HBO GOT Prequel: House of the Dragon 🐉 (Season 2, 6/16)

[Chicity]

The funny thing about the GoT show is that they did race swap to put black characters in the show, but there were actual black characters in the story that they either race swapped or just didn't include. It's kinda weird. Like if you wanted black people in the show, why didn't you just use the black people that were available and expand their roles a little?

Very few were pivotal

They barely touched on the Martell storyline but it still worked

Yeah, they would have to expand character roles if they wanted the black characters to be important in the show. That said, most of the characters in GoT that were race swapped to be black weren't exactly pivotal either.

I think that was a character that was race swapped.....

There are no black targaryens in the books


However there is a black girl that fights on behalf of Rhaenerya named Nettles...

If I had to guess....I think the black dude may be the sea snake corleys velaryion

And in the books it’s a merc brown Ben plumm who said he got some targ bastard blood. And one of the kings did have a black mistress but he had like 7 of them

Not super excited about this because I've been dying for an Aegon's Conquest series or a Robert's Rebellion series. But I'm fuck with it on GP anyway. GoT brought me too much joy to not give them niggas my viewership on the new shit.

Shit I need to hurry up and read Fire and Blood lol

You don't have to..

The first two audio books that cover this story are on youtube

The Rogue Prince

The Princess & The Queen

I wonder how they are going to handle the subject of Rhaenyra's kids

 

[mike030270]

Can we talk about the book here or should there be a separate thread again like the other one?

No book spoilers.

The Fire and Blood book? Or the regular series?

 

[mike030270]

The Fire and Blood book? Or the regular series?

This prequel is about Fire and Blood isn't it? I was talking about the book that's specific to this show. We have one for books 1-5. Should we just use that one for the prequel book too?

So the Velaryons are black now. That's cool because they from old Valyria also, tho they weren't dragon riders

I'm at this part of the novel and stopped. Gonna be dope and just as interesting as the first 6 seasons of GOT
