They can create a new plot where they give aegon a journey between gaining allies in secret wandering through the crownlands and deciding to move to some other place to seek refuge only for it to be later revealed that he went to dragonstone when the time comes

I think if they go for a creepy vibe it could work really well, because everyone in Kings Landing knows he’s badly burned, can barley walk and that his dragon is miles away. They could make it work through Rhaenyra too, make her incredibly paranoid the entire time Aegon is missing, thinking he’s still in the castle (kind of like Cersei with Tyrion in the books after he disappears) so even if they don’t show him or where he is, his presence remains felt throughout the entire time he’s off screen. Also, make a point to show that Larys genuinely has no clue where Aegon is…this change would only add to the paranoia and work wonders for the plot line in Kings Landing.

Bran was gone for an entire season. I don't see a problem with Aegon going missing especially if Aemond's role is expanded and Daeron is introduced. Besides Joffrey already spoiled Rhaenrya's death. ..

I think because HOTD will not be nearly as long as GOT they can afford to do the whole mystery subplot of where Aegon goes missing. They didn't with Theon because his show was longer and they used his moments to flesh out Ramsay whom they decided to make into a bigger character than his book counter part and as the show's main antagonist that was in-between Joffrey and eventually Cersei/Night King. The Dance of the Dragons is short enough to where the audience will be fine without seeing what is happening with Aegon and the Green's narrative could focus on Aemond and the others on his side. It helps set up the twist for show only viewers where they could assume that Aegon simply died but aren't certain and it makes a big impact when Rhaenyra bumps into him on Dragonstone

season 2 will be aegon/rhaenys falling (rooke's rest) season 3 will be daemon/aemond falling (battle over the god's eye) season 4 will be aegon/rhaeneyra falling (losing kings landing & both of them dying in the end) for that to work tho rhaenyra will have to die early on in season 4 so idk

@@flaviusaetius5701 That is not how the show is going to pan out. Rook's Rest is S2 ep4. S2 will end just before The Battle of the Gullet. S3 will probably end with Rhaenyra losing KL.

They'd have to put too much off screen. What they could do is have a penultimate episode end with Rhaenyra being suprised and killed with the subsequent being Aegon II's story. What they are probably going to do is just follow Aegon II's story and I don't think it will necessarily be that bad. This plotline will be a great opportunity to give him an arc and what the show needs most to succeed is the villain side having some of those, and I don't mean always towards more evil.

Honestly I think there are only 2 possible ways they could tell his story: 1.) Rhyneara flees kings landing and hops on the ship back to dragon stone where she meet aegon and as she’s burning the camera looks into his eyes and does his whole backstory or 2.) Rhyneara flees kings landing at the toward the middle of the season, then the episode after that we go through aegons story and how he took dragon stone, then an episode of him retaking kings landing and burning the Sheppard, then the hour of the wolf as the last episode and aegon the third marrying Jeheara as the final scene.

I wouldn't say everyone had a clear idea where or by whom Theon was being held (the character himself thought it was his father and he was in the Iron islands). It was only made explicit after the red wedding that he was being held at the dreadfort by the boltons. Maybe you could do the same with Aegon, show him but keep the audience in the dark about where he actually is. However there's also the whole situation with Baela, I wouldn't want that cut out..

I think they can go down the shock book way if they want. Then when Aegon kills rhaenyra. The next episode do like flash back scenes on how he slowly took over dragonstone. While I think both ways can work if done right.Yes you are right some people will hate it which is clearly understandable.

Im genuinely curious on how they will approach Aegon ii solo arc. He does live up to his namesake and becomes a badass throughout the war winning dragon battle after dragon. Sunfyre, the most beautiful dragon had become as broken and beaten down to aegon but still loyal. He prob must’ve gone through alot if he knew the fate of his children. I hope they handle it well- he became won of the most interesting targeryan kings to sit on the iron throne.

Despite his rank, Aegon is a supporting character in this series. Keeping him offscreeen or with limited screen time is no biggie. Aemond is the far more important brother.

Maybe in season 1 but in season 2 Aegon will become one of the main characters for sure, more important than Aemond. He is the main rival of Rhaenyra and did more useful things for the greens while Aemond stay most of the war with his witch or ruining the greens army with his stupid decisions.

I think we slowly see Rheanyra go into the mad queen just like in the books. Sure we will get a red wedding like surprise that will have people saying “wait what? WHAT!? “ it will be indeed talked about but again they spoiled her death in Game of Thrones when Joffrey tells Margaery of Rheanyra’s fate. I remember an online petition was being held that HBO should remove the scene all together which is impossible. I’m more curious of how we are going to see her killed. Are they just going to roast her and we watch Sunfyre gulp down in individual bites of her or is it going to be a shadow on the wall kind of thing?

I’d say the best thing for them to do for the show plot is to follow both Rhaenyra and Aegon, if they have a scene like Aegon supposedly going to do a task near dragonstone one episode and having the next episode be Rhaenyra arriving on dragonstone and getting eaten as the end of the episode or maybe her in prison. A third episode would follow aegon and how he arrived to dragonstone by either finishing his task or subverting his course and if Rhaenyra is in prison it could end with her death🤷♂️

The show needs to avoid, at all costs, a Dead Dany Moment, where the fans thought they had a girl boss feminist yay queen apex, and instead got a flattened set of characters moving to a limp excuse for an assassination. So I could see them going in the dread and foreshadow direction rather than the surprise direction for Rhaenyra. They also could mess with the timing somewhat so that we see Aegon ramp up to take Dragonstone, and Baela ramp up to defend it, and then we end on a cliff hanger. We reopen next episode and cut back to kings landing. Then when Rhaenyra gets to dragon stone we have a slow build up of dread as the audience sees clues Aegon holds the castle and Rhaenyra keeps missing the clues as she walks with baby Aegon to her death.

Canon wise Aegon is the only one reconsider as King with Rhaenyra regarded as Princess. The practical reason in this video is i made the images for two separate videos ages ago, one video i put the titles the other i didn't. However despite Rhaenyra being considered a Princess in canon i do consider her a Queen. If the likes of Balon Greyjoy, Renly Baratheon are considered kings why not Rhaenyra
