@discountplaguedoctor88 6 лет назад

@skynyrdjesus 3 года назад

You're missing the most important part of the Targaryens entirely. More than fire, more than dragons, more than incest and more than marriage, the Targaryens embody being absolutely unwilling to change, adapt, or compromise their ambition and views, for good or bad. Their blood has an almost mythical quality to it because they've reinforced that idea their entire reign. Their predisposition to madness or greatness is a really dumb theme in the series because every third or every other character is batshit insane, it's just how the people in this story are. The only difference in the Targaryens is they're incredibly prominent as the ruling class of Westeros, and they commit to their insane ideologies like cult leaders. They're unwilling to move on from having dragons and adapting to the times that they take up wildfire as the closest replacement, they keep trying to resurrect dragons in ways that lead to them dying, and the only reason Dany is remarkable and not just another Targaryen that burned to death with some dragon eggs is it just happened to finally work. It took them 200 years to come up bring Dorne into the fold because it didn't occur to them to try banging the hedonistic people in the south that sleep with anything they can, that might work because burning them into submission keeps failing. And they only thought of that because all the dragons died. Rhaegar abducted and married a child because he was obsessed with prophecy, even though he knew the consequences. Dany wants to be queen of Westeros, a place she has never been on the other side of the world, because she was raised learning its the Targaryen birthright, and she is basically incapable of dealing with anyone who disagrees with her with anything but violence. Even Maester Aemon, the most reasonable Targaryen we meet, is unwilling to compromise his decision to join the Watch, even though it was voluntary, he is free to leave, and he never actually took the oath, he's a maester not a black brother, even though he knew Aerys was in desperate need of guidance and Aemon could've prevented his descent into madness. Targaryens are stubborn, unbending beasts who can't be reasoned with any more than a dragon can, and that's why they die young and bloody. The Targaryens being the shortest lived major house in the history of Westeros isn't an accident, even if the context is often lost. Their only competition are the Baratheons, a branch family of the Targaryen house, and they both die off in 300 years while the Starks, Lannisters, Martells, Tyrells and even houses like the Boltons and Daynes have histories that stretch back thousands of years. Those who don't adapt, die.

Uhm i dont think so, they literally adapted to the culture of Westores. In the Old Valyria banner werent a thing only in Westeros so they created their one. They had practiced a different religion but decided to convert to the Seven Faith. The only tradition that they kept was incest which was because they thought it was to connect them to the dragons and few times it was out of love. They founded and Unified the Seven Kingdom, sure some of them made mistake and stuff and im not saying their pure innocent creatures but they could just made it a colony and force the Seven Kingdom to learn their tradition but they conquered,learn their language and actually adapted the culture.

What the walkers want is to end life, all life, and bring the Long Night that never ends. That's all. As Robert Baratheon was worried about 1 army with one purpose being a great threat from the Dothraki, the problem the Others and their army pose is exponentially worse.

@ms_scribbles 6 лет назад

"Half the Targaryens went mad, didn't they?" --Cersei Erm....no. At most, three kings went crazy, and one of them only really had the madness of too-intense religious fervor, and the worst he did was imprison his sisters to "protect" them from the desires of men. The only ones who had a vicious insanity that slaughtered people because they could were Maegor the Cruel and the Mad King. There are a few minor Targaryens that were a bit touched in the head, but most of them ended up doing more damage to themselves than anyone else, like Aerion Brightflame who was loony enough to drink wildfire, thinking it would make him a dragon. The rest of the destructive force of the Targaryens have been no more or less mad than any other noble family of Westeros. So really, the madness of the house has been exaggerated by other characters, both in the show and in the books.

Yes, the progression was done in haste. But assuming it was done properly, it could have been another great character arc of Daenerys that even someone like her who stood for justice and nobility is corruptible through power and war.

@gfilmer7150 3 года назад

In the books it’ll be more built up. Also, Cersei might die at the end of the sixth book. There’s a character in the books named Aegon VI “Young Griff” Targaryen who is invading Westeros with The Golden Company. He’s Rhaegar’s son (the one everybody thought The Mountain killed) and will probably become King. Dany will eventually roll up and because he has a stronger claim than her and Jon, will have the most support.

@@karimafouad5137 Book Two has a lot of changes from page to screen. Some characters are more in depth and more interesting because you see their thoughts, others aren’t. Stannis is made as a villainous character in book two but then he becomes far more likable in later books. Book Three has changes, which is expected seeing as they stretched it out to two Seasons (3&4). Book four was kind of adapted and stretched into Seasons 5&6 (kind of). Book Five was barely even adapted, a lot of changes from page to screen in regards to Book Five (my favorite in the series). Expect some changes at first then expect a completely different story.

@goldenclown4435 5 лет назад

I like how Daenerys dragons are the only ones to awaken with fire and blood. In the novel, Fire and Blood (based on the Targaryen dynasty) most if not all of the dragons are placed in the cradle of a newborn Targaryen and usually end up hatching, symboling power and life and not death and destruction.

@MIHIRSK-lm6qf Год назад

What are you trynna say?

@thedifferent14 7 лет назад

You know what the craziest thing is? Daenerys is criticized for her "cruelty" when there are characters in Westeros who have thrived on using brutality that everyone else loves. Tywin Lannister was responsible for some of the worst atrocities in Westeros: the reigns of Castamere, Robb Stark's murder, and the raid of the Riverlands all the while loving his family's image more than his actual family and yet he's one of the most beloved characters in the show. Cersei sends servant girls to be tortured in experiments, frames the Tyrells because she thought Margery was "stealing" Tommen and made it painfully clear to Tyrion that she doesn't give a hoot about the common people. She calls them "filthy urchins" in season 3 and shuts out refugees coming to the city because of her son's war in season 2 saying they "didn't belong in the capital". Not to mention she blew up a holy chapel. Yet people love Cersei's character. And both of them justified it for making their own houses great with insanity nowhere in sight. But when Daenerys conquers slave cities to free people from being treated like property and makes violent decisions on their behalf it's taken as madness. So what is it? Daenerys is only sane if she's nonviolent? Is Daenerys the only one not allowed to be ruthless? Or is violence only okay if it works out for everyone in the end like Tywin's endeavors?

@Marlynoux 7 лет назад

I think the difference is that Tywin and Cersei never claim to be someting they're not. They know they are evil and basically don't care that they are. But Daenerys was kind of a symbol of purity and good (as good as you can be on this show) like Jon Snow, but as the series progress she is becoming more and more dark and power hungry. I think that's the difference.

@aries7695 7 лет назад

I think because Dany resorts to more violent actions but is also rash because she is young. I give her a pass because of the shit she's been through. She sees people who have basically suffered like her and basically wants an "eye for eye" type of justice and to be fair it is the type of justice some people to this day still want. Dany wants to bring peace to Westeros because she does know what is going on there; wars, rapes, injustice, etc. People back her because she does want the best but needs good advisers to guide her. Her biggest problem now though is she doesn't have a good war council... that person would have been Barristan Selmy or Jorah. If she had them with her quite possibly her plans would have gone much better. Her people want her on the throne but they don't want her to fall like the Mad King. This is why someone like Jon and Tyrion are good people for her to talk to. They advise her to do the right thing but when the right thing can't overcome the problem at hand, Dany has to be willing to make hard choices otherwise you'll come off as soft to your enemies. If your enemies know you're soft they will exploit it, example being House Reyne and Tarbeck. They did not respect their Lord, Tytos Lannister and basically walked all over him. They wouldn't even give the money back they owed. Had it not been for Tywin, House Lannister could have been lost. Tywin showed people why he should not be messed with and people respected him for it. If you are leader and are shown as weak (Even in the real world) people will lose respect for you. Here is also another example and I am going to use it. Ned Stark executed a man for deserting his post in the beginning of Game of Thrones. The guy who died made a vow to defend the wall. Ned is honorable, yes, and did his duty. However, what if Ned was like "Oh you can go, I won't kill you," next thing you know everyone on the wall abandons their post and Ned is being laughed at by everyone. No one would respect him.

@jal7852 7 лет назад

Kaya N. I think that it is just because Jon hates killing and usually shows some kind of remorse for it. Dany is compassionate and would make a much better leader than Cersei of course, but she is walking a very thin line. It does seem that Dany is taking an interest in Jon in the more recent episodes, but how will she react to the info that Jon has a stronger claim to the throne than she does?

I always thought the Targaryen words “Fire and Blood” had a double meaning more than just death and carnage vs life and warmth. Fire and blood are literally the two things they need to hatch dragons (In Dany’s case, three blood sacrifices through Drogo, Rhaego, and Miri Maz Duur, and a really big fire beneath the red comet in exchange for her three children). It’s not just a warning of what happens to their enemies, it’s a reminder of what makes their power: dragons.

"Burn them all" meant to be burn the white walker as the three eye revan intended but constantly telling the madking in his head to burn them all, the madking made a conclusion that he should burn them all, all the people so the voice inside his head would stop. For example: hodor, when Bran was inside his head and then later back to his dream of his father as a boy.. The girl scream " hold the door" which change the future of hodor because hodor past was messed up by Bran's mistake.

I always thought of Aegon being a mixture of Alfred the Great, a mythical kind who united the kingdoms of England, and William the Conqueror, a foreign invader with a powerful force that established England as we know it and had a bloodline (though not all from the Norman House) that sat on the throne for centuries. If I'm not mistaken, House Plantagenet is a cadet branch of William's descendants... which would make for an interesting twist if the Starks and Lannisters had Targaryen blood in them.

@Cersei Lannister Quick question, who're your top 5 picks for king/queen from the current books series? (meaning Robert and everybody after him)

@gfilmer7150 4 года назад

@Cersei Lannister This comes from personal preference 1. Stannis Baratheon 2. Robb Stark 3. Daenerys Targaryen 4. FAegon 5. Jon Snow Stannis has the claim and is a great commander, he'll break before he bends. Robb because he was young showed promise and a leader (but being king was his downfall) and he was on a revenge mission, I can always get behind that. Daenerys because she's like Alexander The Great when he went East freed those who were enslaved and conquered by The Persians. FAegon because he's going up against Cersei's 70,000 with only 10,000 but also has the most resourceful people around him, he's an underdog in a way. Jon, in a lot of ways is a lot like Robb but Jon is better at inspiring people to follow him.

It's amazing how well-thought-out the detail of Game of Thrones is.

@marcelinauy9037 7 лет назад

Dany and Jon are by far my favorite characters. I love their character developments. I do hope that they would both revive the House of Targaryens to preserve the blood of the dragon.

@31webseries 6 лет назад

I think they may have already done that. Jon was certainly going to give it his best try anyway.

In the books, The Red Dragon of House Targaryen might not be restored. At the moment, The Black Dragon of House Blackfyre is fighting a brutal war in The Stormlands against The Lannisters with The Golden Company.

@allanisystrauss8914 4 года назад

If anyone has read the books, there is an amazing dialogue between Tyrion and Varys that truly captures the message of power from this video. They end up concluding that power is a "shadow on the wall", as its essence is the way people perceive leaders, and not the actions of the leaders themselves (anyway, this was my interpretation from something I read a couple of years ago)...

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how the pride of Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken combined with a thirst for vengeance brought down house Martell. As well as the possible stagnation that occurred within the house as seen in Doran.
