House of the Dragon 2x04 | Rhaenys Death Scene 

If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

​@JohnnyRico118 it ends with baby aegon as king! Very happy. Just ignore how traumatized and depressed he was

Do you mean rhaenyras son she has with daemon.​@@brendanmuller7301

I hate it too. I feel like dragons develop certain bonds with their owners. Anyone who has a pet can feel that bond. That's why it sucks to watch dragons die.

​@@kenzieguo2742 they're fairy tale creatures it sucks sure but don't think too deeply about it lol it's just a tv show 😅 Theres gonna be alot more of them dying

Vhagar and Meleys were also the dragons of Viserys and Daemon's parents. They would have rode through the skies many times together only for Vhagar to eventually kill Meleys.

Woooowwwwwwww didn’t even thought of that

@@purpledragons1146 Oh my God yesss and the dragons of partners are known to be incredibly close!

Vhagar is also technically the grandmother of Meleys, though the dragon family tree isn’t consistent in the one I found Meleys is descended from Vhagar

​@@Jrr592Damnnn. If that is true, then not only the Dragonrider, the dragon herself is also a kinslayer too.

Can't leave, she was sent to protect the castle. Although meleys can't kill vhagar, she is capable of fleeing from vhagar if needed. She died because vhagar's rider happened to be smarter.

She chose to oversee things, its like maturity vs young angst.. how those two brothers shouted dracarys while she is like attack.. like im too old for this shit but shit have to get done.

@@krato6468 no spoilers but meleys could ez killed vhagar if not that ambush vhagar is not that strong honestly very old and fat because it is close to balerion age with was weak too in the end

​@@goldendiamond761don't believe and even less with Aemon tactics no chance for Rhaenys she gave all in and was able to damage Vhagar that can be slower but his resilience is insane

⁠@@goldendiamond761no she couldn’t or she would have done Vhagar like sun fire. That dragon is slow but she’s a tank. Meley’s was going to get killed once Vhagar got a hold of her.

HER size

@@jpwarrinerpogi do not misgender the great beast. It hurts her feelings

I can’t understand how she hides what that mountain size and suddenly appears 🤔

@@ibrHmjk well, theres s castle. Also if youve ever seen footage of aerial battles from ww2 it is incredibly difficult to keep track of anything moving on three axes

@@ibrHmjkThe castles are bigger than you think, in the books the walls of winterfell are described as like 100 feet tall, also it’s on the coast so he could also hide behind the cliffs of Dover.

What is Alyssa?

@@indiankid8601 first rider of meyles , second eldest daughter of king Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne. Wife of baelon the brave. Mother to king viserys and prince daemon, aunt of Princess Rhaenys and Queen Aemma Arryn. grandmother of queen rhaenyra, aegon ll helaena aemond daeron baela and rhaena, aegon lll and viserys ll, (she is also aegon lll and viserys ll great grandmother). Great grandmother to jacerys, lucerys, joffrey, young jaehaerys and jaehaera. Sorry i got a bit carried away, and because the targaryen family is so incestuous there's more but it's too confusing trust it's so confusing it's comical.

@@darkphoenix3347 so vhagar literally killed her sister dragon ? 🤔. They must have lived together when viscerys mom and dad were alive.

@@indiankid8601 yeah, caraxies who originally belonged to aemon targaryen older brother to alyssa, vhagar who belonged to baelon the brave and meyles who was alyssa's were best friends as far as dragons go. I believe that vhagar told meyles telepathically she's sorry but she has to do what aemond tells her to do. 😭😢. At least aemond is now a double kin slayer🤣 socks to be him.

@@darkphoenix3347rhaenys has been bonded with meleys for 40+ years longer than Alyssa. I think they have a deeper bond

At least she was glancing up, showing she was looking for Vhagar somewhere above

​@@raymondhsu6407 she is dumb that' s why. Should have been send to airforce academy to learn simple basics

Not the last Targaryen to make that mistake in this civil war unfortunately and worse is both of them(other two targeryens to make this mistake) were from rhenyera’s side

​@@arunsingla3452 i imagine they're trying to showcase Vhagar's combat experience with all these manouvers but it makes the other side look like freakin retards tbh. Luke i can understand, but Rhaenys? No man. Even the dragons themselves, can't they hear the other dragon's wings flap? And why tf do they all roar and scream all the time giving away their positions easily. Vhagar is the only one who doesn't. I guess that's why she's always able to surprise the others

This is what absolutely killed me about the fight scene. She carelessly flew low, not knowing where the largest dragon alive is, over the exact spot that she previously used to cover her approach. It was careless and it hurt that her character came to an end in such a way. Rhaenys was my favorite.

Well he didn't kill her wrongly 🤷🏼‍♂️. He fought as a warrior and she did too. Why would you hate a soldier for fighting a war?

He did dirty last season. This was fair fight

Dont worry about Aemond ;)

I didn't like Rhaenys at all.

​@@Nik-6675Do you like Aegon lmao Rhaenys is probably the kindest Targaryen on the show besides the kids. She's even kinder and more level-headed than Rhaenerya tends to be.

Two bastard children

He doesn't have a bastard son, he has two and one of them is soon going to become the owner of Seasmoke.

no its just bad writing

You mean while everyone was running lol. They showed him trampling some soldiers earlier just before the fact. I'm sure everyone was too preoccupied with not getting trampled to actually notice that.

Which is canon to her book counterpart. She knew she could flown away easily if she wanted (her dragon is said to be the fastest dragon in all alive dragons at the time) but decided to stay and do as much as damage as she could to the greens

I think she remembered the coronation and decided she wasn’t going to fly away again

Targaryens don’t back down. They fight and die a dragon riders death.

​@Vladievycs ya, I bet she felt like if she can end these 2 here than it will stop the destruction of house Targaryen.

Why didnt they send deamon and caraxes eith her and mybe wnther dragon ..3 dragons vs vegahar eould be enought to finish him

cry more

Aegon is worse, he’s straight up an unhinged man child who hasn’t the slightest ounce of competence or compassion. Look on the bright side, Aemond will meet Dark Sister soon

just wait until the next big dragon fight....you will like...

I donate tissue

It was sad 😢

Rhaenys and Meleys were legends, it was sad watching them go. But they went out fighting, not fleeing.

What's the dark sister?

Daemon’s sword

@@TheYoungWolf077 Daemon's sword

@@TheYoungWolf077 Daemon’s sword.

They both die lol

😂. Dumb writers. Same old ambush trick too "surprise the audience" 😂. They have no creativity left. I was not even surprised by the bull ... I knew they will pull that ambush trope again

Still don’t know where vhaegar biggest dragon alive at that time is able to sneak into a position to strike the killing blow without anyone noticing. In the books, aemond had a whole 2-3 minute fight with rhaenys on his dragon where both dragons sustained injuries(vhaegar to a small extent but still) before vhaegar struck the killing blow and that’s without talking about it was an 2 on 1 dragon fight with sunfyre also involved and rhaenys being the one who shot sunfyre down before vhaegar struck the killing blow

@@arunsingla3452becuase in the book you don’t have to budget millions of dollars for dragon CGI.

Same old trick right

​@@indiankid8601this might be an ironic twist they are setting up SPOILER..... Caraxes ends up doing that same shit to her 😂

She didn't hurt him though.

​@@gilgameshkingofheroes5903 They showed a huge gash of Vhagar's stomach. Whether that will affect how she fights in the future remains to be seen. Probably not since they're determined to give her all the qualities of an F22 raptor apparently

@@lukadzidic8211 Yes, but that was during the first "round", before she went back into the fight. She could (and should have) have left after that. Thats what i was trying to get at.

​@@gilgameshkingofheroes5903 Vhagar is old and slow. She might be tanky, but she's like the equivalent to a 95 year old woman in terms of age. She's not fast. She just can burn a lot and break things because of her size. And she's intimidating. The entire point of this was to cripple her. And she is harmed in this battle. She was ripped open. And again, she's OLD. This is the last fight against a dragon that Vhagar is successful in.

worst

"WOW DRAGON FIGHT" no, its not the best bruh, the writing is stupd

@@ZValkorion this

No vhagar is just strong. He's over 150 years old and has been fighting since aegon the conqueror, and was one of the original dragons to conquer westeros. She's just a strong ass dragon

Vhagar was the war empress of the dragons she helped united the 6 kingdoms together. Therefore she knew the strategies and how to fight .

Imagine a carrier ship ambushing a submarine. 😂. Writers have gone dumb 😂

​@@keithlowe3557 so she shouldn't be ambushing. She could have killed petty meleys in simple girl to girl fight

The characters kind of forgot the size and presence of Rhaegar

They would have won together.

@@vCLOWNSHOESv that's exactly what I'm talking about Even daemon shared his strategy details to her for how to kill vhagar And she just refused to prove him he's not king and he ain't got power like a little child She for sure deserved shat she got but I believe she would've been a better ruler than rhaenyra

And before that, she should’ve burned all the greens during the coronation. She doomed herself

She wanted to wait for the Queen's order herself. Not Daemon cause look at what happened to little kids when Daemon didn't listen and wait for the Queen's order.

@RicePho Daemon was right about going after Vhagar and should have had full authority while the queen was mourning. Daemon would have won the whole war if they took out Vhagar.

He meets a different end in the show. CONFIRMED

she's the worst character if you think about it. Could have stopped the traitors from taking her family's throne, doesn't (but kills a bunch of innocent people), then could have escaped twice but turns back to face 1v2 against the biggest/scariest dragon of all. Terrible writing. She's a dumb character, thanks writers. Dragons are pretty valuable, but I guess she wanted to go out a "dragon riders death" LOL

I agree. In the books, she stood against 2 v 1 as both vhaegar and sunfyre were waiting for her in the sky. The 3 were entangled in a battle to the death with only aemond emerging relatively unscathed. I think she died a more well fought battle in the books than having both dragon and ride make decisions that doomed them both.

@@lipstickthesbian13 that would make more sense... i feel like these writers, like D&D, probably hate women internally because they keep making them do stupid things like kill their babies or themselves for literally no reason except to look "strong" i guess? Why did daemons wife kill her child when she could have atleast tried saving it? Why is this framed as "cool" and "strong" ??? This is INSANE!

Sunfyre is alive for now(he dies much later from his injuries in this battle and two separate battles he takes part in towards the end of the war (both of which he won)but by that time war was pretty much over)

Dibs on vermithor

Rook's Rest sits on a tall cliffside. Aemond took Vhagar down beneath the castle and cliff then attacked when Rhaenys flew overhead.

​@@richardvye9958meatriding aemond again bud?

​@@cosmicaimer6962 meleys is the fastest dragon at the moment.. vhagar is INJURED and is big as fk, its just simply stupd writing... If i was the one writing the show, i will atleast make meleys fall by Scorpion Arrows

@@ZValkorion I see you're the kind of person who goes into every fictional show or movie expecting dissapointment no matter what, then cries like a baby online at people who weren't even talking to you.

@@cosmicaimer6962 *Gives argument why is bad *Gives solution to be better Responds: "well fk im just say personal shid sigma skibidi"

I think coz she is smart, experienced dragon. So she and Aemond (who is also pretty smart) knows how to use the surroundings. Deadly combo

@@nazar9326 so your saying just because aemond is smart and she has prior experience she can just decide when she makes noise and when not??

@@PeteyWells it is fantasy world so might be) just knows when to be silent. Just my way to adopt it to my imagination hehe

@@nazar9326 she isn’t supposed to be sneaky though she is so much bigger and stronger than all the other ones.

@@PeteyWells I also think because of the size and age she must be slower, so actually should struggle against faster, smaller opponents. So she compensates with wits. Of course we are used to stereotypes, so big must mean going tank and berserk etc. but i sort of like that they made her differently.

yeah they needed 2 dragons at least to take out vhagar

In the book she is ambushed by sunfire and vhagar, 1 vs 1 maybe she will win for Meleys speed, 2 vs 1 imposible

Didn't read them either, but I'm assuming it's because her job was to protect Rook's Rest to the best of her ability. That meant going back and trying to get rid of Vhager and Aemond, even though I'm sure she knew it was a suicide mission. Even Daemon said it would've taken both of them to kill Vhager at King's Landing early on. Also, she used the excuse that it wasn't her place to start a war when she could've toasted the entire Green clan during Aegon's coronation AND she could've gone with Daemon to King's Landing and killed Vhager, but didn't get involved a second time. Suppose she figured she's all outta excuses for not finishing the job.

the rest of the dragons are zero trick ponies...vhagar has outlasted most off these dragons & survived wars for a reason

⁠@@judigemini178Yup. Meleys and Caraxes are the only ones with battle experience after Vaghar, with Caraxes having stacked the most bodies out of the two.

Did we watch the same episode she got owned by Aemond hard.

She didn’t she was able to beat Sunfyre cause he’s much smaller, but then Aemond launched some friendly fire on him, but stood no chance against Vhagar.

@@UncleRuckus2134 It was either that or watch Aegon die.

@@MajorBluesZ Aegon was never gonna die

@@UncleRuckus2134 Never read the books so no spoilers, please, but I was totally hoping Aemond would've turned Aegon into a crispy critter insta death ball of charcoal. Caught a preview of the next episode and it looks like he survived ala Anakin Skywalker style...maybe? So bummed. He was pretty much useless.

Stay away from social media if you are afraid of spoilers

@@ChristopherBrennan-i1r you would’ve gotten spoiled by watching the clip anyway lol

Book is like five years old, also Sunfyre eats Rhaenyra

@@Keram-io8hv and aegon the elder is poisoned so aegon the younger can rule. So neither side wins

@@user-sc3or7ys9z And Sunfyre eats Rhaenyra which is absolute win for me

Sunfyres not dead, but he is crippled and will never fly again. Still hurts to watch tho you're right
