ENT **Official Thread** HBO House of the Dragon premieres 8/21

Poor @MM. His arms are too short to box with God.

I’m sure this made sense at 3am.

 

[MM]

Maybe, but their app is kind of ass and the volume is terrible

App yes, volume?…PayPal?

 

[rcm]

App yes, volume?…PayPal?

Maybe I'm thinking of Hulu, not sure tbh. Could be HBO though.

One of those requires me to turn my volume up to like twice the normal volume I use for shows for it to be audible

 

[SBrooks1]

I’m sure this made sense at 3am.

It makes sense now. Especially in lowercase.

 

[rcm]

Yep, just search "HBO volume low" on google

 

[Sp33dealer]

Ya idk if it’s changed at all but the HBO Max app compresses the fuck out of the image

Will this be in 4K?

yeah, apparently 4K HDR

 

[EdgeOfSanity]

yeah, apparently 4K HDR

I'm sure they'll compress it so much that its no better than 720p native

 

[Sp33dealer]

yeah, apparently 4K HDR

Hmm I guess we’ll see

 

[Petey!]

I want some first impressions.

Trailer is decent. Looks like GoT.

But I'm just not that hyped. But I genuinely hope it does well. I hope the plot is flushed out and we're not doing a repeat of GoT.

I'll probably wait for some reactions before watching but we'll see.

Once burned twice shy, amirite?

 

[Petey!]

They make the best shows, can’t hate on that

Some of the trailers though..... oof.

And you know exactly which one Im talking about.

 

[GRattu]

I have higher hopes for this one than I do the Jon Snow series they have in the works

 

[Sp33dealer]

I didn’t read book but hopefully we’ve got enough people involved to be interesting

The character list/families were deep in GoT. Intertwining them all was part of what made it so great. I assume this will mostly be Targaryen’s drama

THIS

The prequel is definitely a good angle.... the post Jon Snow shit I'm not seeing it as a good storyline

 

[Sphygmo]

This trailer was actually pretty fucking strong


Looks approximately 1000x better than lotr. Fuckin Amazon

 

[SBrooks1]

[Sphygmo]

That LOTR trailer is fuckin weak as shit bruh

 

[Sphygmo]

Need to finally watch the og trilogy in 4k to rinse that out

 

[MM]

Wait..you think LotR is going to be good?

 

[SBrooks1]

Wait..you think LotR is going to be good?

I HOPE it is. It's certainly got more potential than more GoT bullshit.

 

[Sphygmo]

Absolutely fuckin not

 

[Sphygmo]

The director of hardhome and battle of the bastards is one of the showrunners on this and also directed multiple eps


If that doesn't make you have a little faith I dunno what to say

So it's gonna be more action focused and less political intrigue, I can fucks with it

This some west virginia mentality at is finest.
