So, Targaryens being wrapped in Incest is said to have some madness to them. Aerys' madness went into overdrive after he was imprisoned in Duskendale. It is believed that he was imprisoned in a dark cell and tortured. Selmy was the one to free him. After that, he trusted no one except his Kingsguard. No one could carry blades in his presence. He saw treachery everywhere. Duskendale was the rich and thriving coastal city before Aegon's arrival in Kings Landing. As Kings Landing prospered, Duskendale slowly suffered for centuries, and they could no longer afford the taxes levied by the crown. So, they finally rebelled (against Aerys). He was "invited" to Duskendale to talk about the taxes. He went against Tywin's instructions (things had gone soured between the two already). When he arrived, they killed his retinue and ransomed him. Tywin took his bloody time getting Aerys back (🤣)... Finally, Selmy (the Bold, this is where he got the name) asked if he can go on a one man mission to rescue his king. He scaled the walls in darkness and freed Aerys, but the already Eccentric King started to earn his misnomer after that rescue, the Mad King.

This is a lie tho every family does incest lol they literally marry cousins i mean it’s not the same obviously it still incest and there are plenty of people in other houses that are just as crazy if not more tbh you can count on your hand how many mad Targaryens there was lol the math don’t match up also why you spoiling what’s explained in future lore vids?

Should have watched the dance of dragons, at least up to the part it catches up to the first season of HOD, since it is different than the show.

Nah, there was a couple of spoilers before that point as well. The Spoilers that were mentioned before Aemond vs Lucerys: they said that Aegon ii would have a short reign. It was also mentioned there was only 2 dragons left after the dance. I decided to watch it until the season 1 finale but was upset because they said those two things... not so much as the dragons dying because anyone who seen GOT knows they'll die sooner or later. But inwas speically upset about the Aegon ii Spoiler

37:40 a LOT of things made aerys go mad but the main point was the defiance of Dunksandale

Essos is so fucking interesting man... I hope some of these spinoffs focus on Essos more centrally.

Guys, you should definitely react to The Walking Dead in the channel, would love to see it after you finish your other series! Or also Vikings, both are great! And this one has similar vibes to GOT

I love the walking dead. It’s one of the best series I’ve ever watched. And I am on my 4th rewatch of the main series. I’ve rewatched GOT 3 times.
