The cast and crew describe the various changes made to recognizable sets like the Red Keep and the Throne to reflect the decadence of the time period and how they evolved over time.
My favourite thing is the new, larger Iron Throne sword display. It reminded me of when Littlefinger in GOT talked about how he had counted the swords and said there wasn't anything close to a thousand like the legend said. It's clear now that he never got to see it in it's true glory.
I love how new sets were used as fanservice but in a good way, they bring back the memories of the original series, but they are indeed relevant in this world. How fleeting is anyone's life compared to the buildings in King's Landing
I was just amazed by how spectacular everything looks on the show. I'll probably watch the episode many times more because there's just so much beauty in every detail. Apart from the writting and performance there were great, the production is oustanding. Can't wait to watch more of it👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The evolution of the set since 2010 is just amazing. The story of the Dance of Dragons being 200 years prior to A Song of Ice and Fire means we got the majesty, the grandeur of the world looked like before. Everyone who worked on GoT and HoTD, thank you for everything.
The showrunners Miguel and Ryan have truly outdone themselves. I was just captivated during that first episode. The attention to detail and the way they have respected GRRM s work is amazing. You can tell this is a passion project of theirs and I can't wait to see more.
That ending, Viserys talking about the Winter that will come, handing catspaw to Rhaenyra .... DAMN .... the music , the emotions, the memories, I got chills all over. I hate to bring it up AGAIN, I know it was done to death in the past few years, but I just could not but feel sadness and loss for how the original GOT ended. Man, those characters were done dirty by the showrunners, every single one, but Daenerys particularly so ! But I still love it in a way, I just feel bad that it could not live up to its legend in the end. But hay, at least we got to see and enjoy the decade long ride on the Greatest Show That Never Was 🙌
I agree!when they start arguing after the queens death at the council, you could see who wanted to be the power behind the power!making Rhaenyra the queen in front of Daemon was probably a bad move, but keeping him at bay so he wont kill too many!the Gold Coats actions showed his resolve trying to show he can do anything without judgement, but he got kicked out of Westeros for it!
I LOVE the difference in the thrones. Robert Baratheon hated the Targaryens. It was personal. But he was also somewhat more of a practical guy than one for frivolity and drama. So I can completely imagine that the Targaryens would have this massive ornate throne surrounded by swords to symbolize their power, and then Robert would come in and say "I only need the chair part of the throne, all these swords are in my way and a waste of good iron, get rid of them" and ordering servants to cut off the excess swords to be melted down and used for new weapons. Historically, when a new monarch or new royal family rises to power, they redecorate the palaces and castles to their taste and with symbology of their family name, completely shredding all memory of their predecessor's family name. GRRM is inspired by history, so that would fit well within his world's inspirations.
we really need an RPG game set in the world of GOT/HOTD. an open detailed world, choosing your family etc. being a dragon rider, or a viking, or a stark. etc be great.
MY MAN! I have been saying the same thing for years! Its long overdue a single action RPG set in the universe of A Song of Ice and Fire, I simply cant understand why this hasnt happen yet.
I was a little leery about the show, but that episode last night felt like one of the original Game of Thrones episodes. As long as D&D aren’t involved this will end perfectly, well done. Now bring a Roberts rebellion prequel please
I hate how everyone just seems to forget that D&D gave us those fantastic seasons before the ending. It isn’t their fault that they no longer had books to use materials from for the last seasons, so why blame them for it? They did their best with the information George RR Martin gave them.
This Is what happened when a beyond Level Great company like HBO max and next level professional people work together. What A God Level Great opening episode. Waiting For Next Sunday 🥳🥳
F*N LOOOVED IT ...watched it with friends in my 140" 2.35 ratio ALR screen & 4K projector with 4500W atmos surround sound system ..BLOWN me away , specially when dragons showed up was sooooo EPIC see it in BIG screen , TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL ....that Child birth mixed it up with that fights on horse ahhhhhhh was sooo brutal & intense , well done , LOVED the whole Episode, introduce us to each one of them how they are!
I love that they built real sets instead of heavily relying on vfx. It adds a quality that you just don't get otherwise, plus it is probably cheaper. Really hope the show keeps building in terms of quality as the story progresses.
omg i thought i was losing it since i didn't realize there's a time jump somewhere in this series where there's a young and adult rhaenrya lol they did a great job casting 2 actors that look the same since i knew something was off but wasn't completely sure
Never thought yous would hook me ever again after THAT season, but congrats I'm looking forward to HotD, although I would've went with different lore/ time periods- hope another season after the events of GoT one day happens too- even one set more into the future, and the return of magic is looming etc idk
1:16 "it's all built in, it's not separate stages" is actually a sad statement on today's filming industry: the fact that real sets have become so rare compared to green screens
True but he didn’t really mean it that way. He was talking about how the sets are actually connected to each other and not just separate rooms. Doesn’t have anything to do with green screens.
In another promo, I believe Emma D'Arcy mentioned they were in awe of the sets because most things are green screened now. You can definitely tell the difference
Can u imagine the look of the first iron throne in an Aegons Conquest Spinoff series would that interpretation be a little little bit much closer to the concept of George's initial concept of the iron throne much larger, taller definitely more bloody swords
Tbh just seeing the sets visualized so beautifully is worth the wait. Just give us a well written ending and you will have done your job and potentially set the stage for more trips to Westeros
At least this series has plenty of source material that’s already written, for how the Dance of Dragons ends. That’s what was missing for Game of Thrones.
Anyone notice the wiki of a song of ice and fire got overwhelmed last night? It's been a bit since I read Fire and Blood so I helped contribute to their server getting overwhelmed 😀
This show is so amazing. Like I’m more excited for Episode two than I am for the Snow Show. What the hell?? How can hbo keep doing this?! Here’s my breakdown for episode 2 promo czcams.com/video/NV53VPbImBc/video.html
So Jon snow did learn the secret but just not in the tradiotional way, seing that he was the last male heir. Daenerys was never the heir so she had to learn it from jon. Thats crazy how they set that up, love how yeh did that. Wow
After hearing that jon snow will have a spin-off sequel in the form of a season 9 this will only make me happyer. If the show prison break has managed to come up with a new season after so many years, the best series of all time can do this too to get a redemption arc.
I hope this HotD show will continue until the beginning of the Game of Thrones, when Mad King died and Dany and Jon was born. They will cover until the fall of Targaryen and Robert's Rebellion.

I wouldn’t doubt it if someone died by falling on a sword.

You can tell how hard the people have worked when you call the set by the name " Red Keep" itself.
These guys get it
What a first episode. A tear cake down while watching it. Incredible job HBO 🤘🏻
I agree. Bravo ! Everything is superb. Setting, acting, pacing, story. On point.
the first episode was just too good

The quality was big budget movie-like. An upgraded version of GoT. I wish I could see this series in an IMAX theater.
@@Factboy12 thanks to GoT for that

Design , special effects and vfx looks more detailed in this one. Good job house of the dragon team
studio tour for this set will be AMAZING.
Loved the first episode, I got goosebumps at the end when Game of Thrones music kicked in. let's hope the quality stays that way.

Missed these soooo much
Thank you, as always an amazing job
I swear , HBO make all the others fantasy shows look like a joke lmao

This is amazing series
Now we will again be living in the thrones, dragons 🐉. Kingslandin.
Wow 😍❤️❤️❤️
HBO spares no expense in giving GOT universe producers the money they need to achieve the visually exciting end product
You guys NAILED this first episode!!! Damn 🙌 ….. 🔥 🐉

Excellent

The original show isn't considered Canon in my mind after their blunder. I'll just follow the books with this new show.
Season 6-7-8 isn’t canon anyway the books stopped on season 5 after that it was free written
@@Monokazie you make a good point
No one is going to sneak up behind you on a throne like that. Smart.

So Jon snow did learn the secret but just not in the tradiotional way, seing that he was the last male heir. Daenerys was never the heir so she had to learn it from jon. Thats crazy how they set that up, love how yeh did that. Wow
I'm so excited for this show to go down in flames. ❤
You should save this scenery and make park about this universe. I want to see it!
Nikita Suchkov. Ur saying absolutely right.
Kings Landing looks more alive, That 's a good point from me
"A Carpet of Swords"
I thought the clip in Harrenhal was spectacular.
I also really like the mixture of gothic and Arabian architecture in the Red Keep.
