Helaena's been dissociating basically the entire time since. Or she's tried to rationalize her emotions away by pointing out the smallfolk lose children all the time. Instead of "mad with grief" they went with (what I think is a more realistic) just not being completely there. I bet there were moments at the sept before the riot that she would suddenly come back to her senses and realize she has no idea how she got there. And when Rhaenyra comes to King's Landing I bet the first thing she'll say to Rhaenyra is "I'm sorry about Jace and Luke."

That's because the TV series greatly expanded the story to show how things led up to the Dance of the Dragons. In the books, the story begins where the second half of season 1 began. They tried to squeeze more money out of a successful Intellectual Property but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it added to the lore covered in the books. George himself says that Paddy's portrayal of King Viserys turned out greater than his brief portrayal in the books. Young Rhaenyra was also a great revelation and benefited the show.

The book is way better with a clear message in my opinion: how people in power use weapons of mass destruction to obtain power, killing thousands in the process. How people in power succumb to their passions making everybody around them suffer. This story has been repeated time and time again. But today’s Hollywood is so politically and profit-driven that most shows are below average when it comes to writing. They think that people are only interested in sound production and VFX. The story will always be first if you want to have people watching. After the second season, my interest in the show has waned, and I find myself not eagerly anticipating future seasons.

This also leaves out quite a bit from the original source material it adapted in The Princess and The Queen.

daeron deserved to be king after aegon the second .. he was kind and peaceful like his father .. i think he is the one who should be called the peaceful king ,, and it will be ironic because aemond was the one who wished all of his live to be king but in the end he's too brothers became kings and he didn't ,, and daeron the daring really looks like daeron the young dragon

Fun fact: Rhaena, daughter of Daemon, will marry Garmund Hightower after the war; the Velaryon and the Hightower become good friends, in fact the latter financially support the Velaryon house since they were ruined after the Dance. Hopefully Garmund appears and has a relationship with Rhaena. It would be a very nice way to reconcile the greens and the blacks.

None of us find Alicent's more pitiful in the slightest, at least not in Season 2. And anyone capable of simple thinking knows she's being written as "sympathetic" because they made her a RHAENYRA STAN, in case you're missing the fact she's not even committed to the green cause at all. We love BOOK ALICENT, the one who was ruthless, fierce, had an ambitious agenda, and protected her family. We didn't ask for "sweetened" characters. Plus, IT'S A FACT that the show is biased against the greens, and you know it well, no matter the denial. Look how Blood and Cheese was quickly swept under the rug and so on.

[@El_.5794]

Daemon is a true warrior as he’s not only a dragon rider watching his dragon fight other dragons but he too made use of his sword even on air riding his fighting dragon. Aemon didn’t expect that from his uncle. He was used to just sit on Vhaegar and watch her do the fighting upon his commands

[@andrejasofrenovic3425]

Aemond was great at sword fighting as well. The reason why he probably didn't sword fight on the dragon is because it is more or less impossible, unless you are looking to commit suicide like Daemon did.

If were are talking about fighters in the books neither Daemon nor Aemond are considered great swordsman, just great dragon riders. Daemon for example, even with Darksister he lost to Criston Cole in a melee and was also defeated in a joust match, Aemond also don't have any duels in the whole war.

[@Adam-ul2nz]

Aegon got that dawg in him. What this video misses out is that - In order to take Dragonstone Aegon and a wounded Sunfyre had to fight Baela and her dragon. Aegon wins despite Sunfyre's injuries but shatters both legs in the process. After he returns to Kings Landing when he kills Rhaenyra, Aegon stands on his broken legs to burn the Shepherd alive, thus avenging the dragons of House Targaryen.

Its funny how Rhaenyras own descendants dont even like her lol

[@michelm5072]

In Westeros, the history books do not remember Rhaenyra as a queen but as a claimant or even a usurper. Stannis in the books says that his end was deserved. Therefore, they blame her for the death of the dragons, for wanting to ascend the throne instead of obeying Jahaerys' decree.

[@davidalves31057]

In Dorne they seem to uphold her legacy, specially her descendants there, and history is not really kind to Aegon as well, he is remembered as a dreadful king likewise...

[@pain002]

When you realize the story ends with the Blacks sitting on the throne, wed to the greens after all....Only 14 more dragons dead, and almost all targaryens as well. Wow guys this war really paid off!

[@oceanfive5]

Literally if viserys could’ve just got everyone in the same room together, put his foot down and married the greens and the blacks together this shit would’ve been avoided or if viserys listened to Otto in the beginning when he suggested marrying aegon and rhaeynra once aegon came of age, they honestly had a lot of options to avoid war but ig targeryns just love fighting each other.

[@TheFisherKing00]

I find the narration combined with the mystical and haunting music at 20:00 to be so powerful. It captures the feeling of an apocalyptic cautionary tale so perfectly, I can't quite describe it.

[@michelm5072]

I thought exactly the same. That sad music, two scared children assuming themselves as kings and the dragon corpses that represent not only the beasts themselves but the two sides that killed each other, is a perfect ending. An ending worthy of a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy. I hope for an ending like this in the show

[@IlyassBendaoud-r5v]

Aemond was a great dragonrider and he was in his prime but Deamon was a mighty warrior he was feared by many, he knows wars very well, his experience in battles can,t be touched, I think Aemond knows that the only problem to his victory was Deamon, this two are the real players of whole the dance🖤💚

[@A_divisive_scarecrow]

The Battle of Rooks rest in the show is a complete pile of sh*t compared to the one in the books. Meleys with Rhaenys are showcased as heroic martyrs, Aegon a fool who dared to oppose the twice as large and fast Meleys than his own dragon, Sunfyre a complete weakling with no firepower (his blast hit Meleys and Rhaenys directly in their faces and not a scratch on any of them), and Aemond is... well a fckn traitor, who willingly burnt his own brother. In the books, the two Targaryen brother attacks together, shoulder-to-shoulder, Aegon had a fckn strategic plan, and didn't just rush to face such a formidable enemy alone stupidly... I hate the showrunners for what they did to the green faction. Instead of a choesive, supporting family they are always at each other's throat, trying to cause as many trouble for each other as possible. Madnesss.... madness and stupidity.

Most of the dragons died in the actual war, whilst 2 of the dragonseeds dragon's died. Nettles and her dragon got away and Silverwing likely died of old age. In the end she and moon dancer where the last dragons but they eventually died. At that stage none of the eggs were hatching for some reason, and the only one that hatched bit of a chunk of one the Targeryns children's arm so it was killed, I think that one was the last dragon

Otto is hardly the only reason this civil war broke out. Rhaenyra would have caused one regardless due to her poor political choices.

all this because Viserys was a cucked fool, dumbest Targaryen king, outclassed only by the Mad King and Aegon IV. Otto just played the game of thrones...Viserys alone destroyed the House of the Dragon.

[@gwejay]

For those saying Rhaenyra/the blacks won because its her descendants that rule, in that sense yes. But she lost if you think about the real reason the entire war started in the first place. Westerosi society remains the same "a son comes before a daughter" she failed to break that. Aegon is remembered, Aegon 2nd of his name and king in the history books. Rhaenyra is never remembered as queen and is called a usurper and worse in the history books. Even by her own son who becomes king. She is hated as you could see Viserys when telling his perspective in this narration is not fond of her.

[@cmd7930]

[@b2themc]

Yes the whole point is nobody won, they destroyed their own power and eliminated their dragons from within

Rhaenyra in reality wasn't even fighting for that. She was fighting for HER right to be the heir, not for women to be considered equal in getting land. She throws away the concept when its in her convenience.

[@xperiuscastello8613]

What a cope. A war is only defined as won when one opponent has either totally destroyed the other or the loser submits to the winner. Blacks are the clear winner in this war as the entire bloodline of the greens was deservedly wiped out. It was Daemon and Rhaenyra's sons who continued the legacy of the house. And as for the bullshit about Westerosi society, never ever did Rhaenyra want to change this custom or whatever she only wanted what was rightfully her and her son's, given to her by her father the king. But yeah, keep coping losers.

[@aldocadeddu2465]

​@@xperiuscastello8613 there are no winners. It doesn't matter that Aegon III took the throne. Both Aegon II and Rhaenyra were dead, their families destroyed.
