[@Tvlisa0]

Many times in the show and the book states dragons are smarter than humans, I think people foget that's a George R R Martin's dragon, so it can be as magical as he wants. Then if humans can think about these things, a dragon could do it as well. Also, it may have a smaug vibe since Tolkien's basically everybody's inspiration, as said by Martin. So, it can be smart, but still look like an animal, just like humans

[@TheFallinhalo]

@@MacTac141 i wonder if it also has do with, the fact the throne has a history and legacy of its rulers meeting their end in pursuing of it, his "mother" being one of the line and one of its victims, so he sees it as a Cursed object, thats claimed the life of the only one he cared about. and destroys it.

I had forgotten how devastating that scene was; how Drogon nudges his nose against Danny's dead body as if asking her to get up, like a child asking his mother to wake up, and when he understands that she won't, he roars in pain, then his rage kicks in, and destroys the throne, the mere reason for his mother's death. It's notable that even though he never trusted Jon, Drogon didn't try to burn him, either, for being the one who stabbed Danny, it could have been because he's half Targaryen, or because he saw him as just a pawn in the Game of Thrones. He did what he "had" to do.

Dude, it remains a mistery from where the eggs from the dragons hatched came from, of course, they where given to Daenerys in Essos but, aside from that, where was the true origin of said eggs?, perhaps, in some point in the past, Valerion mated with a female dragon, and she put the eggs that would became Viseryon, Rhaegal and Drogon

The sadness in this scene shown from Drogon, in regards to his mothers death, his anger towards Jon and his intelligence is on another level. He is extremely angry at Jon and wants to kill him, decides NOPE. I'll take out what everyone has been fighting for so NO ONE can have it and Jon can sit in his misery knowing this.. But what I think this scene really showcases most of all... is the power of Drogon's "fire". At this moment all his rage, sadness, pours out of him and in his second breath of fire (crying) he melts the Iron Thrown. Jon also notices this as he looks back at what's left of it.. I think this is a nod to the book readers, as it's said... only Balerion's fire was hot enough to melt iron. I think here, the showrunners are showing exactly that. Connecting the books to the show, that Drogon is the reincarnation of Balerion. It is here, in this moment of Drogon mourning the loss of his mother, we (audience) have confirmation... Yes, Drogon is Balerion reincarnate.

It does have a certain symmetry, however. Balerion the Dread forged the Iron Throne, and Drogon - who’s been described as Balerion reborn - destroyed it.

Plot twist: The dragon takes her body to a witch who revives her. Hence, the reason he spares John's life. So that Dany can come back and get revenge herself.

[@unidentified5628]

It took Danny 8 seasons to reach that throne room and claim what she wanted. She lost her way at the last trail by valuing punishing the enemy over protecting the innocent. That cost her a lot… including her life.

[@kirraha]

This is also a reflection of the sadness in how humans used the dragons as tools of war. The dragons do not care about the throne, or power. They care for their own, the ones they concider as family. Ofc many of them loved their dragons, but then again they were used in conflicts, and died.
