kin slayer

[@micheleford4282]

Their mother is literally Aemonds older half Sister ... how much more kin do you want them to be? he is a kin slayer. Also Targaryen's and Valaryon's intermarried alot so it might as well be the same family.@@Iron2Brew

[@SorceressWitch]

​@@Iron2BrewIt is still kinslaying and being a bastard doesn't excuse them from the crime. Roose Bolton had a legitimate son called Domeric and Ramsay was a bastard who poisoned his brother, that's kinslaying but nobody is able to prove it but Roose suspects Ramsay did it to be the only son. Being in a different house doesn't protect you from kinslaying either. Tytos Blackwood sees it as kinslaying when his son Lucas was killed but Lucas is not related by blood but Walker Frey married a Blackwood called Alyssa who he had children with and that's how Tytos sees them as family. Alyssa was the 4th wife of Walder Frey. Now for Lucerys, he is related to Aemond by blood as his mother is Aemond's half sister, making Aemond his uncle and Aemond himself doesn't deny being his uncle and even calls him nephew. So yes, it is kinslaying. There is no defence for it.

[@BleedingGrafitti]

@@Iron2Brew Pretty sure they're both Targaryens. Do Rhaenyra's sons have Targaryen blood? Same amount as Alicent's kids? Yes? Do they have dragon blood? Yes? Are they dragon riders? Yes? They're legitimate Targaryens and Aemond slayed his own kin. Deal with it.

Vhagar is the last of the three dragons who conquered Seven Kingdoms for House Targaryen, she melted Harrenhal like a stone candle, she's turned entire war fleets into charcoal , turned Dornish sand into glass and helped extinguish two of Westeros's most ancient and storied dynasties with her flames. She very much helped build the house of the dragon She is not a trained dog you can set on someone you don't like and then call off at the last second because you just wanted to scare them

[@willywoo2013]

In the books there is no guilt, they've tried to soften his TV character a little bit.

[@nobaru4581]

The books should not be taken entirely seriously, as they read like reconstructions of events based on records from contemporary witnesses. These accounts not only contradict each other, but one witness, portrayed by a dwarf, claims to have a very large schlong. Therefore, these witnesses may not be very reliable, and the cited events could have happened somewhat differently than recorded. Some of the events, such as what started the war, might also be a result of historical revisionism. I personally appreciate the show's portrayal of the event as a dumb prank gone wrong between two kids, with Aemond even depicted as feeling guilt/regret. However, since no witnesses were present to accurately report what happened, Aemond or the Greens may not tell the truth, or the Reds won't believe it was an accident.

Apparently, he even carved out Lucerys' eye and presented it to the Baratheon girl, not his mother.

[@RKDragonGaming]

Luke had zero control over his dragon for most of this scene. He and Arrax were both doomed the moment Luke decided to continue with his quest as messenger. When it comes to situations like this, it doesn't matter how well your dragon is trained, they are still a living, breathing being with far more power than their riders. They make their own choices, the bond isn't control, not at all. Dragons willingly serve humans, they don't HAVE to. It's very much like with horses. I have a horse, and 99% of the time she is incredible and does what I ask of her, but if she gets scared or upset she lets me know. Horses are prey animals, so sometimes she will spook or bolt, and there isn't much I can do except hold on and try to calm her. Control is an illusion, it's a partnership. Dragons, though, are apex predators. They don't tend to run, and if they know they can't run (ie, Arrax) they will fight. That's why he attacked Vhagar, he panicked. For him, and for Vhagar, too, his rider wasn't even there... no longer in the picture. I think it was portrayed super well in this scene, that dragons aren't just servants of humans. Can't wait for season 2!

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing to have but realistically in this situation, there is no way Vhagar could have seen into the chasm, meaning it would have been a perfect place to hide and then simply fly back the way you came (obviously don't wait for too long though as eventually I suspect Aemond would have simply lit the chasm on fire out of getting tired of waiting) as Aemond had no idea where Lucarys was at the time until he likely saw Lucerys flying into the clouds through the lightning strikes.

@@NeilsonBuntowa probably a death sentence. The dragon is small and would likely have had its wings broken by simply a flap of one of Vaghar’s wings (or killed) and is small enough for a person to kill. Also, Lucerys was likely quite heavy for him and would have had problems taking off again in a storm on a not very level surface, meaning they would have crashed to their death.

Aemond: You owe me an eye but because you keep backing out of this, the interest is gonna kill you.

I love how the hurt ego of Aemond caused a war, it really shows how utterly broken European monarchies were, where each and every person under its rules had to dance to its whims

When i was watching the scene for the first time. I was like "Thats a big ass dragon"

[@Ducksalesman]

That is indeed a big ass dragon

Aemond giving off major Scott Farkus vibes with that laugh Too bad Lucerys didn't have his Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle IYKYK 😂😂

Time to rewatch this I guess :D

[@LuisUY-1983]

Esta escena sin dudas es una de las mejores de la temporada. Si bien estaba todo para el jorak, esta escena da inicio a la Danza de los Dragones. George R.R. Martins es increíble.

Irrespective of Aemond's illusion of control over Vhagar, no one sends a boy heir alone when war is heating up. Very illogical from Rhaenyra as well.

[@elcj9705]

Aemonds vision may not be 20/20, but hindsight is. Ofc they were not to know something like this would happen

[@pratiklakhotia4877]

I've seen the leaks, the greens were in some kind of funeral.

[@realwaifus5514]

I personally haven’t read Fire and Blood but I have heard some people critique the direction the show has gone, citing that by fleshing out the greens and the blacks to be more sympathetic the story loses the thematic context of The Dance being a bunch of entitled, selfish children squabbling and dragging the whole country into war in the process with little to no regard for the consequences on the masses. I like to think that changing this event to be an accident was in service of giving back some of that thematic context. Here Aemond is being a petty child, tormenting Luke because he feels entitled to it, because he is true born and Luke is a bastard, because he rides the mightiest dragon alive, he feels entitled to his power and chooses to continue the feud with no regard for the potential consequences and as a result of his selfishness and shortsightedness, he drags the whole continent into fire and blood. I’m looking forward to seeing how this is addressed in season 2, how Aemond will present the story to his family and how he feels knowing that everything that happens from here on is his fault.

[@S0M3GUY778]

There are parts where it works better than others. Making Aemond's killing of Lule an accident makes things interesting and gives Aemond's kinslayer title more depth rather than making him a shit-eating villain through and through. However I'm personally not a fan of how the show is so team black. In the books Rhaenyra was no saint as portrayed in the show, and a lot of the nuance and "both sides are equally shitty" is lost in the show. I liked in Fire and Blood that you could side with either team and it would be accepted. Show only viewers are probably gonna take Rhaenyra's side more often because of how the show portrays her

[@andrewhicks982]

@@S0M3GUY778 I am sure after the first episode of season 2 titled "a son for a son" people will be far less team black.

@@S0M3GUY778Rhaenyra became more wicked while the wer was going on and she was keep losing sons. However, the greens started the war and Rhaenyra was just Queen who tried to avoid war at all costs. Once the war started she became ruthless…but the greens deserved what the blacks did to them.
