More like a... Morbius strip God, I'm sorry, that was terrible, I just couldn't resist the temptation. Feel free to cut my head in half as punishment for that joke
@@greenberry6019 I'm not mad... maybe a little disappointed in myself for having the same urge. You were very brave. My lame urge has been put to rest thanks to you.
Holy shit. My inner anxiety gremlin just screamed dramatically that you killed the possibility with a mention. But then my inner cynic laughed in such a devastating fashion that I know it was never an option. Oh George, skip the knighthoods, eat some kale and keep typing.
@@idawg7332 I think Winds will come out in 2026 and then I think Steven Erikson will finish it in like 2028. Hopefully. He's the only one who has the chops to finish the series properly, but honestly I don't know if he'd even accept the offer
Probably my favorite episode of the season. The scene of Aemond claiming Vhagar is straight-up magical, I love the detail that he seems to be the only one to hear and acknowledge her calls at the funeral. Plus this video is giving me a much-needed break from lesson planning, so that's much appreciated. Great work as always!
@@jakelabute5196 I dunno, my theory about GRRM is more that he's got it all written, and he's so sick of listening to fans complain that he's not releasing a word of it until after he's dead. He's got all the money he needs, now he's going to enjoy spending the rest of his life trolling us.
Note to self: do NOT drink during these videos. You will get hit with something like “wait, why do Rhaenyra’s family members keep marrying her best friends?”
Corlys? And Tywin? Do you mayhaps mean Otto Hightower and Tywin, or did I miss a joke, or you're "taking the piss" as brits say? Not trying to insult you, just honestly confused by Tywin and Corlys comparing to each other.
"Salt courses through Velaryon blood." Oh, don't worry, we know. It's blindingly obvious just how much sodium is contained within your body at this very moment
@@rosita3528 he was a kid as well and he was literally outnumbered 4 to 1 and his atackers had a knife and he was still defeating them so they had to throw sand in his eyes to manage to cut him. Very few kids could pull off what he did.
@@masterplokoon8803 he was 10, they were literally 5 and 6 years old. I'm pretty sure most 10 year olds could fight off 5 and 6 year olds. And only Lucerys had a knife and he didn't use it until the end of the fight after Aemond picked up a rock. He fought off a 5 and 6 year old and 2 girls. "10 year old Aemond put up a better fight against his attackers" you make it sound like he was fighting some trained swordsmen lol
I think Helaena was making more of a prophecy than what you thought. Weaving dragons of threads may mean making dragon sigil banner for war - green and black.
27:32 It's actually Criston who moves first and Daemon only moves to stop him. Criston starts moving and Harold yells "Ser Criston do not", before Daemon even moves. And after Daemon and Criston clash, Criston gets subdued by other Kingsguard members. After that Daemon is free to move but he doesn't go anywhere. If he wanted to intervene somewhere else, he easily could but he doesn't because he only moved to stop Criston.
'Dragons of Thread' _could_ also refer to the banners that call people to war- & the fact that the realm will have to soon pick a side, & you know- weave the tapestry that is the war. God, we are such nerds- & I love it! There's a mention of Aenar the Exile departing Valyria with _wives_ as in the multiple- & I believe F&B mentions that polygamy was slightly less common than the garden-variety incest
There’s a deleted scene showing Daemon comforting his daughters after Laena’s death. He did care. If you saw his face when she got Vhagar to kill her, he obviously cared. 🤷♀️
@@fox2569Regardless of deleted scenes, based on what is shown BOTH in F&B and HotD, if there's anything Daemon definitely does care about it's his family. (Alicent and her kids are excluded since they're Greens so Daemon doesn't consider them his family. Also Rhea Royce is excluded cuz Daemon never really considered her as his wife)
I once said Lord Glimbus was spoiling us for 2 uploads in one week, and now that it has occurred once again, I’ll say to you all, see you in 3-4 months (maybe sooner).
It's hilarious that quite a bit of people at this funeral don't even speak High Valerian. So could you imagine the people just standing there hearing very serious foreign language for a very serious funeral then... Laugher. and then hostile looks from the person giving the speech. idk it just seems hilarious and awkward all at once.
I'm probably one of your NEWEST viewers, but in the last 2 weeks I have consumed so Glidus content I thought the library would be endless. Here I am like the other hundred thousand viewers waiting months at time for new videos. Cheers. Keep up the great work!
HOTD does a great job of portraying Aemond, he always gives me those same vibes as school shooters in school safety videos. Then when considering how he’s treated as a kid it starts to make sense, especially with how he acts after getting an incredibly dangerous weapon. So I hope the show continues on this path, rather than not making him the monster he truly was during the dance.
Your rant about bastardy at the end made me lol, I'm from Denmark and I'm the only one of my siblings who isn't a "bastard" - gonna hold that against them forever
What always annoyed me was in the books rheanys mother was a brunette, and so was she. Had she been made a brunet in the show, I feel a lot of the rumors might have been taken less seriously seeing how rhyneara’s children would’ve been her grandchildren, people might have been more inclined to believe genetics over adultry, maybe
I think for thematics and all they could have had her be dark haired during the who gets to be heir at the beginning and then showing her with silver hair to indicate both the time passage and to make her look more like the rest of the Targs would have done a decent job aswell, since they aged her up quiet a bit in the show. Maybe give her a few darker streaks during the first 5 episodes and then make her fully silver haired for the rest.
They did dragon riding so much better in this show. Daenerys came off Drogon looking like the cover of a beauty magazine. Aemond came off Vhagar actually looking like he wrangled and rode a monster. I never realized how poorly dragon riding was portrayed in GoT until they started doing it in HotD.
I thinkthe worst part about this is that she looked like a mess after her first ride on Drogon, but never afterwards. Always perfect hair, Sansa can't ride on horseback without having her braid being messy, but Daenerys can ride a dragon and look perfect.
I only just subscribed recently but I've been binging all of your videos the last couple of weeks. Thank you for making such funny and wonderful content. I really appreciate the effort you clearly put into your videos. I hope I'll be able to watch many more of your videos in the future!
Something I’ll never forgive this episode is where the diddly damn fuck were the guards when the kids went out of their rooms. The sons of the heir are without a guard? Are you for real 😭😭😭
When i first watched this episode, my dog decided to acting up and while i was trying to deal with him i missed Lenor rowing away. I also waited untill the entire show was released to to binge it in a day. so spent the rest of the season really pissed at them for basically having him assassinated Lenor so they could marry. Later I saw other people talking about the changes from the book to the show and found out he survived. Neadless to say i was really shocked and had to rewatch it. I'm glad my boy lived and even if he soon dies to free up seasmoke i hope he got to live a little while on his own terms away from the BS court life.
My interpretation of the “I may have lost an eye, but I gained a dragon” line is that, even though he doesn’t truly believe “it was a fair exchange”, which is made very clear when, as soon as they’re away from the family, he demands Luke’s eye as payment, he said what he said in the heat of the moment because he was afraid for his mother and what might happen if she wasn’t reined in; essentially, my read is that Aemond moved to defend his mother, because in that moment, he learned beyond any doubt that his father would never defend him or her, so he chose to protect his true family. Aemond had no choice but to grow up too fast.
I was worried I slipped into a coma and woke up in the far future this morning. The amount of pleasant surprise at seeing another update AND not being in a coma cannot even be fathomed. Well played Glimbus.
These Glimbus videos have come just at the right time- it was my birthday yesterday and when I saw you had uploaded I took it as a personal birthday gift.
The funeral music is my favorite theme in the show thus far. You can hear it in all the funeral scenes (Aemma, Laena, baby Visenya). But what I absolutely love is that it’s also sampled in the sex scene with Rhaenyra & Criston, beautifully complementing the death of Rhaenyra’s innocence (to the extent loss of virginity can be considered loss of innocence) and Criston’s betrayal of his vows.
dragons of flesh weaving dragons of thread: Targeryens making different flags for their faction? because targeryen sigil is a dragon? and its made of thread?
In front of everybody no less. Not to mention directly disobeying the kings command in multiple ways and clearly being the one responsible for teaching their kids to consider their nephews bastards - especially after Viserys had already forbidden her to even suggest such a notion in private to him both years and again only a week or so before. Cole also somehow gets away with nary a consequence (again) when this all happened on his watch.
especially since Lucerys was a six year old boy who was dragged into that situation, a fight broke out that he had nothing to do with starting, immediately had his nose broken, choked and told he was going to die. What child that young isn’t going to go into self preservation mode out of fear.
