The Dragon that made Aemond & Vhagar Flee Dragonstone

Here's the thing. These YT content creators usually have the worst & the most retarded takes. I've learnt this watching them for more than a decade now. If you have seen a good number of shows for a legit good number of years, or just consumed a good number of stories you'd know that it was just from the situation & Aemond's instinct that he knew he was too far out & going towards enemy territory. He didn't need to see the looming danger with his own eye to confirm that he was being baited into a trap. Anyone with half a brain would turn around in that situation. Since Aemond is already a very cunning person, it was obvious that he made that choice. I don't understand why people bring his sight into this scenario. You don't need eyes, just a good brain. As for GoT's Dany's situation, it was just dogshit writing. She knew but still flew into danger & got her dragon killed.

She definitely did....all strategy

[@wafflingmean4477]

To be honest I don't think Ulf even meant to show off. I think Silverwing just got excited and since they both have known King's Landing as home she went back there for fun. But definitely right that Rhaenyra didn't order it. After the ambush Aemond sprung at Rook's Rest, if Rhaenyra was going to bait out Vhagar she'd do it a lot more carefully, and almost certainly use Syrax or Moondancer to bait the trap (Vermax would serve too but Rhaenyra's not going to put Jace in harm's way that directly). Both are fast and small enough, with experienced enough riders to evade Vhagar and scorpion bolts long enough to isolate Vhagar away from King's Landing where the other dragons could emerge from hiding to surround Vhagar.

[@vegforlife]

I think he’s lucky Vhagar listened since she didn’t seem to quick to turn around. She has a track record for doing what she wants and she was clearly calling for all the smoke. 😂

[@wafflingmean4477]

I like that it shows Vhagar is tactical to a degree though. No chance Aemond can dissuade Vhagar from attacking Arrax who's barely the size of her head, but she can be talked out of facing Vermithor, Silverwing and Syrax combined, even if she'd prefer to just go for it in a blaze of glory.

Nah Ulf got on Silverwing and they were right there at the exit of the pits when they met each other, you can see that with all the daylight and the huge opening in that whole scene... and Silverwing is a jokester and took him for a ride he wasn't expecting. Rhaenyra didn't even know Ulf had gotten Silverwing yet til she went outside. And the dragon next to her was Seasmoke not Syrax, Addam was on Seasmokes back riding him in the scene. And the point of the whole scene was to show all of Rhaenyra's new dragons that can be used in war now, not Syrax and 2 of the 3 (soon to be 4 but no one there knows about Bhaela and Sheeostealer yet)

The Silverwing downplay. Jaehaerys once said that no threat in the world could challenge the might of Vermithor AND Silverwing together after 3 Dragon Eggs got stolen. Silverwing may be a docile Dragon, very friendly and kind. But make no mistake, underestimate her in battle and you're dead. Even with a newbie rider, Silverwing is a threat to any Dragon in the skies. She probably would lose 1v1 with Vhagar, but add in any other adult Dragon and she wins.

Vhagar would have lost to Caraxes and Melyes together. 2v1 for dragons is pretty OP, as when they lock together they are immobile and defenseless. She might have won against Syrax and Vermax, but even adding Seasmoke into the fright would probably meant doom for the old dragon. Vermithor and any other dragon together would likely win against Vhagar alone. All 5 dragons combined was a fight Vhagar couldn't hope to achieve anything in.

The validation and logic the books give is sound enough we don't need to search for hidden reasoning - Vermithor is the second largest. Aemond would probably, given the chance, have taken the opportunity to attack Vermithor if it was just Vermithor and new mystery rider but Aemond is an intelligent character and at any sign of being outmatched or the odds slipping out of his favour for any reason - he would flee.

What we forget is that Vermithor was really fucking huge for his age. He's 95 yrs old and probably about 80% of the size Balerion had during conquest while being 120-130 yrs old. If the dragons grew linearly then he'd be even bigger than Balerion if given enough time. But I doubt they do, so I'd say he wouldn't be able to outgrow him, also taking into account that Balerion felt the magic of Valyria. Still, at ~150 yrs Vermithor would probably be conisderably larger than peak Vhagar and not that much smaller than peak Balerion.

[@octoberboiy]

Honestly Rhaenyra and the blacks keep missing opportunities to take out Aemond and Vhagar when they should know that they are the biggest threats in that war. When Daemon was still on dragon stone he and Rhaenys should’ve made plans to fight Vhagar in the same way they did in this scene. Send Daemond over on Caraxes and lure Aemond out of the city with Vhagar then Meleys and Caraxes attack the old dragon at the same time. But even if they didn’t, Rhaenyra had another opportunity to surprise attack Aemond in this scene. She should’ve been on dragon back with Syrax, Addam on Seasmoke, Hugh on Vermithor and Ulf on Silverwing luring Vhagar to the island. As soon as he was in sight they should’ve rushed at him all 4 at the same time and taken Vhagar out.

she would of lost badly lol. the element of surprise wasnt there as they saw it coming and expected it. 4+ dragons is going to tear her to pieces

[@abhaykanaujia9856]

Everyone is forgetting about the demon's dragon caraxes I think he is the most powerful dragon because everyone thinks first to fight against vagar Everyone thinks that if vermithor or silver wing both can defete vagar but Caraxes defete vagar in one on one battle so I think he is the most powerful dragon ...

[@jaybirddiyandsafaris5847]

I'm pretty sure that all flew over the city because his friends told him to and he didn't think it caused problems because he didn't think about it

[@shanmurry5322]

"his eyes blazed...." His eyes? His nickname is Aemond one-eye lmao

[@jbrcook01]

Aemond is TECHNICALLY Prince Regent.

[@jdoveyk9422]

No one ever thought about just taking Vhagar out by sending in a load of poisoned sheep or feeding him an exploding egg? I really feel they missed it on this but I guess that wouldn’t have let them develop the bastard seed army of dragon riders.

[@Dereks3982]

I dont get it what makes people think that ulf was send to kings landing. You can clearly see him still covered in all that stuff from cave so its the same day he tamed silverwing and he doesnt know any commands yet, its moste likely the same thing that we had with aemond in s1 riding vhagar where he had no control over the dragon

[@ĈiamGrandaOfficiel]

No one sent Ulf to King's Landing, he was just doing a test drive.😅

[@shibernyan2009]

I don't think sending Silverwing to Kings Landing was intentional, why reveal all your cards to Aemond while simultaneously risking him actually taking her up for the challenge, while neither Ulf nor Hugh have any idea how to properly ride or communicate with their dragons yet. And especially considering Rhaenyra's passive approach to the war so far, I think she would have preferred to train all these new riders first before challenging Aemond and Vhagar. So Ulf and Silverwing going to Kings Landing was probably not part of a plan. I think the only reason they were standing at the ready on Dragonstone was because Hugh and Vermithor just went on their own first ride, and Rhaenyra probably went with him on Syrax as a guide. She watched Hugh claiming Vermithor after all, but not Ulf claiming Silverwing, which would explain his reckless, unplanned flight to Kings Landing.

[@johnrodriguez4262]

They could end the war by burning everyone before Almond reach Vhagar

[@andysteel4511]

While Vaghar would have been in true danger going alone to Dragonstone, all the Blacks Dragons could have easily chased her back to King's Landing and end the war there. Yes, Rhaenira wanted to win without casualties, but the only way to be sure about Greens surrendering would have been to kill Vaghar and Aemond now (or just one of them). If attacked from multiple directions, Aemond would have had no chance to survive: ended by dragon fire quite easily. Vhagar could have killed another dragon at best, and that's it. War over and team black victorious 🎉

[@jasonhuibers2315]

He turned away because he saw where the dragon was headed he didn't see the other dragons at all. If Team black was smart they would have taken to the air and attacked him from above when he starting chasing Silverwing. Even though they are new riders. Vermithor, Silverwing and Seasmoke have battle experience. Vermithor alone could probably take down Vhagar but since Silverwing is his mate she'd team up with him on Vhagar. If they attacked with all 6 dragons they had at dragonstone war would of been over. They'd probably lose 2 of the smaller dragons but still win

[@musiclover9518]

FLEE is the word Aemond used. And you only FLEE when you see a DANGER(the Bronze Fury)

[@JohnnyWoodard]

I don't think they sent Silverwing to KL. That's just where she took Ulf.

[@abnerabner1226]

Feels like vermithor have a connection with Rhynearya

[@B-ww8fx]

If it was the plan - seems a bit silly cos what if Vhagar happened to be flying over KL when Silverwing arrived. That is the reason why Vhagar has stayed in KL?

[@Robation26]

Aemond had not seen the bronze fury and silverwing out of the pits with riders before.

[@SD-vs4wx]

He's got hawk eyes 😊....also she can end the war right now but the show got to keep going

[@aemondmyson5374]

Aemond study Westeros and Philosophy he smart enough to learn about all dragons

[@AMITIAJOON]

Silverwing and vermithor are the only ones that Have a massive chance to win against vhagar

[@chtayyab8049]

I wish we could see Vhagar vs Vermithor one on one but I know it will never happen.

[@ABISHEG23]

Dragonpit not large enough to Vhagar? what are you talking about? Both Balerion and Vhagar were in the Dragonpit.

[@mindq4328]

Season 1 Episode 2: In a conversation between Viserys and Laena Velaryon, Laena reveals that Vhagar is too big for the Dragonpit, and Viserys says that some might even say she's too big for the world.

[@ABISHEG23]

@@mindq4328 ok. They changed it for the show. in books Maegor constructed it as a lair worthy of Balerion, Vhagar, and their get. Balerion became the first dragon to be housed in the Dragonpit, after he taken Princess Aerea to Valyria.

[@danielhughes5932]

This dude buzzed the atc tower

[@BigBeast227]

If it were only Syrax and Silverwing, I think Aemond would have chanced it and attacked. Vermithor was the breaking point. He’s too big for Vhagar to take lightly. Also, dragons grow as they get older. Vermithor was half Vhagar’s age and nearly as big. Or close enough. Think about how big he would be at 180 years.

[@rogerelzenga4465]

These are not dragons.... the show shows Wyverns...... the difference? Dragons have 4 legs + 2 wings.... Wyvers have 2 hind legs and wings are part of the front legs....

[@sidbat6154]

Only Caraxes is Badass enough to kill Vhagar and somewhat survive, only the Red Wyrm himself.

[@j.uiriagain9813]

Vhagar is an outside cat now.

[@eshaan3]

Bruh idk why but all she had to do after this event was to call upon all dragon riders , go to harrenhall pick daemon and go to kings landing kill vhagar and take the throne, with those many dragons in her command not one would have challenged her claim or her word . Just imagine a fleet of 7 dragons coming at you for a fight , she would have conquered quicker the aegon himself without any challenge . And her might would have only increased due to her baby dragons growing peacefully.

[@godz4681]

Vermithor could have reach Balarion size if he had live for half a century longer.

[@nasimacdnanovic1196]

I don't think its trap because why she standing there ? It make no sense In wars if you want trap then you can't stand and simply say come at me bro 😂but damn that last scene its by far my fav one of the two seasons she is the prestige of dragons queen ❤

[@JuTown-ChiCity]

It may have been a training exercise preparing the new riders for battle.

[@traviscue2099]

Imo its strategy, Aemon now knows he can't fight two fronts at once. He's forced to stay in Kings Landing, or risk leaving and having it lost. So basically the blacks can do what they want with no interference.. in theory.

[@markfowler3043]

Didn't know it was a two minute flight to dragonstone from kings landing

[@iwatchkittenvids45]

If they only still had meleys. OP.

[@ThigaostumasSwarr]

Could also be The Cannibal if the shows creator decided for him to be in the series but there is more likely in season 3 it could be Vermithor or the cannibal

[@Arc.Z]

Im pretty sure writters forgot about him😂

[@ThigaostumasSwarr]

@@Arc.Z hope not 🤞🤣

[@Arc.Z]

@@ThigaostumasSwarr no im pretty sure they left the narration about cannibal in muctery because it can create plotholes One as we know dragons growing in wild grow to thier full potential until it dies of old age 🤔 and cannibal was already in dragonstone before aegon the conquror arrived there so safe to say he is as old as balerion and if he is that old and wild he would be large as balerion or as large as meraxes atleast But The narration has already set up in such a way that balerion is the largest seen at his time and vhagar is currently the largest😐 so if cannibal is introduced he has to be old and large and cant be smaller than vhagar or it would contradict what was said about wild dragons🤣 So writters probably just let him be a mystery which is better ending than dissapointing the audience

[@ryanbiggs5479]

She never ordered anything. She didnt even know ulf yet

[@obsidian7644]

The funny thing is aemond fears deamon to a certain degree and daemon wasnt even on dragonstone 😅

[@GWAsnipr7]

Sea Smoke is a Cool looking Dragon, But my Favorite is Vermithor!!! Vhagar doesn’t have any horns, and looks kind of bare or bald…

[@fairshareofdrownedsouls]

That was vermax behind Rhaenyra, not Vermithor. You will know when you see Vermithor, trust me.

[@anirudhbharadwaj1342]

This is better than the actual episodes of season 2 🤣

[@jnzupka]

I would’ve thought that maybe Aemond snapped out of it and realized he wouldn’t have to just fight three enemy dragons But potentially The Cannibal The Cannibal would definitely be drawn to the sound of fighting and potentially dying dragons

[@michapawowski2645]

Why would he. XD you guys have so weird concept of wild animals. Besides, Cannibal is smaller than Vermithor. He's less battle-experinced. He feeds only on really small dragons and eggs. He hasn't been seen nowhere around. His biggest feat is driving Sheepstealer off his prey. Why would Aemond fear him more, that's just bs.

[@jnzupka]

@@michapawowski2645 because a dragon that’s mortally wounded is an easier target You see it all the time with wolves hanging around where deer are fighting for mates

[@jnzupka]

@@michapawowski2645 I thought the cannibal was one of the biggest

[@michapawowski2645]

@@jnzupka You don't see wolves swarming around fighting bears. Cannibal was one of largest, yes. Just not the largest and absolutely not in Balerions territory, as you see people implying here.

[@jnzupka]

@@michapawowski2645 but a seriously wounded dragon would definitely be of interest to the cannibal Maybe he would follow or just wait around like a Komodo dragon

[@SudhanshuSK47]

Wild dragon Cannibal is also on a dragonstone ?

[@mikem102]

Good plan with the trap, terrible execution. Show of force was a terrible idea, should of used the element of surprise while she had the chance. Should of sent all 6 dragons to attack Vhagar and take her out for good and ensuring the end of the war.
