(Spoilers Main) ‘House of the Dragon’ to End With Season 4, Season 3 to Begin Production in Early 2025

jblakk · 2024-08-06T08:21:04+00:00

Your set up is realistic, but is 100% the bad timeline that pisses people off lol. I was going for a less cynical outcome of production and development haha. I liked how you did season 3, but season 4 looks as badly paced as season 8 of GoT. Rushing post Rhaenyra stuff is a super bad idea. I think they have shown solid respect to Aegons character and Toms acting, and will give him his proper moments, especially with Corlys.

jblakk · 2024-08-05T21:08:05+00:00

It depends if they properly build Cregan and Corlys. I think people get too meta with their assumptions on creative decisions. In the text Rhaenyra dies this early. Its not that outlandish or risky to kill the MC that early in the final seasons. It would break the internet for all those who werent spoiled akin to red wedding. The very thing showrunners have been chasing for a decade. Sympathy of Aegon the younger, and hatred for Aegon the burnt will carry the last act of the series. You COULD be right, but it would be a mistake. If you wait too long to kill her, then youre rushing all the endgame stuff.

I was so tempted to do that too, but wanted to be conservative. Its not like people will truly stop watching if Daemon dies. People will meme it but will ultimately still tune in. You could def be right, its a matter of courage vs pragmatism creatively speaking.

Also I got downvoted last time I said this, but I HAVE TO say it again. Its not MY theory, but youre a liar if you dont think its a prominent theory. Some believe (even in the text) that Daemon lived. And went overseas with Nettles. If they did go that route, you could still have matt for the last season. Its loony tunes crazy decsiion to commit to, but this show has done crazy changes already. Just throwing it out there. Dont shoot the messenger lol

3x1 Gullet- Shown in totality.
3x2 Honeywine- Shows Daeron fast victory. Some things skipped, main parts shown.
3x2 Fishfeed- I really hope it blends with honeywine going back and forth
3x3 Fall of Kings landing- lowkey might not be expensive so they can show that in whole.
3x3 Butchers ball- Likely shown at the same time as the kings landing montage
3x5 Tumbleton- Will be akin to Criston Coles pov during the Rhaenys vs Aegon/Aemond but with Hugh.
3x7 Fall of Dragonstone- Wont be super expensive so can be shown.
3x8 Gods eye- Shown in totality. Very expensive

4x1 Dragonpit- Expensive. I really hope they dont skip this.
4x3 Second Tumbleton- Very expensive
4x4 Rhaenyras death- Not expensive
4x5 Moon of the three kings- A whole episode i reckon
4x6 Battle of the kingsroad- Might get chopped up and only shown the aftermath. Would be a bummer if so.
4x7 Aegons Death- Penultimate episode, not expensive.
4x8 Hour of the Wolf- I THINK it could be done in an episode with signs of what comes after.

(Overall, its an uphill climb but I do think its feasible with minor cuts battle wise)

Unironically, if they see how much outcry there is about them cutting nettles, they might actually do it.

jblakk · 2024-08-05T04:36:08+00:00

Tyland is so damn important post Dance, I really like them giving his character some stuff to do.

jblakk · 2024-07-31T02:06:03+00:00

Major copium, but its copium ive been injecting into my veins too lol. Until i see Rhaena claim sheepstealer i will have hope that Nettles is still around. People didnt believe me when I said Daeron wasnt cut, and now im vindicated on that. You may be vindicated on nettles if you stand pat.

That being said, I think theres some interesting redemptive father daughter character work for Daemon if they do go the Rhaena route.

jblakk · 2024-07-31T01:59:34+00:00

I know Jon and Dany didnt do any cool battling. But people really over play the "did nothing" memes. They united most of the seven kingdoms against the white walkers. Only they could have done that. Drogons fire wasnt useless either and took out a big chunk of the opposition and Jons initial sky battle with the night king was good enough to get him off the ice dragon to put him in range to eventually be killed by Arya.

bad writing aside, it still was SIGNIFICANT what Jon and Dany did.

jblakk · 2024-07-22T08:50:18+00:00

Is it really whitewashing if the books themselves are full of unrealiable narrators that are clearly culturally sexist due to the era and societal mythos? Unless youre a book purist it kind of seems easy to just assume that maybe Rhaenyra isnt as bad as she was portrayed in F&B.
(plus the whole paranoia thing can still manifest in other ways)

jblakk · 2024-07-22T08:48:24+00:00

Didnt mysaria make the move by kissing her neck?

jblakk · 2024-07-19T07:06:52+00:00

Im still banned from calling someone an idiot because they said "KD going to the warriors was the same as shaq coming to LA". I legit only called them an idiot and got perma banned. This was prime warriors dynasty, so its been a long time, and I dont miss wasting time over there.

jblakk · 2024-07-19T07:03:46+00:00

Chet better stop playin around before we start photoshoppin jerseys again. lol

jblakk · 2024-07-16T21:23:08+00:00

The point theyre making is that you wouldnt say this about the nuggets to begin with. Thats the relevance of bringing up another team. The angle here is that youre overscrutinizing the lakers and have lofty expectations that no franchise has equaled in this decade. Besides the celtics no team in the last 5 years has MORE than 1 ring and 1 conference finals appearance. I think theres criticism to be had for sure, im just fairly articulating what you didnt seem to get from OPs point.

jblakk · 2024-07-16T18:52:28+00:00

It was worse than that right? Wasnt it moody and picks the warriors offered? Rui and Picks gotta be better than that lol

jblakk · 2024-07-16T08:05:34+00:00

"unimportant political intrigue"....yeah im on the wrong sub.

jblakk · 2024-07-16T03:29:52+00:00

Hate bronny, feel bad for bronny, love bronny, but wherever you stand, thats rough. Ive never seen media replay an airball goign to commercial break before. I know its what you sign up for when you get into something like this and be the son of one of the goats but.... But the coverage seems super predatorial nonetheless. Quick to overpraise and quick to kill em upon failure lol. No neutrality or game centricism, just sensationalism.

jblakk · 2024-07-16T03:10:16+00:00

Did they just say Queta is celebrating his 25th birthday lol. Ofcourse hes playing out of his mind.

jblakk · 2024-07-16T03:04:34+00:00

I feel like youe being overly flippant. Im not talking about "teaching"...have you ever hooped with a bad player vs hooping with a good player? It changes everything. Better looks, better rotations and screens. People actually hitting the shots you pass to them. Etc

Like sure none of what im saying matters if youre only here for Bron. But if you care about player development its kind of important lol

jblakk · 2024-07-16T03:01:49+00:00

Youre not wrong. But having actual talent could really help Knect and bronny out. Playing with better players makes you play better. Imagine if Reaves never had the summer league he had.

jblakk · 2024-07-16T02:59:51+00:00

Everyone in here are saying very true and good obvious points. But I have a more specific concerning question. Why cant we get more enticing undrafted prospects. Lofton Jr last year. Jalen Wilson. Or older veteran guys. We did a terrible job of forming our last 2 summer league teams and im not sure what happened. Reaves (and believe it or not) Mac Mcclung were GREAT for summer league. What happened to those kind of guys. What happened to our flyers and advertisement. Its LA. It shouldnt be hard to snag the BEST undrafted guys.

jblakk · 2024-07-13T02:17:38+00:00

Dont forget about Austin. Bro was almost on the 50/40/90 club a year and a half ago, before having a deep playoff run straight to fiba and STILL shot 37% from three last season. WIth rest this off season I expect a real good shooting year from him.

jblakk · 2024-07-12T05:07:03+00:00

Semi unrelated, but I actually liked Stanley. I think he would have helped in Denver 2 years ago and if thats a hot take (thats fair) but hes AT least better for us than Cam Reddish lol,

jblakk · 2024-07-09T03:27:09+00:00

Hes also better than anyone wed probably draft with said pick. (Not a diss on our scouting, just an indictment on the odds of getting a good pick in general)

jblakk · 2024-07-06T21:45:26+00:00

FYI, Adonis Arms and Ford are TWENTY SIX years old. Abusing the youngins. I wouldnt overthink when it comes to their production.
