Amazing work. My heart hurts for Viserys that he didn't realize he needed to protect the Targaryen line from his own second set of children and their grasping grandfather.

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much!

[@thalmoragent9344]

But why did he HAVE those children if he was just gonna neglect them, and love only his first child? I mean, he was a terrible father to his kids with Alicent, and every son he had made Rhaenyra's own claim weaker.. His second set of children would've made the Targaryen Line stronger, not weaker. Rhaenyra having bastards already weakens the Targaryen line and legitimacy

[@cheyennem9218]

@@thalmoragent9344 Paddy has talked about this and the explanation, which tracks with the characterization on screen, is that Viserys was a slave to what he thought was his duty: providing stability, making his house and the realm stronger by having more heirs (which he was led to believe would make Rhaenyra safer - this was misguided counsel by bad-faith actors like Otto Hightower), all so eventually when Aegon's prophecy came to pass, Westeros would be ready. It was a burden he bore badly. He wasn't a strong or wise enough king to know when to keep the peace and when to make war. He didn't know how to please anyone in his family as he balanced that duty alongside his guilt and soul-death after letting Aemma be butchered. He wasn't a terrible father by choice. He was too ill to be present. He was a husk of a man because the throne destroys people's lives. He was naive and let himself be manipulated into taking another wife when he was still deep in mourning. He didn't realize Rhaenyra was the only child he would be able to really connect with, and he didn't realize that by *not realizing this* he would doom her and his cherished grandchildren by her. He left the people dearest to him vulnerable time and time again. It's sad stuff. He's a deeply flawed and deeply tragic character.

[@thalmoragent9344]

@@cheyennem9218 Yeah, overall at least I can give Viserys credit that every now and then, he'd put his foot down on some matters (even if poorly handled), and in the end, made efforts to maintain peace. Better than Aenys was, but that's a low bar for any Targaryen king. Still, I appreciate Viserys wanting things to just be chill, I resonate with that. But I feel he made vital mistakes back when his health was at least decent, and that only made things harder to handle in the future as his health deteriorated. "Viserys the Peaceful" was perhaps too much a pacifist, sad but true. Still, he was a bad father to Aemond in the situation regarding his lost Eye. Sure he can't bring it back but, come on man, at least pretend you care or feel bad for your son being half blinded and legally a cripple

[@powertrip25]

Call me crazy but king Viserys is a top 5 character in the GOT universe

[@m5ishell475]

Only top5? 😂

[@lantern4206]

No his story is very good and sad

[@JesseJr19]

So good brother, Viserys truly was one of the best character of this season and you did him justice!

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much brother!

[@ECGEdits]

Outstanding, Paddy's acting improved this character so much, what a standout!

[@ADedits9]

He’s my favorite ❤️ well done dude

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much man!

[@Sigurjon96]

Viserys the peaceful was a true king and a good man. Thank you for this lovely tribute. He deserves it.

[@MasterOfTheElements]

"There's a part of me that wishes I'd been tested" Oh boy, were you tested.

[@smokeybeefroarus1497]

A truly HONORABLE king.

[@valProdz]

Amazing tribute! Love the HOD edits everyone has been doing.

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much!

[@SWFT_edits]

This was awesome! Definitely the best Viserys video out there.

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much for kind of words brother!

[@AlRNL]

This was really well edited ! Well done bro ! I really enjoy this edit ! Can't wait to see what you gonna do after !

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much!

[@stefgld]

Amazing, wonderful King Viserys First ! Wise, smart, patriarch of a big family.. He was a great king

[@BMEdits12]

Incredible job, love the songs used and the pacing of the video. AMAZING!

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much for such words!

[@NejanSansar]

Viserys was the Ned Stark of HOTD.

[@user-ff6dl9zr7u]

He was better than Ned. Ned all the way was an idiot by medieval times. Viserys made some mistakes, but for most of the time he was a good king, following his uncle way to maintain peace and order for 30 years.

[@ballsballsballs3617]

@@user-ff6dl9zr7u I agree with u for a most part and I’m glad that someone else actually sees the reality of this, it doesn’t matter if he didn’t win a Great War he ruled the seven kingdoms in peace his entire reign and that is a great king. But Ned wasn’t really an idiot he was just too honorable that it came back to kill him but if he could go back in time he wouldn’t have done anything differently cuz the Starks r just built like that

[@KalashVodka175]

@@user-ff6dl9zr7u Ned wasn’t an idiot, this outlook on him is just bad imo. Ned above all was a GOOD man, someone who refused to participate in attrocities such as the killing of childrens or innocents. He wasn’t fond of conflict but didn’t shy away from it. The downfall of Ned wasn’t stupidity but mercy. He didn’t inform Cersei of his plot because he was incompetent or an idiot, he did so to save her and her childrens from Robert’s wrath once he was informed, he tried to keep everyone alive whilst reinstoring the truthful heir after Robert passed. He was a man of duty but above all of good will, his decisions were not made in ignorance of the possible consequences but despite those possible consequences. In my opinion his only real mistake was trusting littlefinger as a middle man.

[@Estaaaas]

Wow! This is absolutely stunning! Viserys character was awesome! And you did him justice.

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much!

[@PACKMANNNNNNNN]

Love your work

[@azrielimaginations]

Nice, I LOVE it. He's my favorite character there..

[@peachm4196]

Long live King Viserys !!!

[@518djp]

As an editor myself, this is incredible. Great editing and music choice. Quality of footage too! Any tips on getting great footage?

[@panosdks]

BEAUTIFUL

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much man!

[@valeria122]

Very touching 😢

[@filmfandom]

Incredible.

[@ballsballsballs3617]

The disrespect people have to call him a bad king. He ruled Westeros in peace something very few kings managed to do for an extended period of time let alone their entire time ruling

[@thelazyantwan6042]

awesome

[@AlanIntothem00n]

perfect

[@obi-wankenobi744]

A good man, but too naive as a king

[@bodiesatva]

By far my favourite character from the show.

[@user-ff6dl9zr7u]

I read the book and now I think he will stay my favorite character forever. Others will do some things I don't like in Dance of the dragons.

[@Blaklyon0]

Overall big V. was a good king. He just had issues with his family... I like him.

[@vvioletlawiieri1593]

💛💥

[@logancox6548]

Viserys I - Good King Viserys II - Great King Viserys III - Cart King

[@jackwoods6863]

Generous to even style him as III, viserys the brat prince. Beggar king who was a piss-stain on Aegon I's legacy.

[@thestanleys3657]

A good man but poor king. Great tribute for Viserys

[@glocksoup555]

pls do another god of war for the new release, maybe combine the two ?

[@jose-ze8dd]

The peaceful king

Nice video....Darth Vader sith Lord and green goblin insanity are STILL your bests

How do you post movie and show clips without getting copy right?

[@kenyattaharmon5056]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@InfamousB9]

Viserys best King of Westeros

[@rexilaurqiua8823]

It's too fast pacing man..give it a little more space so we could appreciate every moment of his reign, his majesty Viserys.

[@melieflynn-hayes7996]

His reign wasn’t so good but he was a very weak man and a good man and father.

[@ballsballsballs3617]

How was his reign weak😂u r probably one of the people that only think they have a strong reign if they win a war or something. Viserys ruled the seven kingdoms in peace his entire reign that is something very few kings have ever fone

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

Aegon needs one
