He did. He maintained that Aegon II had been the lawful king and his mother was an attainted traitor, which is how it went down in history thanks to him.
Thanks to Aegon II and the regents. You can ads Viserys II there too since if he recognize his mother as the rightful Queen, his claim to the IT would be weaker than his 3 nieces
I don't know a single person IRL who gives a shit. And I know plenty who watched GoT (not because they like fantasy, but because it was a "cultural phenomena")
Are you legitimately moronic? It might be a prequel story-wise, but strictly speaking it's just more GoT. The ones who will watch this i the GoT fanbase, which would be plenty if the latter seasons weren't utter shite. There is no "HotD fanbase", to build here. There is the GoT fanbase to keep, what's left of it, anyway.
What are the chances that the show will really portray the Greens as the unequivocally "bad" faction and the Blacks as "good" despite both Rhaenyra and Aegon being shitty rulers?
Some ASOIAF youtubers have already seen the first episode, apparently it's very much not the case. At least one of them outright dislikes later Thrones for removing nuances from the characters, and he thinks HOTD is "more ASOIAF than GOT".
>ASOIAF youtubers
What have these YouTubers had to talk about? The last novel came out in 2011, GoT has finished and killed much of the interest. Do enough people care about that history book on the Targaryens or whatever short stories GRRM has done? I take it these YouTubers don't just talk about ASOIAF.
>consistently one of the most pirated TV show on torrent sites, eclipsing everything but the biggest currently airing MCU >both trailers hit 30+ million views on two official channels alone
The whole "GoT killed much of the interest" has always been mostly wishful thinking. The show ended, so without new content, casual showgays had no reason to stick around, while the "S8 is so bad it killed my firstborn and raped my wife" group is a terminally online bubble that doesn't really reflect the real world.
you can't tell how black and white the conflict may end up looking just from the first episode. The trailers imply Rhaenyra is the main character who's in the right
>fricks around with a private army and casual wars >makes fun of his brother’s dead wife and son >stokes an unwinnable war >cheats on every lover he had >disappears with some dragon rider commoner and makes everybody else clean up his mess >refuses to elaborate
What the frick was his problem?
Sounds like you are insecure that something you care about is not hyped. I was getting at how I doubt Cinemaphile is that interested to even watch the show let alone even choose sides. I may check out a few clips of the first few episodes, though I am unlikely to properly watch it.
Rose's breasts are fricking KINO. The show died with her. Who would have thought that the moment this show-original character left marked when it turned to shit.
>inb4 lots of people here that are making jokes about Milly Alwiener's appearance are the same ones that will be simping for her when the show is airing
Betasteel whining aside, there’s actually a good reason to suspect the Westerosi Targs were bastards rather than Aegon’s pure-blooded descendants as they liked to present themselves. >Aegon I was weirdly sexless and managed to have only 1 kid with Rhaenys despite being married to her for like 20 years >Rhaenys was almost certainly cheating on him or they were in an open marriage (she had a harem of “comely young men” whenever Aegon wasn’t around) >Viserya had never been pregnant until her 40s, when she suddenly declared she was with child when the lords started pressuring Aegon to remarry and secure some spare heirs; keep in mind that she was a sorceress who was into dark magic
Aenys I most likely wasn’t Aegon’s and neither was Maegor.
>Aegon at fifteen was lean and handsome, he caught the eye of many a maiden and Aegon was not indifferent to their charms. Some said he was the very image of his grandsire at the same age. He was skilled with a lance, sword and axe.
I dislike the Aenys and Maegor arent Aegon's kids theory, it seems fitting that the children of the great conqueror are a weak sensible man and a strong cruel man
>jaime in Storm of Swords says that Criston Cole did good stuff and bad stuff so he has a very mixed legacy >Fire and Blood says literally nothing positive about him except that he was good at fighting >then he dies like a chump to some 12 year old
Fire and Blood is so ass. Gurm put zero effort into it.
Before i ever watched an ep of GoT i saw an interview with George rr Martin when he told the interviewer he was required to write 1 episode per season for the show, which at the time was an insanely big hit.
Everything has gone cancer since then
GRRM literally based ASOIAF on european history though. Are you guys just that uneducated or intentionally dishonest? Read up on the wars of the roses, which was his main inspiration for Westeros and the politcal stuff. Also, the Targaryen ancestry was all white in the books, the black Targaryen is 100% fanfic.
I'm not "claiming them" I'm just pointing out what they were in the books. As you said, they were a bunch of incestuous white people. What the frick is wrong with you people where everything you see is through the lense of some us vs them tribal bullshit? You think I only want accurate casting if it depicts white people as heroic, good, virtuous etc? I just want accurate casting, I don't give a frick about pushing any hidden agenda with it.
>Are you guys just that uneducated or intentionally dishonest?
Do you really have to ask this question for all of the troons lurking on this mongolian cartoon website?
They already fricked up by giving Aemond One-Eye an eyepatch instead of having him put a sapphire where his missing eye is tbh.
It's possibly he will get it eventually, we only saw a scene on the trailer with him. I'd guess he will be wearing the sapphire during the storm's end bit at the end of the season
Blacks are objectively correct. You only support greens so you can larp as a nazi and make more black jokes than you normally make.
But I'm not even talking about the show, not going to watch lmao. Why are you people even waiting to watch it? Just read the book and be disappointed now so you can move on rather than later. Fire and Blood is right there.
It’s going to be Red Wedding 2.0 for showgays. >all that child murder and beheading >Alicent forced to watch bound and gagged after they killed her bedmaid >B&C threaten to rape the 6 year old Jaehaera if Helaena doesn’t choose fast enough >we’ll see the aftermath with Helaena gradually going mad from grief and guilt
Helaena's death was just another way the Blacks fricked themselves over. The commoners did love her and they rioted after she died which culminated in the Storming of the Dragonpit which ultimately put an end to Targaryen dragon supremacy and paved the way for Robert's Rebellion over a century later.
Yep. She was already mad and useless as a dragonrider, there was no need to torment her further with captivity and King’s Landing knew it. Rhaenyra was unpopular as is and when Helaena died (or was murdered, as people believed), it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. And yeah, it was this riot that was the beginning of the end for Targs.
I hope they include that scene where that one child prince gets ripped apart by a mob.
One big thing the show failed was the fact that the lower populace just went along with everything post-Cersei nuke. They should have stormed her room and shit down her neck.
He's not supposed to have the sapphire until he shows up at Storm's End and kills Luke or whatever his name was. They might still cut it though, since HBO loves cutting cool shit.
Alicent is a scheming b***h that loses all her children and grandchildren. Rhaenyra is a petulant bawd that gets eaten by a dragon and would have been a bad queen if she ruled. They're both terrible people.
Greens
does she have down syndrome?
Greens
Can't stand Blacks
Greens?
More like fats lmfao.
Rhaenyra. But only because of her children. Both Rhaenyra/Daemon and Alicent/Aegon/Aemond were fricking terrible
Aegon III is ok, he recognized his mother was the usurper.
>he recognized his mother was the usurper.
His regents. KYS greenscum
He did. He maintained that Aegon II had been the lawful king and his mother was an attainted traitor, which is how it went down in history thanks to him.
Thanks to Aegon II and the regents. You can ads Viserys II there too since if he recognize his mother as the rightful Queen, his claim to the IT would be weaker than his 3 nieces
Aegon III acknowledged it himself, anon. He knew his mother was legally the usurper since his uncle had the better claim. His nieces are irrelevant.
this image is wrong, Rhaenyra's daughter died in childbirth
Those are Rhaena and Baela, who were Rhaenyra's stepddaughters/cousins
I see
They kinda came out of nowhere in the fluff
I think GRRM is too obsessed with "dangerous women"
the Blacks are the good guys so
I will support them
>called Realm's Delight in her youth
>is actually fricking ugly
Whichever one does full frontal nudity first
I doubt either Milly or Emily will. A shame.
Oh, so she is actually cute with the right haircut.
it just looks weird when the hair is brighter in tone than the skin. Especially when the skin is reddish pink.
She looks inbred in all those pics mate
Perfect Targ casting then.
shut the frick up moron
Yes, the hot kind of inbred.
>Stepmom Seductions
>Moms Teach Sex
is left Will Pouter’s sister or something?
Why is Rhaenyra orange when the actress is usually white
lighting probably of the show made it look like that.
Anyway these two girls are cuties, and best cast from female characters.
It's definitely not lighting since other white people still look white
>the Blacks are the good guys
I don't know a single person IRL who gives a shit. And I know plenty who watched GoT (not because they like fantasy, but because it was a "cultural phenomena")
Yeah, 99% of people will pick based on how they're portrayed in the show. Hardly any of the show watchers read the books.
same shit will happen to hotd, you think got started off immediately with millions of viewers?
Are you legitimately moronic? It might be a prequel story-wise, but strictly speaking it's just more GoT. The ones who will watch this i the GoT fanbase, which would be plenty if the latter seasons weren't utter shite. There is no "HotD fanbase", to build here. There is the GoT fanbase to keep, what's left of it, anyway.
Cinemaphile viewership/box office predictions always end up opposite
Hotd confirmed mega hit
Team Shepherd. Targs and dragons cause problems.
She's cute, she has that downy look, a perfect cast for something about incest relationship.
What are the chances that the show will really portray the Greens as the unequivocally "bad" faction and the Blacks as "good" despite both Rhaenyra and Aegon being shitty rulers?
Some ASOIAF youtubers have already seen the first episode, apparently it's very much not the case. At least one of them outright dislikes later Thrones for removing nuances from the characters, and he thinks HOTD is "more ASOIAF than GOT".

Yeah. Trailer views suggest this show will be popular.
but they said it was DEAD!!!!!
>a terminally online bubble that doesn't really reflect the real world.
everyone my i age i know watched this show and of these not a single one like the last season
You shills have to try harder, shitting up my tv with your dog shit paid opinions.
you can't tell how black and white the conflict may end up looking just from the first episode. The trailers imply Rhaenyra is the main character who's in the right
Is there gratuitous nudity in this show?
only if the couple is interracial
Then I will not be watching it, thank you.
Daemon will be hanging out in brothels at least. So there will be some nudity.
We don't sexualize women anymore anon but can I interest you in some black man ass?
None that would appeal to the MALE GAZE. That's bad now. Probably naked men though, if you needed any further disincentives to watch.
lots and lots of manass and a few dicks here and there
Hopefully in the flashback scenes.
Greens but daemon is badass, maybe blacks
nah, deamon just fricks off at the end
>fricks around with a private army and casual wars
>makes fun of his brother’s dead wife and son

What the frick was his problem?
he le rogue prince
Will Cinemaphile even watch this show?
Why, would you feel like you were doing something wrong if Cinemaphile didn't watch it? Do you need to feel like you fit in?
Sounds like you are insecure that something you care about is not hyped. I was getting at how I doubt Cinemaphile is that interested to even watch the show let alone even choose sides. I may check out a few clips of the first few episodes, though I am unlikely to properly watch it.
i'd probably watch the first episode out of curiosity, same as the Rangz of Power, but definitely do not see myself watching anything past that.
Greens
I don't like Blacks
Hope we get a Milly nude scene. Not as interested in Emma. Prefer "the Realm's delight" Rhaenyra. I doubt we will get it though.
They're both hotter when they're older
Allicent is played by the same actress right?
No.
Older Alicent yes, older Rhaenyra no.
The casting of Rhaenrya is growing on me
both of the actress look very "outherworldly" beautiful when fully in costume
The Blacked
You must be fricked to want to watch this show tbh
Neither, female characters aren't compelling. I just want to watch Daemon, Aegon, and Aemond frick everyone's day up.
Depends on whose breasts are bigger
Starting from Khaleesi as 1, I roll
Rose's breasts are fricking KINO. The show died with her. Who would have thought that the moment this show-original character left marked when it turned to shit.
I'd kill a puppy to have bad puççi and Ros.
how can anyone look at the casting for og GoT and not realize how fricking gay the casting for Rhaenyra. Its really baffling
>inb4 lots of people here that are making jokes about Milly Alwiener's appearance are the same ones that will be simping for her when the show is airing
She looks like a moronic Finn
The one who shows boobs and bussy
Odds are that neither will. Maybe the older version actresses.
Will they show Daemon sleeping with younger or older Rhaenyra?
Older only. The younger one will be with Criston and/or Harwin
I doubt they show Milly in any sex scenes even though she's in her 20s because she's playing a presumably teenaged Rhaenyra
The showrunners already said they'll show rape on screen I don't think they would care about fictional ages
didn't stop them before
Milly > Maisie
No lies detected.
Those breasts were pretty good. Shame about her face.
The older one. Whitebois get our scrapes after we fill their women with BBC
Laenor never touched Rhaenyra and all of "their" kids were fathered by a Strong White Bull
I can't wait for Tariq Nasheed to include this his Buck Breaking sequel.
The side with no Black folk
Greens. Reddit is already declared for blacks.
All Targs are pretenders. Daemon Blackfyre was the true heir.
He had the sword
Ok bittercuck
baste. Daemon nor Bittersteel were kinslayers unlike the targs
Betasteel whining aside, there’s actually a good reason to suspect the Westerosi Targs were bastards rather than Aegon’s pure-blooded descendants as they liked to present themselves.
>Aegon I was weirdly sexless and managed to have only 1 kid with Rhaenys despite being married to her for like 20 years
>Rhaenys was almost certainly cheating on him or they were in an open marriage (she had a harem of “comely young men” whenever Aegon wasn’t around)
>Viserya had never been pregnant until her 40s, when she suddenly declared she was with child when the lords started pressuring Aegon to remarry and secure some spare heirs; keep in mind that she was a sorceress who was into dark magic
Aenys I most likely wasn’t Aegon’s and neither was Maegor.
Aenys' son looked like Aegon.
Or he simply looked like Rhaenys. Recall Maekar and Baelor Breakspear - Maekar looked like a stereotypical Targ, but Baelor looked Dornish.
>Aegon at fifteen was lean and handsome, he caught the eye of many a maiden and Aegon was not indifferent to their charms. Some said he was the very image of his grandsire at the same age. He was skilled with a lance, sword and axe.
I dislike the Aenys and Maegor arent Aegon's kids theory, it seems fitting that the children of the great conqueror are a weak sensible man and a strong cruel man
>I support Alicent Hig AAAAKKKK
I can't remember which Tully it was during the Dance but I reckon if he's in it they'll be changing his name from Grover/Kermit/Elmo
>jaime in Storm of Swords says that Criston Cole did good stuff and bad stuff so he has a very mixed legacy
>Fire and Blood says literally nothing positive about him except that he was good at fighting
>then he dies like a chump to some 12 year old
Fire and Blood is so ass. Gurm put zero effort into it.
Cole seemed based to me. He's a personal incel hero if he supported the greens because Rhaenyra rejected him
>AAAAKKKK
that's the Blacks line
It was a different time.
is this official artwork? literally looks like racebait porn
Its official. The comics were awesome.
I miss Viserys so much. He was such a complete shit. Imagine him and Joffrey in the same room. The b***hfits would be the stuff of legend.
Show would have been so much more kino if he got the Dothraki like he was promised and rode on Joffrey.
Before i ever watched an ep of GoT i saw an interview with George rr Martin when he told the interviewer he was required to write 1 episode per season for the show, which at the time was an insanely big hit.
Everything has gone cancer since then
uhhhh hwhite bros???
>Dany was 13/14 when she married Drogo
>They make her look like a 30yo woman with 3 children
Not watching any show that tramples European culture/heritage.
Ah yes, the european heritage of dragon people written by an American israelite
take a hike bozos, you can sit through this gross American propaganda but I won't.
GRRM literally based ASOIAF on european history though. Are you guys just that uneducated or intentionally dishonest? Read up on the wars of the roses, which was his main inspiration for Westeros and the politcal stuff. Also, the Targaryen ancestry was all white in the books, the black Targaryen is 100% fanfic.
Targaryen ancestry was probably some messed up dragon bestiality and crossbreeding, so I wouldn’t be so eager to claim them if I were you.
I'm not "claiming them" I'm just pointing out what they were in the books. As you said, they were a bunch of incestuous white people. What the frick is wrong with you people where everything you see is through the lense of some us vs them tribal bullshit?

It's not real man
I’ll take the hillbilly. She can prance around in her Daisy Dukes while I play banjo.
Super cool how they cant cast attractive women anymore becasue it upsets the hambeasts who watch this tripe.
not watching this shit no matter how much you spam it
Greens obviously
>Which queen will Cinemaphile support?
>implying either will be Queen, and not some bland looking negress like Zendaya
They both do become Queens you moron
which ever one has the biggest penis
Once you go Black you never go back
the queen in Northman is so hot, especially when she's seducing her blood-related son, what the hell
Blacks are objectively correct. You only support greens so you can larp as a nazi and make more black jokes than you normally make.
But I'm not even talking about the show, not going to watch lmao. Why are you people even waiting to watch it? Just read the book and be disappointed now so you can move on rather than later. Fire and Blood is right there.
Fire and Blood is a history book though and most of the characters have no personality
This. There's also like no dialogue, fight choreography, etc. The show is gonna flesh that out
no they are not moron, Viserys getting the throne over Rhaenys the literal queen who never was set the precedent of male heirs over female.
>yfw Blood and Cheese
It’s going to be Red Wedding 2.0 for showgays.
>all that child murder and beheading
>Alicent forced to watch bound and gagged after they killed her bedmaid
>B&C threaten to rape the 6 year old Jaehaera if Helaena doesn’t choose fast enough
>we’ll see the aftermath with Helaena gradually going mad from grief and guilt
Helaena’s story is so sad. She was by all accounts a genuinely nice person beloved by common people and a great mom.
Helaena's death was just another way the Blacks fricked themselves over. The commoners did love her and they rioted after she died which culminated in the Storming of the Dragonpit which ultimately put an end to Targaryen dragon supremacy and paved the way for Robert's Rebellion over a century later.

And yeah, it was this riot that was the beginning of the end for Targs.
Frick the Blacks. Glad Shitnyra became dragon chow.
ugly
I hope they include that scene where that one child prince gets ripped apart by a mob.
One big thing the show failed was the fact that the lower populace just went along with everything post-Cersei nuke. They should have stormed her room and shit down her neck.
BLACKFYREBROS RISE UP!
They already fricked up by giving Aemond One-Eye an eyepatch instead of having him put a sapphire where his missing eye is tbh.
I'm sorry but a sapphire eye would look ridiculous in live action. Same with Daario's hair
He's not supposed to have the sapphire until he shows up at Storm's End and kills Luke or whatever his name was. They might still cut it though, since HBO loves cutting cool shit.
Left looks like a burn victim
Alicent is a scheming b***h that loses all her children and grandchildren. Rhaenyra is a petulant bawd that gets eaten by a dragon and would have been a bad queen if she ruled. They're both terrible people.
Pretty sure i will stand with blacks and spam in Rhaenyra's favour like a peak form stannisgay
