Actually, House Velayeon is a VERY wealthy house. IIRC in Fire and Blood, it’s stated that Coryls 7 voyages brought him more wealth than the Lannisters had at one point.
He definitely just stole all that stuff from rich foreigners though 😂
His first trip doubled his houses worth, he eve n sailed to Hardholm, in the books Corlys is a beast
@@MadmijI'm pretty sure, that he also built some profitable trade routes. The Ironborne in asoiaf aside, most people that were raiding also built vast trade routes.
@@Madmij Nobody becomes wealthy ethically in Westeros lol
😂😂😂 it always amazes me how people just display their racist sensibilities and are proud of it@@Madmij
Robert Baratheons grandmother was a Targaryen. Robert and Rhaegar were 2nd cousins. Both are descendents of Rhaenyra.
Came here to say this
I was trying to pay attention , but I could not follow along whilst distracted by this twitchy af host looking like someone's blowing sand in his eyes non-stop...
@@johnymey4034that’s really rude and ignorant. Good thing he doesn’t talk out of his eyes…not once did his voice tremble or stutter so I don’t understand why you had so much trouble following. Maybe you’re just dense and it has nothing to do with his tick/twitch.
@@johnymey4034dude, go outside and take a breath. Sheesh. Gross.
Rhaenyra and her Siblings as her son married Aegon’s Daughter Jeahaera.
Lann the clever? On the field of fire?!?
Some true experts here
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂
Right? I could do a better job at talking about ASOIAF lore and I haven’t even READ THE BOOKS 😂 literally just from TH-cam videos but even I know that was completely wrong
Lann the clever wasnt at the field of fire....it was Lorren Lannister. Lann lived during the age of heroes, long before the andals arrived at westeros
9:50 Ormund Baratheon (Robert's grandfather) married Rhaelle Targaryen. I believe that was his main claim to Targaryen blood
Lan the clever was NOT around the time of aegon the conqueror.
Yeah I caught that too 😂 “game of thrones experts”
Facts I caught that too 😂
My only complaint is Coryls sounds so much more bad ass and respected in the books than what’s portrayed in the show.
Hats off to the two experts. Their explanations were easy to follow and informative.
Man I’m not gonna lie, I used to come to this channel specifically for things that I missed when watching these episodes. Yall used to be SO GOOD at avoiding spoilers. But this season it seems like every video yall say something like “keep an eye on this character” or “they will come into play”. I like to be surprised when I watch these shows and not know what’s coming or what to watch out for. But I also like to watch your in depth analysis about the details of the show. Now there are too many hints :(
Totally agree.
Catching up midway thru season 2..easily confused so..THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
Love this show. If I can add a couple suggestions that will improve the show:
When the guests say they don't want to reveal spoilers about how sometimes it's the smaller armies who win, the Greyjoys are currently undecided but they may change that soon, etc... those are actually spoilers even if you don't say it explicitly. My suggestion is to try to avoid those types of comments since they don't add value and just spoil the show for us who are trying to avoid that. I specifically don't follow some channels because I'm afraid they will ruin the show for me.
My other comment/suggestion is that I think you guys should go through the questions and do a quick rehearsal ahead of time if your production schedule allows for it. Sometimes the two ladies get questions they clearly didn't expect about super specific stats like comparing army sizes of different regions and then they are actually pretty good at improving. But if they had some warning they would be able to answer those questions better. Not everyone has the whole wikipedia memorized and they shouldn't be expected to!
Keep it up guys!
This show is a must watch after every episode, thanks for explaining things alot further
Brings back the "water-cooler" talk
Thank you to these Westeros experts over here, there is so more lore for a newb like me to catch up on. Appreciate videos like this 👍
Great vid, love the special guests
It would be interesting to have a video on the swords of each house at this point in HOTD, especially in context to what we know from the original series. Keep up the great work.
Love love loveeeee this kind of format of video, some other ones are way to long, this is a great history lesson style!
I would sleep perpendicular to the sloped sky cells, just saying.
Great Breakdown! Amazing work!
Lann The Clever didn’t cede his throne and Casterly Rock to Aegon the Conqueror. He was the one who founded house Lannister by tricking Casterly Rock away from the Casterly family. Difference of like dozens of centuries.
Also, even more contrary to this lady’s point, King Loren Lannister, the King of the West at the time Aegon invaded, 100% fought against the Targaryen invaders. It was part of his army that straight up burned in the Field of Fire. He didn’t bend the knee til after he got his ass kicked.
If you’re gonna give us everything we need to know, might wanna double check the facts…
Hard to fact check when the show is vastly different from the books.
@@jasoncombs3232lol big screencrush fan????
@@Windrammer doesn't have to be, when the show is changing details under the supervision of the Author, but the show didn't change those details, so that phrase is just a buch of nothing in this context.
Right? Hearing some of these “game of thrones experts” talk about this stuff and get it wrong is crazy 😂
@@Windrammer They don't have to be fan boys to recognise the difficulties with these videos. A little leeway goes a long way.
Very helpful, thank you
Wonderful video Ryan ! Great details
WOW very knowledgeable & amazing video
It's a bit past midnight and this video is uploaded by screencrush. Now I have to watch it before bed 😅
What the heck country u live in?? It's 3pm here in the States
Must be from ISRAEL😂@@spuddawg02
I was trying to pay attention , but I could not follow along whilst distracted by this twitchy af host looking like someone's blowing sand in his eyes non-stop...
@@spuddawg02you must be a kid that never traveled if you think the ENTIRE US is one time zone and as well if you think only people from the US watch the show.
@@spuddawg02I'm from India.
I love this show, and all of them tou do. It truly helps me understand these shows and movies even better.
This was a great explanation. This was a good one.
Not a big book reader but I enjoyed all the good info from this panel about where we are in the house of dragons so thanks 👏🏼
Fantastic vid. Super helpful. Thank you
Lann the clever and the field of fire...what a scholar...😂😂
“Game of thrones expert” lol I think she was the diversity hire
The GoT scholar saying northmen are coming down from Hardhome 🤔 she may have meant Last Hearth
These GOT experts 😂 also Lan the Clever at the field of fire???
Ok, so, I honestly really wish they'd just decided to extend the storyline in season 1 w/ the younger versions of the characters through the entirety of the season. It was a hella awesome storyline & definitely deserved way more time spent fleshing the characters out in their most formative years.. Then they could've easily started season 2 w/ the big time jump to the older versions, instead of the confusingly jarring way of doing it mid-season. Also, 8 episodes is very lame. The producers should've, @ the very least, matched the 1st season w/ 10 episodes. C'mon HOTD! Jeeez! 😏
How come it feels like you guys are the only channel that gets a screener lol. This is solely based on the speed of uploading your videos with in-depth analysis
Meh 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you for the explaining the lore!
I love Screen Crush! Thank you!
In needs to be said,
Screen Crush > anyone else on TH-cam that covers or “breaks things down”
On point, worthwhile videos, and enough uploads to make sense but not too many that it seems like clickbait clout.
Thank you Ryan, Doug and the gang.
this and new rockstars are the one i watch on youtube..
Mostly Doug
While I normally agree with you it’s clear they don’t actually watch or know anything about the GoT/HotD universe. A lot of this information is just plain incorrect and could have been cleared up with simple fact checking.
@@thomasleonardis711 Well, to add to that, GRM just came out and said that the book and tv universes are separate so now nothing matters 😂
@@TheAvengersAnalyst well that’s been clear since they got rid of Jayne Poole on season 1 of GoT which much later lead to that whole horrendous selling Sansa to Ramsey plot line. But the show is still based on the books so the book lore can be followed in general just expect zingers here and there to keep things unexpected or different.
When all 3 people are framed next to each other, it goes from lowest quality video and the person being further back, to the most high quality and the person being super close to the camera lol yall all need to frame like the lady in the middle.
Quick errors:
It was "Bleeding Kansas" where slave supporters from Missouri and other border states moved in to form militias and fight against abolitionists who had moved in to tilt the popular vote against slavery.
Lan the Clever is a legendary figure from the Age of Heroes and perhaps before the Andal invasion. He won Casterly Rock somehow and started the Lannisters. Loren Lannister was the king who escaped the Field of Fire and knelt to the Conqueror
Hardhome is a ruined settlement built on a natural port north of the wall. The Last Hearth is the closest stronghold to the wall. It is ruled by the Umbers.
Screencrush getting sloppy. Can’t even be bothered to read a couple wiki summaries.
Who cares?
Olenna Tyrell isn‘t even a Tyrell… she‘s a Redwyne by birth! 🤦🏻
Who cares?
Vhagar is specifically called the Biggest dragon at the time. Cannibal is actually small, it's the just the biggest of the wild dragons.
Cannibal is not small. He’s of a similar size to Vermithor and believed to be nearly as old as Balerion.
not small, just smaller than V. it’s the fourth biggest dragon ever if i remember correctly
@@thomasleonardis711 Cannibal is not as big as Vermithor. In the book thats never said. Its said that Vhagar is the largest, Vermithor the second largest and the Cannibal is the biggest just of THE WILD dragons. So bigger than greyghost and Sheepstealer. His exact date of birth is unknown but some point out to be older than Balerion (which is an obvious exageration) or born during the reign of Jaehaerys so younger than Dreamfyre, Silverwing etc...
@@Victor犭句Prawira Its never said he is the fourth biggest. He is said to be the biggest of the wild dragons. That means smaller than Vhagar and Vermithor and most likely smaller than Dreamfyre and Silverwing. I personally believe he is the fifth or fourth too behind those i mentioned.
@@Alejojojo6 while you are right that it was never stated he’s that large logic and reasoning explains him to be. For starters dragon age is often figured determined by their size. For the smallfolk to consider him as old or older then Balerion he would need to be of a similar size (I do agree this is probably an exaggeration however). He’s a wild dragon and not contained to the Dragon Pit which was known to stunt dragons growth. Secondly, we have the fact that this creature lived on the island of the Targaryens and ate dragons. If your entire political dynasty was based off of your dragons why leave that potential wild threat alive? Presumably because fighting it would have been too costly which means that it was considered large enough for Balerion, Vhagar and Vermithor to be severely hurt in the battle against him. That isn’t a small dragon or he would have been hunted down and captured/killed. Black Dragons do tend to be larger then other dragons although that could be circumstance (Balerion’s age/ Drogon not being locked up). Thirdly, if he was born during the reign of Kong Jaehaerys he’s only a few years (2 decades at most) younger then Vermithor while also living outside and not being stunted by the Dragon Pit which can be used to safely make them about equal in size. Lastly, we have the very fact that no one was even willing to try and claim it and that other dragons fled at its very shadow (Sheepstealer runs away rather then fight it) and dragons aren’t known to run. Martin doesn’t always like to spell things out but instead makes you think about them to come to your own conclusions. But there is more then enough evidence to claim Cannibal was large and probably around the size of Vermithor. So no. It is not outright stated he is as large as Vermithor but you are clearly supposed to picture a large powerful and savage dragon on par with the larger dragons of the dance.
THANKS for this, @ScreenCrush Gang!!!!
Where the hell are they getting enough sheep to feed dragons on Dragonstone?
That's a good question. I wondered the same thing. They're most likely being fed a lot of different livestock. Whatever is readily available at the time.
@@DiabolikSilhouette Yea, I bet more than a few people end up getting eaten too. Ugh.
@@traviswilcox3472 😂 Yeah, I'm sure some people end up being dinner too sometimes.
@@NewWorldOrder66 Yo, when a dragon orders Five Guys, ya best be showing up w/ literally 5 guys, not some puny human sized burgers!
🤣🍔🍟🐲🔥🐉
yeah crazy. they had to keep shipping in sheep.
What about the KingsGuard comparison?? I'm interested in King Aegon's friends and which side Harold Darkland will choose...
I pray they eventually make a series for roberts rebellion
May haps even an episode on the Battle of the Trident
Daryn (screen) crushed it in this video! Go, queen!
Lan the Clever at the Field of Fire? Gotta love "experts" that don't know the material 👍
@20:45 you mean like Rhaenyra going from dragonstone to sneaking into kings landing alone
Thank you for no spoilers 😊
Lann the Clever's from the Age of Heroes, not Aegon's Conquest.
The Velaryon's are the wealthiest house in Westeros during this time.
Roberts Grandmother was a Targaryen.
Harrenahall is NOT impregnable at least not after Aegon, the walls of the castle has been melted down in places by Aegon, you can clearly see that the castle is in disrepair in the episode.
Cannibal is the third biggest dragon alive during this time, he is smaller than both Vhagar and Vermithor. Vermithor was stated multiple times in the book that it was the second largest dragon alive.
The bay outside Storm's End is called stormbreaker's bay, and it's said to have had a lot of shipwrecks, however, Stormbreaker's Bay has a small port and the Tyrells blockaded the bay during Robert's rebellion, it's not impossible to navigate...
The North has a quite small population relative to it's size and is only more populated than the Iron Islands, Vale and Dorne.
The Baratheons fight with the Dornish constatly in the Dornish Marshes, the Baratheon Bannermen are as battle tested if not more battle tested than places like the Vale and the Iron Islands, probably only lagging behind the Starks who fight the wildlings every few winters.
Jace was the one to go to the Vale in the books, on his way to the North, Lucaerys was never supposed to go to the Vale.
And those are the mistakes I caught on my first viewing of the video.
I don't wanna sound like an asshole but for you 3 quoting the book(s) so much, you ain't seem to have read them.
So lore and cannon does matter. Isn't it more fun when we all have a common understanding?
What about the blockade by the by Velaryons? How is that affecting the Greens ie trade and resource?
Justice for dreamfyre
Lannisters have gold but Velaryon are literally the wealthiest house in the realm at this time!
Lann The Clever lived thousands of years before Aegon's conquest. Are we sure they are experts?
You do need an abacus to keep up with all the characters and regions they live in
Why would they send Ravens across the wall to Hardhome. Why would 2ildlings help the Starks or anyone?
That armor of valerian steel will be a double edge sword in the flames at rooks rest
27:09 what do you mean no spoilers they already named Dalton Greyjoy as the next possible Master of Ships
I would say that if you put Westeros into US terms, the North is more like Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas, lots of land, but very few big cities, very few big settlements of people.
Thanks for making this episode. And having Brianna on 😍
Harranhall is at a strategic location for garrisoning troops for quick deployment to control the Riverlands & set up blockades. The Tyrells control the area where most of the food production happens which is kind of essential. Both places are important for diff reasons logistically. Medieval society is very striated. Every High Lord of a region has vassals (houses)who in turn have lords with vassals & they don't always get along as demonstrated in the opening scenes of ep 3. There is always the danger of a coup within one of the 7 kingdoms during a war for the crown. People will also defect to the winning side as things change despite their original allegience. It's a political & logistical nightmare. Very few medieval kings ruled for long, extended periods of time & for most of their reign they were at war with someone. 😮
Man, I need to buy the books cause ya'll know details all the way down to the character' personality 😅
Petition for more Daryn content asap!!
Not the size of the army but how you maneuver it 😅
That's what she said.
(She lied.)
Did she say that hardhome was part of the north when talking about how long it would take to send ravens everywhere?
Storms end is the "Australia in Risk" of Westeros
I’m curious about Rheana and her egg. She told Aemond Vaghar was hers to claim but she already had an egg in crypt. Just that it didn’t hatch. For Halaena she bonded with Dreamfyre. An adult dragon born way before her. Strange how a very dreamy girl just claim a Dragon that scared Aemond when he was a kid, curious over if Halaena had a dragon egg in her crypt or not or was it only one egg and it was sunfyre so aegon took the claim coz they were twins (are they twins?). Also why didn’t Aemond had a dragon egg in his crypt when he was a baby? And was sunfyre from the dragon egg in aegon crypt when he was a baby? Seems too fast to grow and seems the same size as Syrax whos much older. can anyone explain to me pls?
OK, so Queen R has most of the north. It would be honestly in her best interest to bargain with the Iron born! They are the second fierce fleet of ships at this time and absolutely wildcard and a gamble but would be a good idea.
Also yeah obviously the iron born are the parallels to the Vikings
Bro Daryn is so pretty and so smart! Fantastic segment, I'd love to see more of both panelists.
They failed to show who is with which side? Like I have seen 3 episodes back 2 back I haven't understood that much what's going on
Can you get into The Maester Conspiracy? That the Maesters wanted the Dragons gone to make magic disappear
Hardhome? Didn’t know the starks at this point kept in contact with all the people from beyond the wall. Also didn’t know lann the clever lived past the age of hero’s into the time of aegons conquest
So the king died only a few weeks ago but the hightowers and their Army have been marching for at least 3 months?
I really enjoyed the panel but it felt rushed and you cut them off. I would like them to go more into details about the dragon riders and how they bonded/matched with a dragon. Thanks!
Brianna is dope
I think that the Tyrell’s were neutral during the civil war.
I thought that was the Blackfyre rebellion, but I may be wrong. It's been a while since I read Dunk and Egg
The only guy this war I'm really interested to see is Cregan Stark and his Greybeards.
I like this channel. But between you and Emergency Awesome, ai dont know who makes up more stuff out of speculation.
Rhaenyras mother was also an Arryn!
So is Vaghar the largest dragon? Or is it Vermithor or Cannibal?
Vaghar is the oldest and largest at the start of house of the dragon
Vhagar, Vermithor is second biggest.
Can we please not forget that Bella her dragon is born in pintos and she means it morning also look at the description it’s amazing
Lan the Clever wasn’t at the Field of Fire
Ryan you’ve become my go to for anything our generation. Love the channel and content. Being a geek is cool again.
I would imagine the Lannisters fear of Dany on the Throne would stem from the brutal crimes committed by then during Roberts Rebellion. Jamie killing Aerys, Tywin sacking Kings Landing, Ser Gregor and Armory Lorch raping Elia and butchering her children. While Robert and Ned might have had genuine reasons to rebel due to the Mad Kings cruelty, Tywin committed his atrocities just to curry favour with the winning side. As for Cersei on the Throne, firstly she had no claim to it other than being a Regent for Joffrey and Tommen. Tywin distrusted her not because she was a women, but because she was an ineffectual ruler, which is evidenced in the later books when she arms the faith militant and a hundred other blunders.
The Tyrells stay out of every war!
Did she seriously say ravens to Hardhomme? No wildlings fighting for “southerners” yet I’m afraid.
She meant harrenhall
I misspoke on a couple things in this vid that I am now facepalming about 🤦🏾♀️ We recorded early in the morning and I am a mere mortal but thanks for catching that 😊
@@darynrobinson8926 no worries. I thought it was funny. Wildlings should’ve been incorporated a long time ago anyway.
Could REALLY do without the gatekeeping toxicity when you tell us ad infinitum which GoT seasons (or which Star Wars films) we’re supposed to hate.
Just analyze the show and assume we’re here because we are interested in the show.
Rhaenyra going to kings landing was just silly.
She had to get closure, and she got it it’s officially war time
Shouldn’t all armies from the North collect at White Harbor & sail south?
Not sure why there is a hesitation with spoilers. Could be wrong, but hasn't the ending already been revealed in Game of Thrones?
Yeah Joffrey spoiled the ending
I'm guessing for "casual viewers" who may not have watched GoT. Or, rather may not have watched it a zillion times, like I have. And, yes, even the later seasons. I sill never forgive D&D for fucking the last 3 up so severely. Couple of see you next Tuesdays.
@@diegopinales86🗿
There’s a huge percentage of viewers that have never read the books. Also, this series doesn’t follow the books EXACTLY and there are scenes and events that happen that nobody can predict.
Some people didn’t really pay attention to the little side stories in the GOT tv show so they might be missing a lot of the key little moments or forgotten them entirely. I never read and mostly binged GOT so I only know them or was reminded about them in TH-cam recaps and explainer type videos 😅 but I don’t mind spoilers from the book or stuff that happens in the show that they explain further it’s still fun to see how everything plays out week by week
7:28 and why Lannistors not supporting Denaeres counts as sexism.
They were fighting against invasion, after all jammie didn't get called kingslayer just for anything
Corlys is the richest man in westeros during this period, thanks to all his navy adventures
12:46 the Baratheons are the Dwarves of George R.R. Martins world as to Tolkiens
So many loops in these family trees.
What about braavos?
VAGAR is the oldest and specifically is from the old world
I’m team French Revolution this shit
29:06"I can do the Blacks" 😂 we know😂
Imagine if we were experts of history, politics and geography of our world as we are for Westeros'
Lann the clever was never a King of the Rock.
i dont mind more people in the video but come on. you guys are using iphone headphones. i expected higher quality from such a big channel. oh and the 5 pixels i could see of you too
Lann the clever founded house lannister. Loren lannister was the commander king in the field of fire.
PS. Brianna is bae ❤
