How’s he genna ride a dragon without depth perception? Whole season is full of plot holes if you ask me.
>depth perception?
That's a fricking meme anon
you’re a fricking meme
it isn't. it takes both eyes to perceive distance. It's odd how it works.. my left eye is shot and I have goofy vision..
Get an eye transplant.
i kind of have.. 3 eye corrective surgeries because i resemble a chameleon with lazy eye
I mean a completely new eye.
Not him but does that naruto shit even work? I'm guessing no .
This. I require corrective lenses in both eyes, but only wear one contact lenses, and I've never had problems. Sometimes failing at high-fiving someone, but that's all.
this. close one eye, you don't lose your sense of depth, there are too many cues
dragons aren't airplanes, they fly on faith
he doesnt need perception if he's linked with his dragon. the dragon will see for him..
The dragon does seem a bit long in the tooth. I have a feeling it could croak any second. How long do these things live?
roughly 170 years
Approximately how old is it now?
i honestly don't know anon. she's an old girl though,,
Well she was born after the Doom so at most its the current year (literally). So nearly 130 or so.
*also I think balerion was 180 when he died, dont quote me though..
No, that’s how long Balerion happened to live, and Balerion was affected by horrific injuries he sustained in Valyria.
I always find it funny how dragons in GoT are supposed to be these ancient giant monsters but there are clams and sharks that swim laps around them lifespan-wise. GRRM should've bumped their natural age up to 300-500 years
They are supposedly getting stronger the bigger they get though, so in effect he got the strongest dragon of all.
The weirdest thing about the story is how they allowed him to even try (but I guess the mythological "it bonds forever" lore is supposed to be taken at face value).
That's just it. They didn't allow him he snuck up to it in the night. That's why the entire fight that cost him his eye broke out.
they didnt allow him. he just went ahead and did it. which takes balls considering vhagar is an old crabby c**t
>which takes balls
If he had gotten roasted people would remember him as an idiot. Fine line between bravery and stupidity.
Yeah I know. I mean how there wasn't a huge fuss by the adults (and maybe why they didn't guard it more closely for things like that to not happen), but I guess in a show that has mythological lore of the type "it bonds forever with 1 person only!": we can cut it some slack on being too "logical".
i get it.. it's a quick way to do it for the writers..
perhaps it needs a scene of, "HOW DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN FOOLS?". "ok.. there's no going back now.. the dragon is the kid's ..but your family owe us".
it vaguely was covered in the scene where otto was speaking with alicent, where he mentioned that "the boy was right". but there should've been an after seen after the debacle in the driftmark throne room after everyone cleared out. It wouldve taken 1 minute and clarified things
a close hearted discussion between otto and aemond would've been kino.. "you did well boy" or something along those lines
otto-"i am proud of you grandson, you taming vhagar took allot of courage, and I commend you for it". kino
the guy said he was too cool for school and just licked the stamp and sent it
probably why Vhagar accepted him, his great great great great grandma had a similar mindset. As much as the pure valyrian girls seethe the dragon chooses the rider, not the other way around
Dragons (in the show) respect conquerors and those who show power by taking the initiative. The boy was basically telling the dragon through his actions “Hey, you aren’t going to be bequeathed to someone like an old piece of israeliteelry. Let’s fricking gooooooo”
Let's fricking go little conquering eye-patched dragon-rider
reddit commentary
Bruh
THEY SAID I SHOULDN'T FLY WITH JUST ONE EYE
I AM BENDER PLEASE INSERT GIRDLE
Girder, not girdle
I have an eye that's pretty much useless, brain won't use it unless I close the good one, and my depth perception is perfect. I used to be a very good goalkeeper and work in the 3D art industry.
Pretty sure I could fly an airplane or drive a car with one eye constantly closed, depth perception is a meme, he’ll do fine
This man worried about depth perception in a fantasy show lmao.
>if a show has dragons then nothing else should be realistic because dragons aren’t real
Wow what a cold room IQ take. Are you moronic?
I think you must be the moron for thinking dragons need to be piloted the same way as airplanes do.
Close one eye and pick something up from your desk. Works fine.
go out for a ride on your horse and keep one eye closed at all times. Post results.
dragon is magical and smarter than horse. they understand a lot of words. also there is call dragon (magical) bonding,
>gets eye sewn shut
>doesnt complain
waht a fricking chad. im team aemond now
They basically gave him methamphetamine aka milk of the poppy
*opium
I was given an opium-based painkiller in a hospital once, and within 20 minutes I was asking the nurse for more.
I totally get how people can get addicted to it.
Through IV or pill form?
I was given methamphetamine, it's not addictive, I think I needed something stronger
you're a fricking moron. meth isn't a painkiller. and you don't make meth with poppies
George RR martin. this is your audience. moronic redditors who need to be neutered.
Just a pill. It still hit almost immediately, and it still felt a bliss (especially after the pain).
I love this kind of character. His life is full of shit and then he takes steps to improve it and then he's hated on top but it's better that way than doing nothing.
Are there any other kino characters like this?
Stannis. But normies and showrunners will write them as incels
>be born to the literal 0.0000001% on the continent
>life is full of shit
Anon, seek assisted suicide.

Still sucks if you only get to interact with the other members of that 0.0000001% and they all treat you like shit.
Stanis, Otto, Criston Cole, Larys
other shows?
In a current show... Adar in ROP. ROP is very bad, but Adar is a god character.
Larys seems too 1-dimensional psychopathic.
If Viserys had died sooner,when Rhaenyra and Alicient were kids, war would have been averted.
I wish I was a Targaryen
Aemond "The Bastard-Beater" Targaryen
Don't forget to add "Black person beater" as well.
lil homie doesn't seem too peeved.
why is it when i see white children i feel the urge to protect them?
he got a dragon, "it was a fair exchange mother".
They have sutures? Why didn't they use them on Viserys' wife?
because her abdomen was sliced open. you cant fix that with thread...
you aren't cool for being a loser
he got more than he lost.
talking about you op
I got more than I lost.
reddit has an identity crisis. they want to hate him so they say they do, but they like him.
>Not /r/freefolk
ngmi

>tem black
Literal cucks
>life having given him nothing
Hes literally the kings son, you mongoloid. Hes just an autistic spoiled kid whos lucky to be born into nobility.
life is relative. he lives next to other kids who had dragons and they would become kings and he had nothing compared to most other kids around him.
also living in "medieval" times it's shit living compared to modern kids even if they are princes (e.g. easy ways to die in war or be mudered etc.).
Boo hoo, kid doesnt get a dawgon boo hoo, hes wittlely me!.
relative, you have it too. you are a "king" too with more than any king in a show like this if you live in 2022 and not in medieval times with 100 things ready to murder you every day.
>he had nothing compared to most other kids around him
Dragons were literally the only thing he didn't have that his siblings did. And even then he could have gotten a dragon later in life from an egg.
Most modern kids don't live in first world countries and lives may not be all that better compared to kids today.Aalso living in "modern" times it's shit living compared to future kids(e.g. easy ways to die from meteor impacts or be mudered etc.)
dragons aren't just toys in that story, they are literally like having nuclear bombs today.
he knew having a dragon means immense power as an adult for political reasons.
Doesn't mean he had nothing. Even if he never got a dragon(which he very well might still gotten later) if war broke out his brothers would use their dragons to protect him. He would never want for food, everybody would defer to his whims,he would receive the finest in education,arts,food,women,travel etc. He had nothing to be angsty about.
It's a story that brothers murder brothers for breakfast and then marry their sisters. Relying on other kids to save him wouldn't be that smart.
Getting that dragon was a fair exchange.
>takes someone elses shit
>talks shit
>almost commits murder
>gets hit
>thinks he is the victim
lmao
What is he supposed to do? Let the other kids bully him with the pig?
They got what they deserved and he got more than he lost.
>dont get bullied
>dont be a thief
>dont talk shit
>>don't get bullied
that's how you do it
people are c**ts.
>Don't be a thief
What? what did he stole exactly?
dragon.. it's girl cope. aemond won the dragon and blacks are coping
My hearth
He must have some that ocean Targayen in him.
>Take back your family's property that some mulatta stole years ago
>Beat off two mutts and two vicious bastards in a 4v1 on your own
>Get mutilated in a surprise attack by one of the fatherless bastards
>Don't shed a single tear because you know you won
BlackBlack folk seething rn
I just watched the new episode today and Aemond is so much better than his brother it's crazy.
>Aegon does nothing during the episode except get drunk and pass out
>Aemond tames a giant dragon and rides it
>also gets into a fight with four other kids and loses an eye
It's really hard to not be Team Alicent.
I hate Alicent, but I like Aemond's arc. What does it mean?
You hate Alicent? The only thing she ever did to make me hate her was when she refused to help Viserys pick up his blanket. I made a webm of Aemond riding the dragon...
I hate the dark lighting, it's annoying as heck. Thanks anon, btw nta
>I hate the dark lighting, it's annoying as heck
What's weird is it didn't feel that dark while I was watching the episode but they seem pretty dark in these webms. Maybe it seemed less dark because I have subtitles so I can always tell what's going on.
I have huge subtitles when watching so the natural lighting of the show doesn't bother me.
This episode was "The long night" dark. Idk how they managed to frick up like this again
Day-for-night shooting the first half. It was so gross looking.
There are ways to lighten it up automatically, I should find some way for players to do it automatically.
Though that one seems 'burned out' because it looks crap compared to the OP pic (same method).
I just turn up the gamma on my monitor
gamma alone may burn it out, or make it look too lighted.
if it was just gamma
hrm nevermind, it might still be good, because my source was that webm and not the actual show.
lmao poorgays need to get OLED tvs. Sorry you cant see the show thats made for top tier screens not sorry get some money
I have no issue stupid. Also no OLED is going to save you if you leave the light on.
Also enjoy your burn-in lol.
>Also enjoy your burn-in lol.
by the time that becomes an issue i'll probably have an even better one.
ive been using the 48inch lg oled as my pc screen for about two years now, like 24 hours a day and it hasn't shown any burnin yet
they want to force you to buy OLED
Tram I let my father convince me it’s a good idea to murder my childhood best friend and her children for no reason?
I'm not sure what you're saying but I think Alicent was right to be angry at what happened. I also love that Ser Criston is loyal to Alicent. Their team is so good. She has Larys AND Criston.
I don't like Alicent much, but I don't blame her about that scene in general, because mothers are extremely biased for their kids by default.
I share her anger when something happens to someone I love or just a friend. I'm more angry when it happens to a friend than if it happened to me. By the way, HOW crazy was this ending. Oh my god... This episode was boring for the first ten minutes but then it was great.
lol I must be too white. I just realized that was Laenor. I was like "why are we shown a common guard escorting him out"?
>I just realized that was Laenor
Seriously? I could tell it was Laenor without his hair. That's why I thought it was amazing because I thought Qarl had ended him and it cuts to them in a boat.
did rhaenrys plan on laenor escaping? in her previous dialogue it seemed so..
I honestly believe that Rhaenyra and Daemon didn't plan on killing Laenor and the dialogue was written that way to make the audience think he was going to die. It was just to trick us.
Yes. Plus this fits with the previous episode's dialogue about wanting to flee before the storm arrives.
Yeah knowing after the fact that he wasn't murdered, it was probably all planned by all 3-4 them in advance to not be just common murder.
It makes sense because she seems cruel but not THAT cruel in her arc and in a sense it was a cheap trick of writing for a 'twist'.
Agreed. but I think she's less cruel than perceived, and it will be her downfall. Just like her father. She hinted that people would think laenor was murdered, but it was just a matter of gossip, because he was not.. She saw him as a good man but at the same time wanted rid of him.. I think it was planned between all partties, laenor knew the jist of what was to come..
not saying her father was cruel, but his kindness along with hers will be detrimental and the ultimate cause of their downfall
I think Rhaenyra probably really would have had Leanor killed and I wonder if his speech about committing to their marriage is what convinced her not to do it. it definitely didn't work to keep their marriage in tact, but maybe it saved his life.
his speech absolutely caused her to spare his life
the last cut before the next scene you could see it in her face, she wanted to spare him
they had a mutual agreement, and in the last moment she wanted to uphold that agreement. both of them would walk out unscathed. though I hate rhaenyra for her negligence I feel she kept her word towards laenor
Why do you talk like a b***h?
>I'M NOT CRAZY! SHE SWAPPED THOSE BASTARDS!
>life has given him nothing
>noble child of a legendary house and bloodline
Are the Dunk and Egg books any good? Do they show Egg going mad?
Anyone else think it was hilarious that it cuts to Ser Criston during this dialogue? I liked it.
I was reading the wikis about Aemond. Criston is supposed to be training him later. I guess they set up why Criston likes Aemond now.
>Criston is supposed to be training him later
He's already training him. If you mean further training then that's good news because Criston is the best...
Yeah, I think I read about further training, after he loses the eye.
So they copied the Rings of Power training but added more cuts
All the way down to the spank with a sword.
is he sworn to the queen or the king? does alicent really have the authority to call for such demands or was she just being a b***h?
>is he sworn to the queen or the king?
Just a guess but I think King is number 1 and Queen 2. So... the only person who can override The Queen's order is The King. That's what I think. He has to do it unless Viserys says stop.
i thought so too. basically, alicent was being driven by pure emotion and viserys was 100% correct in what he said,.
also in the GoT universe kind leaders are seen as weak when 75% of the time they are correct
Lol based Ser Criston laughing at Alicent's gay jokes
So Khal Drogo gets a scratch and he dies but this homosexual thousands of years prior has that and lives? Frick off.
He was poisoned.
He got his ass beat by two blacks girls. He's a edgelord and a future incel.
>incel
you sure about that?
Yeah, i'm sure he got his ass whooped by two Black girls.
Black person he died a dragon riders death
>He's a edgelord and a future incel.
Fictional man is not you anon
He's not me. If I coldwienered a little girl she wouldn't be getting back up, let alone beating my ass and embarrassing me in front of everyone. Typical 13 year old white edgelord that got punked by some homies lol.
He beat the shit out of all 4 of the little bastards. Even with the knife out he was winning until the littlest bastard threw dirt in his eye.
This. Aemond was holding his own against 4 kids but then got sand thrown in his eyes and slashed with a knife. What the shit is that.
their all children and mislead.. its ultimately viserys fault, even though he's a good man..
Isn't Aemond significantly older than all of them? That's not impressive
>Isn't Aemond significantly older than all of them?
He doesn't seem that old. They all looked like kids to me. Anyway, I think Aemond should marry and fug his sister. Having Vhagar will probably give him the confidence to do that.
>I would totally dick down my sister in every single fricking hole if only mother allowed me to
What did Aemond mean by this, metaphorically speaking?
Why would you type out what he actually meant then ask what the meant.
he's written to be 10 in that scene.
the actor seems 12~14?
If I remember right, wasn't Alicent already pregnant with him before Rhaenyra got married?
he is 10 the girls are 8 the boys are 9 and 6
Dawg, he's a male and he threw all his weight in to close fist punch a girl and it didn't even phase her. He's a b***h. Remove the older brother and it was a toddler + 2 little girls which shouldn't even equal 1/4 the strength of a boy his age, yet those two black girls dented his face up lol. What a laughing stock. White edgelord got rocked now he's going to do a metaphorical school shooting with his dragon because he couldn't even throw hands with some black girls. And this is the homosexual you see yourself in.
>mental breakdown
Aemond is supposed to be only 10 in that scene.
When I was 10, there wasn't a girl at my age or younger on this planet that could tank a punch from me. The boy hits like a b***h, pure incel energy.
The black girls being practically equal in strength to the boys was just bad woke writing, I just ignored that part. Honestly, I just tune out anything having to do with the velaryons at this point, they're out of place and get in the way of me enjoying such a great show.
Boys and Girls don't really divert in strength until puberty hits so there was nothing wrong with how they portrayed that fight.
also black girls are probably stronger physically than white boys
I get it, you like the show. But cut the dick riding out, it makes you look like hired shills.
Girls actually hit puberty earlier than boys so there's a short period at about 12-14 (varies from person to person) where girls are stronger than boys. When we take into account that blacks are fast life history strategists then the girls would mature even earlier, this means that Aemond btfo'ing all of them is even more impressive than it appears.
>Remove the older brother
>Just remove the strongest enemy fighter from the equation
Nah lol. Sure he was bigger but it was still a 1v4 and he handled it like a champ. You have no idea how hard it is to fight outnumbered, he wasn't a 20 years old, he was a 10 years old against several 8 years old. He could have very well lost but he didn't
>he was a 10 years old against several 8 years old.
First he was clearly the biggest one there, hence why he was so arrogant. Second, two where little girls and one of the boys has the frame of someone a year out of toddler hood. 3 0s still add up to zero. And he was scrapping with the Black girls before the older one stepped in. He literally got free hits on the black girls, one literally got fully rocked and fell back but the boy hits so weak, even with his entire weight behind the punch, that the little black girl walked it off, along with her sister, and was still able to scrap to the point they were doing the most work when he was on the ground. Frick, the homie girls walked away completely unscathed and one of them took the hardest direct blow from the biggest boy in the brawl. Absolutely embarrassing lol.
sir, it's a show about dragons breathing fire.
And Black folk larping as European aristocrats. What's your point?
>Absolutely embarrassing lol
Having a tiny dragons and then sperging out about is is embarrassing
You have never been in a fight.
Doesn't matter if the girls are weak, they are not a 0 at all. They would be in a 1v1, but the fact that he has to keep an eye on them, avoid their hits and hit back while ALSO fighting jace puts him in an already disadvantageous position
You don't need to avoid the hits of little girls. They don't do damage and they're insanely slow, and they will be floored from a single blow from a boy, especially the type of blow that Aemond threw at one of them. The boy is just weak, hence why those black girls were able to beat his ass lol. Little wimpy white boi getting emasculated by black girl magic.
That's why he needed the dragon. It was a fair exchange.
>They won't do damage
Yes they will moron
Even a weak hit on the head is still going to frick with you if you are focusing on someone esle.
You don't know what the frick you are talking about
>Dawg, he's a male and he threw all his weight in to close fist punch a girl and it didn't even phase her.
That's on the writers. Irl that girl would have hit the floor 9 times out of 10. Even with the added testosterone of a black girl.
morons, they're all prepubescent little children and at that point the strength difference between boys and girls is minimal. It was a 4v1.
>t. never got into a fight as a child
Oh, it shows
Seriously though, why would anyone support the Greens at this point except to be contrarian?
Alicent is a straight up c**t.
Her #1 bodyguard is a scorned idiot who's mad that he got to frick the princess but she didn't want to abandon literally everything to marry him.
Aegon is based to be fair, but clearly just wants to get drunk and frick slags with little concern for politics or being king.
Aemond is a twat.
The sister is so unmemorable that I can't remember her name.
Larys is basically a moustache-twirling villain meme.
Otto is just a shit Tywin Lannister but a brainlet.
It's like supporting Skeletor in He-Man, or Sauron in Lord of the Rings
the red pill is that in a good story, everyone is a c**t because real life is that way.
you did well to see half of them as c**ts but your mission is to see the other half.
almost all of the interesting characters are on the greens' side, whenever they're offscreen the show becomes way less interesting. I want them to win so they can continue their edgelord/coomer shenanigans
Greens have better characters and are based. Men should always sit on the Iron Throne before a woman.
Dumb prequel show.
How in the frick do the targs job and have all their dragons die? Stupid writing.
only Black folk and women don't think aemond is cool
So the greens are called the greens, what are they going to call the blacks?
the urban folk
It's funny how a scene of a bunch of toddlers fighting had more character, stakes, choreography, and is more exciting than the "epic" battle in episode 6 of rings of power.
RoP is show where they had 1 billion dollars, and they gave it to showrunners and directors who have done nothing good in the life.
it's why it constantly feels like a 1990s soap opera and all the action scenes are shit.
>Some folks are born, dragon egg in cradle
>it ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no bastard son
Am I the only one who found him hot after he lost his eye?
Maybe he reminds you of Geralt. Geralt kept his eye but that's probably because he's superhuman.
>the greens vouch for honor, justice, love
>the blacks vouch for degeneracy, the end of tradition, to let your lower instincts control you
>the blacks are being painted as the good guys
What did they mean with this?
justice?? when alicent let larys and cole get away, as long as ally to her??
Love?? when she had loveless married, loveless father who only used it? and mary aegon to heleana even tho they dont love each other?
Honor?? when she let larys came in her feet? or when she usurpe and disobey king's will??
man, you judge people poorly..
Name ONE (1) thing that Viserys did wrong this episode
Make it all episodes and I still have nothing.
Let his Daughter keep her bastard sons while also turning a blind eye to his brother fricking his daughter?
Since that's a question, no.
didn't have an orgy with Alicent and Monke after he ordered Monke to not age.
I like him but he does everything wrong.
He didn't even care about his son losing an eye, instead he started sperging at him for telling the truth about the bastards. He didn't even expect an apology from luke for the eye, he just threatened to cut everyone's tongue.
He is not a good father to anyone but rahenyra.
kings don't last long if they are not impartial
He'd be downplaying the charge of them being bastards, the consequences of the charge being death for Rhaenyra and all 3 of the children.
And, if Rhaenyra fought back, the consequences could be complete civil war, good thing everyone listens to Viserys and that doesn't happen :^]
His son is an edgelord moron to be fair, he's not worth a civil war
He let his wife openly call for the mutilation of his grandsons. He let his wife assault his daughter.
He provided zero punishment for his wife's actions.
>He provided zero punishment for his wife's actions.
There was no need for punishment what she did was what all mothers would
You fight on whether a fight is realistic. It's a fantasy show. If you want realistic it's not here.
does ur family also have a history of incest. just asking for a friend
I want to help you but you speak nonsense
>Anon doesn't know the meaning of mfw
>mfw
his face in that whole scene is kinographic
> but mmooooooooooom... he called as baaaaaaaaastards...........
> his face knowing it's literally the truth
Yeah that's clear. The King isn't having a factual argument, his stance is purely political to save the throne.
They should have shown Vhagar rejecting the other kids or something. Would have made it clearer that the dragon chooses the rider, instead of just the first person that sneaks up on one lol
>>life having given him nothing
>Has a better life than 99.99% of the people in Westeros and Essos just because he was born in the right family
What’s the name of the song that goes
Ohh ahh ahh, ooh ahh ahh
Dragon thieves should be hanged.
You quite literally cannot steal a dragon in asoiaf, black moron
The hour of the wolf is coming, greenfricker.
