I love it when villainous characters are given these inspirational moments. Too often in media, villains are evil because that's what a villain should be instead of allowing them to be humans with things they care about and fight for. Aemond is set up to be the best villain in the GoT universe because of this development.
Aemond is one of the most interesting characters for me in the show, specially once we see him as an adult. I hope he gets a very well written arc in Season 2
I guess he's their chance to do a Danaerys right this time. Would be interesting to see an A type personality descend into madness. How wronged does one have to be for that to happen? How much personal beef does he have to have with Rhaenyra and Daemon for him to become The Scourge of The Riverlands?
@@samf.s.7731 This is actually one of the reasons why there's a theory floating around that Helaena actually had her kids with Aemond. If the show actually does this for whatever reason, it will put the Gods Eye fight ......on an entirely different level lol
@@beckyweiss6072 I think, while I enjoyed his character from the book, he was like a Joffrey or a Ramsey with a giant flamethrower. I prefer the fact that the show is going for something different. Because while he is fun in the book, that wears off quickly considering how much screen time he's gonna get. And I really enjoyed show Viserys when compared to book Viserys, heck even GRRM agrees. So I'm looking forward to his tbh.
@@samf.s.7731 apparently George adores show Viserys. And yeah, it looks like they’re trying for something nuanced. I just hope it’s nuance that makes sense going forward. I can definitely see Aemond’s arc as “Dany’s fall done right.” Or at least that’s what I hope, a better done “fall arc.” Because I can see Aemond also being someone in the show that just breaks slowly with each atrocity that passes (like Aegon I think. )
It suits Aemond even better. Stared a far bigger and experienced dragon in the eye as a kid and gained it's acceptance. True dragon lord of old Valyria.
The second I heard those Targaryen drums I knew Ramin was about to give us something epic and he did not disappoint. A master of his art. Love every bit of this soundtrack. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
1:58 is Aemond's theme song and I'm literally obsessed. I can't wait to here more of this in the next season. He's such a huge character and so important, my favourite Targaryen!
@@Oakland510 Ramin can make it much darker. He's done it before, taking triumphant themes and making them darker. The beginning part of this track has already been reused numerous times over Aemond's scenes.
@@monishvj5172 Dragons aren't property to steal; they're as sentient as you and I and have as much agency in choosing their rider as their riders them.
I was a book reader first, and I was very excited for this show. In the books the Greens weren’t very likeable, with Helaena being maybe the only exception. I was excited to see Aemond claim Vhagar and the confrontation with the other kids after, but I wasn’t prepared to like him as much as I did after this scene. In the books he’s kind of just ruthless I guess, since Fire and Blood is an in-universe history book and there’s a lot of “we-don’t-really-know-what-happened-here”. I knew Aemond had guts to claim the biggest living dragon at the time, but this really put that in perspective. Not only was the actor who played his younger self amazing, but Ewan Mitchell is just so charismatic as his older self. Aemond is definitely up there with my favorite characters now 👌✨
I just have to say that the writers deserve so much better in Hollywood. Without them, this show wouldn't exist. Ryan Condal was a writer before he became a show runner. Even though I don't agree with some creative decisions made in this adaptation, I think that writers should be treated better by Hollywood execs. I hope you guys win, and please know that we are all with you. We care more about your lives than the show.
This track is so epic! First we hear some dance of dragons motif (from the title card at the beginning of the episode, and also during Vhagar and Arrax confrontation in ep.10). Then the dracarys sound effect, which leads into Aemond's theme. And finally, as he manages to ride Vhagar, the House Targaryen theme in a beautiful end emotional arrangement. Perfection!
I smiled in awe during this scene. Everything about it was absolutely brilliant. But especially the music... This is perhaps the greatest theme in all of GoT, apart from perhaps Light of the Seven and Night King. Amazing. Wow!
0:53 - 1:10 = Drogon chomps the son of harpy running towards Daenerys and then spits fire at the rest of harpys in the fighting pit in Mereen. 0:38 - 0:51 = Daenerys climbs onto Drogon’s back in fighting pit in Mereen. 2:35 - 3:11 = Daenerys rides Drogon for the first time, escaping fighting pit in Mereen. 1:10 - 2:35 = longer and slower version of Jon Snow rides Rhaegal for the first time
You don’t inherit a dragon, the beast chooses to bond with you. Just because your mother was the dragon’s last rider doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it. Aemond was chosen by Vhagar
@@samf.s.7731 wish it were brighter to your point but perfect. Only bringing this up because people debate if Aemond had a right to Vhagar or if Laena’s kids should’ve gotten it
It's a sequence, not a scene. My favorite from season 1 is the confrontation between Viserys and Daemon in the first episode Clare Kilner directed. I thought that was some masterclass stuff.

Daemon is the best villain not Aemond
@@Assa2sin-xd Thanks for your shallow opinion on the matter ✌️😶
0:54 that Dracarys beat drop 🔥
2:37 Reminds me of the time when Daenerys decided to mount Drogon for the first time which just hits me in the feels.
1000% !!!
❤️❤️❤️
The leitmotif here is derived from the same theme used for that scene “ Dance of the dragons “ in S5 GOT OST.
😭😭😭😭😭
@@Oakland510 It's because that theme represents dragons

Feel like you can even hear aemond laughing during his ride in this theme
2:37 purity for my ears, I like this theme from Aemond and Vhagar ❤️
2:37 Those "Aaaaaaaaaaaaa" remind us of Daenerys. Makes me crying
The Princess that was promised
😭😭😭😭
🥺🥺🥺
It suits Aemond even better.

2:37 - *when you take the Honda Civic out for a ride for the first time*
You the know the rules guys, Ramin only makes the best soundtracks for his favorite characters 💚
Targaryens are the standard. Fire and Blood 🔥
Then I can't wait for his future Aemond soundtracks! 💚
The second I heard those Targaryen drums I knew Ramin was about to give us something epic and he did not disappoint. A master of his art. Love every bit of this soundtrack. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
When he intercut all of those epic themes from the original show including the main GoT theme, he made the most Targaryen theme ever!
2:38 I'm crying... I remember the first time Daenerys Targaryen rode Drogon in the season 5 of GOT.
Nostalgia 💔

You are so wrong after season 2's writing, in it they butchered and did terrible injustice to greens especially to Dowager queen Alicent.
1:58 is Aemond's theme song and I'm literally obsessed. I can't wait to here more of this in the next season. He's such a huge character and so important, my favourite Targaryen!
2:32 Dany's theme has been incorporated so well here, it played the first time she mounted Drogon in the pit in S5
Best theme of the season. Regardless of who Aemond is, this theme is pure joy and triumphant. Very uplifting like the OG Daenerys theme.
Ain't nothing wrong with our boy, tho.
@@Ghostflowers there's a lot wrong with our boy, let's be fully real, but he's still my favorite war criminal in the show, love him
@@TsarofScars I mean, you're right. 😭😭
The transition into Daenary’s theme at the end is ughhhhh 😍😍😍 *chef’s kiss*. So beautiful.
SOVES VHAGAR🔥🐉
Book readers can confirm, that we will hear parts of this again in the future
No we won’t, this is too much of a joyful theme. There’s a reason why they didn’t use this in the finale when Vhagar ate arrax.
@@Oakland510 Ramin can make it much darker. He's done it before, taking triumphant themes and making them darker. The beginning part of this track has already been reused numerous times over Aemond's scenes.
I certainly hope so… the battle of the Gods eye BETTER be the highlight of this entire show
Yes
Yeah it better be.@@SuaveJoker
1:19- 1:34 totally sounds like a big and old dragon's theme, love Ramin ♥️
Team Aemond and Vhagar forever
Well they both will die in next season .
@@SJoey560 top spoiling this show
Say what you will about Aemond, he earned Vhagar fair and square.
Like a true Valyrian, right of conquest.
Fair? he stole it thats for sure.

Hey he was my favorite green in the book, such a menace ... Couldn't wait to see him get taken down. 😂
Also, Alys Rivers, need I say any more?
Aemond 💚
Prince Regent Aemond Targeryan, the blood of the dragon 🐲🐉
Seven Hells, one of the best songs in this show.
What a beautiful moment between Aemond and Vhagar. They at least die together.
That daenerys bit at the end almost made me cry
the best song on the house of the dragon soundtrack, and here i thought coronation was the best. ramin djawadi outdid himself again.
a fckn legend 😭even as a kid he was something else, he was so much, little icon 💚ewan and leo were so perfect for him

I love that he did this mix of fantastic compositions he's made. Also, hearing the main show's theme in the show is always a win for me.
Best character in the whole show 💚
This theme plays at the very first scene of the show when the title revealed, nice foreshadowing for Vhagar is the cause of war:D
I just started lifting weights this week and this song gives me immense power during my sets
Oh it's my echelon bike music for sure...
this should be the official opening of this series, not a repeat of GOT theme
I feel the same but the repeat of GOT theme is for recognition
0:54 is so Daenerys. RIP my Queen 😭😭
Danaerys is my Queen 👑
I've listened to this song on repeat 10 times 😭❤
Amateur 😂
