House of the Dragon 1x1
🕑 Added 2024-01-19 01:09:53 +0000 UTCNEW SERIES ALERT🚨
A fun new series as Jack and Mckay are huge GoT fans and have never seen this before, and there is a GoT hater in our midst... a short 12 episode season but S2 is coming out soon so we thought this would be a great mini series and episode 1 COOKED
FOR ANYONE THAT HASN'T SEEN IT BEFORE AND WATCHING FOR FIRST TIME: Just fyi this show is EXTREMELY graphic in pretty much every way. You can join me in covering my eyes if you can't handle it lol.

Had to come back to this after they finished GOT… but just hearing Daenerys’ Breaker of Chains theme as Viserys is telling Rhaenyra about the prophecy. CHILLS
Cookie
Alright a im a bit late but I’ll be starting my own HOD/GOT journey with you guys 🔥 so excited to see what happens next 💯
Jenny D
I'm sure you guys figured it out by now, but Rhanerya was born already. She was pregnant with a child she miscarried
Daenerys Targaryen
Oh man, I miss this period of Studio Gek "A Song of Ice and Fire" universe reaction 🥲
parALICEis
the voyeur windows were also a real thing. people used to watch the first night after a royal / nobel wedding to assure the newly wed couple do the last step of a wedding. the husband taking the Wives V card. they also had public viewing when the queen gave birth to make sure the babys gender.
parALICEis
landlords actually used to cut of a farmers hand if they were unable to pay their tribute.
It was a chill watch ngl. Season 2 was alright but season 1 had me binging
Shadow
Yo how much u been liking it?
Starting this. I never watched this but ill watch it with you guys
jennifer oxley
As they drug the mother they drug the baby.
jennifer oxley
Not only does the baby need to come out head 1st it has to be facing the right direction. My son who was 10lbs 4 oz and 27 inches long was facing the wrong direction when they did an emergency C section after 32 hrs of labor. I will never understand how after 32 hours none of the nurses noticed that they were not feeling the correct side of his face. Apparently the curve of the nose and the nape of the neck help push a baby through the birth canal. ~"THE MORE YOU KNOW"

come on carter is it really a reaction if you turn your head or close your eyes lol.

Back to rewatch the reactions from the beginning 😈

Y’all say anything these days 💀

I don’t care what anyone says Game Of Thrones was the best show of our generation hands down and no I don’t care that the last season did not cook as it should have. Everything else made up for it. The music, the cinematography, the acting, the lore and events… A MASTERPIECE. Please watch GOT it will not disappoint.
Mitch
The thing is, they had plenty of material to fill during season 5-6 yet they chose to cut about 50% of the content from the books. The Dorne plot, tyrions plot, Danys plot and Bolton/Stannis plots were 10x more complex and thorough in the books. D&D had more than enough content to make s5-6 a cohesive narrative so you have to put blame on them.
arcv
The showrunners had GRRM's writing to build off of, and GRRM is a brilliant writer. Once they reached where the books currently are, they had to work with vague outlines, and they clearly failed to meet the same standard as GRRM's writing. I would say up until S 7 it wasn't the showrunners fault, I think GRRM shouldn't have neglected the story and should've finished it or released a few more books. But season 8 was 100% the showrunners rushing the ending so they could quickly move on to making the Star Wars film they were hired for. Ironically, their complete disregard for a story they and countless others put a decade of blood, sweat, and tears into was proof enough that they weren't the right people to handle a franchise like Star Wars.
Elaine
Episode 1 is epic! Still can’t watch the gore scene just like in GoT

omg i actually love these reactions so much i’m already rewatching 😭

Neeeedd GOT reaction
1999
LMAO at you guys thinking they would cast her as a 9 year old Bruh Cannon killed me “she’s the oldest 9 year old I’ve ever seen” 😂😂😂😂
Ana
I believe Rhaenerya was already born when they named viserys the heir to the king. She was just pregnant with one of the babies she lost
Ana
Idk if anyone said but Daemon is the one who started the gold cloaks
Ana
Just react to GoT you won't be disappointed 🖤😩
Ana
Jack and McKay is elite for the GoT love. So excited for this journey 🖤 ❤️ HotD is an amazing show
Thealbksナルト
Hotd is a banger
Wulfheart
Definitely takes away from the big reveals though... There's some major things that happen in this story.
NMP
white hair and incestual she’s basically a targaryen trapped in the wrong universe
NMP
i read the books after season 8 and i couldnt believe how incredible book 3 was. for people who have seen the show, it was basically season 3 and 4 at the same time. i was reading oberyn and the red wedding back to back and it was insane
NMP
i mean who knows how long it will take for this show to finish. they would be delaying GOT for years and years for no real reason. its a prequel, its inherently written to still be good and enjoyable despite knowing what comes after.
NMP
2010s GOT at its peak was legit a pop culture phenomenon. its such a dense and complex story but became one of the biggest and most mainstream shows ever, thats how good it is/was. unfortunately ive lost all faith that the story will ever see the conclusion it deserves. george is getting old af. i remember reading the books after season 8 thinking we might finally get the next one maybe seen and that was already five years ago and we’re no closer to it.
sushi
it’s my opinion GOT was way too slow especially seasons 1-4 it didn’t start getting good until after that
sushi
yeah and that one season is better than S1 of GOT 😭
NMP
funnily enough that situation is the same thing that happened to the original fullmetal alchemist anime. i would say we need game of thrones: brotherhood but george is never gonna finish the books
NMP
perfect description lol
NMP
better than the last couple seasons? yea, easily. 1-4 of GOT? no way
NMP
lmao thank you canon ive been calling haaland daemon targaryen for a while now and its always funny to me
Colin Boehling
this isnt half as good as game of thrones..
Colin Boehling
dude.... jsut watch game of thrones????? wtf are we watchin this for?
CHIEF
Going back to season 1-3 amazes me how intelligent and foreshadowing all the writing is. It's just the way people interact, the subtlety and subtext in every interaction, everyone could learn something from it.
Saku Lucas
Game of Thrones is CRAZYY!! The books tho. the show is good. but the books are actually my favorite fiction story and fictional world EVER. if you guys like good stories and like reading books. A Song of Ice and Fire is The best. Love the vids!
Anna
Cannon and Jack y’all were saying the kingsguard at the beginning looked/sounded familiar, you may be recognizing him from the hobbit!! He also does the voice of Dracula in Castlevania. Goated actor tbh
LeFlaneur
Regular drops? What’s the schedule?
Poragami
and it's nowhere as brutal as GoT man
Poragami
that's just false
Poragami
100,10%
Philbo
i believe they said if they enjoy this and if it also does well on there channel. then they would possibly watch GoT as well.
ssj4rit
Yeah I don’t get hyped for live action reactions anywhere, but for some reason this show + Geks is such a good combination lol
Kite
this is one of the best videos y'all have dropped lmao, this is going to be a fun watch 😈
Kite
there's only one season out
Socorro Viernes
And yes just to answer your question the Targaryen's practice incest it's a whole thing
sushi
controversial but HOTD is better than GOT
Sweede TW
Hell yeah here we go this show cooked hard
Wulfheart
I don't think you can find it streaming anywhere anymore. They took it off HBO right?
Mitch
As someone who has seen pretty much every critically acclaimed show I still have GOT as my number 1 all time. Seasons 1-4 of GOT are the greatest media to ever be put on television while 7-8 are some of the worst content (writing wise) to ever be released. GOT simultaneously has the greatest peaks in tv and the lowest lows ever. 5-6 are pretty mixed but still have a ton of great moments. Despite all this, it’s still worth the watch to see what made it the most popular show ever. I can 100% guarantee it will be in all of ur top 5s once you’ve seen it. (Psa HOTD has been incredible and def helped to wash the taste out of the last 2 seasons of GOT out of my mouth)

I'd think ya'll might like Westworld too

S1-4: the peak of television S5-6: entertaining television S7: bad S8: dogshit
Poragami
That doesn't make any sense, why would they watch the Sequel first?
Poragami
All seasons are good except a bit of season 7 and 8 lol
Mahti
Definitely one at a time
anotherpatronmember
Omg will you guys react to Game of Thrones? Yes 🙏
Michael Corleone
I don't. Kinda goes against the inception of the channel, being "anime haters". But even moreso, I just only really watch reactions to anime.
Nonos
Fax I like how they will react to all types of media. Could be anime, cartoons, a movie or a TV show. That will bring a more diverse fanbase too. Too much of just anime fans can get a little toxic ngl 😂
Smiling viper
Blue samurai and the last kingdom both on Netflix would be 👌🔥
LuvStarburst
I like how you guys have diversity when it comes to your reactions which is why I'm here.
JJ
paying attention more and saving the big questions for the discussion is key for this type of show it’s a lot of important dialogue .
Jigga Man
GOT is really what exploded the reactor verse. Y'all are about to kill it with the numbers on GOT or HOTD.
Poragami
There are so many comments but i'm still asking, because i'm not reading allat, are we also getting a g-game of thrones reaction? Because i mean House of the dragon is kinda the prequel, no?
Mia Malvik
Cannon's pronunciation of Erling Haaland sent me
The Owl
We don’t talk about S8
Brady
What a weird comment lol. It doesn't matter whether you watch HOTD or GOT first. If GOT truly is 'one of the best shows of all time', watching a show that is set way before it first will not ruin the experience. I watched HOTD first and am enjoying GOT so far
Jengit
Everyone looking away during the childbirth scene and McKay is on the edge of his seat is my favourite part 😂
ffltscat
Carter is literally me watching gory horror scenes 😭bruh good luck 😂
Starkfern
You guys should watch a quick video explaining the world of game of thrones, like westerns and the kingdoms and the houses that rule those kingdoms. Since you guys haven't seen GOT it will be harder to understand while watching this
A
So horrific it makes me laugh out of anger 🙃 but I’ll always recommend to still watch it regardless
Wadzi
WOOT WOOT very happy you gents are getting into the GOT world. GOT is my all time favorite live action show its fucken EPIC 🔥🔥🔥 I really hope you eventually watch it after this show. You definitely wont regret it 🙂
Carrie
RIP Carter's tummy 😭

Big YES to watching GoT if you guys can - the first 5-6 seasons truly were game changers for television series in general!!
Cannon Andrus
Right?!
Carrie
Blue Eye Samurai is incredible!! I hope they see this and add it to a poll
I'm Literally Shinei Nouzen
A Game of Thrones series would be entertaining once you finish House of the Dragon. Game of Thrones is my favorite show of all time, although, like everyone else, I dislike parts of the seventh season and just about the entirety of the eighth season. Game of Thrones captivated millions from all around the globe; the show had everyone counting down the days to season releases and I don't think there will ever be another show like it. The reason it starts to go downhill is because the books are not finished and the directors of the show did not want to wait for them to be finished and chose to instead create their own (horrific) ending, but the ending does not take away from the six incredible seasons that predate it!
A
Ohhh I’m so interested to see what Jack thinks of the last season haha
GBuckets
game of thrones is alot more political and grounded compared to lotr. Unlike lotr which is pure fantasy, it focuses on politics. It's more of a medieval show than a fantasy show
A
Omg I thought you guys were out of college! Respect cause idk if I could do that
Mysterious Figure
Man... I dont want to rewatch this... because its kinda not rewatch material for me. I wish you would have watched Blue Eye Samurai - probably the best show in 2023, and probably the best NEW animated show in recent years. But, I mean, I understand, IT IS Game of Thrones... altho... my opinion is that you should have started with GOT instead of HOTD because thats how we all saw it first and how the AUTHOR intended the audience see it. Also, GOT isnt one of THE BEST shows of all time because everyone watched HOTD first, but because everyone watched GOT first... I mean that should be obvious enough. Wanting to show someone "one of the best shows of all time" isnt showing them HOTD first... it should be telling them to actually watch the GOAT show - Game of Thrones... I mean... duh? Maybe they just ruined their GOT experience by starting with HOTD first... even tho it is also a great show. It is not GOT tho. I find it ridiculous that people here are telling you not to watch GOT because it has "spoilers for HOTD"... LMAO... it's almost on the level of ppl saying the atomic bomb in the Oppenheimer movie is a spoiler... just WOW
alexis ♡︎
after this reaction, i’m actually SO hyped for the rest of the season!! i think you guys enjoy shows that make you think and offer opposing perspectives that sort of blur the lines of right/wrong and fair/unfair. i really think this season did such a good job of that. i’m so interested to see who you guys end up siding with as the show progresses 🤭

if yall end up liking this series i highly encourage yall to watch game of thrones. the moment i began watching it i found it extremely difficult to stop. now of course it’s not the same for everyone, but i think it’s amazing. the acting is incredible and the dialogue… THE DIALOGUE 🤌🤌 it’s top tier truly
Ryan Pebeck
LOTR is absolutely still goated I actually just finished rewatching the movies recently. It has its dark areas for sure but at the end of the day LOTR can be watched by a much younger audience so I think it tones down some of those aspects of violence. Whereas GOT and HOTD know they have a much more mature audience who can handle that gore and understand what it provides to the story.
Melizé
Just finished this ep. Carter, are you okay? That was gory 😭
Wiame
i don't mind watching alot of stuff , but that childbirth was something else . Idk how Carter gonna survive watching this show tbh good luck lol
Cannon Andrus
What about LOTR though
Cannon Andrus
BRO NO WARNING
Cannon Andrus
This is what I was trying to explain so thank you 😂
Hunter Snider
To clarify for Carter - Rhaenyra is 14 in episode 1. He's getting confused because Aemma is pregnant and then the next title card says 9 years into the reign of Viserys, but that isn't the same as 9 years later. The Old King, Jaehaerys, didn't die immediately after the Great Council, he still had a few years left in him. By the time Viserys takes the throne he's been the designated heir for 4-5 years.
Savannah
OMG I did not expect this. I am obsessed with this show!
Philbo
i think there was a time where they were literally teaching GoT in college lol
ssj4rit
Also Carter, I feel you 100% on being skeptical of GoT. For like 10 years I doubted the praise and just ignored everything about it. Then I watched the show and read the books, and all I can say is I'm amazed one man could have conceived this story. Honestly it's so well done that people talk about the events and characters like they actually existed in real history lol, sometimes when reading I had to remind myself all this is fake and Dorne and King's Landing and whatnot aren't real places.
DerekSniper30
McKay is a different breed bro. HAHAHAHAHAHAH
PS

Hunter Snider
Ooooh I did not expect y'all to watch this at all but it is a very welcome surprise as a massive ASOIAF nerd. Hype.
Seth Aasland
WOW this came out of left field. not that i’m complaining though
Wulfheart
Did you read the book by any chance?
Wulfheart
I want to see the events of the sucession after Aegor the Conqueror passed. I would love to see what they could do with Maegor the Cruel. The first dance of dragons. All of Fire and Blood deserves to be made into series honestly. So many cool storylines. Though I'm happy about Dunk and Egg series reveal.
Wulfheart
Maybe after they finish this show as the outcome of the events are referenced a few times in GoT. They'd be spoiled.
Brady
"She's 9" 💀💀
Wulfheart
GoT has spoilers for the end of HotD. So they should hold off on watching it now. They reference the events of this show and it's outcome as background lore but it would straight up spoil the end of this show.
ssj4rit
35:51 Best Cannon reaction face since the start of the channel
r.s.
Really glad you guys are watching this and hopefully GOT eventually. The only thing I dislike about this show is how some of the fan base acts.
Wulfheart
To everyone saying they need to watch Game of Thrones: They shouldn't watch it now. It spoils the end of this story. It seems like background lore and easily missable when watching GoT first but it's easy to pick up on if you know this story.
Ryan Pebeck
Also on the aspect of gore, I feel like like it is way more impactful on the audience than if they just implied it. The gore is a huge reason the childbirth scene is so hard to watch and it perfectly conveys that her battlefield is the bed like she said earlier. The shots keep cutting from the violence of the tourney back to the childbirth which is great symbolism.
Ryan Pebeck
It kinda amazes me the number of people that assume a show is overrated just because it is super popular. It definitely can be overrated to you but I don't know how you can have that opinion before even watching it. I had no opinion on Game of Thrones till i took the leap and started watching it.
Brady
Never seen GOT and really liked HOTD
Philbo
i actually need more lol
ssj4rit
(minor spoilers maybe?) S6 definitely has the best reveals and a cool battle, but logic wise the first 4 seasons are just way tighter and everyone is playing 4d chess. The characters start getting dumbed down starting in s5, after the show diverges from the books.
BipolarKitten
s4 and s6 the best

GoT s1-4 (ASOIAF books 1-3) was peak fantasy

Just so you guys know the the queen was gonna die regardless. it was either save the baby and not the queen or let them both die. Also , just keep in mind Women didnt get a say in ALOT of things back in those days and the king always got the last say.

WOOOO THIS WAS UNEXPECTED

Mahti
You guys have to watch Game of thrones to prove Carter wrong, he's going to love it. Best non animated series together with Breaking bad
Wulfheart
Awesome choice for new live action series reactions! I love this show. The book is amazing too if you like to read. Edit post watch: First off, mad respect for McKay pushing for them to give the Queen more agency over her own body. It's a messed up scene. Second, the book is written from different perspectives and mostly speculations. So for instance, no one actually knows if Daemon really said "Heir for a day." They portrayed this perfectly here by having Otto say it but not cutting back to Daemon saying it. Then when confronted, Daemon doesn't admit anything. Third thing, don't watch Game of Thrones until the end of this show. It's easy to miss when watching GoT first but the outcome to the events of this show is mentioned in passing, but if you know anything about this story, you'll pick up on it immediately. I hope y'all enjoy this series and if you're readers, pick up the book Fire & Blood. But I guess after watching the series cause, obviously, spoilers.

This show COOKS so far. A Song of Ice & Fire is an awesome IP that has a lot of awesome stories to tell, but Game of Thrones S8 did some DAMAGE to the fanbase. HOTD needs to be successful if we’re ever gonna see more A Song of Ice & Fire shows. I’d kill to see a *good* Aegon’s Conquest or Robert’s Rebellion series.
