That is the tragic for the dragons. They are one big family just like the Targaryens, but unlike them the dragons have no clue why they are suddenly killing each other.
@@kirksmith9783 Yeah, that's just false. Plenty of historic battles have been won by the side with the much smaller side. The Battle of Agincourt comes to mind, where 5k Brits defeated 30k French, due to the brilliance of the warrior king Henry V. Or the Battle of Rourkes drift, where 150 Brits defeated 5k Zulus, because they held the better ground. Or going back further, The Battle of Pharsalus, where 20k Romans defeated 40k Pompeins, because of the genius of general Julius Caesar. Or the Battle of Gaugamela, where Alexander the Great defeated nearly a million Persian troops with only 47k men. Which is one of the historical events that the movie 300 is based on. All things being equal, numbers matter. But legendary warriors/commanders can often tip the balance. As can the ground the battle is fought on
@@chrisjames6327 I agree with your point completely but I just want to point out that there definitely were not anywhere close to a million Persian troops at Gaugamela. Ancient authors invariably inflated the numbers of the enemy faction while minimising their own. In reality there were maybe around 100,000 Persians. Still it was an amazing victory and Alexander is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant geniuses in military history but try to remember that the numbers given by ancient authors are extremely, comically exaggerated. The only battle in history that has come close to involving a million fighting men would be Stalingrad. There's simply no way the Achaemenids could field just as many troops as the 1940s industrialised Soviet Union.
Probably mostly the same, Vhagar during the Dance was nearly as big as Balerion in his final years (correction, see below). Two very old gramps dragons. And when Balerion died of old age, he had stopped growing since some time and was at least 20 years older than Vaghar now. Edit : Dance's Vhagar is as big as Conquest's Balerion so Balerion's during its final years would have probably be louder.

Then Tessaron is killed by an archer in the eye to end its misery by command of some Blackwood lord. Vermithor dies later because of its wounds from the fight. And the three dragons might have fight each other not Vermithor and Tessaron together vs Seasmoke. Huge Hammer was killed before he gets to Vermithor so Vermithor fight them without his rider.

HoD lacks heavily in dialogue compared to GoT.. but it makes it up with the dragon action. Season 2 has more of it than 8 season in GoT. Try watching GoT after watching HoD. You'll be amazed how good dialogue is in early GoT, every single scene is worth watching. HoD has so much stuff you can skip.

casually flies several hundred miles to Kings Landing, then flies back to Dragonstone so Aemond can glare at them. Imagine if they had used it to bait him out and then kill him, Ah well.
Well, he looks a bit like an ancient or elder dragon, while Silverwing looks like a fusion between blood dragon and frost dragon. There were some nerds at the CGI work.
Vhagar: Oh, this field is too open--I cannot launch my sneak-and-kill move! Turn me around, or I shall die... look ahead of us. Three already waiting to devour me!
I think she should have kept the dragons a secret. Aemond would’ve been blindsided and they could’ve had a better chance to take Vhagar out whenever they went after them. Showing them she had more dragons gave them a chance to plan.
Silverwing sounds so terrifying for me. We have poultry farm back home everytime i heard the chicken making this sounds it means predator are coming likr hawk or eagles sometimes wild cat.
Personally for me….this scene really missed the mark because we couldn’t see the dragons when Vhagar and Aemod was flying….he turned around and then they cut to Rhaenyra standing there with the dragons. This could have been way better!!!!
I was unsure when they recasted Rhaenyra.. but she is perfect cast for a Targaryen women and she nails the role 100%. Tbf majority of them are amazing. Daemon, aemond, viserys all are perfect cast aswell. And Aegon and Haelena are also very good.

Don't overestimate him. Sure, he is really powerful, but 1 on 1 he would probably lose against Vhagar.

Nah not really. Season2 for hotd is filler.

Truly, they did nothing between here and the end of the next one that included dragon riders. This should have been the ending.
That would of been insane to see Vermithor, Syrax and Silverwing take off and charge at Vhaegar, they would of ripped her apart no problems
How good is Aemond's vision to watch the 3 dragons from miles away??

Vhagar would 1v2 silverwing and Syrax but vermithor even solo would give her a run for her money
He's lucky Daemon wasn't there. He wouldn't have made it home in one piece.
Syrax sounds amazing
this went incredibly hard I must say
Crazy to think Rhaenyra also had Seasmoke, and then by the end of the season Rhaenyra would also have Caraxes and Sheepstealer. 😭
