I don't necessarily have an opinion on all news I share, of course In this case, I don't believe I've ever seen any of his acting performances before, outside of his voice work in a Terminator movie. So I truly have no opinion on whether he'll make for a good Targaryen or not.

Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 No, that's Tobias Menzies who plays the older version of the queen's husband from Series 3 (I think). He was also Edmure Tully in Game of Thrones. Matt Smith was Claire Foy's husband in the earlier seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Ah, okay. When I said "Prince Philip is my favorite character", I was referring to Tobias Menzies, even though the younger Prince Philip (Matt Smith) was good too. So, yeah, good news!

He's far more memorable from his dual roles in Outlander, and I'm not just saying that because we see his manhood in the prison after some special time with Sam Heughan. I'll be in my bunk... In GOT, he's both a punching bag and a punchline. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I LOVE that they've expanded the iron throne with all the extra swords leading up to it. Still not quite what it was described in the books but it's better: Trailer looks ok! I'm optimistic about this show, there's a smaller chance they'll eff it up seeing as the whole contained story has already published. Hope the writers are good, and give us some of that GOT season 1-4 magic. And Matt Smith is pure gold in everything, what a phenomenal catch for the production.

GerateWohl 4,356 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Still GoT did not become famous for the great vfx, but for brillant writing. 1 hour ago, AC1 said: I dunno, take for instance The Book Of Boba Fett.

A24 4,331 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Of course, I was being slightly facetious ... Disney needs better writers. But it goes to show that you can have a successful show based on bad writing. But if the FX of Boba Fett were equally as dreadful, people wouldn't accept it.

GerateWohl 4,356 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 BoBF suffers from a bad script, bad staging and particularly bad action choreography. But it profits from good visual effects, great equipment and props, but mostly from fulfilling fans' almost life long dream of a live action tv expansion of the Star Wars universe. So, Game of Thrones still had to earn the fans admiration by itself. BoBF completely leans on its predecessors. Hopefully, this will not happen with the GoT prequels.

I actually had a discussion about this with my son. I said The Book Of Boba Fett only revisites or repeats what we already have seen. It doesn't show or create anything new. It's like it's written by fans who love to limit themselves by constantly referencing to the OT. That's boring to me. One of the reasons why I loved Star Wars was that each episode took us to new places, showed us new worlds. OTOH, my son likes that the TV series goes deeper into those same places and characters, but personally, I think it demystifies everything.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I just noticed that the dragon in the logo has 4 legs + wings...Maybe the dragons here are four legged?
