Interesting thanks for sharing this awesome video
One of the biggest change for me: Rhaenys Targaryen, daughter of Jocelyn Baratheon and Aemon Targaryen has silver hair, not black hair like the books. As we know, baratheon black hair passing down the line is a huge plot point in a game of thrones.
In the show Rhaenys is also older, late fifties maybe. That probably explains the grey hair
@@theoldestt-rex in the books at her 50's her hair went Grey. But she was on the scene of the great councik when she should have 20-30 and with silver hair. I believe they did that so she could be easily recognized as targaryen
pretty sure she aged, hence why the silver hair.
@@sadabchowdhury2653 nah, she was 30-40 during the council and she had white Targaryen hair. They probably just went with it for her to resemble Targaryen more which isn't very good since Baratheon offspring inherit their dark hair almost everytime and I think many fans speculated, that doubts about Rhaenyra's kids father weren't tooooo loud because Laenor's mother Rhaenys had Baratheon's hair and it was always a possibility of it passing to her grandchildren, smth like this
@@Jan.jan2024 so cry about it then..
Otto Hightower might have Tywin's ambition for his kids, but he doesn't have none of Tywin's smarts.
Reading the god awful grammar in your comment, it’s ironic that you question ANYONE’S intelligence.
@@carastone3473 The English speaking population of the world is deluded into thinking that if one can't speak fluent English, they aren't intelligent. That is the sort of cockiness that makes barbarian countries go to other shores in order to 'civilize' the indigenous population.
@@carastone3473 chances are that English is not his first language. How many languages do you know?
Tywin is incomparable
@@carastone3473 Not very nice or fair when they werent even commenting on real people. Get a life and stop being so mean
The only change that bothers me is changing of the ages. Nine years is pretty much a generation in this story. Alicent needs to have multiple grandchildren by the time the conflict starts. And the ages of their sons is very important. However, Ithink they have a plan to make it work. Im cool as long as we get blood and cheese.b
What about mushroom
Also daemon looks the same age after the time jump, looking the same age as rhaenyra
@@Solveta-tmmrw because he's in the age when you can remain almost the same visually for about decade maybe? Like people tend to not change much when they are 35-45.
It seems they kinda aged him a bit from the beginning of the show to 3rd-4th episodes, he seems older than in 1st episode.
And btw he looks closer to Rhaenyra age after huge time jump because (imho) Rhaenyra looks kinda older than she should be after that time jump.
@@depressed_firefly she's supposed to. Without giving away any spoilers from the book, that hasn't been shown in the previews: childbirth does a number on Rhaenyra.
@@antithetical I know although from trailers seems like they didn't go with it
I love how he says "The D's that shall not be named." That was just great and perfect. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was going to say the same thing 🤣
What I like about 'A Song of Fire and Blood,' is how it's written. George R. R. Martin wrote 'Fire and Blood' like a memoir story, while 'Ice and Fire' was written as a complete novel.
Meaning that the events of 'Ice and Fire' were meant to be 100% canon events, while 'Fire and Blood' was written in a third party perspective. Think of it like a Maester writing down the events of the Dance of The Dragons and everything leading up to it, the aftermath and overall results. The story was meant to be retold from someone that knows of the events, but dont know the exact details of the events.
This is *perfect* for a novel to screen adaptation, as you can stick closely to the original story, but make minute changes where the directors or screenwriters see fit, well, if it adds to the story I mean.
Isn't just called Fire and Blood, not A Song of Fire and Blood?
Sure, stories can be rumors and hearsay, but birth dates are set in stone.
@@RareCandeh No, they're not. Like previously stated, Fire & Blood reads like a history book, meaning that it is without absolute certainty. So perhaps the Maester who wrote Fire & Blood simply messed up a date. Keep in mind that Fire & Blood is essentially an in-universe history book.
Everyone already knows all that pal
@@LucaDavoli_ No, I think the maesters will be getting dates wrong in their writings.
Ok so this Otto n Tywin comparisons have to stop I mean let's be honest Otto couldn't hold Tywins jockstrap can you imagine what Tywin would've accomplished with the tools (Dragons n The SeaSnakes Navy) it would be amazing
He (Tywin) would have made and encouraged different alliances to be sure. He would have probably encouraged marriage between his own house and the Sea Snakes house - similar to how he valued the Tyrell alliance due to the what they brought to the table.
In otto's time frame the best a father can do for his daughter is to get a suitable match for her, but given his standing he isnt going to go to the king and siggest but play his cards right and get her to be queen and elevate himself as well basing on what a father of that era was he gave her the best he could.
He pimped her out for power.
@@msjigglypuff91 that is kind of what each and every lord does, your applying our society's morals to theirs, in this world women of high standing were used to secure alliances, bring in wealth or for powerful connections or friends. So by the standard of the book's society he was an okay father dare i say, even a good father
@@griffin3508 He would be a good father only if he cared about his daughter happiness instead of wanting the throne for his blood.
His greed killed his family and destroyed westeros because the war it caused.
He cared nothing for a his daughter unless it benefited him.
Daemon is great in the show everything I expected, can not wait till aemond one eye makes his appearance as he is my favourite targaryen character from the books
I haven’t read the books but I’m guessing he’s the unborn child of Hightower and the king?
@@goatclips2222 correct second born son of alicent and the King..he's featured in the trailer with the eye patch...look out for him to cause complete chaos a top the mighty vhagar
He my favorite book character as well truly his brother keeper
I hate Aemond, always preferred Daemon.
@@ranica47 you must like a good fairy tail story like the others who hate him...what is a great story without a great villain
count on HBO not giving Rhaenyra the same fate she has in the book
why am i so obsessed with this fantasy series
Yes I absolutely enjoyed the first episode of house of the dragon 💯
uhm... in the thumbnail you confused two different people
The one on the left is Daeman Blackfyre and the one on the right is Daemon Targeryen, they're like 3-4 generations apart
It’s been fixed now
Exactly thank you
To think the reason they don't have purple eyes is because Clarke couldn't wear the clored contacts 😂
Love this you should do them for all the episodes!! I’m loving the changes except Laena’s age
Nice video. Informative, especially for someone that hasn't read the books.
Good one. Thank you
Odd you didn't mention that in the books the Valyrians are white but in the show they're black.
Since that's a pretty major difference...
Where does it say that
@@aaronsolis1887 well being the same race as Targaryen, light skin with silver gold hair and violet eyes, you’d imagine they’d be valyrians
@@epicchocolate1866 czcams.com/video/YvLY0OeiMtQ/video.html
Corlys Valeryeon. That's their family name. And they are from old Valeria. I don't remember their skin color being mentioned in the book.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
So this is an advert for House of Dragon? Ok, tnx for mentioning it in the beginning and saving us some time.
Jokes on you. Now we all say "Hot D" when referring to the show. HBO is smart. They're taking the D back. And they're taking it hard.
Uh pretty sure the sea snake was a Valaryian and not a summer islander....
George and the show runners decided to diversify the look of Valaryians. I'm guessing since Summer Islanders don't make much of an appearance in Westeros in the books. So the Sea snake is still a Valaryian on the show
@@brucewaite3733 facepalm.....yes I am aware what they did....it sticks out like a sore thumb....makes the character look like total token.
@@cjtuckerbpmc Well sadly for you and your racial bias, Targaryens usually aren’t described with their skin colours except for some characters for specific reasons. We assume all valyrians are white but it’s not actually confirmed by George R R Martin so idk why that even bothers you… it’s childish.
@@Goldenxbih lmfao....ya is that goal post heavy or what?
@@Goldenxbih Scarlett Johansson's performance in ghost in a shell was perfection right?....after all those characters were never actually described as Japanese....
doesnt look they are going to make older Rhaenyra heavy set and homely like she becomes in the book
I mean Rhaenyra gained some weight but wasn’t obese……Besides unless the actress wears a fat suit, what are they supposed to do?
Syrax is shown in the pit coz it symbolises Rhaenyra's situation. She too being a princess and heir is confined to the walls of the Red Keep.
I would love to have one for a pet. They are amazing!!!!
My thing though is Who was Otto’s wife? In the books I think Alicent’s mother could have been Saera Targaryen. But they obviously haven’t gone that way in the show. Yet they still don’t mention who her mother was despite mentioning her several times.
Daemon might have a bit of a bloodthirsty psychopath in him…… but he was spot on when he called Otto a C**t!!!
I’m currently reading fire and blood, and I’m really enjoying it so far.
Otto reminds me of Thomas Boleyn.
Yes!
Thank you, helpful 👵
Thank you.
Thank you for your video but the pronunciations are way off for some of the characters and it’s pretty distracting
I am watching all the videos i can about the shows I call it doing research lol I am being sucked into the world of fire and ice and dragons.
I know this feeling😎
Everything that was said in the end of the first episode was either written or co-signed by GRRM himself👍
tell me, how is it the 7 kingdoms when Dorne is not yet in the fold? how can GRRM have signed off on this? Oh that's right, because he sold out and he doesn't give a shit anymore about his story or his book, he's probably lying through his teeth about WoW coming out
@@Matser666777 they have always called it the 7 kingdoms because when aegon got done conquering he had control of the north, the vale, the riverlands, the westernlands, the iron islands, the reach, and the stormlands. in the time of the main story there is actually 9 kingdoms once baelor brought in dorne and the crownlands fully formed around kings landing
@@Matser666777 if u read fire and blood the targaryens have always said king of the 7 kingdoms even before dorne joined the fold, 7 is a significant number in the world of westeros symbolism for a lot of things so its a pattern even beforehand
@@drea2280 There were 8 kingdoms in westeros. Only seven kingdoms got conquered. The riverlands got divided into two which the other land called as the crownlands.
Wonder if Alicent was with both Viserys and his grandfather.
Great help knowing the differences...I'm very interested in your analysis of Daemon and Myseria in E.2 ...the story starts (in the show) that he is going to marry Mysaria and that she is with child. Then after the confrontation they don't appear to have any immediate plans to marry and she tells Daemon she will never risk herself in childbirth. What exactly is the book account or does it play out the same? was it just a big joke Daemon played?
she was pregnant in book, loses the baby and Daemon fumes at his brother. her whole "i made sure I'd never get pregnant", and "I'm not with you for gold or power, but just to stop being afraid" bit is pure feminist garbage
Read the book
@@IntellectualCuriosity the purpose of the video is to explain the differences between the books and the show...read that.
@UDLTUBE sorry, can’t read your post
@@MyUserTubeAccount A woman choosing to be alongside a man because she craves safety is kinda countering the global idea of feminism in today's age, doesn't it? Stop searching for SJW bullshit behind every single little thing. Weirdo.
Dope show, but less reason to read the book now without treating it like a different story.
House of the dragon is just a small part of the story. And in the book fire in blood it starts off with Aegon the conqueror and just keeps going from one king to the next. The dance of the dragons was around the middle of the book, if I’m remembering correctly.
But you should really read it because there’s so much more.
@@IntellectualCuriosity I've read the book and I for one find it better than the series. I wish George R.R. Martin would hurry up with part 2 already.
@@dreamguardian8320 he doesn’t know the word ‘hurry’ 😆
@@IntellectualCuriosity Unbelievable.
The book covers far more than just the dance of dragons you fool
The extras wouldn’t have to make a show when the dragons are around, at t he beginning the princess flew the dragon over head, and the people didn’t break a stride. This time period their is many dragons the people are use to them.
King J. Harris 🤣
Otto´s voice even sounds like Tywin.
Maybe it's a transition problem, but it doesn't sound like you understand the source material. Food for thought. Good luck.
The fact that Alicent was 9 years older than Rhaenyra! HELLO!
I can't tell whether the voice is real or text to speech
It's real, it's me.
Damn! You really are pronouncing all the names wrong.
Sarahgirilisit Kelly • Right; It’s the only reason I keep watching the video😂😂😂
I never understand why it’s called a seven kingdom when it’s nine and he Conquer seven Kingdoms but six kings and then establish a 7th kingdom and later one of his descendants married the 9th kingdom into his empire
No one is saying this guy looks like the bad guy in the painting in Ghostbusters 2.
Only goes to show that I will enjoy the books more than the series.
P.S. You forgot to mention that King Viserys the 1st in the book was actually a fat man with a Henry the 8th appearance, and Corlys Velaryon was actually white instead of black.
Wasn’t Corlys’ mother from the summer Isles where the people are dark skinned?
@@IntellectualCuriosity Well, I don't know much of Corlys's family tree, but if you look on images of Corlys, you could see some artwork that show him as a white person.
We all get real world politics/social commentary, but Corlys being black made zero sense in the world because all Targaryens are described as pale and wish to keep the "bloodline" pure, which immediately suggests racist undertones, but that was the point: the whole bunch of em were pathetic inbred incestuous crazy people.
@@IntellectualCuriosity that's show theory not backed by the books. Actor is fine, character is fine too
@@BillyBasd I read the book. Thats where I read about the summer isles connection/suggestion.
Thank you for your clarity
That's Daemon Blackfyre The Black Dragon, not Daemon the Targaryen Prince
Interesting the tv series didnt call him by that.. or did i miss it ?
@@Smiley-ps1yc i believe that’s what he will turn out to be
What I’m like 90% that daemon in the show is the done daemon blackfyre is named after
The thumbnail in the video showed King Daemon Blackfyre, the great grandson of Daemon Targaryen, that's other timeline in the books, don't worry he fixed it👍🏻
@@mckinziedaniel8 In the thumbnail in the part of books OP uploaded one with Daemon Blackfyre a legitimize targaryen bastard we will meet in other show. He was gifted with the sword the King has in the first episode, and named himself after that. He is the great grandson of the Daemon in the show.
I wonder who the last Targaryen heir to receive Agons prophecy was. We know Robert never heard it, Rhaenyra or Viserys able to pass it to the next generation?
It's hinted that Rhaegar knew about it but we don't know if it was told to him by the Mad King or if he discovered it on his own.
@@jamesfarrell483 rhaegar discovered it while reading. He used to be a kid that was more of a scholar. One day he read what he read and decided he needed a sword and needed to be a warrior.
Dany didn't have dreams in the show
that's... not the right Daemon in your thumbnail.. also it would never be a 'word for word' adaption of Fire and Blood.. as this takes up maybe 15 pages of that book that spans over 300 years..
All these immersions just to remember how bad the season 8 was. fuck it ruined my day everytime I got excited about this
how does one pronounce "ae" anyway?
non-splintering lances in got, bouncy rubber weapons in hod
I love your videos but I hate the cultural bagging on David Benioff and DB Weiss. The first five seasons of GoT are perhaps the greatest literary adaptation of all time. Hiw quickly people forget that.
I think the book is 300 years before game of thrones but the show is 200 - 197 years before game of thrones
I have one for you. House Velaryon comes from the Summer Isles in the tv-series
In Fire & Blood, Viserys Maester is Runciter not Mellos…Mellos replaces Runciter after his death during Viserys reign
Honestly the only thing that bothers me is that I know all these Targaryens die. So I’m not as optimistic as I used to be for the main characters.
Hope the Show has huge Differences from the books so we dont know what will happen next ..
To anyone who’s read the book that this based on, how far is the show into the story currently?
50 pages at most.
There were differences in the Game of thrones series too. It’s difficult to make a tv series or movie by sticking to the book.
Why
This one should be a bit easier to adapt. With Fire and Blood being presented as a history book that already gives us 3 different versions of events that might not even be true, to choose from. That will give them more freedom to flesh it out without messing with the canon too much. We don't know how anything actually happened, so far it looks like Mushrooms versions are going to be how things played out.
Why is it so hard to just stick to the source material? It would make it a lot easier when making a script because the story is already made and ready.
I only want to se balerion, but no the only skull of him AGAIN
Its not pronounced Jay Harris. JAH Heir ezzz
It's Otto's fault in the show turning Alicent power hungry
Dude if going your make content about this show /book at least learn to pronounce the characters names properly .Apart from that .cheers
I’m not sure they convinced me in one episode. It was fine. GOT started out great too.
How old is Viserys and Daemon? Like 50 something?
You forgot “The” in the title 😁
Matt smith still making goofy look good
i wonder why old boi J wasn't on the iron throne
These robots need to get names right
I'm not a robot. Wish I was though.
That is Kings Landing though no volcanoes
11:38
Jon Snow and Daenerys aren't involved with The Dance of Dragons.....did you mean the book??
I hope Caraxes lands during the feast
Been 1 episode lol
King J Harris, let's go!
Wait, but the prophecy wasnt in the books at all as far as Aegon = Song of Ice and Fire, right?
And again no dragons in the show..same with GoT...
As u wish, like n subscribe..
Jay Harris :))))))
Fire and blood ? I thought it was ice and fire
Đức Phúc tuyệt vời. Giọng hát ấm áp và hay quá
Thanks Whenever people talk s*** about the D&D OF GOT, I admit it kind of pisses me off. Name for me ANY OTHER SHOW EVER that gave you so many seasons of ABSOLUTE GREATNESS , even if in final season they didn't "bring home the proverbial gold" according to some. Everyone is a Monday Morning Quarterback, ugh... ungrateful. The small folk can be jerks (sometimes) in the words of the Mad King "Burn Them All" 😒
To me got is the best show of all time, which had, sadly, the worst ending of all time. The last two seasons basically ruined every character and their story arcs. It was so bad that I can’t even bring myself to re watch the show again. House of the dragon Is starting off great and thank god the D”s who shall not be named have nothing to do with it!
it was the children of the Forest the ones that caused the doom of Valyria, it was the children of the Forest the ones that gave their "prophetic" dreams to the targeryen, it was the children of the forest the one manipulating men behind the scenes to put Bran in the Iron throne, bran himself said that he was not himself anymore... well the old men transferred his consciousness to him to live again, to continue the children of the forest existence.
Corlys Velaryon has the strangest pale skin I've seen in my life on the show. Am I allowed to say this or will I be called a neo-Nazi? I know that some characters aren't a carbon copy of the books but that's a bit too far there, isn't it?
racist. clown.
Dude criston only beat daemon hand to hand because Daemon started to gloat before officially defeating Criston.
Ah sh1t here we go again
I don't understand the people who consider the last season of GOT a disaster... it might be bc it didn't end the way hoped for or maybe it did not have a happy ending like a fairy tale or maybe jon snow and daenerys didn't marry....i wonder what would've happened if these people who r not satisfied would've directed it
Things wrong with season eight: Bad camera-work during battle sequences. The Long Night was hard to sit through, considering it was too dark to properly watch. The characters had plot-armor to the max extent. Samwell literally getting pushed against a wall by a dozen or so wights yet he survives? 2. The writing took a fat nose dive. GoT used to be synonymous with well-written and deep dialogue that sounded eloquent yet gruff at the same time. The best scenes in early GoT were often just two well-written characters talking to each other for an extended period of time. In season eight the writing turned to shit; it was lazy and cheap, and the insane amount of cock jokes were just not funny and showed that lack of writing prowess early GoT had. 3. Character arcs were completely annihilated. Let's start with Jon Snow; the entire runtime of the show his story revolves around the Night King yet when the time comes he barely does anything. He doesn't even have a fight with the Night King, let alone being the one to strike him down. Arya's involvement was completely out of the blue for the sake of it; it had no payoff nor was it a form of ''fan-service''. Second, Daenerys. Her going mad is in and of itself good, its a story I can get behind BUT the sudden switch is completely retarded. It should've been a slow process. But the worst of all? Jaime Fookin' Lannister. We, throughout the show, get to see the real Jaime who reuined his own reputation to save the citizens of King's Landing, yet in season 8 he suddenly decides he never cared about the innocents? That legimitately counters his entire arc which started during his capture at the hands of Robb Stark.
If you seriously think season 8 is in any way worthy of calling itself Game of Thrones then you don't deserve to call yourself a fan. It's arguably a shitty season to close off one of the best shows ever made.
So, Daemon's forehead actually ends in the book, unlike the show where dude its 75% forehead...
This comment almost took me out the game. 🤣 🤣 💀
LMAO💀
Who tf cares
@@IntellectualCuriosity u obviously
Came here to find out about foreheads , learned what I needed to.
Thank you . 10/10 would suggest to anyone interested in reading about foreheads
Why? Why is there videos like this out there?
Damn ⛔️⛔️⛔️That spoiler at 7:38! Please be careful next time
The meeting does not look regal… It looks like they ran out of money and can’t afford to put candles in the room so they can see one another
MIGUEL QUIT AS A PRODUCER AFTER WRAPPING SEASON 1. JSYK

Everyone just pretending like black valeryons exist is so immersion breaking.
The books clearly state how excited people are to see dark skinned people it was an event.
Corlys Velaryon should have been portrayed by Timothy Omundson
No.
Shut up..
Names confuse the hell out of me…
It’s the similarity and repeating names fault lol
