House of the Dragon S2 Episode 5 - WHAT IS NEXT? - Angry Review 

😂😂😂”some shit that will make your asshole pucker up tighter than a toothpick “ would’ve made me lmfao

Don't you mean Colton?

Crispin?

​@@nk5288 😂😂 perfect response to a great comment

lmao fact and she mad at him like bitch have you see the shit I saw see thousand of man all gone so fast and three dragon fight, I would told her that she never been in battle

Yeah I had to skip Daemon's boring ass scenes of wandering around aimlessly like a drunk being seduced by the darkside. Couldn't care less only the ending makes up for the next episode.

OK this was pretty funny lol

😅😅😅

daemon is actually doing vital work. its just boring because its a very political job.

​​@transonicgnat5872 what a clown...

How it should be seeing that just three full grown dragons brought westeros to its knees before. I'm hoping the scorpion bolts bounce off their skin like the books. Dorne only got a kill with one with a lucky eye shot

He got the fear of God put into him by them dragons at the same time the people lost the fear of God when he paraded the dragon head through town

@@johno1544 I really hate how invincible they are to anything other than other dragons. Its lame.

@@lastword8783 They aren't though.

Well looks like they should beg Otto to comback.

a 5? did they mix up Acolyte? This was an easy 8. These guys will always be single...

I swear Alex does it just to be edgy or different. Like no one cares that you’re miserable Alex lol

I'm with Alex He Hits my opinion more than the other two

It's because last episode was 10/10 and it also says episode 4 😂 copied and pasted

@@iirandomchaos777yikes- it’s ironic that your comment comes off as all those things you accuse Alex of. The comments on this video are mixed. Some agreeing with Alex and some disagreeing. There’s one directly below yours, for example, that agrees with Alex.

Cleaning his sword*

Exactly that. I said the same thing.

sharpening his blade with a lemon... lmao you did not

@@DirtyBonj lol what do u mean?

@@DirtyBonj Well lemons do have a sharp taste lol

Oh god that line pisses me off so much

I knew somebody would comment this😂👍

The fire is always right

The Riverlands are the second most populated region in Westeros only the Reach has a larger population.

The BlackWoods and Brackens are actually more powerful than The Tullys. The Tyrell's are similar to the Tully's Aegon probably made them Lord Paramount's to prevent rebellion and keep the more powerful and older houses like the HighTower's, Tarly's in Check.

​​@@ferrjuanum... The north? I get that they're not as densely populated, but the north is so HUG

@@vario6492 Russia is huge too yet the small island of Java in Indonesia has more people than the whole of Russia. The North is bigger than of the other regions of Westeros but since resources are not as abundant like the Reach and the Riverlands its population isn’t as large as the other regions of Westeros.

Yeah its really annoying

@@luckyeross We clearly said “from the books”. The show has yet to completely cover the entire story, therefore sharing or hinting at things from the books that haven’t happened in the show yet make those things spoilers. Idk if thats hard to understand but im gonna go out on a limb here and say youre just an idiot

@@luckyeross we clearly specified “from the books”. If the show, which is covering the books, hasnt fully adapted all of the material from the books then someone sharing some of that material which has not been adapted would be considered spoiling. The video is titled as a review of s2 episode 5, not a review of content from the books that a lot of us haven’t read. Laugh at your lack of common sense

Its killing me. Joe just spontaneously vomits spoilers. "she's going to be the queen eventually". Are you fucking kidding me?

Don't watch unitl you read the books then

​@@streetsiswatching9660 The show is adapting the book and is following it very closely, so your comment is ridiculous.

lmao did he?

@@dredrakonic9013😂😂😂😂😂

I missed that.

Yeah it was towards the very end. “Mummy”

Thought he was a king but he was just a boy. It stings a little more knowing she did this to him essentially 😂 all she sees is her ambition burnt away🤣

just wish the writing was better and made alot of the characters more clever and witty. So many scenes are entirely written for all characters to be brooding and serious. GoT writing in S1-4 had so much clever and witty lines inbetween the brooding that made multiple episodes of all dialogue completely digestible and entertaining . i'm not talking about marvel quips either, just George's writing for truly fleshing characters out. GoT was heavily about characters trying to outplay and outwit eachother, while HoTD relies far to much on all the characters constantly making mistakes and then brooding ad nauseum about it

@@tylergraham6662 This so much, where is a comedic dwarf when you need one, surely Tyrion Lannister must have some dwarven ancestors, waiting for one to pop up on a dragon next.

@@tylergraham6662 I complete agree with you that these characters need to do more cause before game of throne was destroyed, we care about the character and here in house of dragon, they barely do anything

Allot of people criticising hotd for being slow character not being as interesting. I kinda agree in a way, but i think not only are the characters more realistic relatable, but the conflicts arn’t as exaggerated, in game of thrones in some ways feels like watching hells kitchen. Someone does something then gordon absolutely shits on them and fires them, in hotd, people get upset tensions rise but people also don’t fuck themselves over and then get lucky, not saying its better than got but the believability is refreshing. Everyones not completely bloodthirsty all the time or completely fucks something up for the sake of plot. And everyone don’t conveniently have every piece of info available to them unless it makes sense. Allot of people in got felt like they had super powers they way they manuvered and knew everything. Felt like the whole plot was basicly the good guys loose all the time untill they are so rock bottom, then a small reprieve them fucked over again. Which is all good from a drama perspective and entertainment, but i like that hotd didn’t go as far in that direction.

It’s boring now

i love his 24/7 with the same "posture" with the hand on the sword LOL he is copying his "daddy" Daemon to look cool and is hilarious i imagine doing that posture in the bathroom lmao

@@Morfe02everytime he’s on screen all I see is Zoolander and keep waiting for the pose off or a perfume commercial to come on 😂

@@bw7754 pulling BLUE STEEL to mog the enemy

omg i never even noticed it but as soon as u say this i realise holy shit he does it 24/7 ae

No it doesn't. It's intelligent story making.

its missing something for sure, bcs the story isnt bad

They’ve been doing Alicent character development for the last 13 episodes

Couple this with her realization that she started all of this over a misunderstanding

yes that was the highlight, actually her character s trajectory has been the only consistent thing from season 1 till now

Correction she thought she had control over them and parts of the realm when in reality she can't do shit lol

Nah, they're human, dude. They're not machines driven by metrics or data.

How can you be sure? ;)

@@SC4RY_G4RRY because they have complex and dynamic emotions and feelings and tastes in entertainment

@@vidmasterK1 😂 sarcasm isn’t lost on you

They rate things on different scales The acolyte has the incompetent clown scale and house of the dragon has a professional scale

Yeah it's so frustrating! The spoilers section of the review should be for the TV SHOW and not the books!

lmao ye especially the alicent and rhaneyra scene made it stupid

Especially after Aemond locked down the city, and its still getting infiltrated no problem.

brooo i hate that Rhaenyra thinks "they arent in war" and SHE GOES TO THE SEPT and they sell this move like "wow she is a good leader" emm no she is dumb, she doesnt make anything in this episode at least she is planning to use the old dragons or send the guy to Daemon (plus this is a bad move, this guy is the same group of "i follow a guy not a woman" so he is gonna help Daemon only because is a guy im very sure this decision was a stupid action) is more interesting by far the green council ranting, but then they drop the 8th time where "Alicent is a good leader but she is ignore by MEEEEEN" yeah again the same fcking REPEAT dialogue as Rhaenyra you watch once, you watched all

sounds like she would be a terrible queen then.

Not exactly, it’s a similar situation to aegons, but worse because if she’s incapacitated daemon or one of her bastard sons takes control, or her council. She is really the main figurehead, so she is very much held back from fighting. That’s why the scene with the white worm and that relationship is super important

She should be making strategic decisions and planning not getting on a dragon

@@thiphan6515 She knows literally nothing about war though.

also they are setting the events winter wolves, harrenhal battle, emm i guess dragonseeds im very sure they stretching the season to end the sea battle in the episode 7 or 8 lmao

all episodes have been slow and boring. its just talk talk talk. no Game of Thrones vibes

@@buscandolaverdad101 That is literally GoT vibes. The show was never action packed or full of battles.

@@Thrashifice not even that but no surprises, no shocking scenes, nothing. Already 5 episodes and we need to wait until the last episodes. This has become trash just like everything else.

@@Morfe02

True, but GoT season 6 last two episodes definitely were both a 10/10 in my book. Especially since so much happened. But here we didn’t need another action filled episodes.

Agreed. If every episode is like last week's that too will eventually get old and tiresome. I love all the setup and the dialogue and all the finer details that is building up to bigger things down the road.

@@kotorevan313 I feel seen 😀. The mix of action and set up is what made GoT great and makes this show great.

I thought for sure he would side with Alicent during small council. He def lost foot viewing privileges

They needed a littlefinger 2.0 but forgot to give him an actual goal. Why did he feel the need to kill of his own father and brother? It not really seem to have achieved anything.

@@Userkiller3814 "It not really seem to have achieved anything" > Went from a second son with no inheritance to the Lord of Harrenhal > Maneuvered Alicent into a vulnerable position in which he is now able to blackmail her to gain higher status > Continues using his higher status to eventually begin chirping in Aegon's ear > Gains a seat on the Small Council

I know right, I would need to keep hit’n them feet every other episode at least to be the best snake I could be

⁠@@koopasteveand now has control of all the gold in Harrenhal

I think this season is terrible. I agree with your sentiments. I’m showing my daughter game of thrones for the first time. We are at that scene where the two boys on the Lannister side in war thought they heard something and one of them farts teasing the other. Then Rob’s wolf jumps out and attacks them. Then they cut to rob on his horse in the dark. Then cut to the morning after the battle with bleeding soldiers and the girl he married cutting off someone’s calve or foot. It was a great transition! The Mentioned this because HOD attempted the same battle transition but did it soooo wrong. I was like all those bodies We didn’t even know who those people were. It didn’t even look like a real battle scene. Speaking of real. Speaking of real, The scenes of regular people seem like an entirely different show. I’m bored out of my mind and don’t understand how people who loved the original can give this mediocre show praise. The first season was much better but it was no Game of Thrones.

@@Angel-gp6tx Agreed. I get the sense HOD is lower budget compared to GoT. I don't know the numbers but it feels that way

You are right. It would be great if we got to see more of those battles.

That doesn't explain why they constantly make idiotic decisions. These characters are just not intelligent. Tyrion had literally zero experience being in charge of anything (other than sewage) and was amazing because he's intelligent and intelligently written.

There are long 8 episodes, 1h each because they figured out they cannot wait 2 years between seasons because the viewership drops significantly. Cutting the episode counts helps them to deliver the season annually.

Alex makes it so hard to watch any reviews with him in it

What a shame to see that different people aren't allowed to have different standards for entertainment

He said “I love this series”. He’s just critical.

It's his opinion but far out there is not one single review he's been in where he isn't coming across as a sook that has to whinge about everything

Usually I agree with Alex but I loved this episode

He mentioned that Vermithor and Silver Wing are the biggest they have. Cannibal is supposed to be around Vermithors size but Cannibal doesn't do anything during the war and never got involved so maybe they don't want to mention him. Maybe we'll see him a bit but that's it.

We're supposed to get to see 5 new dragons this season, i think they will show all 3 wild ones

@@chopthatpanda If we get Cannibal it'll just be a small look as he doesn't fight in any battle and has no effect on the war.

​@@jakewheeler6014 it would be good to see him at least once as set up for a twist revolving around a mysterious dragon death later on.

I think he only mentions those two because they are currently right beneath them in the caves at dragonstone while the others are nesting/whatever they do in the wilds nearby.

You mean duckface.

Chekhov's dragon rider

he doesn't like anything and it's annoying looking at his bored expression.

​@@dussan2 I turned into Alex for 6 months when I was on antidepressants.

He’s the type of critic that’s looking for stuff to criticize. Nobody is looking for anyone to give this show shining reviews and not say a single bad thing about the show, there are valid criticisms but when a reviewer is constantly looking for the gripes and shortcomings it makes it seem like they just have nothing much to say in terms of an actual critique.

@@LintSplinter I can understand if you are looking for crazy action every episode and found all talking and politicking boring that is fair, but to give it a 5 and say it's bad because it's not pacing and too much on the boring Daemon stuff. GTFOH.

@@LintSplinter alex has mentioned before he's playing a character to a degree, so the show isn't 3 dudes saying how great everything is

I thought she was always really bad, like why in the Harvey Weinstein was she cast in this show

@@emhu2594 she is very pretty to look at

@@fantasiazplatkami I agree for the first season but I think I’m over it this season

@@espoexpo right now this character just sits in one room and serves as Rhaenyras consultant.

Yeah my gf and I just fast forward through those parts. At least when Daemon is wandering around trippin balls we can clown on the show some.

Daemon is not being sidelinded because he was popular but because they want to make this season Aegon and Aemonds. Which sets up for later when Aemond and Daemon have their interactions.

Daemon is getting character development. Facing his decisions and how his actions hurt the people he loves and cares about and how his quest for power just hurts everyone around him. He's not being torn down because people like him, he's being torn down because he's being haunted by the ghosts of his decisions.

ok so is part 2 & 3 gonna happen this season cause that seems like a lot? How many seasons could they go with whats left in the books?

@@Cybernautz We're probably getting 4 or 5 seasons.

@@Cybernautz in my opinion, based off nothing but gut feeling... S2 Big Event was Ep4 battle. S3 Big Event will be Daemon v Aemond S4 Big Event will be Massacre at Dragon Pit.

@@Cybernautzprobably not

Come on man! Spoiler alert!

That's what a lot of content creators are doing.

They have over a million subs. No need. Would be nice tho but they paid their dues to just comment. Props

He probably hasn't so he can go back an change things if he writes himself into a corner, which I think has been happening alot hence why it's taking so long. Endings are hard, especially when you've revealed the broad strokes in the TV adaptation and everyone fucking hated it.

I agree who tf is the one talking to damen a maid or something who cares

Nah I watch both and honestly HOTD is better then GOT u sound like Alex

@@SparkzMSparkzMusik19 oh my word, actual brainrot 🤮 prisoner of what's current.

@@noelmunoz2571 lmao u live in the past buddy all that set up in GOT to end in trash 🤣

@@SparkzMSparkzMusik19 anyone who thinks house of dragon is better than game of thrones is lost beyond all hope lol.

It aint exactly cheap to film regular talking scenes either. Its 20mil per episode apparently, so having 10 episodes a season is pretty pricey.

@@Jebu911 my question is, what are the spending 20 million on per episode? sure you have to spend money every episode. that cant be avoided. but if you don't need to waste money on too much cgi, and when you do have cgi it's nothing to extravagant since there isnt that much going on. whats that 20 mill going to? i think its more they had 200 million and people just averaged it to it being 20 million they used on each episode. although that would actually be 25 per episode, but whatever. i would guess this episode didnt cost 20 million. but i don't have receipts to see what studios be wasting their budget on.

none of this is meandering.

​@@yoboyrob201 Also if Matt smith (daemon) is getting 300k-500k per episode and he aint even the main character im sure its costing a shit ton of money just to have the cast show up to filming. Also everyones salary usually gets much bigger for next season so who knows how much just having the cast around costs.

The Dance of Dragons isn’t all battles, and at this point in time Rhaenyra doesn’t even have an army so we’re not gonna get any of the huge battles until season 3 or later. Game of Thrones wasn’t battle heavy either until the later seasons when the writers ran out of books

he's still alive and around. he's riding next to cole when they show off the dragons head around the city, saying something along the lines of "if you can call that a victory" when cole wonders why the small people aren't impressed they won the battle.

No the show is obsessed with Rhaenyra and Allicent as its leads and it needs to let the two of them go as they're ultimately just two characters in a much larger narrative.

Why even watch a 30+ minute long review before watching the episode that has been out since monday? 😂

@@Peer165 ??? I'm talking about Angry Joe and Alex consistently mentioning spoilery stuff from the book that 99 % of the people watching these reviews don't want to hear. Is this a review of the book or the show? Is Game of Thrones not the last show on earth you'd want to spoil because of how wild and unpredictable it can be? Of course I watched the episode before clicking on this video lmao.

@@litguru4748Fair.

its crazy the lack of attention span people have.

Plus less episodes, so seems like they should have more or better content to make up for it

@@user-zt1fj3kn6i Member when shows had ten episodes or more every year? 😔

GOT had entire seasons where nothing substantial happened. Just more and more minor characters were introduced without any progress on the major arcs. And major characters off doing stuff that ultimately had no relevance to the end. Rewatching GOT now, and there are a lot of brutally boring episodes. The only thing that has me a bit bored now is the Daemon-Witch-Harranhal stuff which I admit is a bit aimless at this point.

To be fair, GOT involved many Houses. Covered Westeros and surrounding continents. HOTD is specific to House Targaryen. How the dragons fell. Disappeared from the land (and sky) scape.

​@burddog0792 blasphemy Trying to get the dragons after us? Lol

That wasn’t Aemma that was daemons mother

@@kylelancianese5527 That was the actress who played Aemma.

@@jakewheeler6014 are you blind?? Look Again

@@jakewheeler6014 They literally say its his mother.

@@jakewheeler6014you are indeed blind sir

Lol Alex’s face when he said sunfyre is important to the story 🤣 idk if you remember game of thrones, after every season they would drop an animated lore video about different things in the world, and they dropped a 20 minute video on the dance of dragons like 10 years ago, and spoiled the whole show for me. Then I read the book a few years later and couldn’t wait to see it all on TV lol

I swear i saw Sunfyre still breathing when Cole walks up to the crash scene. Just some body movement that gave me that impression.

Sunfyre has a special meal planned

@@HufflepuffDaddyhe’s fine , he just gotta eat a special meal😈

I think the “green” dragons will prevent them

other dragons, presumably ballistae

dragons. each side is very cautious to deploy any dragons because the other side will also have them and you might end up losing them

The answer was in episode 4

Because the other side has dragons too.

Otto and vaserys are among the best characters in got universe

Ya it’s like she didn’t even die. I thought I’d see a tense council scene about how they absolutely failed but they just breezed by it

I give them a pass on it because they’re also trying to tell a story here in a limited amount of time, again like you said pacing.

@@tylerrbh9769 its a war you cannot spend all the time grieving. the episode did show corlys grieving, same with rhaenyra, the council immediatly talks about that event in the firs minutes of the episode.
