Larys' Plan To Save Aegon! Sunfyre Is Alive! REVEALED| House of the Dragon Season 3 

Everything Daemon said to Rhaenyra told the reason perfectly. Her father chose her for a specific reason. And it all had to do with a song of ice and fire.. “Winter is coming “ I always believed she had the right to the throne, there was no doubt! I was so pleased he saw his true place in his brother’s plan, and the moment when he realized it! I was however not happy that the turncoat got away. Daemon needed to take care of him immediately. What he did was inexcusable.

I think Larry is also the one who's holding Otto Hightower prisoner ! He has everything to gain by keeping him to later use to strenghen Aegon's position on the throne and that would be revenge towards Aemond who mocked and scorned him and who wanted Sir Otto fetched to serve as hand of King !

IF they killed off the Sunfyre it would mess up the rest of the series, so yes he is alive! That is 100%

I dont think he needed to sow paranoia & distrust as Aegon seen his brother trying to BBQ him 😂

I bend my knee to Queen Rhyneyra

The episode after the battle Criston Cole straight says he left men behind to protect sunfyre so hes still alive and aegon hasnt seen cole since he left for battle and they were trying to hide the king being hurt when brought back so aegon just assumes sunfyre is dead cause only a few know hes still at rooksrest

Red flags 🚩🚩 started happening when Miguel Sapochnik left the team because HBO refused to give his wife producer credits. He’s still an executive producer but he no longer directs the episodes as he was the main showrunner prior to Ryan Condal taking over. Then HBO decided to cost cut and it was reported that S2 would only get 8 episodes. Then both a writers strike and actors guild strike happened last year. S2 was already doomed from the start. Now in terms of plot from the season, it started happening by Episode 3 The Burning Mill. This is the episode when Daemon started to get his visions and then finishes off with Rhaenyra needing to sneak into KL as a septa just to have a convo with her former bestie because Daemon left town. The season did start off solid from the first two episodes. Then a decline in Ep. 3 before a series peak with Ep. 4. Then another decline from 3 of the last 4 episodes as Ep. 5, 6, and 8 meandered and went nowhere. Rewatching The Queen Who Ever Was (a poor title, btw), it’s not that awful. But the fact it was going to be the season finale, it had tons of expectations to deliver and viewers wants spectacle and fireworks knowing we need to wait another 2 years for the next season. Not saying it was a great episode. It wasn’t. Daemon seeing the White Walkers or saying winter is coming in High Valyrian only annoyed viewers because it reminded us on how badly Game of Thrones ended. The worst scene was the Alicent selling out her two eldest boys. Um, why the change of heart after only 5 episodes later? Didn’t she accidentally start a war from misinterpreting what Viserys said? She’s a bad mother, a hypocrite, traitor, and she’s dead weight. This scene reached Game of Thrones S8 stupidity. Had it just been an Episode 8 of a 10-episode season, it wouldn’t be looked upon as that awful with the exception of that White Walkers callback and Alicent appearing at Rhaenyra’s doorstep I just mentioned. I think Ep. 8 is about par to Ep. 3, 5, and 6. Nothing really happened. It’s about a 6 or 7 out of 10 but since it’s a finale with higher expectations, people will grade it a 5 or lower. Season 2 was a step back from Season 1. While we did get some great episodes specifically 2x4 The Red Dragon and the Gold, great acting in 2x2 Rhaenyra the Cruel, and more dragon fun in 2x7 The Red Sowing, half of it sorta meandered and went nowhere. Character development didn’t improve with the exception of Aegon and giving Helaena more to do. Simon Strong ended up the most likable new character over Hugh, Ulf, Alys, and Jeyne, but it mostly comes from his reactions than anything he said. I wanted more out of the Velaryons and got nothing. We saw Corlys mostly stand next to a ship having a conversation with his wife, one of his bastard sons, or Rhaenyra. Similar to Daemon, he too was stuck being filmed in one location. I wanted more out of Baela and Rhaena and got nothing. And Jace is supposed to be the Robb Stark of this series but I still didn’t get anything out of him that would make me feel emotionally attached to him. He mostly comes off as a whiner. Why did we need 6 episodes of DaemonVision? Yes, he’s coping. And yes, maybe there is a payoff to this after he dies next to Aemond. Don’t blame me because Helaena is spoiling everything. But why so many episodes only to come to the same conclusion? Daemon already bent the knee to Rhaenyra in 1x10 The Black Queen! We didn’t need to rethread this story again for an entire season! Now let’s get to Alicent…. 🤦🏻 First off, Olivia Cooke is a fantastic actress. One of the best in the cast. Matt Smith and Olivia are two of the top three in billing. All we got out from Daemon in S2 is tripping balls. Having a bad mushroom/acid trip in a haunted castle. All we got out of Alicent is her having sex, dissing Aegon again that led him to getting drunk and getting charcoaled by his brother. And if Alicent wasn’t having sex or being useless, she’s taking a bath or dipping in a pond or having awkward scenes with Rhaenyra. Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke could’ve been used sparingly this season perhaps appearing in only 4 or 5 episodes but the writers pushed them to do nonsensical things to pad the runtime of these hour-long episodes and to give Daemon and Alicent something to do. Turn Daemon into a loser “husbuncle” to Rhaenrya and deadbeat father because he’s still thirsting for the throne when he’s damn near 50 and have people like Alys Rivers and Oliver Tully dunk on him when he is supposed to be the most dangerous man in all of Westeros during this time. Aemond is supposed to fear his uncle. Daemon is not supposed to fear his nephew. Is Daemon becoming Jake Skywalker from The Last Jedi? Make Alicent into the shittiest character next to Criston Cole and make her a hypocrite, turncloak, and possible kinslayer? She’s now a worse mother than Cersei! She lost her grandson and she’s willing to sell out two of her sons? And she’s utterly USELESS at this time. As unlikable as Criston is, he can fight. While Alicent can’t even protect all her children from a war she “accidentally” started! It’s either sex or baths from her and that’s all she does if she isn’t berating Aegon or pushing him to a throne he never wanted! Whichever side you’re on whether Team Black or Team Green, or if you’re not on either side and think HOT D is mostly rich white people’s problems and you think they’re all bad (except Helaena and the dragons), we all got to admit the character development from both sides was lacking. I rewatched S1 prior to S2 airing and there’s a noticeable difference in quality. S1’s worst episode might be 1x6 The Princess and the Queen thanks to some rushed plot points and the time jump, but even that is better than half of Season 2. And 1x6 was written by Sara Hess but directed by Miguel Sapochnik. Sara Hess: White man bad! Make woman look good and heroic! Daemon is no Paul Rudd and is a terrible person! Down with the patriarchy! Down with toxic white man masculinity! And let’s add a lesbian kiss scene with Rhaenyra and Mysaria because I’m a lesbian! Nice, we got another Leslye-bian Headland from The Acolyte over here. An activist. Not a writer and is pretending she read the books. Losing Miguel Sapochnik was a big deal. He directed some of the best episodes from Game of Thrones. Ryan Condom and Sara Mess will ruin it with their fanfic nonsense. Again, if we didn’t get this ridiculous scene where Alicent is selling out her sons and Ep. 8 didn’t have the burden being the finale with higher expectations, it’s not that terrible. I even enjoyed the Abigail Thorn scenes when “they” joked about eating human flesh and asking Tyland to have children with “them”. Awkward pause from Tyland got me laughing 😂 as he looked obviously confused before Sharako mentioned about “their” wives. Do you remember from the early 90s the “It’s Pat” skits from SNL? People couldn’t figure out Pat’s gender. That’s what Tyland experienced when meeting Sharako. Oh well, let’s hope S3 is the “action” season. S2 is the “filler” season. S1 was the “setup” season. The Battle at Rook’s Rest was still great though even with some changes to it and that’s probably where most of the S2 budget went to. S3 should start with the Battle of the Gullet. The craziest naval fight we may ever see. As disappointing as S2 is, you know damn well you’re still tuning in for S3 in 2026 the moment you can see it. Let’s just look at S2 as a mulligan thanks to some cost cutting decisions and strikes. The Age of Ultron of the four Avengers movies. Not truly awful. A mixed bag with a few merits. Marvel, Star Wars, and ThroneVerse, the more they all want to expand their deep lore with so many different projects coming from different creators with varying visions to their lore, the more diluted the lore becomes. GRRM said they have 7 different projects in the works. It’s going to grow stale like what happened to MCU and SW. GRRM is already 75. His lore will get more diluted after he dies because it’s no longer coming from him but from several hack writers. Look at Disney Star Wars. It’s become a trash brand and George Lucas isn’t even dead yet. Tolkien will be rolling in his grave again when The Rings of Power S2 comes out. Be excited for House of the Dragon Season 3 and 4, but don’t get too excited knowing there’s going to be changes we all have to live with. Look at HOT D Season 2 this way: Still better than most MCU and Star Wars series on Disney+. Even at it’s worst, HOT D S2 remains better than The Mandalorian S3, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Secret Invasion, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Echo… Let’s wait 10 more months for A Knight of a Seven Knights. To some who only want to see dragons from these type of medieval fantasy shows, it may not be appealing to them. But the Dunk & Egg series with only 6 episodes should keep Burlington Bar busy with their awesome reactions in Chicago next year. A Song of Ice and Fire is truly headed to where MCU and Star Wars already are. Another IP trap filled with diluted quality. Star Wars no longer excites their fans. Just another visit to McDonald’s. Luster wore off years ago. May happen again to all these Game of Thrones spinoffs.

I go for Queen Rhaenyra as she is the capable of uniting all Kingdom to face the "Winter".

Aegon survived the fire and fall. I’m betting the dragon Sunfyre survived as well. There is a reason that they showed the dragon moaning and moving on the ground. Sunfyre will be shown to Aegon in season 3 to be alive and returned to health.

Queen Rhaenyra, rightful queen chosen by King Vicerys to sit the Iron Throne after him

It's not so easy to move a heavily damaged dragon around unnoticed. So Sunfyre might be recovering, hidden somewhere around Rook's Rest. Larys is cunning, yes, but he's no Tywin or Olenna. He is more of an opportunist than a strategist. He might have paid some men to find a good hideout that won't most likely not be discovered, even if Rook's Rest is re-taken. But he nevertheless just takes his chances.

So there an ambulance & hospital for Dragons near Rooks Rest? Lmao they gotta chill out, so Sunfire is out there getting fed Jell-O & apple sauce by the nurses 😂 🤣 😭

I bend my knee to no one!

I’m rooting for Aegon and Larys. Aegon has become a different man. He is a survivor and with Larys he will make a comeback like nobody’s ever seen. 👍

Queen Rhaenyra. She symbolises truth, hope and compassion. She is firm and willing to use force where necessary.

Rhaenyra is the Queen. Her father never changed his mind. The greens are evil manipulators.

House Bowman will bend the knee for Queen Rhaneyra

I will bend the knee for Queen Rhaenyra. she doesn’t want war in the first place, she care for her people. I believe that she could unite the realm.

I will bend the knee to the rightfully named heir Queen Rhaenyra 👑

Littlefinger was one of the best characters in GOT so naturally I like Larys too. This theory of Sunfire being alive weirdly makes sense. Otherwise Larys' and Aegons escape doesnt necessarily make any sense.

That thumbnail of Aegon the Burnt is nasty work 😂😂😂😂

Aegon ii IS not usurper , Stannis told Rhyneyra is

Team Black ❤❤❤❤❤❤ My King said so.

Queen Renyra Tagaryen. Denn sie kennt die Verantwortung für "das Lied von Eis und Feuer". Und dass die Verantwortung für das Volk als Königin weiter geht als sie. Die Verantwortung von "das Lied von Eis und Feuer!"

That shot of Rhaenyra in black with her blonde braid down her back, on the terrace looking out over the water is so iconic. ... it's a BEAUTUFUL shot.

I bend my knee to Rhaenrya as her father would have wanted ⚔️

My House is dedicated to Queen Rhaenyra to battle the cold winter that is coming.

Sunfyre isn't dead! Joffrey told Margery the story, in GoT, that Rhaenyra was fed to her brother's dragon and all that's left of her was buried down there.

Yep and Jon is gonna pull heartsbane out of days chest to make light bringer after giving long claw back to jorah and Sam discovering his family sword was used to end the first long night

Rhaenyra of course, for same reasons that Mysaria said!

I can't believe Aegon went with Larys. I was very surprised to see that...

When stories keep a sick character alive, it is often that character will give a life for a life.

For Aemond Larys is a STRONG that alone is enough for him to dislike him........ His eye was taken out by one whom he already killed.......

Raenyra is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne because King Viserys publically named her the next heir. She has the direct bloodline and his decree. Alicent has no proof of what she thought she heard. Those are the only too reasons anyone needs. Doesn't matter who's happy about it or not.

I feel for Aegon...but I'm still an ally of Rhaenyra...she's more interested in peace.

I just can't believe how badly they have f#$%ed up HOD!!!

Why watch when you already know what happens!

who's moving the dragon though ? lol

what I don't understand about Larys is why save the king when he ended up killing him with poison

Having read the book, I happen to know Sunfyre is very much alive. Ryan wouldn't dare deviate that much from the book

Big mistake for Aemond humiliating Larys . Bigggg mistake.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was wharging into the rats

I would bend the knee to Rhaenyra as her father made her his heir and raised her to rule.

Sunfyre is still alive

RIP Dragoncock

I bend my knee for Rhanerye. She is the true blood Queev

I'm an American I bend my knee to Noone except the Lord Jesus christ.

Queen Rhynaera is the rightful heir to the throne

Queen Renyra Tagaryen. Denn "der Winte naht! Und das Lied von Eis und Feuer 😊

I vote for rhenerya as queen because she has her fathers wishes for peace, which in turn may cause her downfall but she honors her father

I will bend my knee and swear my sword to the rightful heir Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen

According to books, after Renira fails to stay on the iron throne once she wins it, she flee and gets captured by Aegon wounded and half dead after another dragon battle, so he feeds Rhenira to his dragon while her son watched. Show is known for editing things out but in this case, I think they will keep this spin off

Will Sunfye remember being attacked by Vhagar

Wasn't Sunfire paraded through the streets of Kings Landing? Or at least his head? How could he still be alive?

I also think it's too early for aegon and larys because aemond is upset and suspects larys of treachery while at harrenhall and he slaughter innocent man because daemon outsmarted him... so this is crazy and since they left before the gullet the story won't be so impactful because they spoiled everything.... as aemond and daemon plans even aemond burning sharp point is minimized we don't feel anything what is aemond strategy, well it was supposed to be the same plan he did on rhaenys which is why I think red dragon and the gold should be the last episode of season 2... and we dont feel for this because they show all the good stuff off screen and skip it or don't include it. Why would aemond try killing his brother if he calculating honestly I don't think 🤔 I wanna watch this anymore they ruining it for me and with the white walkers.. this is disappointing why not show the white walkers in winter after this war it is SEPERATE... and for alicent to meet up wit rhaenyra and betrays her family minimize her character as well it don't make sense.. they wrecking the story for me... even haelena isnt mad and can't go mad because they ruined it she is a full dreamer now how can she and basically tells the whole story.. it doesn't take this stupid stuff for daemon to be loyal... its because its a front to daemon as well when they took the throne and kill his stepson.. this is why i like daemon killing that heir through a women and ex gold cloak and a rat catcher Seriously this bring more anger on the greens because he did it more than sloppy he did it properly in a way his hands weren't completely tied to it and even if it was it does adds extra damage because they fighting this war to keep a women from the throne so the fact he did it through a women

I will bend the knee only to the true heir Queen Rhaenyra.

Bro. Aegon will be the Leader of the white walker.

Our house of Habte has bent the knee for our Queen. The rightfull heir is the Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and her husband Damon. Those half brothers are evil.

What I heard sun fire was recovering he’s not dead yet

Sunfyre burns rhenerya according to King Joffrey so I’m going to believe Sunfyre is still alive

I believe Sunfire is dead and the Dragon King Aegon, will use for "special" upcoming events will be his sisters dragon Dreamfyre.

SunFire lives

Sunfyre is dead. Cole said so.

What dragon was that in the Vale

I think sunfyre is alive also! Lyras doesn't really care for aegon though! He knows the only way he will get or stay in power is aegon! Aemond hates him and rhaenyra would have him killed! So either he's using aegon hoping the others will kill each other and he does think aegon will comeback as king and aegon will raise him further! Or he'll use him as a bargaining chip to aemond or rhaenyra! I still am disappointed though because aegon would have been hurt far more then they show on the show! Don't get me wrong, i do feel really bad for the guy!

Yes Sunfyre is still alive. They said that they left him there but didn’t mention that that dragon died. I think Aegon will have a comeback with his dragon

my toasty king

Rhaenyra- the choosen hier to throne

Aegon has already said that sunfyre is dead.

I bend the knee to queen rhaenyra. But I believe Aegon will rule again for a little while

Larys is a criminal.

If the change their fate, it will be disastrous and change way too much, for the only reason, that the book, might be ''hear say'' and not totally acurate, that is dog shit imo... most events are backed up with other facts, told in the book, not necessarily in favor of the green or the black... you can tell when mushroom is high while writing but clearly things like Rhaenyra dying being burnt by Sunfyre and eaten needs to happen for her little boy Aegon III to be traumatized by it and shape his futur hatred for dragons... like all this need to be in there and should be, its a crazy good turn up, since Aegon also died shortly after poisonned and their kid marry... uniting their family once again.

I think his dragon is dead did he not damage his wing .

Lary's does have sympathy for broken things. Or does he?

Aegon is alive because Sunfyre took most of the damage. That Vhagar fire was just too much, Melys and the Queen 'that never was' survived the fire, Aegon survived the fire so obviously Sunfyre took up most of it. That dragon is dead, books are books but this is the series😆... #TeamBlack #QueenRhaenyra

Queen Rhaenyra

Rhaenyra!

Rhaenyra she is the one true queen the queen miss understood the things that Visarys was saying

AEGON the VI!

Rhaenyra baby!

I would have to say that Sunfire is dead. Reason being is how are they going to move that dragon? If there's no dragon riders, he'll scorch them and it'll be all over for them. How many agree with me??

I would bend the knee to the rightful heir Rhaenyra Targaryen. She has shown to be a far better ruler than either of her brothers. Team Black 🖤❤🐉🐲

Poor writing Poor pacing Poor character development Where is Battle In The Gullet? Where was the taking of Kings Landing?

daemon story isnt just out of revenge or veagence but he does something in war like richard 3 done to kill the heirs to get closer to the throne daemon doesnt feel left behind by rhaenyra or her sons but the hightowers if anything he dealt with that because daemon isnt an emotional man... and isnt really a villain he did what targaryens do try and marry his niece... and the war starts because otto says "if rhaenyra rules it woupd be lord flea bottom who rules us" if they wated to make daemon worse than make the war his fault and rhaenyra sons death also because he took harrenhall angering aemond calling the blacks usurpers after they usurped the throne from rhaenyra and also the fact they ook it from rhaenyra is a front to daemon as well because this his wife he has children with her why wouldnt he fight for her immediately without all these dreams i just dislike the changes to the story especially haelena how tf is she exceeding my expectationsso quickly andoff screen why didnt we see this growth and aemond burning one of the boacks supporters that jace won to their side this is what i mean by minimizing things and adding your own things that is not adding to tgr story truly it just confuses me more because im like what they doing why the aint show us this or why they cut this...but in my opinion what he did was justified... in war perspective honestly daemon is my favorite targaryen besides aegon 3 one of his son.. he is a father to kings and more of a king than kings were at the time and more brutal in war than most commanders more calculating and patience than his nephews at 49 and better at war than them all combined and is smarter than the show is making them he said his nephews are green boys which means they impatient eager to prove themselves and quick to anger but they made daemon like his younger self hungry for power but in books he is lord commander if they did this how can daemon be at harrenhall emotional and even jacerys they made him a wimp and he wasn't like this because he proved himself thru his negotiations bending kneese making man come to his mother side but they didn't show us this and he made the dragonseeds this really reassures hid place as the heir to the iron throne and targaryen ans capable of being like jaherys the counciliator this keeps them from being emotional if rhaenyra and alicent were more ruthless and protective of their son because this war furthers because of their children after luc and jaherys murders the war went into a whole nother level.. they minimizes this

Sunfyre has to be alive since GoT already gave away the ending of HOTD lol.

Aegon II is the true heir. Male 🤜

Rhaenyra Rhaenyra Rhaenyra

I love the black's but patriarchy is alive😢

at this point i'm just read the book because i can't wait another two years

Your pronouncing of certain names/words is very annoying.

I’m black now and always

😂

Lesbian and trans characters….and boring ass season 2

I will bend a knee to Rhenerya. She is the first born and pure Targeryan bloodline and she was choosen by her father as true heir.

Rhaenyra is the worst character I've ever seen, they try to make her likeable but in reality she makes no sense at all and it's just another push for woke propaganda, this "ser criston cole is the worst character" bs is coming from all the woke losers, I side with the greens In the last episode, the captain for the triarchy was honestly so much more enjoyable of a character than rhaenyra ever was and she was only featured in like, what? 6 minutes of the episode or less? Just goes to show how hard they're trying, but in reality, just make her completely unlikeable due to her traits, absolutely nothing in common.
