The Riots Of King's Landing (Dance Of The Dragons) Game Of Thrones History & Lore

[@WorldOfWesteros]

Apologies the video is about an hour and a half late, the export kept freezing randomly so i had to restart it a few times.

[@isaiahdaddys9379]

I love when the small folk make there presence felt

[@Destroyer120296]

They get shit on so much. Its nice to see them fight back and have enough

[@gooby214]

It's so satisfying when the poor smallfolk retaliate and let those spoiled entitled nobles know their wrath and vengeance.

[@Caramelo23606]

George is really subtle about it, and I love it. I also like that he insist on naming any one he can, that old hippie.

Rhaenyra could have ended the riots in minutes by flying Syrax over the crowd and spitting a couple bursts of dragon flames. She refused to fight for her kingdom.

[@arunsingla3452]

She was buisy making sure her sister’s death doesn’t get investigated

Tbh I can see a bit of future Daenerys in Rhaenyra. What if in Winds of Winter Daenerys conquers King’s Landing but the city rebels and she’s forced to use her dragon, that would make more sense then what we saw in the show.

[@WorldOfWesteros]

Defiantly would make more sense, I guess it depends how she captures the city in the first place and how she deals with Aegon. We know she doesn’t handle public disobedience very well

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

Dany would never do that she never kills innocent people that's literally part of her character and she isn't incompetent enough nor cruel enough for the people to rebel against her rhenerya and Daenerys are fundamentally different people , the riot happened half because of rheneryas own mistakes dany wouldn't let it get that far ( I know the tweet is a year old but I felt like replying anyway) plus d&d already admitted mad queen dany was there idea that made it up it wasn't planned.

[@stephenjenkins7971]

@@thatoneblackdude3333 She does kill innocents, she just justifies it by painting them as evil or as part of those who are evil. Like her order to kill everyone who doesn't wear a collar in Astapor over 12 years of age (what does she think happens to the children afterwards?) or the random killing of a bunch of Masters in Mereem some of whom opposed the random killing of slaves. If anyone argues that them profiting from slavery makes them guilty by default, then every highborn including Dany is just as guilty of that sin. Lastly, you don't need to be a mad person to order the mass deaths of peasants; you just need to feel justified and/or desperate enough. And I can see Dany feeling that way when she perceives that the peasants don't love her like the freemen do in Essos -they will only see a cruel foreigner.

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

@@stephenjenkins7971 no she doesn't, dany has not killed a single innocent person in the books , got gods sake why does everyone who. Brings that up lack the ability to read ? , she said anybody who wears a toker which is a symbol of the slave nobility nobody above 12 or below wears that only the slave masters so what happens to the children? Fucking nothing you idiot nobody in that sentence implies she's killing innocence you just can't read , there was no random killing yo I got that from the show , dany spacificly sought out the people responsible and there is no such thing as a master appose to slavery all of them are slavers and all of them support it so there are all guilty. Um no ? Dany doesn't own anybody as property all her subjects fallow her willingly and can leave whenever they want she literally encourages them to fallow there own dreams and desires , if you can see book dany doing that then you blatantly haven't read the books because that's complete bullshit I want you to show me proof of dany ever caring about how other people think about her or needing people to love her I want you to sight a page because I'm sick and tired of you people continuing to push this ridiculous narrative that has Apsolutely no basis and I want you to show me proof that shows me she would kill innocent people over it , there's literal no basis that westaros won't like her or persevere her as a " cruel foreigner" sinces she would be loved all across essos for ending slavery and was born in westaros she is hardly a foreigner.

Jahaerys never should have held that counsel. He gave viserys the idea that a woman could be named to the iron throne. He should have named viserys and been done with it. And I’m so glad he did. I’m waiting for the carnage, Fire and blood.

[@animejerk05]

Viserys would have still named rhenyrea even without the great council after aemma death. He would of still been incompetent at making sure his chosen heir had a peaceful accession

[@lemonadelemon1960]

@@animejerk05 no he wouldn’t have. It was not law that a male would ascend the throne. The great counsel made sure it was known that a female could have legitimate claim to the iron throne. Viserys did not break law when he named Rhanera because if he couldn’t name his only child who was female he’d have to name Daemon, his only male relative. Which did not happen. Even if rhanera was a boy he’d still have to re-marry. He’d need a heir and a spare. Two sons at most. As there was for him and his brother, and every noble house of Westeros. And as for aegon his eldest son, it was traditional that he be king as daughters cannot inherit but a princess or queen can take up her fathers seat if they have no brothers. Which rhanera did not when she was named heir.

I look forward to the Shepherds appearance in the next season of H.O.T.D. He sounds a hundred times more savage than the G.O.T.'s High Sparrow.

[@moegreene7940]

In my opinion, there should be a very established and solid actor play the shepherd. Kind of like the High Sparrow in the later seasons of GOT. He’s a monster character

He sounds way more rabid than the High Sparrow in Game of Thrones. I can hardly wait. Yet it's Helaena's suicide that triggers the peasant riots.

[@ericgurvitz9504]

While I doubt HOTD will actually have The Shepherd manifesting the warrior to kill Syrax: it would be both epic and fitting that the gods have finally acted to achieve their revenge for a century of blasphemy and pride from the fallen house of the dragon and sealing their fate for the next 150 years brought about by the small folk It would also break what little support Rhaenyra had with such a public sign of rejection and punishment, which would be a fitting way to flee in terror

This episode when it drops is going to be too good. The before and after episode too. Whoever came up with this strategy was brilliant it sound like check and mate for the green side. Let’s say Rhanerya catches aegon what then does the story different or stay the same??

I love your videos but would Love some that are longer. 10 minutes it’s enough lol

To be honest I do try and aim for 10 plus just they way the story gets broken up, there are natural end points for a video. At a minimum I aim for 8. In the new year I’m working on some longer form content 20 minutes plus with a reworked map and art. So keep an eye out
