This just looks bad.
It's like they forgot what made the original story interesting, aka watching the various kids grow up, try to avoid their parents mistakes, or fail and repeat them.
This is just a bunch of people pretending to be serious and stomping down hallways.

I missed that this was a coal burner family, I thought it was just a random diversity casting
I can see their clownlogic in giving the halfbreed kids black skin but white hair. But how the fuck do they explain the black dude (presumably the husband who married into the family) white targaryan hair too?
I will add, it looks about as believable on them as it did on Emilia Clark. I see theyre still going with the "white hair but huge black bushy eyebrows" thing. Guess there are no real blondes in Hollywood to use as a reference?

Maybe Alinity will do a cameo nude, kinda like Ed Sheeran did his thing.
Keeping it PG, since it is in this forum.

The side they are on, with "Velaryon" (The black guy most prominent in the trailer) does get massacred. They are the ones who lose the civil war.
Of course, they were white until this show reminded us who the Kangs were. (You can see Velaryon in the first video below--white, of course, because the whole 'he was from the summer isles' is a huge retcon to add diversity to the show)
That's pretty much going to be the story if you don't care about spoilers.

if there were black Valaryions in Valaria, then there would be black valarions in westeros when they crossed over. and there wasnt.

What is this animation and video original from and created for? It is narrated by the cast of the show and way too high quality to be a random youtuber.

The season DVD extras, I believe each season has about an hour of these little clips.

tl;dr grrm saw the first episode and liked it. 50% screen time spent on eel pies, confirmed
I am anticipating HOUSE OF THE DRAGON pretty eagerly myself, for what it’s worth. Okay, I am hardly objective. And I know a lot of what you will be seeing. (I, um, wrote the book). Also … mum’s the word now, don’t tell anyone… I’ve seen a rough cut of the first episode. And loved it. It’s dark, it’s powerful, it’s visceral… just the way I like my epic fantasy.
Ryan and Miguel have done an amazing job, and the cast… just as with GAME OF THRONES, most viewers will only have heard of a few of the actors, but I think you are going to fall in love with a lot of them. (Only to have your heart broken later when… but no, that would be telling).
I think the Targaryens are in very good hands.
