Battle Above The God's Eye (Dance Of The Dragons) Game Of Thrones History & Lore 

HBO better not screw this up. This has the potential to be one of the greatest scenes in TV history Edit: Now after seeing what they did with Blood and Cheese I have my reservations

It is just so poetic to me that Aemond was found strapped to Visenya’s Dragon with her sword driven through his face

Damon's death is literally the best death in all of GOT the show better do it justice.

The problem between Aemond and Daemon in this battle was that Daemon knew he would die which is why he was ok with leeping from one dragon to another to slay Aemond, who was expecting to come out of this battle alive because of the two previous engagements he had with Rhaeneys and Lucerys. He was way too confident that he would come out on top.

If Daemon really died, he truly chose the most badass way to go.

Daemon battle IQ was so far ahead of Aemonds used Speed, the Sun, and the Blind Spot to his advantage. Also killing him with the sword a few sweet moments of victory before his death. I think Daemon went in knowing he was a dead man so he was going to take Aemond with him. Aemond was arrogant enough to think it was going to be a easy win when it wasn’t

6 men or 60.....he is still Daemon Targaryan. Shows how much people respect him Can't wait to see all these in the show, even though I know what happens I think I'll still shed a tear or two😪 All these deaths for that damned Iron Throne

HBO will be damned to the seventh hell if they fuck up this fight. Everything has to be absolutely perfect, the grand cinematography of the dragons in the sunset above the lake and the moment they hit the water, the epic score foreboding the ominous end of all four combatants, and that final kill of Daemon skewering Aemond right through his blind eye. It'll be the greatest duel in all GOT since Cleganebowl or Oberyn vs Gregor.

The sheer kamikaze audacity of Caraxes. He doesn't get enough credit. Ofcourse, Daemon had the most dragon knowledge among everyone else during that period. He spent a long time alongside Vhagar, saw him growing up, then flew alongside with Laena. He always had a plan and chose Caraxes for a reason. Caraxes may have been born deformed but that deformity gave him powers (other than the deviated septum making cute noises). Extra wings allowed more agility and faster flight with a serpentine long body. This guy knew it meant death to go against Vhagar but did it anyway. Burying his entire jaw against her throat and having her in a chokehold, even while getting his own belly and wing torn. What a brave, absolutely diabolical dragon.

"On that much we agree." Y'know Daemon certainly wasn't a good guy, but I think age wizened him and made him realize the many follies of his life. I really hope the show goes far enough in showing how he develops as a character throughout his life

I think it would be cool If daemon survives the fall gets out of the lake and lay beside Caraxes laughing one last time before he dies with his most trusted friend

Daemon was such a mad lad

I know alot of people want Daemon to actually survive this battle but honestly it's better that he dies it makes his final act seem more heroic and would be better than somehow surviving the fall and just living his life in peace

One doesn't need to be a genius to know this was a suicide mission by Daemon. He purposefully didn't saddle himself to Caraxes. Aemond was proud and overconfident, he expected to survive, that's why he saddled himself to Vhagar. When Vhagar clawed Caraxes belly open, Daemon would have known he was surely done, but he was never going to let Aemond live. I see this as a victory for Daemon, because he achieved his goal by removing Aemond from the equation. Aemond was a mad dog, causing mayhem wherever he went.

I am awaiting for this scene in the series. Though the first I watched this Battle, I was with the Greens, then, with Aemon One eye because he was Vhagar's rider. But since the House of the Dragon started, I am now with the Blacks, hence, with the Rogue Prince Daemon.

“You have lived too long uncle” “On the much, we agree” Just iconic and will be even more so in the future

These dragons were once the best of friends, flying and dancing together for decades and then they killed each other. I wonder what they were thinking?

Vhagar is great and all but caraxes is legendary. Fierce,blood red,mutant,serpentine,had wings on his legs and as wild and dangerous as his rider. While vhagar is ummm...big RIP caraxes.

I have to say, as unlikely as it is, I want to believe that Daemon survived. Then went to the Vale to find Nettles and live his remaining days with her.

I find rhaenyra's order to kill nettles to be a bit odd, she knew who her husband was so why was she so angry. I can't wait to see audience take on this when the show airs

They better not add anything extra either. I don't want to see Daemon toss a handful of dirt into Aemond's eye when he gets close enough. This would be another "someone did this to Aemond" moment, something I'm already getting tired of.

Man can’t wait to see this play out in the show hopefully it just as epic. It’s going to be a sad day because I’m really come to like Daemon alot by listening to your videos. I wonder what would of happen if Deamon survived he would easy help take down the greens.

I see many would want to see Daemon survive this and have a happy ending. But this is not a fairy tale. And that is why we love the asoiaf books. Yes I'm sad he's dead. But that's the most badass death ever. And he's right. There is a time for everyone. And Daemon correctly guessed that his time was at an end. No need to cry about it. He went with a bang. Makes for a much better story imo.

Damon was a straight badass

The on that we agree line after aemond tells him he's lived to long is straight fire!!

Well done video

This will make a great TV episode if they can get it right...

I can’t wait to watch this 😩😩 might be THEE BEST SCENE OF THE DANCE OF DRAGONS !!!

Part of me really really hopes Daemon actually survives and juat goes off with Nettles and never returns. Would be bittersweet

What always bothered me is that though Daemon managed to remove the greens greatest asset in Aemond/Vhagar he in favor got rid of the blacks greatest asset by killing himself/Caraxes. With his death, Rhaenyra’s death was now only certain. Personally if I were Daemon, I would’ve told Rhaenyra to kick rocks and not send Nettles away keeping to the original plan of hunting down Aemond together.

This will be the battle that will melt every face that witnesses

I can't wait to see this be adapting in the final season I can't wait to are Daemons arc and all his funny ass insults to the kids

I can’t wait to see this !! I hope it’s as epic on TV as it is in the book.

I cannot wait to watch this in live action. It’s going to be amazing.

The show better have this!

this the scene I can't wait to see. I hope they show if he survived.

In a word - poetic! 🔥

Crucial!

I hope the fight starts off with some nice sword play before they take to the skies

Regardless of how you feel about Aemond telling the rogue prince you have lived too long takes balls of steel.

Rest in peace, Granny Vhagar 😥

I'm so torn part me thing that best way for daemon to go but I also like the idea he was just so done with all this he just finally lived a quite life after this

It’ll be a long time before we see this battle. Probably the final season

Hugh and ulf should have been assigned to hunt aemond, daemon and nettles should have been the ones to attack daeron and the Hightower army

I wonder what happened to Alys Rivers & her child after the war

If aegon was able to survive the fall with three dragons colliding, is burned and on land deamon could definitely survive this.

Hot d needs to adept this word for word this is by far the best

Matt Smith is going to tear up this scene as Mcdaddy Daemon 🤩. It’s going to be glorious! They better be on their A game for this scene.

Daemon is “Mr. get shit done!”

The thing that I do love about Vhagars death in this battle is this: To me Vhagar symbolizes House Targaryen's Power of Dragons. She is the only one of Aegon I the Conqueror's original 3 dragons and almost the size Belarion was during the conquest and currently the largest dragon alive. With her death it hinted that the era of House Targaryen's dragon power is ending. After this the next two events resulted in many Dragon deaths: Storming of the Dragonpit (Dreamfyre, Syrax, Tyraxes, Morghul, Shyrkos) and the second Battle of Tumbleton (Vermithor, Tessarion and Seasmoke) and eventually Sunfyre died.

Kinda crazy that Aemond was found on Visenya’s dragon with her sword in his skull. What’s even crazier is GRRM probably didn’t even do that intentionally the history is just that rich and descriptive these things come up.

I hope to God that they're not going to make Dameon survive...

In the Show is repeated and showed many times Daemon abandoning Rhaenyra, so i wouldn't be surprised if they gonna adapt him actually living and run away with Nettles.

I think daemon wanted to personally take aemonds eye because of what he did to his step son's eyes.

This is going to one of the only TV sequences to be more epic than the Levi Vs Beast titan in Attack on Titan. I have a feeling Daemon will survive and meet with Nettles.

I believe Daemon survived!

EPISODE 10 baby!

This better be the one scene they let play out exactly how it did in the books. It to epic of an opportunity. Final episode of season 3 probably

Did Vaegar wash up on shore?

What if he washed up on the isle of faces… wouldn’t that be some shit. It’s no implausible

This is one of the best readings of it.

I’m honestly curious why so many people are cool w/ Daemon abandoning his wife & kids for a side piece & actually wanting him to survive this for a happily ever after w/ her while literally his entire family is basically slaughtered & his poor only surviving son is sitting on the throne known as Aegon the Broken?! It’s so weird & I’m so curious how the show is going to actually write these characters b/c if they end up trying to write it as Nettles being the “home wrecker” after they’ve clearly established in season 1 that all Daemon ever wanted was to be by his brothers side to serve as his hand and restore House Targaryen to its proper glory only to have him abandon that in the middle of the war he was paramount in starting (especially after the clear distinction between his views & Rhaenyra’s views in the season finale before Luke’s death which is clearly different from the books) for a dragon seed side piece while his children are dying and his wife & queen (that he literally pined away for for over a decade & then finally gets her & marries her the way he wanted in the way of old Valyria) is falling apart it will not play well on screen for the audience at all. Not with everything they’ve established on the show in season 1. And they showed him having sex w/ Mysaria in ep1 but even then he “couldn’t finish” & he hasn’t been w/ her since. I know a lot of my fellow book readers want to keep referring to show Daemon as the same unfaithful book Daemon but the show runners have clearly established a character that was faithful to Laena & is faithful to Rhaenyra. It hasn’t shown him to be someone going around whoring about with women & even clearly having an impotence issue so I honestly don’t see them suddenly having him starting up a sexual relationship with Mysaria again. Also, people will just end up hating Nettles if she comes in & it’s like she takes him away from Rhaenyra & his kids & I don’t want that b/c she is so awesome. I’d honestly love it if she ends up being more of a daughter to both Daemon & Rhaenyra & sister to their kids. Like they kind of just adopt her & take her in as one of their own. And that she never even travels alone with Daemon but others are with them on dragons when they are together. I think we’ve already seen that the show is staying pretty true to the source material while also showing us that it was definitely told from perspectives that knew the outcomes but had no idea of the actual truthful events that took place. I really hope they know the story they want to tell & they really do know what they are doing because I did enjoy season 1 & I very much want to come back to an epic season 2 that I won’t end up hating. Hopefully they know the story that will play well on screen to the audience & they will continue to write these characters so well that we’ll keep coming back for more. I honestly cannot wait for Cregan Stark!

The last Agni Kai of Westeros

are we getting this this season ? I hope so even though they cut 2 episodes

None call killed daemon in battle except himself the rouge prince

I bet me and my dragon Hyperion the Golden Sun can beat both Vhagar and Caraxes. And is more beautiful than Sunfyre. I can not wait to see this fight around season 4 of HOD

Daemon lived watch out gonna be on the show

Honestly I'm a Green supporter. I love the Blacks, but I was always more of a Green fan. Though I am torn cause of my love for the Velaryons.

I wonder if Daemon did survive.

I will cry if my rough prince die😭😭😭

welp this is season 3 of HOD 🤣

Daemon livesssss

Daemon Survive👍

He'd better be dead,just imagine if he's alive: of all the characters in the story, daemon got the Disney ending,living happily ever after with his sidechick,what a shame.bruh..

So, how did they retrieve Dark Sister? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="560">9:20</a>

Daemon Targaryen is just a baaaaaad Man!! But he's also a great leader! who could rally cowards to fight. He is definitely someone you want fighting for you because when the 💩💩💩 goes down ya betta be ready!!!

Where do you think nettles went?

Aemond might've died but he was strong enough that Daemon knew he wouldn't make it out alive after a fight with Aemond. So, he sacrificed himself in order to give the blacks an upperhand that Aemond Targaryen and Vhaegar were dead.

Daemon was a ducking warrior

I mean clearly nettles was nearby to jump onto her dragon right?

Darksister better shatter his sapphire eye it’s Valyrian steel after all.

For some reason I am on Aemond side

Imagine if in the show they make it so Damon goes off with Nettles. Like a quick little glance of him with her or something like that...

....does Daemon become the first three-eyed raven in the God's woods given his body was never found... this is my hope.

I don't want to see dragons die! the humans are whatever I only care about the dragons.

All I can take from this is that Caraxes won, Nettles came down with her dragon took Daemon as they fled into exile

Everyone might love the bastard rogue prince but i only wish that he got stamp from his own dragon.

I just know the black faction fans will still find a way to support rhaenyra and finally start hating on daemon for this…

Daemon gets a lot of credit for what is convincingly a draw.

jesus

I'm sure Daemon survived. Since his body is missing in the book, this gives a perfect twist opportunity for the show. I can see it happening, last scene of the finale: Daemon as an old man with a pregnant Nettles in a small village or a cave and Sheepstealer is sleeping near them.

Daemon told Nettle to wait for him in Volantis after the battle. Like GRRM said before; Daemon existed for a purpose. My opinion his purpose only to give Rhaenyra; younger Aegon and Viserys II. We all know, (Viserys II) will carry that family line all the way to Jon Snow and Daenerys. The Aegon’s prophecy (prince and princes united all kingdoms against the Night king)

People act as if this fight was a "victory" in a way that they interpret it. It was a loss for both sides, all 4 combatants died. As for the Dragons themselves? I mean, technically Vhagar still annihilated Caraxes in that fight... I'd say Vhagar won her duel with Caraxes. Vhagar isn't the one who got her wing ripped off and chest area torn apart. Whether Caraxes lived for an extra 5 minutes or not seems moot. As for tactics: Daemon had to resort to suicide in order to take Aemond down with him, so that shows how much of a threat Aemond and Vhagar were. Still, a tragic loss for House Targaryen either way

Henry Cavil should've been Daemon Targaryen

Aemond is better he did't die alone, there is a cost to kill him

I fucking hate Daemon but fair play to him he killed our best Dragon and fighter

AEMOND IS THE MOST BADASS CHARACTER IN THE BOOKS
