Daemon 🔄

[@gintokisan5171]

The subtitle on the lower part of the video was new, I tried turning it off thought it is the "CC" subtitle.

[@w.camera1204]

Daemon made such a colossal mistake by not trying to secure Vhagar as soon as Laena died. Should've had his dragonless daughter tried to bond way before Aemond and everyone else had a chance to. It was like letting the MVP of the league leave your football team in free agency without even making an offer lol. Incredibly boneheaded move on his part.

[@ZakM9]

Daemon. But I like this Aemond guy as well. The only thing that threw me off is this Aemond looks much older than his older brother Aegon in my opinion anyway. Originally it was young Rhaenyra, that girl had some spunk.

[@acemodean]

Lady rhea Royce is my favorite character so far. The rest can be eaten by dragons for all I care.

[@alaia-awakened]

Can we talk about Aemond's CASTING?? The actor playing him radiates total psychopath, even when he's not saying a single thing or just standing around in the background. I'm terrified and I'm obsessed.

If you've seen The Last Kingdom, he portrays a royal Christian bastard with the same gentleness that Jon Snow had in the first season of GoT. And to play this character is a complete 180. And he rocks it.

[@CandyAndromeda]

Ewan is perfect!

[@StarrySoakedSkiess]

I cannot stress enough how his casting could’ve been a DISASTER. Firstly, his character is extremely well written. Aemond is a super dynamic character which makes him difficult to portray. As an actor, your eyes are your most important tool. Any actor for this character is at a 50% disadvantage from the start. Ewan not only has the perfect villainous face, but he emotes through just one eye fabulously. Just watch how soft his face is when he looks at his mother vs when he looks at Lucerys. In the latest episode, you can see the emotion in his face when he learns of his fathers death. Amazing casting. Can’t imagine how many months it took!

Aemond and Daemon are so similar. The look, the attitude, both savage and badass. Although Aemond is more reckless probably because he’s younger. They surely make this whole show turn upside down, you can really feel their tension and chemistry on screen.

[@Harshitslaysss]

Daemon has matured a lot since his marriage with rhaenyra he even forgave his brother and love between them can be seen. Aemond on the other hand is far more cruel and there is no such bonding between him and aegon like daemon and viserys.

@@Harshitslaysss What are you talking about? Aemond always has Argon's back but the same could not be said about Viserys and Daemon. For example, Daemon celebrated the tragic death of Viserys' tragic wife and has since tormented him including luring Viserys' daughter to immoral places so as to stain her reputation by it. And he later abandoned him, leaving Westeros for Pentos. That show in the throne room was only because he needed Viserys to support his wife in those petition hearings. Also, what makes Aemond far more cruel compared to Daemon whose trademark so far has been killing innocent people without even allowing them to defend themselves in a fight?

Like everyone is saying already: there is a mirror-like quality to Aemond and Daemon’s rivalry. In many ways it must be like Daemon is looking at his own past reflection: a second son to a king, hot blooded and eager to prove himself better than everyone else at any cost. And maybe that isn’t a reflection Daemon liked looking at after he grew up, became a father and perhaps gained some wisdom to temper his emotions. I like to think that in being so set on killing Aemond, Daemon is trying to kill his past, and in some small way, make up for the mistakes or perceived failures of protecting his family.

It seems they've changed the dynamic between them a little bit in the series HOTD because it almost appears like Aemond and Daemon have some respect for each other so far despite not really directly interacting. No doubt that'll change. Like the scene where Daemon begeads Lord Vaemond, we see Aemonds face and its one of awe. Or when Aemond goads his nephews by calling them strong in his toast, you can see Daemond finds it mildly amusing. If not for the war the two would get along like a house on fire.

I'll tell you why he is important: the choice of face, the character's image, the so-far depiction of his boldness(in stealing the dragon), all smell of a much bigger share of future development. There are footprints of dramatic works you just cannot miss, and you don't need a degree or credit of a 1000 movies watching to know it.

[@SuperDBZz]

well he didn't steal the dragon, the dragon choose him or he would have been burn to death.

Facts: Daemon and Aemond are my faves in house of the dragon 🐉

[@joneskat4]

I really like the actor they have playing Aemond now. He looks a lot like Daemon (Matt Smith) which adds to the rivalry between them. Aemond is what everyone made him to be given how he was treated when he was young, but he is also, like was pointed out still "hot headed" like his uncle no matter how smart and cunning he is. He is one of my favorite characters and if they do end him and Daemon like the book it will be a good ending for both of them.

[@michaelnkomphela8231]

I agree. Funny how most fans said Aemond got his karma and Demon won. They both went out as warriors end of Story.

[@hpsunday]

I grinned when aemond sarcastically saying “strong nephews” he’s my favorite now 😂

[@0688223]

He's an idiot who doesn't live long. Daemon kills him.

[@johndarcangelo6893]

I hope that when his moment comes in the show, he doesn't just sit there looking terrified like in the books. I'd rather see him try to defend himself with his sword but be unable because he's still chained to his dragon, rather than just get stabbed with a scared look on his face.

[@JDO432]

Great HotD info. Looking forward to new videos!

[@Effingslackin]

They made Aemond look older than Aegon. Idk if that’s how it was supposed to be but the previous episode Aegon looked older than his own older self in the new episode

[@anjanlivetrades]

That's because the dragon that they ride has an influence on the rider. So vhagar is the reason Aemond is big and ruthless.

[@michaelnkomphela8231]

Ewan is 25 and Tom (Aegon ll) is 29.

[@javigar133]

Great casting choice, he steals every scene without even a Word. Great chemistry with Matt Smith, the other showstopper. This series is getting really interesting.

[@devianikaban2551]

Ewan is the casting in this series

[@ManasiJindal]

I keep looking for what's in the books and keep getting either monotone-ish narration or one with an overload of sound effects. This right here is what I was looking for! Glad to have discovered your channel👍

[@SuperDBZz]

Since Aemond's was a kid I rooted for him, I hated the way they pick on him. I had a feeling he would become a badass and when he did become a badass, I was like hell yeah that my boy. He is without a doubt my favorite HOTD/G.O.T character of all time. He lived his life like a legend and died a legendary death.

[@narendranathjagarlamudi3191]

this resembles how pride makes boy a real man!!

[@lucyvanlipton7433]

🐉🏰 The actor playing Aemond is giving me major Crispin Glover vibes. I hope Ewan continues to play Aemond for the rest of the show & they don’t age him

[@michaelnkomphela8231]

He dies at 20, so probably little aging.

[@The1theycallghost3030]

Loved the look of the blue sapphire for his eye!

[@alphaswain9588]

I believed that if Aemond had lived long enough, he would usurp his brother's thrones too, the man has ambition.

[@mentalgame5608]

Aemond! My favorite character…he is the main reason why I keep watching the show 😂

[@myinfoismyinfo9533]

Outstanding backstory that I was not aware of. Much appreciated!

[@mdmoniruzzaman7309]

The casting of aemond is done perfectly He looks mean and strong as hell

[@emilyvera8538]

Sadly he's in the wrong side of the battle but what a lad, a really inspiring character

You're willing to side with your family's killers and live with them in the same roof.

I like Aemond and Daemon - such hot-bloodedness, grit, wildness and boldness.

[@andinink6672]

Do you know that within the event of the dance of the dragons, Aemond is the one who sits on the throne the longest? (Aegon & Rhaenyra 6 months each, Aemond 1 year) He may be bold & unforgiving yet when he’s a prince reagent no one dare to challenge his reign. No one dare to touch King’s Landing (Rhaenyra only able to take over when Aemond’s gone) Yes he’s cruel to his enemy yet he protects his loved ones and his loyal ppl. Not even a bad omen.. somehow, it suits him to rule and the iron throne accepts him

[@CandyAndromeda]

He was the one... :(

[@garethmills8923]

So glad I stumbled upon this channel.

[@batgurrl]

Thanks as always for pointing out the subtleties. He’s interesting but frankly, the eye patch has a lot to do with ‘the look’. From what commentary is told in several channels, despite the presence of Martin, several things have changed from the book. Isn’t anything possible? I love the quip Kinslayer.

[@El_Villan0]

Thanks for the subtles!

[@agyflo286]

I'm loving Aemond! He's so badass and charismatic and the show made a great choice on choosing the right actor: the mad look of his left eye and his grin are just perfect! Although I'm a black supporter, I do love this characther and I wish to see more scenes like ep. 8!

[@jurassicthunder]

he is black too dummy

[@Bee4Reel]

Thank you for including captions!!

[@gennsui]

Aemon and daemon seems to be very similar to me, not opposites.

[@PrincessAndBear]

Yep dunno why he kept saying “opposites“ 🤨

[@shadow_realm47]

They're basically the same person on different sides of the family. Second son with an impressive dragon and warrior mentality. And Aemond is younger so he seeks conflict and is more hot headed. Daemon as an older man who has already expirienced conflict, will bite his tongue unless he's slighted first.

[@sharoncorseri1240]

Great review and love your accent !

[@Evzkii]

Man, the battle above the Gods eye is going to be insane… an episode 9 shock factor cliff hanger episode for sure going off what they used to do with Thrones. With 10 opening with Dark Sister in Aemonds skull 🤯 Wow wow wow! Thanks for the video 👍

[@altair769]

Deamon the "Aemond" Killer - Vaemond and Aemond know it well. But Aemond was basically his match or even his better.... .............. I stand corrected - Daemon was better than Aemond - hands down. The major reason Aemond was this much a problem was Vhagar.

[@wokeaf1337]

U will have to wait 4 seasons for that battle to happen.

[@isayahsnow2767]

@@altair769 Fighting and skill wise, Daemon was still more superior than Aemond due to age and overall experience. Daemon was notably a beast during this era. Aemond however was definitely on his way to becoming very much like Daemon, but he lacked some skill and the like that comes with experience. Both of them are very dope, but 1v1 without dragons, it's most likely Daemon would win as long as he doesn't get cocky (As seen with Cole).

[@altair769]

@@isayahsnow2767 True. My point - Aemond accomplished quite a lot for someone as inexperienced as he was in comparison to Daemon. Yes - this is all mainly thanks to Vhagar of course. If both of them had Dragons of the same size, Daemon would have outclassed the young blood. Still - Aemond deserves his flowers.

[@cameron6836]

Smashing video as always, And also agreed that Aemond is 100% the best character any other opinion is invalid in my eyes
