He wouldnât attack his brother nor would Viserys attack Daemon
Obviously you havenât read the books
That was the plan though
Pretty sure stab wounds always hurt more than a paper cut
Pretty sure everyone wanted more Crabfeeder
This gave me the strongest "I can tie my own shoes, MOM!!!" energy ever
ha so true
Daemon is right. His remarks on Otto, his initiative to join Velaryon on the Steps... I guess he's done being underestimated and overlooked. He's violent? Sure. Very. After all he's a Targaryen. Fire and Blood all the way. Love your content and the outfits, Georgia!
Thank you Natasha =)
The thing is, Daemon was right to not trust Otto, but he wasn't right to become a hand.
Daemon hate administrative stuff.
He does work extremely well as a military commander, but his posts as master of laws and of coin both showed how he sucked as a ruler or as someone vital for the ruling of the realm beyond being military muscle.
In my opinion Daemon's a complete A hole, but he's honest and loyal. He just want to be acknowledged and value d instead of being shipped off place to place.
@@Ashbrash1998 honest and loyal ? In his own way.
Also, remember, he wasn't shipped off when on the small council before becoming Lord commander of the City Watch, it's just that he hated administrative stuff, which he would have had to do as Lord Hand.
@@fandemusique4693 hed be a great hand at this point in time with these many dragons all they needed to do was not be weak and daemon isnt viserys was and thus all the dragons died after his reign.
Interesting you mentioned that Daemon's suicide mission was because he would rather die than let his brother help. Interesting because earlier in the episode when Viserys says he is sending his brother help, Rhaenyra asks, did he ask for help? And Viserys' response is 'he would rather die'
I feel like the crab-feeder is the sort of character you don't want spoiled. It was best he was short lived, otherwise he would've just become another scheming lord. A short run lets him best be mysterious and unsettling.
yes that is a good point also, too much of a good thing could have ruined it
Yes, I love Daemonâs character! Heâs not solely motivated by good nor evil and has such determination.
I think this episode was very artistic in that it drew comparisons between Viserys deliberate killing of a helpless innocent stag and Rhaenyras killing of a wild beast in order to protect herself. I think it shows that her and Daemon are motivated by self preservation, considering their titles are both threatened. The shots of both her and Daemon with the bloodied triumphant stares is so cool!
Matt Smith has always been a good actor and Im glad House of the Dragon have him a good role where he can really act. He doesnt speak at all in the last act of the episode. Mattâs face and body language tells us all.
Daemon might be an overly-aggressive type, but I always respect any leader that's willing to go out onto the front lines and take on the risk themselves đ
Something Viserys could never do, he's weak just like Daemon said
He's a true dragon
@@tshegofatsokolobe8383 Visarys should've made daemon his hand as Daemon luv's his brother an even went collecting swords for his brother in surport for him as king
Minor correction: Golden Cloaks not Golden company. I love that Damon energy. "No, I don't want your help, after you banished me. I spent 3 years cleaning up the problem you let fester so your Master of ships doesn't bail on you. I'm out here working so you can keep eating, and now you want to help? No, it's my win. And fuck your messenger, and fuck that snake Otto." I was feeling it if you can't tell. :)
oh sorry yes ! sorry I am bad with names. Yes his character is most interesting
I feel like what a lot of westerosi forget about Aenys and Maegor is that at one point when they were ruling together basically, they were even stronger than when they were apart. I feel like if Viserys sat on the throne hosting the feasts and charming lords while Daemon was at his side putting down rebellions and looking out for him all seven kingdoms would be better for it.Viserysâ kind forgiving nature would essentially balance out Daemonâs cruel violent uncouth impulses. Daemon could encourage Viserys to have more backbone and not to trust people so easily.
I knew you will analyze Daemon's rage scene. Love it.
yay
You have more insight and knowledge of battle tactics than all of the people who are complaining about plot armour. Thank you! Matt Smith has been my fav actor for a long time. Iâm totally biasedđ
In the book, Daemon beats a different messenger, but this is definitely in his wheelhouse.. lol
Daemon Targaryen perfect. But it's in his flaws that's us viewers can relate to our own experiences and emotions. Kudos to Matt Smith, no one could have done it better
Yes I feel the same way that is what makes him interesting
Daemon didn't want help from his brother the king so he charged ahead alone which got his men fired up and he took what he wanted
yes admirable though it wasn't the smartest of moves, but was it ever epic
Couldn't agree more about how engaging the Crab Feeder's performance was. Looking forward to what you do next :)
Yes he was amazing and captivating though I dont even think he spoke a word.
- steps in
- surrenders
- raises hell
- doesn't elaborate further
Whenever Daemon gets quiet one of three things will happen: a beating, a warcrime or a murder.
I think if you did an episode about, "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" would be great. In particular focusing on Waymond I think would be very heartfelt.
I would love a video about the relationship between Daemon and Viserys. What I love about these Targaryen is that they love their family madly, albeit in their own twisted way. Daemon's nature is to create chaos and this is how he can also express himself, he would die for his brother and for her niece Rhaenyra (her, like a family and in a romantic way). Like Viserys, who is always very verbal about the love he has for his brother and his daughter, what he wants most is for everyone to be at peace. Same for Rhaenyra, she would give anything for her father and her uncle (whom she also loves romantically). I love this strange family, they're very passionate đđđ
PS: I'm a big fan of your analysis (and your Cosplay) âšâš
Thank you for these insights. They're entertaining and thought-provoking!
Would've loved to see more videos on scenes from the rest of the season, like the Episode 4 scene where Rhaenyra confesses her trauma over her mother's death to Daemon đ„ș
Great video as always, I hope there will be more situations that will be interesting for analysis.
I hope so too, thanks
I always appreciate your enthusiasm and literacy in the material you talk about! This was a fun episode.
I felt sorry for the Messenger he was just doing his job and gets beaten for it and I agree I wish the crabfeeder didn't get killed off thought his part would be bigger good episode better than lord of the rings shows episode 3
You need..NEED to review and give your observations on Sandman! One of the most unique family and psychological mythological sagas in all modern fantasy.
Excellent assessment.
I cannot wait for your analysis of the 4th episode
This was a brilliant analysis, and it reveals a core truth to understand my own drives!!! Much appreciated. God be with you.
ThanksâŠI enjoyed the scenes you selected. Blessings on your day đđ»
Thank you! You too!
Lol ... l like to view this as the battle going on at the microscopic level between the Targaryen White Blood Cells vs the Cold and Flu Crab Eaters. Fits perfectly, early stage Crab Eaters are ruthlessly making a mess of things. There becomes the back and forth of battle that is the rising and falling of ones symptoms. Daemon rowing in and planting the flag is where you at your worst but now going sideways. But your body now has a plan and is positioning for the win. Dragon strike and onward is where you feel better hour over hour. Everyone cheers.
I wish for more house of dragon analysis đđâ€ïž
You look great! I love the effort you put into every vid and you're kissed by fire which is a plus. Thank you and keep up the good work.

The crab feeder was diseased and blind in one eye, what fight would he have? Didnât need to see Daemon just slaughtering him after all that awesomeness before.
Ha that is probably too accurate of how the fight would go
But as long as he is alive he was a threat.
I love Daemon's character. I'd like to hear you analyze the scene between him and King viserys when he gets disinherited.
As Always your videos are phenomenal Georgia. You have a great weekend.
Thank you! You too!
Great video and costume, Iâm enjoying House of the Dragon so far! Also I think it would cool if you did another video on What We Do In The Shadows or another show called Our Flag Means Death.
You are awesome. Loving your content. Greetings from Brasil!
appreciate that thanks = )
Daemon is waving the white flag and offering up his sword to signal that his side surrenders. The white flag will cease hostilities until an understanding and terms of surrender can be reached. Daemon takes advantage of this to get in what's essentially a cheap shot to draw out the Crab Feeder and give him an opportunity for the victory... which is completely in line with Daemon's personality, lol.
He reminds me a lot of vegeta from dbz
Could you make a video about 1x04 of House of dragon? I really love hearing your explanation for their behaviors.
I cant wait for your frenchie from the boys video he is the closest personality type to myself and o love how you break down fictional characters and analyze them.
I would love for you to react about the changed relationships between Raeynera and Alicestar in episode 3 and about visery's innerfights he showed at the hunting camp especially.
Please finish the series đ đą
We want your explanation od Daemont wants from episode 4 and 5 house if dragon. Nobody does it as you do, youbare amazing! Will be waiting!!
yep, still much love
= )
when the 1st season is done, please analyse our Rhaenyra !
Daemon and Caraxes are my favorite. I don't care lol
me too
@@GeorgiaDow hahaha YES!!!!!!! I got chills when he walked out with the 25% discounted Crab Feeder at the end omg!!! Heâs so epic!!! And then how you can tell the difference in power between Caraxes and Sea Smoke? I really am loving this show more than I thought I would hehe
Oh that is the best line ever @25% discount crab feeder rofl
@@GeorgiaDow hahahahahah look what we've become?!?!?! lolol
He loved Viserys all time...to the end
Forever brothers
Daemon viserys dragon brothers
I like that despite being overly aggressive, he isn't invulnerable; lost the tourney, nearly died in this battle... a lot of fantasy shows/books would have had him win the tourney to show his strength, but that was not the point of daemons character
I wish someone would make a video of this scene with bun dem by Skrillex playing, and the dragon breathing fire when the beat drops. đ„
oh man. i didn't think he was gonna join the crab-feeder at all. that just isn't who daemon is.
yes he is mad at his brother, but he is still his brother.
viserys and rhaenyra are (at this moment) the two most important people to him. there will be others after them,
daemon's most consistent trait is the love and loyalty he has to those closest to him. yes, he is kind of a shithead so he pushes those boundries a bit, but never full-on "i want you dead" betrayal.
I like how people try to paint Daemon as such a mystery, when in reality he's just that attention-seeking boy who has to act edgy in order to feel personal pride because mom and dad probably didn't give enough hugs as a kid.
Oooooo Miss Georgia. Have you ever heard or watched the show called 'PRIMAL' by Genndy Tartakovsky? omg you need to because it is amazing but also, I would LOVE to hear your breakdown and perspective. It is full of deep meanings, silver linings, and our favorite....trauma lol
I am already interested in the name alone. I am going to be away a bit send me another reminder incase i forget = )
@@GeorgiaDow oooooo really? Okay. I totally will!! There is like 3 seasons but there not too long. But get ready!!! Itâs brilliant!!! Have a safe trip Miss Georgia! You are so awesome!
My favorite one
Strong ....cool type person
Gold Cloaks not golden company
Thank you for this video well done about my Prince Daemon Targaryan I do luv his character an Matt Smith has brought Daemon to life
Love the video thank you :)
1 point though, he didnt decimate the messinger, Decimation means killing 1/10 of a group (Deci means 10)
I hope this helps :)
yes I wasn't using the roman terms though = ) but that is a valid point
Basically Damon has just added another level to Maslows higherarcy of needs - the "burn dem to death with yu Dragon" stage. Also his internal narrative is a bit like when Alexander the great was held up at Tyre and finally got in. Very crucify them all on the walls and burn the place down. Also like that dude his internal locus of control is whacked. Because of "your Daddy is really Zeus" stuff.
Daemon was the commander of the gold cloaks, not the golden company
Appreciate this video and would love your take on the newest episode. I do not understand Sir Christians actions or his thinking at all.
I think Daemon is so proud and narcissistic that he always needs to be in control and the one with power. If anyone or anything tries to take away his power or make him feel less than, like a letter that to Daemon says, "you haven't won and can't win without me" i.e., you're a failure, he loses it.
I'd love if you did Doctor Who videos.
The creepy and eerie people aren't the real villains in this world
Stunningly good cosplay again, Georgia! (Do the walls in your walk in closet expand to accommodate? Or do yo just add more closets? = ) It's never a good idea to lead with one's ego in a fight. This causes one to do fundamentally not very bright things. Like, for example...set oneself up for getting pin-cushioned with arrows. IF that were the ONLY way...(which is was not) THEN he should have at least used the bodies of one or more of the guys he killed to absorb the arrows INSTEAD of him. His way was not very well thought out...which, of course, happens when one thinks with their glands.
the closest is getting more and more tightly packed for sure =)
@@GeorgiaDow Time to break out the cosplay themed colored sheets to cover the rolling clothing racks you will need to move into your studio space! - )
Bc we didnât see âhow badâ was the crabfeeder daymondâs success or fail didnât resonate as much.
Bc we didnât see him failing all of this time-- we the viewers donât feel the stake or even the tension when he waves the white flag.
It almost felt like the scene in GoT when the pirate people attack ramsyâs fort at winterfell and heâs fighting shirtless. Ultimately, it treats the viewers as dumb and its disappointing and a bit of waste of time/airspace.
I'm not sad I didn't see more of the crab feeder, I am sad I don't have your fashion sense... đ đ€·ââïž
i'm sure this show will end badly but for now i like daemon
You can tell she's turned on by Daemon's bad boyness..lol
Do You Like WATCHING Some MMA OR NFL FOOTBALL ? Ms Georgia
More a curiosity is how little we saw of the crab feeder. Or did we? Perhaps we haven't actually seen the last of the real crab feeder and maybe a fake one was killed?
oh i didnt catch that
Wasn't anything really to see but it's mostly a theory, since he seems like a big antagonist I'm curious if there's another person, possibly with a similar affliction? I can't tell if that's a burn or a similar sickness to the stone skin disease
Nah. He's dead. In the book, he was hardly more than a paragraph. They expanded him a bit here to further push Daemons arc. He's not a major villain at all. What's to come will prove that.
I know this could totally be wrong but I think he is so saxy in this episode and the fact that he doesnât speak makes it even more saxy to me đ đ
Wrong daemon loves his brother to a fault
My only issue with this is didnt he send a letter to ask for his brother help?? So why would he be mad that he accepted it? When I first saw this episode I assume the King was sending just food and not sending people to help fight the war which in turn pissed his brother off. But seeing the clip here I see he did say he was sending men so wtf. He literally asked for help then ego is blown once he actually is about to receive it.
It was Corlys's brother who sent for help. And he did it in secret
He didn't know, they asked for help behind his back.
Please do more defences of Alicent. Shes getting a bad rap from the fandom
really in the show she seems to be supportive and give good advice
@@GeorgiaDow yeah that hasnt stopped people from being hard on her or accusing her of being manipulative and backstabby.
i think she dealt with alot of pressure due to being a medieval noblewoman being forced into a shitty situation. and now that shes queen, her real personality's starting to shine through.
Episode 4 though đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€ąđ€ąđ€ąđ€ą
Lmao all the blackcels cheering on Rhaenyra ordering the cruel assassination of an innocent child that had nothing to do with Lukeâs death. I hope blood and cheese shows just how monstrous Rhaenyra can be.
