​@@patrickchristiansen1758 That's true, but if that were the case, we'd still have been waiting, and if Martin's version still had the 'Mad Dragon Queen' ending, the story would have been less well liked and there is a good chance no corporation would elect to spend millions on a high budget Television series. So we may very well have never seen this amazing show. We can thank D&D for this much, though unfortunately they were simply too ignorant of the real Medieval world (on which the GOT world is based), to write an intelligent story after Martin's writing stopped. They're basically just your average Hollywood writers thrust into undeserved greatness on the talents of an extraordinary writer, who will ultimately (I believe) will lose much of his popularity by the time the story is finished by the choices he will probably make.

The way Aegon's described gives big Rhaegar vibes. "Skilled warrior, but took no joy in it ... Commanding presence, yet few close friends." Plus the way he was willing to ascribe to Westerosi culture and customs, leaving his ego at home, it really does feel like both of them were being driven by something more important than personal interests. Aegon's prophecy from HOTD fits the story really well.

The only real fuck up he did was made during his last years after losing his wife and most of his sons. Instead of making the daughter of his oldest son who was married to a Velaryon (Corlys if I'm not mistaken) and pregnant his heir chose one of his younger son's son all of this led to the famous Dance of Dragons with the Targeryan being split into two sides, both with dragons.

Roberts Rebellion has already been ruled out. They say Dunc and Egg is the front runner for the spinoff. The story of Duncan the Tall and Eygon (or Aegon) the 5th I believe. There are so many things they can go into, from Roberts rebellion 17 years ago to Valeryia 8,000 years ago to unknown and mysterious aspects of the universe that are still rich in lore like Ashia in the Shadow.

An important thing to remember is Grrm didn't knew all this when writing the first book. He knew where he wanted the story to go, he knew all important houses, he knew important plot points but not everything we now know. He learned these things while he was writing a chapter and imagined a tiny history detail that would suit the scene or foreshadow something. I think people often forget how little a worldbuilding is done before writing the story compared to how much there is in the final draft.

@Jack-kn1mr
@Jack-kn1mr 5 лет назад
And yet even after her losses she's still only interesting when she's naked. WAIT hear me out on this I have a reason that isn't muh male anatomy. There are two interesting things about Danny's story line. First is the psychology of just wanting a home but being forced to continue forward by expectations of others and legacy.In the books it's heavily hinted at that she would be much happier throwing away her crown and living as a (very rich) woman with Dario. For evidence look at how often the symbolism of the house with the red door comes up and what it represents. you add in the fact that she's only 13-16 throughout the events also add some questions of agency to the mix how many of Danny's decisions are her own and how many are the results of pressure from those around her? If left to her own devices what would she do? After seeing the cluster that was Season 7, I don't really trust D&D to handle something like that without Dany becoming a screaming angsty teenager crying to the camera about her feelings in long dragon themed monologues. That leaves the second interesting thing about Danny, and that is that she serves as the gate way to the fantastic. Think about the portions of the Show that takes place in Westeros, its a well written character drama set in an analog to medieval England. Ok that's cool, now what do we see in the Danny portions? We see these crazy exotic cities, we see horse lords and warlocks and harpies. Show Danny isn't really interesting because of Danny but instead because of the things that are happening around her. When Danny is on screen that's the reminder that I'm watching a Fantasy show, and the scenes that best incapacitate this idea are her rebirth i.e the scenes when all her clothes are burned off and she's left naked as the day she was born. The books do this too, but it's just not the same as actually seeing it, ya know?

Angel Gutierrez The books? Prince Doran Martell of Dorne had three children -- Arianne, Quentyn, and Trystane. Arianne -- the eldest child and heir; she planned to raise Myrcella (who was at Dorne, bethroted to Trystane) as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, using the law of Dornish inheritance as justification, with the help of her close confidants and without her father's knowledge. Eventually, the plot was bestrayed --- Myrcella was almost killed, Ser Arys (the kingsguard knight who went to Dorne with Myrcella to protect her) was slain, her friends exiled, and Arianne chastened. Later, Prince Doran confided her his plan to bring down House Lannister, avenge Elia, and destroy the enemies of House Martell. She was currently on way to Storm's End to treat with Jon Connington and the Golden Company.

Another difference between Aegon and Dany: Aegon had two sisters, who were able to control their own dragons. They could attack separately, in different places, etc. Dany can't do that, because she controls only Drogon, and the other follows him (well, at least until Jon's Targ side is revealed). So Dany can't make a strategy about her dragons, can not divide them: one goes with Yara and Theon, the other with the Sandsnakes, etc. It is a huge disadvantage.

worry not, dany managed to circumvent that problem. she lost one against the night king and another against euron who did a 360 no scope from 5000 miles away with his scorpion. if euron had been close enough to shoot that like a normal person dany would´ve seen him, because she was paying close attention since she definately didn´t forget about the iron fleet she was reminded about a few minutes earlier

It is pretty tragic, in a sense.

And there is something about her being warned not to return, and coming back just to be shot out of the sky.

Well... if it's justified, you can't really be saying he uploads "too" few vids. We're all sad that he can't upload more than he does, but if he can't, he can't.

I love the threat Visenya makes to the Arryns, especially Sharra. "Reject our demands or your little son is landing ahead of us at a destination of my choosing... like a nice, hard rock or deep ravine." Pretty hard to argue against someone when she has your only child in her custody and your child is all excited about the big dragon. But he did get that promised ride and the Vale wasn't covered in fire and blood, so I guess they got off easy.

DoubleO88 Aegon was actually a great warrior. But he just preferred to riding his dragon more to sword fighting. His blackfyre sword is a legend.

Dane Mitch Not as legendary as his dragon though. Balerion the Black Dread was the biggest dragon ever seen in Westeros and its fire can burn every single thing. Aegon could go quite far but without dragons, he would never be king of Westeros.

​@@noahmay7708 no there can be politics , war visuals, epic battles, epic lines and tension. The epic music when aegon is crowned king officially and the reactions of westeros. If they make series on this i would love to see the changes in westerosi society before and after.

@LeadFaun well "villain" is pretty black and white while the books mostly deal with grey characters, so she is no twisting moustache villain more like "you want to be a conqueror so you have to do evil things" villain, but she is definetly set up as some kind of antagonist to some of the westerosi POV characters

@@tommerker8063 It's a portrayal of modern terrorism. There's propaganda spread about her in the west, parents frighten children with stories of her family and their dragons and exaggerate the details of her families wrongdoings all the while leaving out the details of how her people were treated and the history that doesn't skew in their favor.

@@platio101 The fifth book, a dance with dragons. After she flew on Drogon's back for the first time he took her unwillingly to its secret lair in the grass sea where she was stranded for days. She decided to set out to look for a river while all she had was a stinking little stream of water, which prompted her floodgate of diarrhea. The Dothraki found her just like that, lol
