Daemon Targaryen is a polarizing character. You love him or you hate him, There is no middle ground. Matt Smith is doing an amazing job capturing the essence of the very complex and gray character. House of the Dragon Season 2 will air June 16th and I want to talk about the Real last dragonlord king consort Daemon Targaryen. In this video I will explain exactly why I love Daemon Targaryen. How about you?

As a Targaryen loyalist, I love Daemon because he embodies his house words and acts like a true targaryen

@MCrvngraddip2013 Месяц назад

Yes I 100% agree 🔥 & 🩸

@copperhead2694 Месяц назад

Yes , totally agree .. he embodies being the Dragon . It’s way he can be a villain to some and a Hero to others .

@yhulie Месяц назад

I can't believe Viserys weak ass really listened to Otto Hightower and essentially betrayed his brother and Rhaenyra. Daemon as Hand and married to Rhaenyra House Targaryen would've continued to thrive to unimaginable lengths.

rhenys and corlys sitting on the throne would have prospered further because coryls made his house ritch he would have made the 7 kingdoms richer.

@MissGrandeko Месяц назад

Girl what are people not getting??!?! 😭😭😭 characters are reflections to the humans around us, nobody is all good or all bad, and we all have justifications for the things we do. Now are those justifications always solid? No, lol, but that’s what makes us human? So why can’t people comprehend that Daemon is an extremely gray character and that’s what makes him so much fun. So dynamic and frustrating. Sometimes you’re rooting for him and sometimes you’re disappointed in him. That’s the point of fiction 😭😭😭 we have lost nuance

@Deltadivaix Месяц назад

i love how daemon and rhaenera are both SO targaryen, they love speaking high valerian (i'm sorry i have no idea how to spell all the names), love the customs, traditions and are so comfortable in their own skin. I love daemon as a character, but.. i don't like it when he is rough with rhaenera and i am afraid of his "half mad" side. i adore rhaenera.

A true Gray character. I feel like Daemon sacrificed himself and Aemon one eye so his son could become king. Keep up the great work.

@jessjess23brooks89 29 дней назад

@rowanjoy419 Месяц назад

Also I hate how people blame Rhaenyra because Daemon killed Vaemond Velaryon, like the guy just insulted his wife and is working with Otto. I think most of the fandom sees Team Green as just Alicent and forget that Alicent got there because Otto set her with Viserys.

@copperhead2694 Месяц назад

@shockwave1126 Месяц назад

One way or another, Daemon is about getting the job done by being a dragon. Agree with Grayarea, you can’t be a softie in ruthless world,

@tonysled6796 Месяц назад

I would argue Daemon restrained himself in so many respects. For example If you consider in the show and Fire and Blood Vol 1 Daemon is shown to have superior knowledge of Dragon eggs, hatching, bonding and piloting. He could have used the Goldcloaks to take control of the city at any moment then raise his own force with a host of dragon riders. Especially when House Velaryon was opposing the wishes of the King's Hand. really happy you are back Gray!

@AntoineVello Месяц назад

@cjlj108 Месяц назад

Omg I literally said Daemon was similar the vampire Lestat too!! I literally said it at the same time! 🤣🤣 Both are diabolical but its always for a reason and to claim what is rightfully there's. Also, loved your comparison to Tyrion, never thought about them being similar before but I'm sure Tyrion would be happy to know he was comparable to the Ultimate Dragon.

"Daemon it's an anti-hero" My imagination: Daemon singing "it's me! Hi! I'm the problem, it's me!"

@icamfam7080 Месяц назад

Daemon is the closest thing we will get on screen to Aegon the conquerer!

@rowanjoy419 Месяц назад

Thank to say that he is similar to Tyrion, because even tho I didn't see this comparison coming, Since the 1st time I saw Tyrion in Got, I was like "he is very cunning and can manipulate when he wants to, or be very upfront and confrontational, he definitely likes chaos" but I think people didn't see that because they saw the kind heart he had for people he thought were similar to him, like Bran being disable and John being a bastard.

You are so right. Daemon is doing everything right and people keep not listening to him and nothing he does is being appreciated. And theyre all gonna pay for it and there's nothing he can do. I totally feel him.

@areebariz1639 Месяц назад

The more show's creator or "fans" try to stop folks from loving this already adored character (literally ever since Fire and blood came out), the MORE I'm gonna love him! At everyyyyy cost! I don't even care anymore! I'll honestly enjoy his character no matter what he does

@princedavid88 Месяц назад

It is clear the show runners favor Rhaenyra's camp.

@burntorangehorn Месяц назад

@@princedavid88 True, but they've done a decent job of portraying both camps as grey. It's also true that, in the book, Archmaester Gyldayn's narrative is written with a pro-Green slant, consistently favoring rumor/innuendo over fact-or vice versa-depending on which side it portrays in a better light. Show Daemon is still grey, but certainly a far clearer anti-hero in the show than in text.

@FernandoStarkTargaryen Месяц назад

I agree with you 100%, the show is making him seem way to evil and without any actual development. He is both good and evil, but it feels like it is more evil. Very accurate on how Tyrion and Jaime Lannister as one person would be Daemon Targaryen, he is the baddie we all love to hate 😂 Love seeing new material from you gurl, you’re doing amazing 🫶🏻♥️

@isabellajensen9480 Месяц назад

I don’t think Jaime needs a redemption ark. The actor said Jaime sacrificed his honour to save king’s landing, he’s like Ned in a way, he did the right thing and doesn’t seek to redeem himself, they will both take their sacrifice to the grave, that’s real honor

He is not my favorite Targaryen but he is fun to watch. Matt did a great job of bringing him to life. Otto was so afraid of Daemon being the next Maegor the Cruel, that he did not realize it was his grandson Aemond The Kin Slayer who was headed in that direction if given enough time.

People who argue about Daemon´s "moral" don´t realize it is all about the middle ages. A time with a different mind set. Was William the conqueror a Hero or a Villain? Great men are very complex and gray characters who dare to do what is needed to survive: "you win or you die".
