What you missed there about the dragon egg that Daemon took was that it was the one Rhaenyra had picked out for her little baby brother to celebrate his birth. So it was a dragon egg specifically set aside for the next male heir to the throne. Daemon taking that egg is kind of a way of him staking his claim to the throne and saying that he should be the next heir. When Rhaenyra shows up and has the balls to face him down, he returns it to her without a fight because he admires the strength she is showing and how she is proving herself as a capable heir.

[@lydia6473]

The discomfort is real lol. Sorry for laughing at your innocence guys, but incest with royals was actually a thing in real life (where George RR Martin got his inspiration from). Just look up the lineage of the English royalty and you'll see many many many people related to their spouses.

[@jewsco]

the best example of this is the Hapsburg dynasty as the last one was horrifically disfigured by the inbreeding

[@gailf1617]

English royalty was not usually inclined to breed full siblings. Never, actually. First cousins, yes. (ancient Egypt had incestuous unions within the Pharoah's family for many generations, I believe)

[@penguin50279]

“everybody seems kinda shifty” welcome to GOT where almost every character is morally grey.

[@27poker]

what's really fun with these shows is to pick a chatacter and be ride or die no matter how awful they become team green btw

[@brad5794]

One thing to remember for you guys. HBO wanted to just begin with what ends up being episode 6 of this season. George RR Martin made sure the first 5 episodes with younger Alicent and Rhaenyra were included because it’s ESSENTIAL backstory to the coming war. I’m a massive fan of ASOIAF, but it was kind of a pick your poison situation when telling this story (the dance of the dragons) because, well….it’s history. Nothing exists in a vacuum! So you have to start somewhere and go through some slow/confusing parts. Especially when creating a show for a wider audience, particularly for newcomers like yourselves. I hope that in the future, the ASOIAF universe gets more projects to flesh out this universe, that way non-book audiences can have a better grasp for the context of everything. Much like how it’s fairly easy to understand the timeline of things in Star Wars since there’s various shows in different eras that interconnect in their own unique way. I think the right show in this world for you guys would be The Hedge Knight show, which is coming out in the near future. Much lower stakes, more quirks/humor, and slow pace.

[@Cream-2128]

Umm I mean the show literally changes the background of the characters. Alicent is supposed to be older than Rhaenrya

[@Samilion101]

its really intresting to watch a reaction by these guys who werent invested in this world at all. They clearly arent fans of this type of lore and world building but the fact that they are giving it a try and having fun while watching it is so refreshing to see.

[@hordeofswords]

House of the Dragon is part of British Equity, which is a completely different union than SAG/WGA. They were not part of the strike and the production was not impacted by it. Scripts were complete almost a year prior to filming and had gone through most necessary revisions before the strike started. Since the show fell outside of SAG/WGA jurisdiction, any actor who was also SAG was given special dispensation to continue filming the project. Also both of the showrunners were on set in a production capacity and while they couldn't make suggestions while on set, they could have easily taken notes and went back after the fact. Production for season 2 ended in September and there is plenty of time between then to have fixed things with reshoots and in post if need be.

[@shortdrink873]

I suspect it will still suffer from the strike though - watching bts from S1 made it clear a LOT of writing work happened on set. With the strike happening there would have been a lot less room to improvise solutions or new dialogue ideas if something wasn’t working great.

[@marksafe5463]

I personally don’t mind yall being silly. This show is crazy 😂

[@ILoveManCity.]

I feel like this is your first ADULT show guys, like you are too used to Disney+ and Netflix lol. The world on this show may have Dragons, but its closer to medieval (real) history than any other famous franchise, and by that i mean the power struggles, the sex between family members to preserve a "pure" line, politics, and strategies.

[@HeroesReforged]

Come over to Patreon and watch every season of The Boys with us and see if you feel the same. You won't though 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ILoveManCity.]

@HeroesReforged The Boys is amazing but not even close in plot or seriousness to George R. R. Martin's work, there's a reason why Game of Thrones revolutionized the television industry, it also started the KZbin reaction channels trend because certain episode (a spoiler i won'tspeak of), its also the reason why after GoT we have streaming services, why there's so many shows... after season 4 everything at Hollywood became a Game of Thrones-wannabe. I'm not even much of a fan of the show, I'm a fan of the books.

However, if the reaction is just them shitting on it and making jokes the whole time, then obviously people will be disappointed and upset. Especially since it's a show most of us greatly enjoyed.

[@OrangeTestament]

In case no one else covers this topic, in GoT/HotD the Targaryens are known for marrying within their family to keep the bloodline pure (as families did in medieval times way back when), but other houses in this world tend not to be overly fond of that method lol.

[@linamayela]

No one was marrying for purity in medieval era. They married for political reasons the inbreeding was just consequences of trying to maintain political ties.

[@francisco_m7849]

😮 the saddest part for me during the whole series was how the king was slowly dying from infection from the actual physical throne itself from all the little tiny cuts and infections that it was giving him

[@MrBrock314]

Wasn't just royalty. Marrying at 14 to a 30 year old was commonplace even among the peasantry, especially if it meant increasing your station. My grandma was 17 or so when she married my 30 year old grandpa. He was considered well-established and a good match. If you consider women were largely intended to be stay-at-home moms for a lot of history - that often began as soon as you could be a mom.

[@hectorminator]

@@MrBrock314 Next time you drop this well-known fact about our society and history, it would help if you would add an "and it was gross".

[@gailf1617]

Viserys should have agreed to marry little Laena on condition that the marriage would take place when she was 15 and not before. But I can understand why he chose Alicent - (A) he didn't want anyone else pushing a little girl-bride at him, (B) Viserys likes Alicent, he feels emotionally comfortable with her, he can talk to her, and he thinks she likes him, and perhaps he is somewhat attracted to her although he does not love her; at least she could ease his loneliness (B) Alicent is at least physically mature enough to have a good shot at surviving a pregnancy and delivering a healthy baby. But Viserys doesn't realize how grasping Otto is, and the potential consequences for Rhaenyra if Alicent delivers living sons, not to mention how hurt and angry Rhaenyra will be at his duplicity in not telling her about those "conversations" with Alicent.

Everyone in this comment section needs to take a chill pill. I’ve watched the show a bunch of times and read the books, so I’m not exactly a casual viewer, but I can enjoy the jokes being made here. Did they miss stuff? Sure, but so many people do. Not everyone is a super informed viewer. In fact, these guys are probably representative of the average viewer of the is show.

@@queerlybelovdd The answer to critique isn't to say 'piss off' - it's to take the critique for what it is. It means people are invested in these reactions and the crew would get increased support by putting in a LITTLE more effort to learn the lore and try to catch the important details. In other words, there's a way to increase engagement with the reactions and make the crew more money which is the goal of a reaction channel. Do you not want them to make money doing their jobs? Telling people to not watch is telling Heroes Reforged to lose money. That's not being a good channel supporter. The people critiquing aren't saying they don't like Heroes Reforged nor are they saying they don't like HotD - they like both and want the crew of Heroes Reforged to put in the time/respect such a good show deserves and I'm sure they're confident it will pay off for Heroes Reforged since it is a good show - they'll like it even more and so will more of their audience. It's a win-win.

Hi guys. My sides continue to hurt, iyyyy Hector. I get royals and the incest, but it's crazy rampant in both series.

[@christianedwards6364]

Is there racism in this world of course. The dornish, wildlings, mountain clans etc. But the velaryons arent it. They are blood of old valeryia and have married into the targayens many times. U literally see an example of that. If anything they would be looked at as better then most houses. There isnt 1 comment about their race that isnt positive. The friction comes from jockeying for power between corlys and otto. Corlys is ambitious and daemon is checking that. Yes daemon has issues with viserys but will not stand for traitous talk. Also keep in mind the political situation. Daemon married a girl he did not want in order to help his brother become king. The council that made him king passed over a daughter for a male heir. So based on that he is heir. Lastly viserys has no dragon and rhaeneryas dragon hatched when she was young and not big enough to fight until recently. Daemons dragon was the only thing gaurding his throne from corlys and rhenys. So yea daemon might be entitled but hes done more for his brother then anyone and is rightfully pissed about not being a trusted councilor. Otto creating a wedge between the brother severly weakens viserys.

As all I’m saying is that based upon all of you guy’s comments and reactions to the things happening in this story so far honestly (especially Hector…actually oddly enough it seems as if of the 3 of you all…Adam seems to be the only one who I can feasibly see continuing with these reactions, IF I had to pick I mean😉) tho maybe I’m completely wrong and just not reading you all correctly?🤨🤷‍♀️I’m just trying to be as realistic, honest and straightforward as is possible imo….tho, as I said before; as uncomfortable and awkward and slightly frustrating as it is to see what seems to be happening (certain scenes *appear* to be being spoken over &/or misunderstood as you all are seemingly talking over some of what I’d consider to be quite important info &/or character/world building moments) I will still be watching these reactions regardless as…like I said prior, I freaking love you guys! 😉👍 All I’m trying to get at here is that it really and truly is 100% ok and understandable (even if slightly sad that we’re not on the same page here, which is very rarely the case in tastes of media) if 1 or 2 or all of you guys just aren’t feeling it…don’t put yourselves thru “reactions” if you aren’t enjoying them my dudes! Just saying 😅 love y’all!

[@sandrakiefler4649]

Also…just a bit of advice here, because my attention span can often be rather faulty and I think it’s a similar thing to be watching a show with 2 other people who are talking amongst themselves on occasion(totally understandable btw…it’s a “reaction” so if y’all were silently sitting there…it wouldn’t be much of a “reaction” now would it 🤷‍♀️😅) what I find immensely helpful is that after I watch an episode…I then go watch either a “recap or breakdown” of that episode as I very often find that I have either missed or misunderstood something that happened in the episode…so maybe that can help you guys out aswell?

Well, GRRM borrowed much for this story and GoT from medieval Europe and the ancient Near East. In those societies, sibling (mostly within royals in the ancient Near East) or cousin marriages m occurred among elites. It wasn’t something that regular folks approved of, but the high elites did it anyway. Even in fairly recent European history, marriages among cousins was a thing. Also, it was fairly common, especially among elites for political purposes, to wed ridiculously young girls to older powerful men. Again, it wasn’t necessarily popular among common folk, but the elites did for politics. Just wanted to note that GRRM didn’t make these things up. They occurred during those periods.
