So, Vhagar is a sneak attacker. That's how she killed Arrax and now Meleys. She disappears - hide her fat a$$ and then sneak upon you.

[@beckyweiss6072]

Well she blended with the foliage surprisingly well. 😂

[@Oceanlandcomedy]

That means she is cowered Dragon 😂

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

All griping aside, there is a logic to this. Vhagar has been taken on countless military campaigns and flew with some of the most notorious dragons in all of Westerosi history. You don't survive fighting wild dragons and armies who hurl big spears into the air without learning a trick or two. Plus each time she's gotten the jump on someone she's always used some natural feature of some kind. First she used cloud cover and here she seems to have used the cliffs to obscure herself. So there does seem to be some degree of method to her sudden ambush tactics

If the dragonseeds ( Vermithor and Silverwing riders ) were already here and Rhaenyra told them to give Rhaenys a support and at peak of Vhagar is closely to attack Vermithot and Silverwing roar and throw a fire at Vhagar they prevent it, the TRIO can kill Vhagar instantly.

[@hansellancephilippe4075]

Awesomee

[@pxolzz1320]

they studied into how birds of prey fight. The entire battle symbolizes how horrible it is when dragons fly to war, and yes partly how the houses are ripping at each others throats.

[@ronniebruce4572]

That literally means the dance of the dragons. The dragon dance throughout the night in the morning no one survived

[@jaredspooner4685]

Meleys really lived up to her title as the Red Queen, one of the fastest and most fearsome of the dragons in The Dance. RIP. I think the slight grin on Rhaenys’ face when she sees Aegon and Sunfyre shows her overwhelming confidence in Meleys, as if Sunfyre poses no threat at all. Indeed, Meleys makes quick work of Sunfyre. Despite the “help” from Vhagar, Meleys has already severely wounded Sunfyre while only losing a single horn from her head, by the time Vhagar shows up. And when Meleys faces Vhagar, it’s worth noting that despite the size difference, when the dragons lock claws and spiral to the earth, it’s Vhagar who is thrown to the ground while Meleys flies away. I thinks it’s truly astounding how fearsome Meleys is and I just know Rhaenys was so proud of her. They did a fantastic job with this battle.

[@mtrunkello]

Bruh its just a tv show stop with the middle school essay lol

In the books, meleys caught sunfyre by the the neck and sunfyre caught meleys by the same but then Aemond shows up from above and descended upon The Red Queen and tores up her left wing. Causing the two to fall. It's just that quick. So for the tv show, they had to make Rhaenys have a "girl boss farewell" style

That part… she fat & slow at this point. So it’s always a sneak crunch/much for her

She lost track of her enemy and/or did not verify the kill. That mistake cost her and her dragon their lives.

Technically her compassion dooms her and her dragon. She could've roasted the entire Green family in season 1 but did not. She didn't confirm the kill here either. But I have to say its fucking silly that I watched several scenes of Vhagar stumbling and struggling to even move suddenly get assassin kills like this. How on Earth is a dragon that heavy and cumbersome just hiding behind a castle and flying with agility like that? I'd expect more battling and eventually winning because she is massive and can withstand more attacks. Her gigantic and powerful jaws getting a good bite ends the battle. This ninja stuff is just silly.

The thing that is completely illogical, is that any normal rider, any of us, if we were to fight like this, would never turn eyes away from our enemy. Imagine flying away from fallen vhagar and not constantly turning your head back to see whats going on. By not doing it you would lose battle orientation, and endanger your life, which unless you are really stupid, you would understand. Watching your enemy, even if you cant see through smoke, you still look for movement, which you would obviously see. For me, cinematically this was 10/10. Battle realism, 3-4/10.

In most fictional stories dragons blood is very hot so not really a surprise

[@refulgent_fanta]

@@DarioDenny I know dragon blood was hot in the books. When Drogon was speared in Daznak’s Pit, his blood partially melted the tips. Daenerys rips out a spear after she climbs him. The tip was half melted and glowing hot. So we know the internal temperature of a dragon is at least 450 C (900 F), because that's when iron starts to glow red. I just don’t remember if they ever made this aspect clear in the TV shows.

[@limbo1595]

This scene was heartbreaking first with the unexperienced Sunfire who was more like a puppy to Eagon than a dragon , and the way he was screaming in pain and trying to just hide and defend himself and his master brought tears to my eyes and the death of Meyless and Rheyness made me literally sobe for like half an hour , I felt the pain of the dragons as if they were reel creatures and it really broke my heart so from now on I'm not watching any dance of the dragons scenes, because mentally I'm on the edge and i don't need something to push me forward.

[@AerionTargaryen24]

Sunfyre was his dragon egg he had at birth so they naturally bonded with each other. Aegon was way to in over his head when battling rhaenys and meleys, who had much more age and battle experience than they had. And aegon wasn't thinking like a leader should have, he made several mistakes especially pissing off your strongest ally aemond and vhagar, who are literally the only things that are keeping you from closer to the grave. It's also his fault his council is bad he got rid of his best support, his grandfather Otto as hand of the king and gwayne his uncle as lord commander. He should have waited and brought daeron and tessarion to have more dragons since rhaenyra still had at least 8 too their 3 since helaena isn't going to ride dreamfyre ever. So I feel bad but a little bit, aegon was very foolish.

Rhaenys took her chance, and she lost. As far as she knew, Aegon and Sunfrye were dead or dying. She tangled with Vhagar and managed to get her to the ground relatively unharmed. Not only that, there's no way Vhagar could catch up with Meleys. She could have retreated back to Dragonstone, but she didn't. If there was even the slighest chance she could kill Vhagar, the war would be over at that point, even more so if she killed Aemond too. She turned around to look for Vhagar, hoping she was still on the ground. Unfortunately, Vhagar was back in the sky and all it took was one good hit to end the fight then and there. She took a chance, and lost. God speed Rhaenys.

Great scene! But making Vhagar, the biggest dragon in the world kill her by another sneak attack? Seems kind of forced. In the sky with all that cloud cover it made total sense, but here, even with all that smoke her gigantic ass isn't hiding, especially not with how they made Rooks Rest. It's a teeny castle, Vhagar was standing proud above Stormsend's curtain wall. I know Rhaenys had to die here, but narratively speaking I think it would have been just as satisfying to watch Rhaenys, the most experienced dragonrider lose after an extremely hard fight, and for Aemond to use that to bolster his bravado in the coming campaign. Knowing what comes later I feel like it would pay off when he has the wind taken out of his sails.

[@1slummzzs]

Very much agree. It started off well.. rhaenys took a dive under Vhagar, locked with her so she can’t snap her neck n they tried to kill the rider by breathing fire… But that ending, just didn’t make sense.

Yes, whatever asset Vhagar brings, stealth is not one of them. You can't hide such a large dragon behind battle lines. Unless Rhaenyra is too dumb to have any scouts or messengers. Many would have seen Vhagar flying from Kings Landing hundreds of miles to Rook's Rest.

Not really Vhagar is tank and that's when you realize Vhagar was the smallest out of the original three during the Conquest.

But she went out like a champ and I'll give credit to her. Meleys is easily the fastest dragon however at the end in terms of brute force the dragon had nothing against Vhagar.

[@PrinceDaeronTheDaringTargaryen]

@@sankalpsankrityayan9240 Yes, Meleys would of counterattacked but in a sense so did Sunfyre and it did little damage head on. Size in fights do matter even with dragons there are weight classes in the UFC for a reason. We saw how stupidly Aegon went head on and attacked Meleys which is team blacks largest current dragon larger than Caraxes and the bigger dragon used brute force and made swift work of them. Had Aegon baited Meleys into a chase and had Vhagar attack her from behind than Sunfyre may of had a chance and got of the fight unscathed. But lets be real here Vhagar is 3 times Meleys size when it comes down to it Vhagar will win. That's like saying we have the worlds strongest man and put him aganist a polar bear and when polar bears stand up that can get it up to 10 feet or 12 feet sure the worlds strongest man may put up a fight but ultimately the bigger and stronger creature wins when it comes down to brute force. If Meleys kept her distance and used her dragons speed to manuever and try burning Aemond that would practically render Vhagar useless but thats really the only way I see Meleys winning against Vhagar by burning their rider.
