People Like "he Should Have Dealt With This Behind Closed Doors And Just Said This Directly To HBO And

I love evil men.

I’m listening to the Podcast that dropped with Ryan, and it’s laughable. Jesus.

“I’ve read Fire & Blood probably more times than any of the others, at least our section of the book at this point. I’m deeply seeped in it. I’m constantly immersed in this book.”

Are you Ryan? Cause it’s clear to me you’ve lost the plot of your own show entirely.

And Daemon is described in personality by George himself! Along with Alicent and Rhaenyra! It’s all there in black and white of who they are as characters!

“And rendering an adaptation that remains faithful to it and respectful to it.” 🤣🤣 That is such horseshit.

Oh no he fucking didn’t… Ryan talking about Rook’s Rest:

“Isn’t it more interesting if you have something kind of complicated happen in the midst of this crazy battle that’s very well documented in the book. And this is a great example of something that that is faithful to the page adaptation of the story.”

No the fuck it is not! He just said it was well documented but blazes past the fact that it was Rhaenys who gave Aegon those burns. The passage was very clear on that.

Does he not hear the bullshit coming out of his mouth?

“So we decided that making raising this army a struggle for him for somebody who is probably a much better warrior in general than he is a diplomat was an interesting thing to do.”

Translation: “Let’s forget that Daemon had leadership skills and was loved just as he was feared by the very people who followed him. And was also renowned for his swordsmanship.”

What have they done to you?! And what radical change happened exactly? Proving exactly the man he’s always been? Loyal to Rhaenyra’s claim. Not that much of a change…

And you can’t have a character go through radical change if you don’t give them depth. 🤣🤣

House of the Dragon Review

The Good:

- Aegon and Tom Glynn Carney. Aegon is the one compelling character this season, and his arc is great. He tries to be a good King but can’t protect his son. He tries to get Alicent’s love, but can’t no matter what. He tries to save his people but he gets destroyed in the process. He trusts his brother who betrays him. And Tom acts with his whole heart and soul. They’re truly the only good this season and the only reason I’ll keep watching

- Larys, Matthew Needham, and his relationship with Aegon. Just *chef’s kiss* The best relationship on the show. So much manipulation but genuine growing fondness too. Can’t wait to see Tom and Matthew inevitably do press for season 3 together and talk about the relationship in depth

- Ramin’s score. He is the only thing that’s consistent through GOT and HotD

The Meh:

- Rhys Ifans is a great Otto, but they criminally underutilized them

- Rook’s Rest was an amazing episode but they still had Rhaenyra be the hero by giving her a “divine” reason to go to war

- Episode 1 also was meh because Blood and Cheese being botched ruined what would otherwise be a great episode

- Ep 2 is similar to Ep 1. LOVED the Green scenes and the Twin scene, but they had Rhaenyra feel bad about what happened which is SO out of character. I also don’t like the propaganda angle they took with Blood and Cheese with Otto

- Aemond becoming his book self was great, but it was done rushed and sloppily. They underutilized both Aemond and Ewan

- Phia and Helaena are also great but again, criminally underutilized

- Olivia is a fantastic actress, despite what they did to Alicent

- The Dragon seeds being burnt by Vermithor would be in the Good if they didn’t try to brush it off and still claim Rhaenyra’s innocent

- Daenon and Alys scenes were either incredible or a total snooze fest. No inbetween. They were repetitive and not all the Daemon haunted scenes were necessary. Matt and Gayle are great though

- Criston and Fabien are underutilized, especially post Rook’s Rest

The Bad:

- What they did to Alicent. It is unforgivable. They threw her character away in favor of Rhaenyra. They can’t stand the thought that a woman doesn’t worship Rhaenyra

- Everything with Team Black. This is not hyperbole. The scenes were dull, designed to sanitize them so they are the Good guys and destroy them in the process. The actors, I’m sorry to say, are not on the level of the Green actors. Even the better Black actors (Emma and Steve) have stiff moments through the season

- Sexual humiliation and degradation of the Greens. This isn’t the place to get into it, but people have talked about it elsewhere

- Sanitizing Rhaenyra still, even after episode 7 and trying to make her a hero

- Sanitizing Viserys. The man raped Alicent and abused his children that weren’t Rhaenyra. Why are the Greens holding him in high regard?

Overall, I’d say a 5/10. All it took was the show having Black centered episodes to descend into GOT season 8 levels, since the Green episodes are SIGNIFICANTLY better

Ewan to the question: ''And when you said she can be the mom he always wanted her to be, what does that look like?'' has answered.

''I think one that just has love for him. That's how we beat Aemond, it's with love. We gotta give him a hug''

Crying, I knew it, Aemond just wants love, he's dying to be loved, my baby. And I add of my own making, his love language is touch.

They butchered them. They butchered them really bad.

Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen - House of the Dragon season 2 trailer

"what i love about aemond is that he has an ambiguity. he could be looking at someone thinking about how he wants to cook them a meal and take them on a date or he could be looking at someone thinking he wants to make them the meal and take vhagar [his dragon] on a date"

I really want to like HotD because I really like The Dance in F&B. But as the season went on, it became less of an adaptation of a story I remembered fondly and more of a prequel to a show I did not want to be reminded of. Please stop trying to mcu-ify the show and just tell a self-contained story. I absolutely do not care how this relates to characters who won't be alive for the next 200 years. Your plot and characters should matter and have stakes and motivations that are relevant NOW.

GRRM basically saying that Condal has no idea of what he is doing and that HOTD is heading for disaster if they don't abandon the changes planned for S3 and S4 was not necessarily on my 2024 bingo card 💀
