Rhaenyra is beginning to annoy me.

A completely pointless risk with zero rewards.
Even if she convinced Alicent, what would Alicent do exactly? Is she the one on the throne?

You're right but you should know Rhaenyra doesn't know that yet. She still thinks Allicent controls her son mostly because the war hasn't started yet and as she sees control is slipping from Allicent and Otto's hands that's why she did that. It's not a cheap discourse

Broskyjames:
The latest HOTD episode might seem [b]slow paced or even uninteresting, [/b]but imo it is like one of the most important episodes so far in the entire show, that has ramifications not just for HOTD but for GOT as well.

King Viserys I on his deathbed, high and delirious from the milk of the poppy, repeats, Aegon the conqueror's dream of A song of Fire and Ice to Alicent (and in the delirium, thinking he was speaking to Rhaenyra), talking about the Prince that was promised, and this dumb broad Alicent, thought Viserys was speaking about her useless son, also named "Aegon", because for some weird reason dem Targaryen, seemingly have a pool of 10 names to pick from, and they are cool with repeating names and causing confusion , and that's what started this bloody war in the first place.

I can't even blame Alicent too much, as i think she had already accepted Rhaenyra as her queen before Viserys spewed that nonsense to her. If only Viserys had just said "The princess that was promised", probably things would've been more clearer, but Alicent heard Prince and Aegon and she put 2 and 2 together to make 4 😭.

And what was that prophecy about Daemon all about? 👀.

Solid episode.

EXACTLY! The episode is just setting up what is to coming in the next episode, that's what people don't understand. Although Rhaenyra didn't need to go to Kings Landing, it was important she needed to talk Allicent before it actually started -
reason 1 is she still thinks Allicent controls her son
2 - she still sees Allicent as a friend despite what happened in EP 7 season 1
3. Allicent is smart enough to know if Rhaenyra dies- Daemon is probably the one with all the strings since Jace is still young
Now, Rhaenyra understands that war is the only way forward since even Allicent is not to be trusted.

Laughing..I'm a star war fans to the core.

The movie is going as expected.

I don't know what you are expecting from the movie that it's not giving

You’re a Star Wars fan to the core but you don’t know how the series has been breaking core lores and important story arcs of Star Wars that even the creator George Lucas is disapproving the series or don't understand how shitty the acting and dialogue is because they decided to focus on diversity and lesbian witches fkin to give birth to twins because 'women don't need men in their lives'

If you’re posting spoilers abegi type SPOILER WARNING before you type anything else please. I may watch dark matter or interview with vampire later in life. Thanks

NeoWanZaeed:
It's actually nice.. still building up though.. I'm at episode 4

Only a non-Star Wars fan would say this

Kaycee7:
The Drake Remoray one?

Yeah😂😂😂

NeoWanZaeed:
Downloaded ..I don't like it

Your opinion

Windows laptop no fit do am

It's strange that no one is talking about the masterpiece that just dropped

pu7pl3:
Yea apparently people don't know the difference between real life and acting again

This reminds me of one Friends' episode 😂😂😅

abduleez1:
She surely has. Just rarely shown in the show.
If I remember correctly, her dragon will suffer a similar sad fate too. Prolly one of the most heartbreaking moments in the dance of dragons.

STOP SPOILING STOP SPOILING💀💀😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Succession S1-4
The best series I've ever binged

I've had this series for a long while but I'vent even opened it too even see what It's because the premise didnt really entice me- a series about a rich dysfunctional family 🤷🏽‍♂️ I prefer dragons, death and blood. But right from the first episode of this series- you can never understand the direction of this show! The best directed series I've ever watched for a number of reasons

1. succession’s outrageous ambition

It seamlessly blends explosive comedy with dismal tragedy, often in the same scene, and delivers sharp observations, wit, irreverence and awe, in equal measure. And then there’s formal daring – for example, Season Four’s timeline is just ten days, that is, a day(ish) per episode!

At the heart of the work is the study of ambition itself: At a systemic level it continues to prosecute capitalism’s deep contradictions; at the personal level it vivisects the narcissistic, avaricious, self-actualising destructive, bitter, deluded, driven and wicked selves breathing such fetid air; and at the centre is the death-like grasp of the rugged individualist patriarch’s vaulting ambition, o’erleaping itself, and all who stand before it.



2. succession is like nothing else

Part satire, part pastoral, part comical-historical-tragical, it is akin to Dallas or Dynasty (less the big hair and bigger shoulder pads – indeed here the comedy masquerades as tragedy) but Succession zeroes in on not only wealth and excess but trauma, sorrow and media-business via grotesquerie and fine naturalism.

It looks like a fly-on-the-wall doco – with its use of hand-held cameras and whip zoom – yet is stunningly curated and designed. It is a lux travelogue to estates, extravagant yachts and mountain retreats, but is often claustrophobically domestic.

It’s also a business primer, reckless, roiling therapy, living thought experiment and morality play. Mash-ups can sometimes just be mash, yet here the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

3. the affect

How often do you shout at the TV? Watching this show it becomes inevitable, except when it also freezes your hands in dread halfway between shielding your eyes, blocking your ears or clutching at your stomach.

You’ll also cry, cry with laughter, in misery, in fear. It’s a car crash – in one instance, literally. You shouldn’t look, but you do – and you will feel something.

4. a moral compendium

Evagrius Ponitcus, a 4th-century monk, compiled what Pope Gregory later described as the Seven Deadly Sins. Evagrius was worried that just listing temptation and sin might harm his readers. He knew though that it was crucial work, with each of us needing to know our strengths and weaknesses.

Watching the wilful concatenation of vainglory, greed and lust, acedia (despondency) and tristitia(sorrow), that is Succession, it really does pack an ethical punch.

5. succession is its own thesaurus

It is tempting just to assemble quotation after quotation of rebarbative, wounding, up-to-the-minute and hilarious lines and neologisms from the show. And bilious, ingenious, dyspeptic many of them are.

People even pay just to have Brian Cox – who played Logan Roy, the patriarch – swear at them.

There is so much more to the show however than one-liners.

6. characters, actors, performances

Merely just listing the character names is enough to elicit a shake of the head, knowing that they are so appalling generous, and evil. Trapped in their wicked closed loops, it’s head-spinning cognitive dissonance.

What is not in dispute is how strong each actor is, especially so in this final season where even the smaller parts are stepping up and hitting it out of the park.

7. how the 0.1% live

Rich people, literally Les Rois, the Kings. Is it a celebration or a repudiation? Either way, they live in our world, but most are not of (or care for) this world.

NB: it's also one of the funniest shows I've ever watched which is strange
An A+++++ show

Baddestguyp:
The king meant Rhaenyra's son Aegon...not Alicent's son.

Edit -
I'm also wrong

😂 it was definitely about Aegon the Conqueror, Viserys thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra

Lana1:
Criston and Aegon are a perfect match.
In a perfect universe, it's their type that gets killed first with all that stupidity and recklessness.
But you just know in this show they'll some[i]how survive till the very end[/i]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 no one's ready for episode 4

pu7pl3:
How is casting black people historically incorrect you simpleton?

Bro is like Samuel L Jackson's character in Django Unchained. Bro hates his own black people for succeeding. I'm sure if it's in the slave era, he'd sell his children for a thank you to his white gods

ProverbBaelish:
Is White Lotus actually entertaining?

abduleez1:
Lol

You sure say you no be Jerome Black/Whitelotus??

This message is four years old wtf! Don't tell me you scrolled till 2020?

abduleez1:
The movie is doing crazy numbers really. It's the Barbie of 2024.

It's actually doing wayyyyy better than Barbie. It made 100 million in the US for its second week, that's actually crazy and it hasn't even opened fully in china yet. Let's see how it holds up

DieRich5:

Have you seen male Dog Fûcking another male dog. ?

It's rare but yes

Robertgreene1:
Interesting....These demon-possesed gays again...
Worse part is that they don't even feel bad about it again!!!
My gayish cousin bro...come see as the guy don accept his gayness like an achievement...fine boy like that oo...
I just wonder how man go naked for him fellow man...bend doggy and another man is pummeling his anus!!! God forbid bad thing!!! That guy is not a man again na!!! He's less than a woman sef... sometimes l nearly cry when using the toilet when l have constipations...so how do those people enjoy that disgusting nonsense...isn't it extremely painful? Don't they bleed and tear their anal tissues?
Tufiakwa!!!

Why should they feel bad🤷🏽‍♂️ it's their preference. What's your business with where they put there dck. You must be gay yourself because it looks like you would want to try it once for yourself with the way you're describing it

SlavaUkraini:
Dumbest reply ever...

There are Animal rights too..

But you don't see a dog Fûcking another dog

So any man that is Fûcking his fellow Man is less than a Beast

You're just ignorant. You may call it a deformity that's your choice. But humans are peculiar and unique, you can't compare humans to dogs. Just like humans can have ADHD or be blind from birth or have mental issues before they're even born, that's just how anyone can be attracted to his same sex - it's not normal of course but that doesn't make them less human than you are. It's not a choice, if it was - do you actually think they'd choose to be labelled less than a dog from someone like you. What do they stand to gain from homophobia?

You guys are all just ignorant

Sheistoopretty:
I just hate U.S for this Lgbtq nonsense!!

When I went for vacation at the U.S, I couldn't even stay up to 2 days and had to leave the country because of the disgusting things I saw people do publicly

You left the US because the alphabet were all over your face😂😂wtf!

SlavaUkraini:
Nonsense universal right that makes a human being less than an animal

Dumbest analogy I've ever seen😂 so universal right makes humans more like animals. Maybe you having a slave or two makes you more human.🐱

SlavaUkraini:
That Student can go to hell...

The Pope should not Apologise to Dirty Fággots

Gay men are disgusting and should be with Bobrisky in Jail...

I will only understand their Homosexual views the day I see a male Dog Fûcking another male Dog.

What Animals find disgusting is what so called human beings are now accepting...

These people are lower than Animals

You're comparing human sexuality to dogs?

Still wonder how Netflix have the stomach for this kind of outrageous budgets for a movie to be dumped in streaming straight up. If it was going to theatres initially before coming to streaming I can say, they can recoup their funds but a movie that's gonna be forgotten in two weeks time, that's a whole lot.

Despite how one is made to believe streaming is profitable, I highly doubt that a movie with a $200mn-300mn budget will make back it's money solely in a streaming service. Not possible to me. Those profitability are reserved for movies in the $50-70mn (or lesser) production budget.

Anyways, they seem to have hired a new executive who's not into overly spending on these mostly trash storytelling with big budgets. Looking forward to what the film slate of Netflix will be in 2025.

They know it'll be profitable just because of the stars and director in the movie. Look at the Gray Man- although no one liked it (except me) it did well enough to guarantee a sequel in less than a week 🤷🏽‍♂️. The Electric State has Millie Bobby Brown in it - someone that just made a movie (Damsel) that's already in the top 10 most watched Netflix Movies ever made. With Chris Pratt and some A List celebs🤷🏽‍♂️. It looks like that has always worked for them

abduleez1:
Lol, so this movie na shït and you want make I watch am? 😂😂
Me wey dey struggle with premium good content before.

😂it might actually be your thing but I just think it's just very artsy in a bad way. It can be a short film but they made it longer just because - just using bright colours and dark colours with very slow transitions and camera movements 😭 a 9/10 story a bad direction

Baddestguyp:
I watched 1 episode of Bridgerton and dumped the show quickly.

It's not for me at all. I can't deal with some girly show

I can understand your point. But in my opinion - I closed my brain watching the first episode and it hooked me immediately. It's still one of my most rewatchable shows of all times
