House Of The Dragon (2022)

eu ma uit din ce in ce mai greu la el. n-are nici o treaba cu fantasy-ul, e doar politica. cu accente de pedofilie, pe care le-am trecut cu vederea in GoT de dragul actiunii.

Mie mi-a placut ultimul episod cel mai mult. L-au aratat pe Viserys, omul. Si l-au conturat bine si pe Aemond si conflictul lui cu Lucerys. Caci tot el va pune capat neintelegerilor

Iar scena cu Viserys intrand in sala tronului e de nota 20.

Ba insemna ceva sa fi citit.
Ceva ca GoT n-o sa mai existe vreo 20 de ani de acum inainte.

Dacă nu ar fi existat GoT probabil altfel vedeam acest serial. Așa, cu așteptări foarte mari, o poveste destul de liniară, zero mister... imposibil să stârnească același interes. Tocmai de aceea am luat o pauza (încă nu am văzut ultimele 3-4 episoade), aștept să-mi vină cheful să îl continui.

sincer ii dai prea mult credit autorului. inca din prima carte, cand daenerys era intr-o parte a lumii (peste ape) si jon snow in cealalta (la zid), stiai ca toata povestea este de fapt intalnirea dintre cei doi si cum ei vor conduce continentul. a song of ice and fire, ce naiba. twist-ul a fost sansa si sunt convins c-a aparut pe parcurs ideea asta, nu a fost gandita de la inceput. povestea a fost stricata chiar de autor, cu mult prea multe personaje care fac swing intr-o veselie si mult prea multe poveste paralele, care se termina nicaieri.
si da, house of the dragon este muuuult prea liniara, nu are nici o ramificatie. si nu are pic de fantasy. toata actiunea e o poveste de palat, macar daca ar picta frumos si in detaliu intregul univers de-acolo, ai avea ce urmari. asa...

Dar ce boala avea Viserys?? Fara un ochi, unghii maronii, o bucata de obraz lipsa, eczeme pe spate..

                   As the Seven Kingdoms welcomed the 129th year after Aegon’s Conquest with bonfires, feasts, and bacchanals, King Viserys I Targaryen was growing ever weaker. His chest pains had grown so severe that he could no longer climb a flight of steps, and had to be carried about the Red Keep in a chair.

               By the second moon of the year, His Grace had lost all appetite and was ruling the realm from his bed... when he felt strong enough to rule at all. Most days, he preferred to leave matters of state to his Hand, Ser Otto Hightower. On Dragonstone, meanwhile, Princess Rhaenyra was once again great with child. She too took to her bed.
               On the third day of the third moon of 129 AC, Princess Helaena brought her three children to visit with the king in his chambers. The twins, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, were six years old, their brother, Maelor, only two. His Grace gave the babe a pearl ring off his finger to play with, and told the twins the story of how their great-great-grandsire and namesake Jaehaerys had flown his dragon north to the Wall to defeat a vast host of wildlings, giants, and wargs.
               Though the children had heard the story a dozen times before, they listened attentively. Afterward the king sent them away, pleading weariness and a tightness in his chest. Then Viserys of House Targaryen, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
               He never woke. He was fifty-two years old, and had reigned over most of Westeros for twenty-six years.
               Then the storm broke, and the dragons danced.

Actorul care l-a jucat pe Viserys a declarat ca a fost o forma de lepra... acuma, sau a vorbit gura fara el, sau cei care au venit cu ideea nu stiu ce e lepra, pentru ca nu stiu ca lepra sa nu fi fost EXTREM de contagioasa si extrem de improbabil ca sie contractata de un rege (e totusi o boala a saraciei, dar cine stie, poate vor sa wokizeze si bolile, sa nu mai fie ostracizate si marginalizate).



Si mai e problema ca boala lui a schimbat TOTAL tonul domniei lui Viserys, care trebuia sa fie una fericita, dupa care sa urmeze furtuna. Ce naiba a adaugat mai bun boala lui fata de ce trebuia sa fie, daca se luau dupa carte, tipul ala nu stie sa joace roluri lighthearted?
