Daeron Targaryen, the youngest of Viserys I and Alicent Hightower's children, stands out as the most popular and beloved son amongst her brood. He is known for his gentle demeanour and his valour as a dragon warrior during the Dance of Dragons. Fiercely loyal, he and his blue she-dragon, Tessarion, secured many victories for the Greens, earning him the moniker 'Daeron the Daring.'
However, despite his pivotal role in the war, and his potential to add more nuance to the story, there are rumours floating around that Daeron might be excluded from the show, House of the Dragon. This raises concerns about narrative balance, especially as it pertains to the perceived bias that many have towards the current narrative. So, in this video, I explore the impact of this potential narrative and discuss why sidelining Daeron could be a big mistake.

If they leave Daeron’s character out of the show, then they're definitely biased. He's one of the only "good guys" from the Green faction.

Although Helaena isn´t a warrior, she is definitly not bad, and she is very likeble. I don´t think Alicent is portrayed as an evil charecter either. The series is definitly portraying Raenera as the good one, for shure, but not all the greens are presented as evil
@thecriticalmaester9702
@thecriticalmaester9702 5 месяцев назад
I agree. Halaena and Alicent are more positively portrayed in House of the Dragon. They are definitely not as bad as described in the book, and I mean that more for the former than the latter. In the book, Halaena is still very likable and innocent. Alicent is a monster in the book. Though it's funny. In the series, it seems to be mostly the females that are presented more positively. The males are not. My next video is actually about this. Therefore, I feel like Daeron could've been a great male character to include into the story in order to avoid that criticism.
@undertakenheart
@undertakenheart 6 месяцев назад
I always liked how in Alicent's children we got such different characters: the sad boy, the sadist, the innocent, and the righteous. They took Helaena's innocence and made her neurodivergent which is fine but they haven't shown her interact with anyone but her direct family. We still don't understand why the common folk of Kingslanding would mourn or even care for her and her child. They made her neurodivergent for the sake of the plot (she's just a walking spoiler alert) and took away her character. They seem to be trying to blend Aemond and Daeron. I don't see how they can reconcile that once war breaks out.
@thecriticalmaester9702
@thecriticalmaester9702 6 месяцев назад
Yeah, they need to flesh Halaena's character out more and make it clear why the smallfolk would care about her so much. Maybe they could show how she uses her premonitions to help the smallfolk, maybe by preventing future sicknesses or something. 🤷‍♂ Either way, they need to flesh out her character. And I agree on the point about Daeron and Aemond being too different. During the war, Aemond just wants to burn everything, but Daeron actually uses some diplomacy and leadership. It'll be interesting to see how they reconcile that if they decide to blend the characters together. 🤔

Small constructive criticism/suggestion: it would be nice if when you show a quote from the books, you also read it aloud. I like to watch these asoiaf video essay style videos kind of like a podcast where I’ll have it playing in the background while doing other things and listening but not watching the screen.

Haha, if you watch some of my other videos, I do actually read from passages in the books, but only when I want to support what I'm saying in the video with what's written in the actual book. However, the quotes that appear before every chapter are more of a stylistic choice on my part and I really like the way that they're done... so I'm sticking with it dammit, lol 😅 Thank you for watching, though... or listening, while working 😆💚

At the end we just have to wait for official news or up until the start of S2. I'd be happy to see that HBO learnt from their past-mistakes and use the book lore. Especially since unlike Lady Stoneheart Daeron isnt a magical creature/figure which was the excuse why D&D didnt want to include Stoneheart. In my opinion it is not that horrible that Daeron wasnt in S1. The plot was very compromised and most of the side characters did not have anything to say at all e.g. Rhaena, Helaena, Baela, Joffrey, etc. As fas as I know HBO wanted Condal to cut the scene between Baela and Rhaenys since the episode was too long and it wasnt plot relevant, 'only' a character developing scene. Which in my humble opinion was a very bad decision. Baela deciding to stand up for Rhaenyras cause and Rhaenys seeing Laena in Baela had a very sweet touch and explains why Rhaenys wanted Corlys to take Rhaenyras side. So by my reasoning adding Daeron to S1 would only result in the audience knowing his name, nothing more. Cutting him completely or saving him up to S3 would be a huge mistake though. I hope we get to see him in S2 since otherwise I dont think that any of us could empathise with his character even though he is probably the only likeable Team Green character.
@thecriticalmaester9702
@thecriticalmaester9702 6 месяцев назад
They should've at least mentioned him in season 1. Cutting him out of the story completely would be a mistake. He is literally the only one who secures victories for the Greens, winning over the loyalties of the Houses of the Reach. He is definitely a contributing factor in Rhaenyra's downfall and paranoia, so it will be interesting to see how the show deals with all of that if they cut him out. I'm not excited about it, though. If anything, it just gives me flashbacks of Game of Thrones.

If his acts were inconsequential to the story, it's less work for the writers to just write him out. Most likely, they'll infuse some of his feats into Aemond's character arc. To further enrich and layer Aemond's character.
@vvt-4467
@vvt-4467 6 месяцев назад
Wouldn't it be the opposite? I mean GRRM himself is biased towards The Blacks with him writing a lot more about Rhaenyra, an entire book just for Daemon and the final outcome of the Dance not to forget that The Greens are flat characters but Alicent. If anything Fire&Blood and the books in it (as a creation of GRRM and not the in-world written record) are more interested and focused on the evolution of the main branch of the Targs and so the Blacks during the Dance. The show contrary to the bedrock canon that is the written source and also again contrary to the definition of adaptation, changes most events and dialogues extracts by trying to give a more balanced traits between the Factions of the Dance by focusing in Rhaenyra and Alicent relationship throughout this time. So in order to accomplish this 2 female facing they reduced drastically the age gap between each to nothing. This "balance" makes the ground for the audience to be able to relate with The Green characters as GRRM didn't do in his books, but also taking from The Blacks. One of these are the relationship of Book! Laena and Rhaenyra *into* Show! Alicent and Rhaenyra or Book! Rhaenys and Daemon exchange during the Black Council *to* Show! Daemon raging war lusting with a not committed Rhaenys and peaceful and smarter Rhaenyra, or Book! Rhaenyra making her appearance in an outstanding black outfit *to* the green dress of Show! Alicent. GRRM is biased towards The Blacks per his own initiative and preference and the show-made "balance" only takes from one side to favour the other without prompting anything exchangeable for The Blacks to benefit. The only Black character that benefits from this new narrative is Rhaenyra herself by purging some of her unsavoury non-personal but moral flaws That despite this deviations the show can't take from The Blacks the appeal GRRM built for them is that GRRM bias and canonical setting still stands in spite the showrunners clear manipulation of the authors work. Now, Daeron is portrayed as the gentlest of Alicent's children except Helaena. However Aegon being a sexual harasser if not worse and and Aemond being cruel deranged that even maesters taught in Oldtown and Septons describe him as insane is not great feat. What is most appraising of him is his dedication and loyalty towards his brother Aegon contrary to Aemond who is described for rejoicing in the fall of his brother for his betterment with "the crown suiting him better", while Daeron explains to the Lords that wanted him crown that Aegon's state is unknown and that he has a daughter. He is an important peace for the Green Faction and once Aemond dies and the Traitors lingered at Tumbletown, he is a great threat to Rhaenyra. However this is only the case because Aegon the King the Green champions forward dissapeared and shockingly the greatest dragon Vhagar had fallen at the hands of Prince Daemon. (Vhagar was 130 years old and huge while Caraxes was even less than half her age and size, like when Maegor defeated Aenys' Quicksilver with a 140 years old Balerion - settling that the bigger Dragon beats the younger and smaller). However the Daeron the Daring "title" has more in common with Robb the Young Wolf with the only difference that while Robb went from the North to the Riverlands and sacked the Westerlands and the Crownlands, Daeron never accomplished to leave the Reach borders. He is also maintained in the rear or in the vanguard during the march of the Oldtown army that had its goal to reach Kingslanding, only engaging not huge armies but ambushes and stragglers until Tumbleton. Tumbleton where only the few opposing Reach Lords that didn't stayed neutral joined the Winter Wolfs (a score of 2 thousand men) and the 2 Traitors who went from Black to Greens. Important to remember is that most of the Reach Houses as you said felt that the Hightowers overreached themselves and sat out the war, the most iconic of it being Lady Tyrell Regent of the Reach answer to the call of banners by alluding being "just a woman" facing many dangers of greedy lords. Even then the surrenders Daeron manage to accomplish were from him torching downs keeps of the minor or major lords *from inside* the single kingdom of the Reach. With a great many of casualties with GRRM making quite a point by describing how Bitterbridge was left in the shambles because the crowd of a pub had dismembered Maelor because they weren't able to decide how to divide the bounty or wether to give them to the Greens near Bitterbridge or go the whole track to Kingslanding to Rhaenyra or Maelor's dragon egg. Though none will compare to the Sack of Tumbleton that is considered by GRRM himself as the worst sack ever in the ASOIAF history during the betrayal of the 2 Traitors which Daeron accepted and used to burn down the city, kill all men, old and children that "not even the women survived the onslaught with the army raping the survivors and littering their corpses in near ponds, rivers and lakes". Here the cite: "Tumbleton had been sacked in the most savage fashion: thousands burned, thousands more drowned attempting to swim across the river to safety, girls and women were ravished until they died, and dragons feeding among the ruins. The victory Lord Hightower had won *with the aid of Prince Daeron and the Two Betrayers* sent terror through the city, as the Kingslanders were sure they would be next." Daeron accepted and rewarded the 2 Traitors with lordships, although their ambition will end with their demise and the death of Prince Daeron with him according to all tales no matter who made it possible that he ultimately burnt beneath his tent when Addam Velaryon joined the Riverlords assault on Tumbleton. In conclusion Daeron is a very important part of the Tale that is the Dance and if the showrunners decide to just give up on his character it will mean that the story and the narrative will not focus on the extent of the Dance and its horrors in every corner of the Seven Kingdoms and its seas. Nor the epic fights between the renown characters and other minor characters that will impact the story onwards after the Dance. Though I would not say that it will rob from The Greens the very few somewhat redeemable member of their faction to favour The Blacks when his most despicable and accomplice acts of the greatest savagery and degradation ever in the history of Westeros has his mark. If we go from what House of the Dragon has shown to do, then I think it is more probable that they are going to make his appearance true but clean up his image and ignore many of his deeds to play this "balance" and focus on Rhaenyra and Alicent.

Daeron isn't an important character in fire and blood. He only comes up near the end of the war. George clearly didn't put much thought into him and he doesn't really affect anything that much, especially dove the two dragonseeda went over anyway. Sorry, disagree on that point since there's not even enough info or interactions to say much of anything about him compared to the others.

A las gemelas Rhaena y Baela está temporada le van a inventar escenas que no existen. Van a borrar a ortigas para no mostrar el quiebre de la relación de Daemon y Rhaenyra y también para que ella no se muestre como es en realidad: Misógina y Racista. Los verdes aquí parecen villanos de caricaturas. A Alicent la convirtieron en tremenda tonta e hipócrita, una eterna víctima. A haelena la convirtieron en autista. A Aegon en un cobarde, violador, pedófilo, etc. Al único que mejoraron fue a Aemond.
