King Viserys is the prime example of “if you try to please everybody, you end up pleasing nobody”
I don't blame him at all tho, first born daughter on one hand and wife and kids on the other, he would've been a great dad if it weren't about duties
"Try to be honorable and the other 99% of people who aren't will fuck you in your ass for it" seems like such a strong song of ice and fire theme.
I loved the peaceful nature of Viserys, he just tried to keep his family together and united. However, Daemond ended up being right in the end.
I am forever doomed to anger one person in the pleasing of another - Viserys S1.Ep3
It's just having too fucking many kids/family members and an uncertain succession line. It's the perfect medieval recipe for civil war
Aemond’s “holy shit my dragon just started a war” face was so good I can’t fucking wait for Season 2
Don't worry, season 2 is here😅
Paddy Considine gave a career defining performance as Viserys. Matt Smith really shone too. Can't wait for season 2

@@GreyCerberus thanks lol
That little scene of Vhagar appearing from behind the castle wall amidst the heavy rain in the last episode was the best little scene in all of GoT and HoTD ever. That was SCARY.
TRUEEE The ending genuinely shocked me as well. like I thought he was going to make it ;-;. and the distraught on Aemonds face
That's my favourite shot across both series. Terrifying, but also cook as hell.
From this point on I knew something insane would happen, for the rest of the episode I was so fixed on the screen and in some state of shock, which rarely ever happens when I watch something. So good job to the whole team, can't wait for season two
Nope, the scariest scene was a little later when he WASNT there lmao
He was so damn big and bad ass, Arrax never stood a chance
I think the time jumping is pretty essential to the style of the show.
Ratio + k-pop better🤓🤓🤓🤓
OMG SO MANY BOTS
it is essential because the season would draggggggg if they didn't
I agree. The only thing that got confusing was keeping track of everyone's name and where exactly they fit into the family. That's not far off from what happened with me reading the books anyways because I did the same damn thing lol.
i can understand why some viewers were put off by the inconsistency in aging with some characters, but the folks like charlie who struggled to understand where the story was going after the episode 6 time jump make me scratch my head a bit. like, the conflict is the same, the character motivations are the same, with the exception of daemon and laena almost every character was still living in the same place, etc. i just dont see what there is to misunderstand lol. if you can't pick up on what's going on with rhaenyra, laenor and strong within the first 5 minutes of episode 6 then you're just bad at seeing context clues lmao
I like how Jackson actually gave a s**t enough about Charlie's opinion on this show that he actually edited in that he disagreed
Ratio + k-pop better🤓🤓🤓🤓
God fucking damn, 9 comments and they're all spam.
Lord have mercy these spam comments are fucking insane
i mean this moist meter is kinda all over the place,
it is as if he barely paid attention or remember anything about the show.
like since when viserys was bad guy, he was a ppl pleasure from the beginning, Aegon situation is not confusing either.
and not slow burn at all, quite fast paced except first few episodes, and kinda rushed needed couple more episodes for ep9, also the show handled the time jumps really well too etc.
@@TheArmidillionAire I can't even keep up with reporting them lol
I thought the time skips would be jarring at first and I was pretty used to the young actors, but when the older actors appeared my brain was just like “yeah that’s just the characters grown up”. Amazing casting decisions and the costume design and music for the show is incredible!
I felt Aegon was the only miscast, but the older actor was really good too. I loved Lucerys' time jump the most, dude even has the Bobbinghair lol
@@vincentadultman6226 lol Jace, Luke, and their younger brother are the Jonas Brothers of Westeros
@@youngrootv yeah, RIP Luc and Arrax, you will be missed
Can't wait for Daemon to poke out Aemond's other eye
Oh my god THE costume design for this show is so good, they should of had these guys working on RofP, maybe then it wouldn't have been so lackluster, what a waste of a billion dollars smh.
@@conwaytwittyer2667 RoP is passable, not a complete dumpster fire as many claim. But for a billion dollars sunk into it, the outcome is BAD. They need to focus on setup and dialog, especially the dialogues, and stop making the sets so generic. Finally, they need to include more lore. Rn they're putting in tidbits while introducing contradictory garbage. First season, so fine. If the next season is this bad, it's all downhill from there
George R.R Martin has actually said Daemon is his favourite character because you never truly know if he’s good or evil. The character rides that line so well and Matt Smith is doing him justice in the show.
In the books maybe, but in the show he's pretty straight up evil. He murdered at least 2 innocent people that I can remember
Yeah I like him and ill start trusting his character then he will go do something that reminds me that he isnt a good guy. Like last episode when he grabs rheanerys by the throat, quickly reminds me that he is still a villain somewhat
@@Jacob-hl1xr which innocent people?
@@hotmailbutts416 like killing the servant so rhaenyera's then husband could escape

Jesus 6 bots on one comment it’s getting out of hand
I started watching when episode 3 came out and couldn’t believe how good it was now I’m hooked on it like I was got
@@harambeepstein8009 glad to see another flesh bag here
Why, though? The 2 people responsible for season 8 aren't working on this show. It's on HBO. The source material is finished. GRRM will be a producer for the entire series. And this is still one of, if not the best fantasy worlds ever created. It just doesn't make sense to me why people were so worried, or just flat out not going to watch, when they found out that Dumb and Dumber weren't going to be anywhere near this show. I knew everything would be good as soon as they announced the showrunners.
Just to let you know Charlie they really only covered 2 chapters from the book. Most people thought this series would have maybe 1-3 episodes of buildup and then hop staright into episode 9 or 10. I actually think the slow pacing this season was a genius move by hbo because it allowed us to get acquainted with the characters in the show and show their personalities and relationships and how the kingdom was before the true dance of the dragons began.
How many chapters are there in the book
Yeah how many
Yeah i’ve started the book recently. It’s written as an account of history. You don’t get to learn that much about a character’s personality or get to connect with them the same way you can here. The slow buildup gives you that chance, and will probably make the coming conflict even more meaningful.
@@LK25278 HotD adapted 80 pages. Got Season 1 adapted 694 pages.
@@liamjm9278 It is mainly a history book so it makes sense they're not using as much, they need to show more personality etc
Vhagar and Aemonds scenes in the last episode were truly haunting
My heart was racing from the suspense the whole time even though i knew what was going to happen, and thats testament to the talent of the shows creators to create tension
same, my mind was running through many different scenarios on how it would happen but what surprised me was still when it happened
How would Rhaenara know Aemond killed him though? Werent they flying over the sea in a storm? He could have got struck by lightning, i mean no one else saw.
@@frostythesnowman9903 i think that if any of Arrax's chomped up and dismembered remains were found, even just some... it would be immediately evident that it was killed by another dragon, and that Lucerys had died as well, whether they found anything left of him or not. What else could bring down such a beast in such a way but another, larger dragon? From there its only a bit of detective work determining who the most likely killer was
It would already be evident that it was one of the Greens' dragons as the only other enemy with dragons at their disposal, and after that it would be as simple as learning Aemond was at Storms End and that he left with Vhagar the same time Lucerys did
When we see Rhaenrya at the very end of the season, she may not know all of this yet, we arent given a definitive answer on that, but I think she can piece together ENOUGH to know that her enemies at Kings Landing are most likely responsible for her sons death
I cant remember/dont know if they touch on this more in the books, but i think show viewers are given enough information and hints to piece together how they learned everything
100%. My jaw physically dropped when Vhagar killed Lucerys. The cinematography of that scene was wow. When Lucerys breaks above the storm into the open sky and everything goes quiet we knew what was going to happen. They both lost control of their dragons and it really showed what Viserys was talking to Rhaenyra about in episode one, how their control of dragons was an illusion. Something that was not explored at all in GoT. 10/10 finally
Same here
I was also thrown off by the amount of kids/pregnancies, until the last episode when they started counting dragon riders. If you have to ability to birth kids that can ride dragons, and you have extra eggs/unclaimed dragons, then it makes sense to try to have as many kids as possible
You should also bare in mind that this is the Medieval era, where a small cut on your arm can end with you dead. Monarchs, and nobles, would try to have as many children as possible, in case their firstborn didn't make it.
I like how Jackson felt strongly enough to say the show deserves a 5% higher rating. Go off king, don't let him silence you
wtf lol
He wrong tho
Pathetic fools!😂 California will be no more after this decade!!!😂👌
Kinda distracting imo. Save if for the podcast Jackson
@@A.F.1 I challenge you to eat my ass without laughing
I get the complaint about the time jumps. But HOTD is really trying to stay faithful to the source material, Fire and Blood, which is written like a historical anthology. The stories in Fire and Blood span hundreds of years and time jump quite constantly. So I think HOTD is striking the perfect balance of honoring the storytelling of the original material and taking their time enough to make us invested in the characters.
And what I like is they trust the audience enough to figure it out themselves. It just shows how well the show was written
Exactly, they're not trying to hold our hands like we're fucking babies or something. That's one of my main problems with RoP
I would agree based off of the pure events. However, the show clearly depicts the blacks as the heroes and the greens as the villains. In the books it is just two power hungry sides.
I learned that Charlie needs his hand held to understand a show
@@Ian-zf5ss audiences need someone to root for tbh.
I 100% agree on Viserys, i always thought he was a wimpy king, he ignored his brother's crimes and disobedience, he ignored his daughter's acts of "indecency" he just tries to please everyone, and i think the way the called him "Viserys the Peaceful" in the end was so fitting
I personally think that viserys being so wealthy actually caused Rhynaera to become so stuck up and entitled, drove Alicent to more desperate measures, ruined the friendship the two had, caused several wars with the triarchy only 1 of which are covered so far, and his stubborn refusal to even hear out the accusations against his daughter are a huge reason why things went from ok, to bad, to worse. I guess the morals of the story are:
1. Don't try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no-one.
2. Sometimes the truth will hurt, a lot. Despite this , refusal to heed it will hurt even more and cause further problems down the road (refusing to accept that his daughter is a bit of a hoe)
3. Sometimes rules and traditions are there for a reason, and refusal to take heed of them will result in your friends slowly turning against you.
4. Indecisiveness will come back to bite you. As you keep putting off problems for "next time" the problems only grow and fester.
Didn't expect so many scenes of tension and turns, but it managed to work on the development of nearly all the characters. For the most part, this series came out as a winner!
The actor who plays Viserys was the motivating factor for Matt Smith to join the cast. He wanted to act with him.
What an awesome call!! Matt Smith is a really entertaining actor!!
And they had some great scenes together
NO WONDER PADDY AND MATT FELT LIKE THEY HAD SOME GENUINE CHEMISTRY!!
And they both acted the fuck out of it. Best two performances. That scene in the throne room !
Paddy Consodine is probably my favorite actor ever. If you’re trying to cry, watch ‘In America’, if you want a fantastic slow-burn horror watch The Outsider.

S1-4 of GoT is so amazing and if anyone forgot how great it is, they should go rewatch those seasons

@@precisism1804Season 1 of Game of Thrones established House Stark, Baratheon, Lannister, Arryn, Tully, Frey, Targaryens. Jaime and Cersei’s incest, Roberts bastards, Neds execution, Brans crippling, Jon’s Wall arc, Daenerys’s dothraki arc, the concept of a council, a Hand of the king (Vizzy T’s death rip king) AND at the time no one knew these characters nor were we familiar with the world of Westeros. I love HotD and Fire and Blood is definitely an amazing book but GoT season 1 did A LOT with a lot smaller budget.
@@Grey_OSN it’s just an opinion of mine that is based entirely off of how good I subjectively felt they were
The first season is pretty much a warm up. The real show begins next season. I absolutely loved the time jumps, It felt like a viewer guide to what caused the dance of dragons.

The Viscerys walk to the throne was so good! Great build up for his character who is so lost at that moment!
For me the time Skip were actually done pretty well. You recognize each of the post time Skip character, you quickly catch on to what happened during the skip and you see the change in the character's actions and mindset. 80-85% is well deserved.
Viserys truly earned the title “The Peaceful”. He put so much effort into keeping the peace, that he avoided or was complacent in most of the conflicts in his life.

Fax. He was the best character in the show. I actually felt something when seeing him almost dead
He didn’t start any shit directly but naming his daughter his heir only to have two sons with the daughter of an extremely ambitious and power hungry lord was bound to cause conflict. He was weak.
I think he tried to lead by example as being a good man. Which has some merit. But he wasn't quite punishing enough. I mean he did remove otto as hand when he realized he was conniving against Rhaenerys, and the guy he replaced him with seemed like a good dude too. The issue was that Otto had already trained Allicent too well, and unfortunately he really did love allicent.
This show really shines were you read the base material, mostly because the entire first season consists on 80 pages of the book. 80 pages. That's what they had to make the entire season. They really made things out of nothing.

Really looking forward to more Jackson footnotes in the future.
I will be outraged if Paddy does not get an Emmy for HOTD. Truly one of the best performances I have seen in years.
I can understand that the time jumps can be jarring and were difficult as an audience member but Vicerys reign is crucial to understanding the story of the Dance of the Dragons and gives us more time to understand the characters involved. This show would have been terrible without the time skips as each episode would basically just be a block of exposition for the whole hour.
Preach 🙏
He sure as fuck earned it.
I am forever doomed to read hotd as how to train your dragon gg
But he is competing against Bob Odenkirk for BCS. Tough opponent.
The acting in this show was phenomenal all around. Paddy Considine and Emma D’Arcy really stood out for me. I’m so in love with this show and I can not wait for season 2.
Olivia Cooke absolutely killed as well. I loved all of the cast but those three stood out to me
Imo Paddy and Matt… these 2 absolutely did amazing. They appeared more than any other actors on the show and kinda were glue that made all of this story stick together.
I thought I would miss Milly when they did the time jump but I actually love Emma more, probably more to do with the course of the story from that point on- both were great
Daddy Considine 😫😫😫
Emma D’Arcy is the single reason i cant watch it, she just can't play that character.
The costumes are also absolutely beautiful, immersive, and thematic. The time jumps are also excusable since you can't just throw us headfirst into a continent-wide civil war that has complicated convoluted motivations in every single character. Season 1 was a prequel to a prequel, and wars don't start overnight.
what in the promotion
Jesus Howard Christ on a bike, it's been thirty seconds a d two likes and there's already 4 spam bits here. Get a real job ya freeloaders!
the costumes are overall consistently better than game of thrones. GoT had some beautiful costumes but some real stinkers too (anyone remember margaery's bowl dress? lol), whereas the dresses in this show have more of an internal consistency
Aemond had magnificent drip
Season 1 was just the first chapter
Everything from the visuals to the music to the underlying themes it’s perfect
What underlying themes did you identify?
Most characters do visibly age, but it's subtly and some aged too gracefully for a like 20 year total of timeskips (Cole being the prime example.) Many characters will grow grey hairs, have a receding hairline, present themselves differently and even have different body languages to signify time passing.
I'd say though, our two main characters start out as teens, and end with their mid thirties, which is a period in which their *everything* changes drastically. So I'd say their massive changes, contrasted by the extremely graceful aging of the rest of the cast, makes the timeskips feel a bit puzzling sometimes
its good to see Matt Smith getting some decent roles now.

Well as far as the aging up thing w/Viserys - he was cut by the chair which gave him an infection, was stated later he had a form of leprosy which made him rot inside and out and that's why he looked like he was aging etc.
Viserys was also known as Viserys The Peaceful, but his kindness often was his downfall.
The age jumps were explained to give some background to the relationship between Rhaenyra and Alicent as children growing up together, and how close they were until decisions outside of their control changed the trajectory of their friendship.
Respect to you for your take on this series though!! I absolutely loved it and looking fwd to S2 in....2024 lololol

This show is made with the sort of love and care that GOT needed in its final seasons and even with this show being as good as it is it’s hard to really enjoy it knowing how the story eventually ends tbh
I love how perfectly balance each side. They all have good side and bad mistakes. It really shows how a friendship turns into enemies. At first I was rooting for team Alicent, but now I want for team Rhaenyra to sit the throne.
Apparently according to book readers season 2 will have our loyalties bouncing between teams and justifying a lot of actions
nah as of right now i hate the greens. their side has that creep larys, otto, the horrible kids, criston, probably more i cant think to name. the black side looks a lot better imo
Interesting! I personally never rooted for team Alicent. Alicent in herself isn’t evil, but her whole family and team around her is just sickening, and she allows them to. She basically took her socks off for that sick man as a reward 🤢. Team Rhaenyra isn’t perfect either, especially from the outside looking in, but from our view, they are way better. Glad you switched sides 😂, but as you said, goes to show how balanced the show is!
Im the opposite. I liked Rhaenyra when she was young but as she grew older I grew to hate her

Remove sarah hess the feminist immediatly from season 2 before she ruins daemons charachter and the entire show for everyone. she insulted grr martin saying that he made alicent evil( she is a crazy villain in the books ) so we will change that in season 2 bec. women are angels and men are creating false image in books. (she hates daemon and she is upset that fans love him she said that in an interview)
The fact that they improved on the book characters, too... Especially Aemond and Viserys. Didn't think that was possible. Great, great acting and writing all around. I'd also give it a 10/10 without a doubt.

The story was told as a family drama instead of a political thriller and it worked really well.
As for the time jumps, that's history for you. Important events are years if not decades apart
I think they handled time jumps in a decent way.
And as far as I know future events will be chronologically closer to each other so this was some sort of a prologue.
I mean there’s not necessarily much of difference when dealing with medieval politics.
@@johannesziaether3916 yes the rest of the 3 seasons take place in 2 years in universe time
I also really enjoy how Goerge leaves the door open for different interpretations of his stories by insisting that they are not his stories but the historical accounts from the perspectives of the maesters.
Like how joffrey "spoils" the end in the original game of thrones.
I'm wondering if the big twist will be that they fake their deaths to hide in safety like they did with Leanor.
Your ability to articulate your thoughts is amazing. Than you for an amazing review
Finally, a moist meter that has an intro and a meter. Solid review as always
I hope Paddy Considine wins an award for Episode 8, what a fucking fantastic performance. The rest of the Dance of Dragons won’t have time jumps as the entire civil war lasts about a year and they’re going to stretch that to 3 10 episode seasons, might not be enough still but better than what we got now!

I think that they handled the time jump really well, they intentionally had the camera follow a single set of characters for what felt like 20 mins and only then did they cut away to the other characters and had us catch up with them. I will say the constant children and pregnancies did throw me for a loop tho.
The finale was a masterpiece
Wouldn’t go that far. It was a good episode though.
@@hotmailbutts416 yeah honestly episode 9 and 8 were better. Finale was still very solid though.
Na episode 8 was a master piece, my favorite in bot got and hotd
The jumpcuts were made because the stories of their youth don't matter much. They show how each character was, how the relations were, the mistakes that were made...etc.
Imagine if they didn't do that, you'd never understand why Aemond hated Lucerys, why Criston hates Rhaenyra...etc.
It was confusing at first, but then you understand why they were made and it makes sense
Exactly! This entire season was about getting the audience invested in the conflict.
Hot D was slow to begin then rapidly got exponentially better with each episode. I think it peaked at ep 9 with Viserys final days as king, but the season finale was great as well.

Love what they did with the transition in change of characters,it fills like we didnt get another batch of new actors but felt theyre the same person just the grown up version.
What they did was even though the new ctors came up like the a couple ep after,the new actors were present since day 1 and would study how the old actors act and the characters mannerisms,thats why we got this feeling that the young actors never leave the series.

Sadly, they do not even start filming until 2023.. So youll be waiting at least until this time next year or 2024.
Time jumps were a bit confusing but I understand why because they need to show the progress of time and that the characters have matured and changed. The women having babies thing was to illustrate how the women were trapped in this fate of having to give birth as a primary duty and the pain and suffering involved with it. It was so significant in that those babies were personified unions/alliances between houses.

Just subscribed . I came across your Draymond apology review. I’m an nba fan as well as a movie fan. Your delivery and some things you’ve said have made me chuckle . Shared the Draymond vid with my nba fan friends and they thought it was a riot. 😂
Let’s be honest the biggest achievement of this show is the creation of an expectation for the fans that the future can be bright.
I was not disappointed even though I went in with 0 expectations and every episode did a great job of getting the show to grip me and it did and has me hyped for next season. Good job team keep it up.
I am kinda new to your channel but I am so excited to watch your two cents on HoTD! Wether you like it or not The Song of Ice and Fire universe is quite fascinating. Regarding the pregnancies and gruesome childbirths: this is what we missed out on the original series because it was really a big part of the “medieval era”. Like Aemma, the wife of the King said; this is the war for women. Death and pain is all the same. Im glad that the shifted the sex & R scenes to somewhat something more realistic and relatable. And I really hope that at least one of the actors get an Emmy for their acting skills, especially Paddie Considine who portrayed King Viserys… such a complexed character!

As a new Charlie fan I'm so happy to hear he likes hotd while still being critical of it. Also appreciate your input Jackson.
this has been my favorite life action show this year
King Viserys was BA.. at the end he looked so gnarly and scary he could have so easily been a tyrant but he was the sweetest grandpa/dad ever
My favorite scene was when Aemond said, "Gimme your eye, it's morbin' time."

Honestly i liked the description of this season was the back story build up to the up coming seasons to get you invested.
honestly since the time jumps are over i feel like they will do such an amazing job in season 2
i thought it was so cool when the dragon made himself a house in the final episode, truly an epic 11/10 series
Bravo Vince
👏 Bravo.
I like how they made Criston Cole basically immortal.
Ratio + k-pop better🤓🤓🤓🤓
After the time skip I thought all the aged up characters were great but bruh how tf does Criston look 20 years old when he’s supposed to be like in his mid 40s at this point lol
Yeah he's kinda like the mountain in this one...
@@BlackCrowOfDeath To be fair, there are people who are very old but look youthful.
my farts are better than Charlie's farts
My thoughts exactly. You spoke literally everything I ever thought about this show
One thing that stood out the most for me is the screenplay! Loved it ❤❤
I really love how true they stay to the source material and the changes they do make really add to the story! This entire season was essentially build up to the dance of dragons and next season is going to be incredible
It's hilarious how Californians choose to be blissfully ignorant of their impending doom 🤣
Don’t think we haven’t noticed how good your hair has been looking lately Charlie
Great Show can’t wait till season 2 :)
In my opinion so many time jumps came in this season because there really wasn’t much going on in the grand scheme of things. Little things important to the show were highlighted but mainly the players for the Dance of the Dragons needed to be introduced and some of them are multiples decades apart in age so the time jumps were quite necessary i think.
When Daemon said it’s Daemon time and then Daemons all over the place, truly one of the greatest moments in TV

Genuine question, is this meant to be funny or does it just kind of sit in the same camp as comments that just quote the video?
This meme needs to die already
@@enemystand2981 genuine answer: it’s a running joke amongst all widely viewed TV shows to have a main character main charactering the entire series.
I think the pregnancies and time jumps explains a lot in the show … yes they kinda gave me whiplash on how often they jumped but George explains that there were sooo many Targaryen’s around at this time both full grown and babies that a civil war was almost inevitable. There were so many Targaryen’s that had claim for the throne that war was always on the horizon … and because season one is a prequel to The Dance setting up the characters their personalities, ambition, loyalties , etc and I think that’s why there are so many pregnancies to explain the amount of Targaryen’s alive at this time and why the war happens
Soo excited for second season this show did great
Its such a good show, it’s gotten better ever episode.
It's hilarious how Californians choose to be blissfully ignorant of their impending doom 🤣
It's a generational show so I think that they set it up as best they could. It's difficult to show such a long stretch of time just to set up the real conflict. After this season there will be much less time jumping and I think that anyone who was confused after this season will really love the coming seasons. Also with the names GRRM has said that he modeled it off real royal lines where literally everyone is named Elizabeth Mary or Henry. I'm personally very excited to see what comes with this show
It's really cool how a
George uses real life elements of the royal family and it makes everything evidently stupid and ridiculous
the passage of time is also pretty realistic when you look at how long some wars lasted. asoiaf is vaguely inspired by the events of the war of roses, which lasted 3 decades. and it's not just the infighting amongst the targaryens, they did a pretty good job a subtly alluding to how long the brackens and blackwoods have been feuding with one another. all these royal houses tend to hold grudges lol
This is a fair assessment of S1, the time jumps were a bit difficult but the pieces are in place and I expect a lot going forward into the next seasons.
I’m so excited for season 2
The focus on pregnancy and birth is one of the best aspects of the show
Totally agreed. There isn't villains and heroes. You can ever argue that the biggest villain is the patriarchy. It's really spot on with the themes of the book.
@@almightyproductions9657 considering how a big aspect of what pushes the events of HOTD is the fact that Rhaenyra is not a first born son, fantasy or no, involves the patriarchy.
I do wish they showed less detail when it came to failed pregnancies though, that was hard to watch at times. Especially the first one.
@@almightyproductions9657 You could argue that Rhaenerya's cause is not a feminist conflict because she does not intend to make things better for other women and is just about her, a valyrian Targaryen, not wanting to play by andal succession law because she thinks they are an special case like they do with the incestual marriages, whereas Alicent is in her mindset and predicament because of the patriarchal society and faith she practices not because some intrinsect hate for Rhaenerya but the fact that you continously reffer to the real life sex based, tangible, oppresion of women as an alleged phenomena and want to make out a woman responding to a comment you made about women as somehow treating the OP as a weak damsel makes it clear that you do not want to have a real meaningful talk about patriarchy related to this show(or any, because you do not need or want to talk about it), you just want to discredit any conversation relating to how those things impact anything because you find womens lived reality annoying to hear, go watch Formula 1 if you don't want social nuance in your shows
@@almightyproductions9657 Most people don't use the textbook definition of most things and it is intelligently dissingenous at best to pretend the constantly documented lived experiences of women are alleged because random individuals define patriarchy (applied as an structure and system that upholds male dominance via the oppresion of women in every living sphere) with different wordings. I admitted that mysogyny and female empowerment doesn't fit into the neat tidy box a lot of watchers want it to go into (Rhaenerya being a girlboss female liberator) but I also alluded to the ways in which there is still very much a patriarchy in action in the world of Westeros with my comment about Alicent, even if it is not a 1:1 replica of real world society, same way there is a feudal system in place even if medieval civil wars weren't fought with dragons.
To answer your question: Yes, because the only way you are going to get no input about the paralels between real world oppression and examples of the same in fiction is by excluding all people who experience any kind of oppresion from those discussions. Also let's not pretend this is some niche DnD campaign being played in a basement, this is a multimillion dollar show being built upon one of the biggest cultural pop culture successes of the 21st century who are you gatekeeping this from.
I used formula 1 because it as further away you can get from needing to analyze any kind of social nuance and inner character motivations in a show since you seem to hate it, I have nothing against it and I'm sure afficionados could tell you why it is an interesting sport, not sure where you perceived shame.
As far as the time jumps, they did a good job honestly using season 1 to set up the conflict to the point that you actually care about the characters. Plus, I think the young alicent and Rhyanera ended up being so good, they kept them and stretched their time to almost half the season. And man, the stakes of the ending were so well setup that I cant wait til season 2
I feel the same. The time jumps were a little confusing, but I don't think they could have done it any other way. If they started with big Alicent and Rhaenyra, then they would have had to do a ton of flashbacks to get the same message across. Looking back on it, I prefer this way and it makes more sense instead of flashbacking constantly. Keeps the story chronological, even if you have to mentally do some character gymnastics
Wait years now
That family feast in one of the later episodes was really wholesome.....for a moment.
YES been waiting on this
House of the dragon is so good ngl, very excited for season 2, excellent characters and writing and amazing drama
The book Fire and Blood which talks about the events in this series (no spoilers) makes me super excited to see how it progresses from here. Timejumps won't happen as often anymore, maybe between seasons they'll do timejumps now, but it'll be better. Excited for what's to come.
I really enjoy how the show presents a more clear-cut version of events that challenges what's been written by the Maesters. It goes such a long way to creating an air of mystery for even the most devout novel enthusiasts.
Enjoyed the editor's note from Jackson about it being slow paced 😂 it was quite the opposite
Always love it when Charlie rocks up wearing the "Shower... What Is Shower?" look.
I think this first season was a fantastic setup for the show going forward. I wasn't quite sold first episode, but end of the season I'm so hyped for the show to continue. It's a slow burn but I'm okay with that and I'll forgive the time jumps because it's all to set up the drive of the show going forward, and by the end of season 1 you're invested and the stakes are set and all the players are introduced. I'm pumped for season 2 and honestly didn't think I would be. Heck yea.
10 out of 10. King Viserys was amazing XD
It's hilarious how Californians choose to be blissfully ignorant of their impending doom 🤣
I'm a huge fan of the book and I'm absolutely in love with the show. Obviously there are changes here and there that I don't care for, but this show has been a blessing imo.
Absolutely goated that they made a spin-off about Milo from the 2022 blockbuster Morbius.
i love jacksons editors notes, i audibly laughed as soon as i saw it
Great first season, the last episode dragon chase had my heart absolutely racing
