"FIXING" House of the Dragon S2: Ep 8
We finally saw episode 8 of House of the Dragon. While it may not be as bad as season 8, it's far from the best that Game of Thrones has to offer. Let's discuss and see if we can fix some of the scenes...

House of the Dragon Recap Before Season 2
💯. Move over. The Starks are coming.
😂😂😂 so true
Dawg Logan’s back ofc she’s gonna be in the movie
I’m all for LGBTQ representation, but this came out of nowhere. I liked it when it happened but it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I never saw Rhaenyra as queer and I don’t think acknowledging that she sometimes wants to be a man in a world like that is not explanation enough. I just don’t think they set it up in a good way
Leave it to men to not like the most powerful woman in the series😂
Idk she’s far more unpredictable than the ole big V ever was
Not 90 years... until he's 90 😂
It's not Disney
Yes it is. Disney bought fox, owns the X-men, and made this movie.
That was literally the main plot point of the movie 💀
do you live under a rock
You may want to research before commenting
"you joined at a low point" 😂
But you just did the same damn thing buddy
Mine seems to have come out after the premier.
Not everything needs to be a big secret
Wow I have made a point not to watch the trailers or any videos on Deadpool and wolverine but thanks to this short you have spoiled it for me thank you
Welcome
Because it helped make a hell of a good trailer
Glad I never watched the trailers😂
This is why I don’t watch trailers anymore for new upcoming movies. So I can be pleasantly surprised. It’s called having patience. 😅
I stopped watching trailers about 10 or so years ago (well for movie/series I care about) and its one of the best decisions I've made. I saw this movie and had no idea what the premise even was. All I knew is Deadpool and Wolverine were in the movie together. This made the whole movie significantly better. Sure, it sucks not being able to get hyped when a trailer drops but the pay off is totally worth it.
Man they really didn’t believe in Ryan.
Who cares
Thats why i stay away from trailers anymore
The Acolyte is a bad tv show
Keep bitching😂😂😂🤣
They already said it was specifically because she really wanted to go to the premiere. Obviously she couldn’t have gone to it if her cameo wasn’t a secret. So it was really nice of them to do that for her.
Why couldnt she have went? Regardless if she was in it or not, she was in Logan and plays his daughter.
@Ricky_Ticky_Timb0 she was with Hugh Jackman and it would already have spoiled her appearance anyway
I mean its a multiverse movie, I feel like it was obvious she was going to appear at some point being such a important character to the story of Logan.
they spoiled so she could go to the premier
yeah they did a good thing for another human being and people are mad abt it 😭
I doubt that cus plenty other situations exist like this where the actors ended up going to the premier.
@@thecouchgambitpodcast Levy actually stated that himself.
@@relik0fages Then that's a noble reason and I understand.
Stop crying
Never
Bro stop your yapping
Nope
Say you didn’t read the comic without saying you didn’t read the comic
You can tell the creators of the show tried SO SO SO SO hard to make us hate these Supes, making them do all sorts of bad shit just to cover their tracks in case anyone saw them for what they really are, cool, badass superhumans with real problems
This show has always been a comment on politics/big companies. Are you just now realizing that, now that they made it slightly more obvious.
Y’all just want to complain at this point… and you were obviously not paying attention the whole time. This show has been gory and violent, The show has been sexual, and the show has been political since day one. The Boys have been making fun of American politics from the left and the right from the beginning if you’re just now noticing that, you’re just willfully ignorant. Just say you don’t like season 4 and leave it at that, because you just sound dumb saying all this is new and suddenly out of nowhere. The people that are complaining don’t like season 4 and the show now because they just now realized the show is making fun of people like you.
Season four narrows the show closer to the events of the comic no point in complaining about the show and it’s politics when the comic had already been doing it
Okay saying the show is suddenly political (which it isnt) is one thing, but are you really claiming the gruesome violence is anything new??? The first episode had a girl literally getting blow up in like the first 10 minutes! Then they blew up translucent! The gore and sex shit has been part of the show since the first episode.
Yeah I don't watch the show anymore they are just using it to trash a voting demographic. I am tired of the whole left vs right part of America. I grew up when we all got along and political talk was off the table. This whole us vs them is ruining America. Most protesters on the right and left now don't even know all the facts they are just driven by feelings over logic.
It has always been the least subtle, in your face politics since the beginning. If you’re just seeing it now you might have a learning disability.
Holy shit you guys haven't had your brains turned on for the previous seasons IDK what you liked about the show but if you're only getting this impression now you fucking missed the point Did you think it was cool Scottish punk fights Superman? I'm sorry about that time your mom dropped you it has clearly affected you and your development
The Boys has never been subtle, and has never pretended to need a justification for gratuitous violence. Idk wtf these knuckleheads are talking about. When the series started off by making fun of Disney and the superhero genre, that wasn’t too in-your-face, but this somehow is? And don’t you think there is a legitimate parallel between the way Vought and Homelander try to manipulate people en masse, especially through patriotism, and the way conservative media and Trump do the exact same thing?
L
No I think the whole point of season four being so upfront was the fact that the wrong crowds were getting the wrong ideas from the show thinking Homelander was the hero
Nobody thinks he's the hero he's just cool and acted insanely well.
@@rustyshackleford2792 right but certain groups identified with him
Ya'll never read the comics. Have you?
Season 4 has the worse writing so far
No, you’re wrong. The satire in season one was perfect season four was just in your face about it not even subtle that’s not how you do satire , which is why I say the boys season four has terrible writing
Im not defending the show for a variety of reasons, but the whole thing, from start to finish has been about politics😑 The showrunners themselves have said since season 1, that HomeLander is just an allegory for Trump. How can you talk about bad writing when you lack visual and reading comprehension as a basic concept, and are only just queuing in on this now?...
We talk more about it on the podcast, We all knew where the political sympathies of the show were; however, the way that seasons 3 and 4 handle the political elements of show is just lazy and with season 4 in particular it's even worst given that the other Elements of the show are just as lazy, if not more.
Papa John’s #1
Because this episode was basically designed to get the thought in the heads of the Targaryens about the dragon seeds, I would save judgment for after the series is over. These are the type of episodes that build on character motivation, as well as introductions to important characters in upcoming seasons so overall not agreeing with this take yet.
It's true that the series could still be good overall if the next episodes are good. It doesn't mean that this episodes problems disappear. I really hope that the last few episodes are good, I'm rooting for the series to be good. We are huge Game of Thrones Fans.
I think they're dragging this Deamond hallucination plot too much. I agree with your point that Daemons character is usually a mystery. Look at the battle at the stepstones. No one knew what he was up to hence the disagreement between Corly's and his brother. I also hate that they're making Raynera into this docile character. She lost her daughter and her son because of the Greens and she is not angry as a mother. The first emotion felt of loosing a child as a parent is RAGE. Sadness sure but mostly rage. Look at Cersei in GOT. She was angry when they killed Jeffery that's more realistic. I need her to burn shit down.
Very much agree with you when it comes to Raynera. She's becoming very passive and is not really carrying the same momentum as was promised in the last episode of season 1 where she was super pissed that her son died. She became someone who really didn't want to go to war. Which can still work, but I don't think it's proven to be as interesting as of now.
Corlys more than showed he was worthy of being hand of the queen. They showed he commands respect at Rhaenyra's war council. He controls the largest fleet, he's fought in wars, he's traveled the world, he sat on Viserys's small council and was a prominent member, he's the grandfather of Daemon's daughters and in name Rhaenyra's sons. He's the obvious choice. There's no reason to question the decision to make him hand of the queen.
You're right he is the best person for the job, but that's not what we were saying. The main issue we had is he didn't do enough in season 2 and his character felt left behind compared to everyone else. Yes, you can take what he did in season 1 as an example of why Raynera chose him. However it feels like the show runners didn't know what to do with him until 5 episodes in.
kangz great pod
Thanks!

Thanks. We tried.
@@thecouchgambitpodcast The official podcast seems biased. Raw takes >>
@@davidhudson5109 Thanks man. Appreciate it!
Ah yes, maidenless Reject 666~!
Can we get a review of the "final season" of RVB from you guys?
Hey, I'm the fat one on this podcast. I'll speak to the others about doing a review of the final season.
How do you not understand that its in reference to him being disavowed of being heir because of his actions. Thats how he made her. How is this hard to understand. Daemons own actions led to her being proclaimed heir. You guys should stop lol. Not hard to understand.
That was more involuntary though, if anything Viserys made Raynera who she is more than Daemon since it was his decision. If we are going based on what the show said then no, Daemon did not "create" her. Defiantly affected her, but did not create her. It's ok though, you're obviously struggling with this. We are here to help you.
@@thecouchgambitpodcast it's not about what actually happened. It's about how daemon FEELS. Big concepts, I know.
