You Guys Have To Be Careful, You Might Not Care, But Game Of Thrones Has Huge House Of The Dragon Spoilers, Obviously, Cuz House Of The Dragon Is A Prequel
@@fabian5813 Moderator team here. We are aware of these and have a plan in place to ensure they won't be spoiled by them. We appreciate the concern though. =)
There is a HUGE spoiler for House of the Dragons in this show, specifically season 3 episode 4, just letting you know ahead of time, if that matters to you guys at all.
Imagine watching HotD with its ten-fifteen characters, hearing people say that HotD and GoT are similar, then having about twenty five people introduced just in the first episode if GoT😂😂 You're in for a wild ride!!
As i remember it takes me almost 2 seasons to remind all the names. Thank god i binged it. It's easily the best series ever made in my opinion. (Till s6)
“HOTD fans react to GoT” is definitely the first video of its kind, and probably the first of many as HOTD progresses over the years and a new generation of younger fans watch that show first. This first episode is definitely a lot to take in. But don’t worry, the overload of info will settle down after the first few episodes. What they do really well here is instead of letting you know everything all at once, they slowly give you the backstories & lores (like what happened during Robert’s Rebellion for example) through conversations between characters, and it’s up to you to piece them together. All of these characters have crazy entangled pasts which you will get familiar with.And you will remember each and every one of these characters like you’ve never remembered characters, best believe that.
@@MFBloosh Too bad they can't have a GoT fan watch that episode with them and just mute that part so they don't hear it. If only they had someone local who could do that.
@@MFBloosh I was just thinking that. There's actually a lot of spoilers for HOTD sprinkled throughout this show but that one is a direct and huge spoiler stated outright.
You guys have had an absolute masterstroke reacting to both shows right now. The hype is through the roof, and watching you react to both shows simultaneously is something no one else is doing. You're commentary is great too.
@@itss_nattyj Nice! I love his reactions lol hes one of the very few who catch on very quickly with the lore for someone whos never seen game of thrones (well hes currently watching it)
I loved the perspective of thinking Robert is a Targaryen to realizing that the Targaryen have lost the throne. Must be a jolt coming from HotD. Also loved the opening credits music being referred to as the same as HotD because for most Westeros fans, its so iconically the GoT theme. You will LOVE the journey the soundtracks take you on (as well as everything else with the show).
To be fair Robert’s grandmother was Targaryen that Maester’s used to justify his claim. Therefore, he is still a descendant of Aegon the Conquerer and most other Targaryen kings.
Not gonna lie, it's fascinating seeing how HotD has shaped your expectations of GoT. I'm excited to see how your views on certain things change over time.
My son knows some GOT memes but he lumps them in with LotR stuff. It's possible if you have been focused on other things or other fandoms. He also hasn't really watched many shows or movies. His dad was like that when we met. Blank canvas. All his time had been spent on music and sports and only a few shows.
@@potencjalnypracownik2966 What value do you get from being so skeptical? Is it possible they're faking? I suppose so. Just like it's possible someone you meet is lying about who they are. But they don't seem like they're acting, so chances are they're genuine. Is it really that important to you to believe that no one could be genuine about this?

@@kvm6 We haven't reached that bridge yet. We will discuss it with them once they get further into season 1 I think. I provided them with the official known world map from the Lands of Ice and Fire "book", and I gave thenlm a spoiler free very brief explanation of Valyria/Aegons conquest for HotD before they got going with that but aside from that they are completely blind on everything they haven't learned from the shows itself. I know one of those lore and history videos has HotD spoilers but the others are fine, just depends on if they feel like it, there's enough demand, and it fits into their schedule.
@@suddenimpulse030 I've seen most people react to hour long ones, but if you've seen them, you may know that it's lots of short videos stitched together. So, they could react to the short ones, or just watch them in their own free time, if they just to get an understanding of the world. Though, giving them a map is a great idea. Btw, does "Book Spoilers" also include the scenes that are in the show, like if I were to write something from Bran I (Ned saying all titles, but skipping Rhyonar, but this being corrected in HoT D), would my comment be deleted?
@@kvm6 We try to go case by case, and try to be reasonable about things, but we also don't want to be unfair to people and have things be inconsistent. Book spoilers we are generally prohibiting at this time for two reasons: 1. We don't know if Spartan & Pudgey, or others in the community that read the comments plan to read the books at some point. 2. It's another layer of spoilers we have to worry about, and with any kind of spoilers, some people are much better about knowing where the line is than others on what should and shouldn't be said. HOWEVER, generally, if it is something small and largely inconsequential to their reactions and experience, and just lore flavor stuff, like the Rhoynar titles and explaining that to them, I am not going to touch it. So no, I wouldn't delete that comment. The main stuff I am looking out for is hints or outright spoilers on future characters or events, character arcs, or facts they shouldn't know about yet that have import later. Things that will affect their enjoyment, blind reaction, and experience. Wilson and I are super ASOIAF nerds, so we know a lot of details about this world and we understand how complex and deep it is, and how fun it is to discuss these things. So we also have a policy that, if you guys want to mention something to Spartan & Pudgey, but are worried it will be too spoilery, you are free to private message us on the community Discord, we have the same names on there, or ask here in the comments, if it can be asked carefully. Generally Discord is better, because sometimes we will accidentally miss a tag or comment. Feel free to ask any more questions you have. We appreciate you asking and not just gunning for it.
@@kvm6 Also, as far as doing some of this side content as reactions, part of what plays into that is the fact they both work full time and try to do at least 2 shows at a time. They are small time still, so they edit all these videos themselves, which can take a lot of time. So they have to take into account how this stuff figures into their schedules and free time, and if the payoff is there in terms of viewcounts and such compared to some other content. So even if they want to do something, they have to weight the pros and cons.
@@Noone91875 Yes but it prepares people for the episode to expect something big to happen which can spoil some things if they are deduced. You do what you want of course at the end of the day I just think it's a bit on the spoilery side.
@@frankiek2269 First of all there's only one season out of HotD so far, and a full 8 of GoT, so you can't really compare the two. Also, what's so woke about it specifically?
I remember buying this Season on DVD after months of a coworker telling me to check it out. Stayed up all night watching it all, then called out of work the next day to go buy and watch season 2. When the latest episode of season 4 debuted on HBO the following Sunday, I was caught up and watched live. Closest I’ve ever felt to being a drug addict since college.
Omg sameee I was in Perú, visiting my family when I randomly found my first got ep on TV... I stayed there for hours and once I came back home to Italy I started looking for all eps, while they waited for a new season rai put it on TV so I was there every night to watch every episode, I was like "kids, mom needs free time after 21:00, it's important, sleep as soon as u can" 😅 and for the last season I went to hbo site, my first ever payment to watch something, I was screaming internally, crying, shouting, here it was, if I remember well, about 12:00 or 01:00 am... after my reading vice, this one was my second addiction 😌👌
The symbolism in that direwolf scene is crazy good. The Stag is the sigil of House Baratheon, The Kings house. While the Direwolf is the sigil of House Stark.
I have never actually watched a reaction channel watch GOT, mostly because I couldnt bother sit through it again, but after the first half of HOTD and seeing your reactions I have to admit Im excited af to revisit GOT with you guys.
@@Serryy I would recommend checking out Macabre Storytelling's "Game of Thrones Rewrite" series. He dedicates a whole video to rewriting the arc of each character (usually starting at the beginning of S5). Even speaking as someone who didn't hate the ending, I've kind of come to see his version as the canon ending.
The intro is actually helpful, in that it shows you the areas that you are going to be visiting. This first episode has scenes from King's Landing, The Wall, Winterfell, and Pentos. Later, when characters get to new places, the intro will reflect that.
If you really don't know about GoT (spoilers ect), you're in for a wild ride, and I know it'll be a hit on your channel. It NEVER gets old watching reactions of Thrones most shocking moments
You both actually might be really successful with this series, as I don't know anyone else who did HotD before GoT, so you have a really unique perspective for this that I'm excited to see!
I completely agree with you about the content of the first episode. I always tell people that are interested in the show that the first episode gives you everything that Game of Thrones is about. Between the horror, incest, sex, violence, compelling characters, dialogue, and vast world building, you get the essence of the show packed into one hour. So, if you like the first episode, there's a good chance you'll like the show overall. Great reaction!
what I really like about their reacting is their commentating before and after and in between.... They agree with each other & disagree without actually makes it fun to watch
I live in Fife, Scotland. I went to check out a second hand car and the lady who was selling it was the main breeder of the huskies used as the young direwolves. This was years after the show started but I got to meet one of her huskies who was a month old and it was huge! Huge for a pup and really beautiful. She still had the dog who fathered some, if not all, of the puppies from the show. An unexpected meeting, but very cool.
Husky ownership exploded because of this show. Unfortunately has led to an epidemic of lost Huskies because people do not understand their exercise needs and *amazing escape artist abilities
@@that.ll_do_pig it was said that a lot of them ended up in shelters too as the owners gave them up. years after the show, there were so many huskies in the rescues that i visited. shame.
It's interesting how much more you guys understand having watched HoTD. I've seen a few reactions to GOT and there's stuff you guys got that took them a while.
So happy y’all are doing GOT. This show is legendary for a reason! You’re going to get really sucked into this and y’all will love it! Nice reaction and commentary as always.
I love how unique this situation is because you’re watching GOT after HOTD. It’s a totally different way to experience things. Very eager to see how this turns out.
When you were like "oh no 8 long seasons 😮" don't worry you'll soon change your mind and you will be 110% invested, begging for the next episode, the next season
Saw the latest upload in recommended, and made a beeline directly to here to watch it from the beginning.. I can't let this show go, and HotD bored me away because the bar was set too high by it's predecessor. I can relive my own reactions through yours, thank you :)
IMO, the Strong Advice to you: 1) It's smart for you to have a Moderator to get rid of spoilers 2) Pay close attention to the comments and dialogue that might seem trivial to you- they will be very important to understanding the bigger picture 3) Consider posting more than 1 video at at a time 4) Get/Look at a map of the GOT universe- it will help orient you 5) Suggest taking notes of the members of the different families- there are so many characters that you will get confused 6) DON'T GET ATTACHED TO ANY CHARACTER
You guys act like I act, not over the top, not a statue, just natural and focused. And the commentary is cool, yall ask most of the right questions when trying to figure shit out. Lovely.
"Tickle my fancy." , "Is that some sort of scarf?" , and "Stark white." I chuckled a good bit after those lines. Hope to enjoy more of your reactions as you dive deeper and discover more of this series. Happy you're doing it!
Great reaction guys, I really love seeing your revelations about this world coming from your knowledge of HOTD, such a unique perspective. So excited for this journey!
This is miraculous. As someone who had read the books twice before watching the first episode of GOT and read and consumed every word of every book multiple times, it's amazing to see how people who are unsullied react. Thanks for this.
I love this. GoT is so good for so long. You have a rare perspective, knowing nothing of the source material and not having seen GoT. Have fun, it will be great for you.
YESSSSSS! This is SO EXCITING! Winter is indeed coming! I can not tell you how great this journey is going to be! STARKS!!!!! Also, this is goingbto be really interesting to see someone watching GoT and HotD at the same time!
Just finished your HotD reactions, now watching the GoT ones, can't wait to see your reactions on some of those wildest GoT episodes that set the internet on fire!!
It was so fun seeing you two excited you already knew what the Hand of the King was! So excited for this and your continued HotD reviews! "I like Viserys better" this amused me and hopefully you two have realized why at this point! Hyped for more!
love watching a new discovery of Game of thrones.. except I really like to binge my watches so glad I discovered your channel just when you are almost done with the show
The dialogue is just top tier in this show. Even if this show doesnt end up being exactly what you think it will be, (it has a lot of hype) you won't care. The dialogue and the characters just carry the show.
Definitely subscribing, it's interesting to see folks that started ASOIAF with House being introduced to GoT afterwards........fucking epic. You are in for a ride!
I can't tell you how greatly I appreciate that you pause the ep when you want to briefly discuss things! Drives me up the wall when the majority of reactors just talk over important/special scenes! :D
Very good hook on these videos, the "HotD fans watch GoT for the 1st time" is definitely eye catching. Be ready to be called "sweet summer child" many times.
So excited for you guys to check this out! I've been loving your HoTD reactions. Very much looking forward to watching this series with you. Be sure to watch the histories and lore videos after each season, will really help you get a deeper understanding of the world. Avoid the season 5 one though as there are HoTD spoilers.
I remember watching the first time, I was late and started around season four and caught up quickly, I thought it was great, then I rewatched it years later and really realized how great it is and how well written it is. Looking forward to watching your journey.
You guys are genuinely fun to watch! Very interesting and intelligent adding commentary. And this show is probably one of the best ones to react, if not the best Cheers from Spain
"The only thing that could tear down the house of the dragon was itself" - Rhaenyra house of the dragons starts with the quote **173 before Daenerys Targaryen**. now, you're meeting her Viserys and Daenerys are the last Targaryens, and the dragons are all dead
I was going to mention that same bit from the HotD Ep.1 intro because it gives context to the amount of time that's occurred between the two series. You beat me to it. 😁
Huge GOT and HoTH fan here and I love watching reactions. Will be following your GOT reactions for sure. Enjoy your energy!! Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy and amazing ride!! #WinterIsComing
This was one of the few GOT reactions where ive fully enjoyed the intro and outro discussion/reviews of the reactors. Thanks :) Going to keep on binging your reactions.
Aweeee, so happy you decided to join the GOT Fan Club! Winter is indeed coming!! I’ve been enjoying your reactions to HOTD and I’ve just subscribed to your channel seeing you’ve started GOT. So excited for your journey and will be fun to see if you pick up connections between the two series. Let’s go!!! Love from Harlem, New York City 🤗
Game Of Thrones is a lot more dense than HotD. The most important characters and storylines in HotD all take place in and around people who live in king's landing or just a few other places while GoT focuses on about twice the amount of characters right out of the gate that live all over Westeros, including Essos where Daenerys is.
I've watched a bunch of GOT reactions, never one where the people watched HOTD first. This is a pretty cool and unique experience. Looking forward to it
This is earlier than I expected; I thought you two may have started GoT after the first season of HotD. Alas, my rewatch begins! I actually haven't gone back to the beginning since the show ended, and had a good time starting again. I really like the time spent at Winterfell. And yeah, Viserys' treatment of his sister is...less surprising after HotD. Also, I think it's only said once in the episode, so I'll mention here that the King (Robert) is a Baratheon.
I’m so excited for you guys to watch this! I just found your channel while watching your HOTD reactions and I’m so thrilled you’re doing GOT as well, love your commentary and your perspectives, will continue watching you guys through the rest of your HOTD and now GOT reactions, keep it up!
Oh damn theyre getting into GoT! Tyrion Lannister & The Hound are my favorite characters 😊 Just to touch on a few things that happen in this episode: Daenerys & Viserys Targaryen are the 2 blonde ones you saw, theyre the children of Aerys II Targaryen. Robert Baratheon isn't a Targaryen but you'll find out more about him being king through this season. His betrothed was Lyanna Stark (Ned Starks sister), which is what that scene in the crypt was about, but as you saw she died. Hes now married to Cersei Lannister who is Queen Regent. If you watch back HotD, there was Jason Lannister in a few episodes (who gave the spear to the King for Aegon II's name day) and there was a Stark sitting on the council as well. The Lannisters are a big and noble house. The Starks are also a promenent house as theyre one of the First Men of Westeros (first families to sail to and settle Westeros), they hold Winterfell (which is the north) and they guard The Wall (which protects the northen realm). Theres a lot to unpack, but they will touch multiple times on these subjects so you'll get to understand the houses and locations. I would recommend doing a google on "Westeros Map", which will give you a good idea of the layout of the land to help understand where these things are taking place 😊
This is the fun of reaction channels! Watching people whose reaction you already like view something you know is good and can’t wait for their reactions to certain episodes. This is gonna be so much fun. Maybe even epic. Great reaction on the first episode.
I loved this video! You guys are absolutely going to be mind blown by this show. The fact that you've started HotD already... makes this a very unique reaction for us in the community. And the little knowledge you have will help... a lot. But. Some things will stand out more for you than us because you know the characters spoken about in their talks of history. 👌❤️😊🙏 I'm sure you'll get all the support you need to motivate you to continue GoT reactions. 😎❤️👌 See you in the next one.
Just a quick fun fact: King Robert actually DOES have Targaryen blood, in 2 types of ways: 1. His house (Baratheon) was founded by a rumored Targaryen bastard (though it's possible that rumor was false) 2. The definitive way, ie Targaryens married into House Baratheon several times. It's one of the ways (in addition to right by "might"/ conquest) they justified Robert taking the throne when the rebellion he led was won. So, you weren't totally off in thinking Targaryen blood would still play a part.
Just a warning - There is one line in this show that completely spoils the fate of one of the characters in HotD. It's in Season 3, Episode 4. The scene starts with a shot looking up at some characters through a grate in the floor, and the very first line in the scene is the HotD spoiler. The scene before it ends with the line "Prodigies in odd places, indeed." So, after you hear that line, and the scene changes, cover your ears until the shot changes.
Call me pedantic, but if a series is intended as a sequel (or prequel) following the success of another series, then that first series can't really have spoilers for the second one since they were intended to watch in that order. Knowing the fate of certain HotD characters before hand shouldn't ruin any plot, since the entire of House of the Dragon was built as a successor to Game of Thrones and will generally assume you've seen it.
@@cascade1788 Not exactly. People that watched GOT in its initial run won't have known exactly what joffrey was referencing and would have forgotten the reference. But this guys are watching HOTD so they would definitely notice it.
@@afrobuddy4801 Fair point, I can see how the related facts would stand out much more if watched side by side, but would still consider that valuable world knowlege as opposed to spoilers and would never recommend that someone skip a scene. Its almost like saying you should skip season 1 so it doesnt spoil you for season 2.
Everyone thinks that dead little girl at the beginning was a doll, a fake. But she actually was played by a real live actress! Just looks like a doll in real life :D
Just discovered ur channel!!! Don’t want to get into watching GOT again myself because it’s too time consuming, but please continue this so I can watch you guys! Love the commentary
This is my favourite show of all time! And I started when It came out, I introduced my friends to it over the years and love their reactions they would ring me up and talk about each episode.....until the caught me up! I will enjoy you watching them to see your reaction! Earned a sub please carry on! Also loving HotD aswel 👍
I just discovered you guys. And let me say, I enjoy both of you so much! Your passion for the shows you watch and interactions are awesome. Thanks so much, please don’t stop! And maybe watch more, FASTER! Haha
Found your channel when you started HotD, definitely cool to see reactions from people who'd never seen GoT, and thought your responses were great so now following. Brilliant to see you now start on this epic adventure, I have many hours of entertainment to look forward to now! One thing worth noting about the whole GoT universe, and possibly not something you'd read about to avoid spoilers, is that the original author George RR Martin took many influences from actual medieval history. Some of the things you'll see happened in real life, but retold in a fictional fantasy setting. That's what I love about GoT, is it blends truth with far out fiction. Like the incest thing, check out the Habsburg Jaw - no spoilers so don't worry - a deformity caused by incest in the royal line. I'm really looking forward to reactions to other shocking parts of history that will pop up in the show, as well as all the cool fantasy and magic stuff! Superb reaction to the first episode btw!

2. Please try to keep majority of HotD to the actual HotD videos. Do not post anything that can be considered spoilers for HotD. They have only seen the first 5 episodes.
Any plans of them reacting to History & Lore videos?
@@kvm6 We haven't reached that bridge yet. We will discuss it with them once they get further into season 1 I think.
I provided them with the official known world map from the Lands of Ice and Fire "book", and I gave thenlm a spoiler free very brief explanation of Valyria/Aegons conquest for HotD before they got going with that but aside from that they are completely blind on everything they haven't learned from the shows itself. I know one of those lore and history videos has HotD spoilers but the others are fine, just depends on if they feel like it, there's enough demand, and it fits into their schedule.
@@suddenimpulse030 I've seen most people react to hour long ones, but if you've seen them, you may know that it's lots of short videos stitched together. So, they could react to the short ones, or just watch them in their own free time, if they just to get an understanding of the world.
Though, giving them a map is a great idea.
Btw, does "Book Spoilers" also include the scenes that are in the show, like if I were to write something from Bran I (Ned saying all titles, but skipping Rhyonar, but this being corrected in HoT D), would my comment be deleted?
@@kvm6 We try to go case by case, and try to be reasonable about things, but we also don't want to be unfair to people and have things be inconsistent. Book spoilers we are generally prohibiting at this time for two reasons:
1. We don't know if Spartan & Pudgey, or others in the community that read the comments plan to read the books at some point.
2. It's another layer of spoilers we have to worry about, and with any kind of spoilers, some people are much better about knowing where the line is than others on what should and shouldn't be said.
HOWEVER, generally, if it is something small and largely inconsequential to their reactions and experience, and just lore flavor stuff, like the Rhoynar titles and explaining that to them, I am not going to touch it. So no, I wouldn't delete that comment. The main stuff I am looking out for is hints or outright spoilers on future characters or events, character arcs, or facts they shouldn't know about yet that have import later. Things that will affect their enjoyment, blind reaction, and experience.
Wilson and I are super ASOIAF nerds, so we know a lot of details about this world and we understand how complex and deep it is, and how fun it is to discuss these things. So we also have a policy that, if you guys want to mention something to Spartan & Pudgey, but are worried it will be too spoilery, you are free to private message us on the community Discord, we have the same names on there, or ask here in the comments, if it can be asked carefully. Generally Discord is better, because sometimes we will accidentally miss a tag or comment. Feel free to ask any more questions you have. We appreciate you asking and not just gunning for it.
@@kvm6 Also, as far as doing some of this side content as reactions, part of what plays into that is the fact they both work full time and try to do at least 2 shows at a time. They are small time still, so they edit all these videos themselves, which can take a lot of time. So they have to take into account how this stuff figures into their schedules and free time, and if the payoff is there in terms of viewcounts and such compared to some other content. So even if they want to do something, they have to weight the pros and cons.
Our newest sweet summer children😂. The hope and positivity they have just has me giggling like a THE JOKER😁
@@Noone91875 Delete comments like this bro.
@@allbies why did i gave any spoilers. Just write numbers.
@@Noone91875 Yes but it prepares people for the episode to expect something big to happen which can spoil some things if they are deduced. You do what you want of course at the end of the day I just think it's a bit on the spoilery side.
@@allbies Agreed. It creates an expectation for particular episodes.
@@Noone91875 delete this
I can't stop laughing at "I miss Viserys" and "We need someone more like Viserys". Was predicting that as soon as I saw you two started GOT.
Well they will get a Viserys....
HOTD is so bad, I can't believe people were into it. Viserys was just a poor version of Danny and with terrible acting
@@overthewebb You're delusional.
@@TheDmolp HotD doesn’t hold a candle to GoT. It’s too damn woke and full of BS. You must be a soy boy.
@@frankiek2269 First of all there's only one season out of HotD so far, and a full 8 of GoT, so you can't really compare the two. Also, what's so woke about it specifically?
Yay, a new journey ❤️
*Joffrey appears*
S&P: "UGH we hate him "
Yes 😅😂
I was like, here comes the devil spawn
I remember buying this Season on DVD after months of a coworker telling me to check it out. Stayed up all night watching it all, then called out of work the next day to go buy and watch season 2. When the latest episode of season 4 debuted on HBO the following Sunday, I was caught up and watched live. Closest I’ve ever felt to being a drug addict since college.
Lol what an entertaining story!
I bought it on DVD also😂. I watched the rest online but I might buy the rest just to have it.
Omg sameee I was in Perú, visiting my family when I randomly found my first got ep on TV... I stayed there for hours and once I came back home to Italy I started looking for all eps, while they waited for a new season rai put it on TV so I was there every night to watch every episode, I was like "kids, mom needs free time after 21:00, it's important, sleep as soon as u can" 😅 and for the last season I went to hbo site, my first ever payment to watch something, I was screaming internally, crying, shouting, here it was, if I remember well, about 12:00 or 01:00 am... after my reading vice, this one was my second addiction 😌👌
The "I prefer Viserys" line is perfect, considering the guy they are referring to is called Viserys too haha
The symbolism in that direwolf scene is crazy good. The Stag is the sigil of House Baratheon, The Kings house. While the Direwolf is the sigil of House Stark.
I have never actually watched a reaction channel watch GOT, mostly because I couldnt bother sit through it again, but after the first half of HOTD and seeing your reactions I have to admit Im excited af to revisit GOT with you guys.
Just stop watching halfway through. Only content about the second half I can sit through is the Piss Takes honestly.
@@Serryy Feel bad for you pal.
@@Serryy I would recommend checking out Macabre Storytelling's "Game of Thrones Rewrite" series. He dedicates a whole video to rewriting the arc of each character (usually starting at the beginning of S5). Even speaking as someone who didn't hate the ending, I've kind of come to see his version as the canon ending.
@@DazHotep6EQUJ5 why?
@@Serryy People like you are the reason why this "fandom" is the worst ever.
27:26 "Twisted brother, I prefer Viserys" man said when talking about Viserys.
The intro is actually helpful, in that it shows you the areas that you are going to be visiting. This first episode has scenes from King's Landing, The Wall, Winterfell, and Pentos.
Later, when characters get to new places, the intro will reflect that.
Did you know...? The guy who plays Viserys Targaryen is the amazingly talented Harry Lloyd, who also voices Viktor from Arcane
Noooo way!!
Wait for real, i would never have guessed, they do not sound similar at all.
@@TheArrowedKnee cuz he was trying to do a russian accent with viktor
He's Richard III in the recent movie about the discovery of the last of the Plantagenet's burial site....
"I'm sure the Targaryens married off "
You sweet summer child....
If you really don't know about GoT (spoilers ect), you're in for a wild ride, and I know it'll be a hit on your channel. It NEVER gets old watching reactions of Thrones most shocking moments
I had to laugh when you said "I much prefer Viserys"....to Viserys
"What's the dog gonna do? Catch him?"
🤣Coffee everywhere.
"It's a special wolf." 🤣
A hallmark Spartan moment. Such a great response lol!!!
It's been a while since I've seen this episode. Wow it's even better than I remember, what an amazing pilot episode.
Oh sweet summer childern. You are in for a wild ride. Happy to come along with ye.
You both actually might be really successful with this series, as I don't know anyone else who did HotD before GoT, so you have a really unique perspective for this that I'm excited to see!
I completely agree with you about the content of the first episode. I always tell people that are interested in the show that the first episode gives you everything that Game of Thrones is about. Between the horror, incest, sex, violence, compelling characters, dialogue, and vast world building, you get the essence of the show packed into one hour. So, if you like the first episode, there's a good chance you'll like the show overall. Great reaction!
Until the last four seasons anyways.
@@flamefusion8963s6 was pretty good
what I really like about their reacting is their commentating before and after and in between.... They agree with each other & disagree without actually makes it fun to watch
I live in Fife, Scotland. I went to check out a second hand car and the lady who was selling it was the main breeder of the huskies used as the young direwolves. This was years after the show started but I got to meet one of her huskies who was a month old and it was huge! Huge for a pup and really beautiful. She still had the dog who fathered some, if not all, of the puppies from the show. An unexpected meeting, but very cool.
That's awesome!
Husky ownership exploded because of this show. Unfortunately has led to an epidemic of lost Huskies because people do not understand their exercise needs and *amazing escape artist abilities
@@that.ll_do_pig they are very difficult dogs to maintain.
@@that.ll_do_pig it was said that a lot of them ended up in shelters too as the owners gave them up. years after the show, there were so many huskies in the rescues that i visited. shame.
It's interesting how much more you guys understand having watched HoTD. I've seen a few reactions to GOT and there's stuff you guys got that took them a while.
“HOTD fans react to GoT” is a thing that’s finally here lol.
Really like your Engagement with the Media. Keep it goin
So happy y’all are doing GOT. This show is legendary for a reason! You’re going to get really sucked into this and y’all will love it! Nice reaction and commentary as always.
I’m very excited for this! Will say Spartan you saying you want Viserys instead of Daenerys’ brother… viserys was a fun bit of irony 😂
😆
I love how unique this situation is because you’re watching GOT after HOTD. It’s a totally different way to experience things. Very eager to see how this turns out.
When you were like "oh no 8 long seasons 😮" don't worry you'll soon change your mind and you will be 110% invested, begging for the next episode, the next season
Your conversations are amazing dudes!! Catching everything... Wow! Your thoughts are very interesting.. this is gonna be awesome!!
Saw the latest upload in recommended, and made a beeline directly to here to watch it from the beginning.. I can't let this show go, and HotD bored me away because the bar was set too high by it's predecessor. I can relive my own reactions through yours, thank you :)
IMO, the Strong Advice to you:
1) It's smart for you to have a Moderator to get rid of spoilers
2) Pay close attention to the comments and dialogue that might seem trivial to you- they will be very important to understanding the bigger picture
3) Consider posting more than 1 video at at a time
4) Get/Look at a map of the GOT universe- it will help orient you
5) Suggest taking notes of the members of the different families- there are so many characters that you will get confused
6) DON'T GET ATTACHED TO ANY CHARACTER
ALSO, this show spoils HOTD. Joffrey spoils what happens later in the show. I think Shireen spoils it as well.
You guys act like I act, not over the top, not a statue, just natural and focused. And the commentary is cool, yall ask most of the right questions when trying to figure shit out. Lovely.
I was trying to figure out what the hell Highschool of the Dead had to do with GoT... took me a minute to remember House of the Dragon.
"Tickle my fancy." , "Is that some sort of scarf?" , and "Stark white." I chuckled a good bit after those lines. Hope to enjoy more of your reactions as you dive deeper and discover more of this series. Happy you're doing it!
Great reaction guys, I really love seeing your revelations about this world coming from your knowledge of HOTD, such a unique perspective. So excited for this journey!
"the dog is going to use its special moves" 😭😂😂😂😂
I love how genuine you seem in your videos. You two have a really nice aura, makes watching the reaction really relaxing c:
This is miraculous. As someone who had read the books twice before watching the first episode of GOT and read and consumed every word of every book multiple times, it's amazing to see how people who are unsullied react. Thanks for this.
I am so excited u guys are watching GoT and I'm also sorry for all the heartbreak ahead. This show is one of the best ever for a reason.
I love this. GoT is so good for so long. You have a rare perspective, knowing nothing of the source material and not having seen GoT. Have fun, it will be great for you.
YESSSSSS! This is SO EXCITING! Winter is indeed coming! I can not tell you how great this journey is going to be! STARKS!!!!! Also, this is goingbto be really interesting to see someone watching GoT and HotD at the same time!
Just finished your HotD reactions, now watching the GoT ones, can't wait to see your reactions on some of those wildest GoT episodes that set the internet on fire!!
It was so fun seeing you two excited you already knew what the Hand of the King was! So excited for this and your continued HotD reviews! "I like Viserys better" this amused me and hopefully you two have realized why at this point! Hyped for more!
Yeah they really throw a lot of names at you in the first episode.
love watching a new discovery of Game of thrones.. except I really like to binge my watches so glad I discovered your channel just when you are almost done with the show
The dialogue is just top tier in this show. Even if this show doesnt end up being exactly what you think it will be, (it has a lot of hype) you won't care. The dialogue and the characters just carry the show.
Definitely subscribing, it's interesting to see folks that started ASOIAF with House being introduced to GoT afterwards........fucking epic. You are in for a ride!
So happy you react to GOT , you'll love it so much and have so many mixed emotions ! I'll be here to see that , totaly subbed !
❤❤
I can't tell you how greatly I appreciate that you pause the ep when you want to briefly discuss things! Drives me up the wall when the majority of reactors just talk over important/special scenes! :D
Very good hook on these videos, the "HotD fans watch GoT for the 1st time" is definitely eye catching. Be ready to be called "sweet summer child" many times.
Currently re-watching, I remember that I found your channel just when you finished posting season 1 of got 💕
It's worth watching these reactions just to hear The Hound and Tyrion's sarcasm and wit again.
"It's not hunting if you pay for it." 🖤
Yay! NEW Got reactors, I will follow you along til the end of the series. Super excited for you!
So excited for you guys to check this out! I've been loving your HoTD reactions. Very much looking forward to watching this series with you. Be sure to watch the histories and lore videos after each season, will really help you get a deeper understanding of the world. Avoid the season 5 one though as there are HoTD spoilers.
Just adding to say don't watch them until you've finished the season. Sometimes people do things in the wrong order, sorry.
I’m so jealous you’ve got the background of the iron throne first!! Ahhh you’re gonna LOVE this!! Can’t wait to watch your reactions!
One thing Game of Throne has that HOTD hasn't had YET is cliffhangers. And GoT has a whole lot of cliffhangers.
Pretty good so far you guys, this is my first time watching you. I might start watching Game of Thrones again just to follow along.
I remember watching the first time, I was late and started around season four and caught up quickly, I thought it was great, then I rewatched it years later and really realized how great it is and how well written it is. Looking forward to watching your journey.
Rewatching this reaction series again 👍 I *cannot* with Kit Harrington’s baby mustache 😂😂😂
This is awesome, you guys will be the first to watch both shows at the same time and it's going to be a wild ride.
You guys are genuinely fun to watch! Very interesting and intelligent adding commentary. And this show is probably one of the best ones to react, if not the best
Cheers from Spain
Ayyyeee you guys started GoT!!!! That’s awesome!!! And HotD lol!??!? Your spoiling us 🤣
Bruh, Im gonna love this. The amount of built up both character and world wise you gonna experience is fantastic.
"The only thing that could tear down the house of the dragon was itself" - Rhaenyra
house of the dragons starts with the quote **173 before Daenerys Targaryen**. now, you're meeting her
Viserys and Daenerys are the last Targaryens, and the dragons are all dead
I was going to mention that same bit from the HotD Ep.1 intro because it gives context to the amount of time that's occurred between the two series. You beat me to it. 😁
Huge GOT and HoTH fan here and I love watching reactions. Will be following your GOT reactions for sure. Enjoy your energy!! Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy and amazing ride!! #WinterIsComing
Targaria 😂 19:50
I’m glad you two have started this show. It only gets better each episode!!
This was one of the few GOT reactions where ive fully enjoyed the intro and outro discussion/reviews of the reactors. Thanks :) Going to keep on binging your reactions.
Aweeee, so happy you decided to join the GOT Fan Club! Winter is indeed coming!! I’ve been enjoying your reactions to HOTD and I’ve just subscribed to your channel seeing you’ve started GOT. So excited for your journey and will be fun to see if you pick up connections between the two series. Let’s go!!! Love from Harlem, New York City 🤗
You 100% have my support and I will watch all of your GoT videos, please keep doing these they are awesome!!!
Game Of Thrones is a lot more dense than HotD. The most important characters and storylines in HotD all take place in and around people who live in king's landing or just a few other places while GoT focuses on about twice the amount of characters right out of the gate that live all over Westeros, including Essos where Daenerys is.
I've watched a bunch of GOT reactions, never one where the people watched HOTD first. This is a pretty cool and unique experience. Looking forward to it
This is earlier than I expected; I thought you two may have started GoT after the first season of HotD. Alas, my rewatch begins! I actually haven't gone back to the beginning since the show ended, and had a good time starting again. I really like the time spent at Winterfell. And yeah, Viserys' treatment of his sister is...less surprising after HotD.
Also, I think it's only said once in the episode, so I'll mention here that the King (Robert) is a Baratheon.
The way you’re like “storming over there”, when King Robert is literally from the Stormlands 😂 love it
the intro feels like you are on top of a dragon riding through all the kingdoms. so cool
I’m so excited for you guys to watch this! I just found your channel while watching your HOTD reactions and I’m so thrilled you’re doing GOT as well, love your commentary and your perspectives, will continue watching you guys through the rest of your HOTD and now GOT reactions, keep it up!
THE MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR GUYS!! LETS GOO!!
So surreal seeing a reaction this way round. This will be fun to see your experience watching these two shows the other way round to most of us.
Oh damn theyre getting into GoT!
Tyrion Lannister & The Hound are my favorite characters 😊
Just to touch on a few things that happen in this episode:
Daenerys & Viserys Targaryen are the 2 blonde ones you saw, theyre the children of Aerys II Targaryen.
Robert Baratheon isn't a Targaryen but you'll find out more about him being king through this season. His betrothed was Lyanna Stark (Ned Starks sister), which is what that scene in the crypt was about, but as you saw she died. Hes now married to Cersei Lannister who is Queen Regent.
If you watch back HotD, there was Jason Lannister in a few episodes (who gave the spear to the King for Aegon II's name day) and there was a Stark sitting on the council as well.
The Lannisters are a big and noble house. The Starks are also a promenent house as theyre one of the First Men of Westeros (first families to sail to and settle Westeros), they hold Winterfell (which is the north) and they guard The Wall (which protects the northen realm).
Theres a lot to unpack, but they will touch multiple times on these subjects so you'll get to understand the houses and locations.
I would recommend doing a google on "Westeros Map", which will give you a good idea of the layout of the land to help understand where these things are taking place 😊
To be fair Robert Baratheon is kind of a Targaryen
This is the fun of reaction channels! Watching people whose reaction you already like view something you know is good and can’t wait for their reactions to certain episodes. This is gonna be so much fun. Maybe even epic. Great reaction on the first episode.
I loved this video!
You guys are absolutely going to be mind blown by this show.
The fact that you've started HotD already... makes this a very unique reaction for us in the community. And the little knowledge you have will help... a lot.
But. Some things will stand out more for you than us because you know the characters spoken about in their talks of history.
👌❤️😊🙏
I'm sure you'll get all the support you need to motivate you to continue GoT reactions. 😎❤️👌
See you in the next one.
Just a quick fun fact: King Robert actually DOES have Targaryen blood, in 2 types of ways:
1. His house (Baratheon) was founded by a rumored Targaryen bastard (though it's possible that rumor was false)
2. The definitive way, ie Targaryens married into House Baratheon several times.
It's one of the ways (in addition to right by "might"/ conquest) they justified Robert taking the throne when the rebellion he led was won.
So, you weren't totally off in thinking Targaryen blood would still play a part.
Just a warning - There is one line in this show that completely spoils the fate of one of the characters in HotD. It's in Season 3, Episode 4. The scene starts with a shot looking up at some characters through a grate in the floor, and the very first line in the scene is the HotD spoiler. The scene before it ends with the line "Prodigies in odd places, indeed." So, after you hear that line, and the scene changes, cover your ears until the shot changes.
Call me pedantic, but if a series is intended as a sequel (or prequel) following the success of another series, then that first series can't really have spoilers for the second one since they were intended to watch in that order.
Knowing the fate of certain HotD characters before hand shouldn't ruin any plot, since the entire of House of the Dragon was built as a successor to Game of Thrones and will generally assume you've seen it.
@@cascade1788 exactly
@@cascade1788 Not exactly. People that watched GOT in its initial run won't have known exactly what joffrey was referencing and would have forgotten the reference. But this guys are watching HOTD so they would definitely notice it.
They know. They also have mods that have warned them of that scene.
@@afrobuddy4801 Fair point, I can see how the related facts would stand out much more if watched side by side, but would still consider that valuable world knowlege as opposed to spoilers and would never recommend that someone skip a scene.
Its almost like saying you should skip season 1 so it doesnt spoil you for season 2.
Everyone thinks that dead little girl at the beginning was a doll, a fake. But she actually was played by a real live actress! Just looks like a doll in real life :D
“The dog is there for a reason” 😂
Just discovered ur channel!!! Don’t want to get into watching GOT again myself because it’s too time consuming, but please continue this so I can watch you guys! Love the commentary
This is my favourite show of all time! And I started when It came out, I introduced my friends to it over the years and love their reactions they would ring me up and talk about each episode.....until the caught me up! I will enjoy you watching them to see your reaction! Earned a sub please carry on! Also loving HotD aswel 👍
I love introducing people to it.
This is a take I never thought I'd see.. the questions you guys are asking about the targaryens and the hair... this is going to be so good!
This commitment is deserving of a new subscription from myself 👏 👏 👏 👏
Love this. IM here to watch all your reactions to these episodes. So glad ur watching GoT fresh after HoD. Keep it up!
It's so hard to find good reactors, you guys are amazing, this is going to be an awesome ride.
I just discovered you guys. And let me say, I enjoy both of you so much! Your passion for the shows you watch and interactions are awesome. Thanks so much, please don’t stop! And maybe watch more, FASTER! Haha
Good luck! Such a cool idea to do this around the same time as HotD! I can't wait to tune in!!! :)
After all those years I still believe that Bran's fall it's symbolic: from that moment the viewers have fallen into the GOT rabbit-hole....
Everyone says the girl looks like a doll but it's actually a real girl harnessed to the tree.
so happy yall are reacting to this! i cant wait to see how you'll view things from watching HOTD first
Found your channel when you started HotD, definitely cool to see reactions from people who'd never seen GoT, and thought your responses were great so now following. Brilliant to see you now start on this epic adventure, I have many hours of entertainment to look forward to now!
One thing worth noting about the whole GoT universe, and possibly not something you'd read about to avoid spoilers, is that the original author George RR Martin took many influences from actual medieval history. Some of the things you'll see happened in real life, but retold in a fictional fantasy setting. That's what I love about GoT, is it blends truth with far out fiction. Like the incest thing, check out the Habsburg Jaw - no spoilers so don't worry - a deformity caused by incest in the royal line. I'm really looking forward to reactions to other shocking parts of history that will pop up in the show, as well as all the cool fantasy and magic stuff! Superb reaction to the first episode btw!
Great comment.
