- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2022
- Showrunner Miguel Sapochnik, Eve Best (Rhaenys Targaryen), Fabien Frankel (Ser Criston Cole), and more describe the complexities of shooting the scene where Meleys breaks through the floor of the Dragonpit during Aegon II’s coronation. Watch the full The House That Dragons Built docuseries on HBO Max to learn more.
3:32 That cute innocent smile after Eve said "F- you all." She really is the Best. She went from teaching someone with the Dragon Flame (Fate) to riding a Dragon.
EXACTLY 💯
To the showrunners and team, amazing first season (final episode pending). From all of us, please do not forget your roots from this season when you get into the Dance. As the plot evolves to allow more big set-pieces do not forget character and conversation. As stakes rise and you feel the need to have penultimate scenes like this one, do not forget logical consistency. *Do not forget about the iron fleet*.
Totally agree. For me GOT and HOTD is not about the action, but all about characters, character building, amazing conversations, backstabbing, the suspence. And as you say, dont forget about the logic and dont be too hung up on "breaking the internet" ending scenes". People are not stupid.
this, ffs
fr fr, very well put
The shade of it all😂
Lol ... they not gonna listen to you , or read this bro, but good try anyway ..
I cannot express in words how much I LOVE Eve Best as Rhaenys. She is far and away my favourite character. I am rooting for her always.
My favourite as well, she should have been Queen.
Then I wouldn't read the book.
Eve protrays her so elegantly.
eve is great, but i don't see how rhaenys could be your favourite character
She'll die in season 2
10/10 for the Armour designers.... Such beautiful details. I love Daemon Armour too, the helmet was scary af.
Looks like it's made from Rathalos scales
“I was in the writers room one day and I thought wouldn’t it be cool if Rhaenys came through the floor on a dragon” No please not this sort of writing again I don’t think my heart can take it
everyone loved it so....
@@BizarreSmallville nah not definitely not everyone mate
@@BizarreSmallville you high?
@@BizarreSmallville I think most people feel the same. Explosive action is cool, but good writing should not take a back seat for it. For example, this scene, or Laena’s over the top Death. It felt like everything was just in service to a big shock, rather than the shock serving the story
@@westerosandchill7644 how is it bad writing though?
The best thing about rhaenys’ armor is that it looks like it’s been battle worn, and not shiny/brand new. She’s comfortable in it, the way one gets used to broken in riding boots. I don’t know what fights she may have done, but she’s done some, and man ALIVE is she a badass.
when her armor is red and it matches her dragon ❤
My headcanon is she wearing the armor of her aunt Alyssa since she rides her dragon.
@@NRV0 “ Rhaenys looks down at her Aunt Alyssa’s armor and brushes her fingers across the scaled metal lovingly. She wouldn’t recognize what the Red Keep had become. The veneer of self righteousness that Hightower and his whelp brought to the kingdom. Hightower blood have overtaken the Targaryen in Alicent’s children. They may have the coloring, but they lack the constitution to be a Dragon. She heaves Alyssa’s armor up and begins buckling the sides. “ I’ll show them what a Dragon is. And I’ll give Alicent my answer.”
@nero just my brief head canon!
One thing Alyssa had always loved about Rhaenys was Rhaenys’ refusal to conform. Had Alyssa ever had a daughter, she would have liked her to be like Rhaenys.
I was hyped for Rhaenys to have her moment and the chills were there, but showrunners should really stick to the book since once they got off the leash with a completely original scene, it made little sense. Even if the Princess somehow suffered no resistance from guards, dragonkeepers or locked doors on her way to Meleys and was willing to decimate commoners while sparing her real enemies, humans don't survive stone debris damage, that much Cersei and Jamie proved to us.
None of these armor are comfortable but Rhaenys armor was unbelievably cool
I like Alicents armour more. I believe the maesters call it, "plot armour".
Looked too high fantasy compared to the rest of HotD costumes, in my opinion.
0:15 - 0:47 is a terrifying window into how Sara Hess in particular approaches storyboarding. "It went in immediately and we never looked back." Seeing as most people only acknowledged the additional scene as a visual spectacle, it's pretty grating that the screenwriters are so comfortable in deliberately missing the mark.
No motive, reasoning, or characterization as to why Rhaenys would be so derelict in keeping her family safe by NOT burning Alicent and the Greens. It'll just have to be explored after the fact, bc Sara Hess thinks its cooler.
sara hess is literally a tumor who has fully been disregarding characterization. she's trying to villainize daemon whilst trying to portray aegon as a sympathetic hero, fat shamed, and just generally doesn't understand fire and blood. she needs to be removed from the show immediately.
@@vonbrownYT I mean, the Dan and Dave vibes are strong with her
Coddled writers from fancy schools who never had a real job. Don't know how things like floors, and stone, and physics work.
It's always scapegoating the one person with you lot, ain't it? There's loads of people in that writting room, there's people above her greenlighting that idea.
Her armor is gorgeous.
I wonder if they had hired that team of designers for the Rings of Power on how it would have looked!probably just as gorgeous but couldnt save the writing on that show at all!
Rhaenys’ armour has to be the coolest of all season. So beautiful and stricking
Daemon was amazing
Lmfao I mean we've only seen 2 other armors Daemon and Corlys not much competition
You mean, "hottest" hehe
I'm gay but I'd totally go straight for momma Rhaenys! Like OMG 😍
@@DatBoiChris420 yeah and they were all fabulous
And the front looks like dragon eggs.
That little wing fold move Meleys did through the doors of the dragonpit, what an amazing little touch that was
It was a fun moment, but I'd like to know how she survived being crushed between a dragon and the floor as the dragon was pushing upward to break it.
Because visuals> logic
and where she got that armor from as she ran from the red keep in her gown
That good old GOT plot armor is truly the greatest armor.
@@mubashirkhan1427 If it's her riding gear why would it not be at the dragon pit? A small place for armor, harnesses etc isn't far fatched
@@mubashirkhan1427 she had been in King's Landing for a while at that point. She probably left her armor in the same room as the dragon, or maybe they have a locker for their armors in the halls leading to the dragon cells. There's no point in taking your armor to the Red Keep if you're not a knight.
Tell them that smallfolk will never forget. Tell them, when they ask you what happened there, that the smallfolk came for Team Black.
BURN ALL OF THEM.
I don't think the Meleys scene breaking through the Dragonpit was necessary. I know it's fan service to give Rhaenys her BADASS MOMENT but it made her look bad towards the commoners.
I already liked Rhaenys before that scene. I see her and Viserys as the only two "adults" in this series. The only ones rational and a voice of reason. I already knew Rhaenys was a badass knowing what happens to her at the end. The scene wasn't needed to confirm that.
Perhaps the scene gives the common folks a more valid reason to storm the Dragonpit later on. But this also gives the dragon an excuse to escape if Meleys could break through. I only saw that scene as added fan service for Team Black and people who likes Rhaenys which I already did by Ep 5.
Otto is a real piece of work. He's been plotting to kill Daemon for 20 years It's only the next day after Rhaenyra left for Dragonstone and Otto is already ordering for her death while pregnant and long before Viserys died. *I* *now* *condone* *Blood* *and* *Cheese.* Feel bad for Helaena.
I find both Alicent and Aegon complex because sometimes I want to strangle them. Other times, I'll pity them. And I can relate to Aegon. When I lived in the Philippines from 2011-2016, all I did that first year was go to brothels. I'm like Daemon and Aegon paying for poon tang.
I'm a first-born son like Aegon. At 13, I masturbated just like Aegon. Not from a window and I never raped anyone, but a lot of his flaws, I actually have. High expectations from parents. Only disappointed them once I reached my teens.
Aemond might look cooler than Aegon but where's his layers? I need more than just being a badass. I have Viserys and Rhaenys over Khal Drogo because I seem to know them more. Drogo, Oberyn, and Selmy were all badasses but we barely knew them.
So I understand the fandom for the Greens. Doesn't mean l'll root for them, think they're right, or love any of them, but I enjoy watching their complexities. I may hate what Alicent or Aegon does and then start feeling sorry for them like 2 minutes later.
Aegon is the guy who skipped prom but still got named prom king. Zero effort to achieve it. Just be born with a penis and be first in line like Prince (now King) Charles and Prince William.
They will.
There will be a gigantic payoff which will probably be the singlemost important moment of the dance
@@ThePatman1980 well said
Sara Hess is the new D&D. I actually wouldn't be surprised if she worked on the final seasons of GOT with them
Season 8 PTSD: _engaged_
HBO bring all the money for these dragons, they’ll be the highlight of this show and seeing this, I’m sure we’ll not be disappointed once the actual dance starts 👌🏻
I find it immensely frustrating that Rhaenys was willing to kill probably 100 or so innocents trying to escape but spared the greens.
Rhaenys could have ended the dance right then and there. If she had burned them all, she would have saved the dragons and house Targaryen.
Yeah but they were just peasants even someone like Rhaenys who seems honorable doesn't really give a toss about the common people.
And then you have no show and no Dance of the Dragons. Remember, this is still a TV show based on a fantasy book. Sometimes you need to throw out logic and reason.
I think that's kind of the point of Game of Thrones overall and why Daenerys was considered such an exceptional person in the show. Season 8 aside, the idea of casually killing a bunch of innocents for kicks was repugnant to her.
i find it hilarious that people bring this up like they actually care about the people that got trampled on.
@@BizarreSmallville exactly. They dgaf about the smallfolk.
It scares me to see that so many idiots love the Rhaenys scene and praises the writers for it. That increases the odds for more stupid scene like that next season😬
Stop pretending like you care for those people, those are rapist and murderers, they just cheer for Aegon like it was nothing, This show is not Disney, happy ending for innocent people doesn't exist
@@RIAN-he8oo It's because the scene is completely out of left field and not part of Rhaenys's character
@@RIAN-he8oo You think every single of the hundreds of people Rhaenys murdered was a r@pist or a murderer?
Yas girl boss Rhaenys and Meleys killing like 100 civilians dropping the dragonpit!
Rhaeneys is pure metal. I love it. I’ve read the books several times and I am so pleased with the way the story is being told.
i love her character so much! So much power, yet so grounded!
Bro she killed thousands of innocent people in this scene
Yeah okay but she came from the ground didn't she? Very grounded! 🤡
@@flyingcompanion that made me cackle
@@justuskuhn6941 who care
@@justuskuhn6941 so? This is GOT babes. Thousands more will die.
For anybody who doesn’t Rhaenys’ maternal grandfather was a Baratheon and grandmother a Velaryon.
Even more incest?
Ours is the fury
Her Mother was a Baratheon (Jocelyn Baratheon, Daughter of Rogar Baratheon through his second wife Alyssa Velaryon, who was once wife and Queen to King Aenys I before his death).
Her Father was Aemon Targaryen, once Prince of Dragonstone, heir to the Iron Throne, son of Jaeherys Targaryen, whose mother was also Alyssa Velaryon, and father Aenys I.
This would make Rhaenys’s Father (Aemon) and her Mother (Jocelyn) half aunt and nephew.
@Amalia 🌹 What does this have to do with Rhaenys?
I am so thankful this series was created as after got season 8 I never thought I would find that love and passion for that world again. But I have so a big thank you!
Didnt notice Rhaenys' armour during the episode because of Meleis stealing the spotlight, but it is incredible! Great job. I look forward to see it closely in ep10
Eve Best just rocks this role. You can see in the dignity, strength, and intelligence she brings that Rhaenys should have inherited the iron throne.
Don't forget restraint!
The thing is, Rhaenys is the kind of character that does not want bloodshed, and yet now she has the highest kill count of the series
😂
What about Daemon??
He murdered a lot of criminals or criminals to be
But but but gIrLBosS
Season 2 so goes full mad after what happens in episode 10 dragon fight end scene, the horror!
meh, the smallfolk don't really matter to the dragonriders once they're up there. even daemon's caraxes killed some of his bannermen in the stepstones.
I know you want cool scenes, just please remember LOGICAL > COOL.
Wish they gave an explanation like they blocked all the exits of the dragon pit so she had no choice but to go through the floor, not just because it will look "awesome"
OMFG yeahhh... their only explanation was that.😑😑
If the writers would give up logic for a "badass" scene like this, I really can't wait for another game of thrones season 8 2.0, it seems like everyone hasn't learned anything from it yet.
Wow .......oh my gawddddd how can a fing dragon burst through the floor, that's not logical
😭😭😭😭.
@@paroxymal7688 it was just an excuse to have a cgi dragon. The fact that this was the best idea from a writing standpoint that they could come up with is pretty damning though.
what are you talking about?
amazing visuals no doubt team did a great job that being said its the shittiest scene in the whole universe because rhaenys has the chance to save her family and end the war in moments but she chooses not too because reasons she destroyed her own family and plunged the country into civil war for nothing
Kinslaying is a grave sin in Westros
that last line from Eve Best is hilarious!
The way Rhaenys says fuck you is adorable
This show should take some grammys and emmys. Great work. Great cast. Great everything ❤️😍
grammys are for music ?
@@subscriberswithoutavideo-gm6yo I listen to the sound tracks on Spotify. They're are great as well. Ramin is a great composer. This show deserves great recognition for their work.
It's probably going to win everything next year. The Emmys loved game of thrones, and this is pretty similar.
Paddy ❤️❤️❤️
The team continue to evolve and push the boundaries of the technology used to create this magnificent world. Along with beautifully crafted sets, costumes and props that took months to build. The level of detail is incredible. I can’t wait to see what they do next and for other series like Princess Nymeria’s story.
There is so much hardwork behind every scene. Hats off to the HOTD team for giving us such a great content
That scene was epic minus the stupidity of killing at least 100 commoners. XD that armor is PURE ART! WOW ♥
nobody cares about the people who got stepped on.
@@BizarreSmallville People like you are the reason we got S7-S8. Showrunners can't call the murder of hundreds of innocent people "heroic moment" just because it looks cool. They are not 14 y.o. boys. Neither are we.
@@cagdas135 Well considering what happens at the end of this story (which I won't spoil), it's perfectly in line with what's to come and actually adds more weight to the motives of certain characters.
@@madmandonna1 It may have in-universe consequences, sure. Still shouldn't be called heroic, especially by showrunners. And "rule of cool" shouldn't trump everything else.
@@cagdas135 exactly that. For some reason many folks watch films/shows with half of their brains, so they don't notice these things.
Absolutely stellar 1st Season. I actually had a problem with the escape though. I feel there wasn't enough setup. Your answers just don't seem to jive. I can suspend belief and still enjoy it, but I've been spoiled. With a very few exceptions. the writing has been so good and I have not had any difficulty understanding motivations and I appreciate that you often let us interpret our own. This was just not possible with this, though. Rhaenys' character is so all over the place. Perhaps these kind of setups will be better in the future. I'm looking forward to a killer finale. Clare, it was beautifully directed, and I am glad you are returning next season.
Yes sadly this episode is the worst for me and Sarah Hess is the problem. I can see a difference between the two episodes she wrote (6&9) and the rest. The whole scene with Rhaenys at the end didnt make any scense and was only done for some action. It doesnt fit Rhaenys character to just kill thousands of civilians just for a stare down. How did it even work that she wasnt injured or not dead after crashing through the floor. From where was the armour?
@@anki5156 Stop on this Sarah Hess crusade, y'all are sprouting bullshit, yet again to find a woman to shit on. You read the shit people write and take it as truth
@@20storiesunder i dont read the shit people write and think its the truth ... i watch the show, i read the books, i know a lot abput the world. Apparently more than Sarah Hess. I am a woman myself, so i dont hate on other women or people in general but if she doesnt make good job and she should be fired or at least criticised
@@anki5156 I agree it was illogical in a sense, but she didn’t just break through for a stare down, she broke through to warn rhaenrya and because she knew she might have been killed should she stay in kings landing because she was thought to be loyal to her, and she knew rhaenrya deserved to know
@@anki5156 I can’t disagree. I’ve seen some of her interviews. I don’t have any issue with hey, girl power, but it needs to be earned or it’s just hollow.
I totally fell in love with Rhaenys in the 9th episode, can't wait for more! :D
Eve Best is such an wonderful actress.
0:16 it's giving "dany kind of forgot about the iron fleet"... the writers this season have certainly....made choices. resulting in differing characterization and lack of unity even tho the season overall is good.
The last replica was masterpiece
The effort, of everyone and everything behind the camera are all top notch! This is one of the best season among all of it.
As a lover of the books, seen the books become series is loving, truely love it!
"Rhaenys and Meleys' great escape"
You mean:
"Rhaenys and Meleys' pointless mass murder scene"
Well how does she not get hurt or die while on the back of her dragon with all the stuff falling all over. It’s kind of unrealistic for a dragon to burst through the floor made of stone or whatever using what? the dragon’s head, shoulders and wings and she comes out unscathed on the back of her dragon.
You guys go so much into depth for storytelling. Wow. Kudos 🙌🏻
I absolutely love this show! it is going to be a long wait for season 2!
The VFX team are the unsung HotD heroes 👏
Yeah
Not really. Most of us who are here for the story don't give a single fuck about this bullshit. We care about the STORY. Ppl who are interested in VFX can find PLENTY of it in marvel and disney bullshit crab movies. Please leave HoTD alone. Quality of the writing should be above any "cool" effect. Because no matter how cool a scene looks, if it makes no sense what's the point?!! what was the point of Rheanys killing hundreds of people???? just to show off her dragon???
@@yuzan3607 True..I agree
Unsung?? Lmfao literally everyone knows the VFX team carries the show
If you want a bunch of CGI bullshit go watch marvel movies, Real fans care about the story and plot
@@yuzan3607 We very much know that, but you must give credit where it’s due, the VFX artists are doing an amazing job
As a stupid scene added to Martin's original narrative, it will backfire and bring out questions. If Meleys could break through, why the other dragons are trapped inside while being slain in the time of insurrection? Where did Rhaenys put on her stylish armour suit? (She is used to leaving her belongings in the car, maybe?) If Meleys was in chains, how did she get unlocked?
Thank you for saying she came through the floor. I had a couple irritating debates with a few people who were saying she came from above lol. This scene was sick!!
Loved the last few seconds of this video - yes, Eve! 😂
0:10 If only that mindset was around when the Night King finally showed up after thousands of years
a whole video dedicated to this scene? like they're really proud of it??
I would wear Rhaneys's costume in daily basis because thats so freaking cool!
I cannot wait for this Sunday!!!!
I don’t think it occurred to them how problematic this scene would be, facing widespread criticism from major reviewers and fans
I’d want to believe they’ll re-focus moving forward, but I’ve seen enough mindless seals online all celebrating this “slay queen” moment for me to believe they could just as easily delude themselves into thinking it’s scenes like this that’ll bring the show success.
It lost one whole review point on rotten from critics after going up previously from one episode before
its a vocal minority.
Because when you just "want to look cool" you sacrifice story an plot and logic most all of the time....
@@xNorth931 yeah.. just the sensible ones... majority are the sheeps who consumes every junk thatz thrown at them as long they are cool nd shocking.
"So there I was, just watching the King's coronation and a FUCKING DRAGON bursts through the building!"
Yep
This show is the greatest gift to me for 2022.
I love every leaks and BTS so much, so hyped now!
The costuming is exquisite ❤️
Isso é magnífico! Esse show é poderoso e visceral, tô amando acompanhar esse espetáculo! Quero a segunda temporada pra 2023!! Por favor HBO!
Great scene but i just wish Aegon's dragon would have been there as a justification for not simply killing all the plotters. Thats a MASSIVE plot issue.
Not really. They didnt physically attack her in any way yet. She more than likely pictures herself standing there with her son and showed mercy....waiting for an actual battle to ensue in the future.
@@bostongoddu Aegon and Sunfyre have the greatest bonds in the history of westeros from what I know, As soon as Aegon panicked and when Meleys roared at them, He would have come charging down on Meleys, Also don't forget Dreamfyre... Helaena Targaryen's Dragon
@@bostongoddu I'm glad she can comfort herself with that when the Greens kill her Granddaughters.....opss, spoilers lol.
no its not, pls the small folk being trampled give a very good reason for what happends later in the dragon pit
@@HaelinX man, Meleys is x3 bigger than Sunfyre at that point, if such a thing was to happen the scene would have another turn, she would kill Sunfyre and burn the greens, it is better written the way it is. (Even after he's grown he will still be no match for her but i won't spoil further)
This show has been absolutely AMAZING. FLAWLESS. Pacing, performances, costuming, casting, VFX, score, scripting. Just INCREDIBLE. For a first season, this has been MILES ahead of GoT season 1. House of the Dragon has had BREADTH to a level that GoT rarely attained, and has done so CONSISTENTLY.
Ok so I'm really loving this show its fantastic having fun in westros again especially after the disaster of the last seasons of GOT and your doing a great job but I feel it important to give constructive criticism, this scene didn't work for me it felt like you turned her into a phyco who just killed like 500 people and didn't end the war when she had the chance even tho she just showed her willingness to kill people, it felt like spectacle for the sake of it,
So here's my alternative suggestion on what you should have done instead, while ageon is soaking in the glory intercut it with rhaenys going down to her dragon putting on her armour, unchaining and mounting meleys and escaping out the back door of the dragon pit and have meleys let out a roar that alerts the greens to her and have them become visually worried, similar big movement that doesn't put her character Into question
They are just peasents, nobility doesn't care.
@@20storiesunder I'm willing to bet it wasn't just peasants, there was probably people who work in the Royle army, traders and merchants who bring wealth to the city all sorts of people, and peasant or no that's still a big number
Plus meleys bursting through the floor so easily will prove inconsistent with what will happen later in the dragon pit with dream fire a far bigger dragon
"It's a great heroic moment for her character"
The smallfolk: yay... 💀💀💀
Brilliant looking scene, the dragon and the armor were beautiful. Almost worth the sacrifice of logic
the armour designers are amazing!
This show definitely surpassed expectations. The whole crew did an amazing job. Very excited for the finale.
what was the point of Rheanys killing hundreds of people???? just to show off her dragon???
It's bad writing
@@yuzan3607 I definitely don’t agree with her doing that. Highborn don’t give a shit about lowborn, I get it, but I don’t agree. Especially with the writers response on the after credit segment. They literally said people won’t agree with it.
@@yuzan3607 I don’t think it’s all bad. It has its highs and lows. Her bursting out of the floor, killing who knows how many, completely unscathed was an example of the low. Viserys as a character was written pretty damn good.
@@yuzan3607 she should've kill them all, 2 second ago, they were acclaiming Aegon
So this pretty much confirms that they thought of this scene first and then started thinking about how to include it into the plot. Have you learned nothing from Game of Thrones?
From "The Queen who never was" to "Thank God she was never Queen" in 2 minutes 👏
they never learn 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah this is irksome
why?
So its Miguel and Sara who thought this was a good idea instead of Aegon riding Sunfyre 🙃🙃🙃
This breakdown was really cool! 😎👍🏼
The Queen Who Never Said Dracrays.
They picked the perfect actress for Rhaenys 💯
This whole video: "We kinda forgot the dragonkeep was strong enough to keep Balerion the black dread imprisoned for years"
You guys should improve the cgi
THE SCENE I WOULD HAVE SEEN: After the coronation, the remainder of the Kingsguard escorted Aegon to his mount, a splendid creature with gleaming golden scales and pale pink membranes on the wings. Sunfyre was the dragon's given name golden dawn. Munkun tells us that the king flew three times around the city before landing within the walls of the Red Keep. Ser Arryk Cargyll led His Grace into the touch-lit throne room, where Aegon II rose before the steps of the Iron Throne a thousand lords and knights. Screams echoed through the hall.
That sounds beautiful
Shout out to DAN AND DAVE for giving us the greatest show ever. Their success has led to yet another magnificent show. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dave. RHAENYS IS BAD ASS!!!
This gotta be sarcasm. I'm smelling it.
No. It is NOT sarcasm. People bitch and moan about what they did NOT get from Dan & Dave and never stop to admire what we did get from them. George RR himself, time and time again has talked about so many things that D&D wanted to do but could not do because of budget constraints and other things. We don't care tho. We just wanted them to magically give us what we have in our heads. Some folks just bitch because of their own sexism, from what I've seen. They complain because of Arya's ending etc. Stupid shite, imo.
@@TengAi21 Budget constraints? Bro what? HBO was willing to extend the show to 10 seasons, it was D&D who wanted to wrap it up and go work for star wars to get more money. As soon as the book material was over the show was deteriorating. They were ignoring stupid plot points just because they 'forgot about it' lmfao. Like the scene where Dany's dragon died because she forgot about Iron fleet and couldn't see them from the sky. It was legit the reason they gave and its stupid. Season 7 and 8 are full of inconsistenties. And sexism? Seriously? Arya was most loved character of the show. People hated it because entire prince who was promised arc was made a joke of. They hyped night King for 8 seasons just to be killed by a girl boss with a dagger. I could go on and on. They destroyed the show completely. There was no budget constraints, HBO was putting millions and millions in the show. It was deliberate assassination of the franchise.
@@Saurabhkumar-bn3dl Spend more time listening to GRRM in his interviewS. You'll hear him talk about the budgeting etc. He'll talk about how expensive the dragons are etc. If you read the books and watch the show, you can see what is GRRM's work vs D&D's choices. Snow is the P who was P. He did exactly what the prince was supposed to do; LEAD THE ARMIES OF MEN, against the dead. No one said he was going to kill the NK. LEAD ARMIES. He went around trying to get everyone to unite, LIKE IT WAS PROPHESIED HE WOULD DO. GRRM hides stuff in plain sight. FOR EXAMPLE; Jon burnt his hand on a lamp and got LONGCLAW as a reward. The prophecy said, the P who P reached in a fire and pulled out a sword they called LIGHTBRINGER. YOU just don't recognize GRRM's style of hiding stuff. Have you read the books?
@@TengAi21 You are speaking in terms of what the story meant in books. I'm not talking about that. Books are not finished and yes I'm gonna be honest i didn't read all the way through because I am waiting for winds of winter. GRRM would obviously gives reasons for the failure of the show, but who would audience believe? GRRM or production company who was willing to give more budget to the show. And budget? Lol. You are saying that the most successful show in that time had budget constraints because of dragons and yet they spent tons of money on HOTD not knowing whether it would be successful or not. Doesn't make sense and sound like a bad business decision. Now coming to the show, if you take your head out of book you would know how awful the dialogues, characters and execution became in later seasons. The long night battle was absolutely hilarious to watch with people marching in the dark without knowing the location of undead and fighting in the open. Even Peter mentioned it, they kept woman and children with dead people and.... The army is literally made from dead people. How stupid. Prophecies and canons all that doesn't matter when the stuff I'm watching forces me to notice stupid mistakes after mistakes in writing. There are plenty of inconsistencies I noticed and when I looked at other people's reviews I noticed some more. There is a good reason why later seasons are trash talked so much. You like it that's absolutely fine but it doesn't excuse the absymmal writing. Dialogues were cliche and plot points broken. Again books don't have these so even if I agree with you about the Jon prophecy, it still wouldn't make the show better.
The way Rhaenys is the best character 😂 I love the actress too. Amazing
You know what a heroic moment for Rhaenys' character would have been? Not murdering hundreds of people for no reason.
Aw i cant wait for 48hrs
Incredible
That 0:45 CGI looks like Marvels recent CGI.
Oh god please dont let Sarah Hess ruin the show. Get rid of her before the work on season 2 begins. Her 2 episodes are the worst of the 9 ones that are out. She doesnt understand how important the civilians are in George R. R. Martins world and how a ruler is looked upon considering the way he treats the cilvilians. There is also not much logic behind the Rhaenys scene. Sadly Migul Sapochnik says it himself that they only wrote and included this scene for the spectal and action. Sarah Hess also doesnt seem to understand the characters of Rhaenys and Daemon! These comments she made in some interviews ... horrible how you can be employed on shuch a fantastic show and than miss such important things or get them wrong. This episode in general gave me huge season 8 Game of thrones vibes, wich isnt a good thing
Eve Best at the end is hilarious!
LOVED THIS SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really hope they bring this up again and use her guilt of not roasting them then and there as character development. As a one off scene it doesn't make much sense.
so rhaenys is the most evil person in HotD she killed, what 500 innocent people including children right? I'm glad to see the show writers did not put any thought into this.
Yeah, at least based on only the show, books it's different. The worst part is the way the series, and even her own actress consider the scene to be cool and heroic, a great moment for Rhaenys instead of an atrocity.
Amazing 👏
It made no sense Rhaenys killing all those innocent people and not killing the corrupt monarchs in front of her. This show is a 10/10 for me but this scene made me remember GOT latest seasons.
It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
Royals will do whatever they want to the smallfolk, I mean they have a criminally under enforced prohibition on raping brides in Westeros. But to hurt a real people like Hightowers and Targaryens?! Unthinkable! Also it is the first big step towards The Storming of The Dragonpit.
Hello please make the episodes longer in season 2 I'm sure no one is going to complain , thank you
Rhaenys’s Mother was a Baratheon (Jocelyn Baratheon, Daughter of Rogar Baratheon through his wife Alyssa Velaryon, who was once wife and Queen to King Aenys I Targaryen before his death).
Her Father was Aemon Targaryen, once Prince of Dragonstone, heir to the Iron Throne, son of Jaeherys I Targaryen, whose mother was also Alyssa Velaryon, and father Aenys I.
This would make Rhaenys’s Father (Aemon) and her Mother (Jocelyn) half aunt and nephew.
I loved that they didn't cut the last part the fu** you hahahha
What a needless display. After murdering maybe dozens of smallfolk, Rhaenys didn't end it then and there. And we're supposed to think her magnanimous and the bigger person. She'll regret that dearly when she faces Aegon II again in a few months.
It would have actually been better if Rhaenys came through the front entrance when Aegon was staring directly out at and waving his sword. It also would have made more sense as many people did die from that entrance and that is not Rhaenys intent to kill innocent people.
She's amazing!!
0:14 let's focus less on what "would be aweasome" and keep up the narrative coherence instead. House of the Dragon has been really good thus far but no one wants Season 8 all over again.
Awesome and fantasticly made, unfotunatly we gotta wait 1,2 years for season 2...
