It's insane the difference in production between wigs of power and House of the dragon. Wigs of power has more money and yet it feels cheap whereas House of the dragon is movie quality. I can't wait to watch this season

[@draxrdax7321]

There are experienced talented people working on House of the Dragon, including the author of the novel. On Wigs of Power there's woke DEI lunatics with no experience (and probably many small companies they own having contracts with Amazon Studios to leech as much money as possible), including the head of Amazon Studios, Jennifer Salke that has a self insert shoved into the show as the main character, because narcissism can't be tamed.

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

Velaryon, not Blackfyre - they're a few decades off - I do understand the mix-up, though- the first Blackfyre is named Daemon... Gods' Eye isn't happening yet

[@keynanvarnado7592]

Doesn't help that one of the Targs ancestral valyrian steel swords is also called Blackfyre lol. George doesn't make it easy to follow for sure.

​@@keynanvarnado7592 what do you mean? House blackfire got its name from the sword😅

[@keynanvarnado7592]

@keifahdefreitas1321 I know, I'm just noting how much George reuses names which is realistic for the medeival time period he uses as inspiration but it can easily create confusion for the reader/viewer. Even a sicko hardcore fanboy can get various Targs confused easily.

[@xybaby05]

@blackfyre/ velaryon. I actually think it was a racist dig..... He does it again @15:20 gerult of Syria. I enjoy Shad, but racist digs should not be acceptable on his channel. So what Steve Toussant is black and not white, get over it.

When i watched the trailer and saw Daemon in full clad armor riding Caraxes was wondering "what would Shad think about this?". Glad he's reacting to it, not only to Rings of Bezos...

[@demolition3612]

Rings of bezos xD

[@babilon6097]

"I see aged castles" -Shad

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Oz, the house that got black washed is House Velaryon, not Blackfyre. Blackfyre’s a cadet branch of House Targaryen between the events of HOTD and GOT.

[@schemeteam2954]

Yup and that's where the birth of Blood Raven is.

[@Badvibesdude]

Not really a cadet branch. Aegon the Fourth legitimized all his "great bastards" (bastards he had with noble or royal women) on his death bed. Daemon Waters' mother was Targaryen, too, and Aegon the Fourth had already given him the sword Blackfyre as a sign of his favor. After being legitimized, he took Blackfyre as his house name.

[@BucketheadChuck]

It's not the battle above the God's Eye, it's the Battle of Rook's Rest. We'll get the God's Eye in season 3 most likely

[@Will_Parker]

So HotD is gonna have it's finale about the same time that rop gets released lmao Amazon in shambles

[@zekeolopwi6642]

1. Velaryon. Not Blackfyre. 2. Can't be the Battle above the Gods Eye. That would eliminate two central figure way too early in the conflict. 3. Those first castles are probably in the Dornish Marches. Since they seems to be mountainous bordering some sort of steppe/desert

[@jacksonperez5615]

Oz has the lore all kinds of backwords

[@Blinkptx]

I don't see Otto as the Littlefinger or any character as the HotD version of a GoT character. I see them all as their own unique characters.

[@frankvandorp9732]

It's great to have that feeling to look forward to a show for once. It might have been years since the last time I felt this.

[@JustTooDamnHonest]

The dance will began and the war between the Blacks and Greens are going to show us why both sides were never meant to rule Westeros. Also to Oz the one you are referring to is is named Aemond Targaryen also known as One-Eye and Matt Smith's character is named Daemon Targaryen(brother of the former king and uncle/husband to Rhaenyra).

[@kaludgo5811]

It's funny because I felt like they were meant to rule but together not one over the other. I can see strength in both factions.

[@JustTooDamnHonest]

@@kaludgo5811 Nope for their flaws overshadows their strength for is their hunger for power, superiority complexes due to them having dragons and the incest DNA that slowly consumes several members with each generation and not to mention what happened to Luke in the finale of season 1. No for the Dance of the Dragons Civil War will be a turning point for House Targrayen and not in a good way and it is all due to the accursed Iron Throne. Ruling together was never on the cards for them.

[@walkir2662]

Matt Damon Targaryen returns indeed.

[@borderlandish1140]

Def not the battle by the gods eye . Thats way later. Probaly wont happen until season 4. Its more likely its rooks rest battle. With the queen that never was and the king and his brother.

[@omarmedina3893]

[@Austin123.]

Shad talking about the Hedge Knight, wonder if he knows that they're making a tv show from it now as well. But I am so hyped for this season. Sadly, it'll be 8 episodes instead of 10 for this season. This time though, we will get S3 next year likely. Due to the fact now they know they're able to produce the whole 4 seasons they asked for. That's one thing I like about this show instead of GoTs is that there is an end goal. They know the ending and what things need to be shown/added to the series. Feel like GoT may in the future be remade, just in animation I feel.

[@MatthewLoom]

Blackfire is not a House. It's a name. The house that was race changed is Valeryon.

[@Alex-bz8lj]

[@frankvandorp9732]

Oz is probably wrong, the battle above the God's Eye happens later in the war, they're not going to get there this season. It will be season 3 or maybe even 4.

RoP couldn't even get the growing tree root right. It looked so fake. And yet I'm entirely convinced that a huge dragon actually exists in HotD.

That's the thing, Damon could have married his niece for the title, her line could then carry on the successor-ship while his line would be the realms protector until enough generations passed where the two lines could unify.

I know we are talking about House of the Dragon...but did we ever get a take on the Inheritance novels? Disney getting the rights to make an Eragon TV show, how bad the movie was, and the Murtagh novel that came out last year. Christopher Paolini appears to have big plans for his world he created. I always thought these books were like what you get if you mixed Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and How to train your Dragon all together.

[@octav1600]

The Sea Snake's house is House Velaryon (not Blackfire) - and they are alive and well in game of thrones (they even appeared once or twice on screen as random guys if I remember right - they are under Stannis). What issue I have with them being black (they could have married out their race in 200 ish years I thinkand become so white they aren similar enough to the Dornish? ) is the fact that a racist society like Westeros accepted them when they still had issues, 200 years later in GOT with the Dornish that were mediteranean -ish. As opposed to Essos , Westeros is a tad more traditional and conservative ... and medieval - while this doesn't mean there couldn't have been diferent color people in Westeros, it is unlikely they would be able to do anything and keep their status (maybe that's why they are a small and irrelevant house in GOT ) due to the other lords being biased and racist - it's a real scandal later in the very books that house of the dragon is based on when a person from Essos, can't remember exactly what nationality they were, but white they were not, takes up a very important council position - maybe even hand of the king / queen ? ... so that is my issue with this. I do like half the actors they chose, especially the Sea Snake, it's just not a good representation for that world. and makes awkward timeline inconsistencies.

[@emmanueladedeji3335]

Wait what? lmao, Westeros was literally conquered and unified ("Seven Kingdoms") by a foreign entity (Valyrians, more specifically Targeryens but they had help from houses Velaryons and Celitgar). The Targeryens, as Kings of Westeros we're accepted and integrated into the society, keeping Andal traditions and imposing some of their own like their ability to marry siblings. Also, like the Targeryens, the Velaryons are not native to Westeros... how can their presence "not be a good representation for that world"? You do realise the Roman empire as an example, also encompassed Northern Africa? St. Moses Black, St. Athansius, St. Augustine and countless, we're Africans (not native to Europe) LONG prior to the medieval period (pre-400ad) that had cultural impact and within Europe and are still venerated today lol. You're imposing a rather modern liberal perspective of history on the show, as opposed to an actual historical take. Dourne is also quite literally part of Westeros...meaning Westeros isn't racially a monolith - theres no debating that. Culture is far more important than race interms of prejudice, you see examples of this within the show where people from the North are portrayed and seen as savages by others further down in places like the Westerlands/Crownlands. Dourne wasn't hated for their race, they we're hated for refusing to acquiesce to Targeryen rule when forming Kingdom which led to all the Dornish wars; As well as their style of fighting (Guerilla warfare), was seen as disingenuous/lacking honour.

[@levilevi9621]

When Shad says the demographic shift enhanced the story he’s right. It made it super obvious that those were not Laenor’s kids and extra awkward for Rhaenyra. Oz appears to have some bias against the show for some reason which is apparent considering he doesn’t even know the lore. The Velaryons came from the eastern continent where there are dark skinned people. No reason they would need to still be around Westeros considering what happens to them in the dance.

[@rudzanimunyai2090]

Yes, OZ sounded a little bit racist. I mean it’s fiction at the end of the day. If he has issues with black people he will struggle to enjoy this fantasy TV show. More black characters will take centre stage this upcoming season. Daemon’s daughters (Baela & Rhaena) Corlys Bastard sons (Adam and Alyn)!!

Im not sure but i think there might be some scenes deleted or changed for the physical release of season 1? I just finished watching it and some things didn't add up. Ive watched a full review for each episode and sometimes it seems like scenes were talked about that i definitely didn't see on my blu-ray copy. I really thought the show was ok but some of them missing scenes really changed my view on certain characters. Would never have known if i didn't watch the reviews. That seems pretty shady.
