HOUSE OF THE DRAGON | Comic Con 2022 Full Panel (Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Eve Best) 

Matt was bracing himself to be bugged about Doctor Who's 60th anniversary but got Morbed instead.

Just the fact that the show runner looked at George and asked to make sure if his explanation of the synopsis of house of the dragon was good truly reassured me that this will be faithful and done well.

I hate the moderator, completely ignored Emily and Olivia and some questions were just stupid.

You can see some of these actors are very nervous and not used to this spotlight. This is the biggest project some of them ever done and you can see that. That doesn't mean they don't have chemistry for example Emma and Matt in the Entertainment interview seem to have good off-screen chemistry. Matt and Eve looked the less nervous but you can see that this situation is very unfamiliar for the cast. Trailer looks amazing, acting in the trailer looks excellent so I am certainly looking forward to it

I’m sure they know how much this show will launch their careers to probably the pinnacles of what they will be. It’s a lot of pressure and in a few years these panels will be much more seem less like they were with Thrones. Let them grow into the enormity of these roles and this show.

10:33 This is the most important sentence in the whole panel, George has seen the show and is very happy about the show, in the end that is all that matters.

The Damon Targaryen casting was brilliant, the guy looks exactly how I envisioned Damon in my mind.

I think cause of being the first season , they are all still new to each other and these characters , so of course there is gonna be a bit of awkwardness at first , wait till later seasons and they all come together in real life like they do in this world of fantasy !

You rock! Thanks again for all the panels! Super appreciate it!

Thank you for uploading the full panels! You’re the best 🙌😊

Cast was probably nervous and the audience was dead which did not help. Still looking forward to the show anyway because quiet/reserved people can transform when acting to someone completely different like Littlefinger or The Hounds actors for example. Don’t judge the characters chemistry because of this

Paddy Considine not getting a big cheer irked me. The man is one of the best actors working.

Yes the cast are a bit awkward and seem to lack chemistry, but I think that is just pressure and nerves. Gotta remember the cast of Game of Thrones didn’t have this kind of spotlight on them before season 1 aired. I’m hopeful 🤞🏻

I love the matt smith name announced and peoples are screams

I think the host could have had better questions .

Not all heroes wear capes! Thanks for this upload 🐉

thankyou for showing diff panels of comic con .

This moderator is just not doing it for me he’s a tad awkward. Also Eve Best has my whole heart she’s so wholesome 🥺

THIS. THIS IS MY ENTIRE LIFE RIGHT HERE. I have been rooting fot the Dance of Dragons since I first read it in TWOIAF and when F&B elaborated I jumped in into becoming a full fledged artist for ASOIAF. I love this cast so much and I CAN NOT POSSIBLY STRESS how much I love Fabien. He’s just the PERFECT CRISTON COLE. Aside from that, I’m a loyal Team Black member that stands with Rhaenyra. Fire will reign everyone brace yourselves!!

22:08 : Paddy Considine speaking High Valyrian, you're welcome.

They knew very well people are kinda backshitting the show just out of the disappointment of season 8 of GOT and they really look nervous, the audience was completely dead, the host was terrible and it's such a shame. I really believe that once the show is out and amazing, people will come around and the cast will feel more comfortable to be goofy and more chatty.

Come next year the audience will be screaming for everybody, not just Matt and George.

I loved George's answer to the second to last question. They could have left it as the joking "yeah that's what it's about" but taking that time and getting alittle more independent with someone who was clearly a nervous fan was so sweet

"Matt Smith!" Crowd roars "George Martin!" Crown goes wild "everyone else" ....who?

The screams when Matt Smith was announced

Idk I kinda like how nervous they are it feels refreshing and not fake

This reminds me of the first game of thrones panel back in 2011

Ryan seems more confident when he speaks about the source material while D&D were "kinda" confident...

Eve Best is so lovely complimenting on that Rhaenys cosplay!

Thank you so much for this video. I’m very excited to be able to see all the characters on screen soon and can’t wait to see if certain character traits are reflected in the series. I’m sure their acting will be amazing 🤗

That high valarian bit was great 😊😊💯

I've been waiting for someone to post the whole thing, thanks!

Really excited to see Olivia Cooke go from Ready Player One to this. The host… not so much

I feel George's comment about giving his characters up for adoption and whether they'd be "recognisable by the end" was definitely a little fig at D&D there. He knows deep down how horribly they handled the final season. I just hope this show delivers, Ryan was hand picked by George so he obviously has faith in him.

Eve making dragon noises was hilarious 😂😂😂

Thank you for posting this, it’s the only full panel video I could find💖

Thank you for the efford! Really helps us folks from around the world who cannot attend

He ignored Olivia and Emily wtf. Not a Alicent Hightower fan I guess.

This moderator just sucks at his job...

It makes me a great and real impression to see the man from whom such a masterful and complex story came out, a story of hundreds and even thousands of years, I really think he is a genius, great George!

Eve is fire in this panel.

It was about the writings of George. Really come on his humbleness. It's totally incredible. I'm seeing this on Sunday July 24th

Why can't subtitles be activated in your video? I would like to be able to understand what the actors say!!

Thank you for uploading! 🥰

At last! I've been waiting for this. Thanks. I like the young Alicent actress - she looks good. I like that she presents herself well. Clean looks and glam love it! Bravo!

THANKS FOR UPLOADING

22:08 Skorkydoso zaldrīzo drōmon tōmēpsa uniroty laodikson kotas? “How can he (allow) fifty dragon eggs to be stolen?” (I think…!)

I honestly hope that they continue to go back further in time, to show us more history! Like 4 seasons covering this! Dance of Dragons! Then 4 more seasons that take us back to Aegon's Conquest! And then finish it with the last 4 seasons covering what Old Valyria was like right before the Doom, and what the Doom looked like! That'd give us 12 solid seasons worth. Use this TV series to show us the *House of the Dragon* going back throughout their history, and not just this one event! Where we see the Targaryens, of course - but other similar families too! 💗

A great panel, really excited for the show

Damn what a dead audience. They really didn't help with the actors calming their nerves

been looking forward to this, thanks for uploading it!

Wow this is the most boring con I've seen. I understand the actors but the host was very dry.

Cant wait to see this show! Wish I was there. Emily Best is my Queen. Shes so sweet and adorable here. Her answers were the sweetiest.

Host wasnt amazing, but its daunting for everyone to do the first comic con panel for this show! Very excited for the future.

"George, so uh, yunno, about that book uh..."

thanks for uploading man been searching for this

They had the worst moderator .. dude's terrible at his Job

Daemon Targaryen is going to be a fan favorite.

Thanks for posting-I’ve been waiting😍

The last guy just threw away the opportunity he was given with that stupid question hahaha Like, did he even watch the teaser?

Thank you very much for bringing this to us.

So excited about this! Can't wait for the final product.

Rhys Ifans is missing.🥺

10:14 😂😂 "so far" ...wonder if that was a very subtle shot at the tragedy of D&D.

Morbin time 40:11

Thank you so much for uploading!!!!

I think George could play a maester in his show

15:45 Liv was about to talk and then Emma laughed 😭

This guy I know is a big fan, but he needed to allow them to introduce themselves. And introduce them to new audience. Odd structure

I would have asked if there was a chance Mushroom would appear. I thought it was a bad question but I think some of these fan questions beat it.

George said something soo interesting in here... " they are like my kids and if you give themfor adoption then you always wonder how they will be treated....if you recognize them when they come bakc " - thats exactly what happened in the nd of GoT with almost all the characters, just couldnt recognize them anymore

40:18 holy cringe

Can't wait for the show, but this was AWKWARD. No enthusiasm from the crowd, or cast :/

hopefully ryan corr is an integral part of the show been a fan since packed to the rafters

8:35 "Our man from Dorne".. ? Cristin Cole was of the Stormlands. Sure, Black Haven, where he was born, is considered to be on the Dornish Marches, which is the southern part of the Stormlands, but you don't call them Dornish. They, in fact, actually have had a long history of feuds with Dorne. This was quite a flub on the nervous interviewer. I suppose the actor looks somewhat like a salty dornishman? The show wiki states he is of "dornish descent". However, this is never stated in the books. Some marcher lords have intermarried with the dornish, so it's not that hard to believe, I suppose. I wonder if they are going to try to give him a Dorne angle in this show?

I laughed and cringed when Matt was told: hey, Matt, guess what...IT'S MORBING TIME

Many people who got into Hall H, Saturday, camped out to get the wristbands! I was one of thousands who camped out. My wristband was group C. I did not enjoy that part of the experience but I enjoyed seeing the cast of actors for House of the Dragons! Unfortunately the moderator was not very good.

9:08 cringiest explanation EVER. Just embarrassing shows these actors only care about MONEY and not the depth of their portrayal.

Some very odd questions... Like the question about what decree they would enact... Not sure what that's about. This panel is supposed to be about "House of the Dragon." Wasn't really watching this to learn about the cast as individuals, more about the show and the characters and how they are in it.

Well, it was not the best panel but I enjoyed it. I don't think they lack chemistry, maybe a bit, but for me they were nervious , that's all. They'll get better in the future (I hope). Some of the questions were dumb ( fans and moderator). Pissed me off they didnt ask emily or Olivia questions about alicent. ( Could've been interesting) and I love Paddy 's sense of humor. He was great!!! I'm SO hyphed for this show!!! Dragons are coming 🔥🔥🔥 Btw I love seeing grr Martin there ( he deserves it) and I'm glad he's part of the show. Let's hope he finishes the wow soon!!!

this is always so cringe, get better hosts

The most compelling/relief thing are that D.B. and Dave aren't attach to the series.

I’m so ready to see this show!!

When you and your friends are introvert but forced to get an interview :v

didnt know olivia cooke sounds like Florence pugh.edit: i didnt see the video just listening. lol its milly alcock that counds like florence lol.

thank you🐲

Disgusting how they tried to make a problem about the "why is having a queen so much of an issue?". Are you freaking kidding me? This has always been a thing in the history of the world, of course it wouldn't be a problem today.

It's all fun and games until Daemon says "It's Daemon time!" 40:50

I love olivia cook and young rhaenyra

Hey George, what are you doing on that panel? Shouldn’t you be somewhere writing Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring? At least have a note pad up there to be working while you’re doing other things

Eve looks amazing!

I really like that george rr martin explains he is very inspired by history, when women were suppressed and didnt have any real possibility to rule. The story wasnt meant to be a modern tale about Women gainin equal rights, but a show with roots in the middle ages, when women were for breading. I understand that tv tries to push agendas but i prefer george's original matrial and intend.

The moderator is terrible.

Ya know what when y'all get Emmys Oscar's y'all kiss his feet n kind. His story is gonna make ur money 💰

Thank you for uploading this!

The questions about the realm not wanting a queen is very poor and the actors jumping on it at Martin is ridiculous... If you're doing a show based on the medieval times guess what it's going to show.. oh an Emma it has been fixed head of state in your country is female, most favoured candidates in the leadership election was female 🤷🏼‍♂️

george please finish the God damn books

40:13 for Morbin' time

moderator was absolutely atrocious
