Hello everyone.

Before we get to season 8 updates, let's take a quick look at what happened in KL in
season 7.
Cersei plans to take back all the seven kingdoms.
Euron asks for Cersei's hand in marriage but she refuses him.
Euron leaves promising to bring her a "gift."
Then Euron attacks the Greyjoy fleet and captures Yara, Tyene and Ellaria Sand while Theon manages
to escape.
Cersei gives Tyene Sand a poison to kill her slowly and plans to keep Ellaria Sand alive
to make her watch her daughter's death.
The Lannisters destroy the Tyrells and Cersei meets with Tycho Nestoris promising to pay
back the debts.
After meeting with Jon & Dany at Dragonpit, Cersei promises to help them in the war against
the WWs while secretly she sends Euron to hire the Golden Company.
Jaime gets mad at Cersei and leaves KL.
And winter has finally reached King's Landing.
Now I'm going to discuss some season 8 updates which will obviously contain some spoilers.
So, if you don't wanna see any spoilers, you should stop right here.
As I had mentioned in my WF Updates video, we know there will be two major battle scenes
in season 8.
One in Winterfell and the other in King's Landing, which was filmed mostly in Belfast's
Titanic Studio and in Dubrovnik.
You can check out the king's Landing set photos from the links in the description below.
In my season 8 set photos videos, you can see that David and Dan and David Nutter were
present at the set of King's Landing.
We know only 3 directors are directing season 8.
David Nutter is directing episodes 1,2 and 4 and D&D are directing the last episode of
this series aka the 6th episode.
We have heard rumors that the final battle will be filmed in KL.
Which might just be a rumor.
It's hard to tell if there's any truth to it or not.
As I had discussed in my Winterfell Updates video.
I think WF will burn down in either episode 3 or episode 5.
It would explain why the final battle will take place in King's Landing.
The set at Titanic studio is one of the BIGGEST set EVER built in Game of Thrones history
and it took them more than half a year to finish it.
This set now shows a gate and the multiple city streets of King's Landing, which means
we will probably get to see some kind of fighting on the streets too.
The fighting in the street means KL will be attacked in season 8, unless there are riots
in the city which I highly doubt will happen.
They won't go to the trouble of building such a huge set only for riots.
Another proof that King's Landing will be attacked and breached is that, you can see
from the pictures, GOT Crew had built a breach through the walls of KL.
Later, they covered it up with a red Gate to film the events leading up to the breach.
The breach might happen on the gates closest to the Red keep i.e. the Iron or the Dragon
Gate.
There might be dragons involved in this attack too.
As you can see, they are building upto the roof, including elaborate roof tilings, which
means there will be aerial shots involved, which points towards dragons.
Why else would they need such a detailed roof tiling?
Also there had been controlled fire tests conducted at Titanic studio.
It could have been for the WF set only, or maybe there will be fire in KL too.
Hopefully this fire will be Drogon attacking the city and not Viserion or the Wildfire.
I wonder if the fire will be green, red or blue?
In the beginning of April, WOTW also posted a video of a device being tested.
It was a modified version of the scorpion Bronn had used in the spoils of War.
He was able to hurt Drogon with it.
I am really sure that Cersei will have qyburn make more scorpions to be ready for an attack
from the dragons.
At this point, I don't see how Jon or Dany could attack Cersei if they already have to
face the threat of the WWs.
In fact it's the opposite of that.
As I've mentioned in my Season 8 Q&A video, I think they might work together to fight
the Whitewalkers.
Maybe King's Landing's walls will be burned down by Viserion's flames and we might get
to watch a Drogon vs. Viserion fight..
Maybe Dany and the Night King will fight in the air too?
The other possibility is that Jon & Dany will defeat the NK first and THEN will move to
attack KL.
What do you think?
A dome was also spotted at this KL set.
It could be anything but I have a feeling that we might get a look at the Old Dragonpit
in Bran's visions before it was destroyed during the Dance of Dragons.
Speaking of Dragonpit, let's discuss the Dragonpit Updates now.
In season 7, we got our first look at the dragonpit when Cersei held a meeting there
with Jon & Dany.
WOTW had posted in March that the Dragonpit will return for season 8.
Italica's amphitheatre will be closed off for the public during the filming.
The filming will begin on April 23rd & will continue until May 19.
The site will remain closed till May 28.
That's almost a whole month's shooting.
What will happen in the Dragonpit?
You might say there will be a battle or a wedding scene in the dragonpit but according
to WOTW, there has been no call for extras at that place and the filming here will take
4 times longer time than it did last year.
So there might be a long scene with mostly the main characters.
In season 7, we saw that a platform was built in the middle of the Dragonpit and was used
for the parlay.
Now they are building the same platform again in Italica.
In my season 8 set photos video, you can see that Jon, Dany and Tyrion will go to KL and
Jon will be surrounded by Cersei's King's Guard.
Maybe Cersei will capture Jon and will conduct another meeting with Dany to discuss the terms
of her surrender?
Or maybe Jon, Dany and Tyrion will go to Cersei to ask for Cersei's help again?
My Jolly Sailor Bold had asked, "What do you think about the Dragonpit S8 news?
Can there be the ending scene?
And what ending scene will be there?
A Targaryen marriage or a funeral?"
That's a very good question.
If Jon & Dany get married at WF, I don't think there will be any wedding in the dragonpit.
But if they didn' get married at WF and IF, somehow, they were able to defeat the
WWs and Cersei, we might get to see a Targaryen wedding there, but I don't think that will
happen.
I like Dragongirl 15's idea more, that Cersei and Euron will get married in the throne room
and at the same time, Jon & Dany will get married in WF.
It will be a beautiful scene.
But I think a funeral is a more likely thing to happen here than a wedding.
Maybe the platform and everything will be destroyed during the battle at KL, and they
will bury/burn one or both dragons at the dragonpit.
It seems fitting since 5 dragons had died during the Dance of Dragons, and as Dany had
said in season 7, "This place was the beginning of the end for my family."
If the Targaryens hadn't locked away their dragons, they wouldn't have grown smaller
and died away, and House Targaryen would have remained a formidable house.
This place led to the fall of the dragons.
And I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to put the bodies of the dragons there too.
Besides, it will be large enough to easily house 2 dragon bodies in there.
So, that's all for the KL & DP updates.
What do you think will happen in season 8?
Lemme know in the comments.
Anyways, it's time for the comment shoutout now.
Todays comment shoutout goes to MadamPluto, who said, "My prediction: Everybody dies
and the Night King takes over.
The End."
I like this theory too.
I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
Have you heard about the "Mistborn" Series?
It's cover said, "What if the Dark Lord won?"
And the second I saw it, the image of the NK winning popped into my head.
If the NK won, the world will become a cold dark place, kinda like the world in the Mistborn
series with ash falling from the skies and the red sun etc.
If you haven't read this book, I highly recommend it.
So, what do you think of these theories, don't forget to tell us in the comments.
