i just finished watching episode 2 and it was great
Lmao the guy on the left was getting slapped during the birthing scene for no reason 🤣
Always enjoy ya'll reactions! I get why you'd misunderstand a lot of the movements and connections and intrigue. Despite this ya'll got a lot right and had reasonable questions and sickness to the moves and actions people were making. But your reactions were on point though, and fitting, which is why your channel is enjoyable. You mix humor, the raw streetwise sense and strength of being men and brothas.. but also not afraid to show your empathy, emotions and sense of honor and moral compass. I'm glad to see those qualities you showed when I discovered ya'll in the Wheel of Time reactions weren't just for show ;) Ya'll even caught the redeeming qualities Daemon was showing glimpses of in his love for his family(his nieces and his brother) despite his brutality. I did not notice the possible correlation between the old man whispering to Otto the Hand of the King shortly before giving the king the advice in the birthing room. I need to look at that again to make sure it's the same old man.
Ps. Dragons are bonded for the life of the rider and dragon. No one was parting that dragon from his rider, as they're protective and and emotional. You see a glimpse of it during the funeral.
Pss. If you ever react to the new Lord of the Rings, please don't listen to all these negative haters bashing the show as it's a fantasy adventure akin to Wheel of Time or Witcher and less so to stuff like Game of Thrones. They're insecure that there's a black elf, a black female dwarf queen, a brown hobbit precursor and a 3000 old Elven Queen who can fight, thinking it's impossible that in those 3000 years of conflict she never picked up a sword lol. The kind of people who search for things to label "woke" every day, several times a day. They bash it for not being 1 for 1 book to show and the interprations of an appendices section of history that has no story. A lot had to be created since the Tolkien estate only let them stay within those appendices and could not reference names or stories from other parts of the lore, unless they paid for it or was in the contract. Most of the huge amount of money they spent on the show actually went to buying the rights from the Tolkien estate, another point these people will try to bash the show for, saying "all that money" blah blah, presenting points with out context lol. They'll attack you if you like the show. The kind of people you'll get in those reactions to that huge show are more toxic than the ones you probably saw in Wheel of Time comments. They stand truly opposite ya'lls vibes and I could already see you guys sayin' hold up! lol Keep it coming guys and bless🤙🏾
First off I just want to say thanks for rocking with us! The feedback you gave really encourages us! We receive a ton of comments but when people like you put the time into a thoughtful message, those are the ones that really stick with us! 💪🏾🖤
Also thanks for that background information about the dragons that definitely gives me a better understanding.
We also did start on The Rings Of Power series and will be dropping those reaction videos soon.
-Adison
The 2nd episode of House of the Dragon has already been leaked over 12 hours before they show it on Pacific time. It's good. I think Milly (Rhaenyra) had the best acting in it.
Otto set that up!!! Yall so right!! Wow!!!
Otto aka the quarterback of foolishness...smh.
-Adison
@@edn right!!!
that wouldve been crazyyyyyyyyyyy if the family went out in one day leaving only rhaenyra being queen
Hope you keep this trio for the rest of the HOTD reactions
I couldn’t keep the trio for all of the season but I did complete the reactions all the way through the latest season! Thanks for tapping in!
-Adison
Yo nice content I subbed my guys
Welcome to the family!!
-Adison
Silver hair is a trait of Old Valyria which is why the Targaryens and Velaryons have it
George RR Martin, the creator of the GoT universe, purposely spelled “sir” with a phonetically more accurate way of spelling the word. It’s a good way to differentiate the real world from the fantasy.
And Daemon was with his mistress, not his wife. We haven't seen his wife yet; she lives in another part of the country (the Vale). 😊
get your merch here, link in the description of our videos. lol literally everybody had the same reaction to daemon jousting scene when he unhorsed otto's son everybody thought he was cheating 🤣.
Dragon like rolls royce 😭 *dying
🤣😂🤣 -Cadet/Brandon
That jousting tournament was insane bros!
It was super wild! I forgot how brutal jousting can be!
-Adison
Daemon asked for their favors during the joust: "he wants the babies?!" Lol
My man said Barry Bonds 😂🤣
Hit a home run on that mans head!!! smh 🤦🏽♂️
-Adison
How do you do that with every show you watch?!? Lol you’re guesses are… very good lol
have to watch alot of shows, with alot of the same tropes and based off context make ur inference of what will happen for a specific show. eliminating possibilities all the way down to just a few.
This is complete bullocks watching this before got , some daring stuff here
In jousting you're only allowed to aim at the other mans shield. The point is to break your lance upon the other guys shield in order to score points, but knocking the other guy off is like a knockout. Usually jousting is not that deadly. Remember that mostly noble men did it, they didn't want to die they just wanted the sport. Many did die, but usually they did not because high quality armor is really efefctive, way more than you might think based on movies.
There are people today who joust just like they did back in the day. They get beat up but they all live to do it again.
The hardest part about jousting is training a horse to ride a knight, buying all that expensive armor, and then learning how to ride a horse in that armor while also aiming your lance at another dude while taking a hit at the same time.
The brawlign where people kill each other is not a part of the game, thats just something that happend here because the King (the ref) left, so now all the cocky young dudes started brawling for pride, honor killing each other.
No that's Daemon's own dragon, Caraxes. Each member of the family has a dragon. Almost all of them are dragon riders. There's 10 dragons there.
The choice was most likely (very very likely lose the Queen and DEFINITELY lose the child - OR definitely lose the Queen and very possibly save the child.
Before this shocks you, it’s a custom of the Targaryen family to inbreed. The king and the queen were first-cousins. The old king in the beginning married his sister. And yes, white hair is a common trait of anyone who shares Targaryen blood. That’s why there’s black people with white hair. As for the dragons, most Targaryens are dragon riders and have their own dragons. That dragon at the end belonged to Daemon. And no, that woman was the girl he was with at the pleasure house. His wife lives hundreds of miles away.
Why you spoiling shut up dude.
“I wanna joust all y’all back to back” 💀 facts
No cap lol -DRE
I’m a nerd. So, if need any help with the history and Lore, tell me, I’ll be happy to help. All my friends end up asking me all the lore questions. You guys may be lost on some of it,
i was suprised you guys were watching the Game of Butts since you see everything but house of the dragon is the same way lol
they tied the 2 shows together at the end
“I didn’t desire to see that at all”
This is at the height of Targaryan power before the Dance of the Dragons 🐉 a Targaryan civil war that nearly wiped out the Targaryan line and reduced their dragons 🐉 to near extinction.
Are you planning a GoT reaction? Did I understand it right that you've not seen any of it? Happy to see you reacting to series I watch :D
Hey!! So I have not seen GoT yet but Andre has seen some. We will be doing some reactions to GoT as well but it will most likely come after we finish this season.
-Adison
Hey cuzzin watching old stuff 😊😊😊
Also the queen would have died anyway
I feel ya...but what they did was still beyond FOUL!!
-Adison
@@edn Any more Milk of the Poppy would have killed the baby, so she had to be conscious, but she may have been confused about the reality of the situation due to the amount she had already consumed. All surgery prior to the mid 1800s was done with insufficient painkiller (due to lethality), full consciousness, and no antibiotics or transfusions. We live in age of miracles.
i had to watch this season 3 times in order to be able to understand what was going on lol BUT yall are right about when they were cutting off parts of criminals as punishment and i learned that because they actually make the call outs in the scene itself, it can be hard to hear but they call out "thief" and then "rapist" , i still dont understand what the guy who lost his head did.
If i was knew to the series, i'd rather start with GOT.. Like the phrase saying 172 years before daenerys targaryen really hit deep in my heart, a nostalgic feeling u will get only by watching got first.
It’s. About. To go. DOWWWWNNNN!!!!!
Great first reaction to HotD! When are y'all going to watch the original Game of Thrones series?
Once we finish Season 1 of this we will probably start on Game of Thrones!
-Adison
episode 2 come out today
you not allowed to strike the horse so he struck the ground in front of it to startle it and it tripped
Goated reaction 🐐🤣
Preciate the love!!!
-Adison
So how much do you wanna know, and how much do you wanna go in blind lol?
Who will be the next White Walker
I don’t think they have a rule for what Daemon did at the torny since it’s really hard to do anyway do ygm
Or they do, but since he's a prince he can just do what he wants.
@@keynanvarnado7592 I dont know could be either
new episodes come on Sunday for the house of dragon
Ight cool, got that added to my weekly calendar!
-Adison
In some jousting tournaments the objective is to get the other rider off his horse past that really not too many “rules”
Oh, y’all haven’t watched GoT yet?!
May I suggest watching both GoT and HotD simultaneously? Why not do both?
Hey...I actually like the sound of that! Let me talk to the fellas and see if they would be down to do that.
-Adison
not smoke or anything related but avocado 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO...dragon smells like ...avacados....jus had dat shit for breakfast....BLESS
😂🤣😂
I initially thought Vesyrs was kind of blinded by ambition by choosing the baby over the mother, but the rewatching it this this go round, I don’t believe there was ever a choice to save the mother. The Maester said the baby was essentially turned the wrong way (feet first), and they weren’t able to turn the baby for her to push. The baby would have to come out one way or another and they would have no other choice but “surgery”. I think it was more a choice of, we can do the survey and she will pass, or we can do nothing and let them both pass.
What happened to Otto Hightower’s son after this tournament did he die cause you don’t see him in the rest of the season?? I don’t mind spoilers is from the book
They doing it every Sunday a week
We will be there!
-Adison
Remember that back in these times kings were marrying young young girls it wasn't inappropriate or strange nor was it uncommon ro marry within the family to keep bloodlines pure hence why they all have the white hair
i wonder how many people sniffed an avocado after watching this. . . does it smell like dragon?
Background, but I promise, no spoilers!:
The Queen was going to die because the baby wasn't able to come out. The decision was to cut out the baby, or drug her unconscious for the pain (which would automatically kill the baby); so try for the baby or give them both up for dead. You're being too hard on the King; as the Maester said, it was an impossible choice. Women died like that all the time.
You are also missing a lot because you didn't watch GOT: all the different "kingdoms" , which were actual kingdoms before the Targaryen ancestor Aegon conquered the 7 Kingdoms. The Targs are originally from Valyria in Essos (the East) and the ancient Valyrians tamed the dragons. When Valyria was destroyed by the mysterious "Doom" the Targs escaped to the island of Dragonstone and lived there until Aegon came along and conquered Westeros with 3 dragons (the other 2 ridden by his sister wives).
The Targaryens (at least the really high born ones) have traditionally married brother and sister(s), or uncles with nieces and aunts with nephews, to keep the bloodline pure which is why so many of them have the trait of white hair. However, incestuous marriage is not normal for the rest of Westeros.
Each of the powerful Targs have their own dragons, so Daemon wasn't stealing his dragon. Also, that wasn't Daemon's wife (who he calls the "bronze bitch" because she is presumably red-haired and from the Vale (so not a Targ and clearly an arranged marriage he did not want -- virtually all high born marriages are arranged, if love grows then good for you). The woman he introduced to the dragon was the prostitute from the brothel, and someone who he will never, ever marry.
The dream of Aegon, the Song of Ice and Fire, is the subject of Game of Thrones which begins 189 years in the future, but no one knows the timeline, so the knowledge is passed from monarch to heir in order to be prepared. However, 172 years in the future, the Targaryens are overthrown and knowledge of this prophecy dies out before it can be passed on because the King and Crown Prince were both killed before either could have passed on that info to anyone else. Although the usurpers would probably have disbelieved them anyway because the Targs have a long tradition of mental instability due to all their inbreeding.
This story is set during the Golden Age of the Targaryen Dynasty, and the events of this story will ultimately lead to the end of that Golden Age and sow the seeds of its collapse a century and a half later.
Aemma would have died either way, but you are absolutely supposed to judge Viserys for the lack of choice he gave Aemma over her own body. It might have been the norm, but it’s a patriarchal norm, and was absolutely intentional on the writers’ part.
