Welcome back everyone it's charlie this will be my full house of the dragon episode 4 trailer video
there's a whole bunch of game of thrones easter eggs obviously some of them a little bit more
obvious than others opening the trailer with the prophecy of the prince who was promised talking
about jon snow we had all the daenerys easter eggs during episode 1 earlier in the series
so it's only natural that they would also start referencing jon snow if we're going to be doing
a lot of easter eggs for what happens later in the timeline if you're new to the channel i am
doing videos for all the episodes just like i did for game of thrones be sure to subscribe to
get them all we're also doing a giveaway for hbo max subscriptions too all you have to do to enter
is be a subscriber and post all your theories based on the trailer footage down in the comments
careful for spoilers for everything that's happened on the show so far but like i said
they begin the trailer with rhaenyra reading the prophecy of the prince who has promised aegon's
prophecy of a song of ice and fire or he calls it a song of ice and fire but it's a prophecy about
the long night the coming of the white walkers that they think could happen at any moment like
each new targaryen king when he learns about the prophecy and takes the iron throne thinks
that it's right around the corner so like this whole time viserys has been king not that long
in the grand scheme of things he's been low-grade paranoid about the white walkers attacking at any
moment in addition to all the regular problems he's been dealing with the last 10 years or so
i've already done a video about who knew the prophecy at which times during the timeline like
at what point did the prophecy get lost when did it not get passed on like what happened with the
mad king and rhaegar because rhaegar eventually learned the prophecy but the way that george r
martin talks about the prophecy in the way that rhaegar learned about it it sounds like
right before the events of robert's rebellion the prophecy had been lost so when rhaegar was
learning about the prophecy he actually learned about it because he was so fond of going through
the citadel's secret archives that were only accessible to really highborn people like the
crown prince like rhaegar as the crown prince was basically one of the most powerful people in the
realm so if he told the archmages of the citadel let me into this locked room with all these secret
scrolls they would have to do it they made a big deal about that when samwell joined the citadel
to become a maester no no you're not allowed to go in there the other cool detail they reveal in this
trailer is that she's reading the prophecy which has been carved or been etched into the valyrian
steel blade of the knife itself i did videos about the actual cat's paws valyrian dagger like
way back during the game of thrones main series episodes but the steel of the blade is obviously
valyrian steel the hilt is made of dragon bone and the giant red jewel is just a huge ruby they
explained during episode one even though a little over 100 years has gone by since aegon's conquest
valyrian steel at this point is incredibly rare so all valyrian steel of any kind is very valuable
but at this time in history are more known valerian steel blades belonging to people
some of them get lost over the years up to the events of the game of thrones series
and the whole reason why arya littlefinger joffrey robert baratheon anyone after rhaegar targaryen
who would have owned the knife assuming that it probably belonged to rhaegar and the mad king
at some point and then after they sacked the red keep during robert's rebellion all the targaryens
possessions were basically either sold off or given to robert baratheon and that's how the
knife passed into littlefinger's possession in robert baratheon's possession eventually
but the reason why all of those people wouldn't have known about the prophecy of the long night
that was baked into the blade is because they didn't think to heat the blade up
as the stairs are showing right near in the trailer you have to heat the blade to intense
temperatures and then the prophecy will reveal itself in the middle it's one of those cool
lore additions that george r martin helps them make without breaking the timeline like oh this
is why nobody knew about it because they didn't heat the blade up the whole idea that the prince
who was promised is mostly meant to be a reference to jon snow but a lot of people like kinvara the
red temple obviously believe it's daenerys as well the whole idea of the prophecy is that
aegon had a dragon dream that someone of his blood he didn't know who someone of his blood
would stop the long night in both daenerys and jon snow are of his blood because of all the
sister wiving in the targaryen family one of the other funny details you may have recognized in the
voiceovers during the trailer is that viserys also literally says the name of the show in the show
again ah he said the thing everybody pointing at the screen doing the meme the funny thing is that
during episode 1 rhaenyra or the older version of rhaenyra played by the different actress said
the exact same phrase out loud the only thing that could tear down the house of the dragon
was itself the house of the dragon will stand as one for a further generation we'll have to
start a counter eventually to see how many times in the episodes somebody actually says the name
of the show itself there's an overhead shot of a bunch of women walking through the hallway it's
the same women that helped take care of the royal children i don't know if that has something to do
with the birth of alicent's second child because i believe a year is supposed to have gone by like
the time jump is only about a year so it's enough time for alicen'ts second child to be born it's a
little girl named helaena targaryen rhaenyra can breathe a little bit easier because there's only
one male heir that she has to contend with right now this is just the beginning though there'll be
more time jumps in a whole bunch of children on both sides of the aisle the blacks and the greens
we see prince daemon come back to court having been crowned king of the stepstones after the
successful campaign in the title of the episode is actually king of the narrow sea technically that's
the term coles valerian and his men crown daemon king of the narrow sea because the stepstones
isn't part of westeros otherwise there'd be a much bigger problem here when he comes back to court
but the whole idea is that he left kind of in exile made a name for himself finally successfully
defeated crab feeder in his army the triarchy so he's trying to roll in like a boss like ah they
crown me king of the narrow sea he's even wearing a crown that looks like it was made of bones you
also notice he's carrying crab feeders warhammer that he used vasara seems a little bit surprised
the rest of court seems like they don't know what to do about it and i think the way they cut the
trailer they just want to play on some of the mystery as to what daemon's motives are what his
goals are after this because obviously he still wants the iron throne but because it's rhaenyra
versus aegon ii at the moment that's where all the attention is a lot of people are viewing daemon is
more of a wild card especially allison hightower who's telling viserys in otto hightower her father
that she doesn't trust him it does seem like her friendship with rhaenyra is slowly on the men
but they still have that voiceover during the trailer where you hear one of the lords yelling
at other lords arguing over the succession itself like the lords themselves are still
up in the air as to who is going to eventually sit on the iron throne will it be the princess
rhaenyra or the young princeling aegon ii you hear rainier arguing with her father more about
actually getting married remember it's been a year time jump since the last episode so he's probably
getting really tired of the weight like okay finally you have to pick someone get married now
when she's sitting here she's listening to more of her suitors come in and try to plead their case
with her like please marry me and it's this young boy here that's the joke like all the lords of the
realm are basically trotting out all their sons please marry my son the baratheon that's sitting
with her while she's listening to all these marriage proposals is boremund baratheon he's
the current lord of house baratheon that swore the oath of fealty to her during episode 1. then
you have this scene with otto hightower talking to viserys targaryen about this vile rumor about
rhaenyra targaryen like later if she's talking to someone else saying how dare you accuse me of this
and i think the whole idea here is that they don't trust daemon and they basically think that daemon
deflowered or did something sexual with rhaenyra because you see her sneaking out of the red keep
through the monument to blaring the black dread wearing the clothes of the commoner running
through the streets of flea bottom in the city then a couple people in a dark alley getting it on
in what seems like a couple other people spying on them so this is a bit of a call back to that
scene in episode 1 where otto hightower did the same thing to daemon targaryen basically throwing
him under the bus where the king eventually chose raniere as the successor because he was choosing
the option that was not his brother like well it can't be my brother so rainier is the best option
so when viserys is getting pissed off about all this spicy gossip i think that's what it's about
about rhaenyra being deflowered potentially when you see rhaenyra sailing on the targaryen
ship with kristen cole and you see daemon and his dragon caraxies fly by them this might be
later in the episode and she might be exiled to dragon son or she might just be taking off to live
on dragonstone because technically as she said during previous episodes dragonstone belongs to
her because she is the heir typically when someone is named the heir to the iron throne they're named
either prince or princess of dragonstone like that's a title they get and they gain possession
of dragonstone so if she wanted to she could go live at dragonstone anytime she wants to but to
make a joke that's sort of like the targaryen way of quitting twitter like you basically leave
court you leave the center of all politics so you don't really find out about what's actually
happening day to day unless somebody sends you ravens with more information so what might be
happening is that because of all the drama and the spicy gossip here she just might be piecing out
which i think was also foreshadowed during last week's episode with that dragon's eye
song because it was kind of a lament about how this woman got her heart broken and left on a ship
even though he doesn't really show up during any of this trailer footage you have the whole idea
too that laner valerian seemed like the best option for her like lionel strong and allison
hightower both separately suggested marrying laner velaryon the only problem with rhaenyra marrying
laner is that he's actually gay so it's kind of like a loveless marriage but potentially it's a
way to solve a lot of her problems so if you start getting some scenes with her and laner it might
happen during next week's episode maybe episode 5. you have to remember there's a couple big
time jumps in the next couple of episodes so like stuff happens really quickly if you spotted any
other big easter eggs in the new trailer footage that i didn't talk about in the video just write
them below in the comments and what i'll do is i have a couple big bonus videos planned this week
