I CANNOT Wait for MORE! House of the Dragon Season 2 Trailer REACTION 

There are experienced talented people working on House of the Dragon, including the author of the novel. On Wigs of Power there's woke DEI lunatics with no experience (and probably many small companies they own having contracts with Amazon Studios to leech as much money as possible), including the head of Amazon Studios, Jennifer Salke that has a self insert shoved into the show as the main character, because narcissism can't be tamed.

I like Oz

@@hamdinger7145 same same

they need a rewatch

Doesn't help that one of the Targs ancestral valyrian steel swords is also called Blackfyre lol. George doesn't make it easy to follow for sure.

@@keynanvarnado7592 Trust me, he's doing his best. Have you seen the names of nobles in the HRE? Ottos and Henrys everywhere, there's even brothers with the same bloody name, it's crazy.

​@@keynanvarnado7592 what do you mean? House blackfire got its name from the sword😅

@keifahdefreitas1321 I know, I'm just noting how much George reuses names which is realistic for the medeival time period he uses as inspiration but it can easily create confusion for the reader/viewer. Even a sicko hardcore fanboy can get various Targs confused easily.

@blackfyre/ velaryon. I actually think it was a racist dig..... He does it again @15:20 gerult of Syria. I enjoy Shad, but racist digs should not be acceptable on his channel. So what Steve Toussant is black and not white, get over it.

Yup and that's where the birth of Blood Raven is.

Not really a cadet branch. Aegon the Fourth legitimized all his "great bastards" (bastards he had with noble or royal women) on his death bed. Daemon Waters' mother was Targaryen, too, and Aegon the Fourth had already given him the sword Blackfyre as a sign of his favor. After being legitimized, he took Blackfyre as his house name.

Rings of bezos xD

Nah he's right

@@Hero_Of_Old aw poor triggered snowflakes

@@Hero_Of_Old He's not, these aren't "blackfyre", these are Velaryons, and they are also from Valyria, no one knows how demographics worked in Valyria, knowing how racially diverse is Essos, it makes a lot of sense that Valyrians are also diverse, with the common trait of having platinum hair.

@@fleisbester612 I didn't expect to meet someone else in this comment section who share's my head canon about this. I've been saying the exact same thing since the lead up to season 1

@@fleisbester612 Not to defend him speaking without knowing the lore, but velaryons are literally described in ASOIAF and they are not black at all, the velaryon bastard Aurane waters gets his position because he reminds Cersei of Rhaegar and she thinks that's hot. We know for a fact this is a retcon and lore wise they shouldn't be black

Oz is speshal, please be nice.

It's funny because I felt like they were meant to rule but together not one over the other. I can see strength in both factions.

@@kaludgo5811 Nope for their flaws overshadows their strength for is their hunger for power, superiority complexes due to them having dragons and the incest DNA that slowly consumes several members with each generation and not to mention what happened to Luke in the finale of season 1. No for the Dance of the Dragons Civil War will be a turning point for House Targrayen and not in a good way and it is all due to the accursed Iron Throne. Ruling together was never on the cards for them.

@@BucketheadChuckhe is a dragonseed lol

Alyn Velaryon, his brother is Addam of Hull, bastards of Corlys Velaryon, they fouht for Rhaenyra.

@@Caraxes_RoguePrince He is one of the only who doesnt claim any dragon. The actor that claims Seasmoke is another one. They are brother . The dragonseeds are Addam of Hull, Hugh Hammer, Ulf the White and Nettles. The guy here is Alyn of Hull which does get one.

@@Alejojojo6 bruh alyn is a dragonseed he just not a rider lmao look it up he’s still a Valyrian bastard and if you look up dragonseeds he’s literally listed there with his brother along with the others you mentioned

Wait what? lmao, Westeros was literally conquered and unified ("Seven Kingdoms") by a foreign entity (Valyrians, more specifically Targeryens but they had help from houses Velaryons and Celitgar). The Targeryens, as Kings of Westeros we're accepted and integrated into the society, keeping Andal traditions and imposing some of their own like their ability to marry siblings. Also, like the Targeryens, the Velaryons are not native to Westeros... how can their presence "not be a good representation for that world"? You do realise the Roman empire as an example, also encompassed Northern Africa? St. Moses Black, St. Athansius, St. Augustine and countless, we're Africans (not native to Europe) LONG prior to the medieval period (pre-400ad) that had cultural impact and within Europe and are still venerated today lol. You're imposing a rather modern liberal perspective of history on the show, as opposed to an actual historical take. Dourne is also quite literally part of Westeros...meaning Westeros isn't racially a monolith - theres no debating that. Culture is far more important than race interms of prejudice, you see examples of this within the show where people from the North are portrayed and seen as savages by others further down in places like the Westerlands/Crownlands. Dourne wasn't hated for their race, they we're hated for refusing to acquiesce to Targeryen rule when forming Kingdom which led to all the Dornish wars; As well as their style of fighting (Guerilla warfare), was seen as disingenuous/lacking honour.

it was more meant for the book readers. We notice a lot.

Yes, OZ sounded a little bit racist. I mean it’s fiction at the end of the day. If he has issues with black people he will struggle to enjoy this fantasy TV show. More black characters will take centre stage this upcoming season. Daemon’s daughters (Baela & Rhaena) Corlys Bastard sons (Adam and Alyn)!! He just needs to think out of the box, I re-interact, it’s fantasy show not real life story based on people who lived in Medieval European times!!

@@rudzanimunyai2090 he sounded more ignorant not really racist to me actually

@@levilevi9621 I suppose 🤍

"House Velaryon is descended from the ancient Valyrians and its members possess traditional Valyrian characteristics such as silver hair, violet eyes, and pale skin" Oz isn't racist or ignorant. He's being consistent with the lore.

@@MAnnnooo1 oz doesn’t even know the lore. He got every point about it wrong in the video. That’s my point. It’s ironic that’s the thing he complained about when he can’t even keep his facts straight. Yes that was a change the show made, but Shad is right about it enhancing the conflict because of the added embarrassment for Rhaenyra.

Viserys?

I liked how it showed an entire kingdom will pretend to believe in something they obviously all know is a lie, just because admitting the lie would tear the kingdom apart (and cost them their lives). It made it more Orwellian.

@@frankvandorp9732In the book, its not so obvious as the kids are white with a dark haired grandmother. The whole plot around them and the rumours the hightowers spread is so much better done

@@frankvandorp9732 I get that take, but, in reality, vying powers would never have let the charade go on as long as it did. Themes and narratives are fine, but what made ASOIAF so great was the realism (and the expert writing) I still love the show (1 episode aside) but I do think it could have been improved had it stuck to the lore.
