I never personally liked Daemon Targaryen but boy him and Caraxes seem to change my mind It may be the way Matt Smith looks the part. Somehow Caraxes has more personality than any of the GOT dragons, which makes me really excited for the rest of the dragons. Because I finally feel safe to guess that they're going to make the dragons WOMDs with ~personalities~!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically (I say as if this is a real world thing), Corlys and Daemon were tight way before the Daemon / Laena marriage. The war for the Stepstones was around a decade before the were a pair. I do think it makes sense to omit Rhea Royce and have the role at least somewhat filled by Mysaria instead. They can reasonably explain away why Daemon doesn't marry Mysaria because Viserys wouldn't approve, or he hopes to marry for an ally, or something.

It's not quite clear who Alicent is, I suppose, but there's a lot of spoilers relating to who she is. Hopefully it alleviates your concerns if I point out that 2/3 the named characters in the first GOT trailer were dead by the end of the season (only Jon survived). It didn't name the Lannisters, Starks, Dany, Drogo, and Viserys only got "the Targaryen girl and her horselord husband," and the only children in the show were Bran, Theon in the background, and the back of Arya's head.

While Corlys may doubt Otto, I think that Rhaenys's angle is more 'Rhaenyra's succession will cause problems' as an objective assessment. Rhaenys's angle could also play well into them making Rhaenyra's marriage more politicized. If she takes a "this will cause problems but our son could be her consort" angle, then it could be more of a plot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't have concerns really. The writers consider the four principal characters of Season 1 to be Viserys, Daemon, Rhaenyra and Alicent, and they introduced three of them by name, explaining their relationships too. Alicent wasn't mentioned because, again, spoiler culture, but we got a hint of her role anyway with the "duty to marry again" line. So definitely a better use of cinematic language than GoT and its trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternally_Theirs Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Was this song made for Rhaenyra vs Aegon or what? And get this: the song implies that the Queen's children will win, which is exactly what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 9 hours ago, StarksInTheNorth said: There wasn't much subtlety in the first GOT trailer either, though. It opened with allusions about the threat beyond the wall, but the bulk was Robert's quote about the coming war, the threat of the "Targaryen girl," and the drama between the Starks and Lannisters. The closest to subtlety might be Ned's conversations with Bran (re cutting off people's heads) or Arya (re not fighting a war amongst ourselves). But even then, neither child is named, we only see Arya's ponytail, and those aren't the scenes that caught anyone's eyes. It gave the impression is that GOT was a show about a monstrous invasion presence long before there is such an invasion. True enough. I literally forgot the first GoT trailer. But I'd have really liked it if the HotD thingy had more subtlety ... or rather would present itself in such a way. There is not going to be a big civil war in the first season, after all.
