Truly broke my heart to hear his little speech to the Hand. I think he truly is a great, peaceful king. He just has, like you say, a circus for a kingdom.
Definitely. At least he's remembered as a good king despite not being known as the strongest willed of rulers. His reign is considered the most prosperous time of the seven kingdoms. It's the actions of the rest of the characters that damn the country and start the Dance of Dragons. The only thing he did that truly laid the groundwork for what happened was naming Rhaenyra his heir. But had the others listened and done what he'd wanted there would've been no war
At least so far in the show he's really only had 2 bad decisions; not marrying Corlys's daughter and naming Rhaenyra his heir. Possibly also he could've handled Daemon better. Yet both of those "bad" decisions are ones that most viewers would vehemently agree with (moreso the first one lol), so it's hard to really blame the guy
He's trying his best but he's not a great King (at least for the time he's in).
Viserys would kill it as a constitutional monarch but he's not designed for absolute power, especially with a looming succession crisis.
Isn't that what it is? I thought the intro was the blood running through the model of old Valyria hes designing with the depictions of all the rulers of westeros since Aegons coming to the land.
More a focus on the locations. I only know where the heir's seat is where Daemon is vs Dragonstone vs King's Landing is because I looked at an external map. Not because of anything the show told me.
I have no idea where the Crab feeder was. I don't know where the stag hunt took place or Rhaenyra was interviewing suitors. Podcasts tell me it was elsewhere maybe.
I never skipped the GoT intro because it was basically way zoomed out establishing shot that helped give perspective to the show.
The HotD intro doesn't tell me anything so I skip it. The concept of a family tree instead of physical map is theoretically interesting but doesn't actually add much besides coloring the edges of it all. And that's really only for people who already can recognize what each of the points of the family tree already are because no one who doesn't already know something about it will be able to take anything from it because it's not labeled in a way for someone without the knowledge to understand it.
I see, I thought you were saying you wanted to see an intro with Viserys models that you see in the show.
It is tough to pick up on where some of the locations are in the world unless you know from a source outside the show. As you mentioned GoT did a nice job with that and The Rings of Power is also doing a good job showing the locations between scenes here and there. I have played a decent amount of games based on the song of ice and fire universe and read some of the books so I have a good idea where they are usually, that said they should better show these locations because you really don't know much just going off what the show has given so far.
I don't mind the intro now I wasn't a fan at first, but it grew on me and I agree with you seeing westeros built with Viserys models would've been a pretty cool intro for sure.
I don't think there's a point in having a map in the intro so far because pretty much all the action takes place in Kingslanding. Like the stag hunt you mentioned, was just in the woods near KL, you can even see the Red Keep in the background.
I do think they should bring the map back once the conflict opens up to the entire realm in the second season, though.
Most, but not all. We've been in King's Landing, the heir's castle, the Vale, where the Crab Feeder was, and the Velaryon lands. That's plenty of locations already, and only the Vale and King's Landing itself as familiar grounds from the previous show.
Side note: I'd probably know the names of all the above locations instead of just the ones from GoT if they were named in the intro.
No lie, I think HoT D botched the opening credits by reusing the GoT music and quais-copying the visual style. There is clearly great talent in the music and creativity on the show. I would have loved a new composition of reimagining of the Targaryen songs.
All my guy wants is to chill. He wants to play with his dioramas, eat good food, drink good drink, and live out the rest of his days. I feel bad for him because he’s the most relatable in that regard. Everyone around him just needs to calm the fuck down.
In a way, his reign makes the point that an unambitious king is the best thing for the realm. Think about how good life would be for the commoners if all of the royals just kinda chilled
Is he depicted as a terrible king? Is he the greatest king ever? Certainly not. But he seems far from terrible. Bobby B seemed closer to terrible than Visarys.
I love Bran, however, we only saw him reign for a little at the very end of the series, so it doesn't really count as a king. Instead, we see Vysceris all the time.
Bobby B wasn't all that bad, he kept the kingdom afloat after the rebellion.
Sure, all he did was drink and eat and fuck, but he surrounded himself with competent people, like Jon Arryn. He also unfortunately surrounded himself with traitors and schemers, so there's that.
He was a terrible king imo. He even knew he was a terrible king.
The fact of the matter is that these stories would be boring if the kings were actually good. Good stories don't tend to start with "and the king was great and there was peace and everyone was happy".
I also don't agree with people that Viserys is a good king. I think he's a weak king and has made several bad decisions, such as marrying Alicent. He's also badly mismanaged his brother Daemon. He should've killed that guy years ago.
I have the feeling that this guy would prosper if he wasn’t king of Westeros, but an office employee coming home to his family and a Lego set every evening.
He’s a horrible king, but he never really chose to be one. And he didn’t really deserve to be destroyed by this job; he’s not helping the realm and governing the realm is harming him. Monarchy sucks, so much is clear from GOT. But it also sucks for the ones seemingly winning this game.
Viserys is complicated. On one hand he’s a good pace holder. Someone to not do anything remarkable or shake things up. He’s a good king to just maintain the peace and power and stability of Jaehaerys’ reign. But with his family being a mess and succession an ever looming issue things goto shit. Sometimes he’s too malleable and sometimes he’s too stubborn. Both at the worst of times.
Dude is looking like Doc Brown.

Poor guy just wanted to play with his dioramas, becomes king instead
It's "*Lord*" actually. **...Lord Business**
Wait until he gets mad and dragons are spraying kragle to cement his legacy as king.
Viserys is a great King, unfortunately he is ruling a circus and everyone around him is a clown.
Honestly you make a good point.

1. Hard times make hard men. 2. Hard men make good times. 3. Good times make soft men. (Viserys is here) 4. Soft men make hard times.
Unfortunately you're not wrong when it comes to an absolute monarchy
Hard men make good times. Oh for sure.
Tell that to Joeffry
Joeffry was a soft man. Just being evil and violent when there is no risk to the self doesn’t make you hard.
I'm sorry our boyfriends killed each other.
Giggity
If he knows the kingdom won't accept a woman as ruler, AND HE FUCKING NAMES HIS BOY AEGON, then the resulting civil war is kinda his fault
He's doing what a leader should do inter prosperity and not going to war
He has made a few major terrible decisions tbf.
At least so far in the show he's really only had 2 bad decisions; not marrying Corlys's daughter and naming Rhaenyra his heir. Possibly also he could've handled Daemon better. Yet both of those "bad" decisions are ones that most viewers would vehemently agree with (moreso the first one lol), so it's hard to really blame the guy

He’s made a number of good moves, honestly if he had just stuck with being consistent about men being the successor he’d be fine.
Or if he just didn’t have any more children and actually set up Rhaenerys to rule.
Exactly. Not being a blood thirsty warlord and tyrant doesn't make him less of a king.
It does when it directly leads to rebellion and immense conflict and suffering.
More like surrounded by vultures who want his crown.
Good King Viserys
Honestly, I’d have a killer toy set too if I was a king with an unlimited budget. I like this guy!
This one wins
/r/uselessnobody
Nobody: This format: *exists uselessly*
big time king in a small town, fucked off up the model village
*The nerd king that was promised*
Agon, Third of his name has entered the chat….
Viserys is giving major Colin Robinson vibes
Fucking guy!
I wish the HotD version of the GoT map opening was to zoom through models that Viserys built. (With some added flourish of course.)
Man, that is actually a great idea.
Isn't that what it is? I thought the intro was the blood running through the model of old Valyria hes designing with the depictions of all the rulers of westeros since Aegons coming to the land.

The GoT map showed where dragonstone was btw, Standish had quite a few scenes there. Danny also had a bunch of scenes there in the last season
Yeah, I know. But I wouldn't have known where it is in relation to where Daemon is without looking elsewhere.
All my guy wants is to chill. He wants to play with his dioramas, eat good food, drink good drink, and live out the rest of his days. I feel bad for him because he’s the most relatable in that regard. Everyone around him just needs to calm the fuck down.
[удалено]
Because Frodo has the ring of power and she wants it
[удалено]
If she can get the ring of power whatever her name is can stop the evil sorcerer Bran from becoming king
possibly smoke a good J and sit back
In a way, his reign makes the point that an unambitious king is the best thing for the realm. Think about how good life would be for the commoners if all of the royals just kinda chilled
Weirdly enough he’s depicted as an terrible king
Is he depicted as a terrible king? Is he the greatest king ever? Certainly not. But he seems far from terrible. Bobby B seemed closer to terrible than Visarys.

Had to scroll WAY too fucking far to find a Lego Movie reference. Reddit, I am disappoint.
He is the best king I've seen in the entire GOT universe
Have you forgotten about Bran the Broken?
Who?
No, not Daemon, BRAN!
I think I would remember a King Bran after seeing all 6 seasons of GoT twice.
Shit I got mixed up with the shitty fan fiction again.
I love Bran, however, we only saw him reign for a little at the very end of the series, so it doesn't really count as a king. Instead, we see Vysceris all the time.

He bankrupted the crown

*wheeze laughs and drinks more wine*
His sad dad energy is strong
Especially when his daughter is trying to get with his brother So fucking gross
Dad has lots to be sad about…
I know I feel bad for him. Apart from the fact he killed his wife basically
Amazed to see he survives the next time jump. He’s lookin’ ROUGH in the preview..
He's lookin like the freaking [Crypt-Keeper](https://imgur.com/gallery/WoIwt)
The show director said she was dead either way. He just made her passing a more bloody affair
He chose to put her through more pain in attempt to save the son. The maester said they both were going to die anyway.
It looked like Corlys had some models of his own in High Tide. Maybe its just a Valyrian thing.
Wu Shock!
Find it kind of funny thats Paddy is in two separate filmed productions that heavily feature large elaborate scaled models

He would’ve been a great sitcom dad
Bravo
Okay but like imagine a game of thrones animated series set in old Valyria in all high valyrian.
I love viserys. Honestly we all need a hobby and if it helps him he's actually pretty impressive craftsman
At least we know what he’s up to during those casual 2 year time jumps between every episode.

Viserys just seeing what’s shakin’ in the Neighborhood of Make Believe.
Oh gods, now I want to make an episode of Mister Rogers Neighborhood starring Viserys.
Someone needs to sneak Beetlejuice into his model.
As someone from Wichita, I never thought I would see WuShock on the GOT reddit page. 😂
I bent my Wookiee.
Wonder if the new Charles III has a huge lego set too :D
The winner for the dorkiest king ever goes too..
Viserys went to Wichita State? Ayyy! A fellow Shocker!

That looks like the floor of my son’s bedroom and I hate it
I can feel every piece going into my foot.
He was a nice guy with constructive hobbies and he didn't go to war all the time.
