Dany had very little control of her dragons until they ran out of books and the show randomly made her have complete control for no reason. She locked two of her dragons up because she couldn't control them and Drogon ran off and went on a killing spree for like 2 years
@@danno1375 She didn't control Drogon in the book. He left Meereen against her will, and she realizes that the only control she has over Drogon is that what he allows her. Which is none, because he flies her to the middle of nowhere.
@@lnwyardee3809 i mean that still happens in the series, shes clearly going to start gaining control of him, the next book will just have alot more time to flesh out the growing pains instead of just insta-control
@@lnwyardee3809 I mean she did gain control over drogon in the book, in the pit she whipped him until he obeyed, i think its implied the dragons were waiting for her to prove her strength
“The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They're a power man should never have trifled with. One that brought Valyria its doom. If we don't mind our own histories, it will do the same to us”
Poor Arrax was a young inexperienced dragon just trying to defend himself and his rider. He could probably sense how scared Luke was and just wanted to protect him. In the end it was still Aemond's fault, he was basically waving a loaded gun in Lucerys' face thinking it would be funny to scare him, but then it went off. Viserys even said in the first episode that the idea they control the dragons is an illusion. Also the dragon Daemon went and sang to is Vermithor, he's one of the riderless dragons, but not wild. He was the dragon of King Jahaerys (the king from the very beginning of the first episode) and he is the second largest alive at this time.
"Prince Lucerys fell broken, to be swollow by the waves. With his death the war of ravens came to an end, and the war of Fire and Blood began. (...) Rhaenyra's heart turned black that day."
@@dajointcf4803 True but the real event to look forward to is The Battle Above the Gods Eye which is still a ways off. Things really start jumping off there.... IYKYK...
@@dajointcf4803 Yeah, I don't wanna spoil anything... but I'm sure this and the Dragonpit events will break my heart the most 😔The battle above the god's eye is something else tho 😅🔥💯
This prophecy is passed on to the heir, Daemon has been the heir for many years, and the fact that Visrys didnt tell him suggests that he never trusted him at all, which is a blow to Daemon's heart, since he always dreamed that his brother would trust him, and Daemon's real goal was to become the hand of his brother
To add to this: Daemon was the heir as a precaution until Viserys had children, he was never meant to inherit the Iron Throne and was therefore never told the prophecy. That's why he was also never named Prince of Dragonstone, despite asking for many years, and why he takes Dragonstone in Ep. 2; as a slight to Viserys for never giving it to him as well as Rhaenyra being named the new heir.
no. the explanation is the one Daemon literally gave in the scene. he had years of pent up anger at his brother for pushing dragons aside. Daemon feels he let people walk all over their house instead of flexing their power with the dragons. And to see Viserys pass this on to Rhaenyra angers him even more. Daemon has no idea what the song of ice and fire and thus no feelings about it.
I like to think that people assume Daemon is worst because of what he's done so far, but he wears his ugly mask for everyone to see while Rhaenyra has done her best to bury that side of her. They've always said Rhaenyra and Daemon were so alike but we've literally never seen any brutality from her except that one time she went ape💩 on the boar and wouldn't stop stabbing it even though it was already dead. I'm less worried about the wolf who's unapologetically a wolf and more cautious of the wolf in sheep's clothing. She's obviously going to do some vicious things next season and people will try and justify that by saying the Greens made her that way, I really like Rhaenyras character but I honestly think she's always had a dragon lurking locked away and it's been rattling it's cage asking to be let out, we saw it when she considered killing Laenor, we saw it when she lost control with the boar but she has good restraint as demonstrated most of this episode, now with Lucerys death the dragon stopped asking for permission. In the books they said her heart turned black, I want to see that in S2 because will people still love her when she's lost her morality? Alicent has lost some of her morals and people hate her, Rhaenyra will orchestrate darker acts than anything Alicent has ever done. I'm aware of the book but I'm interested to see how the show deviates from that as they have free range to do so considering the book is a bias account from third parties, a lot of it being hearsay.

Poor Rhaenyra. They woke up the dragon. The Dance of Dragons has begun. Aemond and Lucerys couldn’t restrain their dragons. Remember what Viserys said in the beginning? The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They’re a power men should never have trifled with. One that brought Valyria it’s doom. If we don’t mind our own histories, it will do the same to us.
@@reynical3083 what could she even do? In the end she’s just a mother continuously facing fear of her children’s deaths and later facing paranoia that someone might betray her again. Viserys never taught her to fight, just defend which would be her downfall.
@@reynical3083 It's not like Aegon does much more ... we'll see in the show because in the book all the big players are really unlikeable with the exception of some of the children. I'm guessing they'll add some heroic moments for all, they like the idea of the viewers being divided between the camps.
"The mad king" was named King Aerys II not Aegon. And Vhagar, Aemmond's dragon, is war/battle tested; Aemmond shouldn't have been using his dragon to taunt Luke. Baela and Rhaena are Jace and Luke's cousins, not half sisters. The 3 riding off was Jace and Luke and Rhaenys, who was going off to man the Gullet
I was looking for this comment. They kept saying the other dragons had not known war. That's why Aemond should not have used his dragon as a play thing. It slowed his immaturity and his disrespect towards a weapon of mass destruction. Luke's dragon felt his fear and was trying to defend itself from another animal that was snapping at it. The Dance of Dragons is here.
@@d3l3tes00n It will be really interesting to see if Aemond owns up to killing Lucaerys intentionally or tells people the truth about it being an accident.
@@andrewplehn4805 yeah, i'm looking forward to seeing what they do with him. When Aemond lost his eye as a kid, he didn't really take responsibility for provoking his cousins and nephews. The argument wouldn't have turned as violent as it did if he didn't insult them in the first place. Now that he is older, there is potential for Aemond to learn from Lucerys's death and own up to it. But, will he? Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see what direction the show goes.
According to the showrunners, he had that look because he realized he lost control of his dragon - I guess Viserys never told his other children that the idea they control the dragons is an illusion, as he did to Rhaenyra..
I'm still not over losing Luke. He was such a sweet kid and also mastered Valyrian. That seen of him trying to soothe a terrified Arrax before flying was such a good insight into his character. They did such a good job of making me care about those kids in such a short period of time.
@@MrFredstt He was a terrified eight-year-old child trying to protect his big brother in the middle of a brawl that others started. All the kids should have been under adult supervision.
The dragon Damon was singing to was Vermithor, he was Jaehaerys dragon and didn't have a rider during Viserys reign, Damon was claiming him for the blacks.
Its like two dog owners who get a little to close with thier dogs that arent properly socilized or trained attack one another. I like to think the dragons mistook the animosity between the two as genuine danger and disobeyd out of instinct
How crazy was this finale, Rhaenyra tried her best to keep things calm, but it was bound to happen, war is about to begin! Viserys death, Rheanys's grave warning about the greens, her breached baby's birth/death and ultimately the death of Lucerys by Aemond ( precipitated by his chase of Luke). Fire and Blood is coming next season, I've have thoroughly enjoy your reactions. Stay safe ✌
Is that book canon (I didn't read)? My understanding was that the vast majority supported Aegon II now that Viserys was dead and unable to punish them for breaking oath, and it's initially just a few minor houses around the Crownlands that supported team Black. That's why the emphasis was on having significantly more dragons being the trump card over the greens' vastly larger armies (Hightowers + Lannister + the Reach + Riverlands + any other houses that declared for greens).
@@atkim122 Spoilers Obviously since this is season 2-3 Territory Rhaenyra had more supporters but Aegon II had more wealthy/larger supporters. There were also several larger houses that publicly supported Aegon II but never actually went to war (Like House Baratheon, Borros made the excuse that Dorne was attacking and sent his army to the border instead of supporting Aegon II's army )
@@atkim122 Half of the Reach houses supported Rhaenyra. House Beesbury, Tarly, Rowan, Oakheart, Caswell and Costaynes. All of the Vale supported her since her mother Queen Aemma was born Aemma Arryn. All of the North supported her. Majority of Riverlands. Also most of the Crownlands. Only regions that didn't back her claim was the Stormsland and Westerlands. So in the beginning the Blacks had much more support than the Greens. Not to mention Dragons.
@@MR.ZAYI1991 thanks for explaining. I was basing the riverlords’ support off of Otto’s confidence at the green council meeting that most would join them (when he was talking about culling any Daemon loyalists left in the city watch).
Aegon was gonna be made king even if viserys hadnt said thise words before his death lol. Idk why yall solely blame Alicent. The realm unfortunately was never gonna accept a woman as heir.
Daemon is singing to Vermithor, known as the Bronze Fury in High Valyrian, the third oldest and largest known dragon after Balerion the Black Dread and Vhagar the Queen of All Dragons, Vermithor is currently without a rider, they're trying to get him on their side.
The page Otto gave to Rhaenyra that she ripped out in episode 1 the page was about Nymeria who fled the Valyrian freeholds with her people, Alicent basically was trying to tell Rhaeneyra to flee Westeros with her family the same way Nymeria did. I thought it was dumb to have Alicent act like she doesn't want Rhaenyra and her children dead and wants to avoid war, but everything she's doing is going to cause a war in the first place, she hid Viserys's death from his daughter and his brother and wants to send "peaceful terms" after all of that and expect them to just accept those terms when we all know damned well that if it were the other way around Alicent wouldn't accept those "peaceful terms".
It’s not dumb. 1) Alicent and Rhaenyra were extremely close childhood friends. There is probably still a part of her that cares about her. 2) Alicent opposing the murder of Rhaenyra is actually a political advantage. By offering a peace treaty, the Greens’ treason can be played off as a righteous and noble decision, because many lords firmly believe that rhaenyra is unfit to rule and that aegon’s claim is genuinely a better decision for the realm. However if she ordered the execution of rhaenyra, the Greens’ motivations would appear much more self righteous and subject them to much more potential opposition, not to mention risk of being branded traitors by the entire realm. 3) We don’t know that Alicent wouldn’t accept those terms. It also could literally never be “the other way around.”
@@myong2206 Don't bother with her. She is a jobless black supporter who comments on literally every HoDT video on RU-vid. Your life and time is important to you, use it wise. Don't waste it on such trash.
Also if u rewatch when Daemon comes to tell Rhaenyra about Luc he’s crying the whole time he wipes his eye with his right hand while his left is on his sword. It’s represents sadness and anger Daemon is both.
The true power of Targaryans: become everyone's favorite characters through their brutality, and still surprise everyone when they become murderous tyrants🤣
When Rhaenyrer turned after receiving the news of Luke’s death… it seemed in that moment she aged ten years, Emma D’arcy emoted so much in that final look.
I didnt read the books but from what i've heard from people this was just an appetizer :D the real story and conflict starts now with S2 i cant f'ning wait!
They say the worst scene of the entire show is coming in S2. I've read the books and I know which one it is, I'm not sure I could handle it.. Still excited about the new season to come out!
I appreciated daemon in here, hes ready to go to war for his family, also he loves his bloodline and the dragons - perhaps thats why he has a great bond with caraxes and vermithor didn't harm him, not to mention how excited he was when he took the dragon eggs
I like the idea that the Dragons respond to the base instincts. They dont understand subltey. Aemond did want revenge and he was angry which is why he was chasing Luc, and the only revenge a Dragon understands is death. Luc felt ashamed and did want to fight back and his dragon responded to those deeper feelings, not necessarily the more sensible feelings that they wouldve actually followed.
The theory goes, the dragons have a psychic bond with their riders. So Arrax probably felt the fear and anxiety from Lucerys and when Vhagar was threatening it, it prob tried to do a show of strength, sort of like a smaller dog barking at the big one. An impulsive action from a very young dragon. Vhagar on the other hand was a dragon bred for war from the early days of Conquest. It barely tolerates Aemond and couldn't understand he was just playing games with his nephew. When attacked upon, its war instinct took over and just finished off the threat.
@@myong2206 what? Lmao they literally just made this random shit up instead aemond just killing him like he’s supposed to. It’s literally drawn out for you like you know the source material
What a crazy ride this has been , my heart hurts for rhaenrya not only she lost her father , the iron throne to her brother aegon , she lost her only still born daughter which that birth scene was so raw and heavy I teared up 😢😞💔 then the fact she thought her and alicent were just coming around to be friends again but now that’s out of the window with everything happening 😢😭, aww man rhae with Luke scenes always gets me that was her sweet baby and you can the see love she has for all of her children which is even more heartbreaking that she lost her son 😢😭 , the fact that she was trying to process everything that has happened to her while still trying to be civil which that’s all she ever wanted 🤦🏾♀️😢 , poor luke and baby arrax was trying make back home but of course Aemond thought it was a game trying to chase a baby dragon with an almost 140 something year old war granny dragon like what did he expect was gonna happen?! 😅😭🤦🏾♀️😒 which goes to show what viserys said earlier that “ the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion” now alicent is gonna be pissed that he did that which I can’t wait see how aegon rules 💀, now rhae is about be a whole different person now 😬😭😳 anyways great reaction to you guys on this journey see ya in the next season! ❤😂✨👏🏾😁
Daemon is Rhaenyra's staunchest supporter. The choking scene in my opinion is out of character, it was just put in for shock value (one of the producers or writers has constantly shown her dislike for Daemon), and it doesn't match with Daemon's character which revolves around family. A son for a son.
Viserys's line to Rhaenyra from the first episode comes into play here. "the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion." The dragons are more like a blunt axe than a surgeons scalpel.
Vhagar(the big dragon) grew up in war Vhagar was one of the original three dragon that helped aegon conquered the seven kingdoms But the young dragon that attacked Vhagar was young and not properly trained so it attacked. Vhagar just didn’t let that slide
Vhagar & vermithor are the only dragons in the series who have seen war, that’s when Luke’s dragon attacked Vhagar retaliated as she is used to being a war dragon
Anyone seen "The Last Kingdom?" Aemond was on it first and Haelena too. Aemond's character was Alfred's illegitimate son who became a warrior-monk under Uthred and Haelena is Aethelflaed's daughter.
So I know you said that Alicent’s kids are more spoiled because they’re princes, but Rhaenyra’s sons are Princes too because they are the sons of the heir and are heirs to the throne before Alicent’s kids are.
It's funny, how in the books it was Daemon who was trying to prevent War at all cost at first, till what happened to Luke. Ps : Please Don't @ me with your "Ouuuhhh But but butt Da Booookss Aree Not Reliable Nooooo" stuff. You do find them reliable when it suits your narrative don't they? Anyways, Daemon did try to prevent the wars at first and this comes not from an unreliable source but the RAVENS SCROLLS which were Taken into account. So which is the unreliable part? The words and views. Facts remain facts. Edit : Why do i think they did what they did with Daemon? I've got a name - "Sara Hess".
The chocking scene was disgusting and showrunners ruined daemon's character. It never happened in the book. Daemon would never do that to rahnerya. The only people he loved in his life were his brother and rahnerya. In fact he would kill anyone who thinks of touching rahnerya. He was the one who wanted to first see if there's any diplomatic solutions possible before full blown war in the book... He's the one who would literally kill and die for her ..
Luckily HOD doesn't have Dumb and Dumber destroying their story, like GOT had. We can have hope their story is respected and in turn will continue to be as exciting as Season 1!
Dany’s dragons didn’t outright disobey her in the show, but there was a scene where she discovers that Drogon had burnt a young girl, which led to her locking up her dragons.
They disobeyed her all the time. Drogn ran away for a year and when he saved her from the pit he flew were he wanted and refused to fly her back. The only reason she had complete control over the dragons in seasons 6,7 and 8 is because they ran out of books and D&D are not good writers without GRRMs work to follow
People can say that Rhaenyra miscarried because of the stress and shock but honestly, this is what happens with inbreeding. It’s a small problem I have with this world which is that they only show that inbreeding can lead to mental problems but not physical ones. Deformities, weakened immune systems, the list goes on. Also *The stage is set, the music has started, and now we have taken the first steps of the Dance Of The Dragons!* I knew the finale was going to be huge but HOLY GODDAMN SHIT!!! The dogfight or really the DRAGON FIGHT was absolutely horrifying, and the way it ended…..the look on Aemond’s face was absolutely of regret. He wanted to bully Luke but he didn’t want to kill him, and when Vhagar did it against his wishes he knew he started a war. Emma D’arcy in their Inside The Episode interview said that even though Rhaenyra had lost her parents she had never known what true loss was, this was son, HER SON, she will burn all of the greens to ash!
It was pretty vague in the books but even than it was described that Aemond intentionally wanted to kill Lucerys. Also another change they did from the books of Rhaenys location when Viserys passed. In the books she was already in Dragonstone with Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Corlys
@@kidgforce1 Exactly, i feel like this is something most people are mising when it comes to the book. And GRRM already confirmed that the book and the show are different canons.
Team Black all the way. I loved this first season and I really enjoyed the finale. Great reaction and commentary as always. I hope y’all will follow the second season so I can follow y’all!
always love to see people who think daemon is anything but a sleaze be shocked when he shows even more of his colors, despite celebrating his nephew's death, beating an innocent man and killing his former wife... among others.
i wish they had kept luke’s death intentional, the way it was in the books, because this just makes aemond look like an incompetent idiot. like, he somehow didn’t understand that his dragon is a weapon of war and not a toy to be used to scare people?? i love the show but wish that there were some actual evil characters and that everyone wasn’t just morally grey lol.
Im still confused as to why so many people think Vaemond was being a “dick” the man had all the rights in this GOT world to press his claim and back it up, the only thing he is guilty of being is a noble and righteous idiot by standing for his beliefs in front of the King
Daemon isn't blinded by the throne or power, he's angry and upset that his brother is dead, Viserys never trusted him with Aegon the conquerors dream, and Rhaenyra didn't immediately plunge into a civil war. He fears that she will be a weak queen like her father, even though he loved him he did think he was weak.
Arrax was a very young dragon who got scared and was trying to defend himself and Lucerys, because I think he could feel he was nervous. Aemond decided to play and chase Lucerys, in order to scare him. The fact is that he forgot he was riding an experienced-war dragon, trained to kill - Vhagar took part to the Aegon's Conquest with her rider Visenya, and at this time all she knew was war and fighting. Aemond's dragon defended herself by killing, no matter who was the opponent..
The beach scene was longer and far more impactful but they cut it down just like when they cut the scene where Daemon is consoling his daughters after the death of their mothers
thats what the king was trying to say in the 1st episode when he said its an illusion that we control dragons... they tolerate targaryans but they are not their masters. they are living creatures
"The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion" ~ Viserys, the peaceful. Great reaction as always! Btw, I think you should add "House of the dragon episode 10 reaction" to the title so it's easier to find your video when searching it on YT !
Now, while Alicent's kids suck, (with the exception of Helaena) she didn't have them by herself. Viserys had a hand in how those kids turned out as well. He failed his children big time. I believe he should have not married again so soon after Aemma's death. He never got over it, and the way she died was something he ordered to be done. And her suffering was all for nothing because the baby died anyway. So he had to carry that with him and it killed him inside. To the point where he had no love left to give to his kids with Alicent. Aegon is a POS through and through, but I do understand Aemond's anger and resentment. Viserys basically didn't give a shit about his son losing his eye. Just what people said about Rhaenyra. I'm teamBlacks all the way, but seeing Aemond look up at his father's indifference and realizing he never really mattered to him at all was heartbreaking to see. I will say both Viserys and Rhaenyra were wrong. And I am not saying Luke should have lost his eye too, but at least a fucking apology was in great order.
@@mmemori he wasn't defending his brother... these kids could murder people by beating them with small animals and y'all would still make excuses for them.
@@jonnybgoode7742 yes he was?? luke was at most 6 years old. his brother got hit in the head with a ROCK, he didn’t know any better. aemond literally told him he will die exactly as his father did, screaming and burning up in flames. alicents kids can murder children and SA women and y’all will sit there and still defend their bullshit.
@@jonnybgoode7742 He was. Aemond hit Jace with a stone! Most important, it wasn't enough for him cause when Jace fell Aemond still goes after him WITH THAT STONE IN HIS HAND! That's why Luce cut him. He panicked because he was afraid (and probably rightly so) that Aemond would kill Jace when he hit him again. To fight is one thing, to grab a stone or other tool means to be ready to kill. And it was Aemond who grab a tool first. It wasn't even necessary since Jace wasn't so of a match for him cause Aemond was better trained and it was obvious. I'm not saying Aemond deserved what happened, but it was the result of his stupid decisions. Those are not excuses but facts. Next time, first pay attention when watching the movie and then make comments especially when you wanna be snarky, lmao. Cause at this point you're just ignorant.
A nuanced response to this show is rare. Everyone overlooks Viserys' role in this mess. The man should've known marrying Alicent would create problems; the only reason he is king is because the Lords of Westeros would not abide a female ruler so how could he possibly think having two male kids wouldn't cause potential problems for his daughter and heir? And the incident with Aemond demonstrated his incompetence as king; your son loses his eye and you won't even extract an apology from your grandson for it? He keeps going on about how distant the factions are growing but what has he done to bring them together? So yeah, Viserys gets some of the blame here.
This show surprisingly improved on a lot of characters, since we get to see their POV's unlike in Fire And Blood. Aemond is one of those characters in my opinion. Having Luke's death be a grey area where they lost control of their dragons ("The idea we control the dragons is an illusion." - Viserys Ep1.) instead of Aemond just straight up murdering him was a great choice.
Arrax was clearly uneasy the entire time since the moment they arrived at Storm's End and once Vhagar was following them that's when Arrax tried to defend himself so he breathed fire onto Vhagar who got irritated by the much younger and smaller dragon hurting her so she went ahead to kill him. You can train animals as much as you want but there are moments where they will still do as they want and in this case the implications were clearly much bigger than Aemond had initially anticipated so now he's responsible for the death of Rhaneyra's second child.
"Her grief was terrifying." That's the thought that came to my mind when I saw the expression on Rhaenyra's face after she found out that Lucerys had been killed. Any chance for the Blacks and the Greens to settle things peacefully is over. It's on now.
I guarantee you Rhaenyra and Alicent will still want to make peace with each other at the start of next season and Daemon and Otto will keep pushing for more violence
I don't feel like Rhaenyra will be impulsive but she will defintely become more ruthless. Her son was killed by her brother. In her mind, they are now willing to kill her children to further weaken her. She has 4 more children, 6 if you count her step-children in Baela and Rhaena. I feel like that more children to kill off throughout the course of the series. Before she was fighting for the realm, but throughout the season there were hints that she becomes a warrior as a mother. In ep 1 she said that she would rather ride in battle as a knight than give birth, and her mom says they war in the birthing. That some symbolism that she does both.
With all due respect to the late Queen Aemma, one of the finest knights in Westeros shall be known as Brienne of Tarth. True, this is an uncommon occurrence in Westeros, but perhaps it won't always be as such. Random query: Could Samwell Tarly be a midwife?
When king Viserys told Rahenera they can't controll the dragons. That's just an ilussion. This scene portrait that perfectly. Aemond in the movie tried to scare Jaeherys but the dragons were actualy fighting. Also in the books Aemond did try to kill Jaeherys. He was actually proud of it.
"Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor." (A dragon is not a slave.) ~Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Roynar, and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, Kaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, The Mother of Dragons, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains. "The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They are a power men should never have trifled with." ~Viserys Targaryen, titles, titles, titles... The dragon Daemon was courting was Vermithor. Vermithor was previously ridden by old King Jaehaerys and now lives in the Dragonmont on Dragonstone and could with Silcerwing, who was ridden by King Jaehaerys's Queen Alysanne. After Vhagar, Vermithor is the biggest, oldest, fiercest, and most battle hardened dragon alive. Daemon isn't trading in his Bloodwyrm, Caraxes, he's just making sure he woos Vermithor to team black.
Even Matt Smith, Emma didn't understand the Scene. Imagine the fans. Ryan said it was only for shock value. They don't Know how to "fix" the silly scene
Naturally, Damon plans war because he is the best military commander in his era. If Rinera planned instead of Damon, they would end up in a minute alone.
When Daemon said 13 dragons he was including younglings like Lucery's young dragon as well as riderless wild dragons. In reality at that time when Daemon was counting dragons, they only have Syrax, Caraxes, Meleys, and probably Vermax as adult dragons who can effectively fight a war. Meanwhile, the Greens have Vhagar, Sunfyre (Aegon's), Dreamfyre (Helaena's), and Tessarion (Daeron's). Count the fact that Rhaenyra was still recovering from childbirth, at that time only Daemon, Rhaenys, and Jace really could ride to war against King's Landing. So Rhaenyra was ultimately right in exercising caution, and Daemon was rushing too much. If they proceeded as Daemon had planned to bum rush King's Landing, it would have been 3 adult dragons from the Blacks vs 4 adult dragons from the Greens.
Absolutely tragic ending. Really shocking. Great reaction for the series. Btw, Im not sure if your patrons corrected you, or maybe youve read some youtube comments, but it's pronounced "Cris-ton" Cole, and NOT Christian Cole. I know Im being pedantic lol, but that is his name: Cris-ton.
The translation has been confirmed thanks to the language's creator, David J. Peterson (via Archive Of Our Own). In it, it is revealed that the name of the song Daemon sings to Vermithor is "With Three Heads". Check the English translation: Fire breathes, winged leader but two heads For a third to sing From my voice: The fires spoke And the price has been paid with blood magic With words of fire with clear eyes To tie the three for you i sing As one we come together And with three heads We'll fly like we were meant to beautifully, freely In the book Aemond he kills Luke and because he wanted not to and as he is showing in the series that he is sorry, the name of Rhaenyra's baby would be a girl and her name would be visenya In the book Aemond he kills Luke because he wants to and when he gets home he celebrates and Aegon and alicent they celebrate luke's death different from the series they put it as an accident that the Two lost control of the dragons in the book there is no such thing as losing control of the dragons they spoiled everything in the series but anyway Aemond killed Luke he could have prevented it It was just him not following Luke but that asshole Aemond went after the kid now he's going to bear all the consequences now I' m wondering how they are they going to do this in the series because in the book the greens are all happy with luke's death for alicent, aegon and even aemond so i'm wondering how they are going to do it in the series because the writers put it as if it was an accident and that aemond didn't wanted to kill Luke unlike the book where he kills Luke because he wants to, I didn't like that much they did it just to make people feel sorry for the greens in my opinion Rhaenyra wasn't dreaming of a dragon giving birth. Her own dragon, Syrax, was screaming in pain at her because they are so bonded. If you notice during the Battle of the Stepstones, Caraxes screams when Daemon is hit by an arrow. this shows how Rhaenyra and Daemon have a great connection with their dragons. Rhaenyra's anger burns the whole transition was so well done, her anger is completely justified compared to how they made Daenarys Daemon as crazy as it gets, he loved his brother. From the scene where he stopped Corlis talking shit about Viserys in ep 1, helping on the throne to mourning on the beach. I don't think Daemon wanted to show weakness because Rhaenyra was at her most vulnerable and it wasn't easy.. (His last wife died in childbirth, and I believe it is also said that his mother died in childbirth and the wife of Viserys died in childbirth.) So the only thing he could do was prepare for the war he knew was coming. The scene on the beach was much longer of him on the beach Matt the actor he shot a scene on the beach the daemon suffering from the death of his baby who was a girl and her name was the series visenya but HBO preferred to remove this scene the daemon he is not no saint anymore he loves his family he loves his children and really rhaenyra just unfortunately the writers prefer not to show that side of him much, i think the reason daemon didnt go to rhaenyra when she was giving birth is because he feared having to make an impossible choice. The last woman he had complications with died. He didn't want to have to make that choice for Rhaenyra. He couldn't lose her that way. When he dropped to his knees, he was relieved that she was okay and had survived. Rhaenyra didn't want help during the birth because of her mother's death. She wanted to get that baby out so she wouldn't suffer the same fate. This series/book is awesome... Matt Smith said that Daemon would give his life for Viserys and Rhaenyra. I fully believe he was heartbroken to see his brother in that condition. we books Alicent she hates Rhaenyra she was always jealous of Rhaenyra so much that I wish rhaenyra's death no and as in the series it shows that alicent is like that and because we books she does things because she because she is a bad person Let's see the losses Rhaenyra lost mother and father and daughter and son and Daemon lost father and mother in childbirth and also lost his wife who is Laena and son and now he lost brother and daughter and two other children They are suffering, but each one of their own ways, the daemon starts preparing for war because he knows Otto very well and he is afraid of losing his family One thing I say is that the two really love each other rhaenyra she can't survive without the daemon They are the best couple like it or not they are everyone's popular Daemyra forever Emma Darcy who plays Rhaenyra she says that the daemon never laid a hand on Rhaenyra that this was the first time that Rhaenyra her character didn't care much because she knows that the daemon did that and Because he's angry and he's letting his emotion out and she also says which character of hers cares the most about what she just found out that the daemon doesn't know about prophecy because Rhaenyra I thought the daemon knew because he was heir to viserys for 10 years that's why she put a smile on the side of her mouth because she just found out that her father always chose her and Rhaenyra had her doubts if her father wanted her as heir remembers episode 2 when Rhaenyra talks to Alicent poise now after years he got her answer The daemon must be sad because it's his brother and he just found out that he was never chosen and that brother never trusted him enough to tell him and that's more heartbreaking A script for the first season came out that HBO thought of putting in the story a scene that the viserys was thinking of telling the daemon then he starts talking to the daemon but then gives up only that they They didn't put this scene unfortunately I think the biggest reason people didn't like the scene of Daemon smothering Rhaenyra is because he's supposed to be a bad guy to the greens, but the protector of his family. Daemon isn't a saint, but he's definitely not a villain. He does a lot of bad things, but he's a gray character, and loving his family and protecting them is one of his redeeming qualities and some writers are trying to take that away from him. Hope to see Rhaenyra with fire in her eyes in season 2 I wanted you to watch Doctor who and a series has 13 seasons I think you will like it if you watch it
*_"The idea that we control the Dragons....is an illusion....they're a power that men should never have trifled with"_* Viserys speaking Rhaenyra before naming her his heir
That ending is why giving living weapons of mass destruction to children was probably a bad idea. It’s exactly as king Viserys said earlier in the season, that the idea that humans control the dragons is an illusion. In old Valyria, dragon riders literally had to use magic to keep their dragons in line, because there’s no other way to force a dragon to do anything. They only listen because they want to, and can easily kill a person on a whim.
They are not their half-sisters( Rhaena and Baela). They are Daemon's, so they are Rheanerya's 1st cousins, and they would be cousins to her son's as well. 2nd cousins, or 1st cousins, once removed, I'm not really sure.
