Game of Thrones - "House Of The Dragon" Official Threads (NO SPOILERS....ZERO)

[Tasha And]

is that how it happened in the book? Dragon didnt listen to Aemond? am i allowed to ask that question?

In the book, Aemond means to kill Luke. So how did you decide to shift it to an accident instead?

Historians have told us that Aemond intended to kill Luke, but I don’t think any of them could purport to know what was going on in Aemond’s head the time. And I would also dispute the word “accident” a bit. I mean, Aemond got on his giant dragon and chased his nephew on his much smaller dragon through the clouds screaming and yelling at him, incensing his dragon and starting a fight. He didn’t know how Arrax or Luke were going to respond, and it ended in tragedy. I don’t think that was what Aemond intended when he threw his leg over the saddle, but he did a horrible, dangerous thing. That is the point: This is a war of many cuts that lead to a really, really bloody wound. It adds complexity and nuance to the character that’s potentially interesting. There’s lots of runway to go on with Aemond as a character and the story of the Dance. This is his first act as a dragon rider and a warrior and it’s gone very wrong. Now what happens as a result, and how does he respond? Those are the questions I’m interested in as dramatist.

The dragons went into business for themselves

Was this the first time we've been to Storm's End on the show? I can't remember going there in the OG show

I knew that boy Luke was done for. That baby ass dragon had not even completed the NFL combine yet

We saw it earlier in episode 4 when the Blackwood killed the Bracken. DIdn't get a chance to see the outside though.

That was basically my point before, you don't chase him down unless you're intending to kill him. Such a weird decision.

His explanation for why it was shown as an accident is close to D&D levels. Making it a "whoopsy daisy" doesn't automatically make Aemond nuanced or complex. Like @dora_da_destroyer was saying, it looks like their cheap attempt to make complex characters ala GOT.

Dope first season

This boy Luke was shytting his pants at the beginning of the episode…he never should have been sent to deal with a prideful Baratheon

Gotta say I felt absolutely nothing when Luke died. No connection to his character at all .
When Robb Stark died I was like

What an ep

I love the slight differences in characters motivations. Aemond seemed shook he killed him. His dragon just got pissed.

ALICENT DIDNT WANT
ANYONE TO DIE AND AEMOND
IS THE OBEDIENT CHILD.

HE WAS JUST fukkING AROUND,
SCARING HIM.

it's weird to think the budget for this is less than the LOTR show...


the CGI weirdly looks more "realistic" idk if they use more practical effects or what... but i prefer the look of this show. LOTR had some cool shyt, but in general it felt like fake clear CGI at certain points.


dragons look soooo much better in this show than the ones in GOT did too.

THE DRAGONS LOOKED
TERRIBLE IN THIS EPISODE.

WHAT YALL BE WATCHING
THIS shyt ON?

Turn off motion smoothing if you watch this on a TV.

It add frames when there isn't

 

[Black_Jesus]
