@@TheV8Pumpkin I'm glad! I'm doing a reread of the main books and there's no end to how much you can take little things for clues. I always thought the theory came a bit out of nowhere that Varys is a potentially a Blackfyre, but the first time we meet him is through Catelyn's POV and he's wearing a gown of purple silk, his breath smells like lilacs and his head is shaved like an ''Egg'' (Aegon V also did this as child to go incognito). He strangely asks Cat if she *burned* herself when he very much knows that it was the Valyrian steel dagger that damaged her hand, not burns. He then asks her to see the dagger, picks it up and runs his finger along the edge (again, knowing that the dagger is Valyrian steel!) and draws his *blood* ''by accident''. That's a whole lot of purple, a mention of fire through burns and drawing blood on something Valyrian. You could of course argue that these are all coincidences but it's harmless fun to try and piece clues together ;)

The problem between Aemond and Daemon in this battle was that Daemon knew he would die which is why he was ok with leeping from one dragon to another to slay Aemond, who was expecting to come out of this battle alive because of the two previous engagements he had with Rhaeneys and Lucerys. He was way too confident that he would come out on top.

@asp5399 In fire and Blood Daemon was very adamant about avoiding dragon on dragon battle because it would for sure result in death for almost anyone involved.

One doesn't need to be a genius to know this was a suicide mission by Daemon. He purposefully didn't saddle himself to Caraxes. Aemond was proud and overconfident, he expected to survive, that's why he saddled himself to Vhagar. When Vhagar clawed Caraxes belly open, Daemon would have known he was surely done, but he was never going to let Aemond live. I see this as a victory for Daemon, because he achieved his goal by removing Aemond from the equation. Aemond was a mad dog, causing mayhem wherever he went.

The sheer kamikaze audacity of Caraxes. He doesn't get enough credit. Ofcourse, Daemon had the most dragon knowledge among everyone else during that period. He spent a long time alongside Vhagar, saw him growing up, then flew alongside with Laena. He always had a plan and chose Caraxes for a reason. Caraxes may have been born deformed but that deformity gave him powers (other than the deviated septum making cute noises). Extra wings allowed more agility and faster flight with a serpentine long body. This guy knew it meant death to go against Vhagar but did it anyway. Burying his entire jaw against her throat and having her in a chokehold, even while getting his own belly and wing torn. What a brave, absolutely diabolical dragon.

What always bothered me is that though Daemon managed to remove the greens greatest asset in Aemond/Vhagar he in favor got rid of the blacks greatest asset by killing himself/Caraxes. With his death, Rhaenyra’s death was now only certain. Personally if I were Daemon, I would’ve told Rhaenyra to kick rocks and not send Nettles away keeping to the original plan of hunting down Aemond together.
@aswinastro22 күн бұрын
That would have not worked. Rhaenyra had already been paranoid and had asked to kill every bastard dragon rider after the treacherous deeds of Hugh and Ulf, who rode Vermithor and Silverwing. Even if Daemon had refused, it was only a matter of time before Rhaenyra became enraged and did something more stupid. After all. she literally buried herself by loosing allies left, right and center with her stupid and impulsive behavior. The Dance of Dragons aptly describes how madness and arrogance runs deep in both sides of the Targareyen factions. Hence, it was only apt where both were extinguished at the end with only innocent children left to rule a throne, leading to Maesters taking control and completely rewriting Targareyen history and supposedly killing Dragons for ever.

I did always wonder why this wasn't what she did. But i think it comes down to two factors. If Hugh and Ulf had teamed up with Aemond it would have been game over for the blacks in terms of Dragons. But i think the biggest factor that determined why events transpired the way it did is Daemons seemingly personal vendetta with Aemond. He wanted to be the one to end Aemond. But there is also another way to look at it. I think it is also fair to ask the question of how much Rhaenyra really could trust Daemon, a man who has always made choices to give himself the most power.

It’s so weird & I’m so curious how the show is going to actually write these characters b/c if they end up trying to write it as Nettles being the “home wrecker” after they’ve clearly established in season 1 that all Daemon ever wanted was to be by his brothers side to serve as his hand and restore House Targaryen to its proper glory only to have him abandon that in the middle of the war he was paramount in starting (especially after the clear distinction between his views & Rhaenyra’s views in the season finale before Luke’s death which is clearly different from the books) for a dragon seed side piece while his children are dying and his wife & queen (that he literally pined away for for over a decade & then finally gets her & marries her the way he wanted in the way of old Valyria) is falling apart it will not play well on screen for the audience at all. Not with everything they’ve established on the show in season 1. And they showed him having sex w/ Mysaria in ep1 but even then he “couldn’t finish” & he hasn’t been w/ her since. I know a lot of my fellow book readers want to keep referring to show Daemon as the same unfaithful book Daemon but the show runners have clearly established a character that was faithful to Laena & is faithful to Rhaenyra. It hasn’t shown him to be someone going around whoring about with women & even clearly having an impotence issue so I honestly don’t see them suddenly having him starting up a sexual relationship with Mysaria again. Also, people will just end up hating Nettles if she comes in & it’s like she takes him away from Rhaenyra & his kids & I don’t want that b/c she is so awesome. I’d honestly love it if she ends up being more of a daughter to both Daemon & Rhaenyra & sister to their kids. Like they kind of just adopt her & take her in as one of their own. And that she never even travels alone with Daemon but others are with them on dragons when they are together. I think we’ve already seen that the show is staying pretty true to the source material while also showing us that it was definitely told from perspectives that knew the outcomes but had no idea of the actual truthful events that took place. I really hope they know the story they want to tell & they really do know what they are doing because I did enjoy season 1 & I very much want to come back to an epic season 2 that I won’t end up hating. Hopefully they know the story that will play well on screen to the audience & they will continue to write these characters so well that we’ll keep coming back for more. I honestly cannot wait for Cregan Stark!

Kinda crazy that Aemond was found on Visenya’s dragon with her sword in his skull. What’s even crazier is GRRM probably didn’t even do that intentionally the history is just that rich and descriptive these things come up.
@B04Leverkusen782 жыл бұрын
Daemon told Nettle to wait for him in Volantis after the battle. Like GRRM said before; Daemon existed for a purpose. My opinion his purpose only to give Rhaenyra; younger Aegon and Viserys II. We all know, (Viserys II) will carry that family line all the way to Jon Snow and Daenerys. The Aegon’s prophecy (prince and princes united all kingdoms against the Night king)

I'm sure Daemon survived. Since his body is missing in the book, this gives a perfect twist opportunity for the show. I can see it happening, last scene of the finale: Daemon as an old man with a pregnant Nettles in a small village or a cave and Sheepstealer is sleeping near them.

I think they would go to the Vale. In the main series there is a clan called the Burned Men in the Vale who were said to have worshipped a fire witch. This could be Nettles and her dragon. It would also be ironic for Daemon to go back to the place he hated so much when he was married to his first wife.

Vhagar was the only weapon the Greens had and their only chance of holding on to power existed while Vhagar lived. Aemond was going to get himself killed eventually, having Vhagar prevented people moving against him so only a Targaryen with a sufficiently powerful dragon was a threat without Vhagar Aemonds death would have been easy with any amount of planning. Daemon dealt a major blow to the Greens where the Blacks had more cards to play so Daemon whether he lived or not doesnt change that he won.

I'm calling it now, Condal is going to change this scene in the show. When Daemon jumps onto Vhagar, Aemond will first fatally stab him in the belly but with a final ounce of strength, Daemon will drive dark sister through Aemond's eye and skull. Daemon then falls off Vhagar who is getting her throat ripped by Caraxes but not before she breathes one final flame so hot that it obliterates and evaporates Daemon's body hence why his corpse is never found.

I think this is maybe the only scene they won't change, I think daemons body will not be filmed and so it keeps his end mysterious (even though he's obviously dead) Although, I think it's quite likely caraxes will convincing kill Vhagar in the show compared to the book, I imagine caraxes will live to the shore whereas Vhagar will be dead mid air
@thalmoragent9344 Жыл бұрын
People act as if this fight was a "victory" in a way that they interpret it. It was a loss for both sides, all 4 combatants died. As for the Dragons themselves? I mean, technically Vhagar still annihilated Caraxes in that fight... I'd say Vhagar won her duel with Caraxes. Vhagar isn't the one who got her wing ripped off and chest area torn apart. Whether Caraxes lived for an extra 5 minutes or not seems moot. As for tactics: Daemon had to resort to suicide in order to take Aemond down with him, so that shows how much of a threat Aemond and Vhagar were. Still, a tragic loss for House Targaryen either way
@jayz3272 Жыл бұрын
Vhagar was the main threat to the blacks. The greens main threat was daemon. Aemond said it himself. This fight just shows of that aemond relied on his dragon the whole time and thought just because his dragon was the biggest, he didn’t have to do anything. Well that backfired with daemon actually using his brain and made aemond feel in last moments absolute terror. When ppl talk about this fight, they said daemon went out epic and a badass. They don’t say that about aemond in this battle lul

This gross generalization of all Blacks being good and noble and all Greens being canniving and treacherous is so misleading, Aemond did his duty as a younger brother in the books he never tried to burn Aegon on purpose, there have been these minor tweaks by the showrunners to portray all blacks as righteous, Rhaenyra's infidelity is not an issue but Alicent's is, Daemon ordering the killing of a babe is justified however Sir Criston Cole breaking his chastity vows is a very big deal, this is hypocrisy at its finest.

They won't be able to keep it up forever without angering their whole fanbase. Rhaenyra becomes way too unhinged towards the end for them to keep twisting history in her favor. Nor do I think they will, they really sold the idea of her slowly going mad with "divine purpose" during the dragonseed episode, so it seems they're taking it in that direction, or so I hope.

Addam will stop there before tumbleton and he will see Daemon, but no one else will ever know. Story wise, I dont think this will do much.

@@MaverickOrtaeo1 It would be dumb fan service ! What makes this story so powerful and realistic is precisely that no one is protected and no character has a destiny. Daeron Targaryen is probably the most promising character in the Dance and yet he dies anonymously killed without his body being identified, Criston Cole is nicknamed the Kingsmaker and he dies in an inglorious way before he can even fight his enemies , Alicent Hightower is the most important queen in the history of Westeros and she survives the Dance of the Dragons to die a few years later from a fever, Corlys Velaryon is one of the greatest characters in the history of Westeros and he dies of a common cardiac arrest on the stairs. Yes, Daemon is a warrior of legend, and his death is memorable, yet his body certainly ends up devoured by fish, simply because this story constantly reminds us that beyond all legends, these characters are only mere humans made of flesh and blood.
