The dream it was clearer than a memory and i heard the sound of her thundering hooves
splintering shields and ringing swords
and i placed my hair up on the iron throne
and all the dragons roared as one
i consider the matter urgent that of your succession
the iron throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm and our line is vulnerable too easily ended
well who else would have a claim the firstborn child renera no queen has ever sat the iron front
the king has an heir damon targaryen i will not be made to choose between my brother and my daughter
raniere's succession will be challenged knives will come out
you are the king your first duty is to pick a new wife
i have decided to name a new heir i'm your hair
is a foot do you think the realm will ever accept me as that queen the lords of the
realm bent the knee a woman would not inherit the iron throne because that is the order of things
when i'm queen i will create a new order
your family has dragons
there are power men should never have trifled with
targaryens are closer to gods than to men
if rhaenyra comes into power she can cut off any challenge to her succession
i am to inherit the iron throne she will block my way
our hearts remain as one our hearts will never won
have you never imagined yourself on the iron throne
where is duty where is sacrifice
Welcome back everyone this will be my new house of the dragon trailer video for the
extended trailer that they've released at the comic con panel it was private before but now
they finally released it online they've included a bunch of extra scenes a bunch of extra context so
we'll break it all down if you're brand new to the channel i will be doing videos for all the
episodes just like i did for the game of thrones main series be sure to subscribe to get everything
i'm also going to the premiere this week and they're going to be screening the first episode
so i'll post a non-spoilery video the day after that happens it sounds like they're going with
a lot of the same vibe as the early seasons of game of thrones particularly season 1 and season 2
where you have a lot of character drama with like a couple really big wtf battles the big wtf battle
it seems like they're showing most of the footage from i think is the battle of the stepstones which
was against the triarchy this big force from essos one of the big trailer scenes that you see later
where damon targaryen is wearing a crown in his head is basically him crowning himself king of the
stepstones after that battle like he comes back thinking himself a king trying to present himself
like a conqueror but obviously graeme mctavish is harold westerling here who's lord commander of the
kingsguard during this period wants nothing to do with it because he literally pulls his sword on
him as he approaches his brother viserys the first on the throne the opening scene of this extended
trailer is a stark contrast to that because it takes place in the past because the young version
of vernier coming to see a younger version of damon who's sitting on the iron throne we saw a
version of this scene earlier but you get a little extra context here because harold westerling
earlier in the timeline opens the door for her and it seems like it's supposed to be some kind
of secret meeting where he gives her that pendant you see her wearing around her neck later in the
timeline when she's much older clearly if he doesn't have a problem with damon targaryen
sitting on the iron throne earlier in the timeline something has changed that makes him hate him a
little bit more later in the timeline this is just meant to show some of the power dynamics between
the characters like obviously he sees himself as his brother's successor to the iron throne
and she hasn't really thought too much about it yet but then eventually she's named the successor
so he's trying to find another path to the iron throne and eventually they do get remarried later
in the timeline when they're much older that's what this scene is here where you see their
hands bleeding and claps together you also see her taking her dress off here with them getting
ready to get it on when king viserys is talking to the younger version of his daughter renee about
this dream that he had about all the dragons roaring obviously it's meant to be a metaphor
about the coming targaryen civil war with all the different targaryens yelling at each other all of
their different dragons that they ride yelling at each other there'll be 17 dragons during the show
there's some extra scenes that clearly show that it's her riding through the woods and riding with
her is a younger version of kristin cole you see the firelight scenes of her talking to kristen
cole it's from that same part of the episode she's talking to him wondering if the people of westeros
the other lords will ever accept her as their leader obviously foreshadowing the coming dance
of the dragons but also what's going on here is that as a young girl she actually had a big crush
on him but he didn't reciprocate her feelings and leaves the thing's getting kind of messy like it's
kind of a jamie brienne situation the other really notable thing about the dragons that i didn't talk
about in the previous trailer is there was some footage of a mystery dragon's foot that was way
bigger than the other dragons that was probably vhagar he's meant to be like the biggest dragon
that's alive during this period of the timeline after the death of valerian the black dread what's
happening here later in the timeline is you have a young version of eamonn one eye targaryen he's
the person that has the eye patch later in the timeline he's trying to restore his honor by
becoming vhagar's next writer because he is the biggest dragon so when he's successful everyone
thinks it's a really big deal the very simple reason why he's bigger than a lot of the other
dragons on the show is just because he's older and dragons just continue to grow and grow and grow
that was why bullying the black dread got so big by his school's so big because he's about
200 years old when he died so the whole idea is that some of the dragons that you meet on the
show were actually hatched by people way earlier in the timeline really good example is the vhagar
dragon his first writer who hatched him was aegon the conqueror's sister visenya then he was written
by balon targaryen who was the father of viserys the first the current king in damon targaryen
his brother but the really interesting thing is that after his father balon dies and viserys the
first is voted by the realm to become the next king he does not take vegar he doesn't become
a dragon rider either like he doesn't write any dragons during this period of the timeline
this is also the inside of the dragon pit that was created after vegar was born so like one of the
ideas is the minute that they create the dragon pit and start raising dragons and they're all
enclosed they start to grow smaller and smaller and smaller and it starts to weaken targaryen
power and it's sort of like this ill omen for their family and i know there's a big question
about who that dragon is at the end of the trailers it's the same dragon in both of the
versions of the trailer it could be a version of rhaenyra's dragon syrax or it could be a version
of vhagar it's just kind of hard to tell because you don't see the entire dragon's head here
sometime soon i'll do a bonus video about all 17 dragons on the show who they are who their writers
are and who hatch them there's another brand new scene of younger rhaenyra approaching her father
while he's praying to the skull of blaring the black dread and he talked to her about how the
iron phone is the dangerous place on earth he's not wrong about that not only does everybody want
the iron throne so everybody kind of wants your blood but also the iron throne itself is made from
thousands of swords and will literally cut you if you don't sit on it the right way that's why when
he's telling the story and he puts his hand on the iron throne you see it bleeding although in
the grand scheme of things when people think about viserys the first targaryen people usually think
about him as being kind of a weak king because of the way he waited so long to name a successor
to the iron throne in the way that he did it there are a couple scenes of younger allison
and younger rhaenyra praying together to the maiden that's who this figure is zoom in enhance
you see in this scene she's wearing the necklace that damon gave to her earlier like i said that
she's wearing it later in the timeline when she's much older like it stays with her this whole time
this is also just meant to tease that they were friends when she was at court they were younger
before she got remarried to her father then a lot of people think that this person that wears
the mask with the burnt face is actually a version of crab feeder his real name is kragus drachar he
appeared in the earlier trailers the reason why people called him crab feeder is because one of
his go-to moves during big battles was to chain prisoners up in low tide so that the water would
eventually come in and slowly drown them like that's a pretty brutal way to take someone out
so that when the tide came in and drowned them they would become crab food he was the crab
feeder very literally the reason why he'd be wearing the mask while his face is disfigured
is probably because it got burnt by dragonfire earlier in the timeline there's a new scene of
what seems like damon targaryen's hand putting the cat's paws valerian dagger in fire to heat it up
what they explained is they actually upgraded the prop so the person who wrote the original article
on it got a little bit confused it is meant to be the same cat's paws dagger that littlefinger used
to start the war of the five kings and that arya later used to kill the night king but what they've
done for the house of the dragon show is make it a little bit more accurate to real-life daggers of
that period so the hilt is just like a little bit shorter and it's a little bit more detailed like
it holds up in 4k just a little bit better later in the trailer you see an older version of alison
try to pull it on older rhaenyra but you actually also get some context for how she gets the
valerian dagger she literally steals it off of her husband the king viserys targaryen like she grabs
it off of his belt then pushes him to the ground and then jumps at raniera with the dagger we all
kind of wondered where she got it from this just confirms the dagger belonged to viserys before we
saw it on the main show it doesn't confirm who first owned the dagger it just confirms that
at some point he owned the dagger even though house of the dragon is meant to take place 200
years ago during the height of targaryen power when they were like the most that the targaryens
would ever become in westeros when they had the most dragons the most political power the most
military power the most metaphorical power even during that period valyrian steel was incredibly
rare and incredibly valuable so it wasn't just like every single person and their sister was
running around with a valyrian blade but there are some really cool ones that we see during the
trailer like obviously damon targaryen wielding dark sister during a couple different scenes
and even though they really want you to focus on the cat's paws valerian dagger because it was such
a big deal during the main show the even bigger deal i think is them showing viserys targaryen
wielding a version of blackfire that was aegon the conqueror's valerian blade and it was lost later
in the timeline during the blackfire rebellions speaking of blackfyre rebellions later in the
timeline they also confirmed what their grand plan is at hbo for doing other game of thrones series
set during different parts of the timeline so this is a really big deal they said that even though
house of the dragon is only planned for like three or four seasons what they'll do is they'll
do other parts of the timeline and they'll still call them house of the dragon and treat it like an
anthology show so like when we get to house of the dragon season 5 for instance it'll be a different
part of the timeline different group of actors and it'll be like the blackfyre rebellions or
they'll go earlier in the timeline and do aegon's conquest but it'll still be viewed as like house
of the dragon season 5 for instance if we get any more details about those other spin-off shows of
course i'll do videos about it if you spotted any other easter eggs in the brand new footage in this
version of the trailer that i didn't talk about in either of my videos just write it below in the
comments and i will post my non-spoilery review of episode one as soon as they let us this week

going to be crazy in the best possible way i've got a bunch of other comic-con trailer videos that
i'm working on make sure you enable alerts for my channel so you don't miss any of those everyone
