​@@patrickchristiansen1758 That's true, but if that were the case, we'd still have been waiting, and if Martin's version still had the 'Mad Dragon Queen' ending, the story would have been less well liked and there is a good chance no corporation would elect to spend millions on a high budget Television series. So we may very well have never seen this amazing show. We can thank D&D for this much, though unfortunately they were simply too ignorant of the real Medieval world (on which the GOT world is based), to write an intelligent story after Martin's writing stopped. They're basically just your average Hollywood writers thrust into undeserved greatness on the talents of an extraordinary writer, who will ultimately (I believe) will lose much of his popularity by the time the story is finished by the choices he will probably make.

The way Aegon's described gives big Rhaegar vibes. "Skilled warrior, but took no joy in it ... Commanding presence, yet few close friends." Plus the way he was willing to ascribe to Westerosi culture and customs, leaving his ego at home, it really does feel like both of them were being driven by something more important than personal interests. Aegon's prophecy from HOTD fits the story really well.

An important thing to remember is Grrm didn't knew all this when writing the first book. He knew where he wanted the story to go, he knew all important houses, he knew important plot points but not everything we now know. He learned these things while he was writing a chapter and imagined a tiny history detail that would suit the scene or foreshadow something. I think people often forget how little a worldbuilding is done before writing the story compared to how much there is in the final draft.

Angel Gutierrez The books? Prince Doran Martell of Dorne had three children -- Arianne, Quentyn, and Trystane. Arianne -- the eldest child and heir; she planned to raise Myrcella (who was at Dorne, bethroted to Trystane) as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, using the law of Dornish inheritance as justification, with the help of her close confidants and without her father's knowledge. Eventually, the plot was bestrayed --- Myrcella was almost killed, Ser Arys (the kingsguard knight who went to Dorne with Myrcella to protect her) was slain, her friends exiled, and Arianne chastened. Later, Prince Doran confided her his plan to bring down House Lannister, avenge Elia, and destroy the enemies of House Martell. She was currently on way to Storm's End to treat with Jon Connington and the Golden Company.

Roberts Rebellion has already been ruled out. They say Dunc and Egg is the front runner for the spinoff. The story of Duncan the Tall and Eygon (or Aegon) the 5th I believe. There are so many things they can go into, from Roberts rebellion 17 years ago to Valeryia 8,000 years ago to unknown and mysterious aspects of the universe that are still rich in lore like Ashia in the Shadow.

And yet even after her losses she's still only interesting when she's naked. WAIT hear me out on this I have a reason that isn't muh male anatomy. There are two interesting things about Danny's story line. First is the psychology of just wanting a home but being forced to continue forward by expectations of others and legacy.In the books it's heavily hinted at that she would be much happier throwing away her crown and living as a (very rich) woman with Dario. For evidence look at how often the symbolism of the house with the red door comes up and what it represents. you add in the fact that she's only 13-16 throughout the events also add some questions of agency to the mix how many of Danny's decisions are her own and how many are the results of pressure from those around her? If left to her own devices what would she do? After seeing the cluster that was Season 7, I don't really trust D&D to handle something like that without Dany becoming a screaming angsty teenager crying to the camera about her feelings in long dragon themed monologues. That leaves the second interesting thing about Danny, and that is that she serves as the gate way to the fantastic. Think about the portions of the Show that takes place in Westeros, its a well written character drama set in an analog to medieval England. Ok that's cool, now what do we see in the Danny portions? We see these crazy exotic cities, we see horse lords and warlocks and harpies. Show Danny isn't really interesting because of Danny but instead because of the things that are happening around her. When Danny is on screen that's the reminder that I'm watching a Fantasy show, and the scenes that best incapacitate this idea are her rebirth i.e the scenes when all her clothes are burned off and she's left naked as the day she was born. The books do this too, but it's just not the same as actually seeing it, ya know?

Instead of making the daughter of his oldest son who was married to a Velaryon (Corlys if I'm not mistaken) and pregnant his heir chose one of his younger son's son all of this led to the famous Dance of Dragons with the Targeryan being split into two sides, both with dragons.

Another difference between Aegon and Dany: Aegon had two sisters, who were able to control their own dragons. They could attack separately, in different places, etc. Dany can't do that, because she controls only Drogon, and the other follows him (well, at least until Jon's Targ side is revealed). So Dany can't make a strategy about her dragons, can not divide them: one goes with Yara and Theon, the other with the Sandsnakes, etc. It is a huge disadvantage.

And there is something about her being warned not to return, and coming back just to be shot out of the sky.

Also, remember that Dany learned how to rule by trial and error in Meereen, she didn't fix the economy and the social structure after freeing the slaves but that's ok because she left in charge a charming fuck boy and his horde of bandits.

Jorah will go to Asshai to cure his greyscale and get a smoking arm like Victarion has in the books, then travel to Westeros to be with his queen, only to find out she's gone mad and he'll have to kill her. Then the White Walkers incade and Jon unites the kingdoms to fight them, but he instead brokers a peace treaty. Having united the kingdoms and repelled evil the people will herald Jon Snow (who takes his mothers name of Stark) as their new King. But Jon will instead sit on the throne only long enough to disolve the monarchy and proclaim the seven kingdoms independent nations once again. Sansa will rule as Queen in the North from Winterfell, Arya will sail off around the world, Tyrion will retire to a vinard somwhere in the Reach, Bran will travel north of the Wall to become the Three Eyed Raven and Jon will return to the Wall and reform the Nights Watch.

Didn't Dany kill prisoners? I believe Aegon's "bend the knee or die" line was him demanding his opponents surrender. Dany was just ego tripping, trying to strong-arm prisoners of war.

It's kinda funny how the Valeryans all grew up and lived around all this powerful magic, imune to dragonfire, keeping an active volcano habitable through the raw power of their magic, but yet premonitions they don't believe in. I'm sure there was a specific reason for that in which grr had in mind.

Aegon was a beast, Dany hasn't got shit on him. That's why that "break the wheel" line was so stupid. Aegon was intelligent and was open-handed and merciful to those who submitted. He understood that it's better to make allies of your enemies. If Dany wants to know the consequences of pissing off more than two great houses at the same time, she should learn about her father's reign.

Yes, with three dragons, but according to Martin, the scales of dragons were too strong to be penetrated by any weapon unless sot in the eye, and even this could be avoided if they wore slotted steel eye protection like medieval knights and horses. Even Martin was a bit stupid in this respect when he wrote a Targaryen queen didn't protect the dragon's eyes from scorpion fire, so she and her dragon were killed. Of course she would have protected them.

@@danpeterson114 maybe, maybe not. armored blinders would limit the dragon's ability to fly freely in exchange for turning a weakness the size of a dinner plate on a target the size of a castle, into the size of a hand. the dragon's greatest defense is it's ability to avoid getting hit with its great speed and ability to keep distance. if it were wearing blinders it risks colliding with towers and walls while doing fast and low "strafing runs" on ground troops. a fate far more likely and fatal than a seige weapon landing a perfect shot on a very fast moving and small target.

@@MFenix206 There is a big difference between "blinders" which are designed to partially block the side vision of carriage horses, and simply a strong, arrowproof grillwork which would not restrict vision and is commonly worn by medieval knights and their warhorses as proof against arrows. The dragons appear to be intelligent enough to appreciate the protection so would tolerate wearing them as well. This is just one of Marin's (and HBO's) stupid mistakes caused by their relative ignorance of real medieval military technology. I have ridden my own horse in full 15th century armor type armor and the pierced eye protection does not restrict his vision in the least no more that if you looked out of a screen door.

@@danpeterson114 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barding looking at the image in the top right, it *does* restrict vision in the same way a helmet does for a human. how it would work for a dragon is difficult to say, and unlike horses dragons are a *bit* more temperamental and prone to eating people messing with their heads as well as "free spirited". Dragons are intelligent, but not sentient, and they only really tolerate their riders and no one else. I am of the belief they would despise such "protection" even then such a device would be exceptionally heavy for a singe human to put on a dragon. no way is a dragon letting a team of "squires' put that crap on them. there is also such a thing as "good enough" protection, hitting the eyes of a moving dragon with an exceptionally clunky *siege engine* is not just one in a hundred, it is one in a million. would horses have been armored if the only spot on their body that was vulnerable was the eyes? i posit that most people would likely not have bothered.

I love the threat Visenya makes to the Arryns, especially Sharra. "Reject our demands or your little son is landing ahead of us at a destination of my choosing... like a nice, hard rock or deep ravine." Pretty hard to argue against someone when she has your only child in her custody and your child is all excited about the big dragon. But he did get that promised ride and the Vale wasn't covered in fire and blood, so I guess they got off easy.
