Matt Smith Thinks Daemon Targaryen Would Win In a Fight vs. Jon Snow (Extended) | The Tonight Show

[@darthvaderskywalker0]

The aura and screen presence this man has.

[@migueascurra6328]

His presence on screen is brutal, wonderfully charismatic, powerful.

[@cherylbaxter8986]

Absolutely

[@sarahxsera]

Mhh hmm exactly 😭

[@kimcottingham8043]

His character hardly talks in some episodes but he is acting with his face and body

[@ImaginationStudios123]

Don't forget at the end of the day he's just a regular dude just like you and me pays bills just like you and me and it's flesh and Bones just like you and me eats food just like you and me works a job that we unfortunately don't. That's the only difference but it's only a job

[@noobiangamez4529]

All jokes aside, Daemon was born a warrior into a warrior house. His strength and experience make him deadly for Jon.

[@Alex-bz8lj]

Jon would still win cuz he defeated more powerful opponents

[@garukong.]

[@aengusog3415]

@@Alex-bz8ljno, that’s not true actually. Book wise Jon only fights fodders and in the show daemon has been fighting in a war at the steppstones for years

[@Ivbo]

@@aengusog3415…and there it is, bringing up book Jon doesn’t change the fact that they’re talking about the show…and show Jon was referred to as one do the greatest swordsmen who ever walked, and he was the only person to defeat two ancient White Walker generals in single combat, bro had the literal Night King dodging him…actual leagues beyond anything Daemon ever did as a fighter. Jon Snow (show) >>> Daemon (books & show)

[@popunkid]

For anyone who's read the books, it's not a debate: Daemon would mop the floor with Jon. George would tell you the same.

[@Ivbo]

…and for anyone who’s watched the shows (which is what they’re talking about) it’s no debate that Jon mops the floor with both book and show Daemon. - Defeated two white Walker generals in single combat. - Fought in multiple battles against great odds, killing hundreds of men himself. - Was known as one of the greatest swordsman who ever walked, a literal living legend. - Had the actual Night King dodging him in a fight. - Fought against hardened Northern armies, hardened wildlings, the Lannister forces, the army of the dead, and superhuman ancient beings. - Didn’t have the crutch of a huge dragon to fall back on his entire life. Jon Snow (show) >>> Daemon (books & show)

[@LauraGS564]

@@Ivbo no, daemon is better. he was one of the legendary swordsmen of his time. Show just invented some stuff for Jon

[@Ivbo]

@@LauraGS564 Daemon wasn’t anything close to legendary swordsman, he was the most feared man based on his rep with his dragon…a dragon he sat on for the entire war btw, he doesn’t have any real combat feats as an individual against anyone of note. Both shows are making things up for both characters in a lot of ways…but show Jon still completely outperforms Daemon as a swordsman, full stop…there’s no winning this argument.

[@sanjaykarthicks1226]

Matt is such a charismatic guy! In my opinion he has the same thing going for him as Benedict Cumberbatch: He is not everyone’s definition of “Classically Handsome” (whatever that is anyway, beauty is extremely subjective), but he has such an effortless natural charisma and a very magnetic personality that people (Me at least) can’t help but feel attracted to him. On a personal note, to my taste he’s just straight up gorgeous regardless of his personality, but I think that generally he’s charisma casts sort of a spell on people.

[@keriwebb6988]

@nameeramin4523 I have no idea about HOTD. I know that some GoT actors have done conventions, but it wasn't while the show was on air. The Doctor Who picture was a couple hundred dollars, which I could only do because I was injured at work and sued, etc. I have worked with actors in the past, and I know Matt Smith is difficult to get in the U.S. but I don't know about overseas.

They might be respecting his culture. Brits find audiences that woop and holler a bit weird.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

Well, frankly, the Tonight Show is the late night talk show with the most mainstream audience and Doctor Who is just not a mainstream show in the US. 🤷‍♀ Especially in Hollywood circles, most people know Matt from The Crown and House of the Dragon but, Doctor Who is considered more obscure. Disney is trying to make it more visible for the new series but, it's still very niche. A lot of people in Hollywood are pretty oblivious to it. So that's why Jimmy avoids mentioning Doctor Who by name 'cause it's pretty much assumed that most of the Tonight Show audience is not going to be familiar with it. Outside of sci-fi/fantasy circles, it really only has vague name recognition over here.
