Emma did an interview with GQ about the choking scene, and gives her insight on it. So they and Matt had discussed the emotions and motivations of Daemon and Rhaenyra going into the choking. And essentially it’s a power play that Rhaenyra ultimately ‘won’. Daemon was technically Viserys’ heir before Rhaenyra was declared heir, since Viserys had no sons. Hearing that Viserys never told him this prophecy makes him rejected by him all over again, from beyond-the-grave. For Rhaenyra, this is her final vindication, that she truly is the one chosen and that Daemon was never even considered. So even tho he choked her, she feels that that’s all he can do, physically retaliate, but doesn’t change that she ‘won’ even if he’s willing to actually kill her, which he isn’t despite the violence. Also it’s a dark callback to Ep 2, where Rhaenyra DID challenge Daemon to kill her and ‘be done with all this bother’ for precisely the reason that she was his rival as heir. Ultimately it’s not so much being the heir that he cares about, not having Viserys’ approval is his main trigger. So on top of their whole incest and age-gap relationship being complicated already, add being pseudo ‘sibling rivals’ to the mix for Viserys’ approval. If it’s some consolation, Emma and Matt feel that up till that point, Daemon had never been violent towards Rhaneyra during their marriage. It punctuates just how much being ‘rejected’ by Viserys again hurts him that he crosses the line he otherwise would never cross. It might be Daemon does regret his reaction later, but since he has the emotional maturity of an irate cockatoo, he’ll likely never admit it or apologise in so many words.
I love that interview I also think like Matt Smith said About Daemon he’s very solitary and I don’t think he can emotionally go there thinking about what he did to Rhae and people should know that he never touched her like that before it’s not excusing what he did but it’s more understanding why and that’s it a one time thing this isn’t a pattern with them and everyone under emotional distress can do something they never thought they would or can lash out good or bad person
Another thing most people haven't commented on is just how frightening it would be for Aemond to realize he doesn't truly have control over Vhagar. I wonder if Aemond won't have a bit of fear towards Vhagar now? For a dragon rider, to realize that you are only riding at the dragon's permission and at any time that permission can be revoked must be terrifying.
The second oldest and second biggest dragon in the world, probably at least, one of the wild dragons is near it's size and there is no record of when it hatched but Vermithor is thought to be older and bigger and easier to taim as it's previously had a rider
Yea Vermithor is the second biggest dragon alive on record. But supposedly the cannibal was older than Balerion the black dread since it was already at dragon stone when the Targeryans arrived.
@@AlexGonzalez-tx8qs: Well, so goes the tales of inhabitants of Dragonstone, but we can't really know whether or not those tales are true. So that "supposedly" is quite supposed indeed; for all we know Cannibal might even be younger than Vermithor in reality.
I think you forget that Daemon was Viserys heir for nearly ten years before Rhaenyra was named, and he still didn't tell him about the prophecy. It means Viserys never really acknowledged Daemon as being worthy, which Daemon of course took as another rejection that hits his emotional complex when it comes to his brother and he lashed out at Rhaenyra for it.
Let's not forget that viserys thought that he was going to get a boy (which died...) and exiled daemon just after, before he could accept him (in his mind and heart) as heir and tell him the tale.... Maybe he did never thought of him as heir but we are (i think) overthinking it :) Daemon was never official named heir since Aemma was tryin to have a son, and was pregnant multiple times in that period.
@@Mrsnowduff naming an heir isnt a common thing, normally it follows the typical male primogeniture line. Barring viserys having a living son, by law and tradition, Daemon was prince of dragonstone and heir to the iron throne up until Rhaenyra was named
I love how you guys both watched the last two episodes blind, made the reactions even better. I can't wait for season 2, this show has been absolutely phenomenal and the nuanced characters and writing is so refreshing, I love it so much! Also that shot of Vhagar outside in the rain has given me chills every single time I've seen it, it's straight out of a monster movie like Godzilla. I'm so scared for all the chaos she's probably going to cause next season lol.
Daemon never wanted the throne and still doesn’t he wants Rhaenyra to actually be angry about what they did when people fight dirty you can’t take the high road you’ll just fall from a higher point but she also should have just told him let me find out our Allies so I know what we are working with FIRST
This solidified Aemond as the character I’m most interested in going forward. They have given him layers and made me excited to see where his character goes
I’m still trying to figure out the layers when we didn’t see anything before this but him fighting and basically saying he wants to be King I need to See more before I see layers and he did what he did on purpose and his ego is so huge he thought he could just do that and Vhagar a war dragon wouldn’t attack especially when that’s what Vhagar was raised to do
and whats interesting about him? i dont get the hype, i would get it if he actually intented to kill luke, but holding a grudge for YEARS for losing an eye when they all were kids, betting mad at luke laughing in episode 8, chasing him on a WAR DRAGON to take his eye and then "accidentally" killing him makes no sense, it just makes him look stupid because he cant tame a dragon he had for years, whereas both rhaenyra and daemon have strong bond with their dragons
@@hopeaway9485 Vhaegar isn’t just any dragon. It’s one of the oldest dragons alive. Came to Westeros with Aegon. Of course he hasn’t tamed her. He was playing a kids game with a dragon who knows nothing but war. Viserys said the real illusion is that the Targaryens control the dragons. They are still animals with animal instincts. The person who thinks they control any animal is delusional. And that’s the trap Aemond fell in to. What I love about Aemond is the fact that he yearns for the throne, but still does his duty. He wants Aegons spot, but continues to help his mother, and by association, he’s helping Aegon. The interesting part is, how long can he do his duty before his own aspirations bubble to the surface and explode. If you aren’t excited for the same thing, that’s ok. This is just me personally
@@headphones2006 and you are wrong, this show is fantasy, dragons are not just animals, they are MAGICAL creatures that breathe fire, and only people with valyrian blood can tame them, this is lore, i'm not making it up. the bond between a dragon and their rider is strong. did you not see how vhagar literally obeyed laena and killed her? because that was her rider. also don't use that quote by viserys to try and further your argument, that quote only proves viserys is not very competent as a king, he was clearly weak and stupid and what does he know about dragons anyway he only rode balerion once, he is not into dragons, he has no targaryen fire in him, unlike daemon and rhaenyra.
I support women’s rights, but I also support women’s wrongs. Everything Rhaenyra does is completely justified, and I will gladly stand behind her choices as she commits war crimes. I hope she goes completely unhinged in S2, I want her to burn everything and everyone. Aemond is toast, and I hope they turn Vhagar into armor for Rhaenyra and her side. 🖤🔥🐉 Also RIP sweet Visenya 💔
Daemon had permission, Rhaenyra said to Corlys that Daemon was doing something important. Rhaenyra didn’t marry Daemon to then not allow him to help her.
I don't blame Rhaenyra for sending her son Lucerys to storms end, storms end is close and the chances for Aemond to have been there was very small, Aemond could have easily been at House Stark or at the Tally's instead. I think it is just pure bad luck that Aemond happened to be there already. If any of the other greens was at storms end none of this would happen because the realm was still in peace that also why Rhaenyra sent her children because the realm still in peace and they were send as messengers not as negotiators or as warriors. Neither Daemon and Rhaenys was able to go instead because they had their own errands to run. So sad that Aemond and Lucerys both lost control over their dragons. And if Aemond did not tease Lucerys then none of this shit would have happened. Aemond just started a war and he knows it.
I watched an interview with GRR Martin that was recorded the day after the finale was aired. From what he said, it won't be quite 2 years before season two drops. According to him, season two should drop in the Spring of 2024, about 18 months from now. Also, I did a little research on the dragon Daemon was singing to, his name is Vermithor. He is 100 years old and at one time was ridden by King Jaehaerys the Wise, the king you saw at the beginning of the first episode who called the Great Counsel to name his heir. Vermithor has not had a rider in quite a long time, not since King Jaehaerys died. He is a huge dragon, almost as big as Vhaegar. I have not read the books, but I'm assuming Vermithor will probably play a prominent role in season two. One more thing, I discovered you guys at the very start of HoTD watching different reactions, and you guys have become one of my favorite reaction channels. You guys are witty, funny and really give great analysis of the subject at hand. Looking forward to your continuation of Stranger Things!
@@theshamelist Daemon's little recount of "their" dragons is very important and very informative for us as audiences... That dragon was indeed Vermithor, I believe he is the 3rd oldest dragon right now but the 2nd in size, like guitarman said... He is called "The Bronze Fury", even tho he has grown a little stale with all of these years inactive... There are still a few other riderless dragons on Dragonstone, quite big dragons: Silverwing is almost as big as Vermithor, Sheepstealer almost as big... And well, then there is "The Cannibal", but we don't talk about The Cannibal 🤣 The thing is that, while the blacks have indeed a bunch of small dragons; the oldest (Vhagar) and the 2nd oldest dragons right now are actually on the greens side... The 2nd oldest is Haelena's dragon, Dreamfyre, a female dragon that is over 100 years old; older than Vermithor but nevertheless a little smaller probably due to being locked up in the dragonpit for so long... They haven't actually talked much about her and they've only actually showed her twice and not in any detail; in episode 6 when Aemond goes down in the dragon pit, the huge dragon that spits fire is Dreamfyre, and in Episode 7 I believe, after Alicent and the green go back in the boat to kingslanding, you can see Aemond taking off in Vhagar and join 2 other dragons in the sky, that would be Haelena on Dreamfyre and Aegon on Sunfyre
@@joenobody5631 What eggs? The ones that have been placed on the cradle of all of Rhaenyra, Alicent or Daemon's children?... They come from different female dragons; they haven't explained much about dragon reproduction, but we know from episode 8 that for example Syrax had 3 brand new eggs, those would probably go to Rhaenyra's children with Daemon if they don't already have dragons... But we have to imagine that every now and then, female dragons like Syrax, Meleys, Dreamfyre, Silverwing and maybe even Vhagar; they lay a few batches of eggs and they either put them in the cradles of Targaryen new born or if there isn't any new kids they put them in warming chambers to keep the eggs warm and comfortable waiting We have already seen and heard about Syrax's eggs, so safe bet is that most of the baby dragons you see in the show, the ones with 'the strong boys', are mostly hers... for the baby dragons that team green has, the safe bet is probably Dreamfyre, since she is also in the dragonpit and she is now bonded with Haelena... Back in dragonstone and Driftmark, eggs like the one that hatched Seasmoke for Laenor or more recently Moondancer for Baela, would've probably come from Meleys or Silverwing, but there is also a chance that Baela and Rhaena's eggs came from Vhagar, since she was her mother's dragon and they were traveling the world... But like I said, we don't know much about it, maybe Vhagar is too old to be laying eggs... But you get the idea, all of the eggs and baby dragons that we see probably come from the 4 or 5 female dragons around
People only see the numbers 2022 to 2024 but don’t think in months it’s only going to be about a year and a half they’ve said this before they’re shooting for the latest April 2024
Best HOTD reactors by far. Jacqui one of very few people to catch the 3rd dragon flying out was Meleys. Vermithor is an unclaimed dragon. I really hope we get to see the wild ones The Cannibal, Sheepstealer and Grey Ghost.
The one thing that makes me mad about this show is that Daemon consoled his daughters when Laena died and his scene on the beach here is longer and so emotional and they chose to stay on the choking scene and they show him walking away from his daughters from the hug they cut from that scene. If u look closely Daemon is crying the whole time he walks to Rhaenyra he wipes his tears with one hand while his other is on his sword showing the two sides I love my family and I will murder anyone who hurts them.
In answer to the "Can we breathe above the clouds"? question, the answer is yes -- if they're low to mid-level clouds, which are around between 6500 feet up to and beyond 10,000 feet (Beyond 10,000 feet, humans generally need supplemental oxygen). RUclips has videos of para-gliders who are riding over clouds, in scenes much like we saw here. That being said, we know that certain Targaryens have dragon-like abilities - like being fire-proof, for one - so if dragons can fly at higher altitudes (I don't know if they can or not) there's certainly reason to think their riders can also.
Corlys : "We shall cut all seaborn travel and trade to Kinglanding." Jackie : "Yeah starve them!" Hightower and Tyrells who control the most fertile region in westeroes : Hmmmmm....
Daemon is definitely claiming the second dragon Vermithor, previously ridden by king Jaehaerys. The Claim is possible based off of blood sacrifice of his child which he mentions in the song translation from Valyrian: Fire breather Winged leader But two heads To a third sing From my voice: The fires have spoken And the price has been paid With blood magic With words of flame With clear eyes To bind the three To you I sing As one we gather And with three heads We shall fly as we were destined Beautifully, freely
The translation has been confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own). In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation: Fire breathes, winged leader but two heads For a third to sing From my voice: The fires spoke And the price has been paid with blood magic With words of fire with clear eyes To tie the three for you i sing As one we come together And with three heads We'll fly like we were meant to beautifully, freely In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted not to and as he is showing in the series that he is sorry, the name of Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be visenya In the book Aemond he kills Luke because he wants to and when he gets home he celebrates and Aegon and alicent they celebrate luke's death different from the series they put it as an accident that the Two lost control of the dragons in the book there is no such thing as losing control of the dragons they spoiled everything in the series but anyway Aemond killed Luke he could have prevented it It was just him not following Luke but that asshole Aemond went after the kid now he's going to bear all the consequences now l' m wondering how they are they going to do this in the series because in the book the greens are all happy with luke's death for alicent, aegon and even aemond so i'm wondering how they are going to do it in the series because the writers put it as if it was an accident and that aemond didn't wanted to kill Luke unlike the book where he kills Luke because he wants to, I didn't like that much they did it just to make people feel sorry for the greens in my opinion, In the book Aemond kills Luke because he wanted to kill Luke different from the series that showed that it was an "Accident" but depending on how Aemond was and blamed for Luke's death he could have avoided it An example was just he didn 't follow Luke then he wouldn't kill Luke anymore like Aemond is a donkey, imbecile is an idiot he did shit and now the greens will pay for everything they did Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming of a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection with their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns the whole transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they made Daenarys Daemon as crazy as it gets, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping on the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was at her most vulnerable and it wasn't easy.. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and the wife of Viserys died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. The scene on the beach was much longer of him on the beach Matt the actor he shot a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is not no saint anymore he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra just unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him much, i think the reason daemon didnt go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he feared having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her that way. When he dropped to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to get that baby out so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome... Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition. we books Alicent she hates Rhaenyra she was always jealous of Rhaenyra so much that I wish rhaenyra's death no and as in the series it shows that alicent is like that and because we books she does things because she because she is a bad person Let's see the losses Rhaenyra lost mother and father and daughter and son and Daemon lost father and mother in childbirth and also lost his wife who is Laena and son and now he lost brother and daughter and two other children They are suffering, but each one of their own ways, the daemon starts preparing for war because he knows Otto very well and he is afraid of losing his family One thing I say is that the two really love each other rhaenyra she can't survive without the daemon They are the best couple like it or not they are everyone's popular Daemyra forever Emma Darcy who plays Rhaenyra she says that the daemon never laid a hand on Rhaenyra that this was the first time that Rhaenyra her character didn't care much because she knows that the daemon did that and Because he's angry and he's letting his emotion out and she also says which character of hers cares the most about what she just found out that the daemon doesn't know about prophecy because Rhaenyra I thought the daemon knew because he was heir to viserys for 10 years that's why she put a smile on the side of her mouth because she just found out that her father always chose her and Rhaenyra had her doubts if her father wanted her as heir remembers episode 2 when Rhaenyra talks to Alicent poise now after years he got her answer The daemon must be sad because it's his brother and he just found out that he was never chosen and that brother never trusted him enough to tell him and that's more heartbreaking A script for the first season came out that HBO thought of putting in the story a scene that the viserys was thinking of telling the daemon then he starts talking to the daemon but then gives up only that they They didn't put this scene unfortunately I think the biggest reason people didn't like the scene of Daemon smothering Rhaenyra is because he's supposed to be a bad guy to the greens, but the protector of his family. Daemon isn't a saint, but he's definitely not a villain. He does a lot of bad things, but he's a gray character, and loving his family and protecting them is one of his redeeming qualities and some writers are trying to take that away from him. There are two teams, the Green Team that belongs to Alicent and the Black Team that belongs to Rhaenyra, I hope to see Rhaenyra with fire in her eyes in the second season, The Greens will pay for everything they did
King Aegon got crowned in usurper way they lied about the fact that Viserys named Aegon his heir, Hightowers got innocent people killed who stood up for Rhaenyra and they forced innocent people into the dragonpits for Aegon's coronation.
Great reaction. Team Red/Black has the heart but team Green has people. Please .. please ... please react to The Sandman, based on Neil Gaiman's graphic novels. I know it is a series you will both love. Also, another Neil Gaiman miniseries you would absolutely like is Good Omens. If you haven't seen it, your fans would love to see you react to it.
Before I even knew anything I trusted Jacerys's trip to the Vale And winterfell before I trusted storms end and the damn baratheons , and for the way things went down, I think the wrong brothers went to the wrong place because Jace has a strong backbone where Luc does not
As a parent.... why would you send you children/heirs to your throne, on a diplomatic mission, with little to no experience? And, why did luc land at storms end knowing Aemond one eye, was already there? He saw that godzilla looking dragon outside! He knew who the rider was! Not to mention, he is still pissed about that one eye? Cmon... he should of turned around in mid-air and, took his ass back home!
Vhagar is big , but balerion is 3x more , and balerion died at 203 years old , BUTTT cannibal still alive and he is more bigger and older then balerion he have 35 more years then balerion and he survives all dance salvage dragon
I'm curious as to why it's a sapphire, though. Wouldn't Aemond want to choose an emerald, for his support of his mother's House? It would be cool if he had like this collection of eye ball sized gemstones to coordinate with his outfits so he looks fabulous at all times.
@@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289 it's a Blue Sapphire. We can Cleary see , no pun intented. Sapphire is a more Precious Gemstone than Emerald, which is also very impressive. However the durability, Worth and beauty of Sapphire is known amongst the ages. (Heart of the Ocean, Titanic? Lol.) Yet that was a Blue Sapphire in his eye to answer your question. Also it's deep blue looks striking in his socket.
The dragon that daemon was singing to is thought to be vermithor which would be jaherys' dragon (rhaynes dad who named viserys heir...viserys' being rhayneras dad)
The whole season was great, but the last 3 or 4 episodes were tremendous. Really came into it's own. Sucks we have to wait 2 years for the next episodes with such a cliffhanger.
The Daemon put his hand on Rhaenyra was it because of the prophecy because viserys didn't tell him (this doesn't exist in the books the Writers vented in the series) I understand the fight we both have because they don't talk like that on the same page, make the daemon put his hand on Rhaenyra, I think that was over the top, it wasn't necessary and the moment the daemon lets go of rhaenyra, you can see in the eyes of the daemon and Rhaenyra that they are both suffering and Rhaenyra says she never told you that and she smirks because she's realizing that the viserys chose her as heir to the throne because viserys didn't tell the daemon and Rhaenyra thought viserys had told him because the daemon had 10 years as heir and Viserys and after those 10 years, viserys never told him so he keeps imagining in the daemon's head how my brother who i loved so much never trusted me right now the daemon must be very hurt because daemon always wanted to show his worth to viserys and he loves his brother the daemon and a person who he has a hot head, he is proud, but he also has feelings, but sometimes he ends up expressing it wrong, then the daemon loses another child because he already lost one, then he discovers that his brother died Then later he discovers that his brother never trusted him and that it hurts his heart and daemon is feeling all of this but he ends up putting everyone else these feelings in rhaenyra who is not to blame it's the moment he lets go she sees his eyes of sadness and before he leaves if you notice he looks down he looks at her belly Then he remembers the daughter they lost, Daemon didn't stay with Rhaenyra because he didn't want to make the same choice he made with Laena the daemon has truama in fact the daemon always had for those who don't know the daemon's mother died in childbirth so the daemon already has a trauma because he never wanted to have children, so the daemon didn't want to be with Rhaenyra so he wouldn't make the same choice there when Rhaenyra loses the child Rhaenyra Stays with the daughter since the daemon goes to the beach to suffer there that reminded me in the first episode of the throne scene there is a daemon and viserys is the daemon tells viserys that each person suffers in a different way, and it reminds me of the scene the two are suffering each alone but rhaenyra and daemon are grieving for their daughter unfortunately we didn't see much of the other side of the daemon this season because the writers and HBO preferred not to show in my opinion the most wronged is Matt Smith Mano he made several scenes of the daemon showing the sentimental side of the daemon him hugging his daughters is him on the beach grieving for the death of his daughter with Rhaenyra and he spends hours and hours on the floor grieving for visenya's death and we simply received in this episode just a quick scene of him grieving for his daughter in the book it says a lot that the daemon is a great father and that he loved his two Wives Laena and Rhaenyra unlike the series which showed very little and I think it's really sad because they're not showing the real daemon Of course he's hot headed and he's crazy but man he loves his family he would never hurt his family until the actor himself says that the daemon would give his life for Viserys is Rhaenyra and very sad what they are doing to this character. The Scene at the end was matt's idea he had an idea that who should break the news of luke's death should be the daemon there the writers and emma give up the idea there they did, if you notice it at the time of the scene when daemon enters in the room rhaenyra's attention goes all to the daemon because she knows that something has happened and on the way the daemon is approaching rhaenyra you notice that he puts a hand on his face indicating that he cried there when he got closer to rhaenyra he didn 't even be able to look us in her eyes I'm sorry for Rhaenyra, she lost her father and didn't even say goodbye to her father and didn't even go to the funeral, it's not even known if it was because she didn't attend Viserys' funeral and even more Rhaenyra lost two children Luke is Visenya, In the Book Rhaenyra She blames the greens for the death of her baby and if you think she's right because she lost the baby it was because of the greens, her own brother stole her throne is Alicent hid the death of Viserys , Rhaenyra is pregnant, we all know that one woman cannot take too much emotion or stress because it is dangerous for the baby and she got the news right away. She lost the throne, Losing her father was a lot of emotion and stress for Rhaenyra all because of the Greens, so yes, the Greens were to blame for her daughter's death, she would be the first daughter Rhaenyra would have with Daemon. 3:10 Daemon thinks that viserys was murdered because the greens made Aegon king right away and saved all the people in prison, not to mention that viserys is dead and this is all suspect, so of course Daemon or anyone else will think that viserys was murdered because the greens hid the death of viserys and they quickly put Aegon on the throne and when that nobody says Nothing to Rhaenyra so it's very suspicious so I understand Daemon's side of he's upset and angry is that now he wants revenge is we can't forget that Daemon and Rhaenyra are in Mourning but I also understand Rhaenyra's side of not wanting to go to war, what She was doing is right, a king has to keep the peace and Rhaenyra was trying everything not to go to the war and not having blood But now it's too late now it's war Rhaenyra has lost many things and now she has to fight for her Throne and for the lives of her children 4:17 what Rhaenyra said in that scene to me doesn't make sense she said that Daemon is crazy and that he's fighting his own war if you remember right in episode 7 Rhaenyra tells Daemon that she needs him and that she couldn't do this alone , so she's asking him for help, here comes this scene where Rhaenyra says Daemon is waging his own war for me It doesn't make sense, Daemon is protecting his family, he's doing what she asked him to do in episode 7, I think it was a Script Hole because it doesn't make sense in my opinion 7:01 This scene with Rhaenyra was very beautiful, you can see that it was very different from Aegon, the two scenes are different, the music in both scenes is very good, no one can deny that, in the scene with Aegon, no one gets on their knees for him, in the scene with Rhaenyra everyone they get on their knees because she is the true heir to the Iron Throne, and I also noticed the reference in episode 8 when the crown of viserys fell and it was Daemon who placed the crown on viserys and now it is Daemon putting the crown on his wife his Queen 9:36 It makes reference to Episode 2, the difference between the two scenes and that in Episode 2 Rhaenyra was on Otto's side, It is now in this scene that Rhaenyra is on Daemon's side 10:50 This scene references Episode 1 when Rhaenyra rips off a piece of the Book and gives it to Alicent. My favorite characters from HOTD I have many more My favorite characters in First place is Second place is Rhaenyra is Daemon, What are your favorite characters? I hope you post your reaction to the second season of House of the Dragon
@@derkek7084 this is westeros 😂😂😂😂😂😂 my guy!! Daemon is her most experience war fighter she has that is 100% in her side. But he still gonna make moves
It will be very interesting to see if Aemond tells his family that it was kind of an accidental situation; he should have known better, that his nuclear weapon would act like a nuclear weapon. Or will he say he meant to do it as a callus way of starting the war that the women didn't want to start yet.
The best episode of the show! Rhaenyra is my favorite Targaryen! I loved Daenerys before she killed everyone for no good reason, she could have just kill Cersei for Missandei & her dragon! She wanted the throne so bad! 🤦🏼♀️ Nope Rhaenyra is my favorite! She lost her dad, her baby, her son, the throne her dad gave her, never wanted to fight, now she can kill anybody she wants I'm 100% behind her! Not the same situation at all! 🤷🏼♀️ #TeamBlack 🖤 And what can we say about Emma D'Arcy... Wow So talented! ❤🔥🙌🏻
I like your videos. Make an análisys of the whole season. I would like to hear it. Now you have more information: how was made, directed, the performaces, the choices of actors, or why Paddy Considine was not nominated for the coming awards. You two can do this. So Hope you do It.
Daemon knows what he is doing. They have been expecting war for a while and he is a knight. Except, they made Rhaenyra far more passive here with that stupid book page scene. In the books she is crowned and she says Otto and Alicent are traitors (Otto would never have left alive had he gone to Dragonstone), but she will spare her siblings if they bend the knee, which contradicts everything Otto always said about her. But if Aegon keeps her from her throne, she will have his head. Aegon's reaction to Her coronation is very on brand, I don't know if it will be a spoiler or they will also change that. The scene of the prophecy makes no sense, Daemon was heir apparent for almost a decade in the show and both Daemon and Viserys know that heirs are never a sure thing. Their grandfather had 13 kids, 3 men well into adulthood. His first heir, Aemon, their uncle, and his second, Baelon, their father, died unexpectedly, so did most of his daughters (their mom Alyssa during childbirth of their sibling Aegon who dies before his first birthday), his living son was an archmaster who didn't want the throne because of his vows, and so the Council of 101 happened. Daemon was the one that fought for Viserys' claim, even gathering a small army if a fight against Corlys for Laenor's claim was to happen. Viserys believed the prophecy to be above all else in the show, for 9 years he was sure of a son and he never considered Rhaenyra his heir until he exiles Daemon. He would have had to tell Daemon the moment Jaehaerys died, because you never know when you'll die, even if he was sure he would have a son. It's duty and he follows duty. The prophecy almost could have been lost before, since the second king died and his son was usurped and killed by his uncle. It's just a plot hole scene to cause the conflict of Rhaenyra not wanting the throne if there was to be war (she did, they were traitors and they desecrated her father's body and hid his death from her). Luke's death is just the fuse to start the violence.
She really doesn’t she was trying to breathe but there’s a lot more going on there the questions of why didn’t Viserys tell him a Daemon truly loved him and then finds out he didn’t trust him and why is she being so passive when they’re literally going to kill her add in the losses they’ve both had already it’s just a lot
Sending her sons was a good strategy in my mind! Aemond is the stupid one who started a war! All of this is his fault! All of this because he lost an eye but he lost an eye because of himself! He's always looking for war but he didn't want to kill him come on! 🤦🏼♀️ #TeamBlack 🖤
Vhagar realized the Targaryen wasn't STRONG in Luce? Last time I had a post with historical symbolism of the coronation. This time I got nothing cause there's only 10 mfs in that joint 😂. When you gotta buy your kid the Burger King crown so they don't throw tantrums 😂😂. Jk Jk. It's a very deliberate contrast to the cold, formal & autocratic coronation of Aegon II. This feels heartwarming. Robb Stark S1 vibes, fit for the chosen one after all. It's more authentic, grassroots. more "of the soil". GRRM has a twisted way with these things. Don't forget. The "folk" will have their say. Anyway, great season. Every actor was phenomenal. As a Green, my S2 wishlist is to see more Mommy's Favorite War Criminal slash Milf Hunter Aemond! Give Criston his tradwife Ali already! Them two staring at each other's soul was peak romance lol. My queen so pure she thinks WAP is worship & prayer 💚
The chocking scene was disgusting and they ruined daemon's character... This never happened in the book...and daemon would never behave like this with rahnerya... Infact opposite he would kill anyone who dares to touch her😶 Also about the war...that was wrong as well...in the book he was the one ..who wanted to know about any diplomatic solutions before all out war😶😶😶😶😶 Both rahnerya and daemon wanted the throune equally.... They ruined his character in episode 10...wtf is wrong with showrunner 😶
I am sooo relieved that Daemon never harmed Rhaenyra. He seems like the protective type to want to kill anyone if they even attempted to harm his wife/niece. He's violent, yes, but despite his faults he loves his family and wife. He never loved Rhea Royce, but he didn't kill her either, she genuinely died in a hunting accident.
That’s literally in line with his character. Killing anyone who wants to harm her is not contradictory with unleashing his rage, anger and frustration on her. Look for your twilight romance somewhere else
@@thevisionary5135 seems like u are biased or blind 😂 anyone who has read the book knows exactly what I said... With facts... Or do u think u know the characters more than the author himself... Who literally created all of them 😂 No one is looking for twilight romance here ... anyone with eyes and able to read the books knows these stuffs... So BACK OFF 🎆
I never wrote a comment but the person on the left is so beautiful and his make-up suits him so well and i have loved your reactions of HOTD during these 10 weeks, definitely gonna miss it!
She thought Viserys told Daemon abou the ASOIAF dreabecause, technically Daemon was the legitimate heir to Viserys until he had a son. Thos was the law from the Great Council. Viserys brok law by naming Rhaenyra as his heir .
“The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion” - Viserys. HoTD trying to tell a nuanced story about dragons and dragonriders. Purists who believe lack of analytical thinking can be compensated by pedantry “HAHA LOLZ IT’S ALL A MISCOMMUNICATION”.The dragons acting on their own is executive producer George’s idea. This is 100% him. More than a few of the GoT channels did a good job breaking down why dragons acting on their own accord is justified and makes the story more intriguing. The channel Hill’s Alive did a video essay documenting various George interviews over a span of almost 20 years to show how this was a long time in the making. I don’t know where the dragon thing is going, but I’m hooked. And finally, sorry stans, but F&B Daemon is far more evil than he has been portrayed in the show so far.
binge watching HOTD reactions to fill the void it left by ending season 1 and stumbled upon your channel and just HAD to comment at how beautiful you both are! omg
Lucerys fought a dragon like a Targaryen, died at sea like a Velaryon and was brave like a Strong
Underrated comment
A stands for the beginning, C for comment and WOLF as his symbol. ac Wolf.
Totally agree
Oh, I'm SO not over seeing everyone copy and paste this meme. 😮💨🥱
They don't actually show Lucerys's body, so it is possible, that he jumped off at the last second, and landed on a giant pile of fluffy pillows.
Unless they diverge from the novel, that's a wrap. Nah bro. Luc is dead. Trust me on this one.
@@dreaded0060 I think he’s just joking my dude
lol. Dude literally fell from the clouds, death is guaranteed.
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half
Agreed. Maybe santa claus caught him on his sleigh
'That's the look of war.'
Nailed it. In the script regarding this moment it stated that 'Rhaenyra turned around with war in her eyes.'
😂😂😂
Emma did an interview with GQ about the choking scene, and gives her insight on it. So they and Matt had discussed the emotions and motivations of Daemon and Rhaenyra going into the choking. And essentially it’s a power play that Rhaenyra ultimately ‘won’. Daemon was technically Viserys’ heir before Rhaenyra was declared heir, since Viserys had no sons. Hearing that Viserys never told him this prophecy makes him rejected by him all over again, from beyond-the-grave.
For Rhaenyra, this is her final vindication, that she truly is the one chosen and that Daemon was never even considered. So even tho he choked her, she feels that that’s all he can do, physically retaliate, but doesn’t change that she ‘won’ even if he’s willing to actually kill her, which he isn’t despite the violence. Also it’s a dark callback to Ep 2, where Rhaenyra DID challenge Daemon to kill her and ‘be done with all this bother’ for precisely the reason that she was his rival as heir.
Ultimately it’s not so much being the heir that he cares about, not having Viserys’ approval is his main trigger. So on top of their whole incest and age-gap relationship being complicated already, add being pseudo ‘sibling rivals’ to the mix for Viserys’ approval.
If it’s some consolation, Emma and Matt feel that up till that point, Daemon had never been violent towards Rhaneyra during their marriage. It punctuates just how much being ‘rejected’ by Viserys again hurts him that he crosses the line he otherwise would never cross. It might be Daemon does regret his reaction later, but since he has the emotional maturity of an irate cockatoo, he’ll likely never admit it or apologise in so many words.
I love that interview I also think like Matt Smith said About Daemon he’s very solitary and I don’t think he can emotionally go there thinking about what he did to Rhae and people should know that he never touched her like that before it’s not excusing what he did but it’s more understanding why and that’s it a one time thing this isn’t a pattern with them and everyone under emotional distress can do something they never thought they would or can lash out good or bad person
Another thing most people haven't commented on is just how frightening it would be for Aemond to realize he doesn't truly have control over Vhagar. I wonder if Aemond won't have a bit of fear towards Vhagar now? For a dragon rider, to realize that you are only riding at the dragon's permission and at any time that permission can be revoked must be terrifying.
The dragon Daemon is singing to is Vermithor, King Jaehaerys' dragon.
The second oldest and second biggest dragon in the world, probably at least, one of the wild dragons is near it's size and there is no record of when it hatched but Vermithor is thought to be older and bigger and easier to taim as it's previously had a rider
@@YearRoundHibernater:
They seemed to honor the color palette of the Bronze Fury.
Yea Vermithor is the second biggest dragon alive on record. But supposedly the cannibal was older than Balerion the black dread since it was already at dragon stone when the Targeryans arrived.
@@AlexGonzalez-tx8qs:
Well, so goes the tales of inhabitants of Dragonstone, but we can't really know whether or not those tales are true. So that "supposedly" is quite supposed indeed; for all we know Cannibal might even be younger than Vermithor in reality.
I think you forget that Daemon was Viserys heir for nearly ten years before Rhaenyra was named, and he still didn't tell him about the prophecy. It means Viserys never really acknowledged Daemon as being worthy, which Daemon of course took as another rejection that hits his emotional complex when it comes to his brother and he lashed out at Rhaenyra for it.
Let's not forget that viserys thought that he was going to get a boy (which died...) and exiled daemon just after, before he could accept him (in his mind and heart) as heir and tell him the tale.... Maybe he did never thought of him as heir but we are (i think) overthinking it :)
Daemon was never official named heir since Aemma was tryin to have a son, and was pregnant multiple times in that period.
@@Mrsnowduff naming an heir isnt a common thing, normally it follows the typical male primogeniture line. Barring viserys having a living son, by law and tradition, Daemon was prince of dragonstone and heir to the iron throne up until Rhaenyra was named
Aemond also knows that there is nothing he could say to avert the consequences of this and that he will be labeled a kinslayer.
Yea i wish they at least had a throwaway line for it in the show cause its a big thing in the books . No man is more accursed than the kinslayer
I love how you guys both watched the last two episodes blind, made the reactions even better. I can't wait for season 2, this show has been absolutely phenomenal and the nuanced characters and writing is so refreshing, I love it so much!
Also that shot of Vhagar outside in the rain has given me chills every single time I've seen it, it's straight out of a monster movie like Godzilla. I'm so scared for all the chaos she's probably going to cause next season lol.
Daemon never wanted the throne and still doesn’t he wants Rhaenyra to actually be angry about what they did when people fight dirty you can’t take the high road you’ll just fall from a higher point but she also should have just told him let me find out our Allies so I know what we are working with FIRST
Absolutely agree! This is a clear case of miscommunication between them.
This solidified Aemond as the character I’m most interested in going forward. They have given him layers and made me excited to see where his character goes
I’m still trying to figure out the layers when we didn’t see anything before this but him fighting and basically saying he wants to be King I need to See more before I see layers and he did what he did on purpose and his ego is so huge he thought he could just do that and Vhagar a war dragon wouldn’t attack especially when that’s what Vhagar was raised to do
and whats interesting about him? i dont get the hype, i would get it if he actually intented to kill luke, but holding a grudge for YEARS for losing an eye when they all were kids, betting mad at luke laughing in episode 8, chasing him on a WAR DRAGON to take his eye and then "accidentally" killing him makes no sense, it just makes him look stupid because he cant tame a dragon he had for years, whereas both rhaenyra and daemon have strong bond with their dragons
@@hopeaway9485 Vhaegar isn’t just any dragon. It’s one of the oldest dragons alive. Came to Westeros with Aegon. Of course he hasn’t tamed her. He was playing a kids game with a dragon who knows nothing but war. Viserys said the real illusion is that the Targaryens control the dragons. They are still animals with animal instincts. The person who thinks they control any animal is delusional. And that’s the trap Aemond fell in to.
What I love about Aemond is the fact that he yearns for the throne, but still does his duty. He wants Aegons spot, but continues to help his mother, and by association, he’s helping Aegon. The interesting part is, how long can he do his duty before his own aspirations bubble to the surface and explode. If you aren’t excited for the same thing, that’s ok. This is just me personally
@@headphones2006 and you are wrong, this show is fantasy, dragons are not just animals, they are MAGICAL creatures that breathe fire, and only people with valyrian blood can tame them, this is lore, i'm not making it up. the bond between a dragon and their rider is strong. did you not see how vhagar literally obeyed laena and killed her? because that was her rider.
also don't use that quote by viserys to try and further your argument, that quote only proves viserys is not very competent as a king, he was clearly weak and stupid and what does he know about dragons anyway he only rode balerion once, he is not into dragons, he has no targaryen fire in him, unlike daemon and rhaenyra.
@@hopeaway9485 you’re very pressed about my opinion. We can stop interacting now
I support women’s rights, but I also support women’s wrongs. Everything Rhaenyra does is completely justified, and I will gladly stand behind her choices as she commits war crimes. I hope she goes completely unhinged in S2, I want her to burn everything and everyone. Aemond is toast, and I hope they turn Vhagar into armor for Rhaenyra and her side. 🖤🔥🐉
Also RIP sweet Visenya 💔
TWO years?!? Fucking hell.
Daemon had permission, Rhaenyra said to Corlys that Daemon was doing something important. Rhaenyra didn’t marry Daemon to then not allow him to help her.
Daemon doesn’t want the throne for himself, never did. He wanted to be his brother’s Hand because he knew Otto was a POS.
The dragon that Daemon was singing to was the infamous Vermithor. It's not a wild dragon though. It once belonged to King Jaehaerys.
I don't blame Rhaenyra for sending her son Lucerys to storms end, storms end is close and the chances for Aemond to have been there was very small, Aemond could have easily been at House Stark or at the Tally's instead. I think it is just pure bad luck that Aemond happened to be there already. If any of the other greens was at storms end none of this would happen because the realm was still in peace that also why Rhaenyra sent her children because the realm still in peace and they were send as messengers not as negotiators or as warriors. Neither Daemon and Rhaenys was able to go instead because they had their own errands to run. So sad that Aemond and Lucerys both lost control over their dragons. And if Aemond did not tease Lucerys then none of this shit would have happened. Aemond just started a war and he knows it.
Not forget, Daemon not only did he place the crown on his wife, but also, he plays the crown on the king when he dropped it
I've been waiting all week for you guys to react to the finale
man have you made me wait
Aeomond: "Im gonna fk with my nephew"
Vhagar: "I'm down"
Vhagar: *eats Arrax and Luke*
Vhagar: "Did do good?"
Aemond: "........."
I watched an interview with GRR Martin that was recorded the day after the finale was aired. From what he said, it won't be quite 2 years before season two drops. According to him, season two should drop in the Spring of 2024, about 18 months from now. Also, I did a little research on the dragon Daemon was singing to, his name is Vermithor. He is 100 years old and at one time was ridden by King Jaehaerys the Wise, the king you saw at the beginning of the first episode who called the Great Counsel to name his heir. Vermithor has not had a rider in quite a long time, not since King Jaehaerys died. He is a huge dragon, almost as big as Vhaegar. I have not read the books, but I'm assuming Vermithor will probably play a prominent role in season two. One more thing, I discovered you guys at the very start of HoTD watching different reactions, and you guys have become one of my favorite reaction channels. You guys are witty, funny and really give great analysis of the subject at hand. Looking forward to your continuation of Stranger Things!
That would make sense, since they'd need a dragon to rival Vhaegar. Thank you for sharing!
❤️Jacqui
@@theshamelist Daemon's little recount of "their" dragons is very important and very informative for us as audiences... That dragon was indeed Vermithor, I believe he is the 3rd oldest dragon right now but the 2nd in size, like guitarman said... He is called "The Bronze Fury", even tho he has grown a little stale with all of these years inactive... There are still a few other riderless dragons on Dragonstone, quite big dragons: Silverwing is almost as big as Vermithor, Sheepstealer almost as big... And well, then there is "The Cannibal", but we don't talk about The Cannibal 🤣
The thing is that, while the blacks have indeed a bunch of small dragons; the oldest (Vhagar) and the 2nd oldest dragons right now are actually on the greens side... The 2nd oldest is Haelena's dragon, Dreamfyre, a female dragon that is over 100 years old; older than Vermithor but nevertheless a little smaller probably due to being locked up in the dragonpit for so long... They haven't actually talked much about her and they've only actually showed her twice and not in any detail; in episode 6 when Aemond goes down in the dragon pit, the huge dragon that spits fire is Dreamfyre, and in Episode 7 I believe, after Alicent and the green go back in the boat to kingslanding, you can see Aemond taking off in Vhagar and join 2 other dragons in the sky, that would be Haelena on Dreamfyre and Aegon on Sunfyre
@@Alewaxon Which dragon is the one laying all the eggs?
@@joenobody5631 What eggs? The ones that have been placed on the cradle of all of Rhaenyra, Alicent or Daemon's children?... They come from different female dragons; they haven't explained much about dragon reproduction, but we know from episode 8 that for example Syrax had 3 brand new eggs, those would probably go to Rhaenyra's children with Daemon if they don't already have dragons... But we have to imagine that every now and then, female dragons like Syrax, Meleys, Dreamfyre, Silverwing and maybe even Vhagar; they lay a few batches of eggs and they either put them in the cradles of Targaryen new born or if there isn't any new kids they put them in warming chambers to keep the eggs warm and comfortable waiting
We have already seen and heard about Syrax's eggs, so safe bet is that most of the baby dragons you see in the show, the ones with 'the strong boys', are mostly hers... for the baby dragons that team green has, the safe bet is probably Dreamfyre, since she is also in the dragonpit and she is now bonded with Haelena... Back in dragonstone and Driftmark, eggs like the one that hatched Seasmoke for Laenor or more recently Moondancer for Baela, would've probably come from Meleys or Silverwing, but there is also a chance that Baela and Rhaena's eggs came from Vhagar, since she was her mother's dragon and they were traveling the world... But like I said, we don't know much about it, maybe Vhagar is too old to be laying eggs... But you get the idea, all of the eggs and baby dragons that we see probably come from the 4 or 5 female dragons around
People only see the numbers 2022 to 2024 but don’t think in months it’s only going to be about a year and a half they’ve said this before they’re shooting for the latest April 2024
Best HOTD reactors by far. Jacqui one of very few people to catch the 3rd dragon flying out was Meleys. Vermithor is an unclaimed dragon. I really hope we get to see the wild ones The Cannibal, Sheepstealer and Grey Ghost.
The one thing that makes me mad about this show is that Daemon consoled his daughters when Laena died and his scene on the beach here is longer and so emotional and they chose to stay on the choking scene and they show him walking away from his daughters from the hug they cut from that scene. If u look closely Daemon is crying the whole time he walks to Rhaenyra he wipes his tears with one hand while his other is on his sword showing the two sides I love my family and I will murder anyone who hurts them.
In episode one when Viserys said "The Idea that we control the Dragons is an Illusion" There is no complete control even if you speak high valyrian.
Daemon not knowing about the prophecy was kind of a last fuck you from his brother since he was heir for years but was never told
Lucerys was so cute and scared 😢 just like his dragon Arrax. They both deserved better. They were just trying to do their job.
Love you guys realizing that syrax maybe feeling her pain during her child birth scene.
In answer to the "Can we breathe above the clouds"? question, the answer is yes -- if they're low to mid-level clouds, which are around between 6500 feet up to and beyond 10,000 feet (Beyond 10,000 feet, humans generally need supplemental oxygen). RUclips has videos of para-gliders who are riding over clouds, in scenes much like we saw here. That being said, we know that certain Targaryens have dragon-like abilities - like being fire-proof, for one - so if dragons can fly at higher altitudes (I don't know if they can or not) there's certainly reason to think their riders can also.
Why so critical, just a little hungry. How would you like to fly around all day without a snack?
This is when Aemond created the true Black Queen. She will have her vengeance at a very high cost.
"And now you've woken the dragon." - The final scene
The only thing good that happens in a rain storm is excellent cinematography hahaha
Corlys : "We shall cut all seaborn travel and trade to Kinglanding."
Jackie : "Yeah starve them!"
Hightower and Tyrells who control the most fertile region in westeroes : Hmmmmm....
Daemon is definitely claiming the second dragon Vermithor, previously ridden by king Jaehaerys. The Claim is possible based off of blood sacrifice of his child which he mentions in the song translation from Valyrian:
Fire breather
Winged leader
But two heads
To a third sing
From my voice:
The fires have spoken
And the price has been paid
With blood magic
With words of flame
With clear eyes
To bind the three
To you I sing
As one we gather
And with three heads
We shall fly as we were destined
Beautifully, freely
Such a pretty song. It's a pity it wasn't subtitled, because Matt Smith really did sing that fairly well.
The translation has been confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own).
In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation:
Fire breathes, winged leader
but two heads
For a third to sing
From my voice:
The fires spoke
And the price has been paid
with blood magic
With words of fire
with clear eyes
To tie the three
for you i sing
As one we come together
And with three heads
We'll fly like we were meant to
beautifully, freely
In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted not to and as he is showing in the series that he is sorry, the name of Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be visenya
In the book Aemond he kills Luke because he wants to and when he gets home he celebrates and Aegon and alicent they celebrate luke's death different from the series they put it as an accident that the Two lost control of the dragons in the book there is no such thing as losing control of the dragons they spoiled everything in the series but anyway Aemond killed Luke he could have prevented it It was just him not following Luke but that asshole Aemond went after the kid now he's going to bear all the consequences now l' m wondering how they are they going to do this in the series because in the book the greens are all happy with luke's death for alicent, aegon and even aemond so i'm wondering how they are going to do it in the series because the writers put it as if it was an accident and that aemond didn't wanted to kill Luke unlike the book where he kills Luke because he wants to, I didn't like that much they did it just to make people feel sorry for the greens in my opinion, In the book Aemond kills Luke because he wanted to kill Luke different from the series that showed that it was an "Accident" but depending on how Aemond was and blamed for Luke's death he could have avoided it An example was just he didn 't follow Luke then he wouldn't kill Luke anymore like Aemond is a donkey, imbecile is an idiot he did shit and now the greens will pay for everything they did
Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming of a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection with their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns the whole transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they made Daenarys
Daemon as crazy as it gets, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping on the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was at her most vulnerable and it wasn't easy.. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and the wife of Viserys died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. The scene on the beach was much longer of him on the beach Matt the actor he shot a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is not no saint anymore he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra just unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him much, i think the reason daemon didnt go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he feared having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her that way. When he dropped to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to get that baby out so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome...
Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition. we books Alicent she hates Rhaenyra she was always jealous of Rhaenyra so much that I wish rhaenyra's death no and as in the series it shows that alicent is like that and because we books she does things because she because she is a bad person
Let's see the losses Rhaenyra lost mother and father and daughter and son and Daemon lost father and mother in childbirth and also lost his wife who is Laena and son and now he lost brother and daughter and two other children They are suffering, but each one of their own ways, the daemon starts preparing for war because he knows Otto very well and he is afraid of losing his family One thing I say is that the two really love each other rhaenyra she can't survive without the daemon They are the best couple like it or not they are everyone's popular Daemyra forever
Emma Darcy who plays Rhaenyra she says that the daemon never laid a hand on Rhaenyra that this was the first time that Rhaenyra her character didn't care much because she knows that the daemon did that and Because he's angry and he's letting his emotion out and she also says which character of hers cares the most about what she just found out that the daemon doesn't know about prophecy because Rhaenyra I thought the daemon knew because he was heir to viserys for 10 years that's why she put a smile on the side of her mouth because she just found out that her father always chose her and Rhaenyra had her doubts if her father wanted her as heir remembers episode 2 when Rhaenyra talks to Alicent poise now after years he got her answer The daemon must be sad because it's his brother and he just found out that he was never chosen and that brother never trusted him enough to tell him and that's more heartbreaking A script for the first season came out that HBO thought of putting in the story a scene that the viserys was thinking of telling the daemon then he starts talking to the daemon but then gives up only that they They didn't put this scene unfortunately
I think the biggest reason people didn't like the scene of Daemon smothering Rhaenyra is because he's supposed to be a bad guy to the greens, but the protector of his family. Daemon isn't a saint, but he's definitely not a villain. He does a lot of bad things, but he's a gray character, and loving his family and protecting them is one of his redeeming qualities and some writers are trying to take that away from him.
There are two teams, the Green Team that belongs to Alicent and the Black Team that belongs to Rhaenyra, I hope to see Rhaenyra with fire in her eyes in the second season, The Greens will pay for everything they did
King Aegon got crowned in usurper way they lied about the fact that Viserys named Aegon his heir, Hightowers got innocent people killed who stood up for Rhaenyra and they forced innocent people into the dragonpits for Aegon's coronation.
Great reaction. Team Red/Black has the heart but team Green has people.
Please .. please ... please react to The Sandman, based on Neil Gaiman's graphic novels. I know it is a series you will both love. Also, another Neil Gaiman miniseries you would absolutely like is Good Omens. If you haven't seen it, your fans would love to see you react to it.
Before I even knew anything I trusted Jacerys's trip to the Vale And winterfell before I trusted storms end and the damn baratheons , and for the way things went down, I think the wrong brothers went to the wrong place because Jace has a strong backbone where Luc does not
The Dance of the Dragons is officially upon us
As a parent.... why would you send you children/heirs to your throne, on a diplomatic mission, with little to no experience? And, why did luc land at storms end knowing Aemond one eye, was already there? He saw that godzilla looking dragon outside! He knew who the rider was! Not to mention, he is still pissed about that one eye? Cmon... he should of turned around in mid-air and, took his ass back home!
If you remember, In the Game of Thrones, Daenerys twice lost control of her Dragons, and you could see her fear when it happened.
Vhagar is big , but balerion is 3x more , and balerion died at 203 years old , BUTTT cannibal still alive and he is more bigger and older then balerion he have 35 more years then balerion and he survives all dance
salvage dragon
21:05, Seriously, lol. It's a Blue Sapphire Gem.
I'm curious as to why it's a sapphire, though. Wouldn't Aemond want to choose an emerald, for his support of his mother's House? It would be cool if he had like this collection of eye ball sized gemstones to coordinate with his outfits so he looks fabulous at all times.
@@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289 it's a Blue Sapphire. We can Cleary see , no pun intented. Sapphire is a more Precious Gemstone than Emerald, which is also very impressive. However the durability, Worth and beauty of Sapphire is known amongst the ages. (Heart of the Ocean, Titanic? Lol.) Yet that was a Blue Sapphire in his eye to answer your question.
Also it's deep blue looks striking in his socket.
The dragon that daemon was singing to is thought to be vermithor which would be jaherys' dragon (rhaynes dad who named viserys heir...viserys' being rhayneras dad)
The whole season was great, but the last 3 or 4 episodes were tremendous. Really came into it's own. Sucks we have to wait 2 years for the next episodes with such a cliffhanger.
Glad I found you two. You both are absolutely Great! So much fun hanging out.
Aemond jugó con Fuego y como bien sabía Viserys Los Dragones no son Esclavos
The Daemon put his hand on Rhaenyra was it because of the prophecy because viserys didn't tell him (this doesn't exist in the books the Writers vented in the series) I understand the fight we both have because they don't talk like that on the same page, make the daemon put his hand on Rhaenyra, I think that was over the top, it wasn't necessary and the moment the daemon lets go of rhaenyra, you can see in the eyes of the daemon and Rhaenyra that they are both suffering and Rhaenyra says she never told you that and she smirks because she's realizing that the viserys chose her as heir to the throne because viserys didn't tell the daemon and Rhaenyra thought viserys had told him because the daemon had 10 years as heir and Viserys and after those 10 years, viserys never told him so he keeps imagining in the daemon's head how my brother who i loved so much never trusted me right now the daemon must be very hurt because daemon always wanted to show his worth to viserys and he loves his brother the daemon and a person who he has a hot head, he is proud, but he also has feelings, but sometimes he ends up expressing it wrong, then the daemon loses another child because he already lost one, then he discovers that his brother died Then later he discovers that his brother never trusted him and that it hurts his heart and daemon is feeling all of this but he ends up putting everyone else these feelings in rhaenyra who is not to blame it's the moment he lets go she sees his eyes of sadness and before he leaves if you notice he looks down he looks at her belly Then he remembers the daughter they lost, Daemon didn't stay with Rhaenyra because he didn't want to make the same choice he made with Laena the daemon has truama in fact the daemon always had for those who don't know the daemon's mother died in childbirth so the daemon already has a trauma because he never wanted to have children, so the daemon didn't want to be with Rhaenyra so he wouldn't make the same choice there when Rhaenyra loses the child Rhaenyra Stays with the daughter since the daemon goes to the beach to suffer there that reminded me in the first episode of the throne scene there is a daemon and viserys is the daemon tells viserys that each person suffers in a different way, and it reminds me of the scene the two are suffering each alone but rhaenyra and daemon are grieving for their daughter unfortunately we didn't see much of the other side of the daemon this season because the writers and HBO preferred not to show in my opinion the most wronged is Matt Smith Mano he made several scenes of the daemon showing the sentimental side of the daemon him hugging his daughters is him on the beach grieving for the death of his daughter with Rhaenyra and he spends hours and hours on the floor grieving for visenya's death and we simply received in this episode just a quick scene of him grieving for his daughter in the book it says a lot that the daemon is a great father and that he loved his two Wives Laena and Rhaenyra unlike the series which showed very little and I think it's really sad because they're not showing the real daemon Of course he's hot headed and he's crazy but man he loves his family he would never hurt his family until the actor himself says that the daemon would give his life for Viserys is Rhaenyra and very sad what they are doing to this character.
The Scene at the end was matt's idea he had an idea that who should break the news of luke's death should be the daemon there the writers and emma give up the idea there they did, if you notice it at the time of the scene when daemon enters in the room rhaenyra's attention goes all to the daemon because she knows that something has happened and on the way the daemon is approaching rhaenyra you notice that he puts a hand on his face indicating that he cried there when he got closer to rhaenyra he didn 't even be able to look us in her eyes
I'm sorry for Rhaenyra, she lost her father and didn't even say goodbye to her father and didn't even go to the funeral, it's not even known if it was because she didn't attend Viserys' funeral and even more Rhaenyra lost two children Luke is Visenya, In the Book Rhaenyra She blames the greens for the death of her baby and if you think she's right because she lost the baby it was because of the greens, her own brother stole her throne is Alicent hid the death of Viserys , Rhaenyra is pregnant, we all know that one woman cannot take too much emotion or stress because it is dangerous for the baby and she got the news right away. She lost the throne, Losing her father was a lot of emotion and stress for Rhaenyra all because of the Greens, so yes, the Greens were to blame for her daughter's death, she would be the first daughter Rhaenyra would have with Daemon.
3:10 Daemon thinks that viserys was murdered because the greens made Aegon king right away and saved all the people in prison, not to mention that viserys is dead and this is all suspect, so of course Daemon or anyone else will think that viserys was murdered because the greens hid the death of viserys and they quickly put Aegon on the throne and when that nobody says Nothing to Rhaenyra so it's very suspicious so I understand Daemon's side of he's upset and angry is that now he wants revenge is we can't forget that Daemon and Rhaenyra are in Mourning but I also understand Rhaenyra's side of not wanting to go to war, what She was doing is right, a king has to keep the peace and Rhaenyra was trying everything not to go to the war and not having blood But now it's too late now it's war Rhaenyra has lost many things and now she has to fight for her Throne and for the lives of her children
4:17 what Rhaenyra said in that scene to me doesn't make sense she said that Daemon is crazy and that he's fighting his own war if you remember right in episode 7 Rhaenyra tells Daemon that she needs him and that she couldn't do this alone , so she's asking him for help, here comes this scene where Rhaenyra says Daemon is waging his own war for me It doesn't make sense, Daemon is protecting his family, he's doing what she asked him to do in episode 7, I think it was a Script Hole because it doesn't make sense in my opinion
7:01 This scene with Rhaenyra was very beautiful, you can see that it was very different from Aegon, the two scenes are different, the music in both scenes is very good, no one can deny that, in the scene with Aegon, no one gets on their knees for him, in the scene with Rhaenyra everyone they get on their knees because she is the true heir to the Iron Throne, and I also noticed the reference in episode 8 when the crown of viserys fell and it was Daemon who placed the crown on viserys and now it is Daemon putting the crown on his wife his Queen
9:36 It makes reference to Episode 2, the difference between the two scenes and that in Episode 2 Rhaenyra was on Otto's side, It is now in this scene that Rhaenyra is on Daemon's side
10:50 This scene references Episode 1 when Rhaenyra rips off a piece of the Book and gives it to Alicent.
My favorite characters from HOTD I have many more My favorite characters in First place is Second place is Rhaenyra is Daemon, What are your favorite characters? I hope you post your reaction to the second season of House of the Dragon
Tf make y’all think daemon need some permission 😂😂😂😂as much y’all hate daemon he will do anything to win Rhaenyras side. He is her biggest asset
Cause he is prince consort and she is queen regent
@@derkek7084 king consort.
@@KevinDiazx11 I just think it's the same as Elisabeth and Philipp. He was never callef king
@@derkek7084 this is westeros 😂😂😂😂😂😂 my guy!! Daemon is her most experience war fighter she has that is 100% in her side. But he still gonna make moves
Daemon never came after the throne
It will be very interesting to see if Aemond tells his family that it was kind of an accidental situation; he should have known better, that his nuclear weapon would act like a nuclear weapon. Or will he say he meant to do it as a callus way of starting the war that the women didn't want to start yet.
"I don't know what Ye has done this time."🤣
Lord Strong went to next to his father. Glad to see the biggest dragon in the Realm. You will obey all to Aemond
The best episode of the show!
Rhaenyra is my favorite Targaryen! I loved Daenerys before she killed everyone for no good reason, she could have just kill Cersei for Missandei & her dragon! She wanted the throne so bad! 🤦🏼♀️ Nope Rhaenyra is my favorite! She lost her dad, her baby, her son, the throne her dad gave her, never wanted to fight, now she can kill anybody she wants I'm 100% behind her! Not the same situation at all! 🤷🏼♀️ #TeamBlack 🖤 And what can we say about Emma D'Arcy... Wow So talented! ❤🔥🙌🏻
I like your videos. Make an análisys of the whole season. I would like to hear it. Now you have more information: how was made, directed, the performaces, the choices of actors, or why Paddy Considine was not nominated for the coming awards. You two can do this. So Hope you do It.
🖤🖤🖤Burn them all my Queen, burn them all!🐲🔥
Mad King vibes
and we've got to wait til 2024 for the next season
Daemon was viserys’s heir for 10 years…
Obviously team Green
Where do you guys get that Daemon is not good at planning for war? He won the war in the Stepstones
I found you guys and love your reactions! Subbed :)
Bright side Luke doesn’t have to worry about being heir of Driftmark anymore.
😂 Touché, and I appreciate your dark sense of humor. ❤️Jacqui
Im sure Joffrey will appreciate position he just inherited.
Too soon, bro.
Daemon knows what he is doing. They have been expecting war for a while and he is a knight. Except, they made Rhaenyra far more passive here with that stupid book page scene. In the books she is crowned and she says Otto and Alicent are traitors (Otto would never have left alive had he gone to Dragonstone), but she will spare her siblings if they bend the knee, which contradicts everything Otto always said about her. But if Aegon keeps her from her throne, she will have his head. Aegon's reaction to Her coronation is very on brand, I don't know if it will be a spoiler or they will also change that.
The scene of the prophecy makes no sense, Daemon was heir apparent for almost a decade in the show and both Daemon and Viserys know that heirs are never a sure thing. Their grandfather had 13 kids, 3 men well into adulthood. His first heir, Aemon, their uncle, and his second, Baelon, their father, died unexpectedly, so did most of his daughters (their mom Alyssa during childbirth of their sibling Aegon who dies before his first birthday), his living son was an archmaster who didn't want the throne because of his vows, and so the Council of 101 happened. Daemon was the one that fought for Viserys' claim, even gathering a small army if a fight against Corlys for Laenor's claim was to happen. Viserys believed the prophecy to be above all else in the show, for 9 years he was sure of a son and he never considered Rhaenyra his heir until he exiles Daemon. He would have had to tell Daemon the moment Jaehaerys died, because you never know when you'll die, even if he was sure he would have a son. It's duty and he follows duty. The prophecy almost could have been lost before, since the second king died and his son was usurped and killed by his uncle. It's just a plot hole scene to cause the conflict of Rhaenyra not wanting the throne if there was to be war (she did, they were traitors and they desecrated her father's body and hid his death from her). Luke's death is just the fuse to start the violence.
Rhaenerya mocks Daemon after he releases her. He hates that more than anything else. These two truly deserve each other
She really doesn’t she was trying to breathe but there’s a lot more going on there the questions of why didn’t Viserys tell him a Daemon truly loved him and then finds out he didn’t trust him and why is she being so passive when they’re literally going to kill her add in the losses they’ve both had already it’s just a lot
When’s the revenge of the with reaction coming out?
It's already up on the channel 😊 Hope you enjoy it! ❤️Jacqui
Other than the choke hold. Daemon’s rule would’ve been great
Sending her sons was a good strategy in my mind! Aemond is the stupid one who started a war! All of this is his fault! All of this because he lost an eye but he lost an eye because of himself! He's always looking for war but he didn't want to kill him come on! 🤦🏼♀️ #TeamBlack 🖤
Team Black 🖤🔥
Oh it begins... f the greens minus Haelana
Did you skip Return of the Jedi?
Green 🐉🐉🐉💚💚💚👑👑👑
Pls react to Interview with the vampire
Yes, the movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, not the woke nonsense that is the new tv show.
Vhagar realized the Targaryen wasn't STRONG in Luce? Last time I had a post with historical symbolism of the coronation. This time I got nothing cause there's only 10 mfs in that joint 😂. When you gotta buy your kid the Burger King crown so they don't throw tantrums 😂😂. Jk Jk. It's a very deliberate contrast to the cold, formal & autocratic coronation of Aegon II. This feels heartwarming. Robb Stark S1 vibes, fit for the chosen one after all. It's more authentic, grassroots. more "of the soil". GRRM has a twisted way with these things. Don't forget. The "folk" will have their say. Anyway, great season. Every actor was phenomenal. As a Green, my S2 wishlist is to see more Mommy's Favorite War Criminal slash Milf Hunter Aemond! Give Criston his tradwife Ali already! Them two staring at each other's soul was peak romance lol. My queen so pure she thinks WAP is worship & prayer 💚
Team Green 💚
Al principio pense que era CR7 jsjsja
Quién don Pablo?
@@Caraxes333 el gay que esta ahi se parece a cristiano ronaldo maquillado XD
The chocking scene was disgusting and they ruined daemon's character... This never happened in the book...and daemon would never behave like this with rahnerya... Infact opposite he would kill anyone who dares to touch her😶
Also about the war...that was wrong as well...in the book he was the one ..who wanted to know about any diplomatic solutions before all out war😶😶😶😶😶
Both rahnerya and daemon wanted the throune equally....
They ruined his character in episode 10...wtf is wrong with showrunner 😶
I am sooo relieved that Daemon never harmed Rhaenyra. He seems like the protective type to want to kill anyone if they even attempted to harm his wife/niece. He's violent, yes, but despite his faults he loves his family and wife. He never loved Rhea Royce, but he didn't kill her either, she genuinely died in a hunting accident.
That’s literally in line with his character. Killing anyone who wants to harm her is not contradictory with unleashing his rage, anger and frustration on her. Look for your twilight romance somewhere else
@@thevisionary5135 seems like u are biased or blind 😂 anyone who has read the book knows exactly what I said... With facts... Or do u think u know the characters more than the author himself... Who literally created all of them 😂
No one is looking for twilight romance here ... anyone with eyes and able to read the books knows these stuffs... So BACK OFF 🎆
@@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289 💯 ✨
@@light5869 I don’t give a f*ck about the books. What Daemon did is totally consistent with how his character has been portrayed in the show
I never wrote a comment but the person on the left is so beautiful and his make-up suits him so well and i have loved your reactions of HOTD during these 10 weeks, definitely gonna miss it!
why you look like the hunger games bad people?
That person from the left is sick 😱send him to the doctor 😂
She thought Viserys told Daemon abou the ASOIAF dreabecause, technically Daemon was the legitimate heir to Viserys until he had a son. Thos was the law from the Great Council. Viserys brok law by naming Rhaenyra as his heir .
The page is a cheap shot
“The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion” - Viserys. HoTD trying to tell a nuanced story about dragons and dragonriders. Purists who believe lack of analytical thinking can be compensated by pedantry “HAHA LOLZ IT’S ALL A MISCOMMUNICATION”.The dragons acting on their own is executive producer George’s idea. This is 100% him. More than a few of the GoT channels did a good job breaking down why dragons acting on their own accord is justified and makes the story more intriguing. The channel Hill’s Alive did a video essay documenting various George interviews over a span of almost 20 years to show how this was a long time in the making. I don’t know where the dragon thing is going, but I’m hooked. And finally, sorry stans, but F&B Daemon is far more evil than he has been portrayed in the show so far.
binge watching HOTD reactions to fill the void it left by ending season 1 and stumbled upon your channel and just HAD to comment at how beautiful you both are!
omg
Show me your war face!
