Welcome back everyone it's charlie. this is my house of the Dragon season 2
top 10 WTF predictions video just like I used to do every season for the main Game of Thrones
series they've already explained some of their big plans for the future of the show and how
they're adapting the story and I'll be doing house the dragon videos during the off season
just like I used to do for the main Series so be sure to subscribe to get everything careful
for spoilers from everything from season one if you haven't watched the show yet but starting
with number one the question on everyone's mind like biggest question when is House of
the Dragon season 2 episode 1 going to Premiere so here's the thing there have been Reliable Reports
they won't actually start filming season two on location until almost March 2023 it takes over
a year to turn a season around nowadays because of all the post-production and special effects
that they have to do for all the big dragons and everything else so it won't take quite as long
as it took season one to film because there were a bunch of extra delays during season
one but the other big thing is the Emmys there are all these rules about when episodes have
to air Emmy's always a big thing for the Game of Thrones series they won so many of them HBO
loves Emmy Awards based on the new rules that they have the entire run of season 2 episodes
like season 2 episode 10 will have to finish before the Emmys cut off date at the end of
May or the entire show won't be able to start till either June or later in the year none of
the season 2 episodes can overlap between May and June so like the entire season has to finish
before the end of May or it will all start after may I think HBO would love to go back to airing
the show in the spring like it used to for all the old seasons of Game of Thrones but because
it takes so long for them to film Seasons now they probably won't finish till a little bit
later meaning they would probably hold the show till like July in order for the show to air in
the spring it would have to start on March 26th so set your clock by that either it'll start March 26
or it'll start in like July or around this same time next year the season one aired number two
house the dragon the dance of the dragons like the main event that the whole show is supposed
to be covering right now will be Four Seasons long George RR Martin revealed this recently
so it's pretty relaxed liable but also they're turning the show into more of an anthology show
Ryan Condall the showrunner said that one of the other shows that they referenced when they were
in The Writer's room was the crown which is like an anthology type of series which jumps between
different versions of the actors as they get older through time but also they plan on taking
it one step further and using the show to cover other major time periods in the Targaryen history
like they'll jump to the past and do aegon the Conqueror in the conquest of the Seven Kingdoms
or they'll jump forward do the blackfy rebellions or even later do Tales of Duncan egg you get the
idea in fact the showrunner Ryan Condell said that he was actually developing a Tales of Duncan egg
show that was completely different for HBO before George R Martin found him and hired him on to do
this house the dragon series they still plan on calling the show House of the Dragon because it's
still about the Targaryen family just said during a different time period so when we get to season
five that'll be like the different time period whether we go to the pass into aegon's conquest
or the future and do some other event and that's how you get 10 to 12 Seasons or whatever of house
the dragon it's just them using different actors during different time periods which is also how
they get around the problem of having to pay the actors like a million dollars per episode because
that's what happens when shows run for like more than seven to ten Seasons by the end of the main
Game of Thrones series all the major actors like the biggest ones were earning crazy money per
episode number three how's the Dragon season 2 episode 1 will probably begin pretty soon after
the events of season 1 episode 10 like the next day because as rhaenyra said to Otto Hightower
the red keep the greens would have their answer on the morrow they ended with that reaction shot
of rhaenyra turning around all quite all pissed off learning about luceris's death so obviously
their answer on the mara will be very different from what her answer might have been before that
the answer will be their retaliation for the death of luceris like they will respond in kind
with actions not words and their retaliation will probably be a combination of at least two major
events like one big scale Massive Attack like a traditional declaration of war where Daemon pays
off his earlier reference where he said he was going to take harrenhal like he said they needed
to gain control of that and the riverlands as well as paying off the alliance with Grover Tully the
current lord of House Tully that they kind of joked about a little bit because it's kind of
a Sesame Street reference inside Game of Thrones there's also a Kermit Tully that's around during
this period of the timeline too George R Martin Big Jim Hansen fan either way them controlling
this area of Westeros is critical during the dance of the Dragons because it allows them to
box in the greens in King's Landing in the crown lands here they already control pretty much the
entire Eastern Seaboard of Westeros at this point number four the more traditional big battle at the
beginning of season two like I said the burning of harrenhal Daemon taking harrenhal meant to be
a big parallel for aegon the conkers conquest of the Seven Kingdoms during the conquest harrenhal
was like the first major castle that he took it was the Second Battle like it wasn't the first
engagement the first battle was actually in Gold Town against the Aaron's Army after they
made landfall at what became King's Landing in the Blackwater Rush that's why it was called
King's Landing because it's where aegon landed his army the curse of harrenhal that they referenced
during season one actually started right after aegon burned the castle with blur in the black
dread that's the reason why it looks so melty because he burned it with valerian's dragon fire
previously it was the biggest castle in the history of Westeros by far it took Harrenhal
over 40 years to build in the day the day that he finished it was the same day that aegon burned it
how's that for bad luck that's why the Specter of bad luck always follows harrenhal throughout
the years really good example of the curse of Herron Hall in present day during the main Game
of Thrones series is during season two Jack and Hagar goes around killing a whole bunch
of people mysteriously even though it was Arya that was naming people for him the latest one we
saw in the show was Harwin strong and his father burning in harrenhal so Daemon burning harrenhal
with vermouth or the other dragons would be like the burning of harrenhal 3.0 and you remember now
Lord foot Kink larous strong now holds the castle now the curse of harrenhal falls on him so expect
something really crazy really bad to happen to him eventually eventually him getting his comeuppance
but number five Lara strong will probably be the new little finger of the show that kind
of positioned him that way during season one too and as such he will probably have a similar Arc to
Littlefinger like he'll survive till much later in the run of the show so even though you have
this giant curse of Harrenhal they're strong like Littlefinger will probably survive through all the
major battles the next few seasons till near the end continuing Littlefinger style to influence
events and do increasingly messed up stuff if you thought the feet stuff was weird during
season one you have no idea some of the messed up stuff he's going to get up to the next few
seasons But ultimately that's just going to make the payoff of his death that much more satisfying
when it does eventually happen much later but much more satisfying I think than the way that
they paid off littlefinger's death during Game of Thrones number six the other major WTF moment
where the blacks retaliate against the greens in and around House of the Dragon season 2 episode 1
will probably be blood and cheese remember giving the greens the answer on the morrow one part of
that is the traditional declaration of war with the burning of harrenhal 3.0 the second major one
will probably be Daemon's own personal retaliation using viseria to hire blood and cheese to kill a
child for a child an eye for an eye as payment for luceris's death is aemond said to lucerus a
dead is owed but this time it'll be Daemon going at the greens revenge killing one of the Green's
children in retaliation so remember a big part of the dance of the Dragons is going to be rhaenyra
and alicent trying to avoid atrocities like this as much fighting as possible and everyone around
them on both sides doing the exact opposite trying to burn the realm to the ground the funny thing
the showrunners have said about Daemon though is that like oh you know he doesn't want to burn the
entire realm he just wants to burn all the greens and put all their heads on pie likes and in doing
that a bunch of the realm will burn the whole idea is that neither alicent nor rhaenyra can
totally control what each of the people on their sides can do even though it seems like they have
a lot of authority they're meant to be like the most powerless people within their camps like
Daemon will do whatever Daemon wants to do Otto Hightower and aemond are gonna both do whatever
they want to do as well as aegon II who is now King and probably isn't going to spend a whole
lot of time listening to what his mother says like the second coming of Joffrey even though
technically he comes before him in the timeline remember Cersei could not control Joffrey it'll
probably be a similar situation with aegon II and alicent this is one of the big ideas with
alicent and rhaenyra throughout the entire Dance of the Dragons they want it to feel like no matter
how much alicent wins no matter how much ranera wins both of them always wind up losing ultimately
like during season one it seems like alicent wins everything that she wants except she ultimately
loses because Lord feet now has all this power over her you have demon choking at rhaenyra even
though she's just put on jahiris's Crown she's just become the black queen you think she'd be
the most powerful person in the room but no that's actually Daemon I don't want to get into too many
spoilers for the blood and cheese stuff but if you've read the books you know kind of what's
going on eye for an eye child for a child one of the greens will die tragically probably in episode
one maybe episode two we'll see number seven we'll see the rest of the dragons that Daemon mentioned
in episode 10 starting with Vermithor who they already teased Daemon isn't going to change his
dragon from caraxes to vermithor war or anything like that he was just summoning vermathor in the
song he was singing to it was a Valyrian lullaby he was trying to coax Vermithor out when they
zoom the camera in on their eyeballs on the reflections you could see his hand reaching
out to touch his snout Vermithor will probably be ridden by one of the other dragons he's probably
Hugh Hammer who's a Targaryen bastard born on Dragonstone he's a normal soldier working in
their army currently the reason you didn't see him in season one is because they only Elevate
him to a more important position of dragon rider was the actual dance begins and they need all the
dragon seeds all the dragon Riders they can find for all the riderless dragons Vermihor breathing
all that flame to like extended flame breathing sequence probably also foreshadowing for Daemon
taking him to harrenhal with caraxes to burn the castle because Vermithor's the biggest
dragon in Westeros next to vegar right now so he's a huge asset metaphorically and literally
for them Vermithor is a male dragon who used to be ridden by King jaehaerys until his death he's just
been rightless on Dragonstone ever since then number eight the other dragons are Vermithor's
mate Silverwing she was the dragon written by King jaehaerys' wife alysanne who's also been
riderless on Dragonstone since alysanne died they lost arrax when vhagar killed lucerys so they're
down one Dragon right now but will also probably see taraxi's baby Joffrey's newest dragon that
they reference but remember baby Joffrey still very small even though he's not technically a
baby anymore teraxis would be even smaller than air ax and arax was like the smallest dragon
that we've seen so far so I don't think Joffrey is going to be doing a whole bunch of fighting during
season two we'll see baela's Dragon Moondancer and will probably see at least some if not all
of the wild dragons there are three of them it's sheepstealer she's eventually written by Nettles
then there's Cannibal and gray ghost there are a couple dragons that we saw during season one
already that will come back during season two like seasmoke is a good example laenor velaryon's
dragon lots of theories about lanor secretly coming back pretending to be a velaryon bastard
just under a different identity like no no I'm not laenor I'm a totally different person maybe
that'll happen towards the end of the dance the dragons there are other dragons that Daemon didn't
mention that he and rhaenyra's children aegon and viserys eventually ride but they're still very
very small babies right now so they probably won't claim dragons for a long time maybe we'll see them
in the final season if they cover the later events of the show in the aftermath of the actual Dance
of the Dragons number nine sort of connected to that idea the other major Revelation that the
showrunner and George RR Martin revealed if you didn't realize it before that there won't be any
more major time jumps on the show during the dance of the dragons for the most part the rest of the
dance of dragons however many more episodes that runs will be the current actors that you see now
right now all the major children like jacaerys on the way up to aegon II who's technically like the
oldest of that generation are meant to be between the ages of like 17 and their early 20s by the
end of the dance of the Dragons they'll only be like a couple years older in number 10 the
big WTF Cliffhanger at the end of season 2 will probably be either the reveal of all the dragon
Seas like in season 2 episode 10 Daemon will roll out all the dragon Seas riding all their dragons
preparing for like the next major conflict like let's prepare to burn them all or small chance
they'll end season 2 episode 10 with rhaenyra sacking King's Landing in a big parallel to
Daenerys sacking King's Landing at the end of the main Game of Thrones series like season 2 episode
10 will literally end with a very similar moment to the end of Game of Thrones season 8 episode
6 except this time this time rhaenyra will enter the iron throne room and actually sit on the iron
throne and they'll cut to the credits it's not like somebody's gonna bum rush her from behind and
stick her in the back before she sits on the Iron Throne she'll sit on it they'll cut to credits and
then we'll pick up in season 3 episode 1 with the greens retaliation for them sacking King's Landing
because the whole idea is the end of season one is meant to be the greens basically stealing the
Iron Throne from rhaenyra wouldn't be a big payoff at the end of season two if Rainer steals it back
from them and they really really want you to see the parallels between Rainier and Daenerys like
they look the same already they have the same hair braids they even use daenerys's music when she was
flying in on Cyrax at the beginning of season one both of them are Rebels and they both quoted
the phrase that they would upend the old ways and start their new order saying I will create a new
order here's the other side of that coin though both rhaenyra and Daenerys said neither one wanted
to be Queen of the ashes when dragons go to war everything burns but look at what happened with
Daenerys so much collateral damage the maesters the small folk all thought her a tyrant after the
fact the mazers even recorded that Daenerys went mad like her father the Mad King during House of
the Dragon much earlier in the timeline the realm had just experienced makeover the cruel's Reign
before King jaehaerys in fact they reference makeover the cruel at the beginning of episode
1 so that will be the metaphor that rhaenyra wants to avoid like everyone the small folk thinking her
the next coming of maegor the cruel so the big question is whether or not the realm is going
to remember renura fondly or think of her as the next Maegor the cruel because it seems like she
wants to burn them all now I know there's a lot of other questions about characters like amid
what is he going to do next when he comes back to King's Landing is he gonna tell alicent oh I just
wound up killing my nephew on accident I think I started the actual Targaryen Civil War the dance
of the Dragons oops my bad I do have a bunch of separate bonus videos planned for other big
characters so I'll talk more about aemond during that video and the other characters during those
so if you have any big questions or things I didn't address in this video just write them
below in the comments and I'll try to add them to those bonus videos everyone click here for my
full House of the Dragon episode 10 finale video and click here for all my other house the dragon
