House Of The Dragon Season 3_ Why Daemon Sees Daenerys and Jon Snow

Fun Times

Transcript

00:00Welcome back everyone it's Charlie the house the dragon showrunner was talking about Damon's

00:11visions and how the meant to influence the events of season three and season four and

00:16how some of the things he said changes the context of what the different visions are

00:20and how green seer magic in Helena's dragon dreams magic work in the world of game of

00:26thrones like they're changing a little bit about way all these powers work.

00:29They also specifically answered a lot of crazy theories that people had about Daenerys Targaryen

00:34in why Damon saw her specifically in the vision in not Jon Snow for example or like the second

00:40long night or the night King even just because there are so many different things that he

00:44could have seen in those visions.

00:46So there was a lot of confusion about what the show was trying to say like if they were

00:49saying that Daenerys was ultimately meant to be the princess who was promised in Jon

00:53Snow was not the prince who was promised the showrunner came out and clarified all

00:57those details.

00:58So will break it all down as is the case with a lot of visions and prophecies in the world

01:03of game of thrones.

01:04They're often misinterpreted really good example that in present day of the main show right

01:08now is Rhaenyra has already started to misinterpret Aegon's prophecy about the second long night.

01:14So I'll explain what the showrunner said what theories that it confirms and what theories

01:17that he actually shot down most of what he said was actually pretty helpful.

01:22So if you're brand-new to the channel.

01:23Be sure to subscribe to get all the videos and for those you asking they're getting ready

01:27to film season three, but those episodes won't release until 2026 but speaking of the three

01:32eyed raven Brendan Rivers aka the blood raven.

01:35We will be getting night of the seven kingdoms episodes in 2025 probably sometime around

01:40the summer.

01:41I will be doing episode videos for that I've already been a much bigger trailer.

01:43So I'll link that at the end of this when we saw him in all the visions he's already

01:47become the three eyed raven, but he's like a younger version of the three eyed raven

01:51that we saw during the original game of thrones series will eventually see a much younger

01:55version of that character during night of the seven kingdoms before he goes north to

01:59the wall and becomes the three eyed raven, but during all Damon's visions he sees a bunch

02:04of different things.

02:05Some are a little clearer than others, but the showrunner confirmed a couple theories

02:09of mine about what was going on here exactly and why he was getting those visions specifically

02:14because the three eyed raven could have shown him literally anything.

02:17I know there were a couple details like Helena's presence inside the dream itself the visions

02:22themselves like she knew she was in the visions and she was communicating with Damon in real

02:26time while he was having those visions and she seemed like she had a level of control

02:30inside those visions like she slowly getting more and more powerful.

02:35So this is how the showrunner clarified all these different visions and what was happening

02:39during all these scenes he confirmed that Alice rivers have been trying to shepherd

02:43Damon back to the side of the children of the forest.

02:45The old gods the side of good basically the side of the three eyed raven who's got trying

02:49to orchestrate things from the future.

02:51So the timeline plays out in a beneficial kind of way for them and it is him using his

02:55green seer powers from the future to influence events and communicate with people in the

03:00past which we saw them do during the original game of thrones series.

03:04Everybody remembering Hodor hold the door because in present day of the show right now

03:09house the dragon Brendan rivers the three eyed raven has not actually been born yet.

03:13So like everything he's sending to Damon has to be from the future one of the main

03:18powers of green seers is the ability to see everything from the past that we're woods

03:23have seen which is why they can only see in proximity to actual we're woods the show sort

03:28of expanded on this and made it way more powerful of an ability, but the three eyed raven eventually

03:33brand anybody else that's a green seer can do what we saw them do during the original

03:37game of thrones series basically take a tour of the past.

03:41So that's how the three eyed raven is communicating with Damon here showing him these visions

03:46didn't explain too much specifically about how Alice rivers was a servant of the three

03:50eyed raven.

03:51She was mostly just a pawn as she said to Damon herself like I'm just a pawn like you

03:55are in this grand scheme of things, but essentially she is sort of serving the will of the three

04:00eyed raven there a lot of theories in the books that she's secretly a green seer the

04:05show could dig into this during season three we will see Alice rivers will be back on the

04:09show they clarify the reason why Damon was getting these visions in the first place

04:14was to be like the last linchpin in turning him towards the side of good like he kind

04:20of already gotten there mentally, but this was like the last piece in that step and they

04:24wanted to show him specifically how he would be tied to this beneficial outcome eventually

04:30like all these future important events that would have to play out and how Damon specifically

04:34would be connected to those.

04:36So was the three eyed raven specifically playing on Damon's ego in a sense of vanity

04:41showing him this is how you will influence this beneficial outcome.

04:46So everything Damon sees all the different visions in the people are either tied to his

04:51family like his direct line his bloodline or events that he is directly involved in

04:56which helps nail down when some of these events happen in the timeline because some of them

05:00are little confusing as to when they actually happen.

05:03So first off Damon is the grandfather of the three eyed raven here Brendan rivers a.k.a.

05:08the blood raven.

05:09So big part of all the visions is him showing Damon his direct family line like I said like

05:13his bloodline that will come from his and Rhaenyra's children the three eyed raven was

05:18born Brendan rivers a bastard of Aegon the fourth who was the son of Viserys the second

05:23this little guy here that we saw with Rhaena and his brother Aegon the third both of Damon's

05:29children with Rhaenyra.

05:30So that's why he sees the three eyed raven under this weirwood tree north of the wall

05:34first like he could have shown him any visions he didn't have to show him himself.

05:38But he wanted Damon to see that he looked like him like oh this guy looks like me.

05:42So remember this is him playing on Damon's ego.

05:45The reason why the raven comes out of his birthmark is because in the books the birthmark

05:49was the shape of a raven and because it's red blood colored.

05:53That's how Brendan rivers got the nickname the blood raven before he became three eyed

05:57raven.

05:58They did confirm that Damon is meant to see the white Walker in the whites from the perspective

06:02of a direwolf.

06:03That's why the camera seems like it's loping here from perspective, but it's meant to be

06:07a vision of the future not a vision of the past in the reason why the white Walker looks

06:12different from the night King is because they wanted it to be a totally random white Walker.

06:17It's not supposed to be the night King himself is just meant to be a vision from later in

06:21the timeline sometime between the events of game of thrones season one in season seven

06:25when they march south of the wall like once they break through the wall all the dead dragons

06:30were meant to be different in the original storyboards for this vision.

06:34There was a much larger field of many many dead dragons not just like the two that you

06:38see here it was supposed to represent the larger metaphorical death of the dragons which

06:44is an actual event to that happens in the fire and blood books like there's an event

06:48called the death of the dragons that the maesters refer to, but also it's metaphorically just

06:52meant to show you the collateral damage from the dance the dragons all the deaths of the

06:58dragons themselves very very bad because if they were to go north of the wall right now

07:02and try and nuke the white walkers they could actually win pretty easily, but it's way harder

07:07to do that.

07:08If you do not have any dragons anymore.

07:10This vision also kind of gets into spoiler territory to some of the stuff will cover

07:14during season three and season four.

07:16So I don't want to talk too much about this, but it is tied to a specific event in the

07:20books called the death of the dragons.

07:22All those books are out right now you can go read that right now if you want to read

07:26ahead.

07:27I think what happened in the final version of the scene that they did they cheaped out

07:30just a little bit like they want to save some money.

07:33So the only just did two dragons instead of like a bunch of different dragons here.

07:37Then the showrunner didn't clarify which battle Damon is walking through here across all the

07:41dead bodies.

07:42If it was one of the battles from the dance the dragons in present day or was from later

07:46in the timeline like the battle of the trident from Roberts rebellion, but my guess is because

07:50most of these visions are meant to be linear in time for the most part not not everything,

07:55but some of them are meant to be linear.

07:56This is closer to the dance the dragons there a bunch of very bloody battles that we will

08:01see during season three and season four.

08:04So he felt like they were cheaping out on the really big battles during season two season

08:07three should be off the chain.

08:10Then they confirm my theory about why Damon falls into the lake and seemingly drowns is

08:14a reference to what Alice rivers has been telling him all season at Harrenhal that he's

08:18gonna die here near Harrenhal in the God's eye is all part of that grand battle they've

08:23been hyping up for a bunch of different characters between Damon and Eamon like both of them

08:28and other characters have been hyping up this big conflict between the two of them and Helena

08:32flat out telling Eamon that he's going to die at the God's eye you were swallowed up

08:39in the God's eye and you are never seen again.

08:43Now the showrunner played coy on if the prophecy in the books got Damon's ultimate fate wrong

08:49like if we talk about the timeline here we know what happens to Damon because we've already

08:52seen much later in the timeline, but the fire and blood book only says the Damon's body

08:57ultimately was never found.

08:59So the realm just assumed that he got like the maesters assume that he died because they

09:04never found the body, but you know the rule in all of stories.

09:08If you've ever seen any movie ever.

09:10If you don't see a body.

09:11There's no confirmed death.

09:13So I think that's them just leaving open the possibility that Damon has some other ultimate

09:17fate on the TV show that will see play out in season four.

09:21Then they confirmed that the red comet is the same one that we saw during the original

09:25game of thrones series just as Daenerys dragons were hatching a bunch of the different characters

09:29later in that timeline during the main show also had different interpretations for what

09:33the red comet actually meant.

09:36Most them believe that it's important of things to come like a time of great change

09:40like the herald of great change is just the different characters have different interpretations

09:44about what that change is going to be for instance Daenerys thinks that it looks like

09:49a dragon's tail because of her dragons Melisandre thinks that it's the herald in confirmation

09:54that Stannis is the prince who was promised Aeron Greyjoy just thinks that it's simply

10:00the herald of a new age, but that's why right after this the three-eyed raven shows Damon

10:05Daenerys's dragon eggs hatching on the funeral pyre basically the events of game of thrones

10:09season one episode 10 from behind because the actress was different.

10:13This is actually the actress that played because Emilia Clarke wasn't going to come back and

10:16do a cameo scene for the episode there a lot of theories about why he saw Daenerys and

10:22not Jon Snow or like the second long night.

10:24So people like why Daenerys specifically in nothing else from the future because there's

10:28a lot of big events the Damon could have seen here with the showrunner and the writer said

10:33is that they weren't trying to say that Daenerys was the princess who was promised in Jon Snow

10:38was not and that's why Jon Snow wasn't there is just that Damon was meant to be getting

10:42visions that would play on his ego like the three-eyed raven which is trying to show him

10:47that Daenerys would come from his bloodline and she be important in the future.

10:52It wasn't the three-eyed raven showing Damon.

10:54This is the princess who was promised this is the fulfillment of the prophecy.

10:58It was just a random vision of a very important person that would come along later from his

11:02bloodline the funny thing, though, is the showrunner did say the Damon misinterpreted

11:08the vision of Daenerys specifically because she's meant to look like him like he recognizes

11:13her.

11:14Oh, you look like me.

11:15You look like Rhaenyra my wife.

11:16So in this moment, Damon actually thinks that Daenerys is a child that he's gonna have with

11:20Rhaenyra sometime in the near future like will give birth to you in the near future

11:25which we know is wrong because she isn't born for almost a couple hundred years later.

11:29But if it wasn't clear both Daenerys and Jon Snow come from Damon and Rhaenyra's line.

11:35So like ultimately they are part of Damon's bloodline.

11:38So the show wasn't trying to make any kind of definitive statements about who the prince

11:43who was promised actually was like the ultimate fulfillment of the prophecy.

11:47Personally I always thought that it was meant to be the combination of Jon Snow and Daenerys

11:51coming together like the fire and ice also the idea that Jon Snow is literally the son

11:56of both fire and ice.

11:59But I'm sure at some point maybe like the next hundred years.

12:01Hopefully George R. R. Martin will somehow nail that down in the next couple books.

12:06But the writers in the show and are said the last vision of Damon seeing Rhaenyra on the

12:10iron throne with her like adult Rhaenyra was meant to be a very clear indicator of the

12:14outcome that needed to happen in order for all these good things to come to pass sort

12:19like beating Damon in the face with the outcome that needed to happen like Rhaenyra needs

12:24to be on the iron throne.

12:26When it comes to Helena batmanning herself into Damon's vision in real time like she

12:31has control over some of these visions herself.

12:33The way the shoner explained it is that as time has gone by Helena has become more powerful

12:38in the sort of combining the way the dragon dreams work with the way the green seer powers

12:43work this is not something from the books like the way the books get into it.

12:47They make it seem like a completely different types of abilities and usually when you hear

12:51about people having dragon dreams there of things that happen in the future and typically

12:54in the books green seers only see things from the past, but on the show there simplifying

12:59that in Helena.

13:00For example, can see things all across the timeline and her powers work similar to green

13:06seer powers.

13:07Now I did a totally separate video earlier this season when they revealed all the different

13:11visions or not all them, but most of the visions that Helena's had in a lot of them are things

13:15that happen in the future like Jon Snow and Daenerys.

13:18So like Helena has watched all the original game of thrones DVDs like she seen everything

13:22that's can happen in the future and now apparently everything in the past as well to Helena.

13:27Could you please tell us how George R. Martin's books are going to end one of the other big

13:31things that they've changed about the house the dragon TV show from the original books

13:36is there bending the timeline a lot and changing when certain things happen in the timeline.

13:41I think mostly in service of keeping as many of the big main characters around for the

13:46entire show as long as possible for example, the fire and blood book that talks about the

13:51dance the dragons that they're adapting for the show goes on to explain what happens after

13:56a lot of the main characters are dead.

13:58But actually think the way the showrunner and the writers talk about the house the dragon

14:02show is that they're going to end with Rhaenyra's death and even though the books continue on

14:08with what happens after Rhaenyra dies they'll stop the show at that point just because they're

14:12treating Rhaenyra like she is the actual main character of the show and they confirm the

14:17season four is the final season the probably at least like one or two big deaths during

14:22season three, but I'm expecting them to save a lot like the real big deaths for the final

14:26season itself, but if there's any other questions you have about what's going on during season

14:31three or what was going on during Damon's visions that I didn't talk about in the video

14:34just write them below in the comments and I'll add them to my future bonus videos will

14:38probably get a bigger trailer for night of the seven kingdoms later this year to in early

14:42next year.

14:43Just based on the timeline of when they typically release big trailers like that everybody click

14:47here for the first big trailer for that and click here to learn what was going to happen

14:51in house the dragon season two episode nine and episode 10 before both of those episodes

14:55were deleted and they completely change the scripts.

14:58Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one!
