"I mean to fight this war and win it."
Hi, yes, hello! So, if you're like me, then you've probably been anxiously awaiting any and all news about the upcoming season of House of the Dragon.

The first season of the Emmy-nominated series wrapped in October 2022 with one of the best episodes. If you need a refresher, the Season 1 finale, titled "The Black Queen," featured Luke's death after Aemond chases him and his dragon Arrax while they ride their dragons in the sky above Storm's End.

This all led to one of the most chilling final images as Rhaenyra gets the news, and Emma D'Arcy conveyed so much anger and sadness with just a single look.

It has been a long wait for more House of the Dragon, with every new piece of content being released about the second season going viral, including most recently, these posters of the characters.

The posters reflect the divide between Team Green and Team Black, with HBO even asking fans to choose a side.
And now, we finally have TWO, yes TWO, full-length trailers, one for Team Green and one for Team Black.
The trailer for Team Green, which consists of Alicent Hightower, Aegon II Targaryen, Aemond Targaryen, and the rest of their family, focuses on Alicent still claiming Viserys wanted Aegon to succeed him.
Meanwhile, we also see Aemond saying he "welcomes" the challenge to go up against Daemon if he "dares" face him.
Team Green is ready to step down a path of absolute violence, with Aegon declaring "to war then" during their trailer.
Meanwhile, the trailer for Team Black, which consists of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, Daemon Targaryen, and their family, opens with Rhaenyra once again stating that her father wanted her to succeed him on the throne.
Rhaenyra also declares that she is ready to fight the war "and win it" as the realm is threatened to be ripped apart. Meanwhile, Daemon is ready to do anything to make sure the other Houses "bend the knee" to the true queen.
You can also spot what appears to be the moment when Arrax's remains have been found. You can spot Storm's End in the background, and it appears to be Syrax, Rhaenyra's dragon, on the beach.
And, we appear to get a glimpse of Jacaerys Targaryen and Lord Cregan Stark in the North at The Wall.
The two different perspectives on the same season, as we see one trailer from Alicent and Aegon's perspective and one from Rhaenyra and Daemon's, is brilliant. Like, it's so smart, and it makes me even more excited about the chaos that will befall House Targaryen.
And don't worry, in both trailers there are PLENTY of dragons.
And, as to be expected, people are already reacting to the incredible first two trailers:
ALICENT IN THE SEPT. A SPACE SHE CONNECTS WITH HER MOTHER. A SPACE SHE SHARED WITH RHAENYRA. A SPACE SHE FEELS MOST HERSELF IN, AS IT’S A SPACE DISCONNECTED FROM THE PATRIARCHY AND HER ROLE AS A WIFE/QUEEN/DAUGHTER OF A FATHER. pic.twitter.com/OOvO3aFehL
