There is a lot to love about the House of the Dragon, and what stood out to me the most was the consistency and nuance of the acting- with Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, and Olivia Cooke all giving exemplary performances, rivaling even the best of Game of Thrones. But to me, it was King Viserys, and the performance of Paddy Considine, that was truly the highlight of the show, and maybe my favorite fantasy performance ever.

"your portrayal of this character is better than my written version of the character" is huge praise from any authour, but to come from grr martin, a man who's writing is a level above most writers of the past couple decades, really is something else

@HisameArtwork 8 дней назад

firstly I don't think George put much effort into Viserys since he was focused on other characters, but even if he had, Paddy knocked it out of the park. Making likeable passive characters is super hard, but it's easier if it's male. Making passive female characters now is considered misogynistic not just boring, just look at what they say about Sofia Coppola's work.

@FupaDoncic Месяц назад

When even the author says your portrayal of a character is better than the source material. Paddy should’ve got every reward. Him rotting was actually believable. The throne scene gives me chills.

@goldfishmentality Месяц назад

I think what hit me the most was that amidst all the bloodshed, intense politics, and massive stakes, it's the role of father and brother that Viserys cares about the most. It shook me to my core when he stood before his entire family pleading for them to get along, not as a house, but as a FAMILY. It was something that I had never wanted from HOTD or GOT, but it was something I now know it has always needed.

@bisma1352 Месяц назад

Yeah this is what sets hotd apart from GOT, it's first and foremost about a family failing to stay one even before the dragons the politcs and throne. I guess the name having house in it while they live in castles is intended for this theme too. I wish they don't forget this and make this show go down the drain like GOT as well

@winkoman3 Месяц назад

My favorite scene of his was the one he had with his hand, Lord Strong, just as he was coming to understand his death was inevitable. He asks Lord Strong how he will be remembered, considering that he never faced any great victories or great defeats. He goes on to say that he wishes that he was tested in his rule, that he wonders what kind of man he might've become if he was tested. It's such a relatable and human fear, to be unremarkable.

@DreamersOfReality Месяц назад

It was such a melancholic scene to me. Our cultures value the "exceotional", the great, the mighty and powerful... they fear being meek and unremarkable... When it is the unremarkable and those content with simple lives of simple pleasure, who are most happy. Chasing greatness for its own sake only ever leaves a wake of corpses.

A very problematic and hated character by the ASOIAF fandom - but Paddy Consindine's acting was so good and he gave so much depth and complexity to a very bland and forgetable character of Fire & Blood that he became one of my favorite characters of HOTD. Even GRRM himself said Paddy's Viserys is BETTER than his own Viserys in Fire & Blood, and I agree.

At the time of the first season airing, my father was getting weaker from a stroke he has suffered a decade prior and he had died the day the final episode of season 1 aired. Paddy's portrayal had me laughing and relating to Viserys as the season went on where I saw a lot of my father in the character were the scenes in which that last episode always has me tearing up. I think what made Viserys stand out was because Paddy portrays him as man who knew he was standing on the shoulders of giants but never could match up to the greatness he inhierted where he tried to do his best with the situation provided, but even he believed those decisions were not good enough despite being the reasonable option at the time. Paddy brought humanity to a character who came off as a joke in the books where the fact he never got awards for it is still an insane travesty.

I'm surprised you didn't mention his performance in the episode with Aegon's birthday festivities, what he does there is so stunning. The whole bit killing the stag is just perfection - the dismounting the horse with the steps, the tied up animal, having to strike it twice, the other characters' reactions, and the perfect way he conveys his embarrassment but trying to save face, knowing everyone sees but pretends not too see... Hard to have a stand out episode in a perfect season, but I really love that one.

Paddy Considine and his performance as Viserys was especially touching and emotional for me. Viserys in his final years reminded me greatly of my grandpa who was also slowly dying and being in chronic pain for the last 10-15 years of his life. He was diagnosed with cancer at 50. Doctors didn't want to treat him because it was to late stage. His family convinced the doctors to help him in the end and likely extending his life by 15 years because of that. A few months before he passed away I visited him. Sat next to him in his bed looking at him and knowing that he really did not have long left. Seeing Viserys bedridden, so skinny and deathly sick was really personal but not in a terrible way. Considine is also on the Autistic Spectrum and being on the Spectrum myself and finding this out was so wholesome and inspiring. Because of all of that, Viserys become my favourite character in the Game of Thrones universe.

It's wild seeing one of the Andrews from Hot Fuzz give 110% performance in a character not many have read about -- however being one of if not the greatest honorable King in the history of Westeros and he didn't want the damned thing.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Bravo. As an enthusiast of the power and beauty of words, your mastery of the language is poetry to me. There is nothing more satisfying to me in this medium than a well thought out and carefully crafted examination of what makes art resonate with us. Specifically, as evidenced when I find myself thinking, "yeah... that's exactly how I feel... I just didn't know how to describe it." You've more than earned my like and subscription, for whatever that is worth.

It is truly amazing how much his breath work adds to the performance. It is captivating in every scene he is in once his sickness becomes the focal point. Season 2 is missing something and I think Paddy not being in it is that thing I miss.

The GOAT.

I absolutely loved and still love Viserys. To me its like he is one of the view living flowers on a dead field. The actor is insanely talented, I can't even put it into words.

Paddy Considine pretty much acted his socks off, in season 1 and that's saying something, considering how great the performances of the rest of the cast are in this show.

Insanity that HBO chose to ride with the Succession guy over Considine for that year's Emmys. Absolute insanity.

One of the reasons I know how good this performance was is that it takes a second or even third watch to notice the horrific special effects makeup on his body (until the take away half of his face) because you're mesmerized by his presence.
