Agreed. Dragons are dangerous, but not heartless or mindless. The fact that they were practically driven to extinction by a family squabble breaks my heart.
They really knew what there were doing when they designed Sunfyre - and I'm not referring to his beauty. I'm referring to the fact that he is literally a Golden Retriever who likely has ZERO concept of violence or pain until this day.
That isn’t at all true the design is taken from the books and in said books sunfyre is a badass he kills just as many dragons as vhagar while being much much smaller don’t disrespect my boy sunfyre
Im not sure why are they killing each other tho. Dragons are sentient beings and i get that they are loyal to their riders but i can tell you my dogs would never hurt eachother even if i told them.
Dude is hilarious, dont want to be king, got crown. Getting drunk, then join the battle with the most beautiful dragon. He living his life at fullest. Cant bring myself to hate him.
As dumb as Aegon is, I feel pity for him. He was self aware enough to know that he'd make a horrible King. When he's basically forced into it, he genuinely tries to be good at it, but isn't smart enough to realize that he is just a proxy for Allicent and Otto. Getting rid of Otto and appointing Cole as hand, was lunacy. When he tried to assert some authority, no one takes him seriously..his brother and mother mock him to his face.

Aegon is an arrogant fool. The only one I feel sorry for here is Sunfire. Aegon decided to prove something to someone, rushed forward, contrary to the plan, and earned it. If he really wanted to start ruling like a king, he had to stop drinking like a drunk, listen to advice and really start ruling. But he made fun of his brother, called him a faithful dog in front of everyone, and now he was counting on something? After so many years of humiliating Aemond, I'm not surprised that he didn't spare Aegon much. Although, there was no direct hit on him. The blow was aimed at two dragons at once according to the principle of "who will be lucky". Meleis is faster, she dodged. Aegon, with his stupidity and arrogance, framed little Sunfire. P.S. And yes, Aemond is not a stupid drunk who only dreamed that he would not be touched and allowed to continue drinking like his brother. He is a victim of bullying, also crippled in childhood.

@@elkevinski Yet another ridiculous show runner decision to make her act as she acted. In the book she was ambushed by the two. In the show, dear God that was bad.
@@zachrobinson6801but Aegon is now crippled this will weaken his cause greatly. She should have retreated then her and daemon launch a joint attack on Vhaghar.
Rhaenys saw the realm tearing itself apart after she hesitated. Daemon berated her for it. Before Ameond and V even showed up, Rhaenys was willing to die here.
Aemond was like a snake, cold, calculated and knows the precise moment to strike. And he was aware that Vhagar was a old dragon who probably couldn't face Meleys at full strength so he waited for both dragons to weaken each other.
It looks like Aemond intentionally wanna kill Aegon II, he order his dragon to breath fire without hestitation when he clearly saw Sunfyre still fighting Meleys
Isn’t aegon going to remember that Aemond tried to kill him? I guess there’s the excuse that he got a concussion. I don’t blame Aemond for trying to kill aegon though. All of the bullying from Aegon and seeing him as unworthy for the iron throne…
So no one will say a word that Aemond and his dragon were the one to burn Aegon and his dragon? Aemond just committed regicide and kinslaying…. I swear if the show acts like it’s only Aemond and Cole that know the truth…
To be fair 90% of the army was more interested in not becoming charcoal than watching the fight properly, they were in the middle of friendly and enemy fire (literally) so they couldnt see propely who attacked who, even after the battle, most of the army was disoriented, fighting the castle forces or leaving, probable only Cole was after Aegon and Sunfyre
Would not benefit the greens in the slightest to reveal the truth anyway. Much better to just have aemond replace him better chance that they will win the war.
Nobody want s to listen Daemon.When he said Rhenys to go with him to kill vhaegar,what is crucial for this war,sehe denied.And now she atacks vhaegar alone 🤦🤦🤦I know that this is series butt...
I think there's more factors, though. Yes, in a fair fight between Vhagar (alone) vs. Caraxes and Meleys, yes she'd loose... but not without a price. Vhagar is BIG and crazy powerful and fast for something that big.! Even IF they killed her and lived, Caraxes or Meleys could have been seriously injured. Almost guaranteed they'd be able to kill her, but at what cost? More importantly, in that scene, it's important to remember that Meleys and Rhaenys were both exhausted from flying. Daemon tells her to mount up, meaning she'd be even more exhausted and less prepared for a fight. Without her speed, I'm not sure they actually "could" have beaten Vhagar. More importantly, they would have been fighting over Kingslanding... where the entire Royal Army, every Scorpion bolt aimed at them, plus Sunfyre and Dreamfyre are in the Pit. Daemons plan wasn't thought out well enough. He'd be taking a worked up and exhausted Meleys up against an entire City, armed with weapons to shoot down dragons, plus a fully rested Vhagar... who might not be alone. In isolation, yes, Daemons plan might have worked. But his plan was for too rushed and impulsive. In the end, he'd have gotten himself and Rhaenys and their dragons killed.
EVERYONE shits on Daemon! The sad thing is he was right. They should have attacked KL in season one. This would have possibly stopped the war in its infancy. No one listened to him. Next, he wants Rhaenys to help him kill Vhagar and Aemond...again, he's ignored, and this happens. The same way Otto and the Green council wanted Rhaenyra and her children dead is the same attitude Daemon has towards the Green's.
It’s pretty obvious aegon knows Aemond is attacking him so I wonder how they play this going forward. If they’ll make aegon to scared of aemond to do anything or they’ll just make him forget it cause of his injuries
I wondered that too! At least from what I've heard, in the book he does take a year to recover while being on milk of the poppy, so completely clouded. He does remember who Rhaenyra is and what he does to her tho. So I wonder if he'll be too scared.
some people suffers from amnesia for a mere crash accident, so a dragon falling from the sky with his rider and a severe burn.... there are high chances he actually doesn't remember that Aemond was the one to do it
Aegon is maimed for life...but still Alive!! thats confirmed by Joffery the Sadist kid himself..As far as Rhaenys is considered...IDK wth She tried to acheive by going after Vhaegar..? you could have literally displaced Aegon....then maybe later come back or plan an element of Surprise from Harenhall for Aemond
She probably knew Rhaenyra would lose the support of her lords if they saw that a black dragon came to help out a black aligning castle (Rook’s Rest) and then left as soon as Vhagar showed up
@@waltertheterrible6062 I get your points.....and tbh As I saw more of how Rhaenys was all the way planned for such a thing...to be sacrificial but for a greater cause....for her House and Family....I think it kind of Grows on her....True while watching I couldn't bear it easily that "The Queen who never was" lost like that just cause She decided to pull a "Nah I am gonna go all in"
@@waltertheterrible6062Doesn't matter, Sunfyre is down, they also know Tessarion is in the reach, so there is only Dreamfyre and Vhagar at max in king's landing. They could have easily had Meleys and caraxes fight Vhagar and syrax and the rest team up on Dreamfyre or what not. After that it doesnt matter if Rhaenys left Rooks rest behind.
Aegon was in no position to be fighting another dragon, poor Sunfyre never stood a chance. He should have just served as a support and moral improvement role
Aegon should actually act on his threats. His words are useless if he doesn't mean what he says. Your own brother tries to betray you, and make you look the fool? Banish him to The Wall and sever his ties with Vhagar. Your own mother wants to use you as a puppet for an oligarchal court? Paint her as treasonous and throw her in the dungeon. People have to remember that this family made their own bed. Aegon has all the power, and they frankly do not. Otto Hightower being replaced was an example of Aegon showing his teeth. He needs to surround himself with people who believe in his cause, and all others be damned. Nothing more, nothing less.
@@Alex34567 he cannot sever Aemond's ties with Vhagar unless one of the 2 dies. And which dragon would they haave left ? Daeron's Tessarion is small, and Helaena's Dreamfyre... is limited by having Helaena as a rider. With Sunfyre crippled they only have Vhagar as a battle-ready dragon.
@@Duke_of_Lorraine There is a loophole. The books have stated the dragons actively avoid going past The Wall. If they send Aemond beyond it there is a possibility of severing ties there.
@@Alex34567 dragons may simply be hesitant to cross the wall but it doesn't mean it severs the connection. Also it assumes Aemond cooperates while he probably realises it would doom his side.
I felt so bad for sunfyre at 1:52 basically stumbling away, while also loving how Maley's came outta no where from behind like " where tf you think you goin!?!"
I can not hate Aegon. This destiny was pushed to him. He never wanted to be king. He deserved better! All his actions are justified in my opinion. When he finally accepted the crown the felt something... Like he was meant for more.. but he never wanted this.
He even tried to run away but they dragged him kicking and screaming to his coronation. When he attempted to step up into the role, they treated him like dirt simply because they want a malleable and mindless puppet. His family sees him as nothing but a thing; a means to wield power. It's so dehumanizing.
@@angryguy2724literally all of them are awful. I don’t feel sympathy for any of those spoiled brats, especially from the black side. But Aegon is truly the only ALIVE (ironic) person in the show. And he definitely did not deserve this kind of destiny. If you think otherwise…well. Get some help. Thinking that burning a person alive can be justified because he was sometimes making fun of his younger brother doesn’t relate to adequate and mentally healthy people. I hope I’m wrong and you don’t think that he deserved that.
@@stefanodegioia1598 Sunfyre recovers after eating all the burned soldiers by crawling around like a fire wyrm. After this, the locals bring him Sheep and Cows to eat. His wing grows back but at an odd angle affecting his flight some but he can still fight and fly. Like a broken bone grows back but if it isn't set correctly it will be off some. Aegon on the other hand take almost a year to recover and has a bit of his armor fused with his body from the intense heat.
Aemond is now oficially the dumbest character in the show. The greens already much fewer dragons than the blacks and he tries to kill the only other dragon apart from Vhagar that is ready for battle. And openly trying to kill the king in front of the whole army is a whole level of stupid. Aemond's character was assassinated.
It's most likely no One Will speak about It ,sunfire was not a war dragon thus useless against greater Ones , aegon Is disliked and no One Will speak against aemond Who owns the greatest weapon of the war and is already a kinslayer .
@@feliceabbondante5183 Sunfyre might not be a match for Meleys and Caraxes but he could very much kill dragons like Syrax, Vermax and Moondancer. Sunfyre is vital to back up Vhagar specially when the greens are already outnumbered in the dragon department.
@@masterplokoon8803 yes but the dragons you've mentioned are small and at most useful to Aid bigger dragons or to scout . Sunfyre usefulness was seen as very low by aemond especially since aegon lacked in skill in dragon warfare
This was personal. He knows Rahenys was an experienced arial combat, Ageon had no chance as you can see she was about to kill him anyways. Without a male heir he would become the king. He already won, there was no need for him to get his hand dirty. He did it because Aegon annoying him for his whole life.
The books aren't accurate actuallyl, the writer said so himself. They were written by the greens, so naturally they wouldn't have mentioned Aemond killing Aegon
@bugcatcherjacky1334 nah this isn't canon either, its the show writers changing st. The only canon is what comes to mind with grrm and the closest thing are the books.
They sure have altered them a lot . All of the Greens are potraying as either completely mental or stupid beyond measures. But for Aemond being like that towards his own blood is absurd.
@@NPC1173 its like so obvious of course in the books they gonna give all the credit to aegon for everything that happened because he was the king and the maesters who wrote the book supposedly
I love the effects and everything, but I don't really like how this betrayal is portraying Aemond, he never would've done this despite his dislike for his brother
Didnt realize Cole cared this much about Aegon.. nice to see somebody have a little sympathy for him for once i get tired of watching his entire family constantly treat him like shxt when they forced him to be king and the kid (besides his flaws) just wants to rule and be a somewhat normal king.
I dunno, I feel like Cole's falling to his knees was less of an "oh no poor Aegon" and more of an "oh no I already was a fraud of a Kingsguard by breaking every vow and standard of the order, but now I've failed to protect the king, my one main job, I genuinely failed the White Cloak"
just earlier he was told to be unworthy of the white cloak and then he fails to protect the king, him, of all the nutsacks currently part of the kingsguard.
@@Vegitothegodkiller666-yp9nv Joffrey points to the pits while he’s escorting Margery, and says something like “this is where Aegon fed his sister to his dragon after she tried to usurp his throne, what’s left of her is buried down there”
Moral of the story here: Figure out how many crosshairs are you actually on before you sit on the throne. Aegon was delirious enough to put on shiny full metal and mounted on the most beautiful dragon to do the very thing he really suck at. On the other hand, Aemond had every reason to have Aegon away from the throne even just for a period of time. He could be regent prince at the very least since Aegon just so conveniently lost his heir. He could use the vacancy to differentiate him from how Aegon operate his court. Also Vhegar though formidable in size is not skilled enough for precise assault, Aemond could very well shift the blame of mutilating Aegon to whoever party was in the battle. Treachery does run deep within family.
Not really she’s wearing armor, the flame wasn’t directly on her and she wasn’t in it for long. People run through fire all the time. Plus Targaryen’s have a resistance to it
Despite his many terrible character flaws (let us not forget about the raping and child-fighting), I actually felt bad for Aegon. He had enough self-awareness to know that he would not make a good king. He didn't want it and was forced in to it. I think Aegon wanted to be a good king but just didn't know how-and his council wasn't helping him. They were not taking him seriously and trying to make him a fit king. Instead of lifting him up and truly supporting him, his council and family blatantly disregarded him, making no secret of using him as a puppet. Imagine seeing your brother coming to your rescue, only to realize that your worst fears have come true. Here we clearly see how Aemond and Daemon differ; Daemon would have never betrayed his brother like this. Betrayal cuts the deepest because it always comes from the people we trust. Also, poor Sunfyre; his little greeting with Aegon at the Dragon Pit was cute 😔.
*sigh* I watch this again & really wish Rhaenys had not chosen to valiantly die in battle. She knows what she saw & I wish she had simply kept going & told Rhaenyra what happened back on Dragonstone. The knowledge of Aemond intentionally harming the King would’ve been a great source of leverage for her.
@@patrick4662 He doubled the strength of his forces. He kept Rhaenys busy. And he proved himself a warrior king. That goes a long way. Perhaps now Alicent will shut her stupid mouth.
It is a foolish kind of bravery. He didn't know that Meleys was going to be there. When he saw her he went ahead anyways. That shows that he is anything but a coward. It was his battle that's all.

I bet Aegon's actor was waiting for the moment he finally said dracarys
His dracarys was the best IMO. Mayhaps they told him to Nerf his dracarys as much as he could but it is still so good.
I felt bad for Sunfyre only in this. Aegon ain't dead though, but severely burned and that armor is going to be stuck to his body with how hot it is.
Sunfyre isn't dead as well.
Rhaenys is probably the most regal character we have ever seen in any GOT content. Too bad to see her go but she went out fighting.
"Beloved daughter of Lady Jocelyn Baratheon and Prince Aemon Targaryen, faithful wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, mother and grandmother, the Queen Who Never Was lived fearlessly, and died amidst blood and fire. She was fifty-five years old."
Her epitaph from Fire & Blood.
One of the dumbest actually
@@elkevinski Yet another ridiculous show runner decision to make her act as she acted. In the book she was ambushed by the two. In the show, dear God that was bad.
Rhaynese could of dipped once Aegon went down u only need 1 out 2 of those mfs live to fight another day
They’re both alive
@@zachrobinson6801but Aegon is now crippled this will weaken his cause greatly. She should have retreated then her and daemon launch a joint attack on Vhaghar.
Rhaenys saw the realm tearing itself apart after she hesitated. Daemon berated her for it. Before Ameond and V even showed up, Rhaenys was willing to die here.
@@tomlinsona0704 gotta make the best move in the moment you can always spin the block for Aemon
@@zachrobinson6801One is crippled and the other will eventually die later from wounds. They're already half gone from this point on.
Aemond was like a snake, cold, calculated and knows the precise moment to strike. And he was aware that Vhagar was a old dragon who probably couldn't face Meleys at full strength so he waited for both dragons to weaken each other.
Everyone: “Show us some dragons fighting! 😤😤”
*when dragons actually fight* 😢😢😭💔💔
Was Aemond trying to kill Aegon with the sword at the end?! That’s crazy
To me it looked like he sheathed it when he saw his body. But who knows what his intentions were if it look’d like aegon was still lively.
Yes he had his sword drawn to kill him until he saw his body
Until Cole coming
I am sure there he intended to secretly kill Aegon II and seize the Throne.
It looks like Aemond intentionally wanna kill Aegon II, he order his dragon to breath fire without hestitation when he clearly saw Sunfyre still fighting Meleys
Isn’t aegon going to remember that Aemond tried to kill him? I guess there’s the excuse that he got a concussion. I don’t blame Aemond for trying to kill aegon though. All of the bullying from Aegon and seeing him as unworthy for the iron throne…
Aegon’s not gone be in much position to do anything for a while.
@@JdjdjdujakzgshaEventualy he wakes up. Im not sure he wakes up before or after aemond dies.
He should be dead after the fall
poor writing and nothing to do with books
Ehm, this was his death. Thank the showrunners
So no one will say a word that Aemond and his dragon were the one to burn Aegon and his dragon? Aemond just committed regicide and kinslaying…. I swear if the show acts like it’s only Aemond and Cole that know the truth…
No
Pretty much. The histories were written by Maesters who work for the Hightowers.
To be fair 90% of the army was more interested in not becoming charcoal than watching the fight properly, they were in the middle of friendly and enemy fire (literally) so they couldnt see propely who attacked who, even after the battle, most of the army was disoriented, fighting the castle forces or leaving, probable only Cole was after Aegon and Sunfyre
Would not benefit the greens in the slightest to reveal the truth anyway. Much better to just have aemond replace him better chance that they will win the war.
Nobody cares everyone is busy staying alive.
Nobody want s to listen Daemon.When he said Rhenys to go with him to kill vhaegar,what is crucial for this war,sehe denied.And now she atacks vhaegar alone 🤦🤦🤦I know that this is series butt...
Yes, Daemon be might hot-headed and his morals are debatable, but he is right: To win the war, they need to get rid of Vhaegar.
I think there's more factors, though. Yes, in a fair fight between Vhagar (alone) vs. Caraxes and Meleys, yes she'd loose... but not without a price. Vhagar is BIG and crazy powerful and fast for something that big.!
Even IF they killed her and lived, Caraxes or Meleys could have been seriously injured. Almost guaranteed they'd be able to kill her, but at what cost?
More importantly, in that scene, it's important to remember that Meleys and Rhaenys were both exhausted from flying. Daemon tells her to mount up, meaning she'd be even more exhausted and less prepared for a fight. Without her speed, I'm not sure they actually "could" have beaten Vhagar. More importantly, they would have been fighting over Kingslanding... where the entire Royal Army, every Scorpion bolt aimed at them, plus Sunfyre and Dreamfyre are in the Pit. Daemons plan wasn't thought out well enough. He'd be taking a worked up and exhausted Meleys up against an entire City, armed with weapons to shoot down dragons, plus a fully rested Vhagar... who might not be alone.
In isolation, yes, Daemons plan might have worked. But his plan was for too rushed and impulsive. In the end, he'd have gotten himself and Rhaenys and their dragons killed.
EVERYONE shits on Daemon! The sad thing is he was right. They should have attacked KL in season one. This would have possibly stopped the war in its infancy. No one listened to him. Next, he wants Rhaenys to help him kill Vhagar and Aemond...again, he's ignored, and this happens. The same way Otto and the Green council wanted Rhaenyra and her children dead is the same attitude Daemon has towards the Green's.
I think people forget that this show won’t have a happy ending lol. We’re watching the fall of the empire…
It’s pretty obvious aegon knows Aemond is attacking him so I wonder how they play this going forward. If they’ll make aegon to scared of aemond to do anything or they’ll just make him forget it cause of his injuries
Or Friendly fire
I wondered that too! At least from what I've heard, in the book he does take a year to recover while being on milk of the poppy, so completely clouded. He does remember who Rhaenyra is and what he does to her tho. So I wonder if he'll be too scared.
He'll be so jacked with milk of the poppy, that he won't either remember or taken seriously.
That attacking under strategy by rhaenys and meleys is fvcking fabulous ❤️
I can only imagine how pissed aegon is going to be with his brother when he wakes up
He never does...or he does with a concussion and forgets the details...anyways
@@adityaranjansahoo6261 He does wake, and is able to live a semi normal life. Just in incredible pain.
This will be a akward talk when he wakes up. Xd
some people suffers from amnesia for a mere crash accident, so a dragon falling from the sky with his rider and a severe burn.... there are high chances he actually doesn't remember that Aemond was the one to do it
Aegon is maimed for life...but still Alive!! thats confirmed by Joffery the Sadist kid himself..As far as Rhaenys is considered...IDK wth She tried to acheive by going after Vhaegar..? you could have literally displaced Aegon....then maybe later come back or plan an element of Surprise from Harenhall for Aemond
Her plan was to wound Vhagar so that Team Black can have a chance. She knew she wasn't making it away from that battle.
She probably knew Rhaenyra would lose the support of her lords if they saw that a black dragon came to help out a black aligning castle (Rook’s Rest) and then left as soon as Vhagar showed up
@@waltertheterrible6062 I get your points.....and tbh As I saw more of how Rhaenys was all the way planned for such a thing...to be sacrificial but for a greater cause....for her House and Family....I think it kind of Grows on her....True while watching I couldn't bear it easily that "The Queen who never was" lost like that just cause She decided to pull a "Nah I am gonna go all in"
@@waltertheterrible6062Doesn't matter, Sunfyre is down, they also know Tessarion is in the reach, so there is only Dreamfyre and Vhagar at max in king's landing.
They could have easily had Meleys and caraxes fight Vhagar and syrax and the rest team up on Dreamfyre or what not.
After that it doesnt matter if Rhaenys left Rooks rest behind.
Joffrey the Gentle, the conciliator you mean
Aegon was in no position to be fighting another dragon, poor Sunfyre never stood a chance. He should have just served as a support and moral improvement role
That's if Aegon was a good strategist. If.
Aegon should actually act on his threats. His words are useless if he doesn't mean what he says. Your own brother tries to betray you, and make you look the fool? Banish him to The Wall and sever his ties with Vhagar. Your own mother wants to use you as a puppet for an oligarchal court? Paint her as treasonous and throw her in the dungeon. People have to remember that this family made their own bed. Aegon has all the power, and they frankly do not. Otto Hightower being replaced was an example of Aegon showing his teeth. He needs to surround himself with people who believe in his cause, and all others be damned. Nothing more, nothing less.
@@Alex34567 he cannot sever Aemond's ties with Vhagar unless one of the 2 dies. And which dragon would they haave left ? Daeron's Tessarion is small, and Helaena's Dreamfyre... is limited by having Helaena as a rider. With Sunfyre crippled they only have Vhagar as a battle-ready dragon.
@@Duke_of_Lorraine There is a loophole. The books have stated the dragons actively avoid going past The Wall. If they send Aemond beyond it there is a possibility of severing ties there.
@@Alex34567 dragons may simply be hesitant to cross the wall but it doesn't mean it severs the connection. Also it assumes Aemond cooperates while he probably realises it would doom his side.
Its hard watching the dragons fighting eachother and dying
I felt so bad for sunfyre at 1:52 basically stumbling away, while also loving how Maley's came outta no where from behind like " where tf you think you goin!?!"
Wait..did he actually die at this point? I mean in the original novel he got severely burnt and injured but he still lilved...
He can't. His upcoming role to the death of you know who is important. BUT then again, they don't always follow the book so🤷🏽♀️
Who cares about Aegon, poor little Sunfyre baby, this was hard to watch. Same for Meleys
I have always been against animal cruelty..! This battle broke my heart..😞
they aren't real animals, they're make up
Vhagar and Aemond are a perfect villainous duo. Vhagar is just Vhagar and Aemond is Daemon with teen angst lol
"KILLS KING AEGON" 💀💀💀 Aegon and Sunfyre ain't dead
I can not hate Aegon. This destiny was pushed to him. He never wanted to be king. He deserved better! All his actions are justified in my opinion.
When he finally accepted the crown the felt something... Like he was meant for more.. but he never wanted this.
Aegon abused kids. He was not a good guy.
Isn't he a rapist, though? "All" his actions aren't justified. He's an awful person
He even tried to run away but they dragged him kicking and screaming to his coronation. When he attempted to step up into the role, they treated him like dirt simply because they want a malleable and mindless puppet. His family sees him as nothing but a thing; a means to wield power. It's so dehumanizing.
@@angryguy2724 Yes he is. A rapist without remorse.
@@angryguy2724literally all of them are awful. I don’t feel sympathy for any of those spoiled brats, especially from the black side. But Aegon is truly the only ALIVE (ironic) person in the show. And he definitely did not deserve this kind of destiny. If you think otherwise…well. Get some help. Thinking that burning a person alive can be justified because he was sometimes making fun of his younger brother doesn’t relate to adequate and mentally healthy people.
I hope I’m wrong and you don’t think that he deserved that.
Aegon and Sunfyre aren’t dead. Misleading title
Exactly !
Yeah they are both severely crippled
@@stefanodegioia1598 Sunfyre recovers after eating all the burned soldiers by crawling around like a fire wyrm. After this, the locals bring him Sheep and Cows to eat. His wing grows back but at an odd angle affecting his flight some but he can still fight and fly. Like a broken bone grows back but if it isn't set correctly it will be off some. Aegon on the other hand take almost a year to recover and has a bit of his armor fused with his body from the intense heat.
Don’t worry Y’all Aegon is Still Alive
Story of the show will be a bit different than the books maybe
@@moyeen8823nah they will be some changes but the roadmap is still the same
But he’s broken. As is Sunfyre. And that causes problems for him down the line.
He’s just shitface baby
Idc I am sad Sunfyre was damaged.
Aemond is now oficially the dumbest character in the show. The greens already much fewer dragons than the blacks and he tries to kill the only other dragon apart from Vhagar that is ready for battle. And openly trying to kill the king in front of the whole army is a whole level of stupid. Aemond's character was assassinated.
It's most likely no One Will speak about It ,sunfire was not a war dragon thus useless against greater Ones , aegon Is disliked and no One Will speak against aemond Who owns the greatest weapon of the war and is already a kinslayer .
@@feliceabbondante5183 Sunfyre might not be a match for Meleys and Caraxes but he could very much kill dragons like Syrax, Vermax and Moondancer. Sunfyre is vital to back up Vhagar specially when the greens are already outnumbered in the dragon department.
@@masterplokoon8803 yes but the dragons you've mentioned are small and at most useful to Aid bigger dragons or to scout .
Sunfyre usefulness was seen as very low by aemond especially since aegon lacked in skill in dragon warfare
@@masterplokoon8803 Also aemond Is psychotic ...
And the council of aegon Is treacherous .
Yeah but in the crisis that follows, what choice do the Greens have? He's the only heir at this point.
When Aemond told Vhagar to wait , Vhagar was like “c’mon bruhhhhh” 🤣🤣🤣
I find it so cute. 🤣🥰😍☺️
If you read Fire and Blood, Aegon is still alive, but he’s severely injured.
I feel bad for Sunfyre and Meleys :(
This was personal. He knows Rahenys was an experienced arial combat, Ageon had no chance as you can see she was about to kill him anyways. Without a male heir he would become the king. He already won, there was no need for him to get his hand dirty. He did it because Aegon annoying him for his whole life.
She probably realized Aemond was as bad on the throne as aegon
The younger dragons getting hurt and killed always makes me so sad. They’re literally babies
I cannot believe that !!!
Its offical the writers hate team green man
I mean Aemond wouldn't do that at least in the books
The books aren't accurate actuallyl, the writer said so himself. They were written by the greens, so naturally they wouldn't have mentioned Aemond killing Aegon
@@bugcatcherjacky1334 also the books were written thats all you need to say because what happening in the show is what actually happened
@bugcatcherjacky1334 nah this isn't canon either, its the show writers changing st. The only canon is what comes to mind with grrm and the closest thing are the books.
They sure have altered them a lot .
All of the Greens are potraying as either completely mental or stupid beyond measures.
But for Aemond being like that towards his own blood is absurd.
@@NPC1173 its like so obvious of course in the books they gonna give all the credit to aegon for everything that happened because he was the king and the maesters who wrote the book supposedly
Aemond is a true kinslayer, killed his half nephew, cousin and even tried killing his brother. He must be stopped😢😢
I m only waiting to see his death in the show 😅
I don't like seeing dragons battles. It's like watching puppies getting hurt and dying.
Aegon isn’t dead. He takes control of dragonstone and feeds his sister to sunfyre
I for one can’t wait for that.
@@anoncat001 Same
Didnt want kill his cousin but just goes for his brother's life lol
With a brother like this, who needs enemies.
Why is aegon talking in non valryian 😂😂
Sunfyre understands though, look at the reaction 1:00
aegon's not dead lol
but he’ll wish he was since he’s pretty much disabled the rest of his life 😭
@@TyroneGlocksno worries. He’s dies …*peacefully*
@@TyroneGlocksEvrybody starts dropping like flies soon and one guy doesnt our boy Aegon. He still has a big role to play.
Aemond stole this episode, can’t wait to see what else he does this season!
Angōs Meleys hit differently 😢 what a fierce warrior she was tho 🔥
I love the effects and everything, but I don't really like how this betrayal is portraying Aemond, he never would've done this despite his dislike for his brother
Aegon was not killed , he ruled after his dragon ate Rheynaria in front of her son .
💥🔥💥🔥
Doesn't Joffrey say that to Margery?
I have to give it to aemond for the snake like personality. Hahaha. I like the camouflage of vhagar.
How small sunfyre is
Viserys was right the Targaryens should have never trifled with such power
Didnt realize Cole cared this much about Aegon.. nice to see somebody have a little sympathy for him for once i get tired of watching his entire family constantly treat him like shxt when they forced him to be king and the kid (besides his flaws) just wants to rule and be a somewhat normal king.
Cole was pretty much a father to aemond and aegon he loves those boys
I dunno, I feel like Cole's falling to his knees was less of an "oh no poor Aegon" and more of an "oh no I already was a fraud of a Kingsguard by breaking every vow and standard of the order, but now I've failed to protect the king, my one main job, I genuinely failed the White Cloak"
just earlier he was told to be unworthy of the white cloak and then he fails to protect the king, him, of all the nutsacks currently part of the kingsguard.
Cole likely realize that general warfare is moot when dragons are involve.
@@theyoungwolf9852he’s just doing it for that high tower 🐱
Except that King Aegon didn't die...
Aegon and Sunfyre are not dead, what kind of stupid video title is this
Sunfyre is the dragon that eats Rhaenyra
Ok butthurt
No dragons were harmed during the filming of this episode.
If it is true, that Aemond in the series killed king Aegon, it will be a complete plot disaster in relation to the source material.
Except that Aegon is not dead so Aemond did not kill him and the title is inaccurate
Nah he's not dead, but this will leave him badly injured.
Did nobody listen to Joffrey in season 3? Aegon isn’t dead lol
What did he say been so long since watching game of thrones
@@Vegitothegodkiller666-yp9nv Joffrey points to the pits while he’s escorting Margery, and says something like “this is where Aegon fed his sister to his dragon after she tried to usurp his throne, what’s left of her is buried down there”

Don't bring Sunfyre to a Meleys fight
Wasn't expecting that aemon killed him on purpose
he didnt
@@raphaeldbz he damn near did he ai t gonna be walk8ng anytime soon
@@dabz5955 he will and kill Rhanyera :)
Moral of the story here: Figure out how many crosshairs are you actually on before you sit on the throne. Aegon was delirious enough to put on shiny full metal and mounted on the most beautiful dragon to do the very thing he really suck at. On the other hand, Aemond had every reason to have Aegon away from the throne even just for a period of time. He could be regent prince at the very least since Aegon just so conveniently lost his heir. He could use the vacancy to differentiate him from how Aegon operate his court. Also Vhegar though formidable in size is not skilled enough for precise assault, Aemond could very well shift the blame of mutilating Aegon to whoever party was in the battle. Treachery does run deep within family.
I wonder if Aemond was going to kill Aegon if Sir Cole didn't come.
Didn't you see any thing .He was putting the sword when criston came
He wasn't going to kill him
Grandma Vhagar really has no qualms killing other dragons. Wow. Still my favourite dragon.
Visenya lives on in her.
@yammt3148 no doubt. I always wondered how Vhagar was so ill-tempered and vicious and then I remembered who her original rider was.
1:25 Jon Snow S8 stone logic 😂😂 she should have burned right there
Not really she’s wearing armor, the flame wasn’t directly on her and she wasn’t in it for long. People run through fire all the time. Plus Targaryen’s have a resistance to it
This is miles away from s8 logic, make that nautical miles
Aegon isnt dead lol
Aegon threw poor sunfyre into a battle against an experienced warrior.
Alicent's fault, that 🐩
Great episode!
Christon Cole and Aemond: *Make a plan of attack
Aegon: Leeerroooyyy Jeeennkkiiiiiiins
Poor dragon 😔 at least still alive
Rheanys resting in rooks rest is best thing that happened this season no hard feelings for her just for the toxic black fans
Despite his many terrible character flaws (let us not forget about the raping and child-fighting), I actually felt bad for Aegon. He had enough self-awareness to know that he would not make a good king. He didn't want it and was forced in to it. I think Aegon wanted to be a good king but just didn't know how-and his council wasn't helping him. They were not taking him seriously and trying to make him a fit king. Instead of lifting him up and truly supporting him, his council and family blatantly disregarded him, making no secret of using him as a puppet. Imagine seeing your brother coming to your rescue, only to realize that your worst fears have come true. Here we clearly see how Aemond and Daemon differ; Daemon would have never betrayed his brother like this. Betrayal cuts the deepest because it always comes from the people we trust.
Also, poor Sunfyre; his little greeting with Aegon at the Dragon Pit was cute 😔.
Well Vesris is right. The only thing that can tear the house of the dragons is it's self. Targaryens may be powerful. But they lack loyalty
*sigh*
I watch this again & really wish Rhaenys had not chosen to valiantly die in battle. She knows what she saw & I wish she had simply kept going & told Rhaenyra what happened back on Dragonstone. The knowledge of Aemond intentionally harming the King would’ve been a great source of leverage for her.
I hate seeing the dragons suffer for their stupid war. It was painful to hear sunfyre's cries. 😢
Can't stand how they are turning Aemond into this unrealistic unbeatable super villain who never fails. Reminds me of Ramsay Bolton.

It is a foolish kind of bravery. He didn't know that Meleys was going to be there. When he saw her he went ahead anyways. That shows that he is anything but a coward. It was his battle that's all.
