Jakson Dunk & Egg Trailer Breakdown täydellinen litterointi

there's a you know, but I won't say what it is. 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.520 Um, I like the lightheartedness. 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.480 I I kind of threw me off when the guy said get the F out of my way because that sounded kind of modern. 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:21.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.319 Um, but they threw that in to say, hey, you know, this is still Game of Thrones, it's gonna be funny. 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:33.839 But what really um got to me is the part when Egg says, Why do you think these people are better than you? 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.079 And he goes, They are they are better than me. 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:49.439 Like he's Sir Duncan, he's such a noble person, he feels uh inferior, and he has that not that he has a complex, but he's just been taught that way, and he's still a nice person, and he's still he's still gonna be the one of the most loyal people. 00:04:49.519 --> 00:05:01.519 So that really struck me when he said that, you know, just seeing Egg on screen and just you know, he kind of reminds me he's precocious and he's gonna be charming and he's gonna be funny. 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:07.920 And Dunk is probably, you know, Dunk, for people who don't know, is an orphan from Flea Bottom. 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:16.079 Like he's come from he is comes from nothing, he's trying his best to move up in the world as nobly as possible. 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.959 And I I think you could see that in in the trailer. 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.600 People were talking about this photo that was released, and go, oh my god, is that color? 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:24.480 On the scene. 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:25.600 Yeah, I saw that. 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:31.120 Because everything with Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon is always like muted, you don't really see color. 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.279 Yeah, uh, so that was pretty funny. 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.639 I mean, we get to see all these characters from the book. 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.160 It was nice to see Tensor Two Tall from there's a Dornish girl. 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.399 She's uh she's basically part of like not a circus, but a travel. 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.839 What would that be called? 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:50.480 Like they go to like tournaments and like traveling like puppeteering, you know. 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:56.720 She they do puppets and like just to put on a show to make money, and you can kind of see Dunk. 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.519 And it's funny because when you see this shot, he is so much taller than everybody else. 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:02.560 You see that? 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.480 It's like yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:13.680 So that was a nice little shot to see the the the contrast and height, and then you can see her, and her, they call her too tall because duh, she's too tall. 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.839 So back to the trailer. 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:22.319 I'll ask you, we get to see Arian, the Targaryen, who's played by Finn Bennett. 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.360 The one I love the the tone of his voice. 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.399 I like the look. 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.079 Okay, I won't say I like the look. 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.639 It's kind of weird to see a Targaryen with short hair. 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.439 You know what I mean? 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:32.639 So it's it kind of threw me off. 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.279 He has he's like a bit's a bit modern. 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:36.959 He has a crew cut. 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.759 Like, you know, he's called Bright Flame, he's called Arian the Monstrous. 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.560 So he you you're gonna have to worry about him. 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:56.240 And then you also see Sir Lionel Baratheon, which is kind of nice because we we get to meet a Baratheon who was pre-Roberts Rebellion, and and uh he's called the Laughing Storm. 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.959 He has a big laugh and he's always cracking jokes. 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.240 So you get to see him quite a bit in the trailer, actually. 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.120 There is, you see, there's jousting, you know, there's always some kind of jousting in Game of Thrones. 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:15.839 And I saw a quote from George that said in the panel, he said, I always love medieval tournaments in other pictures. 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.639 We had several tournaments in Game of Thrones, they were in the background, but not the center. 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.639 I wanted to do something during the tournament. 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.879 I sent the TV writers a challenge. 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.560 Let's do the best jousting sequence that's ever been done on a film. 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.560 So I guess this is gonna be a proper jousting tournament. 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:45.120 I love that George fixated on because he said something in the Comic Con panels when he was like, This is where he just kept emphasizing like tournaments and and toys and how important that is to his world building. 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:57.920 So, you know, George, I love that I love when he fixates on on something so like specific about the world, because he also really fixates on like the way that his dragons are different than all the other dragons, yeah. 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.279 And like different than so many other dragons, and he goes specifics about it. 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.279 So I just love hearing him talk about that. 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:09.519 And I don't know, it's it's it's a nice Georgie detail to look out for in this in this uh project. 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:16.079 Yeah, I have two people DM the our page and like, well, so are there gonna be any like big battles here? 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.319 Like, what's I'm like, well, I don't want to spoil it. 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:23.199 I posted the trailer on our feed and somebody asked us, well, I'll DM you.

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.120 I don't want to say it on the comments. 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.920 And I said, Well, no, there's no big battles. 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:53.200 This is more focusing on the small folk, and this is what George, I think I saw him say in the pan, I don't know if you have the quote saying that this is the first time we're not gonna focus on the bigger picture, the lords and the ladies and the big noble houses is more about you know, people kind of like House of the Dragon did that small folk episode, and we'll focus on people there. 00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.000 So I and I think also it's gonna show the class extension between lores and then. 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.440 Oh, yeah, definitely. 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:14.080 And that's I think why that quote from Egg to Duncan is like, why do you you gotta stop with the they're better than you just because they're you know, it's probably oh yeah, yeah. 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:20.159 And that's something that's exciting, and I hope that that is a big big thing that we get to see in the show. 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.440 Um Yeah. 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:29.919 I I I have the quotes um about from Shor it's this is from Shoriner Ira Parker who says, I'm just gonna say everything that I've written down. 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.440 He says it's not the big sprawling game of thrones we've come to know and love. 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.840 This is intimate, this is bruted, and this is hard. 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:43.120 These novellas have so much hope, but they also have really brutal elements of this world that I think we've all come to love in West Ross where anything can happen. 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.679 There is a level of unpredictability that resonates with people because that's just how your life is. 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.399 And in this time period, this is me talking. 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:58.080 Um, but he's talking about the time period of um and I think kingdoms, he says this is a like a place where nobody's thinking about magic. 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.879 Uh, this could easily be 14th century Britain. 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:06.320 This is hard nose, grinded out, Christy, medieval knights, cold with a really light, hopeful touch. 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.679 It's a wonderful place to be. 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.200 We are ground up in this series. 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:10.720 We are starting right at the bottom. 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.440 We're not with the lords and ladies, the kings and queens. 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.720 He describes it also as saying, we have one character with a lot of hearts. 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.559 So that just backs up what Tony just told you. 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:33.519 There are no characters that are like vying for the throne and you know, in a in a power struggle and you know, uh trying to outwit one another and like play their hand and overpower one another, and like there are no Varus and Litted Fingers,

you know, competing in this in the series. 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.639 There's no like palace drama, you know, there's none of that. 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.240 It's um what you don't see in Game of Thrones, everything that you don't see. 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:41.519 So it's very interesting. 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.919 Like as I said before, it's very different. 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.720 Um, you know, that's what they've been emphasizing as well. 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:59.919 Um, and I don't think you mentioned this or either of us mentioned this before, but um it's actually they they want to emphasize how different it is to the point where um they're not gonna use any like there's gonna be no opening theme for Nathaniel. 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.159 So I guess like a meaning spoiler. 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.440 Yeah, I guess I think it's something that people were expecting. 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.200 I think we talked about this on the podcast as well. 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:16.879 Like, oh, are they gonna use a new theme or they're gonna just reuse it from like Game of Thrones House of the Dragon and this, but they really want to like emphasize the point that this is not going to be what you've seen before. 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.440 This is just like a similar world. 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:27.919 You will see like elements of what you already know, you will see the Targaryans here and there, you will see the Baratheans, but it's not it's not the same. 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.399 So uh it's exciting. 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.399 I'm I'm I'm I'm intrigued. 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.480 And you were gonna say something, Tony, as well, right? 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:43.200 Yeah, I wanted to put some context first for those who are listening for the first time or who don't know, you know, Dunkin' Egg novellas, which are three of them. 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:54.080 So the first season is gonna focus on the hedge knight, and it's set about 90 years before the Game of Thrones, 70 years after the House of the Dragon, uh, approximately around 209 AC. 00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:00.080 And by this time, the Targaryens have lost all their dragons, they died decades earlier. 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:01.360 Uh, but they're still ruling. 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:12.480 But their power is more political than magical, which is it's funny that you would think houses around Westeros, okay, they don't have any dragons, let's let's move in, let's try to do something. 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:25.440 Um, but there was a big rebellion prior to this first story of Dunk, which is the Black Fire Rebellion, which is something we want to touch on in the future. 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.440 Um, so that that's that. 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.480 Um, I also wanted to add a quote from George. 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.559 I don't I don't know if it's a dig to Game of Thrones. 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.000 Maybe it is. 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:42.399 Because he goes, it's as faithful as an adaptation as a reasonable man could hope for. 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:47.600 And you know how incredibly reasonable I am on that particular subject. 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:58.320 I've never seen him, but he's always talked about Game of Thrones in the past and House of the Dragon, but he's treating a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms like his baby. 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:02.799 Like I want to be, I want to be a part of this every step of the way. 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:03.600 Like he's there. 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:08.240 Like I was happy to see him there, but it just kind of feels different. 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:14.639 Like we always talked about you know, George always saying stuff and then posting his blog that's something different. 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:20.399 I think this is gonna be as true to his vision as any other other other show. 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.720 So I that's why I'm really excited about it. 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.240 I I know people are just kind of bummed that it's only 30 minutes. 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:33.039 Now, in hindsight, I'm a little bummed because I want to be in this world as long as possible. 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:42.320 And now, you know, think about you can binge this in in less than three hours if he watched season one, which is yeah. 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.440 And my hope is that we're not gonna have to wait two, three years to get a season two. 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:49.519 Probably gonna be the case, right? 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.440 We probably won't get the season two to twenty twenty-eight. 00:13:53.759 --> 00:14:08.000 Yeah, at least because they need another season, like another year for another season, and then if they're if they're on track with what it seemed like they're going to do, which is the season per novella, then it's gonna be like 2027, hopefully. 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.159 And or 2028, did you say it? 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.039 2027, 2027, end of it, probably, right? 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:21.919 Yeah, I'm I'm gonna tell these people look, House of the Dragon season three is gonna come up summer of 2026. 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.320 That's gonna take two years. 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:31.840 Please make season two of the hedge of not the hedge night, of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for 2027. 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.159 That way we have something in 2027. 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:39.200 Yeah, and not just have I'm assuming that's hopefully that's what they're gonna do. 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:42.960 I don't think their plan was to have two shows in one year. 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.919 No, no, no, because they were supposed to, it was already supposed to be out, supposed to be already decked now. 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.639 I keep uh forgetting the names of the book. 00:14:50.720 --> 00:15:03.279 So the first novella is The Hedge Knight, the second one, which was written in 1998, the second one is called The Sworn Sword in 2003, and then

the third one is called The Mystery Night 2010. 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.720 So those are the three. 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:08.960 So season one is the hedge night, and then season two will be the sworn sword. 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.840 Did I ever ask you which one was your favorite of the three? 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:20.080 Uh I don't think you did, but I don't think I can answer that because I read this so long ago. 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:38.080 Um that I I I need to reread it like now in these coming months before season one's app, just because I remember like parts of it because I read the first story not too long ago when we we said we were going to do a like a deep dive on it, but then I we did, but it was different than what we originally planned. 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:45.120 So um I I reread the first one recently, but it's been a while since I read Neveras 2 and 3, and I hope to do that soon. 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:55.919 I had the audiobook on for like a couple weeks, and um for those who don't know, uh the audiobook is narrated by Harry Lloyd, who played Prince Viserys. 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:57.120 Oh, no way, I didn't know that. 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.360 In Game of Thrones, uh season one. 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.720 Um he has a nice voice, so he he does it really well. 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.399 Also, uh it's kind of like a little lesson here. 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.480 For those who don't know what, like I I had somebody ask me what's a hedge night. 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.360 So a hedge night is a hedge night is kind of like a freelance night. 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:19.200 You know, they're just going from house to house seeing that they can find work. 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:24.720 So it's not like a person who is loyal or has a note to any particular house. 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:35.200 They just go around seeing they could find if they could uh take part of tournaments, they could help, they can work, you know, that they're just going around whatseros, see what they can do. 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.720 So they're not affiliated with any certain house. 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:44.399 Yeah, and on that note, I do want to like just give some more information on our main character, Dunk. 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.159 I'm not gonna spoil anything, obviously. 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.879 This is just like to get you excited with us. 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:56.240 Um, because you know, we described him as sorts of being like a Ned Starky type of character because he's very noble and uh his morals really matter to him. 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.639 I don't think that really comes across in the trailer. 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:05.759 He just comes off as like this, like um, I don't know how to describe him, but like a funny, like kind of guy you'd like to make fun of a bit, maybe. 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.480 Um like an awkward guy. 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:13.359 Maybe it's not I won't push over is is a little harsh. 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.759 Like, you know, the guy's like, get the F out of the way. 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.359 He's like, uh oh sorry, sorry, sorry. 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.200 Like like he like he like he's so like out of his element there. 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:27.440 Like he's trying to, he's tiptoeing around these people, and he's saying, like, I I don't belong with these people. 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:34.480 And so that's gonna be a fun little uh aspect of his character to s to see come on, you know, on screen. 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.839 He's not super confident, you know, he's a bit awkward. 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:54.000 Um, and I think that's that's kind of one of the most like a one of the central themes of the show, because we did describe it as sort of like a buddy comedy, but at the same time, um, it seems like the show is gonna focus more on Dunk than Egg, like on this squire, on squire, on this knight, Sir Duncan. 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:59.359 Um, so just to give you like a bit of an idea of where he's coming from and why he is kind of in this state. 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:15.440 So he was, uh I think Tony mentioned this earlier on, he was the squire to Sir Arden of Penny Tree, so another knight, but then Sir Arden dies, and then Dunk takes up his armor and travels to uh the through Westeros and ends up at the tourney we see in the traitor. 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:17.279 So that's kind of like where we start the show. 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.400 Um I'm not spoiling that. 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.640 That's like the beginning of episode one. 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:21.920 That should be the beginning of episode one. 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:23.759 So that's kind of where he is coming from. 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.079 So you can see that like he kind of just lost his mentor. 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.759 He's gonna be going through some sort of like a coming-of-age story as that kind of doubt. 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.359 He's gonna come into his own a little bit. 00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:36.480 That's gonna be, I think, a central theme for uh Dunk in this series. 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.759 Uh, he is a bit awkward and he has like his own charm, you know. 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:45.680 He travels with, he will we will see him travel with these three horses and he uses just like a rope for a sword hilt. 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:50.319 He's not, he's a very humble guy, simple guy, and he travels with three horses that he talks to. 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:51.680 Like that's a thing that he does. 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.440 When have you ever seen that in Game of Thrones? 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:53.920 Yeah. 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.200 Um, yeah, so it's just about the very ordinary guy. 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.359 He's coming from nothing, you know, he didn't have a name, uh, uh an inheritance or money. 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.400 He's just trying to make it. 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.920 That's what uh Ira Parker, the

showrunner, described him as. 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.839 And he also has something very interesting in the Comic-Con panel. 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.839 He says, you don't exactly know the final destination, but you just keep at it. 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:15.279 That's all Dunk has. 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:16.640 That's his only superpower. 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.079 He gets up and keeps going. 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:27.680 And when he said that, it's kind of reminded me of the monologue in the the Seer Superman movie where he's like, I get up every day, I put one foot in front of the other, and I'm just trying to live my life, and he said something like that. 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:33.359 So I think that like the fact that that's what that quote reminded me of. 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.680 It shows you like it gives you an idea. 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.720 He is like a, in a way, like a Superman Clark Kent. 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:46.160 Ned Stark, kind of like noble guy, but even though Ned was a bit too serious and you can't he wasn't like lighthearted in any way. 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:52.319 Um, like that's gonna kind of just give you the idea of where uh uh Dunk is coming from. 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.519 Like, imagine Superman in that movie when he's like kind of coming into his own. 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:00.799 That's kind of the journey we'll see for uh Sir Duncan in in this story. 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.039 So it's very interesting, it's very new. 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:09.920 Um, and the perspective isn't going to shift to anyone uh like Nobel or Royal for this show at all. 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:36.400 It's gonna be mainly him, uh, and it's character-driven so I think the Targaryens will be the side characters or the Baratheans, and I think for and he's such a character that you want to root for because there's a quote, I don't know if he says it in the trailer, but I as a quote that he says in the book, he says, I need to fight honorably, but sometimes I think I buried my courage alongside the old man. 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.079 Was that in the trailer? 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.759 And that's something I think so, because that sounds so familiar to me. 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:43.200 Yeah, it feels like I just heard that. 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:43.839 Yeah, yeah. 00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:47.920 So it's just that that's something that you go, oh man, just I want to root for this guy. 00:20:48.240 --> 00:21:02.160 And it's a show that I hope doesn't get like um review bomb because people are not like, oh, we don't like it because there's no you know, dragons, there's no big battles, and and I I just want people to give it a chance. 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:09.519 And I and I think it, you know, it it it's a tonal shift from the sweeping shows, you know. 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:23.519 It's oh yeah, we're talking about and it's probably nice to see humble grounded characters instead of the people that we always I mean, there are humble grounded characters in Game of Thrones, um, but they're far and few. 00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.640 That's why they stand, that's why they stand out. 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.559 Yeah, you know, well, Ned Stark stands out because he's so honorable. 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:40.000 Um Barris and Summy, like those people just stand up because you're like everybody else is just conniving and trying to do whatever. 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:44.240 Um so yeah, I I I'm really enjoyed this uh trailer. 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.799 I'm hoping I was it, it was almost two minutes, so I don't think that was a teaser. 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.640 I think that was the full trailer, correct? 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:59.680 It was a little over two minutes, and they still call it a teaser trailer, so I'm assuming we're going to be getting another longer soon. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:00.799 I don't know. 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.240 I mean, I guess for the people who know the material, you don't need another trailer. 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.559 So, but maybe who are people who don't know might need another trailer. 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:20.480 Because, like I said, you get to see probably the whole season in the trailer, like not you know what I mean, like you get to see moments that you know from the book, okay, that's this and this is that. 00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:22.240 Um, so we'll see. 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:31.279 I'm assuming they'll have another trailer come out before the series um in January 18th, which I'm so happy that we got a date. 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.079 Now we know. 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:32.480 Okay. 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.279 A birthday gift for me, a late birthday gift. 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:36.880 It's two days after my birthday. 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:43.039 Yeah, and it's uh we now we can schedule okay, we're gonna come out of our little break and then boom, we'll be ready. 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:48.880 What's kind of a bit funny is that we've been talking about the show, but we didn't really go into that premise, like what the show is actually about. 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:51.359 Obviously, if you're listening to this, you have an idea already. 00:22:51.599 --> 00:23:01.359 We described it in detail, but like the quick little premise that you get, like the official description of the show, to give you a very clear-cut idea of what it is. 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.279 We haven't really read that to you guys. 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:17.599 And um before reading one of the synopsis, synopses to you guys, we do want to warn you that um try not looking it up because some sources um include a spoiler. 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:25.599 And lots of Game of Thrones like accounts or like um, you know, accounts of the post about movies, TV shows, and you know uh George's World on Screen. 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:31.279 There's they share a very uh crucial spoiler to this uh show. 00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:36.640 It's argued that it isn't a

spoiler, so that's why um some people are very open when talking about it. 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:46.640 And we don't know uh how open the show is going to be with it, which is why me and Tony are not going to talk about it, because we kind of just want to keep that a mystery. 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.319 If the show's gonna keep it a mystery, we don't want to ruin the fun for everyone. 00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:56.240 So um, we're going to be reading a synopsis that doesn't uh divulge a key spoiler to the show. 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.640 So be careful when looking up the show because you might come across a spoiler if you haven't already. 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:03.839 Here's a quick little premise to Annight of the Seven Kingdoms. 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:13.279 Essentially before Game of Thrones, Sir Duncan the Todd and his squire, Egg, wander through Westeros while the Targaryen dynasty rule the Iron Throne, and dragons were still remembered. 00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.880 Great destinies and enemies await the incomparable friends. 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.799 So obviously, this is we've talked about this, this is set in a time post-Targarion. 00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.880 So in between House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, we've already said that before. 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:37.200 But it's very interesting because you know, like we're not just seeing a post-dragon world, we even got that in the trailer where we're seeing the Targaryen's popularity decline. 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:46.400 Something that Egg himself says in the trailer, and the showrunner explains that now that Targaryans don't have their dragons, they find themselves finally without the thing that's put them in power. 00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:51.200 And 50 years on from the dragons, people are asking, well, why are we still letting them be in power? 00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:55.599 And that's kind of one of the key themes that's going to be explored in the show. 00:24:55.759 --> 00:25:08.000 Um, as Tony said, it's gonna touch on class, it's gonna touch on um like no nobility, um, in terms of not just the like not the noble people, but one's own co-code of conduct and uh honor. 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:21.279 Um when describing the tone, uh no, when asked about when asked about the show, the showrunner said finding its place sandwiched between these two giants, aka game of one's house the dragon, um, was just tone, tone, tone. 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:28.559 They needed a different tone to differentiate us, and that's obviously what we talked about before with the comedic roots and how they're gonna make it completely different. 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:41.200 And he says these novellas are so lovely and sweet with so much hope, but they also have rooted elements of this world that people that people love about Westeros, and it's described as a story of hope, hardship, and survival from the ground level of Westeros. 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.640 So uh it's very, very different. 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.880 I I don't remember it being hopeful, honestly. 00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.160 I don't know if you remember it that way, Tony. 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.599 I just remember it being fun. 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:57.599 So I'm curious to revisit it through the show and the book as well and and reread the book as well and see if I can like see that. 00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.960 I don't I don't remember that at all. 00:25:59.039 --> 00:25:59.920 I just remember it being fun. 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:15.759 It's been a while, so um, I with all of that uh being said, as well as like the the colorful visuals that we're seeing on screen, I wonder how it's going to resonate with audiences because it's a new take on the fantasy genre, kind of according based on what I know. 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:17.759 And I hope people I hope it's good. 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:19.680 I hope people are accepting of it. 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:24.559 Um and you know, they're not just looking for something so gritty and dark because we have that. 00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:28.079 This is just fun, let's be fun, let fantasy be fun. 00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:30.960 So I'm excited. 00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:36.000 I I I I love the premise, I love the concepts, yeah, the tone. 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.079 It's just it's speaking to me. 00:26:39.039 --> 00:27:01.440 I will say that you know, this show it will focus on you know the small folk, but there will be some big shakeups when it comes to the ruling class, which I don't know they'll focus on, because at the time of when the show opens, they're on the second or they're on the good, uh, is king. 00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:08.160 And again, no spoilers, some you know, there's gonna be a big shakeup of who's ruling and how. 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:24.720 So it's not a simple and cut and dry of his, you know, he has a lot of sons, and um I don't know if I'm talking too much here, but I I I want to see how they um inject that into the show because it is a big deal. 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.559 Um, you know, a new monarchy, or you know, how that that all is gonna be involved. 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.480 That's all I'll say because you know, people are like, oh, there's not gonna be Targaryen. 00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.559 There will be Targaryen in the show heavily, I think. 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:44.640 Uh and this shakeup will probably be in the first you know, few episodes. 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:53.839 And the last shot of the trailer gave me chills because there's seven nights going. 00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:56.720 It's very, you know, foggy. 00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.000 It looks really nice that how they set it up. 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:14.079 You see seven nights charging forward, and then you see another seven nights coming towards those seven nights, and that is something called the trial of the seven, which is something that I never thought we'll see, and I'm very excited about that. 00:28:14.400 -->

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.480 Like this doesn't add much to like it doesn't bridge a gap. 00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:42.480 Like, oh, what's the backstory of this character? 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:45.680 Like that's what a lot of studios seem to be excited in nowadays, right?
