[@Shannon-vv6rr]

​​​​​​I feel like they regretted making Luke and Arraxs death an accident which differs from the book, so they couldn't build momentum for Aemond to be cruel, and switched it to Aegon he purposefully tries to kill in order to give him a killer streak and show his lust for the throne. They made him TOO likeable by making Luke and Arraxs deaths an accident, then they realised that they messed up imo because they wanted Aemond to be seen as a relatable villain. They chose the wrong one to purposefully kill and literally switched the Vhagar dropping on them all accident to Luke and Arraxs being an accident, and they can't have TWO accidents or Aemond would seem incompetent and he needs to be badass. And they messed up Aegon being the target of the purposeful kill because Aemond is loyal to the Greens. Just my thoughts

"It seems my brother has a long recovery ahead of him" that was an order not an observation.

[@trevorb1898]

Feels like they're going to throw a curveball and try to make Aegon's milk of the poppy addiction due to it being forcibly given to keep him drugged, rather than just being from the pain of his wounds.

[@Shannon-vv6rr]

​​​​​@@trevorb1898That also feeds into the theory that the Maesters purposefully made sure Viserys died and kept him doped to let Aegon usurp after realising nobody would accept Rhaenyra as Queen for being a woman, they thought the better option for the realm was Aegon for peace in the realm so they drugged Viserys so he could barely stand up for Rhaenyra and Alicent got to act in his steed But once they saw Aegon wasn't fit, they *major spoilers ahead* poisoned Aegon to have Rhaenyra and Daemons child be King. They're not really loyal to Houses as much as who is fit to be king, some are outright biased towards Houses, but others are more for the realm, probably the majority are like Varys in the show GOT. I swear, the Maesters have killed more royals than most. We see the main maester seems abit bias to Alicent in the show and willing to cover and side for her. The citadel conspiracy. And then when they see Aegon failing as king they keep him doped purposefully and *spoilers for non book readers, repeat, spoilers ahead* Aegons poisoned by his own men in the book, probably a maester. I have a feeling they'll change it to Larys mercy killing him though. Maybe. They do seem to pull all the strings along with the Master of Whisperers. I think they'll make it so he's forced to take milk of the poppy then Larys sneaks into him room one night in his painful last days and mercy kills him with poison. Pretty much the opposite to what happened to Viserys, first his wounds were made worse and then he was doped. Aegon could be forcibly doped and then poisoned by Larys 1. Because the people won't like him and 2. Because he's a rotting corpse at this point lol and he mercy kills him

[@victoriadef4013]

​@@babayaga4783no, I don't think he tells anyone. But when Aemond goes to stand near the bed, you can clearly see that Aegon is scared of him, turns his head the other way so that he doesn't have to look at his brother, and tries to get further away from him using his right hand and leg, although uselessly because he can't go anywhere in his current condition and with his left leg in a cast of sorts. You can also hear that, while he tries to get away from Aemond, he is also almost crying from fear. So it is safe to assume that he remembers everything but remains silent, because he knows that of he speaks the truth it'll be very easy for Aemond to kill him and take the throne as not just regent, but as king.

[@jamien368]

Tom has one of the best performances, Emmy worthy, critics weren't lying, you can feel Aeogn's pain and sympahise with him even though he's bad person but you will get where he comes from and how he became this way, Aegon actually a victim to the enviroment around him and it's tragic.

@@junecatira in Fire & Blood, the historians/maester who writes this chronicle/history says himself he highly doubts the fact that Aegon was found in a brothel, being pleasured by a 12-year-old's mouth, since it was Mushroom who claimed that. Also, idk why so many people misunderstand this, but it is at no point said that Aegon put his bastards in the fighting pits. When Erryk and Arryk go in search for him in the streets of King's Landing, they go to one of the fighting pits where Aegon goes regularly for entertainment. And then we're shown that shot a little silver-haired boy (who is implied to be Aegon's bastard). But, if you look that scene again, that boy is very normal compared to the children in the pit. So he's probably not fighting in the pit (he's likely here because his mother works here or something like this). Also, it is at no point said that Aegon knows he has bastards. He probably does. And probably doesn't care. Or he probably doesn't know. BOOK SPOILERS BELOW In the book, Aegon has three alleged bastards. A boy and a girl born in 123 AC and Gaemon Palehair. The boy we saw in that fighting pit scene was probably the boy born in 123 AC since he seems still very young and that, because of Gaemon's story, he's indeed too young to be Gaemon.

Aegon now knows to play it smart and do nothing I know there are people who feel sorry for him cause he got no proper parental love which is the main reason he ended up as a lazy self-pitying depraved drunken and now crippled idiot but here's the truth Aemond was in the same boat as Aegon was infact he got it worse being the second son and all combined with the bullying and literally losing his eye but instead of wallowing in his self-pity like his brother he chose to overcome it made himself stronger smarter more formidable yes he grew up into a vicious sociopath and yes this darkness will destroy him in the end but the point is he didn't let his pain weaken him like it did Aegon and thus he will not die weak and this truth is why I have no real sympathy Aegon. both actors did an excellent job in this scene.

What did they pull from him?

[@LH74]

Dirty bandages

from the position it seems that they are ripping off his penis, but I'm probably the one thinking wrong

What a good man, being kind to his brother. He may not be Strong, but he’s all the better for it.

Did aegon lie to him?

[@Animefacts1245]

Yes

[@darealblackg.o.d2001]

Most Definitely… you ain’t seen Aemond press his big bro…that’s what you do when you hit your siblings and they try to snitch

I hate Aemond so much

[@Victor-fg1ky]

🤔 For the first time,Aegon finally used his brain. Dude is literally dumb and one of the worst Targaryen kings in history 🤦‍♂️It was really dumb of him to punish Sunfyre riding her to war: She's smaller, and a rookie at war facing a fierce large war vet, Meleys ALONE 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ The poor dragon even tried saving him while falling to the ground with clipped wings. Sadly, he's still going to do another dumb mistake while approaching Dragonstone again which I don't want to reveal so much details abt yet🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Why does he pull the ball so harshly into his burn skin?

[@Losrandir]

Tough love

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

Because Ryan Condal has brainrot and hates The Greens for some reason, making Aemond an evil idiot even to his own family.

[@anjadjurovic9617]

​@@TheStraightestWhitest he is evil idiot, even if this wasnt in book. But neither was daemon killing his first wife, choking Rhaenyra or wanting himself as king instead of being loyal. So blacks look worse

Me: I'm starting to feel sorry for Aegon *remembers he's a rapist* Actually, nah not really he deserves it. Although TGC is honestly a brilliant actor for Aegon and definitely deserves an emmy for his performance 👏

[@lynnraven6101]

I seriously hate that the writers made him a rapist because it’s for literally no reason other than to make you cheaply hate him. It serves no narrative purpose, wasn’t even in the book, and isn’t even consistent with his characterization in season 2. In season 2, he is at most callous and dangerously impulsive. The worst thing he does, when he has the most power anyone could ever have (as a king) is hang the ratcatchers out of desire for vengeance for his son. There is no indication that Aegon is legitimately cruel in any way, in season 1 they made him cartoonishly evil with the rape and the fighting pits to ensure people will always support Rhaenyra (and how could they not, at that point?). I love the fact that Aegon has flaws, in fact he is mostly flaws and very few strengths, I find him very compelling… but it’s that kind of cheap writing that really bothers me. Agreed though, TCG’s fantastic!
