House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 6 Trailer Breakdown | The Butcher's Ball

[00:02] your host Paul, and this video we're breaking down House of the Dragon. the build-up to the Tumbleton fight, which we saw in the trailer that dropped

[00:15] for episode five. However, I am enjoying it, and I do think something big is going to happen this episode. Feel like the season though will likely have the big battle at Tumbleton as the climax, or at least the coming episode seven. If

[00:28] Game of Thrones thing where you have the big episode for the penultimate one, and then the finale is kind of dealing with the aftermath. Anyway, we've got lots of because I've cursed everyone who doesn't hit the thumbs up. If you don't, then by

[00:42] the end of the video, the ghost of Robert Baratheon will possess you. Also, there'll be book spoilers here as well, so if you don't want to know, check out so if you don't want to know, check out now. Now now let's watch the trailer.

[00:57] >> Have you forgotten already the doom that hangs over you? >> Only a big spoiler in her is weak and unsuited to rule.

[01:09] unsuited to rule. >> Little by little, bite by bite. >> I cannot let this go unanswered. >> We must do what we should have done in >> Wait but a while longer. >> At what cost?

[01:22] >> My daughter! >> [screaming] >> Okay, so the teaser opens with distant screaming over the top of Rhaena being

[01:35] shot of the moon door, and then her saying about the doom that hangs over to trial at the veil, and if you fail, then you just pushed to the depths below. This was a massive moment in the original series, and it looks like

[01:49] love it if she gets pushed through, and then Sheepstealer sweeps in and catches her, but I I do feel like things will be a bit more cordial. Rhaena is looking a following what happened with Nettles, then I think she's going to be called a

[02:03] fire witch by the locals. Also, I wonder if they're annoyed about their missing shepherd and that could expose how Daemon covered things up. However, it could also be Jane trying to bother a way to get more into the conflict. She

[02:15] allies and the warning about the doom that hangs over her could be a number of things and potentially she could even have changed her mind about keeping then cut to Aegon and the gang doing a good fellas and burying Janos in the

[02:29] woods. After the talking to by Larys in the last episode, it does seem like he's starting to become himself again. Now, because of that, I do feel like Sunfyre very soon. I think Harrold's rest people might start asking questions

[02:43] about Janos, especially the guy who tipped him off in episode 5. This could and then when he's in danger, the creature shall rise up. Dragons are their riders and I think it would be such a cool way to have the creature

[02:56] return. According to Ormund, he then says they have a clear advantage and that they're exposing Rhaenyra as weak and unsuited to rule. The line delivery distinct takes which are taking place across multiple scenes. So, I do think

[03:09] that they're probably going to have lots of Ormund strategizing in this episode. He also says little by little, bite by bite with the latter being the tagline for the trailer. While this is going on, we then cut across to King's Landing. We

[03:21] streets being followed by what I think is an assassin. However, this is no ordinary gold cloak and due to the long hair beneath the helmet, I think this is think he's probably going to try and draw out the conspirators and likely use

[03:35] himself as bait. We then see Rhaenyra in what I believe is the library before cutting to Aemond and Alicent Harrenhal. Guy's down on one knee and oh mate, yeah, you're not proposing already, are you? Well, as I'm sure you know, or if

[03:47] you don't, but Aemond and Alicent, they have a thing in the book and this image is clearly building towards that. Whether or not the guy is down on one knee literally, he has bent the knee and subjugated himself to Alice. In the

[04:00] book, the pair end up having a baby, and I do think this is laying the groundwork for that. I'll not do another Burning Rivers theory time because I've talked about it like at length in several videos, but I do think it's worth

[04:12] bringing up, and this is just him kind of moving towards getting hooked up with saying how they can't let this go unanswered. I'm guessing she's talking pushing Daemon as the heir. They then touch upon how they should burn

[04:25] Tumbleton, and we then see a dragon flying overhead. Arryk and Erryk beg him to wait a while longer, but we know the sacking of Tumbleton is something that's is coming. The fact that Rhaenyra is willing to attack her own people to win

[04:38] also shows how vicious she is, and it's something that causes her to lose favor also see cuts of Tumbleton itself. We get a shot of Helaena at one point as well, and see what seems to be Alicent the right. So, it does appear that they

[04:51] get out of Maegor's tunnels. However, I was also looking at the backdrop and didn't really recognize it, so maybe they are down in the tunnels still, and they've managed to like spark up the the lantern again or something. It's edited

[05:03] though to make it seem like Helaena is stitching, and she didn't take this with at the bedroom. Either way, we then shift to a dramatic fight with what I mud markings. This appears to be the Butcher's Ball ambush, which we get

[05:17] several shots of throughout. Now, when we first uh shot the mid-season trailer video, I did think that they might have a fight at Tumbleton. However, I was about the timing." And being the Butcher's Ball here does seem more

[05:30] likely, especially with how much of a downer he was on in the last episode. I the characters know more, and this could potentially be our Criston's last episode. Cuz yeah, the character does die at the Butcher's Ball. It's going to

[05:43] be a big glorious one, mate. They'll they'll they'll sing songs about it in mate oh and Allison she's going to she's going to be absolutely devastated but that that will show her mate. I can't wait until I'm dead so you's all really

[05:55] sorry about it. I hope I do die and you'll be gutted. But yeah, Criston is killed by Red Robb Rivers who strikes him down with arrows during the ambush and this puts an end to the mopiest knight who ever lived. He is hit by lots

[06:08] of different longbow crossbowmen winds I think they're called long longbowmen longbow crossbowmen. Whatever that is he's hit with lots of them and it does feel like that's something that might reflect Jace's

[06:21] death. We also have a what appears to be Hugh Hammer meeting with envoys from try and barter for his wife and they might even give him a place amongst their ranks. In the book both he and Ulf switch sides which this could be laying

[06:33] awesome shot of Rhaenyra on marching to the throne as well. I love the way the shot looks great and yeah brilliant moment. The commoners also seem to be in uproar about this. And it could be for a number of reasons cuz let's be honest

[06:47] the rule is going a bit What she should really do though is give out some great ones then why not check out our merch store right below the video. There we have our Syrax one Vermax and also our Caraxes one as well. We've got tons

[07:00] of different shirt designs on there too that I know you'll must love one of them on average and they're all top quality prints perfect perfect fabric quality too and yeah big discounts on them too for the more that

[07:13] I'm a salesman as I'm sure you can tell. But anyway we end the teaser with Ormund saying the patient hunter gets the kill which makes me think this means episode. They've been you must be patient before big stuff goes down but

[07:28] this just having two episodes left after this one I do think that Tumbleton will be coming very very soon. In the next three weeks I would imagine. But this patient hunter line is actually be um and it foreshadows the Butcher's Ball

[07:42] this will probably happen early in the episode before Criston's death. Think the episode will likely build towards that and in the end it's a complete massacre. So, Gerald Ball Grey described it as butchery and not battle and that

[07:55] is why it got the name Butcher's Ball. So, ending on this is very, very important and by teasing this event in the episode 6 preview, the show is bringing us one of the Dance's most shocking and one-sided defeats. But,

[08:08] they'll sing songs about it. Anyway, that wraps up the teaser and yeah, I think episode 6 is probably going to be one of those ones that a talky one for quite a bit and then we build up towards a big battle at the end and then see

[08:22] everyone's favorite character go off into the great beyond. But, yeah, I'll mate. He's mobious little I've ever seen, but uh yeah, thanks for checking Leave a thought or your comments below. I know the actor has even been like,

[08:37] "Oh, like he's so mobious. I wish I got to do more." So, yeah, sorry, mate. Bond or something. I heard that's coming uh yeah, see you on the next one. I'll see you Sunday and thank you for

[08:49] checking out this video, too. You take care. Peace.
