Poor Viserys can’t catch a break, Paddy Considine is fantastic. I don’t own anything, just mashed some things together for fun.
Update after 100k views: I'm so glad to see more people than just me appreciate Viserys, enjoy Paddy's wonderful performance, and are loving this show. - Zábava
The man just wants to be left alone to build his lego set of kings landing
*Valyria
Surely Aegon will destroy the Lego after he is crowned😜
Viserys just gave up at the end
Facts
Of Old Valyria
Viserys is literally the only chill Targaryen in the Dynasty. He doesn't care his grand children are bastards. He just wants to be a normal grandpapa
That's his problem, he doesn't care and ignores everything But the lords under him are not going to ignore such things, and problems pile up leading to war and the innocent pay for the King's stupidity.
@@caesar.emperor Sadly that is correct in the later future
@@caesar.emperor He was too good of a person to be a king
I think he does care. He attends all small council meetings, he regularly sits the throne to delegate authority, and every major decision is that is made by lords in his council or realm in general, he’s had some say in. He’s a decent ruler. The issue is that he should’ve never kept Otto as his hand. The Dance of Dragons was gonna break out regardless because Otto was plotting against the princess to use his grandsons to take the throne. Otto started this mess the moment he told Alicent to wear her mothers dress to King Viserys bed chambers
He would have been happier as a "country lord" building his Lego set and chilling with his grandkids, hotd biggest problem is people forcing unfit ruleres to rule, like aegon, the dude has mede it clear that he doesn't want it and people literally dragged him to his coronation
He wasn’t a bad king, he just had a big heart and a bunch of assholes around him
Just like King T'Chaka said to T'Challa, "its hard for a good man to be king"
He's not bad but he was weak as a decision maker. He tried to please everyone and that ultimately led to the shitstorm that followed. Listening to your council is good but to be manipulated by them is not.
Viserys is a good man but Daemon is a demons with a heart.
He WAS a bad King. He was unable to make tough decisions and just hoped they would sort themselves out by playing nice.
He was (at least for the world of Ice and Fire) a good man, but an awful leader until he was backed into a corner.
@@gezenews He did send them away, but then his right hand man was burned alive in a plot by his son and he had to bring Otto back because he was his father in law.
"The boy just turned two, Otto" was his best line ngl
lmao killed me
The "YESSSSS..." from otto right after killed me 😭😭😂💀
No matter how ridiculous that sounds it was not bad advice it could have delayed a Civil War
@@blazeblade761 not even ridiculous, if you consider the age gap between Daemon and Rhaenyra 🤷🏻♀️
@HachikFly I think in the books iam not really sure about the show but in the books is around 16 years
The fact that George RR Martin himself said that Viserys was far better in the show than he was in the books shows just how phenomenal of an actor Paddy is and how good the writing staff are.
Indeed. The show will not be the same without Viserys and Paddy who portrayed him.
He is so good George has said he’s contemplating rewriting fire and blood to write this viserys in
@@dylanbell268 he'd better finish the books up before that XD!
We can hope lol
@@cristinademartini6653 My sweet summer child... :D
"YOU ARE MY POLITICAL HEADACHE" was delivered so perfectly.
Love it

The political headache he created by himself.
@@LifeInPink999I think Aemma helped as well
@@DynoMANTVteenage daughters in particular 😂
It was said that the day Prince Visereys was born, his hair was as black as the scales of Balerion… but the day Prince Daemon spoke his first word, strand by strand the man’s hair whitened 😂
It's also said that Viserys was a loud babe that laughed a lot especially when his mother took him for rides on her dragon Meleys, but yeah that's funny. I have to spend the next 50 years being stressed by this rugrat😂😂😂
Did you make this up? If so 👏👏
@@nimzakrood Yes it is, Viserys always had white hair, but Daemon surely contributed in its whitening.
@@MasterOfTheElementsohhh I get it 😂😂 bc he stresses the old man out
@@muffinmonster2634 😂😂😂
All jokes aside, Paddy has been phenomenal as Viserys.
He must be nominate and win the Emmy for this role. He and Olivia Cooke.
Yeah paddy fucking killed it
I knew this would be a good casting after seeing him in peaky blinders
@@SparkGuam he was in the death of stalin too a small role but memorable
He’s been one of the best actors on this stacked cast.
Viserys angrily eating chicken while looking at Rhaenyra and Daemon will always crack me up
Sir that chicken is already dead 😂
5:46
''if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, i'm gonna have to eat every fucking chicken in this room''
I bet if he had spotted them kissing and then them running off, he would have absolutely lost it.If they did get to dragonstone before he could have them caught in kinglanding, he would have been absolutely pissed.And so would the Velaryons.I imagine Viserys would probably want Rhaenyra disinherited after that, as he already gave her multiple chances, let her choose her own suitor which she failed and cut her tour short, she snubbed his most powerful ally, and ran off at her own wedding with all the lords there.That would be the final straw, you can see how angry he is and how displeased he looks, he only ignored it because of the fight and then the fact she did marry Laenor anyway.And Daemon? either he banishes him, or forbids him to ever leave Driftmark with Laena who he will marry again.
I thought it was lobster
Viserys is the embodiment of that Ben Affleck smoking meme
as Otto would say: YEEEEEESSS
Amazing 😂😂
If only tobaccos existed in Westeros, Viserys would be smoking a lot LMFAO
That "I give up" at the end was SO on point. Poor Viserys 😫😂
I agreed
Yeah, he's like, "Just let me die, so all of you can do whatever you all want!"
@@syukrinasir3774And that's exactly what they did
"YOU ARE MY POLITICAL HEADACHE" has me SCREAMING every time. What was Ned Stark's line? "War was easier than daughters"?
Gents, we want to be Daemon, but there is a Viserys in all of us.
I would much rather be a Viserys than a Daemon
@@lucasistrom me too.
I wish I was more Viserys, i was so Deamon when I was younger that I half regret it now
@@yseson_
You thought you were a Daemon.
Agreed.
They’re stressing that man to an early grave 🤣 love Paddy tho glad he’s getting more recognition
Now that i'm watching what he's being through, i can say that i understand a little more why Robert didn't give a shit about ruling and left it to other people LOL!
@@cristinademartini6653 Everyone wants to be king, generally speaking, until they inherit the crown
@@lordofchaos97 robert didn't want to. He was advised to do so by Jon Arryn, who was like a father to him.
@@cristinademartini6653 If only they didnt kill Aegon. They would have made him king, and Robert would have just gone back to Storm's End
@@minecraftherobrine1234 But what about Stannis? He hates being on the sideline.
I love the technique of smiling when he's REALLY pissed. Somehow scarier-- even though in the end Viserys can't bring the hammer down on any of those bloodsuckers.
Same
Who should he have punished harder? His brother? his daughter? his wife?
I will say one moment he should have carried out punishment was after Aemond lost an eye. No, he should not have taken Luke's eye, but I believe he should have taken his dragon; as Aemond himself said, he considered trading his eye for a dragon a fair transaction. That would have been justice without mutilation.
He kicked Daemon
@@HashBandicoot356 I do agree that Luke should’ve been at least been given a punishment.
Dunno about taking a dragon, that would be sacrilegious to Viserys as a Targaryen. Maybe being whipped?
@@sonamtashi7706 Well to be fair that situation escalated to the point that it did because Aemon called the boys bastards, a treasonous (albeit true) statement, and one that anyone else would've lost their tongue over. So, as far as the king's justice is concerned, I think everyone got what they deserved. Not to mention Luke wasn't the antagonist, he was defending his brothers/cousins, so I'm not sure what there is to be punished for.
Honestly, while he’s not the best king, you just want to hug him for having to put up with all this bs
Tbh, Westeros only had 2 or 3 good king's in all the history, and i think Viserys is probably one of them.
@@jasonturner6041 Maegor the Great

@@jasonturner6041 He was not a good king, maybe a good or decent man, but he sowed the seeds of the dance.
VISERYS' FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE HILARIOUS
5:46 the way he’s cutting up his food 🤣🤣🤣. He was already in a mood then he sees his daughter with Daemon 😂😅
"Something's wrong, my family is all here and it's somehow too peacef.... aaah fuck there it is"
Your comment make the scene and this cut of it x10 better, I keep coming back to this video for it 😂😂🤣🥰🥰
Look at the step mom too.😂😂
"The boy just turned 2 Otto"
I love his delivery
Honestly the way Viserys is just like "Why is it everytime I leave to take a shit one of you is doing something awful or trying to make some adult marry a child the fuck?!" Is probably the most appropriate reaction to Westeros shenanigans
Who can blame him? Man just wants an easy life and literally everyone around him seeks to take it away from him 😂😂😂arguably the most sympathetic King in the thrones universe.
He just wanted to play with his fucking lego
I would argue Aegon V is slightly more so. He knew his House was weak, and had made strategic betrothals to bind important Houses to the throne, and then his kids fuck everything up.
@@edmeister4031 I like Egg as well, but he did set the example of marrying for love which his kids just followed, and he probably tried to burn most of his family alive at Summerhall so he could get a dragon and make some based reforms. Cool motive, still murder.
He didn’t even want to be king lol. He was so far down the line for him to even envy the position. Then the universe said “watch this” 😅
@@edmeister4031 Aegon the IV was more sympathetic.
honestly after watching game of thrones and hearing about targaryen kings being crazy tyrants i thought this guy would be nuts cuz he is the first targaryen king we are seeing on screen but he's better than any king we saw in game of thrones lol like let the man make his lego castle in peace
Majority of Targaryen kings were good, even the "mad" King for most of his life was a pretty good king, he ended up getting captured and tortured for 8 months, when he got rescued he wasn't the same man and became paranoid that everyone wanted to kill him. There are like 5 bad kings of which 2 were just ruthless (but if you read fire&blood it was kind of needed). In total the Targaryen dynasty had like 75 kings
@@cl-hx idk how many times I have had to discuss this. It’s nice hearing someone else say it
Plenty of good Targeryen Kings. Especially the Conciliator.
The reputation of the Targayrens is greatly overexaggerated. At most, there are 5 Targaryen kings that can be considered mad and even that’s kind of pushing it
@@John-xr9ry The coin thing is pure Lanister propaganda
His main headache is daemon rhaenyra and now alicent 🤣🤣🤣
Otto was a headache too
The pain Viserys is in is ridiculous... hes like can I have a fuckin minute ?!?!?!?
Viseys just wanted to keep the realm peaceful as he had inherited it. But while mourning his wife and child, he had to deal with a self interested hand, a rouge prince and an angsty teenage girl who was his only heir. Viserys loved Rhae but once she hit puberty he had no idea how to handle her lol. Viserys only downfall was believing that everyone would instantly accept her just cause he said so. He should’ve enforced his decision more so no one would challenge him.
or simply, when Rhae was being in her teeenage rebellion, he should have dishenerited her and make his son Aegon heir: that's for sure what i would do in his place. But we know the story, and as master Aemond says, "Love is the end of Duty".
I think his biggest mistake was naming Rhaenrya heir AND having more children. That should have been an either or deal. Once he had a son, he HAD to know that was going to split the court after his death. And ironically, while his whole agenda in making Rhaenrya heir was to keep Daemon from the throne, she ended up marrying him which Viserys should have at least seen as kind of predictable
@@TheJadedJames yes, i agree.
@@TheJadedJames he had no choice. During those times its extremely important to produce spare heirs since life expectancy is so short.
@@dannyboy4140 He had a choice. If he was planning on making more children then he shouldn’t have named Rhanerya the heir. I get why his fear of Daemon made him jump to the decision, but it was naive to think that he wasn’t putting Rhanerya in the very dangerous position of having her claim challenged. The only way she could have ruled smoothly was if Daemon remained the only male competitor
King Viserys is greatest comedy relief act since the Walder Frey.
The difference is that while you wish for Walder Frey a horrible death, you want hug Viserys and console him. Or at least that's me xD!
@@cristinademartini1284 same

2:20 there’s something about the way Matt Smith says “ten yeeeaars” that’s satisfying for some reason🤣🤣
I thought I was the only one who's ears were blessseddd after hearing that lmao
He did 10 years in the can, wanted to fly a dragon, he compromised
His brother visy, 47, just a kid
It’s crazy how Daemon was pretty much right about Otto all along, and Viserys was too blind to see it. Such a good show.
don’t equate Daemon’s correctness about Otto with him deserving any sort of praise. he was a horrible, rotted, morally corrupt human being who only had his own interests within his non existent heart and basically groomed his niece her whole life before seducing and marrying her. horrendous individual and it’s honestly concerning that GRRM says Daemon is his fav character.
I think he did see it sometimes, but didn't want to admit it. Especially after marrying Alicent.
@@dukeofburkhalter because good characters can still be morally corrupt. This is GRRM we're talking about. This is not a disney movie with good guys and bad guys. Daemon is complex character with his own ambitions and agendas, but to say he has a nonexistent heart is just straight up wrong. He is both good and bad, just like real life. You can say the same thing about any ruler in real life history. He's my favrite character from DoD as well, and the fact you think it's "concerning" to enjoy complex, morally grey characters says more about you than us.
He did eventually.
Viserys was not a fool, he knows that everyone lord in his court has their own interests and agenda. He says as much to Rhenyra himself
Viserys I is probably my favorite character. every scene you feel like you're rooting for him
everyone is #teamgreen or #teamblack, but i am #teamviserys, or even more #teamgiveviserysabreak.
Except ep 1, i thought im going to hate him but here i am now rooting for him
Go #TeamWatchOutFromTheNorth!
Paddy absolutely stole the season with his acting
He's my favourite character too.
1:23 100% wrong. Daemon is a lot of things. But he would never intentionally hurt his big brother. The love he has for Viserys and Rhaenyra are two of his only redeeming qualities.
those and his cheekbones
The man can’t catch a break lol😂
Viserys the Sane King. Surrounded by madness.
Yep. He was indeed.
He's dealing with everyone's bullshit while dying from a thousand infected cuts from the iron throne.
Viserys didn't die from a horrible disease, he just had enough of everyone else and their BS.
Smh when you just want to build your old valyria Lego set but your second wife,your brother and your daughter turn everything into a shit show
And your kids and your daughters' kids are seconds away from murdering each other. Honestly even if he didn't have leprosy, Viserys would die of heart attack by the time Luke and Jace hit their early 20s. The stress on that man because his entire family is either short sighted, rebellious for the sake of rebellious, or downright evil
Bless Viserys' sweet poor heart. This man deserves the much-needed and much-wanted peace that he probably will never get.
Also props to Paddy for making him so likable and unintentionally funny! He's face expressions are always on point 😂
"She's twelve!" And "...the boy just turned two, Otto..." perfect delivery from Paddy Considine. Viserys is the only character in both shows that reacts appropriately to all this fuckery
No wonder he chose Alicent😂😂. The lesser of two evils.
Can we just root for Viserys to not die cuz he’s hilarious 😂
He just wants to be a happy grandpa and these ingrates wont let him. He knows his first batch are bastards and he doesn't give a shit lol.

Especially when so many complaints sound like “he’s a decent person and has the audacity to not be terrible! All the terrible people are correct in challenging his non ethically abhorrent decisions!” Lmaoooo
I can't afford shoes
I feel like the perfect king that Westeros needs is someone like Tywin, but Jaehaerys and Aegon V Targaryen are much better kings in my opinion.
@@MasterOfTheElements Tywin was a complete a$$hole! He let monsters like Gregor run around committing unspeakable atrocities, he destroyed entire houses, betrayed people left and right and seemed like nothing would be beneath him to do if it gained him an advantage. You can live under his rule, I'll choose someone else thank you!
@@MasterOfTheElements Daeron is the best imo. Not only is he the true first king of the 7 full kingdoms, he had badass children that was smart and capable. Baelor would have probably been also great, maekar would be a strong hand. Aerys would be smart enough to give advice, Rhaegel would be...umm dancing?
While it is his very death (I don't think it's a spoiler at this point that the 1st season boils down to waiting for him to keel over for the real drama to begin) that kickstarts the Dance, I'm glad he was spared seeing it.
Agreed. May he rest in peace
I respect viserys because he defends people when they're not present and only speaks against them when they are. He defended daemon at the council but he also defended otto when talking to daemon
Yep he also does that for Rhaenyra too when people accuse her of things.
Paddy better win best actor.
Amen
i just know viserys is SCREAMING into his pillow at night lmaoooo
Poor guy. He was a simple king who wanted to rule in peace, but his family just kept getting into drama. We’ll miss you King Viserys.
You should have added the small council scene in ep 6 when he is tired of speaking again of the bloody stepstones . Hilarious 😂
I may have to make a sequel compilation since this video only has scenes through ep 5-and ep 6 had some great moments!
My brother would murder me? Take my crown? I love his tone when he says this. And he is right, some Targaryens lust for the throne so much they resort to murder (Maegor, Aegon IV) but out of all the things you can say about the Rogue Prince, he does love his older brother
I swear Viserys was the best character in season 1, the amount of entertainment we got yet amazing acting from Paddy was just marvelous
I feel so bad for Viserys. He just can’t catch a break.
He's got his lego, he's ok. 😆
The funniest one was when Viserys chuckled in absolute disbelief at Otto's reach extending his grasp by badgering him during happy hour about wedding Rhaenyra to Aegon II. The eyes never lie.
Yes! That scene is brilliant.
If Paddy Considine doesn’t take home an Emmy for this role, we RIOT! Superb stand out performance start to finish! Even GRR Martin has said his version of Viserys is far better than the one he wrote!
Viserys reaction when Otto brought up aegon being king was the funniest shit ever “the boy just turned 2 Otto” 😂😂
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Viserys I Targaryen is Ned Stark with a crown. And it's leading him to a slow crucifixion.
Nah Ned got waaay more spine. He never hesitated to lob a head off if he need to.
Incorrect. Viserys and Ned are completely different characters.
They have one thing in common. They are good men at heart who try to do what they feel is the right thing.
Besides that, they are nothing alike.
Ned was very strong. He earned the respect of everyone he met and most people who met him admired him. He was a fantastic leader for the North and had absolute loyalty and respect of his bannermen.
Even in Kings Landing, where he did not enjoy the politics and scheming, he still showed great strength (though not great wisdom).
He had the strength to strip The Mountain of his titles and sentence him to death and order the most powerful man in Westeros (Tywin Lannister)to KL to answer for the crimes of his bannerman.
He had the strength to call out his King and friend in front of the small council.
Whether these were smart decisions is another matter, but they showed a certain strength/steel that Viserys has not shown (other than the Throne scene).
As it was said, Ned was the true steel.
Viserys was forever bending or looking the other way when the shit happened. He hardly ever stood his ground. Not with Daemon. Not with Rhaenyra. Not with Alicent. Not with Otto. They all took advantage of him or simply ignored him amd there was no pushback. His weakness did help sow the seeds for the dance of dragons.
@@garym6338 No, he was not. If Ned had the balls, he'd have revealed Cersei's treason to Robert so he could disinherit her brood and install a new heir before he died.
@@HolyknightVader999 First off Robert was already on his fatal hunting trip when Ned got the proof.
Secondly, that had nothing to do with balls or strength and everything to do with Ned’s own sense of morality.
Ned didn’t fear telling Robert. He had ethical qualms with what Robert would do when he found out (i.e kill Cersei and her children), which is why he chose to confront Cersei first instead and tell her he knew the truth to give her chance to flee with her children.
Now, we both know that wasn’t a smart decision, but the mistake was made not out of weakness, but compassion and mercy.
Being strong does not equal being a cruel and merciless asshole.
Ramsay and Joffrey were both merciless assholes and Joffrey was the weakest monarch we’ve seen on GoT or HoD, besides Tommen.
@@garym6338 No amount of morals would excuse deceit that bad. When Robert was writing his will, Ned should've already summoned Stannis and Renly to confront Cersei and Robert with the truth.
If I ever was Viserys, i’d be dead fast because of all the stress 😅
The "You are my political headache!" one always gets me
He is my favorite character...if he wasn't trying to please everyone then he might've been one of the best kings in Westeros
When he saw Rhae and Daemon almost kissing at the wedding feast💀
I always thought male Targaryen are mad but he is the most normal person in Westeros lol
Poor guy can't get a break
Viserys is the goat of House of the Dragon.
despite Viserys's flaws, he was probably the only Targaryen in the Dynasty who was normal by Game of Thrones standards
If I was Viserys I would have thrown Daemon, Otto, Rhaenyra and Alicent into a dungeon, thrown away the key and just live in peace.
Totally agree.
I would have just thrown Otto in to the Black Cells. He's the cause of all this.
He’s like the only character with morals
The way he looks at 1:18 is still the funniest thing I've seen in so long.
Viserys in a nutshell “Fuck my life”
I love that he just kinda goes 😁 when he's pissed off. Lmfao
He is only allowed one smile per episode, and it must be immediately ruined for him
Viserys is getting a lot of undeserved shit. Remember we had Joffrey, Cersei and Robert, compared to these idiots Viserys is a very competent ruler. He could've done a better job, sure, but the dance of the dragons wasn't his fault.
The dance of the dragons is his fault, not entirely but large part of it. He's the king, in the position which can change the outcome of everything come after his death but he did that part badly. And yes, he's a competent ruler but it's not enough. This is monarchy not democracy, you need to plan the long run for your dynasty after your death. I bet Viserys will be better a president, do everything right on his term and enjoy life after retirement lol.
@@khoitranhuy3544 His brother constantly undermines him, his daughter insists upon following in her uncles footsteps, his wife and hand plot against him, and one of his most loyal houses are vying for the throne. Short of killing every single one of them, there's not much more Viserys could've done. People like you forget that free will is a thing, and Viserys is a compassionate ruler, not a tyrant.
@@SolusDarkcoat his brother doesn't undermine him, he tells him the truth on his face & doesn't sugarcoat things. It's him who doesn't trust his brother & gets manipulated by his hand Otto hightower. But all this was still ok untill he made the worst decision that ultimately became Targaryen's downfall & that was marrying alicent hightower. That one decision changed everything. Not marrying her wouldn't have done anything negative to him he could've chose anyone but let his heart take over his mind. Couldn't see through Otto's bs most of the time. He's generous & peaceful but he's weak & not smart & makes tonnes of bad decisions
The dance was his fault. He could have easily stopped it from happening by just naming Aegon his heir. But he insisted on Rheaneya
@d bollman Having a son was his key to fixing everything but he refused to use it.
his face when it comes to daemon always hilarious 😂 and tbh his line are so on point with him being so done and confused at same time 4:50
"The boy just turned two, Otto." DED
This man's life summed up in one word.
**Bruh**
People called him weak but he literally had the keys to living the good life lol
Facts. The narcissistic full of arbitrary ambition are the main ones calling viserys weak from what i see. for not being an evil snake letting ambition ruin his soul. Its crazy how some folks really see kindness and diplomacy a weakness
@@spiritusMagnificus Strength is necessary, but using diplomacy is no failure.
@@scottm8292 Aenys the 1st always used diplomacy but it wasnt enough like you said strenght is necessary... if strenght combine with diplomacy it is a perfect package.
@@tariizm1500 that was the problem with both Aenys and Maegor, they each went polar extremes of the other
Lol Viserys being annoyed for six minutes and nearly all of it is Daemon
Viserys I's face is the physical manifestation of Danny Glover's most famous line from the Lethal Weapon films: "I'm too old for this shit".
Viserys was a good man, who was a good king - he was surrounded by the worst possible people for a man with a good heart but he was far from a weak king (as some ppl try and say), he always did his duty and put the realm first.
I mean, naming your daughter heir, then marrying out of affection over political advantage, having a son with aforementioned wife, and then refusing to marry that son to the daughter you named heir to unify their claims, and by proxy ensuring a war of succession after your death, isn't exactly putting the realm first.
He was really sympathetic and a tragic character and I loved his arc, but reasonable decisions, he did not make.
@@lytherael2309 He named his daughter heir because there was no one else at the time. Daemon was obviously unsuitable as a ruler. He married Alicent because they had some connection and she was of age. Marrying the Velaryon girl(I forget her name) is like pedophilia and he doesn't know her and also understands Lord Corlys is encouraging/forcing her into it. The war of succession was not ensured by any means. It was simply an accident that Alicent misunderstood what he said on his death bed. Otherwise she had already made peace with Rhaenyra being the Queen. So I don't see how you can say he made unreasonable decisions. He did put the realm first by not leading it into war and tried his best to keep the family together. It was the actions and tendencies of his dysfunctional family members as well as some bad luck that the Dance of the Dragons came about.
@@NinjaAminga Wasn't up to Alicent at all, though. Ep9 made it very, very clear that Otto was scheming to put Aegon the Elder on the throne despite what Alicent wants.
The reasonable decision would have been to marry Rhaenyra and Aegon so that he can be King Consort and unite their claims as the named heir and the firstborn son. Not doing that prompted Otto to turn Ironrod and Tyland Lannister against Rhaenyra and crown Aegon as king to spark the whoel conflict.
And not marrying Laena Velaryon was stupid as heck because it pissed Corlys off so much so that he left the small council and allied with Daemon. Alicent was what, 2 years older? Still hella dodgy, and either way, are we going to scoff at pedophilia but accept rampant incest? Kinda hypocritical if you ask me.
@@lytherael2309 Aye but except that Aegon would have sided his mother on the matter of succession if alicent didnt misinterpret Viserys. We all know Aegon dont want to be King.
@@aurelian2668 Except Alicent did misinterpret it.
And it's also not like a private, vague, mumbled half sentence while possibly high on painkillers during his last day after years of agonising illness, should override a realm-wide declaration at the prime of his power and health.
Alicent is very intentionally putting words into Viserys' mouth, and she knows it. She understands politics and how to rule, if the king wanted to change the heir, he would've called for a scribe to put his decision to paper and signed it. Remember Robert doing exactly that specific procedure for a kingly decision on his own deathbed? So we know that'd have been standard in this world. But Viserys didn't do that so it isn't an official royal decree (like the one Rhaenyra got when she was made heir.)
Viserys loves his brother, as does Daemon. Only if Daemon held his tongue after Aemma's death he could've been named heir to the throne.
I think Daemon’s words were twisted and then told to Viserys by Otto. We never actually saw him say that line.
@@tbakhalid4781 probably, but it still remains that he talked about royal family business in a brothel. Daemon there showed poor lungimirance, if he wanted to stay as Viserys'heir.
@@cristinademartini6653 I think Daemon got big ego and pride that’s why he see no point in explaining himself to Viserys cause they’re family and he’s gonna stay his heir no matter what, that’s what Daemon thought. Another thing would be Viserys is in too much pain to want a reason from Daemon but just want to lash out, instead Daemon tries to show the root cause of the problem that is Otto. Not saying Daemon is right but that’s just how he is.
@@tbakhalid4781 Well yeah, but renting a pleasure house and celebrating on the day of your nephew's death is not okay.
Poor Viserys he just wants to keep his family intact.
He is called Viserys the peaceful but he never had peace in his family LOL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
I will never get over that „The boy turned just 2, Otto“… I think that this scene is so fcking hilarious xD
Viserys has the best "Oh for fuck's sake" face
It comes from a lot of unwanted practice
2:41 That aged like milk. Poor Viserys.
in another universe he plays his lego happily with his wife.
Viserys shows how effective a normal dude from modern times would be if he had to be King of Westeros.
poor man he just wants his family to get along
HotD is one full season of Viserys’ family stressing him out until he died
OMG this is just pure Gold!!!! Thank you. For the love of all the Old Gods and the New, please give this poor man some peace.
Poor Viserys just can't catch a break.
The entire show is Viserys just been totally done with everything and everyone around him 🤣🤣🤣
From episode 1, I have seen nothing but greatness in Paddy’s performance. Bravo Sir, bravo 👏👏
Daemon : hai bro
Viserys : i hate you
Daemon : thanks bro
😂😂😂😂😂
You should make a compilation of everytime Daemon got exiled💀 hahhaah
The part where He falls at the end its like, I OUTTA HERE GUYS OK BYE
That “dear me” 0.13 had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
As far as Game of Thrones characters go, Viserys probably had one of the better deaths in the show when you consider most people get stabbed
Honestly, he’s the only character who as far as I can remember died of natural causes
@@John-xr9ry There's Aemon as well
@@non-haereticicoalition8392, can’t believe I forgot about him😢
Aegon just turned 2 and the look on his face had me dying
my poor king cant catch a break
Rip King, you will be missed
I didn't believe his death would affect me so much. And now, i'm grieving for him. I will miss him vero much, but i'm glad he will finally be by Aemma and Baelon's side again. That's what I like to believe.
We’ll take it from here
@@cristinademartini6653 Same. I lost control of my emotions during episode 8. Watching him basically crawl to the throne one last time got me emotional. Then, Daemon helping his brother up and putting the crown on his head broke me. Watching him enjoy one final meal with his entire family made me wish that he would live and witness a lot more nights together with them. He is now my second favorite character ever, first being Ned. I love the two guys. Good people in a terrible world!
@@RGInquisitor same for me. Hotd will not be the same without Viserys. His death is the catalisys which brings ruin, like ned's one.
“Everyone around me is insane” lololol
They worried that man into an early grave smh
