His stuff is so good. How the sound evolved simply over the course of the show was phenomenal and powerful. His Westworld scores are unbelievable. I can't wait to see what comes next with HOTD.
Someone posted something a ways back about why HBO is so much better about this. And it boils down to the fact that HBO has assets, TONS of them. HBO/Warner has warehouses full of objects and props and costumes that can be used to set a scene. Amazon and Netflix, being so new, have nothing. So HBO is able to do this and spend money on the shows where it matters, whereas the other streamers are spending the same amount of money without that starting point, so they have to sacrifice in places like special effects (yeah, I’m looking at you, The Witcher).
As a Wheel of Time fan... I'm ok with throwing shade at Amazon. What they did was truly remarkable, it's like they were trying to make the least faithful adaptation possible.
Lighting too. They're not afraid to make it moody and grimy. Amazon and Netflix sets always looks so shiny and brightly-lit. It feels so... clean. It's unnerving.
Warner Brothers has resources available that Amazon doesn’t have. They own soundstages, and warehouses of costumes and props. Many times Netflix and Amazon have to rent or contract these things which adds to the budget. It’s why HBO shows look better.
If nothing else this show will be visually stunning. It’s easy to forget how incredible GOT seasons 6 and on looked, despite the questionable writing. I’m really excited tbh
The glimpses of the dragon riding look amazing, looks like they've managed to improve on the effects from GOT. Really hope they do the sheer size of Vhagar justice, as well as just how colourful the dragons are, especially Sunfyre.
So much of the dialogue needing to be made up is probably my biggest concern, but if they're willing to pump in the cgi cash for all the dragons, it'll still be at least a little fun
Keep in mind George is involved with this series and has likely read the scripts and made suggestions/critique where needed. He has said he enjoys the pre production episodes he has seen so it gives me hope.
Really is. Rhaenys was the probably most qualified of all the members in the council was yet passed simply because she is a woman, and (at the time of the series) history repeats itself but now bloodier.
I’ve been saying I’m not going to watch this because HBO is just going to destroy more of the stories I love, but I just wanted everyone is this community to know that I’m a filthy liar and will be back watching every episode upon their release.
I am 100% certain you’re not alone, because I’ve just gone from “ambivalent at best” to “yo I’m fucking HYPE” in the span of 2 minutes. I’m ready to be hurt again.
Everyone who claimed they won't watch anymore ASOIAF stuff will be watching this. If people in here say they aren't watching this, they're fucking lying.
At the beggining of the year I was way more excited for the LOTR show. After seeing both trailers, it’s completely flipped. This looks just leagues better, like an actually lived in environment, not a computer game. I’m sure even if writing will be subpar, this will be at least really fun to watch. I’m excited.
I really enjoyed Fire and Blood, it was interesting. I had just finished reading the series and wanted more, and it gave me that. It was an interesting take too, instead of just a story it was this weird fake history book. I might have to read it again before August.
No idea if it's my computer, my connection, or whatever, but the trailer did not look like 1080p, and I was watching on the official HBO Max Youtube channel.
I don't think that is Caraxes. It looks completely black to me. The only black dragon alive during this story is The Cannibal. Maybe it is just lighting.
Who knows how they'll do on story, but I agree that the feel of this trailer was way better than what we've seen from Wheel of Time and the trailer for the new LOTR show. Those both felt very generic fantasy, but this clearly feels like a return to a real world we know well.
Could be good, I’ll give it a watch if the reviews are positive. Judging only from the trailer though it seems as if they’re keeping the darker look of the later seasons of GOT which I am a bit disappointed by. I loved the colorful outfits and scenes of the earlier seasons. It was visually pleasing and a nice contrast with the darker themes.
Cool costumes and CGI but good lord, what's going on with the lightning? They got into that "natural light" bs since S7 and honestly it doesn't even look natural. Color grading is super washed out.
Was that Laenor's coffin they were dropping into the sea? I'm really curious how they're going to cover so much ground from Rhaenyra being a child to her marriage to Daemon in one season.
I can’t help but feel really excited about this. I just finished my first read through of the main series so I still have a ton of fresh excitement for ASOIAF. I haven’t touched F&B yet so this story and characters are entirely new to me.
I know this sub is super anti tv show after GoT, but the first few seasons were great TV, and if they can capture that then I will fall in love once again. HOTD may revive my love of ASOiAF
The biggest thing for myself are the details. Can HBO notice the details? Details made the first four seasons of GOT amazing. Lack of details is what made the last four suffer. Being absolutely blind to details is what made the last season abysmal.
i so agree! The last seasons was only about the main big characters, not about the things that made the world rich, like side characters and side dialogue and the types of outfits (they only wear BIG BAD BATTLE DRESSES and ARMOR in the end)
Continuity with GoT. They've changed some things, like the Iron Throne looking like a halfway house between the show version and George's version, but only where they can explain why it looks different.
Maybe they didn’t want to make it too different so that the castle doesn’t suddenly entirely change after Robert’s rebellion. I hope that’s not the case though, because that’d mean that any glimpses we get of Highgarden or Casterly Rock would be those lame show versions.
Looks OK. I'm so starved of ASOIAF content that I'll be watching though I know what will happen already. Who is the guy on Corlys's left in the shot with the whole Velaryon family? Like they're going to see the king so he's gotta be a trueborn son right? Is Addam not a bastard in this show?
Maybe it could be one of the Silent Five? (The Velaryons who got their tongues removed for calling Rhaenyra’s kids bastards, and later tried to steal Driftmark from Alyn.) Or it could be one of Corlys’ brothers.
I'm optimistic, but once again, very disappointed by the armor designs... They are beautiful, to be sure, but I really, really hate the whole "mass-produced, homogeneous design" approach that's become so common in cinematic fantasy.
I'm mildly excited. Lots of that trailer looked great. Sets, costumes acting look great. Gold Cloaks and Matt Smith I'm not sold on yet but we shall see. "Men would sooner put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend the iron throne." got me pretty excited for some throne politics
I get people hated the end of the original, and i get how frustrating it is waiting for the next book(s), but damn does this look good. I was worried it would look low budget, or feel like a knock off of the original, but seeing this got me hyped up. I hope without having show leaders who don't actually care will produce seasons as rich and enthralling as the original few seasons of the original were.
It really looks like it dialled up version of the best parts of GoT, hopefully the music delivers, the sets and costumes look even more accurate. SO excited for the Velaryons. Matt smith might actually pull off his character. Its going to be intense for sure. Do we have an episode count or are we back to the 10 episode formula?
i wasn't gonna watch this, but maybe i will after all. D&D are gone, so it won't face the same problems as GoT. little worried about the showrunner. never heard of him, and his previous show wasn't critically acclaimed or very popular. i think networks often put competent but unproven directors in charge of series when that show is gonna be a network-run, focus-tested piece of... blandness. but maybe GRRM is getting final say? the 4 seasons of GoT he helped with were so good...
Meh. Looks ok. Kinda feels pointless to watch a prequel knowing what happens in the future if the world. They ruined a legacy and grasping at straws isn’t going to bring it back. A cult phenomenon, they could rival the Harry potters of the world and now it’s barely even a mention in pop culture.
It's as much a "preque"l as William's conquest of England is to the Battle of Agincourt. And who cares if this is as watched as GoT? It just needs to be good.
This looks amazing! Confused, though: Why are they starting here, with this succession crisis? Aren't they just skipping over lots of great potential stories? (IIRC, this was in the back half of the book F&B).
I can't believe they decided to put a whole family black while it is clearly explicited that the Velaryon are cousins from the Targaryen who are famous for their pale white skin.
So is this like a lead up prequel? Like is this the mad king that reigned before Bobby B? Or is this way before then? I'm just wondering if we're going to see Ned and stuff in this one?
I've never seen an adaptation that didn't care enough about the material and the story to get the casting right, but still managed to be good. Maybe this will be the first, but I wouldn't put my money on it. Traditionally, it's been a pretty clear sign that creative integrity and story telling were second fiddle to something else behind the camera. I'll check out the first episode, but my expectations are in the basement.
This is how I always imagined the Valyrians to look like 👍 not many people picked up on this, but grrm left clues here and there. Need to be able to read between the lines
Don't know this history? I have devoured every published material in this universe, seen the major fan theories, been on the forums for years, am familiar with the intricacies of this story and I call it woke.
Is Ramin Djawadi composing for this as well?
Yes :)
Yes.
Yes
The only reason why I am watching the show. And dragons.
His stuff is so good. How the sound evolved simply over the course of the show was phenomenal and powerful. His Westworld scores are unbelievable. I can't wait to see what comes next with HOTD.
Yep.
I don’t understand how they are telling more stories if Bran already has the best one
that's a solid burn
Spoiler alert, it's Bran telling the story.
IDK ask George. He seems to be fine job doing it instead of finishing the main series.
Maybe he didn't have the best story but Bran was really the only choice for king, his powers made him an absolute no brainer.
This just looks very costly and well made, no shade towards amazon and their shows (well... :D), but HBO simply outdoes them for whatever reason.
HBO has been doing this for a long time and has arguably been consistently the best at it for years.
It's a matter of experience. You're comparing the company behind The Sopranos, The Wire and Game of Thrones to the company behind uh... what exactly?
Someone posted something a ways back about why HBO is so much better about this. And it boils down to the fact that HBO has assets, TONS of them. HBO/Warner has warehouses full of objects and props and costumes that can be used to set a scene. Amazon and Netflix, being so new, have nothing. So HBO is able to do this and spend money on the shows where it matters, whereas the other streamers are spending the same amount of money without that starting point, so they have to sacrifice in places like special effects (yeah, I’m looking at you, The Witcher).
As a Wheel of Time fan... I'm ok with throwing shade at Amazon. What they did was truly remarkable, it's like they were trying to make the least faithful adaptation possible.
HBO has an experienced team doing this after a decade of GOT. Amazon had to start from scratch.
Lighting too. They're not afraid to make it moody and grimy. Amazon and Netflix sets always looks so shiny and brightly-lit. It feels so... clean. It's unnerving.
Warner Brothers has resources available that Amazon doesn’t have. They own soundstages, and warehouses of costumes and props. Many times Netflix and Amazon have to rent or contract these things which adds to the budget. It’s why HBO shows look better.
If nothing else this show will be visually stunning. It’s easy to forget how incredible GOT seasons 6 and on looked, despite the questionable writing. I’m really excited tbh
That's about all I saw in it tho. It looks good but what's the story and who cares? It's just squabbling nobles fighting for themselves.
It's not shade at Amazon. Wheel of time looked like a CW show and I'm still mad about it. At least the CGI wasn't as bad as the writing. Lol
Men would sooner put the realm to the torch than go to therapy.
I mean, the realm could have been spared unfathomable horror about fifteen times if the Targs had had access to competent therapists.
We’d rather put the realm to the torch than go see a doctor, that’s for sure.
Men would sooner not have insurance that covers therapy than go to therapy
I straight up thought that was going to be line.
Only a matter of time before this line appears as a meme shared on the Facebook walls of all those moms who named a child or pet "Khaleesi."
They’re keeping Aegon II and Aemond close to the vest huh? Looks super good though, I’m excited.
Trailer makes it seem like Matt Smith (Daemon) and Rhaenyra are opposed but they’re actually on the same side right?
Yeah remember the Dance of the Dragons took place over quite a few years though, so not all of the characters are around in their adult forms yet.
Are they even going to be in this season?
The glimpses of the dragon riding look amazing, looks like they've managed to improve on the effects from GOT. Really hope they do the sheer size of Vhagar justice, as well as just how colourful the dragons are, especially Sunfyre.
Yes. Vhagar should be HUGE
Daemon and his gold cloaks are looking drippy af
Imagine Ser Luthor Largent lifting his visor in that armor to say “Daemon gave us these cloaks and they’re gold no matter how you turn them”
nobody ready for motherfucking Daemon Targaryean and his gold cunts
I don't know how, but that shot single handedly convinced me to give this show a chance.
We'll see how the writing is--if it's good the show will have legs.
So much of the dialogue needing to be made up is probably my biggest concern, but if they're willing to pump in the cgi cash for all the dragons, it'll still be at least a little fun
Keep in mind George is involved with this series and has likely read the scripts and made suggestions/critique where needed. He has said he enjoys the pre production episodes he has seen so it gives me hope.
I got a little hyped by seeing dragons though. And Matt Smith is looking fine as Daemon.
I know this is off topic but your username caught me so much off guard, I actually laughed out loud.
I’m actually fairly hopeful about this… unlike was the case with GoT, this series is adapting a finished story…
It actually looks cooler than I expected. I only hope it doesn't fall into the same trap as GoT did.
Well the source material is finished so that's a plus
The trap being allowing D&D to write episodes.
Perfect quote from the Queen Who Never Was
Really is. Rhaenys was the probably most qualified of all the members in the council was yet passed simply because she is a woman, and (at the time of the series) history repeats itself but now bloodier.
It will cover the actual Dance of Dragons war?
Not the first season but the ones after it for sure
I’ve been saying I’m not going to watch this because HBO is just going to destroy more of the stories I love, but I just wanted everyone is this community to know that I’m a filthy liar and will be back watching every episode upon their release.
HBO wasn't really to blame for how GOT turned out tho
Not HBO's fault. It was D&D's fault.
I am 100% certain you’re not alone, because I’ve just gone from “ambivalent at best” to “yo I’m fucking HYPE” in the span of 2 minutes. I’m ready to be hurt again.
Everyone who claimed they won't watch anymore ASOIAF stuff will be watching this. If people in here say they aren't watching this, they're fucking lying.
Let's all get ready to be hurt again. Whether its through Red Wedding type shit, or the series going to shit, I'm ready.
Yes we know. We always knew. You were only ever fooling yourself, no one else.
Yes just CONSUUUUME product
Looks like we are getting Cregan Stark much earlier than expected, could just be that one scene though for now
What scene was he in?
At the beggining of the year I was way more excited for the LOTR show. After seeing both trailers, it’s completely flipped. This looks just leagues better, like an actually lived in environment, not a computer game. I’m sure even if writing will be subpar, this will be at least really fun to watch. I’m excited.
I recently read Fire and Blood and honestly I'm so hyped. I hope I'm not let down lol
I really enjoyed Fire and Blood, it was interesting. I had just finished reading the series and wanted more, and it gave me that. It was an interesting take too, instead of just a story it was this weird fake history book. I might have to read it again before August.
Im excited too, and i did not like the end of GOT.
how does it compare to asoiaf? (just the book)
It looks good. Maybe because I'm watching on my mobile but the trailer looks dark. Hope we don't get another battle of winter fell type
had the same issue, but turned out i had to turn my brightness up
No idea if it's my computer, my connection, or whatever, but the trailer did not look like 1080p, and I was watching on the official HBO Max Youtube channel.
The shot of Caraxes looks amazing. Cannot wait to see Matt Smith riding Caraxes into battle.
I don't think that is Caraxes. It looks completely black to me. The only black dragon alive during this story is The Cannibal. Maybe it is just lighting.
That actually looks incredible
Who knows how they'll do on story, but I agree that the feel of this trailer was way better than what we've seen from Wheel of Time and the trailer for the new LOTR show. Those both felt very generic fantasy, but this clearly feels like a return to a real world we know well.
Ramin Djawadi, I've missed you
I AM READY TO BE HURT AGAIN
Could be good, I’ll give it a watch if the reviews are positive. Judging only from the trailer though it seems as if they’re keeping the darker look of the later seasons of GOT which I am a bit disappointed by. I loved the colorful outfits and scenes of the earlier seasons. It was visually pleasing and a nice contrast with the darker themes.
Well time to eat crow, looks like I will be checking this out
Cool costumes and CGI but good lord, what's going on with the lightning? They got into that "natural light" bs since S7 and honestly it doesn't even look natural. Color grading is super washed out.
Exactly. We know it's fiction. Make it look real by good writing and not by changing the lights and not letting us see anything.
Remember when the Red Keep was, well, red?
That’s the one thing I didn’t like about this trailer
(Watches trailer on phone…)
Matt Smith has so much faaaaace.
It's already so dark...I mean, lightning, not the story.
Think this show will end better because this story actualy has a canonized ending?
Yup. Unless they don't stretch it and squeeze out extra seasons from the source material.
Was that Laenor's coffin they were dropping into the sea? I'm really curious how they're going to cover so much ground from Rhaenyra being a child to her marriage to Daemon in one season.
Feels like season 1 will be 50% flashback and 50% setting up for the main Dance.
Flashbacks?
Not satisfied until mushroom is shown
I am ready to be hurt again
I can’t help but feel really excited about this. I just finished my first read through of the main series so I still have a ton of fresh excitement for ASOIAF. I haven’t touched F&B yet so this story and characters are entirely new to me.
Where is Winds of Winter?
Ah shit here we go aginnn
Who was the woman with Daemon Targaryen at
Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen.
I know this sub is super anti tv show after GoT, but the first few seasons were great TV, and if they can capture that then I will fall in love once again. HOTD may revive my love of ASOiAF
Looks pretty cool till now. They weren't lying about big budget.
Ngl I’m pretty excited for this show. I mean it isn’t TWOW but any new content is good I guess
i have no hopes anymore for entertainment being good in this day and age but hope tobe wrong for once
Think they'll cut out blood and cheese? I hope not.
Damn this looks fucking good. I’m a sucker I guess but what can you do?
George wasn’t kidding when he said it looked good
The biggest thing for myself are the details. Can HBO notice the details? Details made the first four seasons of GOT amazing. Lack of details is what made the last four suffer. Being absolutely blind to details is what made the last season abysmal.
i so agree! The last seasons was only about the main big characters, not about the things that made the world rich, like side characters and side dialogue and the types of outfits (they only wear BIG BAD BATTLE DRESSES and ARMOR in the end)
Team Black
Why is Dragonstone still not accurate to the books :( I know it's expensive but c'mon HBO got the money.
They had to save where they could so they could afford to pay each of Matt Daemon's cheek bones.
Continuity with GoT. They've changed some things, like the Iron Throne looking like a halfway house between the show version and George's version, but only where they can explain why it looks different.
Maybe they didn’t want to make it too different so that the castle doesn’t suddenly entirely change after Robert’s rebellion. I hope that’s not the case though, because that’d mean that any glimpses we get of Highgarden or Casterly Rock would be those lame show versions.
I feel like I need to listen to the Fire and Blood audiobook again before I watch this because I forgot 99.5% of the information in that textbook.
Is the redhead/brunette supposed to be Alicent?
Yes
Looks OK. I'm so starved of ASOIAF content that I'll be watching though I know what will happen already. Who is the guy on Corlys's left in the shot with the whole Velaryon family? Like they're going to see the king so he's gotta be a trueborn son right? Is Addam not a bastard in this show?
Maybe it could be one of the Silent Five? (The Velaryons who got their tongues removed for calling Rhaenyra’s kids bastards, and later tried to steal Driftmark from Alyn.) Or it could be one of Corlys’ brothers.
Vaemond Velaryon, Corlys' brother (in the books he was his nephew but they aged Corlys down thankfully)
I'm optimistic, but once again, very disappointed by the armor designs... They are beautiful, to be sure, but I really, really hate the whole "mass-produced, homogeneous design" approach that's become so common in cinematic fantasy.
I don't like how the armor is all plate. Give us some brigandine and mail, this war is over 150 years before the War of the 5 kings.
I'm mildly excited. Lots of that trailer looked great. Sets, costumes acting look great. Gold Cloaks and Matt Smith I'm not sold on yet but we shall see. "Men would sooner put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend the iron throne." got me pretty excited for some throne politics
What's with the dark scenes and bad wigs? Like they tried to hide the costumes with more darkness.
That's how "prestige" tv is shot. Dimness above all.
Oh please old gods and new let this succeed so we can get a Sea Snake prequel show about his voyages
And then please let the Sea Snake prequel succeed so we can get a sequel about the voyages of Alyn Oakenfist.
Would love to hear the details of his voyage to Asshai and finding Sun Chaser docked there in the harbor.
Matt Smith looks like a really bad Legolas cosplay.
Well I'm sold. This looks so good. Like WoT and the LoTR trailer look like crap compared to how pretty this trailer looks.
HBO reminding everyone that they're still the kings of high fantasy TV
It’s not the same two dudes making this, right?
No. It's Martin and the guy who did Colony which I enjoyed.
I LOVE THIS
I get people hated the end of the original, and i get how frustrating it is waiting for the next book(s), but damn does this look good. I was worried it would look low budget, or feel like a knock off of the original, but seeing this got me hyped up. I hope without having show leaders who don't actually care will produce seasons as rich and enthralling as the original few seasons of the original were.
it's only me who can have this series go too much in the demonization of the characters by forgetting the depth behind it?
I think Paddy Considine and Rhys Ifans will carry this show
Am i The only one who thinks that The white wigs Look horrible?
Yes Dr Dragon please
I don’t think I’m ready to be hurt again.
Is that Harrenhall at 0:47?
I like it!
It really looks like it dialled up version of the best parts of GoT, hopefully the music delivers, the sets and costumes look even more accurate. SO excited for the Velaryons. Matt smith might actually pull off his character. Its going to be intense for sure. Do we have an episode count or are we back to the 10 episode formula?
10 episodes apparently. Matt's smirk at 1:00 gives me hope for his portrayal of Daemon.
I can admit when I'm wrong and good god above, I WAS WRONG AND IM SO FUCKING GLAD I WAS!
Matt Smith, not Matt Damon.
It sucks how uninterested I am in this.
It surprises me how I feel zero hype for this
Looks good so far!
I wonder who will resurrect to do absolutely nothing of importance this time.
i wasn't gonna watch this, but maybe i will after all. D&D are gone, so it won't face the same problems as GoT. little worried about the showrunner. never heard of him, and his previous show wasn't critically acclaimed or very popular. i think networks often put competent but unproven directors in charge of series when that show is gonna be a network-run, focus-tested piece of... blandness. but maybe GRRM is getting final say? the 4 seasons of GoT he helped with were so good...
D&D were also relatively inexperienced when they started GoT S1. And it turned out well (well, at least in the beginning).
Men would sooner put the realm to the torch than rewatch GOT.
It's so weird that this show is basically GRRM procrastinating while writing TWOW.
Ok, i don't care what people say, I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
“[D&D] would sooner put [Dany's character and the whole cultual phenomenon GoT was] to the torch than see a [good writing] ascend the Iron Throne.”
George is happily writing another blogpost instead of writing Winds.
Damnit I promised myself I wasn't going to watch this show
Watching a review video and someone pointed out the great Sept of Baelor…
Is it too hard to believe that King's Landing would have a big sept prior to King Baelor's reign?
The settings, costumes, etc. look wonderful. I will definitely be watching this. I hope it delivers.
Meh. Looks ok. Kinda feels pointless to watch a prequel knowing what happens in the future if the world. They ruined a legacy and grasping at straws isn’t going to bring it back. A cult phenomenon, they could rival the Harry potters of the world and now it’s barely even a mention in pop culture.
It's as much a "preque"l as William's conquest of England is to the Battle of Agincourt. And who cares if this is as watched as GoT? It just needs to be good.
It just serves to further explain why Targs are bad news as rulers.
This looks amazing! Confused, though: Why are they starting here, with this succession crisis? Aren't they just skipping over lots of great potential stories? (IIRC, this was in the back half of the book F&B).
It only covers the Dance of the Dragons, not all of Fire and Blood
ok why am i excited for this seems fun!
Trailers are made to attract the audience
Did we really need another series of targs fighting over the iron throne? With starks and baratheons involved?
Many asked for this. And GOT finished stronger than most shows.
This looks fine, I probably won't even watch it till all the episodes are out though. Just no real hunger for prequel stuff.
Corlys Velaryon always was, and always will be, my least favorite character in the history of Westeros.
[удалено]
I can't believe they decided to put a whole family black while it is clearly explicited that the Velaryon are cousins from the Targaryen who are famous for their pale white skin.
[удалено]
Looks amazing, but why did they have to change the title? Fire and Blood sounded way cooler
So is this like a lead up prequel? Like is this the mad king that reigned before Bobby B? Or is this way before then? I'm just wondering if we're going to see Ned and stuff in this one?
This is the Dance of Dragons which is a civil war that took place about 200 years before Game of Thrones is set.
I've never seen an adaptation that didn't care enough about the material and the story to get the casting right, but still managed to be good. Maybe this will be the first, but I wouldn't put my money on it. Traditionally, it's been a pretty clear sign that creative integrity and story telling were second fiddle to something else behind the camera. I'll check out the first episode, but my expectations are in the basement.
Ok I know HBO fumbled the last few seasons but this looks pretty decent, at least production wise
More than decent lol
Seeing this now, it intrigues me more than I want it to. Still hoping this flops, though.
This is how I always imagined the Valyrians to look like 👍 not many people picked up on this, but grrm left clues here and there. Need to be able to read between the lines
Sarcasm?
Heck even the white Targaryen characters in this trailer don't look the way Valyrians are described in the books.
I bet some people who don't know the history would call this game of thrones is going "woke"
Don't know this history? I have devoured every published material in this universe, seen the major fan theories, been on the forums for years, am familiar with the intricacies of this story and I call it woke.
Well, it's not like the people who use "woke" as an insult for anything are known for their reading comprehension.
Check out the comments on youtube. They're doing it already 🤦🏻♀️
The history bit at the end? Much of history doesn't include all the names but sure as fuck remembers wars.
I was already excited for this series when it was announced, and I'm excited still. I think they've chosen great actors as well.
Excuse me people but where is the frame by frame breakdown?
When Alicent kisses him Viserys has that "Seen message" face lol he looks so uninterested
