>>217441205The issue with the Dance of the Dragons is that it's basically a sequence of grimdark spectacles and nothing more, there's no connective narrative tissue (literally what's the relationship between Addam and Daeron to make them face down in a climatic battle where both give their lives) because GRRM was trying to copy real history.Blackfyre Rebellion is much more interesting we learn there were both material and symbolic reasons for the conflict beyond just "they want to kill each other to sit on the iron throne" and it also lends to creating an interesting era of Cold War in Westeros where loyalties remain unclear and tense for everyone.

nice first episode but i am kinda pissed that every episode after is only 20 minutes long
>>217441318the more I read about Dance the more I feel gurm phoned it in. there's no justifying Aemond dicking around in riverlands as much as he did
>>217441337According to GURM a typical wagie earns 3 gold dragons per year (before tax and expenses).So a frugal wagie could probably afford 1 virgin cunny per year, however they are unlikely to have access to one before some Lord Thundercock outbids him and beds her first.

>>217441318>Blackfyre Rebellion is much more interestingfacts, it's actually insane how hyped i was to read more about the Dance and ended up being more interested in the Blackfyre rebellions, weird cast of characters with weird motivations and ofc Daemon Blackfyre and Brynden are my personal favorites
>>217441367Wanna bet one of the six things Georgr was going to complain about HOTD S2 in his blog was making the Blackwoods the bad guys for once?
>>217441282he bore the sword simple as
>>217441318Honestly your second paragraph is just a bit of waffle and a proper adaptation of the Dance would’ve also explored all those things. And Aegon II’s arc is far more substantive than anything coming out of the first Blackfyre rebellion could possibly be. The relationship between Bloodraven and Bittersteel needs the full four rebellions to fully explore which is the only thing I can think of.
>>217441435>The relationship between Bloodraven and Bittersteelthat's crazy because to me that's the least interesting thing about the rebellions
>>217441436Aegon I is a gigachad who has threesomes with his supermodel and tomboy sisters every night.B is unjust.
honestly this felt more like the witcher than the witcher netflix
>>217441456Knowing George he was probably gay and impotent
>>217441456>Aegon I is a gigachadis the most overrated king of them all, all his feats are inflated
>>217441435The real issue with the Dance is that after Aegon gets crippled, like two thirds of the war is just the lads winning every major battle offscreen, while everyone else dicks around until the climatic moments of the daemondbowl and Sunfyre's dinner.
>got music>starts to shit
>All of them. Yes, I mean it.
>>217441456Aegon I's feats are just>Balerion, GGAll his field battles were fought by Orys
>>217441435Apart from that the only thing I can think of is some of the psychology behind some of the lesser houses siding with Daemon. For instance, and this isn’t confirmed, the possibility that the Umbers rebelled against the Starks. But it all ends rather anticlimactically on Redgrass Field and the animosity between Bloodraven and Bittersteel is the only thing that carries on.
>>217441484You can't deny the legacy.
>>217441496Why did he do it bros?
>>217441512his legacy that Visenya and Maegor carried, in reality it was Jaehaerys who created the dynasty
>>217441518to spite the kingdom
>>217441518>crashing this realm
egg
>>217441484The only real "flaw" he had was that he fucked off to Dragonstone too much. Aside from that there is no greater Targ other than possibly Jaehaerys
>>217441535Redditeqsue contrarianism. The seven kingdoms and the iron throne are iconic and he forged them both. He is the progenitor of every story that came after.
>>217441535sure but none of that would've been possible without the conquest in the first place and it clearly was planned basically the second the doom hit he was ready to go
Why did he wanna keep putting a cloud in his ear?
People that snort and spit like that guy in this episode are genuinely subhuman.
>>217441581>The seven kingdomsi'm sorry i thought we were talking about Aegon I not Daeron II my bad
>>217441591I suppose you think thats terribly clever?
>>217441435Blackfyre is the only ideological war in Westeros if you think about it, the rebellion's cause was meant to embody the spirit of chivalry as the direction Westeros would have going forward over Daeron's diplomacy and scholarship (even though he succeeded in achieving something the Conquerer never did). But it also incentivized lesser lords and secondary houses to join because it was their chance to get one over their liege lords with land and power. There's also a cautionary tale at the end because Daemon ironically lost for being too chivalrous instead of practical in his first battle.The Dance doesn't have much going for it beyond the battles themselves. The characters established in the prelude don't do much beyond sit in castles then juat die. Most of the plot is driven by literal whos who enter the plot then leave. Dragon warfare is whack and it GRRM is winging it.The whole conflict feels like it was a patchwork frankenstein of a plot based on vague passages established from the main books.
>>217441603Bro thinks Dorne is one of the seven.
kinda ironic how martin after made a career of criticizing the classical medieval fantasy storytelling and he wrote an amazing tales with dunk and egg by being cliche medieval fantasy
>>217441608I chuckled?
>>217441603Daeron II couldn't even conquer Dorne, he had to marry them to get them into the fold, literally any of the past Targs could've done that and he let them have preferential treatment over the more loyal kingdoms and just forgave fucking 9 dornish wars of slimey fuckery and snake jew behaviorfuck i hate the dornish
>>217441614i like the Blackfyre rebellion because unlike the Dance where both nominees suck donkey dick, i like both Daeron and Daemon
>>217441282>BryndeN i have defeated your sides best warrior in single combat, so now my little albino brother let us have term-ACCK
>>217441621Martin just likes to boast about how he doesn't do tropes even though he does the same tropes in his books.
was it just me or was the show actually filmed way better than HOTD?
>>217441415do you have the screen shot of his first blog post?
>>217441406Including opening, credits, and "next time on"
are there any tits/puss/ass in this new one or should i not even bother
>>217441664kek
>>217441647This is trueIt's not an overreach to say losing dragons made Targs overall more likeable
>>217441681yeah (dunk's ass)
>>217441681just dunc ass
>>217441680doubt it the 42 mins was spot on for this ep no intro and not including credits or the preview
>>217441614it's crazy how the first blackfyre rebellion was just one big battle but it hold so much weight, like it was the downfall of the nation from that point on forward like the whole thing got Targaryens and Blackfyres cursed
Are squires supposed to wear full plate armor in battle?
>>217441406Might as well just have made it a movie

>>217441739They're saving the movie for the Conquest
>>217441761something you shouldn't be doing on a battlefield but fuck it
>>217441614The chivalry aspect is interesting but it’s clear to me that the rebellion was motivated by >Anti-dornish sentiment>Daeron II ending the Aegon IV gravy train>Ambitious lesser housesDaemon could’ve been doing it for chivalrous reasons but then he’s just a based retard who is getting manipulated by everyone around him. Which is not terribly interesting. He is after all a legitimised bastard rebelling against his brother who is already quite far into his rule. I disagree with you about the Dance chiefly because it is all about legitimacy, power, and succession which are far more universal bread and butter issues to explore. The entire Green usurpation of the throne, for instance, from Otto getting Alicent to Viserys’ bed to them letting Viserys’ corpse rot for a week ought to have been very interesting. But we never got that. The latter half of the Dance, from God’s Eye, Corlys’ defection, Aegon II’s restoration is just excellent dramatic procession. The relationship between the characters is just far more interesting.

>>217441835Hmmm I would have to have Fire and Blood 2 to cast judgement
TAOOBA
>>217441835Did the Dornish even leave any impact on the Iron Throne or its court? Feels like Bloodraven becoming in charge was the more concerning consequence.
>>217441858fire and blood and a dance with dragons gave me everything i needed to hate the dornish
>>217441791Daeron II is a bastard and was never legimitised, of course there was going to be a rebellion.
>>217441849He was the one who actually negotiated Dorne joining and had Daenerys marry the Prince of Dorne. Baelor just arranged the marriage to Myriah.

>>217441239>Alt Shift XDude's forfeited pretty much all credibility as far as this show's concerned. Personally I was disappointed as hell at how easily they make a kissass of him.
>>217441861perfectly casted and wasted on ryan Condom slop
>>217441874Daeron II was the anointed king and had already ruled for over a decade, and he was always a legitimate Targaryen prince he never needed to be legitimised
Did they even have eggs back in those times?
>>217441889I've no hesitation calling Daemon a complete asshat who deserved what he got but I can't believe he was as noncy-looking as whoever shat that picture out seems to imagine.
>>217441903no eggs are a modern invention before that birds just sprung out of holes in the ground
>>217441900
>>217441914Daemon fan art is retarded, he was described as being the closest looking descendant to the conqueror just with medium length hair and yet all these people draw him like he's rhaegar
>>217441791>The latter half of the Dance, from God’s Eye, Corlys’ defection, Aegon II’s restoration is just excellent dramatic procession.I feel like it's just wasted potential. Daemon and Aemond don't really much history or buildup to make the God's Eye a satisfying or cathartic climax so it's more about how over the top the fight itself is than the characterization.Corlys defects but he's more like the token good guy whose not really loyal to the Greens (hence why he's the only member of the council who got arrested but got away with everything). Like at least send him to the Wall as the end to a man who was nakedly ambitious and always trying to reach the top.Aegon II just gets jerked off by someone else then gets killed by a random literally who character.
>>217441929>Daemon fan art is retardedMost of it anyway.
>>217441941what a man, great fighter, could've been a good king, oh well
>>217441194who was the drunk man?
>>217441941how did he die from an arrow with all that plate armor
>>217441969If there's one thing Westeros doesn't have enough of, anon, it's vain, stupid kings.
>>217441975Some Targ shitter
>>217441988because a evil blood magic nigger was involved
STOP RAPING SER
>>217441988BLOD RAVEN WAS AN DREDFUL SORSEROR !!
Why does the showrunner for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms look exactly like the priest from the next-gen DLC quest of The Witcher 3?
>>217441937Aemond is still Viserys son and, again, we shouldn’t let HOTD cloud how the build up to the Dance could’ve gone down. Plenty of potential to make it more interesting and to expand their relationship. Moreover, the relationship of the two characters is incidental to what it represents to each of the characters individually. Daemon, killing himself to save his son and daughters. Aemond his family and whatever was going on with Alys. A great catharsis. Corlys is extremely interesting. Highly ambitious but loses everything and abandons all pretensions to the throne to save his granddaughters, but still manages to scheme to come out the other end in an alright state. Aegon II is pure kino you sort of have to concede that.
>>217441996can we at least try for non-spoilers? its fun seeing anons reactions when they don't know the story

daemon waters was lucky to die when he did. if he'd lived he'd only have turned into a fatter dumber much less amusing robert
Why is dunk looking so confused and lost all the time, is he dumb?
which targaryen establishes ICE for westeros
>>217442055true, he became a legend because of how he died more than because of how he lived, Robert should've died after killing Rhaegar
>>217442059Dunk the Lunk, thick as a castle wall
>>217442055I interpret Daemon as a character constantly trying to prove himself and frustrated that his bastard status hampers him despite being acknowledged as a great man. He would probably overcompensate and try really hard to rule justly but ultimately fail.
>>217442030see >>217441995 but for vain stupid kings substitute "sassy whores". Because they're not a completely predictable and crushingly boring cliche at all, no sir.
>>217442059he's trying his best :(
>>217442059>is he dumb?worse he's poor
So Unc gave birth to Brienne of Tarth?
>>217442059please dont slander my comfort self insert favorite character
>>217442078Daemon proved he had Ned Stark levels of stupid "honor" he would've been poisoned 5 years into his reign if not completely out maneuvered
>>217442098And Hodor possibly
>>217442060>which targaryen establishes ICE for westerosthis is a good question, let me think
>>217442059Don't trouble yourself unnecessarily, Sakura. He just needs a good dump.
>>217442060I immediately thought of Viserys II but I don’t know why
>>217442059The writers, GRRM included, are over-relying on the "fish out of water" trope. It's an easy, cheap gimmick to establish the comedic setting.
>>217441894They're just emphasizing the "underdog impoverished knight trying to make his mark in a tourney filled with famous lords" angle of the story.
>>217442152>>217442157How else would we root for him?
>>217442149same but i can't think of anything specific, i guess bloodraven was kind of like ice
>>217442016>killing himself to save his sonHis WIFES son.

>>217442185my poos look like this

>>217442217in our hearts, yes
>>217442189she'd curb stomp everyone, no-ones magic comes even close to what anyone in her world can do
>>217442176He just has the look
"A night in the seven kingdoms"is the perfect movie background for noise, i will start watching it in bucle instead of lofi shit
>>217442232he's like Trump if Trump wasn't retarded
>>217442055Daemon seems to be getting some serious stick today...He's a bit beside the point where the rulership's concerned though because the *real* ruler would have been his large (but not *quite* large enough) brained Hand, Aegor Rivers. Who'd probably have had an absolutely cuntish time wrangling all the shit-witted graspers that made up their side's following.
>>217442225I could beat her
>>217442185>We could have gotten this with Daenerys
Imagine I posted a webm of dunc dancing.Dunk the Funk.
>>217442189I could punch myself for being so autistic but here goes: As Frieren probably draws whatever magic she uses out of something like the Spellweave in the Forgotten Realms instead of relying on Jawge's backasswards "BLUD MAGICK" she'd be about the most individually powerful party in the world.
>>217442271meanwhile Daemon and Gwayne chilling with the 7
>>217442185DUNCAN MY SONYU MUST CHOSE
>>217442329I don't think you're wrong but the situation as I see it's such that what you'd have would be Daemon saying "take care of it Aegor old chap I'm no good at the brainy stuff what haw haw?" to at least 90 per cent of business.

I like how ASOIAF media insists on depicting Maekar as this crispy old dude even though he's supposed to be Baelor's baby brother
Is this supposed to be a young varys?
>>217442501Yea Dunk ends up becoming the warlock that throws his cock into the fire

>>217441194>stop raping, sirKINO
>>217442517I dont think I will watch this show...
>>217441394i wanted to see those balls dangling
>>217442494Baelor is supposed to be 40, Maekar about 35. Because TV casting has to age-up all the kids by 10 years, we're stuck with 50-year old Baelor and Maekar. Hell, Sam looks like he could play Daeron.
>>217442525Egg is a pussy bitch. Give me my Gaemon Palehair kino already.
I wonder if Daeron will make a surprise appearance like Jaehaerys in the hotd premiere.
With Maekar we've officially seen half of the kangz on screen.
>>217442494no anon no they're giving an ironic "tip of the hat" to the "fandom" and showing they're "in on the joke" by ensuring Maekar gets shit on...nah, they're just thick cunts
