      @melissaadrian8591 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      better mind then the show producers. They couldnt't keep track of people so they cut out huge chunks of family trees. And massacred the character of some. Like Doran Martell? He is made out to be some weak minded invalid who Ellaria kills? He is a bloody master mind out to destroy those who killed his sister, and has three children not one. His daughter Arianne kidnaps Mrycella who is alive in the books, to try and put her on the throne. Ellaria is a whimpering widow with four young kids, Oberyn's older daughters (with other women) are bad asses but they follow Arianne not their mother.

      @@liandry4951 I don't like the way the show named him Aegon. Rhaegar was married to Elia Martell before Lyanna Stark. With Elia he had a daughter named Rhaenys and a son named Aegon. High Septon Maynard's diary let us know that Rhaegar and Elia's marriage was annulled in the show. An annullment makes it so that the marriage never existed. It automatically made Rhaenys and Aegon bastards, whether their names were Sand or Waters we'll never know. But, naming Rhaegar's youngest son Aegon is just utterly stupid. That would have severely pissed off Dorne even more than they already were. Lord Commander Gerold Hightower, Ser Arthur Dayne, and Ser Oswell Whent would have known that. Lyanna in particular doesn't seem like the type of person who would do that. It's why I prefer thinking his name was actually Aemon but because Lyanna was dieing couldn't actually enunciate that clearly.

So I subscribed to HBO Max and have be3n bing-watching, in a probably lame effort to get it all in before the prequel starts in August. Your family tree here has helped me immensely.

      @@davidredden8361 you sound dumb as hell. Try making a multimillion production without having enough resources to put 7 books in a fucking show.

      should I click, "harassment or bullying," or, "Hate speech or graphic violence," when I report your comment?
      Ah, I'll do one of each.
      From my phone and then from my tablet.
      Whether it affects you at all is irrelevant.
      At least your comment will disappear over on this side.

    After Danaerys died and Jon becomes exiled, technically if they kept the original royalty tree, Gendry Baratheon would have been the rightful heir to the throne. In my opinion he probably would’ve been the best fit for it

    • @eugeneflores6153
      @eugeneflores6153 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's really funny that Orys the progenitor of the Baratheon family line has a targaryen blood because he is a "bastard" child of aeron Targaryen lord of dragontone and step-brother of Aegon the Conqueror.
