Here lies yet another reason why Aegon is NOTHING like Joffrey. Aside from one being just a petulant and somewhat glutenous teenager who does actually have a heart, unlike the sociopathic sadist, Joffrey Baratheon/Lannister, Aegon actually had the balls to not only join his men in battle but also go up against a much bigger opponent, whereas Joffrey basically sh*t himself when Tyrion merely suggested he join his men at the Battle of the Blackwater.

I read somewhere thst Aegon came to Rook's Rest not knowing that there'd be enemy dragon. He commanded Sunfyre to fly faster to save his men. He was (initially pleasantly) surprised to see Aemond so if Aemond hadn't arrived... he was ready to die for those few soldiers of his.

[@s1b3r11]

Well his mother just told him he is useless and shouldn't even try to be a good king. On the contrary these people were risking his life for him. A lot can be said about him, but he does really try to be good for people that showed him minimum of care. It's kinda similar situation to that with the small folk - they cheered for him once, so he was willing to basically bankrupt his kingdom for them. Makes me kinda wonder what if Rhaenyra played a role of a good, caring sister (at least for political reasons) in contrast to absent Alicent...

[@shikenkanade]

​​​@@s1b3r11That conversation with Alicent was like a knife to the heart. It was so devoid of empathy and basic human decency. He was a man so down and at the ends of his wits. He humbled himself and asked for advice only to be shut down and was told to be a puppet. It was cruel. There's also speculation that the shepherd in the first episode is The Shepherd. Imagine if Otto just allowed Aegon to make The Shepherd's flock whole. Dreamfyre, Shrykos, Morghul, Syrax, etc. wouldn't be paying the price. During Aemond's High Valyrian speech, he mocked Aegon doing petitions so it was implied that accepting petitions from the lowborn was Aegon's idea. He built so much connection with the lowborn and the merchants. Merchant connections both foreign and local iys crucial in the context of war. Aegon was doing something there but he was mocked by his more authoritarian brother.

[@user-ju8jb7tk5x]

Nonsense the actor said that was for glory and to prove Alicent something.It was absolutely unnecessary and foolish.I don't know why people think that rulers doing stupid things camouflaged in " bravery" is prove that they are suitable for ruling.A stable ruler knows when to go to fight and when to shut up and listen.

[@kalorakalora]

Such a layered character, he's been the MVP of this season. They made him seem pretty one-note last season.. to see him actually want and try to be a good king first with the petitions, then mourning over a son he truly loved, and now brave(and stupid) enough to lead a charge into battle against a much larger dragon... I love how nuanced they've made him. It makes you go "wow he may have been an alright person if Viserys had put some proper care into his upbringing". He never learned how to use his desire to do good in positive ways and succumbed to his insecurities and the worst aspects of his character. But it always seemed pretty clear that Viserys did not care much for him or spend much time and thought on him after deciding to make Rhaenyra heir

[@AmiWhiteWolf]

Viserys wanted a son and when he got one (actually 3) he doesn’t want him. 🤷‍♀️

[@shikenkanade]

It's not really just Viserys... Alicent's been emotionally abusive to him especially in this episode. He was a young boy so down and was reduced to crying. He humbled himself and asked for advice. She kicked a person already so down with that "do nothing" speech.

''When dragons fight, everyone burns''

[@christianboyette4463]

People want to compare Aemond and Daemon, but I think this scene really highlights the difference between the two. Daemon had a very complicated relationship with Viserys, but ultimately cared for and loved his brother. Aemond could have saved Aegon here, Vhagar clearly would have taken out a distracted Meleys, but instead literally opened fire on him and put his brother's life in danger. There is no love between Aemond and Aegon, and I think this ultimately stems from Aemond and Aegon being born straight away into the line of succession, whereas Daemon and Viserys had time to form a true brotherly bond before Viserys was named the heir at the great council. Aemond is what everyone claims Daemon is, a person that cares only for themselves.

[@digitaldozer]

nd I think this ultimately stems from Aemond and Aegon I think it has more to do with Aemond being picked on by his brother and counsins and made to feel like the inferior of the group. Then he lost his eye when that bullying turned physical. He's clever and cruel, I'm not sure if he's ambitious though, he didn't ultimately finish off his brother and take the crown.

I think Cole only genuinely cares about anyone insofar as they indulge his desire for revenge on Rhaenyra.

Heartbreaking that Aegon was so relieved to see his brother and Vhagar coming to relieve himself and Sunfyre, only to be betrayed and for what, teasing his brother who he loved and admired regardless. I know Aemond wanted the crown, but I lost respect for him for that betrayal.

Yeah it's like a knife being twisted. I bet Aegon would've preferred dying by Meleys than be betrayed by his brother like that.

[@ingetamm7951]

This betrayal doesn't make any sense and proof of that is that GGRM didn't write it in F&B (and before someone tells me about the "unreliability" and Green propaganda - it's hard to fake a historical event such as a dragon battle witnessed by thousands of people, so yeah, there's a great chance that Aemond actually didn't do it in F&B). He had numerous chances to get ride of Aegon if he wanted to, but even if had aspirations to become king, he first had to defeat the Blacks and taking down one of the few dragons that your side has in the middle of the war is too stupid for someone like Aemond

Aegon's character and actions are a blurry example of what many struggle with today: feeling powerless and useless to the point where you'd rather be a part of the problem than just sit out and let others resolve it. He needed more guidance in his younger years, for sure, but action-less he was not. His drinking is most likely due to boredom or to suppress his feelings, but I'll give it to him: When the time came to face a bigger and more experienced dragon/rider, he did NOT back down. Props.

Have you seen a standard poodle? They’re not to be trifled with. But I see your point. I’d say that Sunfyre at the time was ill equipped to fight other dragons - he could strafe armies just fine.

[@smittypwnz]

Sunfyre not meant to be a war dragon? He is described as heavy, huge and formidable despite its young age in the books and it’s probably not even 20 yet. Meleys is probably 60ish yet Sunfyre was able to go survive the encounter. In the books all three dragons crash to the ground with Vhagar coming out unscathed, Meleys dying and the young Sunfyre with half its wing torn off and wounds from its neck from Meleys. Sunfyre is a unit and if it had reached an older age it would probably be one of the larger Targaryen dragons.

[@jimbrewer5048]

More like a poodle against a German Shepard against a cane corso

[@stav2356]

@@smittypwnz I agree with that, he is described quite differently in the books. He is specifically designed a little more elegantly in the show however, I don't think he would look as robust as Vhagar and Meleys even at their age. I'm just judging based on the designs the show has given us. I do hope that they don't butcher him up later in the show, he is one of the most significant and fierce dragons by far.

Sunfyre was acting like a little puppy all happy and thought they were going for a joyride but end up getting the shit kicked out of him by Meleys. Meleys is my favorite dragon but Sunfyre is like number 2 after seeing his personality. And Meleys knows more than just one word for attacking. And Rhaenys's expression when she sees Vhagar coming towards them and knowing just how dire the situation became. Eve is such a wonderful actress. Best episode all 'round.
