Battle under the Gods eye will be the most watched episode in history. Production just proved they can pull off dragon fights. Also imagine how big Balerion would look like on screen. Holy shit

That’s the episode I was most worried about but holy shit this episode proved they can pull it off to perfection.

I cant wait for this at all :D its sadly not gonna happen this season yet but yeah I have to say that Sunfyre is such a cutie , Meleys was fierce but Vhagar is staright up terrifying :D someone called her "an evil b*tch" and I agree :D

Aegon was like “brother! Help!“ Aemond was like “Remember you and your buddies were laughing at me yesterday? Yeah screw you dracarys😂

Just Like Lion King Aemon :--" Long Live The King !"

[@BigB0ss00]

it was only Aegon who laughed

[@rexibhazoboa7097]

I doubt that was the only reason he attacked Aegon. Aegon bullied him his whole life.

[@myasuniverse1327]

For Rhaenys' reasoning, It is stated in Fire&Blood that Rhaenys/Meleys might have had a good chance of taking Vhagar/Aemond. Show Wise, she probably also believed that along with her regret of not doing it earlier but also Vhagar is Team Black's biggest threat and likely wanted to die trying.

[@HK-gm8pe]

Meleys was the fastest dragon in the realm , she could have flown away but I took it as...she didnt dracays the greens when she had the chance and now she tried to make up for it cause she knew that if she manages to at least wound Vhagar enough that could end the war

[@nullakjg767]

it was her duty to defend the castle. simple as that. if she fled thats all the banner men would remember.

[@tuber7081]

I think most people just underestimate Meleys and don’t realize just how much of a threat she is. It’s frustrating

[@JohnSmith34115]

Why would it be a good chance taking Vhagar/Aemond down? So, you understand Vhagar is biggest threat. That is why Rhaenys should have retreated after Aegon fell to secure bigger dragon advantage. Regroup and fight together with Rhaenyra and Daemon and kill Vhagar. 3vs1 is good no? Why risk 1v1? Now that Rhaenys died. Her grandchildren will have to fight in her place and die as well. It makes no sense for her to suicide herself and now risk her grandchildren to die too. This completely goes against her character being wise and paitent. This something you would expect Daemon to do after killing a child.

[@nullakjg767]

@@JohnSmith34115 I agree it makes more sense to retreat and come back with more dragons, but her character is very rigid and listens to her queen even when it makes no sense to do so. She was ordered to defend the castle, so she died trying. Also her character is misrepresented in the show as very wise in patient. shes still a targaryen. Same with rheanyra, they write her as if she isnt one.

[@hepunk]

"Princess Rhaenys made no attempt to flee. With a glad cry and a crack of her whip, she turned Meleys toward the foe." - "Beloved daughter of Lady Jocelyn Baratheon and Prince Aemon Targaryen, faithful wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, mother and grandmother, the Queen Who Never Was lived fearlessly, and died amidst blood and fire...."

[@okdude8215]

Retribution fot the dead smallfolk.

[@dewantoroo]

They should've done this and it'll have the same impact (or maybe even more) than this battle scene which at some parts completely make no sense to me. Famously enormous (and slow) dragon fell into the ground instantly gone without rhaenys noticing her movement. It's either they decided to make Vhagar have insane camouflage ability and make her fast or they decided to dumb down rhaenys. I like the book version better where she see two dragons approaching her and still fearlessly attack them both.

[@Kimbrell]

She had a chance to secure Aegon's death... She also knows she is the best chance vs. Vhagar... she took a good chunk and took her down!

[@dominiccastro6483]

She was a fool! She should have retreated the moment she saw Vhagar take the field. If she had just settled for taking out sunfyre and retreated they could have engaged vhagar at a later time with both meleys AND caraxes!

[@ProperlyGaming]

​@dominiccastro6483 caraxes don't need the help.

[@smittyDXPS3]

I think there's also regret. She had a chance to end the war in Episode 9 during Aegon's coronation but didn't, now she has a chance to make up for that.

[@khalduras784]

@@dominiccastro6483 At the same time she also would send a message to the rest of their own followers that when push comes to shove, the targaryens theyre fighting for would abandon them. After all, lord staunton was one of their biggest supporters and someone who was on Queen Rhaenyra's council. While the decision to turn and fight back was a major gamble likely fueled more so by her own dragonrider ego and emotions over what Daemon has been telling her, its a lose lose situation for the Blacks which is the point of Cole's strategy.

[@ProperlyGaming]

​@smittyDXPS3 yeah, she sees the battle field beneath her and for sure is remembering that out of honor she chose not to resort to kinslaying when she absolutely should've during the coronation. She chose to go down f8ghting like all the vessels who are staying loyal to their queen, because it is her fault they now are warring so heavily.

[@wonderwomanmillow2281]

Theories: 1. Rhaenys knew she would die, 2. She tried to kill the biggest danger to avoid a bigger war, 3. If she would´t kill Vhagar then she just tried to wound her as much as she could, so the other dragons of the Black would have a better chance to win, 4. She believed that Aegon was killed by Aemon and realised how dangerous Aemond is and will be as the new king. R.I.P. Mah Kween❤ I don´t like Aegon but I somehow feel sorry for him, he was played and betrayed by his own brother. I love the way how Tom Glynn-Carney plays him.

[@snappingbear]

Nah, she was a woman who watched too many absurd films and TV programs that showed 120 pound women beating up 220 pound men. She grossly overestimated her abilities especially against a man and foolishly paid the ultimate price.

[@manavkhandurie]

I think its more like I m one of the most seasoned warrior in my team , if anyone has a chance of taking out vagar right now its probably me , so lets go . The war was lost blacks had no chance to taking out vagar at all , but even if there is a chance of taking aemond out , its worth it so she went for it . Obviously Vagar is Vagar , one of the 3 dragons that conquered westros , aint no way he was gonno loose

[@BoxHeadMidus]

I love that the council scene where Aegon yells about needing to be informed of things so he doesn't look like a fool comes back. If Cole and Aemond had told them of their trap, he probably would have stayed put.

[@robertfishburn8545]

First time actually being a king, and he gets absolutely wrecked, and his best friend/pet getting horribly injured. Almost feel bad, almost

[@rogtiz6006]

Aegon is actually right about being informed

[@smittyDXPS3]

There may not be anyone or anything at Harrenhal, but you better believe it's important. Why do you think Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister use it as their base of operations? It's the biggest castle in the realm, even half burnt, and it's the centerpiece of the Riverlands. Whoever holds Harrenhal, holds the most strategically viable castle in the kingdom. It's just that outside of a big war and royal tournaments, it's not really that useful.

[@aj897]

Whoever holds it has power because of the woods on the castle grounds……

[@manavkhandurie]

It can hold like a million soliders acc to the lore and even when broken , its a great station for troops , its at the centre of westeros and even tough its cursed , its useful in the war

I think what daemon said to rhaenys sticked to her when daemon said she could've ended the war before it started when she escaped kings landing. Now rhaenys didn't try to escape and tried to take down hopefully Aemond and Vhagar. To add to that, when Rhaenys saw what Aemond did to his brother, she knew Aemond is crazy and have to die cause he'll just continue to bring destruction. Also to add, maybe she couldn't stand Vhagar her daughter previous dragon on the hand of a lunatic like Aemond.

This is my perpective on why Rhanys never fled the fight . . . Because even we assume Aegon was dead, the real treat against the black was Aemond and Vhagar. Much more Rhaneys herself saw how twisted the mind Aemond has. He had no second thought burning his own king , his own brother . In Rheneys perpsective, even though Aegon was dead in the process, the war will never be stop. Aemond is the major treat. So she had to act and try to atleast do some big damage agaidnt Aemond and Vhagar, if not possible kill them.

[@Rocket1377]

Exactly. She saw this as her best opportunity to end the war now, and prevent any more bloodshed on either side. With both Aegon and Aemond's dragons dead, the Greens would have to surrender. She knew she would probably fail, but she had to try.

[@moja-mojahh.jpeg.9829]

@Rocket1377 she could have fled, save both her life and her dragon , and just play the long game. But the others need to realize that the chance to take down Vhagar and Aemond is now , or there will never be a chance . She atleast taken down the largest dragon on the ground and realized it as an opportunity to do some serious damage to Vhagar. The way I saw it, Rhanys, after Vhagar went aground, could fire or kill its rider Aemond, that could have atlest left Vhagar riderless. That's her chance and she must try atlest. Unfortunately the plan didn't work ,but atleat we knew where she's coming from.

House Blackwood has a Major character in the original A Game of Thrones show. It was mentioned in the show but light spoiler warning since some of the info was cut from the show. Bran figured out that the Three-Eye Crow is Brynden Rivers, The Bloodraven, a bastard of a house Blackwood mother and Targaryen king Aegon the IV. Bloodraven served as hand of the king for 2 kings before going to the wall, then disappearing beyond the wall and becoming the Three-eye Crow.

[@beaniemanmg9134]

You must know, Harrenhal is in the most strategic area in Westeros, its stood in the heart of Westeros and Harren the black made sure he has every advantage against an army of men. The great towers of Harrenhal can see through miles and miles. Its has the trade routes and boat routes and it is gathered by almost black supporters, getting Harrenhal means gaining control of almost everyrhing. Its a no brainer why everyone contests the occupation of Harrenhal when there's a war in Westeros. At that point Aemond is right, taking Rook's Rest does contain Dragonstone and leaving fewer safe routes.

If was so funny seeing non book readers hyped up that Rhanys is going to rook's rest, the rest of us book readers were like🙃

[@redtaipei]

My thoughts: Rhaeny’s had to protect that castle at all costs because of the strategic location it holds thus the Queen’s decision to send their strongest piece available in absence of Daemon. If Cole controlled it means they would have (correct me if I’m wrong) Dragonstone surrounded, strengthening Green’s position and weakining Black’s; possible checkmate scenario. If she fled, she would have lost the castle plus her chance of killing Aemond/Vhagar and Cole (removing the 2 strongest pieces on the board). From chess standpoint, it was a calculated risky move but considering the options, I would have taken it since the payoff is ending Cole and Aemond in one move and ending the war.

I dont think we will see cannibal cause he woudnt be used in the story but if we go by lore cannibal survives the dance by not participating and leaves dragon stone later , dany in the books sees a dragon bone , which is massive ,in the desert . Moreover its rumored that cannibal wasnt a targryan dragon but a dragon that was at Dragonstone before they ever came . So seeing all this that means cannibal would have had time to grow larger than balerion and vagar even if he lived say 50yrs after dance

It's probably because the showrunners really trying to give rhaenys and meleys "cool" send off. So they need to work away around how they're going to finish them off. It makes sense when Vhagar sneakily chomp Arrax in a storm-cloudy environment... But instantly gone after she fall to the ground without rhaenys noticing her movement is kind of stupid to be honest. Vhagar is enormous and slow.

⁠@@dewantoroo a few more serious scraps would have made more sense than another sneak attack. This would have made her look like a true bad ass than that pit move from season 1

[@apollolancer78]

Rhaenys did what she needed to be done. She missed her chance to burn during Aegon's coneration. She went down like a gangsta when she mortally wounded Vhagar and Sunfyre, so she knew what she was doing and martyred herself.😢

[@CodeeXD]

She didn't mortally wound vhagar lmao she barely scratched her and got bodied for her trouble.

[@apollolancer78]

@@CodeeXD Well she did wound Vhagar at some point, it you it's barely a scratch, but any wounds to the belly would slow down Vhagar for future kill. Perhaps a better shot for someone to take down Vhagar next dragon battle.

Why haven't you uploaded the mark Wahlberg Transformers movies yet? They're just as good as the original trilogy.

I hate this happened to maybe the only character I really liked in this show but she knew she had to really take advantage of this opportunity and show their allies that they weren't just hiding in dragonstone

Who else was literally yelling at the TV/phone telling rhaenys to GTFO of there as soon as she felled vhagar for the moment I just kept yelling even though I already read the books I really liked her character she was badass asf rip to the would be queen, the queen who never was xx

[@fluffylittlebear]

I wish Rhaenys went along with Daemon's plan for them both to go and take down Vhagar. If she listened to him, she would probably still be alive. Vhagar would be no match against both Meleys and Caraxes.

[@andrewyakovlev9710]

Apparently so, as we know, Caraxes alone was enough to take down Vhagar, meaning Caraxes and Meleys together would absolutely obliterate Vhagar

[@jainelson8840]

Love the denim jacket! ❤️

[@housebased7]

Ant at the beginning of the ep: I bet Aegon is gonna die Ant after Aegon *presumably* dies: I didn’t expect that at all😮

[@AndrewSnarls]

Rhaenys dying was the most upsetting because of how much I grew to like the character.

[@slis3578]

4:11 What can she do? The council was already planning on crowning Aegon even before his death and the misunderstanding with his last words to Alicent. It was always going to happen. The lords of the realm didn’t want Rhaenyra. It was basically a vote JUST like they VOTED in Viserys in the first damn place over Rhaenys. Jaherys knew that if the lords of the realm didn’t vote their next king (because his sons were all dead and the only heir would have been Rhaneys) there would have been civil war and he didn’t want that. Viserys should have done the same thing.. but nope held onto his delusions over the good of the realm. IF they have a shit about the prophecy of Ice and Fire then it shouldn’t matter who’s on the throne just as long as they can lead the people. A civil war would destroy that.

[@jjosifovic]

Arguably the greatest episode of the series so far because every scene mattered. I wouldn’t say criston Cole is a villain, criston is just the villains to the blacks which happen to be our protagonist. If we look at body count Rhaenys is more evil than criston considering how many innocents she killed in episode 9. Rhaenys plan was to win the battle she didnt expect both dragons to be there n the reason y Rhaenys didn’t retreat because the reward was well worth the risk. RIP my favorite live action female Targaryen.

[@laza0202]

Hahaha she's more evil than criston? Even w that nonsense of ep 9 she's not more evil than him, besides, that scene was just for the sake of cool unexpected moment since they got no interesting scene to add in the finale of that ep. But they fucked since it was nonsense

[@jjosifovic]

@@laza0202she killed hundreds or thousands of people for no reason n cole has killed two before season 2……of course she is more evil lol What makes criston Cole evil or more evil than rhaenys?

Meleys could've defeated Vhagar but Rhaeneys's hesitation to be a kinslayer and willingness to die (caz of her children's death and husband's infidelity) brought her demise. But it's okay, Rhaeneys lived a full life, fought valiantly 2v1, crippled Aegon and died a dragonrider's death.
