“Princess Rhaenyra was a different matter. Daemon spent long hours in her company, enthralling her with tales of his journeys and battles. He gave her pearls and silks and books and a jade tiara said once to have belonged to the Empress of Leng, read poems to her, dined with her, hawked with her, sailed with her, entertained her by making mock of the greens at court, the “lickspittles” fawning over Queen Alicent and her children. He praised her beauty, declaring her to be the fairest maid in all the seven Kingdoms.” - fire and blood

I completely agree with this. The conflict between Daemon and Rhaenyra is not love because that’s indisputable, the issue is on how to approach the war. When Otto brings Alicent’s message, Daemon is ready to be done with everything right there and then, but when Rhaenyra arrives she says no and Daemon’s look is one of a hell of frustration and that reticence to get bloody early and swiftly is what will ultimately cost Rhaenyra in the end. All tragic!😢

Well the simple answer is the right answer. Daemon loved Rhaenyra. Book Daemon never abused Her. Book Daemon stood by Her till His last breath. He crowned Her as her Queen. Daemon also loved his late wife Laena and her kids especially Baela as She was as wild/mercurial as her father. Baela was tomboyish, quick to anger, provocative like Daemon so naturally loved his eldest child most. Daemon was a father figure to Jace Luke and joff as well so daddy Daemon is clearly misrepresented in the show.

​@@fightingmedialounge519 Yes Book Daemon was a whore or playboy. He married thrice and had a physical relationship with God knows how many women. Daemon was a very handsome and charming guy even in his later years. But He never harmed any of his spouses physically that includes Rhea (book Daemon didn't murdered Rhea). He loved both Laena and Rhaenyra. Even though He wasn't a faithful person, he never betrayed Rhaenyra or any of his kin. His sacrifice ultimately resulted in a posthumous Blacks victory as his son Aegon was crowned as king in fact both of his sons became kings. By the end of dance Rhaenyra's mental state gradually declined as personal losses mounted a heavy toll on her subconscious. That caused a temporary rift between Daemon and Rhaenyra but it was not something that couldn't be healed. But Rhaenyra was making various irrational decisions that made her allies become enemies. Out of sheer jealousy that Her lord husband's affection towards Nettles, She ordered to kill Nettles but Lord Manfryd knew If he tries to follow the queen's order then Daemon will burn and feed him to Carexes so out of desperation He joined The greens.

What you’ve describe is possessiveness, not love. And I haven’t gotten what I would describe as love from the show or books. That’s not to suggest that he doesn’t care for her, but he’s such a conflicted, insecure driven man, that he isn’t capable of real love. What he does loves in Rhaenyra is what he loves in himself, the idea of the Targaryen lineage. What he’s protecting isn’t her honor, but the honor of their family. None of that is actual love for her, just what she can be for him.

Daemon & Rhaenyra loved eachother absolutely. It's as you say tho, it's NOT a fairytale love. For me, it's a Soulmate/Destiny thing... They are after all the great-grandparents (however many times over, 6x?) of Daenerys, who IS the Prince(ss) That Was Promised & a part of the "Song" of Ice/Fire with Jon.

A perfect explanation of their relationship and one that completely falls in line with everything Matt Smith has ever said about their relationship. Matt's even doubled down on how much he believes daemon loves Rhaenyra because he knows certain people are gonna want to pick apart every disagreement they have moving forward. It's not a "perfect" relationship, it's toxic and chaotic af, but none of that changes the fact that at the end of the day they do love each other. Even the writers who constantly go out of their way to make daemon look bad have said as much. Could honestly go down as one of the best and most tragic (this is game of thrones after all) love stories if they stick the landing.

I truly believe that what Daemon wanted was acceptance. He was seen as a wayward prince with a hot temper, to be handled cautiously and from a distance. He was not upset that he was passed over as heir, he was upset that his brother never even considered him as an option. Despite this, he chose to support his niece, because she was the only one to accept him as he was.

The show runners/writers always had a very hard task to bring a less than 200 pages of obtuse, often conflicting versions of history into the screen and make the audience connect with the characters. HOTD can never be anything like GoT S1-S4. It is hard to have the emotional connection in HOTD characters that we felt in GoT. All the same, I enjoyed mostly what Condal did but hope he learned from very bad writing (dragon bursting forth, killing hundreds of peasants) as an example that he has done better in S2.

raduire du texte avec votre appareil photo Laena was also Daemon's niece and 2 years younger than Rhaenyra so why would it be weird for Daemon to be with Rhaenyra but it's good and he has to be with Laena???? I think that Laena should never have married Daemon because given her young age and her innocence, she could not stand up to Daemon who could impose everything on her, such as isolating herself in her house in the depths of the desert and refusing to let her see his brother Laenor. and frankly I think he didn't want to go back there because of Rhaenyra.

I personally don't think Daemon was insulted by his marriage to Rhea Royce. Daemon has non-Targaryean lovers like Mysaria and Nettles. Daemon hated Rhea because he was forced to "settle down" when he's a free spirit and he would be Rhea's consort since she was the heir to Runestone. Daemon wanted to be the main ruler, not the consort of the ruler. He still feels that way with Rhaenyra, he wants to be the ruler and Rhaenyra the consort. But does Daemon love Rhaenyra? I'd say yes but it's a fucked up kind of love. A love full of power plays, grooming, and incest.

Reasons why I root for Daemon… It has nothing to do whether you think he’s an asshole for killing his wife or you think he’s a badass for killing over 15 guys in the Battle of the Stepstones. Or because he rides Caraxes. The reason why Daemon is so cool is he excels at mostly everything. He gets things done. Viserys was the weaker brother who didn’t get things done because Otto poisoned his mind about his own brother. Otto is the real troublemaker. The keyword is mostly. HBO did give Daemon an erection problem like Tormund saying how Jon Snow had the smallest penis he had ever seen. HBO trying not to make Jon be completely perfect. Daemon being the second son failed to be king. Has never been a great and devoted husband except maybe to Laena. But if you look at his talent/skill set, he’s basically a Renaissance Man who was great at every job Viserys put him in… Swordsman? ☑️ Warrior/fighter? ☑️ Dragon rider? ☑️ Commander of the City Watch? ☑️ Master of coin? ☑️ Master of laws? ☑️ He was great as a knight, prince, protector, dragon rider, chief of police, treasurer, lawyer, and he gambled and won a lot of money from it. He was popular among the common folks, hence, Lord Flea Bottom. Then add being compassionate younger brother and loving father. Daemon wasn’t some jack of all trades but master of none. He excelled in all those jobs. That’s a cool character to enjoy and to watch. His charisma and sense of humor similar to Han Solo are just gravy. You can add dragon scholar/historian reading books on his family’s history. He was an extremely proud Targaryen. Team Green: Daemon is an asshole! He killed his wife and nobody seems to care. But when Criston kills Laenor’s gay lover, everyone hates on him! You know, Team Green/Booger, that’s true. There is a double standard that Daemon gets. But Daemon killing his first wife, was that any worse than Anakin doing what he did killing innocent children? But isn’t Anakin/Vader the most popular character in Star Wars? I think Vader is the bigger asshole but fans still worships him including me. The Joker killed and fans still love him. Loki killed and that Loki series is my all-time favorite on Disney+. Tony Stark can act like an asshole but Iron Man is still the most popular character in MCU. Same with Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai. Homelander is my favorite character in The Boys. I’m not rooting for Daemon because he’s perfect or he’s some saint. He’s far from being a saint. I root for Daemon because he’s an excellent all-around character. He’s versatile, complex, and practical to be allies with. I’m hearing Aemond this season is obsessed trying to be like his uncle. He worships him like Kylo Ren was a Sith poser because he idolized Darth Vader so much. Aemond is Daemon’s No. 1 stan. Like Kobe and LeBron idolizing Michael Jordan by imitating him, wearing his No. 23, and making a Space Jam movie. Aemond = the pretender to the throne He’s the cheap, fake imitation of the real one known as DAEMON TARGARYEN. Aemond is the most badass character from Team Green when he will never be as legendary as his uncle. Root for the wannabe but he isn’t beating the OG. Daemon = Darth Vader Aemond = Kylo Ren Daemon = Toho/Legendary Godzilla Aemond = 1998 Zilla Daemon is basically Jaime and Tyrion if they were one person. Add Bronn’s sense of humor and some Loki being a second son who wanted the throne but still loved his brother like Jaime and Tyrion had for each other. And Loki is regarded the best character in MCU. Iron Man is the more popular character but Loki had the far greater story arc.

I think he loves her... in his own way. But we've seen him going back and forth on being king himself for the whole of this season and his visions seem placed to show him that while he shouldn't want it, he still does. I think he loves the idea of being king more than he loves Rhanerya being queen. I disagree with your assesment that he could have married Leena and usurped Rhanerya's claim. It'd be one house and Daemon against the entire realm, and I'm not sure Rhaneys would have been down with setting the kingdom on fire just so her daughter could be queen. That really only leaves Damen's dragon and Seasmoke. Maybe Vahgar turns the tides, but I still don't see it not potentially ending badly for the sea snake.

I think people ask that because its not coming off on screen that he loves her deeply just that he likes that she has the crown

I think everything about the character is and will always remain vague. I've never been certain of his feelings for her in the book as well. The fact people is romanticizing the time spent when they were uncle and niece is weird, cause it's undoubtedly true the relationship is problematic. I think Daemon doesn't want the throne to the point of usurping his family and this is what make him grey, but he still having regret and frustration of been replaced by his brother. He loved his bro more than anything and has been that love who pushed him on accepting to marry Rhaenyra, he took her as his extension and that's messed up cause he doesn't see her as her own persona and Rhaenyra just wanted him cause wanted to be special for him as she says i took it as challenge, she thought she would have changed him, but she realizes that Daemon will always choose himself his way, his ideas his logic that's why his loyalty is questionable and not wholly, and makes him a double edged weapon.

Rhaenyra always reminded me of Cleopatra the Great ❤❤❤🖤🖤🖤(both were favourite daughters of their fathers, both went to war with their younger brothers, both had bastard children). I have no doubt Cleopatra and Mark Antony loved each other - buy they also both used each other to political gains. And same with Daemon and Rhaenyra - there is love, but it first and foremost political alliance.

But does Daemon love her in the way he loved Laena? He seems loyal to Laena but for Rhaenyra, it’s a total different story. Just out of curiosity, thanks for the video.

Yeah, I used to think so, but after a few decades of not being "that girl", all it got me were lazy, entitled BUMS who didn't feel that they had to *show* that they valued me, aside from helping provide the very basics that I could've handled all by myself. If a man loves you, he should *show* it, and OFTEN.

@@GeeNoniGee I agree about the showing, but there are LOTS of ways to do that! A ride on a ferry or a bike ride through the park or just making someone breakfast. Some people don't have money to spend or they are saving it up or they prefer to DO things with the people they love. All those are ok too.

"if Daemon wanted the throne, he could've taken it" & BOOM! I'm tired of delusional takes that downplay his presence with Nyra and in same breath, say he's Maegor's 2nd coming. Maegor would've taken the throne with no consideration. Daemon had a claim over the throne which was taken from him, it didn't do shit for him bc the one thing he wants, is POWER. Throne is one of the greatest sources of power but not the only one (Viserys was a king and he was a weakling). Daemon understands this. He fought for what he believed to be right, and still his legacy remains

I agree with you there. But I also agree that in the beginning. They both with bat shit crazy. They both were dark. As she got older and listened to her Father's talks. She seemed to calm down and see that Deamon only loved himself n his dragon.
