Corlys Velaryon looking like he just got done singing in DJ Khaled’s Where You Come From
Eww.
Ohhh I was waiting for this 😂 one would think there was nothing that could make someone even less attractive…WELL pfffhhhhhaAhah
Hopefully, it has a better ending than Game of Thrones.
Thanks for the mermaid call back.
nope
Corlys velaryon looks badass!
If you think he’s the wrong actor to cast, think again:
1) Dragon riders were known to have pale skin, House velaryon were NOT dragon riders
2) Corlys’s mother is unknown
3) Valyria was a multi-cultured nation, specifically it says that valyrians have silver/gold hair and lilac eyes, no mention of skin color.
4) future Targaryen kings are not descendants of Corlys Velaryon
5) House Velaryon were known to sail from port to port, u can’t tell me they didn’t sleep with people of different races
Do not hate. Grow up. Don’t be ignorant
I'm all for diversity in casting and have nothing against Steve Toussaint as an actor, I'm sure he's great. It's just Valyrians are some of the palest individuals in the World of Ice and Fire, this is established multiple times in the series. That's just a fact of the series.
Honestly, I don't know if I'm ready…
A burn like that never fully heals. My heart cant take another disappointment.
I kinda wish they'd just do something entirely new, so there's no source material to compare it to… but I also think they'd fuck that up.
Idk.. maybe if D&D are FAR FAR away from this project, I'll consider it.. but whatever.. HBO already had my money, so I doubt they give a shit if I actually watch it.
0:30 Why, Dan? Why?
Aside from that, I am interested in the new series. I just hope its quality is more like the early seasons of GoT rather than PTSD flashbacks Season 8.
Yeah looks great…until you remember what's gonna happen in a hundred years or so
I dont know… GoT ended on such a sour note… I'm not sure these people deserve another chance…
[enter witty comment about how it looks great but Season 8… here]
I'm so not gonna watch it!
Its just nails on a chalkboard when you cant pronounce the names.😱😔🤦🏻♀️
We must let the producers redeem themselves
Still burned from season 8
who play the role as Aegon the conqueror ?
Ugh I was really hoping that the show was gonna be based off the talltale game GOT storyline but it's fine!!! I'm still down with this.
Corlys looks amazing! He looks like an absolute badass!
Meh.
What about Aegon II? And his brothers?
I love Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower! In Vanity Fair she was a schemer, so it'll be cool to see her playing Alicent. I also like how they cast a black actor for Corlys Velaryon and how there's going to be focus on other characters who are poc, like Mysaria.
It's probably going to take me the entire season to stop wondering when the TARDIS will appear.
Not loving Rhaenyra's outfit. Alicent, on the other hand, looks like Anne Boleyn wearing snake skin and I looooove it.
Matt Smith is in it? Already a failure. Guys a one trick pony with no dynamic energy. He is the same character in everything. This is going to be horrible, especially because it's clear he's a Targaryan. It looks like he's playing the son of the chick who tries to take the throne in the books. He gets burned alive by a dragon. If so that will be the only good thing Matt Smith does in this show.
Thanks I haven't seen any talk about this since the Covid thing started. It is worth giving it a go. (If the two jerks who took the money and ran with season 8 are gone. And I know they are.) I like Martin's stories. So due them I will watch.
Chur to the brutha dan big thumbs up from us kiwis
Seaosn 8 already gave game of thrones a bad name, do ya'll really wanna ruin it even more?
Can people please stop bitching about the last GoT season! Yes it was shit,but this is a new show.
And most importantly: D&D are NOT part of this AND they are adapting a finished book, so just stfu and wait before you judge.
Edit: And almost as important: Ramin Djawadi is doing the music again!!!!!
Season 8 was fantastic. Fuck ya'll
How is a black guy have a valyrian bloodline, don't the valyrian do incest to keep the blood pure? This I just nonsense.
All im seeing here is a bunch of characters i dont know/ care about. Maybe this show will be great but I have serious doubts.
How exactly the mother of Margaery and Loras, Alerie Hightower, is related to Otto and Alicent ?
Am I the only one over GoT? Bring on the Conan the Barbarian series. Give Steven DeKnight an Elric or Karl Edward Wagner's Kane series to do. I am so not excited about more Game of Thrones.
Season 8 was too short
Note: Rhys is pronounced "Reese" not "ris"
They could make a great show based on just the Blackfyre rebelllions
