I mean... Jon Snow did "unite" the realms for the night king even if it was a terrible season. So I wouldn't say they "ignore" it lol.

Aegon shines in every episode he is in and that credit goes to the actor. His best moment was with Sunfyre. He had four seconds of exchange with him with only looks and yet people are going crazy over it. So many analysis of their bond. The actor really sold it. And the guy who played Sunfyre too was great.

He really portrayed the depth of a broken person seemingly happy on the outside but with a deep underlying pain and loneliness and really he isn't a bad person by nature (despite some other portrayals, which i find inconsistent)

[@cecilevizcaya809]

In GOT, the prophecy was fulfilled in Jon Snow. He was sired by both ice (represented by Lyanna Stark) and fire (represented by Rhaegar Targaryen). He was able to unite kingdoms for a common goal: to defeat the White King and his army. As a man, he is both fire and ice, for he has Stark and Targaryen blood.

[@iamteo7875]

For all those saying this has nothing to do with the books. Yes, you are right. BUT, the show is canon. It's separated from the book. Same characters (almost), different action. And we got to appreciate it as it is.

Rhaenyra is more ruthless in the books than in the show. There are other mistakes more obvious than these. I'm not going to list those. This is not a criticism of the show.

Interesting that the skull of one of the Conquerors' dead dragons (Balerion and Meraxes) is present in each of these scenes. Visually and thematically tying both of them back to the days of Aegon's Conquest and the legacy he left for House Targaryen.

[@ferdijanzen4100]

Good decision to not only consult with George RR Martin, but to have him on board as a co-showrunner - he has much more creative power over House of the DRagon than over Game of Thrones (which went south as soon as the show caught up with the books)...

Idk what people except it to be but these prophecies are always not literal and they foreshadow glimpses of future and in future indeed Aegon Targaryen aka Jon Snow united the realm. He is THE SON of ice and fire, blood of a Targaryen and virtues of a Stark who knows the North like no one else. The Price that was promised. I love his arc and ending of GOT(literally how GRRM too wants btw), just wish it took a bit extra episodes.

[@playerau97]

I believe Aegon told this dream to Torren Stark so that's why he knelt. Not because of the field of fire. But because he know that a starks priority is not Westeros but the enemy to the north.

[@Queenofdragons93]

It's such an interesting story. Parts of it are true, but i feel like prophecies are usually misunderstood and a lot of the times not accurate. Uniting realms is a hard task. Aegon has his two sisters with him and dragons. After the dance of thr dragons the Targaryeans still rulled for centuries, but their power began to wane as dragons died out. Daenerys was basically alone. Sure she had a formidable army and people loyal to her, but at the end of the day it wasn't enough to gain the full support she needed. The song of ice and fire got lost and was told to others, but not all took it seriously. Jon knew and was a Targaryen, but he was also a stark and grew up a Stark. And he didn't wanto be king. Dany wanted the throne and she wanted a "good world" but she was so warped by what had happened to her. She went way beyond the 7 kingdoms. She wanted the world. At the end of the day the kingdoms were united, but it wasnt a Targaryen that sat the throne. It makes you wonder if Aegon felt like it should be a Targaryen because that was his dream.

[@aidanrogers4438]

I’m glad we saw her tell Jace this, others also speculated we would see it at some point, and I hope that after this we see Jace acting differently as Rhaenyra had, with the knowledge he possesses, and even connect it back to what Lord Cregan said to him about the Wall being there to keep out “death”.

Viserys II was Aegon's most trusted person and temporary heir - it's possible Aegon told his brother. BUT even if Viserys II knew, his own son had disatrous relationship with his own heir. So there is actually multiple moments in their family prophecy could got lost. It shoudl be also noted we actually don't know wheter and how Rhaegar knew prophecy, we only persume he learnt it on his own - it's possible he knew it all along from his father.
