No, as a woman, I appreciate how much this show showcases the danger of child birth. It was tough to watch at first, but after a while, I feel empowered.

[@Aquilarden]

In the Middle Ages, about one in five married women died in childbirth. Showing what they showed was, I think, a great way to highlight the bravery it took for women to go through it.

[@jedi772]

Women truly are amazing

[@jewsco]

exactly many brave woman have died in childbirth and none of us would be here today without them taking the risk

[@SaiyanSerenityV]

whole heartedly agree - even today, childbirth can be incredibly risky. The cuts between the melee and Aemma fighting as they cut into her was an incredibly powerful piece of storytelling. It was very hard to watch the first time, but upon rewatch I am in love with how they shot it. It doesn't feel unnecessary in the slightest, quite the opposite.

[@sproductionsinc]

I love how all the men are just like, “Well done. Now get back in the kitchen.” lol

[@lovelyyecats]

Idk, all due respect, I was pretty disappointed by your reaction to the childbirth scene. It’s one of my favorite scenes. This show brutally demonstrates how little history has cared for women. The show isn’t “relishing” in the violence, it’s showing you the truth of childbirth and violence against women. And in an era where women have lost their fundamental right to an abortion, it’s extremely necessary for people to understand that truth.

[@DarthMahlgus]

Well said!

[@grumpyhaus]

Wait... you're critiquing them because they didn't react the way you wanted them to?

[@hectorminator]

I didn't think our reaction would have been interpreted that way, and I'm sorry about that. I don't think we believed that HBO was "relishing" in the violence we were seeing on screen, (but personally speaking, I also know HBO has had a history of emphasizing violence towards women gratuitously in shows like this, to the point where actresses had to speak out against it and it was lessened in later seasons, and I don't fully trust the producers of Game of Thrones to have women's best interests in mind when making shows like this.) But for this specific scene, I think we reacted very honestly to an incredibly violent and sad scene, that was made with the intention, I think, to make viewers uncomfortable. It was brutal, like you said. I agree that it's necessary for people (and men) to understand the truth of childbirth and the risks to women it poses, and I believe the three of us felt that, and I hope other men did too when the show came out last year.

[@Ftreptp]

Ppl arent always gonna make/vocalize deep reflections on a first viewing of a show while watching together it might hit harder upon a rewatch or in callbacks in future eps..

​@@hectorminator Hello Hector, just wanted to say I really appreciate you and the other lads, been a big fan of you guys ever since I was a teen in high school (24 now🥲). Even though I don't always agree with some of your takes (that's life), I respect and always love to see and hear your insights and thoughts on things no matter what you have to say, I am just happy you guys gave HotD a shot! Especially since I know the fanbase can be pretty cringe and gatekeepy/touchy about a lot of the aspects regarding the series.

[@gailf1617]

The next time any of you gentlemen disrespects fantasy languages, I hope you remember that Tolkien, before and while writing LOTR, was a Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University. He also did a translation of the Old English epic "Beowulf" that was published after his death, and yes, invented two fantasy languages in Lord of the Rings which were probably linguistically sound, though incomplete.

[@hectorminator]

And? Does this fact diminish how modern fantasy uses mostly white actors, American or British, to play mostly white characters in these movies or tv shows, while using invented language that sounds closer to nonwhite languages than modern English? Does your background fact of *one* writer mean that there is no truth in my observation? In my opinion? Next time you think I, or anyone that looks like me, "disrespects" fantasy language, I hope you remember who is mostly represented in this genre in film and television, and what you're doing to ensure that fantasy is as inclusive as it can be.

[@mitchmatt6002]

You surprised me in post-watch when you all said you'd been sucked into this world during this opening chapter, because I got the impression from the intro and throughout this reaction that you weren't that invested or interested tbh! Glad you're willing to continue giving it a go though!

[@blitzgirl6522]

I'm 10 minutes in and honestly it feels like they are using comedy to cope with how serious the show is. As long as they are willing to give all 10 episodes of season 1 a fair shot, that's all that matters. The show really hits its stride after the pilot.

[@mitchmatt6002]

@@blitzgirl6522 Maybe? But given they'd all decided the original series wasn't to their taste and they'd only watched the odd season, it seems a strange choice to expect any different from this spin-off, imo. But as you say, if they're willing to give HOTD a fair shot, I'll do the same with their reactions to it! And I agree that this first season was great!

[@queerlybelovdd]

[@mitchmatt6002]

@@queerlybelovdd I know that, I'm a regular viewer and their humour is why I'm subscribed. But their self-confessed lack of interest in GOT, coupled with the low-key cynical commentary, didn't give me the 'we're enjoying this' vibe they spoke of later, that's all. 🙂

[@shreyakar9220]

Few things to keep in mind: Spoilers (well almost): 1. Daemon loved his brother. He is mad because viserys pushed him away instead of otto. 2. The heart of the story is misogyny, how they cannot accept a woman ruler 3. There are some really good intersting lore you can checkout (David lighbringer, gray area, preston jacobs) if you are interested. I cannot wait for you to enjoy thus series. With love, Shreya

[@mori1bund]

It's kinda funny seeing how you think you have the show and its characters figured out. 🙂 Just a hint: in George RR Martin's world most characters are not just pure good or pure evil - they are more complex than that. :)

[@Velociraptour]

The great thing about people who haven't watched GoT reacting to HoTD is that they don't immediately compare Rhaenyra to Arya Stark.

[@Pookiesk]

[@ryanwinn8031]

Great reaction! Welcome to the world of GOT!

[@gailf1617]

The Game of Thrones TV series (and books) and House of the Dragon (and the book and story on which it is based) are a different sort of fantasy, far darker and more cynical, than Lord of the Rings (which is probably the classic "high fantasy"). I happen to prefer LOTR, but there is no denying that Mr. Martin is a good writer. I prefer the TV versions of his ASoIaF ("A Song of Ice and Fire", i.e. works set in Westeros and other places in that world) series, because the written works can be very dark and, frankly, the Game of Thrones novels (particularly those after the first three) needed a good editor. I enjoy the intrigue in HoTD, the way it blends royal succession drama with dragons as WMDs, and Mr. Martin's admitted use of a real life historical inspiration (the period in medieval English history called "The Anarchy", some 20 years of civil war between rival claimants to the crown of England and parts of France). On to your coverage of Episode 2!

[@tonyn1628]

@hector - you make excellent and very valid points, and yes, you will prob be not invested in the whole universe by the end of s1, but you come off as you have already made up your mind and not be open to just let the series takes you

[@edlyngaus8733]

Game of Thrones follows ALOT of different characters BUT HOTD sticks with THE 1 FAMILY that kicks off that world. If you could check out GOT lores it may help with what goes on in this world (like the tree with a face) I never thought I would like any of it 10 years ago and started actually into the 3rd season of GOT !!

Hi guys. I was remiss and didn't greet you in my first comment. I love your reactions. They're refreshing. "Gratuitous orgies" my freakin sides hurt Hector.

[@memorian8472]

As a long time viewer of these guys for YEARS, I think some of the comments are a little too overly serious about the guys reaction and HOTD/GOT is a little TOO precious for certain fans. In an overly serious way. I read some of the comments before watching the video and... you'd think that the guys were reacting differently than they usually do to shows. I didn't see anything wrong. If anything, I'd just say that HOTD is a maybe a strange show to watch people react too since it is a violent high-drama series, so you're either going to get a ton of silence or talking. Nothing wrong with the jokes they're making, you gotta be okay with people poking jokes at the things you like, especially if they're not as into it as you. You might even learn something from their perspectives as outsiders to the series.

[@memorian8472]

I feel like some of the people in the comments are.... You know when you show your best friend something you REALLY like? You're so excited for them to love it as much as you do? But you're also really anxious in the off chance that they won't? So your shoulders are really tense, and you're just braced for the negative outcome, but also ready to FIGHT if they don't see it as you do? I think that's what some people are doing in the comments, and you guys just need to unclench. Just chill. if you actually make it through to the end, you can see that they appreciated what they saw even if it isn't necessarily their cup of tea and it's fine for people to feel that way too.

[@christoperwallace6197]

So hes a normal person Frodo-heir to Bilbo, one of the most famous hobbits. Though i can see the argument hes normal Gandalf-an angelic wizard from heavan. Haedly normal Saurman-same deal Sauron-fallen archangel basically Grimma-k hes normal Of the major characters, only 2 or three are normal So yea your just wrong. Like lotr more, but it not about the common man at all.

Um, this is a stretch. I appreciate the effort in trying to prove me wrong, but you're wasting your time. Middle-earth is about normal denizens of that world ultimately being the most important heroes that cause the most change.

2 main points. 1st the smaller of the two. Noting the spots that made you guys uncomfortable, the brutality of the child birth scene and Rhaenyra being hit on when she looks like she's 14. Just you wait. 😮 The second being how neither of you could get into the first series. OMG! Hector! My man of story telling. I harken back to your MCU days of reviewing I think Wandavision or Loki season 1, "Story potentiality! Story potentiality." You guys called this first ep of House of the Dragon as just setting the stage for things to come. That is what the whole first season of Game Of Thrones is. It's setting the stage, setting the chess pieces in place to tell a grand of a story. Yes the final season is objectively terrible. Im in the minority when I say I liked the finale season. The story choices were perfectly fine, my gripe is that it was a shortened season and felt the events were rushed. It wasnt played out as organiclly as the rest. I think most peoples issues come down to so many different types of set ups and potential outcomes but there can only be one. Every season after 1 just gets exponentially better and better. The interwoven and connected stories is on another level. I promise all 3 of you, if you give Game Of Thrones an honest chance, you will enjoy it as much as you all enjoyed Andor. Youll see a familiar face or two as well. And I know how much you all liked Andor. The writing and acting in Andor make it the Game of Thrones of Star Wars. You'll learn to love and hate characters and towards the end you find yourself liking characters you initially hated in the first flew seasons. Such epic writing, acting and production.

The implication in the Alicent/Viserys scenes is that, while Viserys finds Alicent's words and company comforting, he does not make any attempt to seduce or rape her; he is not really ready to think about marrying again and he will never love another woman as much as he loved Aemma.

The real bummer is that you seem to have let online discourse sway whether or not you watch GOT. There's no denying that the last 2 seasons were not as up to snuff as the what came before but I find it a bigger bummer that people just dismiss the entire show now as "bad" just because they didn't land the plane the best.

Boys episode 2?

[@gailf1617]

Lord of the Rings is about the common folk? I do prefer LOTR, but most of the characters are gentry, nobility or royalty: all the hobbits but Sam are members of the finest, oldest, wealthiest families in the Shire (Pippin's family had originally been given the responsibility for governing the Shire in the name of the King, but it's lapsed to an informal, distanced sense of responsibility since there hasn't been a king in a thousand years at the start of LOTR). Sam and probably Gollum are the only commoners who are main or even supporting characters. Gandalf is a wizard who is actually an angelic emissary from the gods who are far away in Valinor, beyond Middle-earth (Saruman was one too, but he defected to Sauron) and has had a mortal form for about 1000 years (since he was sent by the Valar to Middle-earth to inspire and encourage the people of Middle-earth to rise against Sauron). Boromir and his brother Faramir are the sons of the hereditary ruler of Gondor, the largest and most influential kingdom in Western Middle-earth. Eomer and Eowyn are the nephew and niece of Theoden-king of Rohan, all three members of the royal House of Eorl. And of course there's Strider/Aragorn, who has the best human pedigree and claims the kingship of Gondor and Arnor in the end. Even Legolas is a king's son. Gimli is related to royalty, I believe, though he doesn't have a title. (Beregond, Bergil, and Ioreth were probably commoners, but they didn't appear in the LOTR movies, so you might not know who they are) Let's not get hung up on a character's class - characters of all classes can be good, bad, shades-of-grey (most of the HoTD characters), but hopefully all of them have some interesting features.

More episodes!

[@aboyinblue]

I really think u should see GOT first... just because there's a lot that it isn't explain in HOTD :v

[@jonathankaaukuu7357]

I'm just waiting for you guys to react to Logan, the Wolf. Can hardly wait.

[@Knightowl1980]

Wait ! You didn’t watch game of thrones !!!

[@HeroesReforged]

None of us have seen it

[@christoperwallace6197]

"this is the quietest we've ever been in a reaction" I call bs on that lmao. Y'all are constantly talking.

[@hectorminator]

You watched a twenty minute edit of an over-an-hour long episode of television. lmao.

[@mellowscorpio]

Appreciate the honest reaction!

[@leonardbrothers1012]

It’s dope that to you guys are doing HOTD now. I definitely think you should check out the OG show at some point tho. The last season was good. It definitely has its flaws, but it was still way better than most shows could ever do.

[@BobbyM817]

I know you guys recorded this a while ago and you’re just uploading it to capitalize on season 2 and to get views, but if you don’t like the show, don’t watch and react. Love the channel but you guys clearly aren’t into this and are just doing it for views.

[@HeroesReforged]

Hate to break it to you but literally everything we do is for views........ soooooooooo......

[@jermainesneed1002]

I like season 8. Idc what people say.

[@Blinkptx]

Same! I wish it hadn't been so rushed, but I still like it.

[@smokeem15]

Me too! Season 8 was one of my favorites. I was entertained and to me, that's all that mattered. People were over thinking everything that season. Lol

[@lisaeriksson1081]

this was a pleasent suprise

[@tschoppet]

I tried to watch this, because we love your reactions, but we had to turn this off. We get it, none of you are fans, so why even react to this? If I wanted to hear complaints, I would read the Star Wars comment section 😊 I think there's plenty of stuff you can react to that you would actually enjoy...

[@ATron-d8l]

I think the birthing scenes were the hardest part of the show for me to watch. It’s the only thing I skip on a rewatch.

[@lucianoaraujo9652]

Tem um filme fã Logan the Wolf com mais de dois milhões de visualizações, vocês vão reagir?

[@danielsummers2484]

Yeah, I think you made a bad decision. Never un-subscribed so fast.

[@HeroesReforged]

👋🏽

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

Something that pisses me off about (nearly all) people reacting to this episode, is that they respond to Baelon’s birth as if it’s presented as an “either/or” situation. At no point does the maester give any indication to Viserys that there’s a chance to save both, or whichever one he desires to. It’s presented as “we can try to save your child, or let them both die”.

[@pieceofdebri]

The final seasons of Game of Thrones was fine. Just wasn't as good as the first half of the show because it was more dragons and battles and less scheming. Still better than almost anything else on tv to this day. Worth the watch for sure.

[@Grumbo91]

Oh Hector you should watch S2 of Wheel of Time. It was a big jump up in quality from S1, and I enjoyed s1.

[@stevenhernandeznon-profitf968]

Agreed

[@EzraStrayer]

Just so you know... season 8 of GOT is hated universally. Seasons 1-4= excellent. Seasons 5-6=book fanfiction. Season 7=show fanfiction. Season 8=hot garbage.
