Probably a correction for the video here! Again I apologize that I'm terrible at identifying dragons! --> According to WinterIsComing Net Melys does NOT appear in either trailer! According to them - the dragons are: Syrax, Vhagar, Sunfyre, Seasmoke, Moondancer, and Caraxes. Source: winteriscoming.net/posts/all-6-dragons-in-the-new-house-of-the-dragon-trailers-01hskv8wwqnx

"Choose a side" is such a good marketing tactic to hype up the show. Really showing what both sides of war are capable of doing. And I think that's the message GRRM has for this story. In the end, nobody won, and that relates to wars we see today. A lot to unpack but I'm excited.

[@b4thedragonpod]

Excellent point!

[@NightWolfNym]

That’s definitely Harrenhal and the Gods Eye. I hope we get to see that up close! Would be a shame to tease it but not visit. I’m team bring back the map intro foremost🥹but also Team Black / Rhaenyra 😝

[@b4thedragonpod]

Unfortunately I'm worried as far as the intro goes - we're stuck at Team "Not gonna happen" - BUT if they can just make the sigils READABLE - I guess I can let it slide. LOL

@@b4thedragonpod i can respect their vision but it's kinda confusing trying to read it .. and I don't have the eagle eye for details as some of the fandom

[@seda6968]

14:59 Otto is complaining about Aegon/Aemond/Criston in that scene, not the Blacks. This is him packing after being fired as hand talking about their motivation after B&C has happend, all out vengence now, not whats best for the realm.

[@b4thedragonpod]

Ah! I didn't read it that way! And when he said that part - he did have his chains on. Granted the pin may or may not be there - but he's wearing the same chains as in other shots. :) (Image with the caption: drive.google.com/file/d/10YRz0WWljB2KEok8yRFtWNUncbIwluEo/view?usp=sharing )

[@seda6968]

@@b4thedragonpod Yeah it's just missleading editing for the trailer sake to think he ment the blacks, a common thing. Theres a still-picture from that scene where you see he has packed all his stuff, ready to leave.

[@b4thedragonpod]

AH! Good catch (I missed that I guess)! Thanks for the correction! :) @@seda6968

Why do you dislike calling teams black and green?

[@b4thedragonpod]

Sorry - I probably should've explained that! LOL I disliked it because the way the factions got their names (all wearing black and green clothing at an earlier event) was never depicted in the show. They did have a scene of Alicient just deciding to wear a green dress to a dinner - but if you weren't a book reader you may not have gotten the reference, and it was never established until this marketing. They did use episode titles in the last two eps of Season 1, but they still didn't explain WHY.

[@ty-zz9ic]

@@b4thedragonpod Thanks for replying! I totally have the same feelings! It’s nice to know other people have the same opinions. I wish we could have seen that iconic scene in the series. Not only would it have been a super cool opportunity for an awesome moment full of symbolism but it would’ve added so much context. Also I have to say I absolutely loved the video! I’m really glad I came across this channel!

Thanks so much for checking the videos out! @@ty-zz9ic
