The Winged Shadow

[@michaelobba3332]

After watching HOTD, I just realized that Daenerys used to ride her dragon bareback! Damnnn plus the fact she figured out how to bond, tame and ride the dragons all by herself, that's just so GOATED

[@georgedanielsbiz]

Riding bareback is just stupid

[@arielx31]

Well I mean, all knowledge of the saddle and stuff were long gone. And riding bareback is actually stupid. The reason some of the dragon riders were so mobile is because when strapped in their dragons could maneuver more. Just like how when Meleys and Vhagar collided, had they not been strapped in their riders would've fallen from everything happening. Lmao. So it's not "kudos" for riding bareback it's extremely stupid because it compromises the rider.

[@LplusRatioLol]

Also she was able to command 3 dragons at once. And she is fireproof. That means shwas an exception. What a potential Daenerys Targaryen had as a character, which was totally wasted in Season 7 & 8.

[@Sylla402]

I think a cool thing they could've added was the saddles. Tyrion could've helped design it since he's read and learnt so much about the Dragons from when he was young (and grown). That could've been a really cool thing and a way for her to bond with Dany and build trust.

[@arielx31]

@Sylla402 it wouldn't have made sense. Learning about dragons existing and how they played a part in kings rule isnt going to highlight saddles. There were alot of things lost back in that time too. They spoke of how the Targaryens were strong and whatever, not that they had saddles on their dragons LMAO. And if there was anything with the saddle, Robert probably had it destroyed considering he got rid of almost everything Targaryan related after he took the throne

[@Whoopdido777]

It’s a throwaway line in the very first episode of season 1, but in the books it’s talked about more often that he’s a voracious reader and he’s absolutely fascinated by dragons and always dreamed of seeing one. Peter Dinklage did a great job acting like he saw something both remarkable and at the same time something he’d always wished could see and did so without going over the top with it. It was just a very subdued look of astonishment.

[@gsdlife09]

I hated how they ended her story and actually the Targaryen family story. And to add insult to misery they choose the two most boring Starks to rule Westeros. Bran as the King of the 6 kingdom and Sansa as the FIRST Queen of the North Kingdom. From all the female character I hate her the most. To me she is the flattest female character from the two shoes. If it wasn't for her and her devotion to Jeoffrey, Ned may have been alive as well as the other Stark. To me the two most level headed men in GOT and maybe the ones capable of maybe stop the descend of Dany into the so called madness( for me the Kings landing burning was more of a lashing out her contained grief) were Ned and Jorah. Ned after all was uncomfortable with the killing of Ellia Martell and Raegal children. He was also uncomfortable when Robert wanted to kill Dany in season 1. I have read somewhere that the Targaryen Madness was hidden in her, however I don't think so. She was sold to Drago at what 14-15 years old as a wife and yet after his death she managed for a time to keep his Khalessar and rule them when tradition dictated that she goes to the other widows. She managed to survive the desert, hatch dragons, gain the loyalty of the biggest trained army in Essos, conquer a city and rule it for a time after all she left Mereen by her own choice, managed to gain the loyalty to if not all at least most of the Dothraki to a point that they crossed the sea for her. No I believe that she was not mad or even having a hidden madness. After all when she managed all that her dragons were either vulnerable( as they were hatchling or growing) or chained under the pyramid ( Viserion and Raegal) or flying around ( Drogon). I think that her fate was sealed the moment when she left Essoss as for the first time she entered the political part of the game and I think that Tyrion wasn't the best choice for a hand for her. Dany was under the impression that she would come to Westeross with her 3 Dragons and she would be the second Aegon the Conqueror and she would just sit on the throne without opposition. Well when Aegon managed that feat the 7 kingdoms were separated and that is why I believe he managed to become the first king. Now many are in political alliances which made them a fearsome opponents and most importantly the South knew how to defend itself against Dragons as shown in the immensely quick and absurd death of Raegal. She just wasn't prepared for any of this. Not even touching the White walkers here.Dany just believed that the throne was her right because she was a Targaryan. Even my least favorite Stark ( Sansa) was willing to work with her and the girl only wanted the North to become its own Kingdom which isn't much of a wish with how much the Stark had suffered from the political game. The burning of the city for me was just the unfortunate outlet of her jumbled emotions( Viserion and Raegal death, Jorah death, Misandai death, the knowledge that she wasn't the only one with right to the throne and Visaris possible scheming to instal Jon to the throne. A man who had told her that he wasn't interested in ruling and had willingly bend the knee). Dany would never have been happier to sit on the Iron Throne and she would have wanted more and she did. After all Tyrion persuaded Jon to kill her not because she burned the city, but because he was scared of what could follow. Dany had some respect for him maybe not as strong as Jorah and the moment he abandon her instead of try to reason with her she found herself alone. Who could have stopped her? Grey Worm he was also hurting and wanting revenge, the Dothraki? They were a race that enjoyed war and she was their khaleesi and Dany had proven her exactly that. The Starks? They distrusted her. Jon? He didn't have a problem to play the horizontal tango with her before knowing that he was Rhaerar son but the moment he knew she was his aunt he rejected her. Come on Rhaenira didn't have a problem to marry Damon in order to secure her claim to the throne and she knew that they were related. Jon, Jon didn't...

@@gsdlife09 1. i do agree that bran was not the best choice for king at the moment, we all know jon should have been king and he was even the rightful heir. he would have made a great king, and if you don’t think so i have no idea what to tell you. but if jon is out of the question then i think we all know bran, although he is a cripple and cannot fight in wars is the best option. the guy LITERALLY knows everything for gods sake. if not him then tell me, who could have possibly made a better king other than jon and bran among the choices we had? samwell tarly? robin arryn? edmure tully? some might say tyrion or ser davos but compared to bran absolutely not. the dude is literally the three eyed raven. 2. there is absolutely no reason why people would hate sansa, after all she went through she made it out and developed leadership and great judgment, she was totally fit to rule over a small kingdom in westeros. i also would never blame her for ned’s death, she was a child, a literal child at the time who basically wanted to marry a handsome prince and live in a big castle. how could she possibly know what would happen? plus she contributed nearly nothing to ned’s death so i have no idea what you’re talking about. how on earth did her devotion to joffrey cause the killing of her family?? 3. there is absolutely no way you think jorah of all people is levelheaded. all ser jorah was was a simp for daenerys, who brought dishonor to his house and embarrassed his father, lord commander mormont (one of my favorite characters). i found him very useless in the show. 4. “The burning of the city for me was just the unfortunate outlet of her jumbled emotions( Viserion and Raegal death, Jorah death, Misandai death”. now this, this is what made me lough out loud… if you say that the reason why dany unnecessarily burned millions of innocent people alive is because of the loss of her loved one then you are basically saying that she was not strong enough to be queen. a STRONG ruler can face many political setbacks and lose some loved ones in the process while experiencing some betrayals and still remain honorable and strong because at the end of the day as rulers they know of the challenges and political hardships they will face and accept it, and dany in particular made sure very well everyone knows that she accepts the challenge way back in season 1 (spoiler alert: she lied). second of all jorah died with honor in a battle which dany strongly encouraged everyone to participate in so i don’t see why that would cause her to fall into madness. compared to other characters in the show dany didn’t go through much, take sansa for example. sansa lost her father, brother, mother and little brother in the worst ways imaginable, was held captive in a castle for years where she was subject to daily abuse and mental and physical torment, was manipulated by cersei and littlefinger and had to watch her family get butchered and insulted in the process and then had to be married to ramsay where she went through all of that again. she still survived and grew and became a skilled politician with great moral values and didn’t let her hardships make her fall into madness, your crybaby daenerys however, can’t say the same about her 😂. a lot of people went through absolute hell in the show and NONE of them would have done what she did. let’s just admit that daenerys was never fit to rule, she had great ideas sure especially in the first few seasons she was great because back in those days everything was going good for her, it was only when she was losing a few more people she started going mad which perfectly emphasizes the emotional and sensitive side of her which means she was never truly fit to rule when the challenge really begins, especially when you have the power of a dragon in your hands it makes it really easy to cause mass destruction to satisfy your childish anger. i don’t think anybody should have a dragon in the show, anybody having that much overwhelming power is dangerous, even if you are innocent the power of a dragon will not fail to make you proud and bloodthirsty.

[@PrinceCheta-i3p]

Really, hi

[@miketully9905]

I love that way the dragons were shown to grow and mature. But there was more to the changes than can be explained by growth. What I see is a deliberate aesthetic choice made at some point to give the G.O.T. dragons a look that's a bit more demonic and a bit less reptilian. Which I view as an ingenious choice that was balanced out by other choices I'll get to below. First, in particular their heads had a lot of subtle upgrades. You can see it best in Drogon. At first he just has essentially spikes coming off his head, but by "Dragons can not be tamed" four of those spikes have been changed to, for lack of a better term, horns. And the horns lend a very different aspect to Drogon's face. His face, in particular when viewed straight on, looks decidedly more demonic. But to balance that out they all went from having beady little eyes to having larger more expressive eyes that had the range to go from fierce to almost kind and gentle. You can see the demonic appearance best in the scene where Dorgon smells Jon's hand. As Drogon lands, and first crawls toward Jon, there's a moment where he looks directly into camera. At that moment you can very clearly see the resemblance to a demon as opposed to that of a more classic dragon. Second, it looks to me as though one heck of a lot more control was added to the models at around the time Drogon saves Danny. There's a heck of a lot more control over the expressions the dragons faces are capable of portraying. The spikes along the dragons backs and the fleshy webbed sections joining them together seem to have had a finely tensioned control spine added to allow animators to make them wave about in a more natural way as the dragons moved their necks and air flowing over them made them move. Lastly the texturing of the dragons was also upgraded at points. In particular the texture used on the webbing between to spikes along the dragons backs was simply brilliant. You could almost feel the fleshy warmth of that webbing as opposed to the steely hardness of the spikes the webbing joined together. Marvelous. G.0.T.'s dragons are imo a master class in character creation. This is how it's done when it's done well. 😄By the end they were some of the best actors never seen on set!😄

Dany had the privilege of knowing her ancestors history w dragons and therefore knew it was not a good idea to chain them up. Of course she did at one point bcuz they started roasting kids lol and she was terrified but other than that she let them do them bcuz she knew they’d always come back to her. Drogon was so independent yet empathetic.

Balerion wingspan was about 456-460 feet roughly (I rounded up for the last number) capable of covering an entire town in his shadow with a estimated length from snout to tail tip of 126 feet. Neither three dragons that were in the conquest were ever really sequestered for prolongued periods in the dragon pit sure they lived their but for a majority of their life they were free to roam the world and feed on whatever took their fancy.

You don't realize the significance of the first time Daenerys rides Drogon and flies until you have the historical context for it. Daenerys is the first Targaryen to fly on dragonback in over a _century._ After The Dance of The Dragons (spoiler alert for upcoming HoTD seasons), when Aegon III rules Westeros, the dragons die out, hence the nickname 'Dragonbane' given to him. Not only the population of dragons dwindled dramatically as a result of the Targaryen civil war (as did the population of Targaryens themselves, with only Aegon III, Viserys II and Jaehaera surviving the Dance), but Aegon III, having watched his mother Rhaenyra Targaryen be easten by her half-brother's dragon, was terrified of dragons. This is 131 AC. Daenerys rides Drogon in 300 AC. That's 169 years. That's history. Daenerys Targaryen mounting Drogon and taking to air for the first time in nearly seventeen decades is _monumental._ At this point, dragons are legends, and riding one is an art completely lost to men, even more of a myth than the dragons themselves. Daenerys is the true legacy of her bloodline.

[@pratikchakraborty6354]

[@fantasypolice]

Wait, if Aegon III was alive before Daenarys, so he is in 300 AC and Daenerys is in 131 AC, right?
