Me on the left.
Harrenhal scenes were kino. don't (you) me
aggghh...
King Jacaerys Targaryen First of His Name
OH LAWD DEM DRAGONZ
reeeeeeeeeeeee
>>202018999>First of His NameAnd the last.
I just want to take this moment to say that all the actors except Emma D'Arcy and Mysaria's actress are carrying the show, with a dogshit script and writing, they still act their asses off and are enjoyable to watch. It's too bad the writing is so bad you can't even turn your brain off anymore. If only they were given actual coherent arcs and a coherent story, this really could've become a good show; it had promise in season 1.
>>202018946How hard do you think he's seething after Season 2?
Everyone ITT is going to be either gay or a woman. I can predict it already.
>>202018946>Harren the Black's Mid Life Crisis Castle
>>202019003Do you think they use dragon fire to make their KFC wings extra crispy?
>>202018985yeah but all of the scenes should have been in 1 or 2 episodes
The only cool shit that happened this season was Cole stepping up to bat and the bastards getting dragons.
>You won't be the first nobleman who was born out of wedlock because his mother wanted to do whatever she liked to espouse a political stance that is incongruous with both the setting, lore and world building of our continent What did Baela mean by this?
>>202019003da first men don even season de meat
Maelor Strong soon.
>>202019029>World of Westeros TV showAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
>>202019068Good luck growing spices up North
>>202019029>Reboot >Dany is literally in the episodeYeah ok
>The king CONSORT, or Gaemon as I prefer to call him, is a sociopathic waste of oxygen for whom none of us here have any respect or affection, but House Tully will honour its oaths if he proves himself capable of doing the right thing even just once.
>>202019003Why does her dragon always have its head tilted sideways when breathing fire?
only the 1st half of the episode leaked, the other half can still redeem it
>>202019024>It's too bad the writing is so bad you can't even turn your brain off anymore. If only they were given actual coherent arcs and a coherent story, this really could've become a good show; it had promise in season 1.I have only watched the first season, is the 2nd one really that bad?
>>202019063Targaryens have dragons so the congruous political stance is whatever they say it is. Now kneel, chuds.
>>202019063Baela is a Targaryen, imagine giving a fuck about the non-Targ parents.
>>202019111how do you respond without sounding mad?
>>202019111daemon bros, we're getting cooked by a fish
>>202019126>Targaryens have dragonsNot after this family event they don't
>>202019126She does look gorgeous in the show with her cute little expressions
>>202019120anon... the ending leaked, it was the most important scenes
>>202019121Yes. It's not as bad as season 8 GoT, but it is as bad as 6-7.
>>202019130by chopping off a blackwoods head with a smile
It's weird that the people in the northern free cities have andal blood like most westerosi and no one comments on it ever.
>>202019140should have never married outside the family, this all happened because they gave fucking hightowers dragons
>>202019120its okay anon, we all want this show to be good but its just not
>>202018985The scenes themselves were fine, but them just building up to more white walker wank and having Daemon turn into a Jon Snowesque muhkween because of the visions cheapens them in retrospect.
>>202019126post more Rhaenyra AI sloppa like that
>>202019130>y-yes my lord Tully, I will do as you say
>>202019121Yes.
Who imprisoned Otto?
>>202019130Nod and throw your loyal blackwoods under the bus lmao. Daemon is such a vile peace of shit but it was funny to see the niggerwoods get what they deserve for once.
>>202019162Daemon is a weak ass coward who can only attack from behind. Didn’t do shit when Chadmond called out the bastards and didn’t have the balls to face Chadmond 1v1 so hired a fucking ratcatcher.
>>202019190i agree with that, the reconciliation could've been done in a less chesier way
>>202019180>Let me just give the family the rules the continent's actual capital (not to mention their significant influence in literally every institution) nuclear weaponsSmooth move ex lax
>>202019203Those who go bzzzz, presumably.
>>202019024This show should ruin Sonia Mizuno's career. Emma D'Arcy is probably not getting TV work after this show ends. She'll be relegated to doing theater. I feel bad for Olivia Cooke. Her talent is waste on this show and she has nothing to do but make faces.
>>202019198Alright but promise to stay on Team Black.
>>202019172>It's weird that the people in the northern free cities have andal blood like most westerosi and no one comments on it ever.That's because "Andal" is seen more as a culture, than a "bloodline". The Free Cities don't embrace Andal culture, where Westeros does.
>>202019180The dance was bound to happen, if not between hightower-targs and targ-targs then it would be later by targs vs blackfyres or whatever other cadet branch
>>202018946So what do the dragon attendants that quit their job do now? They were in a castle on a island that's at war, guessing they at least got room and board, but Now what? The Queen they publicly snapped at is going to just let them hang out in the castle, or even stay on the island??
>>202019190It's not just that, it's that it was set right up to make Daemon match his book counterpart. It was RIGHT THERE for him to abandon Rhaenyra after going after Aemond, forget about the war and live out his days in peace. Instead they make him MORE devoted to her even though that's not what all the visions were building towards.
>>202019251>talentplease
>>202019263maybe but it could have been different if both sides had an understanding of needing to preserve targ power and dragons
>>202019279where is tessarion?
>>202019024>I just want to take this moment to say that all the actors except Emma D'Arcy and Mysaria's actress are carrying the showAegon is really who carries the show. It's no coincidence that after he got maimed it went completely off the rails. They should just spend 90% of S3's time on Aegon's Bravosi adventures.
>>202019252Has D'Arcy ever done nude scenes?
>>202019063She's saying that Daemon got cucked and she's a bastard too. I mean just look at her. You really think she's related to Matt Smith the Cro Magnon man?
>>202019180That's why targ inbreeding is based
>>202019299too small
>>202019280Daemon was never going to do more than die fighting Aemond. Nettles' arc ends with her living the rest of her days in a cave with Sheepstealer taking the bad dragon and eating mountain clansmen.
>>202019251Agreed. Both her and TGC are doing the best they can to keep their characters emotionally and behaviourally consistent with their acting, but keep getting given slop that's inconsistent with a cohesive characterisation so it's just wasted.
>>202019279I know that is probably inevitable if they ever show him, but Balerion being just a GigaDrogon is boring as fuck
>>202019252of course she is literally muh queen
we are blaming the strikes, right?
>>202019299And Sheepstealer and Cannibal and Meraxes and Viserion
>>202019111>le wisecracking loli/shota who disrespects his/her elders and feudal bettersOH EM GEE 'MEMBER LYANNA?
>>202019207>noo daemon, oscar please! i'll do anything you want! i'll suck your cock okay? all of you guys!
>>202019314>Has D'Arcy ever done nude scenes?doesnt seem like it, ive tried looking for any
>>202018976where is the color?
>>202019365We've seen his skull so we know how his horns are and Drogon has always been referred to as looking like him. That's how the fatty wants it.
>>202019390This shit is so dumb. Irl this little twerp would be commanded by his regent and he'll be silent at all times until he comes of age at 16.
>>202019390She was like 4 years old, that was just stupid. This guy is a teenager, so it's at least plausible.
>>202019279>3rd biggest dragon is useless because her rider is an autistic spoiled princess
>>202019357The show completely glossed over Bitter Bridge and the taking of Stone Hedge.
>>202019431>until he comes of age at 16.lol, depends on the regent
>>202019357This is true but Daemon spends time with his daughter and/or gf in F and B before he decides to go after Aemond, implying he's old, and tired, and wants to go out on his own terms and is sick of Rhaenyra's shit and lusting after power. Here, they make it about how much more he can ride Rhaenyra's ass, and the white walkers. After Alys' visions are there to make him not care about that shit, until the very end. It's wildly inconsistent.
>>202019431t. Gaemon
>>202019377>nipples on a breastplate
>>202019411>where is the color?No budget, it all went to the CGI dragons.
>>202019458nta but we still haven't had fall of kl and daemon is very loyal until then
>>202019126>>202019252>>202019377Now make her fat as she's supposed to be.
post kino
>>202019458>This is true but Daemon spends time with his daughter and/or gf in F and B before he decides to go after Aemond, implying he's old, and tired, and wants to go out on his own terms and is sick of Rhaenyra's shit and lusting after power.I wonder how they're gonna spin off this. The reason Daemon finally goes to God's Eye to murder-suicide is because he has nothing left to live for and feels depressed & alone. How are Condom and Mess gonna spin this one off? He goes to valiantly sacrifice himself for kween Rhae Rhae?
Greenbros... How did we lose this bad?
>>202019111>a fish slapped alicent>a fish btfo'd daemonfeels good to be a fishbro
>>202019502>this is what could have been
>>202019493/ourqueen/ isn't fat, that was Mushroom and greencels seething
>>202019493
>>202019517Yes, that and his visions lead him to do it for le greater good, which makes no fucking sense.
>>202019493>fatno!
>>202019525Didn't the guard throw down their arms because the only ones defending KL were the City guard, which was made by Daemon, and they were loyal to Daemon? It was deathless except for Otto and Gwain being beheaded.
>>202019502>it's gotten to the point that i would prefer tranimeit's so over...
>>202019556If only…
Haven't been home for episodes 6 & 7, what am I in for?
>>202019556Based. Now she has the perfect queenly figure.
>>202019525If the writers wanted to showcase how dumb women are and why they are not allowed to rule, they're doing a stellar job so far.
>>202019493Fat? Fat is it? Is that how you speak to your Queen?
>>202019525HOTD is Sara Hess Fanfiction
>>202018946Wait. Is Rhaena actually claiming Sheepstealer this season or she only runs up to him?
>>202019574yes but the showwriters are retarded
its such a boring slag i feel like it was directed by a womanis this thread just full of bots?am i talkign to myself?wtfwho enjoys this shit
>>202019502Where are the rest of the Black kids? Also Nettles isn't supposed to be pretty
>>202019525>noo aemond suggested that my useless daughter do something for a change, time to sell out the rest of my family, all our loyal followers and the people fighting for us and beg my bff rhaerhaeits female evil and stupidity. both her and helaena should be locked up in the red keep unless they do something stupid like this
>>202019576Hilarious that you'd call it tranime when japan certainly isn't at the point where they completely rewrite characters of a source material to make an entitled woman look good, blackwash characters, or hammer your head with yassss queen feminism 5 times per episode.
>>202019604Say his name...
>>202018999Thinking about asking for this hair cut, what do yall think? Will I hey made fun of?
>>202019561I hate the tie-ins with GoT so much, bros.
They really failed to give Daemon any purpose in this show because they're too pussy to make him an outright Valyrian supremacist who struggles with the greatness of his people vs. their capacity/lust for destruction. This is GRRM's big thesis on Daemon and Targaryens generally, which I think is why GRRM likes the character so much. >>202019458Has it right. Reducing Daemon to a prophecy schizo makes him boring. If course it's pure Condal fanfic because he's dead set on turning this show into Dune.
>>202019657Ryan CONdal
>>202019634Funny part in all of this is Alicent completely vindicates Aemond in not trusting her or her ability to rule. The writers literally have zero idea just how fucking retarded they are.
>>202019645have you seen anime fans?
>Daemon carrying Rhaenyra's cause during the Dance
>>202019634If the first thing you do as regent is proclaiming that the time of incels has begun, you should remember that actions have consequences.
>>202019612Find out NEXT SUNDAY only on HBO’S House of the Dragon ™ starring Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke. Tune in!
>>202019502Suicide Squad got an isekai anime recently, one with good production values at that. A Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire anime of that level would be awesome.
>>202019705Next season
>>202019645Japan finally kicked that communist who rewrote Japanese history to include black Samurai out of Japan.
>>202019279enter, ice dragons
>>202019502>>202019576>>202019645>Mayhaps the whore will die in child birthAlicent would have said this in this theoretical animation.
>>202019525This also further assassinates Daemon's character because a part of the plot is the continued Goldcloak loyalty to him but now instead they just stood down because they were told to
>>202019721Oops! Find out in 2 years only on HBO’S House of the Dragon ™ starring Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke. Tune in!
>>202019683>For your arrogance against the gods, you're punished to do this for eternity!>This is a punishment?
>>202019296Maybe it could have been avoided if there was a formalised system of claiming a dragon
>>202019279I was expecting the obvious sensible thing that was throwing all of them into the dungeon for talking down on the queen's wisdom (if not killing them) but the showrunners infinite desire for rhaenyra never doing anything slightly evil made them go freely and make her look like a dumb retard in exchange.
>>202019721Did they really couldn't include the scene that was hinted at since season 1? I guess we needed more Alicent scenes.
>>202019674>le only S8 is bad memehate it
>>202019601Kek. Good one. Now find the belly-plate stretcher.
>>202019574Yes but Daemon isn't allowed to be an asset. He needs to be reduced to a burden to that Rhaenyra looks good in comparison.
>>202019811Diluting the blood would have made it obsolete. There was a reason for all the dragonlord incest.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9XBP07GeJYIt is absolutely wild how good this show as just a single season ago. Has any show ever dipped in quality this fast? GoT at least had 4 seasons of decreasing quality. HOTD went from certified kino to absolute slop in the span of a single season.
>>202019845Normie NPCs didn't turn on the show until le feminist kween turned evil. Before that it was the greatest thing ever. Truth it GOT was trash since S5 with some minor exceptions like the Hardhome episode.
>>202019833Disassociation scenes must be so easy and cheap to film, have cast members off screen mutter their lines, use a shit mic and have Olivia unfocus her eyes and stare into the middle distance
Jace is about 10 times more interesting than Rhaenyra.
>>202019862legit. The quality of the show dropped when Viserys died. It started with Rhaenys busting out of the Dragon pit killing all those innocent to have a girlboss moment.
>>202019895Jace was the only character from team blacked that didn't bore me to death this season.
>>202019502god this artstyle is fucking dogshit. im not against animation on principle, but these characters look like they belong in a bad isekai anime. at least emulate something with a sense of grit and realism like attack on titan.
>>202019659Depends. Do you have curly hair?
>mhm she looks like a cute mommy gf who could love me unironically. i think i can trust herour chud wont fall for it in the show r-right... hes a volcel
>>202019845>hate itAgreed, It had already jumped the shark by Season 5, but "Beyond the wall" might be the worst hour of television I have ever watched.
>showrunners in a constant state of panic since every single character is more interesting to the normies but rhaenyragays on twitter don't count
>>202019900>smallfolk>innocent
>>202019928
>>202019924I'm still pissed at how much they botched Jon's death. His death in the show is completely anticlimactic. They just line up in a little column waiting for their queue to stab him. And it's all because of some retarded little show kid.
>>202019943What we expect from youNothing.
>>202019659Depends. Do you have dark hair?
>>202019943Imagine fighting and dying for a leader who says that kind of shit.
>>202019943she isnt likeable
>>202019862i'll never forget seeing my sister burst into tears at this scene, such a kino scene for such a sharp dropoff
>>202019943This feels like a distressed and incompetent scriptwriter speaking directly to the audience
>>202019943do this
>>202019862paddy carried
>>202019502>No dragons in questionable 9 year old girl appearanceno true fire emblem
>>202019943Sex with Alicent
>>202019895Yep, and that's even with cutting most of his book content.
>>202019988She would with a couple pounds more...
>>202019502who is the protagonist>Daeron>Bloody Ben>Jace>Addam
Rhaenyra and Alicent are the main characi of the show but they're also the most boring.
>Beware the Bees beneath the boards
>does nothing>there's tens o' thousands dead on your account.
>>202019874>Normie NPCs didn't turn on the show until le feminist kween turned evil.Wrong. The live bar reactions became a thing around season 4 or 5, and truly exploded in season 6. Season 4 is the last good season. Anything after Pedro Pascal's death is true cancer.
Tower of Joy 2.0 but instead it’s these three in their prime. Which seven fighters can overcome them? We know Arthur>=Selmy and Selmy says Jaime is the best natural swordsman he’s ever seen.
>>202019862I hate this scene. Everyone claps and barks like seals when it plays because "wook! widdle daemon wuvs his brudder!" but it has absolutely no impact when you remember that daemon is an evil murdering rapist who groomed his teenage niece, and viserys is a retarded incompetent rapist who killed his wife and doomed 85% of his family to die in a civil war that he practically orchestrated.
>>202019988>she isnt likeableThat's not true, tons of normies like her. The problem is she's not interesting, so anyone that isn't a mouth breathing simpleton doesn't get much from her at all.
>>202019985Mind your words MONGREL if you say one more word I will see you hanged and your body fed to the dogs in the street.
>>202020171>t. boring ass nigga
>>202020063Just two more weeks until AI is making feature length videos.
>>202020070Yeah it's funny how he got that for making Aegon king and he's the one who convinced him to go for it, that part got taken over by Alicent but she's now supposed to be completely blameless in that.
>>202020174Where in the fuck can I watch the leaked episode.
>>202019024Sonia Mizuno must be amazing at sucking producer dick. In a just and merit based world, she'd never act again
>>202020174I want Jace to talk dirty to me too, it's not fair bros
>>202020171Found the Rhaenicent shipper legbeard. Is that you, Sara Mess?
>>202020153Still seething about two swordsGod that scene was shit
>>202019252I require the full-body picture.
>>202020171>Heroically pushes forward to double down on a bad decision.Retard should have had a vote.
>>202020174I can fix him
>why cant we just live in peace and be friends... men are so shitty, they always want war and most of them are rapists
>>202018976They really like their white/gray skies in this show
>>202020271hi Baela
>>202020171>is an evil murdering rapist who groomed his teenage nieceYou forgot to attach gigachad>viserys is a retarded incompetent rapist who killed his wifehow is he a rapist?
>>202020171this is fiction.
>>202019988She is though
>>202020193And then she betrays him! LMAO, with mothers like that who needs older half sisters with more dragons than you
>>202020171shit taste, Daemon and Vis = kino
>>202020275>most of them are rapistsAll men, chudcent
>>202020315this guy gets it
>>202019924I can forgive Beyond the Wall to an extent because it was really stupid but at least was funny of the sheer stupidity of the whole thing. That and some decent character interactions.
>>202019862Episode 8 was written like shit and you were fooled by how strongly it makes you pity Viserys and how well directed it was. I wish you guys would wake up to it already.>goes full nuclear against the Greens by turning them into conservative religious nuts and rapists and fetish freaks and frauds who lie about the king's final word>completely removes Rhaenyra's teeth (she didn't kill Vaemond or feed him to her dragon, she doesn't want the throne but feels it's her duty because of the prophecy)>completely recontextualizes and reverses how the Throne treats Viserys (originally he cuts and almost kills himself on the Throne because he goes too far in denying the truth just to defend Rhaenyra, in the show he finally finds true strength by defending Rhaenyra)>makes the Vaemond situation a lot less ambiguous (instead of being killed in Driftmark by Rhaenyra and then his family mutilated by the king, Vaemond has no family support and all but begs Viserys to execute him)>the time skip allows the writers to conveniently gloss over how Daemon marrying Rhaenyra was Viserys' worst nightmare, and how Daemon & Rhaenyra inexplicably allowed a dying Viserys to rot in the hands of their political foes for 6 years>after all the awful shit Daemon does to Viserys, we're meant to think of their brotherly bond as tragic and loving because Daemon helped him up the stairs for the sake of a political favor before abandoning his brother the same night again>Alicent forgets about 20 years of plotting and ignores that the Blacks just beheaded a man for speaking the truth, instead becomes Rhae Rhae's #1 fan because uh she smiled at her over dinnerSad music playing when Paddy walks in the throne room doesn't make the episode well written.
>>202020215Every production has their Sibel Kekilli
>>202020174Apparently the hate he gets for having "dark hair" represent the racism black people get when so someone mocks their dark skin.
>>202019874>Truth it GOT was trash since S5 with some minor exceptions like the Hardhome episode.True but the "minor exceptions" are all relating to action scenes, battle scenes or cgi.The writing is all shit past S4.Which incidentally is the situation of HotD, every cool scene is some action scene, cgi dragon or meme moment.
>>202020248Rip to Dawn. Loved the sun sticker they added to the hilt. This is supposed to be the greatest sword and most historic sword in the history of Westeros.
>>202020153Easily Robert for 1, even with another 6 literal who's Robert would stand a good chance of taking 1 of the 3 out.
>>202020328At last I truly see.
>>202020074The show began it's true decadence when Joffrey and Tywin, the best villains of the series, died. After that we got a mediocre season 5 with some decent moments here and there and afterwards it was clear D&D were absolutely done with the series and wanted to move on.
>>202020314Yeah she could have fucking mentioned that Aegon had absolutely no interest in being king and she's the one who caused this as well as did everything to turn Aegon against Rhaenyra's children.
>>202020350this. its the secred power of dumb and dumber, even when they fuck up it has massive fun potential. think about the gendry running back thing or jon not getting on drogon or night king javelin toss... the amount of memes just from this one stupid pointless plotline. they were masters of their craft
>>202020351>she doesn't want the throneJon Snow would be proud of her ancestor.
>>202020396Luke Roberts is a good actor (and the guy doing young Ned was alright) but the rest is awful. Would TV show normies even care about the sun sticker? Like had Dawn ever been mentioned prior? And they removed all the cool lines, made the uniforms shit and merged characters together
>>202020351It relied on short emotional bursts and it worked if you divorce Viserys's walk from everything else. You know, very sick daddy protecting his beloved daughter from the meanies and being helped by his brother in the meantime.
>>202020390Jace is actually biracial and Laenor's son, he represents the hate light-skinned blacks get from the dark-skinned ones.
>>202020468He was so cool in Black Sails. My favourite character.
>>202020351t. Septon Eustace
>>202020430Otto basically made her become an insane paranoid lunatic from the rain conversation. Whereupon what, she thinks the kids will always be a challenge so raises them poorly to avoid them being a threat? But then thrusts the retard squad into power anyway because of dying words, words she herself doesn't believe, at a time when the families are patching things up? But then Otto is playing 7D cyvasse and already has a coup ready and doesn't really give a shit anywayRIP ma nigga Bessbury
>>202020430I feel like we have fuck ups like this because there's a new director for each episode. They can't keep the continuity together because they each have their own agenda and goals for the show.
Season 1 is leagues above Season 2 so far.
>>202020431100% this. My personal favorite moment was the Hound throwing stones to the wights because he was bored and thus alerting them that the lake got refrozen and they could attack them. It was retarded? Absolutely. But it was hilarious? You bet it was.
>>202020414The White Walkers became the villains then, which were an incredibly formidable threat.Too bad they filtered all the retards thinking their power was in just being a horde of zombies with swords, when their true power was to pollute the atmosphere with a virus that could deteriorate IQs (as we see in Varys, Little Finger, Tyrion, Stannis etc).But I guess D&D should've spelled it out for the people in the back.
>>202020396if dawn is so le good how come nobody decided to take it from that shitty little house dayne?
>>202020515Just got done rewatching that, his Punished Woodes arc by the end was great, bags under his eyes just wanting everything to fucking end, and honestly he literally did nothing wrong. Great show, with only a few missteps
>>202020153Any 7 from history or from GoT era?>The Mountain >The Hound >Bobby B>Daemon Blackfyre>Aemon the Dragon Knight >Dunc>Criston ColeAlso all of Jaehaerys's first KG and the rest of the men Jaime lists off that he thinks he would lose to.
>>202020414That's an inherent problem with the franchise (esp in it's present stuck state), you get good actors to fill important early roles, they die, and it's harder to bring on good actors halfway through while the fatman hasn't written any decent new characters that you can slot in without trying to undo the Gordian knot problem of which storylines matter and which don't
>>202019464Yes?
>>202020528I mean if she wanted to avoid them being a threat she wouldn't have been mad at Aegon hanging out with Jace and Luke and thinking he'll be fine when Rhaenyra and then Jace rule. She would have been like, wow, nice going Aegon making friends with the future king, just stop with the Aemond bullying also I'll ask Rhaenyra for another egg for him. But nope, it's all you will be king Aegon.
>>202020408>>202020607Was Robert even that good in his prime to be a threat to the likes of Dayne, Barristan or Jamie?
>>202020515>>202020570Based fellow black sails fans. So many good characters I know he might have been a faggot but I loved punished flint and woodes literally did nothing wrong. Also Ray Stevenson was great as blackbeard and the tittes were amazing.
>>202020694Hammer beats sword, gg no re scrub
>>202019430Sure. Still boring
>>202018946>Daemon at the end of season 1Fuck prophecy, we make our own decisions>Daemon in season 2Spends the entire season in a creepy, haunted castle and is sent nightly visions about the people he previously scorned (also one random debaucherous sex dream with his mother that he never met)Does this mean anything to him? No. In fact, the only thing that matters is he gets a vision of the future seeing Dany and Bloodraven and his own death and Rhaenyra sitting on the throne and the White Walkers (and they're not even riding Spiders, mind you) and that single vision changes his mind. Wtf, I love prophecy, Rhaenyra must be queen. Fuck my free will!NAILED IT, Condal. Truly, this is how you write a character arc where the agency and free will of the characters is thrown away because we have two characters, Helaena and Alys Rivers, that have read F&B and watched GoT so they know all that will unfold and will remind characters time and time again against fighting destiny. And to really get this line across, they make the old god Weirwood face in Harrenhall the likeness of George R.R. Martin, proof that the author is LITERALLY GOD, the controller of their destiny.
>>202020531Yeah like how Condal says Meleys was a beloved dragon! because Hess wrote the Rhaenys scene so he doesn't take it into account.
>>202020275
>>202020694He was probably the best warrior outside of those 3 of his era but still the bitch ass targ was still good enough to seriously wound him and leave him bedridden for the rest of the war. If he met Selmy or Dayne if he was on the trident he would have lost. Jaime is a toss up just due to him being so young.
>>202020694Strength > SkillJaime admits that when he mentions people he'd struggle against, it's basically all big dudes. It's the entire basis for why everyone shits their pants about The Mountain. In the Dunc and Egg novellas Dunc only ever wins because he's tall, he's a laughably bad fighter that just brutes strengths everything.
>>202020350>That and some decent character interactions.The character interactions were the worst part (beyond the entire premise). You just know the writers were scratching their heads trying to find every single point of commonality between two characters, then awkwardly shoehorning in dialogue so the two characters can talk about it (you just know The Hound and Tormund are going to somehow bring up Brianne). This isn't bad, per say, but it was just scene after scene of characters bumping off each other
>>202020759And if he got visions of the future then why does Daemon even care more about the WWs than the utter downfall of House Targaryen and the death of dragons?
>>202020776Truly, "What would you have me do" is the "Harry stretches his legs" of our time
>>202020304
this bitch needs to go
>>202020795they kind of forgot that he is a targ supremacist
>>202020807AI sloppa
The bees got otto...
>>202020776aaaah I've developed an allergy to this phrase
>>202020794In my defense I wasn't meant to imply they were good, but they were funny at least for the most part. You can def tell the dialogue was becoming Marvel-tier as most of them were comedic in nature tho.
>>202020776Confirmed footage of Aegons cock
Would you watch a GoT animated series?
>>202020810
>>202020174How would sex with Jacaerys Velaryon feel like? Would he be aggressive?
>>202019502characters from a universe where only 9 and 10s exist. even the fucking zombie is handsome
>>202020708Flint by the end was insane, wanting a proto Trot continent spanning revolution because of a high society faux pas, it was great. Casting Stevenson was perfect but one of the flaws I think was not really giving him much to do, and not letting him chew the scenery like he did in Rome. Plus his defeat is awful.Shame Rackham and Woodes didn't get more work after and Anne didn't get her tits out. Also they should have cast JPK level chicks as the Velyarons if they were committed to the black thing
>>202020351Damn. You went thermonuclear.
>>202020807Perfect.
>>202020776they should have gotten married, but show aegon to book bbw rhaenyra
What
>>202020791Dexfags on the ropes, literally
>>202019502someone should unironically make a FE7 Dance of the Dragons mod
>>202020882was it rhaenyra or aegon that had these two dykes killed?
>>202020841Not if it looks like that.
>>202019130>"bro yapping">open and close my hand to imitate someone yapping
>>202020841yes. The books very much lean towards an animated series. all of the fantasy aspects and general scale can be carried over better to an animation than live action.
>>202020791This is one of the reasons why I like Bobby B. He was full unga bunga, but was very good at going unga bunga.
>>202020810>I have successfully whitewashed two formerly complex characters to make them saints*yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn*Shit like this should be a neon sign saying "I am very bad at my job, do not hire me"
>>202020430
reminder that rhaerhae suggested that helaena and jace should get married>would have prevented the war>would have made jace and helaena happy>would have made viserys happybut noo alicent didnt want it. its literally her fault
>>202020759Since the show removed Daemon's Valyrian supremacist streak (which would be ridiculous given that his daughters are fucking black and visually that angle doesn't work) and his sojourn with Nettles, they needed to give Daemon SOME reason to fight and die at the God's Eye. In the books you could argue that 1) Daemon had a change of heart about the nature of dragons after seeing Aemond torch the Riverlands, maybe he wanted to put Vhaegar out of her misery 2) he was getting old, was tired of Rhaenyra's paranoia and simultaneously wanted to show he was loyal to Rhaenyra and protect Nettles from Rhaenyra's wrath while going out with a bang. But nah, Condal has decided that Daemon's main purpose in the series is to carry out muh prophecy for ... muh reasons.
alicent continues to be a horrible mother
>>202020841Yeah, why not? As long as it isn't Got S7-8/Hotd S2 tier I'll never say no to more GoT content.
>>202020776This line works for Aegon and his situation. Nobody takes his valid suggestions seriously, nobody seems to want anything from him, yet they made him king and treat him like shit.For Rhaenyra the WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME DO?? just makes her seem delusional because her councilors have been begging her to do something for half a season, all her suggestions have been shitty or overly risky, and she only starts doing things after her previous indecisiveness robbed her of any other options.
>>202020851
>>202020841I don't think a story that has stayed stagnant since 2011 needs, what, a 4 medium (books, comics, show, and anime). Fundamentally the franchise is dead and only vultures are left
>>202020962uhh... fuck, I'm at a loss. Can we use 50:50 here?
>>202020851He would be gentle with someone of pure Valyrian blood like Baela and he'd be extremely rough with a peasant or a bastard.
>>202020963Stupid hightower bitch.She deserves to be as ass fucking miserable as she's looked every second of this season.
>>202020791Jaime still thinks he could best them all though. In the books he's probably right.
>>202020862I couldn’t stand her acting half as the time but she so was sexy. Also I kind of feel like the series took a hit when based Vane died. I know he had to but he was a solid foil to flint along with becoming arguably his most important ally till his death
TARG SHITS
>>202020963>"here, marry your daughter to my bastard, problem solved"Of course Alicent refused, it's transparently either an insult or a whore's attempt to cover up her whoring by hiding behind Helaena
>>202018976What do they even get from making this so muted?Would it not look better if the colors popped? The Black/Red and Yellow would contrast against the green? The environment would look lush, reminding you about how things could be peaceful, but instead these two contrasting armies stand there, popping out of the lush green - the red and black of blood, and the yellow of their rivals, a yellow warning popping out amongst the greeninstead we get a grey slabwhyto whom does this benefit, even in theoryThe mood is "dark" because there is conflict, so make the environment "dark and moody" like a storm? is that it? Mission failedI'm no color artist paid a six figure salary and given 40 hours a week to work on this, but what I just made feels better to me
>>202020999>maybe he was born with it>maybe it's maybelline
>>202020963Jace is a bastard, and Rhaenyra only made that suggestion because she recently realized how much she damaged her position. It was a suggestion made from a position of weakness that essentially said "bind your daughter's fate to the fate of my own claim, so if things go wrong I'm taking you with me" are you surprised Alicent said no?
>>202020908Aegon
>>202021028This annoying bitch and her shitty accent made me put the show on indefinite hold. Didn't she also have a thing with Anne? Who became a complete nothing at some point. I don't know if she got better.
>>202020963Would jace stop seething about mongrels, poorfags and silver haired people if he was married to helaena?
>>202021057>Jace is a bastardYou can't say that not in all caps
>>202021043Piss yellow and cigarette smoke gray filters hide the CGI
>>202020851I'm convinced that Jace is asexual, unironically.
>>202021057Surprised about Shiticent prioritizing seething over having beeen lied to 15 years ago over the stability of the dynasty and the realm? Not really.
>>202021043I think it's to hide bad CGI in certain scenes, but they apply that filter to everything for continuity.
>>202020963whoever watched episode 6 and thought "rhaenyra's offer was great why didn't alicent take it!!!" exposes themselves as a dumbo incapable of empathy or seeing different POVs
>>202019502Greyjoy looks luke the dude from Golden Kamuy
>>202021102Wow, video game filter.
>>202021062based
>>202020851Who are the two dragons in the back?
>>202021096>>202021102I would rather bad CGI stand out more than the entire show look bad
>>202019502>tfw no S support with Aegon
>>202021137Those are the two dragons inside him (borth hate mongrels).
>>202021070She did and season 2 and 3 were the peak due to Flint, Vane, and Woodes.Season 1 is probably 5-6Season 2 is about an 8 if you can stomach flint being biseason 3 is a 8Season 4 is a 7 but it’s pretty entertaining with Flint by himself vs everyone else
>>202019029Yeah, pretty sure they wanna burry GOT and do a full blown remake at some point, even if Martin doesn't finish the books.
>>202020963LMAO
>>202021043>>202021102
>>202020776>Aegon has ADHD>Helaena has autism>Aemond has ASPDWhat will Daeron have?
>>202019943Rhaenyra is just weird.
>>202021143i wish we could go back to practical effects
>>202021172Homosexuality probably.
>>202021043idk the more and more I think about it the color direction from Utopia needs to be taken by other shows, especially a medieval one with colorful armors to bring and end to the the drab and 'dark fantasy' vibe that every single one of these shows is forced to have
>>202021028Max was an incredibly mixed character and the accent was very annoying at times but yeah, fine as fuck, imagine someone like her for Baela/Rhaena. High yella I believe the term is. Also mad they gave her a gangbang rape sex slave storyline in like ep 3 and there wasn't an uproar over it (guessing because nobody really watched the show but still).McGowan has always been a weird actor to me, I watched The 100 first and he gave off the same performance there, but yeah for BS it worked better and them always scheming against one another was funalso>imagine the smell
Reminder that we have still never seen Rhaenyra interact with her siblings or Daemon interact with any of his kids.
>>202021172A tent allergy.
>>202019043not much they can do, he's not in fire and blood for half the dance, this is their way to keep him onscreen
>>202020882This is just a picture of Dyana and Sylvi
>>202021219>>202021219>>202021219new
>>202021168viserys thought it was a good idea, father knows best
>>202021194I was about to say yeah Daemon talked to his daughters but that was a deleted scene kek
>>202020999Could this unironically fix everything? A simple hair dye?
>>202021162Ok, I checked and apparently the only season I didn't watch was 4. I really enjoyed the rest though, so I might as well clench my teeth, ignore that chick and finish it.
anyone got the leaks for episode 8?
>>202021113Nah, Alicent was either hellbent on civil war and had a schizophrenic episode this season or is retarded and incapable of long-term thinking.
>>202021102You can feel HotD has simpler sets and they cba to shoot in interesting ways
>>202021229didn't he talk to them in s1 though? but not the adult ones
>>202020999Puberty helped this dork out a lot. Also fixing his posture (you're welcome for the bulling) and getting inspired by Paul Atreides lookA few more years on him and he can grow some stubble and he'll be a top chad.
Reminder that S1E7 is so fucking dark because if you turn up the brightness in you can see fences in the background. They 100% made it dark to hide their lack of budget. It was not a stylistic choice, lol.
>>202021273That was my initial reaction but then the only scene I could think of was the deleted oneI don't think he actually has had a scene talking to his daughters lolthat said Daemon never struck me as a particularly good father so whatever.
>>202021162I'd rate 1 higher but that's just because they're being pirates looking for that big score and not focused on the big gold/war plot of the later seasons
>>202021167Half the cast will be black and indian
>>202021162Season 1 is the best imo and by far but not everyone agrees with thisI do admit I am biased against season 2 because they made FLINT A COCKSUCKING FAGGOT, MAKES ME SICKI was so angry the night that happened because Flint was my literally me for a while, It caused me to break up with my girlfriend. Not joking. God now I'm angry all over again
>>202021169it's a psy op to discredit the middle ages and make modernity seem better than it is
>>202021238I would it no where near as good as Rome but it reminded me of it. It Being an old fag sucks but Black sails did really remind me when Rome came out for the first time outside of the first 3 seasons of Got. This drunk is off too bed.
>>202021404this guy talking about how it reminded him of rome and i'm just getting PTSD flashbacks to the endless Max and Eleanor yas queening moments (the entire show post s1)
>>202021188HBO made Rome full of color like it was, why couldn't they do the same for GoT/HotD?>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLHUKpkrh5c
>>202021352holy shit homophobes are pathetic kek. you deserve to die alone.
>>202022022better than of AIDS
>>202019862>>202019900>>202019989Fags like this doing story revisionism for the sake of 'OLD GOOD NEW BAD' drivel when anyone who actually watched that season knew that the general sentiment from /hotd/ was exactly this >>> >>202020351Fuck you, you turbo contrarians. When season 3 comes along you all will hate on that shit too and go "remember how KINO season 2 was???" and post shit like the Daemon x Rhaenyra fight or the Aegon and Larys conversation.
