- Hello everyone! I've loved the ASOIAF for years now and wanted to make a video discussing the meaning behind Aemond claiming Vhagar. What do you think of the theory? What do you think of #houseofthedragon so far? Be sure to leave a comment, as well as like the video and subscribe if you enjoy.
My Twitter: / quinnthegm - บันเทิง
Aemond: *rides Vhagar*
Vhagar: *in old lady voice* "Visenya, have we conquered Dorne yet?"
She’s still mad about Meraxes’ death.
Vhager has dragon dementia
Aemond: No, this is Aemond
Lmao.
Vhagar need glasses! She prolly though it was Visenya. 🤣🤣🤣
Spoiler Alert in my theory but I think there's a simple idea that Vhagar was ready to die. She's an old grumpy dragon who's grown so large she's cumbersome for herself. She sees the attitude of Aemond and perhaps with dragons being very magical beings in this world she knew that Aemond would be a headstrong warrior who would be willing to risk his life for a glorious death. Maybe Vhagar knew exactly how it would end for the both of them right when Aemond first approached her and decided that would be her path to death.
i like that theory it also provides another explanation for why she went after Arrax and Lucerys knowing it’d make the war inevitable
@@JahanMisra oooooh that is intriguing. She's like "fuck this let's fight"
I like it. Also, you say Vhagar was an old grumpy dragon; maybe Vhagar was always kind of a dick. Just like there are good people and bad people (well, jerks, I mean), maybe some dragons are just A-holes to begin with.
@@JELazarus This fits so perfectly with my own constant comparisons of dragons to giant, scaly, fire-breathing, flying cats. Sure, they'll bond to certain people with a deep degree of loyalty, but they also have a huge capacity to just be jerks because it's in their nature. No matter how well you've bonded, they're still predatory animals, (though dragons are probably much smarter than most cats), and they will behave as such. Like King Vizzy said, no matter what the Targaryens might think, dragons cannot be controlled.
@@JELazarusI agree with that, dragons have personalities, some are more docile, some more aggressive, and I like to think Vhagar has a nasty side to her personality, she's my favorite dragon lol
Aemond being the only one acknowledging Vhagar's roars of loneliness is a very special detail i'm really glad you pointed out. Aemond was very determinated and passionate about bonding with Vhagar, anyone who says he stole her or he didnt deserve her is just wrong.
Actually it was Layna Valerion who heard Vagar crying at night on the beach.
She asked Viserys about her, remember???
@@lanasjoynt485 no it happened in Driftmark. Aemond was the only one who could hear her.
@@lanasjoynt485 what are you on lol
@@jjh2456if you watch that episode you'll see Daemon looking up as well he also hears her when on the beach with Rhaenyra she asks who is it then we hear Vhagar roar an Laena had Vhagar since 15 I wish they'd shown us that how Laena claimed Vhagar
Vhagar most likely “theoretically” respected Aemond’s gall and bravery to even attempt what he did. She did give him a few looks back as if to say “you sure you want this?” When he didn’t relent she probably thought “alright, go ahead if you dare”
Yeah. Noticed how she tested Aemond on air to see if he might fall off. 🤣
She tried to shake him off. The young man has balls of steal 🤣.
@@born2WinCustom yup, she tested him, he passed, so she accepted him as her new rider.
I mean minus the time she was about to turn him into barbeque chicken 🤣
@@MartinVW1992 that was the point though. I think she wanted to see if he was frightened. When he showed he wasn’t she figured “if you live, you can have me”
Dragons are blind to human age (all of us look like children to them), so Vhagar already saw Aemond the way we see him as an adult.
Vhagar tests Aemond many times during the ride. It was a trial and he passed.
Vhagar saw the spirit of Visenya in Aemond...they are both warriors and ambitious. Aemond is the male Visenya of this generation
He's different from everyone
@@rajkumarn.t4581 Visenya is the best comparison
i would say daemon is the male visenya of this generation
@@rajkumarn.t4581 hes autistic
@@mohammadshahalam5763 exactly and he does wield her sword
While i do think Aegon gets attention being Alicent’s eldest, i do think its negative attention. We do see that Alicent has much more tender feelings for Aemond what with her comforting him after the pink dread. She goes to bat for him to Viserys after this. She also goes SO hard for him after the eye slashing. Alicent was PISSED at Aegon for not being there for Aemond and of course finally loses it while seeking justice for him. I think he takes her lessons of family and duty much more to heart than of the other green babies. He might be the secret favorite child!
This is a really good point, and one I hadn’t considered!
I 100% agree with you, the fact that he wanted to give Luke's eye to her and how he repeated her words that he owed a debt shows that he never forgot how she was the only one by his side that night. I really like their relationship.
Out in the open secret
I don't really think you can ever steal an adult dragon. If it doesn't want to you'll be burnt to a crisp before you can utter a single command.
Exactly!
@@QuinnTheGM It feels like a risky thing to promise to someone. Screaming “But Mommy promised!” as you burn because the dragon has other plans. Like taking a sabbatical and travel for a while. Explore more peaceful places than Westeros.
Right. Remember when Jon was about to ride Rhaegal, and he hesitated and said "What if he doesn't want me to?" And Daenerys answered "Then I've enjoyed your company, Jon Snow."
Did that happen to anyone?
@@MnM008 Happened to quite a few people who tried to claim adult dragons during the Dance. Sheepstealer was particularly dangerous that way.
Vhagar is basically a old lady with memory loss and almost blind, she just thought Aemond was Visenya 😆
I don’t think she would have tried to buy Visernya if so
Bro what ? The shit you black worshipers make up are ridiculous 🤣
I hope she doesnt have hearing problems too xD
Nah, she saw that Aemond was actually worthy of riding her by not sh*tting his pants when she woke up and opened her jaws, she could feel his inner strength through his commands in High Valyrian
Ik these are jokes, but its cringe how often people discredit Aemond
Dragon makes a choose, no one can steal a dragon...extra bonus when a dragon is big and powerful. Agree on the bravery.
Quite literally the biggest around!
@@QuinnTheGM No one in that universe could force that dragon to be enslaved to anyone. As they said - Dragon is not a slave. I am more team Black sure, but in this case, dragon belongs to Aemond, she choosed him, she could have burned him alive,she choose not to and let him see if he can handle flying with her. He did.
@@HodajuciParadoks Well, I am NOT Team Black. I think Team Black is just as much as hypocrites as Team Green. But I do agree with you, Aemond did not steal Vhagar, Aemond CLAIMED her.
Aemond basically told Baela : "You snooze, you lose".
Baela, the immature BRAT that she is, PHYSICALLY ATTACKED Aemond after that.
Aemond HAD EVERY RIGHT TO DEFEND HIMSELF.
@@Factboy12 he had every right to get his eye plucked from his head
@@bfeditingchannel1410 No, I disagree.
In the show at least, Leana had told her daughter in the previous episode that she didn't become a dragon rider until she was 15, that's when she claimed & bonded with Vhagar.
Good catch!
@@QuinnTheGMThank you. Also took it as foreshadowing of type to her eventually bonding her own dragon, when she told her however worded...
She may have it a little harder than her sister who was born to her dragon, but there is still more than one way to become a dragon rider, that she herself was many years without one & now she rides Vhagar the oldest & largest of them all...
Well no longer being as Leana is gone & Aemond has bonded with & is now Vhagar's rider
And Aemond claimed Vhagar at like 10-11 years old, the absolute madman
@@matpaterson8830 you mean the absolute targaryen
Vaghar has a type that’s for sure
warriors
Bravery being the distinctive trait
His quote that he considered losing his eye and getting Vhagar a fair transaction should tell you everything you need to know. Leana's girls had no entitlement to this dragon.
Exactly.
"iT wAs mY mOmmYs dRagOn sO nOw iT sHouLd bE miNe"
The entitlement...........
he tried to steal dreamfyre from his sister. nothing new with him.
Exactly. A dragon is not a car that just gets passed down through the family as a gift. Aemond earned Vhagar
@@matpaterson8830 why are people making this seem like he did something cool by claiming the dragon... That's the point of dragon riding, if a dragon is available u attempt to bind with it if it rejects u it burns u to a crisp, if uve read the books many targareyeans were killed trying to bind with wild dragons. The point that some people dislike in what he did is he was too craven to claim the dragon during the day in plain site of everyone, by earned? Do you mean he sneaked out the castle like a rat before anybody else could bcuz he knew what he was doing was wrong and was jealous with pent up rage his egg didn't hatch and did it while the girls were in mourning so they had no chance to attempt to bind. if vaghar rejected them then so be it but he knew what he was doing was wrong that's the point there's nothing cool about what he did or awesome... they were in mourning he used the opportunity end of nothing was earned. Oh well he's not lasting very long anyway
@@rohanshende4338 he dies anyway short lived rider lol
Kinda surprising that viserys doesn’t have a stronger bond with Helena, did he just forget about his “dreamer” ancestors he seemed so fascinated by when explaining the prophecy to Rhaenyra??
Right? My only thought as to why that might be the case is his weakened state, he seems quite out of it.
@Agus Dev If this is true I hope we get to actually see it
My guess is that they didn't show Viserys preferring Helaena more than her brothers due to time constraints as it doesn't advance the plot in any way.
He did in the books.
Probably because she rambles in riddles and doesn't make sense. She sounds crazy or weird at best. Doesn't sound much like a dreamer or like visions.
Cool Idea!
Alternate perspective: Tyrion suggests that dragons may be more intelligent than humans. It may be interesting to consider Aemond as a means to Vhagar's mysterious ends. She was old, lumbering, and perhaps lonely (due to her being heard "crying" when she was riderless prior to Laena). Maybe she chose Aemond as a means to find purpose and go out on a high note. In short, it doesn't matter if Aemond is worthy, just that he is useful.
I really like that perspective!
Vhagar new Aemond would grow to be a man of singular vision.
This is my favorite pun I’ve seen in this comment section.
Almond went from Rickon Stark status to Kal Drogo chadness in just one scene and I'm kneeling for him!!!
Hey Rickon could be pretty cool in the books, given his time on Skagos.
@@QuinnTheGM sorry, as in show development, he was cool in the books but it really didn't need to be off screen
I wish his name was Almond, way more fun 😁
@@renegade7548 Almond Targaryen, first of his name
Almond 😂
I absolutely love the sounds the dragons make. Whoever was in charge of that, chef's kiss to you! Perfection!
ESPECIALLY Caraxes
@@QuinnTheGM caraxes sounds damn cool! That creepy sound makes him more psycho and scary ! Otto probably peed in his pant when caraxes showed up in 2nd episode 😂😂
“A dragon is not a slave”
You cannot steal a dragon 😅
Exactly, and there are plenty of stories in the book of people being rejected by the dragons.
@@bertellijustin6376 yes! zaldrizes buzdari iksos daor 😉
Aemond suffered greatly. Remember that he is a child who was maimed. He deserved to get slapped around a little for having a mouth, but he in no way deserved to get maimed for life over it. And basically Dragons choose whoever they want, you don’t choose a dragon. They choose you. There’s no way to know that Raena would have been chosen. Just because a Dragon allows you to ride them, it doesn’t mean that the Dragon will allow your child to ride.
Exactly my point!
Hdi
Yes he has a mouth but he also threatened to kill one of the boys twice in this seen. So yes, he deserved what he got. He instigated the whole fight because his ego and pride and thinks he better.
If someone threatened or attempted to bash one of my siblings head in, I would definitely hurt them!
@@mandyland5957 What nonsense. He didn't care about any of those kids. They confronted him and accused him of "stealing" a dragon. They landed the first blow.
Besides, soon the one who took his eye would face the consequences!
@@mandyland5957 you act like he just chose to say that. Those 4 brats wanted to start the problem.
The words he spoke, probably learned from the trainers, led to the dragon giving him a chance being she lost her rider in such a dramatic way.
I like that veigar is a little green in her coloring and now serves the greens
I’d noticed that too! It’s almost like she’s so old that plant matter is growing on her.
Vhagar was mourning, and emotionally weakened from killing her own rider...
Aemond was lucky not to get burned alive, but showed bravery by standing his ground, telling Vhagar to calm down, to serve, so she gave him a chance...
Wouldn’t that make Vhagar more dangerous and more likely to kill Aemond 🤣
@@Ronruk ••••• yes, it could've definitely gone the other way, but Vhagar probably saw Aemond's large balls of Valyrian steel dragging along the dirt, glistening in the moonlight. 🤷
@@J.D.Vision I agree
@@J.D.Vision I want to laugh. And then I want to call the FBI on you. That’s child pron, SIR!!!!
@@StrilanGaming shut up, it was a metaphor
I agree for the most but Aemond is definitely Alicent's favorite child. She is always comforting and encouraging him. She went berserk when Rhaenyra's sons cut his eye and demanded justice. On the other hand, we have Aegon, Alicent is always harsh with him and scolds him for his behavior towards Aemond. She also slapped and blamed Aegon for Aemond's mistake and fight with the Velaryon kids. Some might say this is to toughen him up for becoming the king but nonetheless it is evident that Alicent prefers Aemond. Otto treats Aegon the same, he is very harsh towards him and even aggressive as Alicent is. That's why I think Aemond is the favorite and not Aegon. As for Viserys he definitely prefers Rhaeneyra and her sons.
Or maybe just maybe
Aemond is literally the younger while aegon the bigger brother has responsibilities to the throne and to his younger siblings that he's not taking seriously,
Just because a parent is harsh on one of their children doesn't mean they like them less than the other , it just means the others are more responsible and needs less tough love
@@spunkymaniac9312 That’s bullshit. There’s a difference between being strict and being abusive (which is what Alicent is to Aegon). She scolds him for mocking Aemond, reasonable enough. However, she slaps him and shamed him infront of everyone for Aemond’s actions. She held her older son accountable for the behavior of her younger son while literally saying nothing to Aemond. She doesn’t scold him nor discipline him for sneaking in the dragon pit or stealing a gigantic dragon. When she was talking to Aegon about Rhaenyra she became aggressive and grabbed him by the face. Being tough on your child is not the same as being aggressive and crazy with them. Also, it’s nowhere implied that Aegon is supposed to be watching Aemond before the scene where she slapped him. Her favorite is clearly her younger son.
@@Dreamfyre That is a natural instinct for a parent. You are frustrated by your childs action, you get pissed off at his older sibling for not being there for them when they're needed the most. To be fair though alicent was ready to slap just about anybody lmao
@@nightgodd7865A deranged parent’s instinct. Better said. No sane parent slaps their child because their other child fucks up. I can’t even believe some of you find this normal…she has nothing but understanding and compassion for Aemond but shits on Aegon at every opportunity even for Aemond’s actions.
P.S I’m the younger child and my older sister didn’t get slapped if I messed up. If both of us do then we both get scolded and the older one is reminded of the responsibility of an older sibling. But if I alone do something and my sister isn’t even present how is that her fault to get slapped lol? Alicent logic.
@@JohnSmith-zn4uf Alicent and Otto are too much on top of him. They push him to toughen up, drag him, slap him and shit on him constantly. They basically push him into the idea of becoming the king while he only wants to jerk off from a window lol.
Vhagar knew she would have a lot more fun with him than the others 😊. Anyway, I admire how GRRM consistently thinks about the nature of his characters and their motivations. Impressive that it possibly extends even to the dragons.
Right? It’s wonderful.
Aemond was a fucking savage this episode
He was a fucking chad.
@@zxylo786 How? He beat up some kids half his age. The little bitch only wins fights in the books because he always picks on weaker or smaller people. I get it now, he westerosi trump to you lot isn't he?
@@zxylo786 giga chad
He's definitely stolen the crown,so to speak,from Daemon as my favorite character atm. He's like the Date Masamune of the show ;)
She sniffed him 2 to 3 times and growled at him but he still persisted. She probably sensed his need of her.
Definitely a possibility, due to the magical connection between dragon and rider!
Vhagar actually chose him possibly through the activities that took place during the funeral. Vhagar was like a spectre calling to him. Appearing and disappearing I'm flights. No one else noticed except of the kid willing to risk it all
Aemond is just badass
He really is!
Congrats on reaching MORE than the 1000 subs! :) Good job
Thank you!
really great listen while i am having specially cooked nonspicy indian food, being in another country and being so hyped up for this show is a feeling that doesnt compare. thank u for the worthwhile insights!
Thank you!
Oh yes my favourite psychopath 😂
(Already mentally not prepared for all his savagery and war crimes that is about to come)
Team Black BUT I can't help it but to cheer & look forward of Ewan Mitchell's performance as Aemond 'One-Eye' Targaryen.
Just based on the trailer he looks like the perfect heel.
Aemond heel turn followed up by a Viserys with a pipebomb. Great episode.
Paddy killed it this episode.
Tbh I wouldn’t say he turned heel this episode they literally accused him of stealing and then jumped him
@@daquaviousbingleton9763 there are no good guys or bad guys in this war. It’s just a shitstorm of people in a meat grinder trying to stay on top by pushing everyone else down first.
@@daquaviousbingleton9763 the actor himself even said he had a villain turn after he got off Vhagar lmao
this was indeed his heel turn
Love ur channel. Hope to see it grow, wish you luck blood of my blood.
Many thanks!
Vhagar sounded in pain, mourning when he called throughout the day, night. He was ordered by his rider to kill her. Vhagar fought with herself over that order, shaking her head but she sees her rider's pain, senses the direness of the situation.
The time is ripe. Mutual need, bravery established the link.
I just found out there is a part of youtube where people debate about mythical creatures from books and not politics. I like it here. I’m staying.
I loved Aemond's face as he was building up the courage to run off and go challenge Vhagar...it looks like he just can't take it anymore, the desire to do this has been eating away at him his whole life and he finally snaps, decided to do it, live or die.
Awesome video mate...slight improvement to the audio from the mic and you're golden
I am working on the mic situation! Thank you!
Aemond is 100% my fav character rn and I wanna see him win.
Uhhh, you read F&B?
@@hugocoolerkanalsmal3172 no clue what that is mate
@@AymuM Good. Don’t get spoiled by the source material for this series. Trust me, HOTD gonna be epic
@@AymuM Yeah unlike with the main series where the novels are so much more detailed and thought out, HotD will probably be more expansive than the Fire & Blood section on this. I would just stick to the show if I was you to keep the suspense up.
I will always defend Aemond. Fire and blood is very bias to the blacks. I’m glad we will get to see the intimate moments of characters that seem 1 dimensional. I hope we see more of the trauma that Aemond had after his attack. The fandom seems to break their backs to justify any abuse too Aemond. I think alys rivers will be a big way to humanize Aemond
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Bat-Kaled average black supporter and blood and cheese justifier
Aemond disrespected their dead mother and then called them bastards after claiming their familial dragon. He was completely a villain here.
To quote his brother, he’s a twat
@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba he called a spade a spade then got jumped by 4 kids and maimed over name calling. Y’all are actually delusional
Aemond did what his mother alicent did with visarys....He got him when he was volunerable and grieving and alone
Ooooooweeeeee!?…… oooooowwwwwweeeeeee
cry more!!
Amazing analysis 😊
Loved your insight
I’d imagine because along with daemon he’s the most Targaryen like Targaryen alive, a worthy mount
Aemond really be that rebound guy
When they said that aemond 'stole' the dragon that says that they only thought of the dragon as an object that can be stolen... Dragons are wise and can make decisions.
Yep. A dragon is not a slave.
Congrats on 1K subs!!!
Thank you! I’m still in shock, to be honest.
someone said that Vhagar choose Aemond because she wanted to relive her youth and she wanted to commit war crimes
(Vhagar speaking in Grandma voice)
Vhagar: *Visenya, have we conquered those fucks from Dorne yet?*
Aemond: *Right right, come this way so we may burn this castle*
Subbed! Looking forward to more videos
New one coming out today! Thank you!
"You look like you'll take me to my death in battle"- Vhagar
She just wants a quick end at this point.
Aemond is Special becoz he got the family genes of Daemon lol 🤣
These two will rule this show in the upcoming season's!
There’s a reason their names are so similar!
You realize you are a powerless loser who will never be anything in real life right? Idk why you incels always have these edgelords as PFP's and worship/live through them. THAT WILL NEVER BE YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A KEYBOARD WARRIOR, LIVING THROUGH FICTIONAL CHARACTERS.
Upcoming seasons? It’s already flying through the story so fast I’m genuinely curious just how far this show will go into the timeline? Or maybe we will only have 1 MAYBE 2 seasons then we will start getting multiple spin offs that only last 1 or 2 seasons kinda like how marvel is doing with their tv shows. 🤷🏼♀️ I like the pacing though, I don’t feel as though I’ve missed out on bonding with characters like others are saying.😵💫
@@CallMeKittyRawrr There's gonna be two more season's. Dance of the dragons storyline wil start from the next episode and It's a quite long story so don't worry. There's at least two more season's.
Aemond like older females.
Good video- subscribed 👍
Thank you!
Good vid . Subscribed
Thank you!
My favorite part about the episode was literal kids beating the shit out of each other LMAO. Don't see that every day!
Aemond had a nice glow up not gonna lie
He certainly found his confidence!
You got that thousand good job yee 🤙💯
Thank you! :D
I think the best way to explain the use and decision to have the kids say someone "stole" vhagar is because that was all they could comprehend at that age.
What makes Aemond interesting to me is the writing
Absolutely agree, he’s much better written than he was in fire and blood.
Personally I think a lot of people are missing the point that it’s not Aemond claiming Vhagar that makes him viewed in a bad light. But the matter of him sneaking out in the dead of night of Laena’s funeral to claim her dragon. A dragon is not a slave and a dragon chooses who it wants but we forget that dragons have chosen multiple people to ride them. Meaning that the chances of Vhagar choosing Baela aren’t as slim as it is made out to be. Then to turn around and flaunt it after claiming it just adds insult to injury and invites what happened to him.
Him claiming Vhagar in the night of Laena's funeral isn't any worse than Rhaenyra and Daemon got together after the said funeral. And he was the only one who heard Vhagar's cried and reacted to it, I don't think the circumstances surrounding his claim shouldn't be viewed as bad at all. The fight after that might be, but kids from both sides are in the wrong.
Been trying to get my brother to watch GOT but can he watch HOTD with out watching GOT what you guys/girls think ?
I think so! They’re quite disconnected in all elements but lore. I’d recommend an introduction video beforehand, there are some great ones by Alt Shift X and Glidus.
There is the possibility of Quentyn beeing alive in the books, because there are only burnt bones left of him, so it could be anyone. Earlier in the books Dany thinks that burnt bones mean nothing, just like it was shown in this episode.
I very nearly mentioned that, but didn’t want to distract from the main point I was making! That’s a very interesting theory.
Quentyn dies of his injuries in Dance. He was alive for a few days after Rhaegal breathed fire on him.
@@QuinnTheGM that point is dumb AF and theory about Quentyn being actually alive is made by people who seems to lack skill of reading with understanding. It was stated that Quentyn was heavily damaged by the dragon's fire. His skin was burned, he was like a pulp of half backed bacon dying and crying for few days before he died. After he was found out by the guards, Selmy ordered them to take him to Queen's chamber where he was taken care of (also by Missandei) until he died due to heavy injuries.
I always said Vhagar likes her riders a bit crazy lol. Other than Laena, Visenya & Aemond are kinda mad.
Vhagar looks awesome. I hope there will be flashbacks so we can see Meraxes and the OG Balerion.
*Raspy NY voice* “he wanted it more. He had the guts of a burglar” 😂😂😂😂
Really enjoying the show but wish they would show more of the connections and characters of the dragons, at least introduce all of them with some kind of synopsis on each
Knowing what we know about "that" battle. It's crazy that Vhaegar was Daemon's Father and then Wife. That must have been weird for him.
It really must’ve been!
I've been thinking about that a lot lately... How did Daemon feel at the end? That was his wife and his nephew. Even if he hated them or was just doing it cause it was his duty there's got to be some emotions involved... It also makes me wonder how Vhaegar felt... Going from flying peacefully side by side to being against eachother. I know they say she's unforgiving, but still...
I just like to think that by Vhagar being originally Visenya's dragon, a badass rider who did tons of shit with her, she saw in Aemond more than enough potencial to do some shit before passing out of old age like Balerion. Gadly to see some people think the same
If they do not have valarian blood chances of them trying to claim the dragon are slim, but laena said she didn’t claim a dragon till she was 15 when talking to her daughter
Who was bigger , Vhagar or Miraxis? (Sorry if spelling is off).
At the time, I think Vhagar, though I’m not sure if that’s officially stated.
@@QuinnTheGM thank you for responding . that will get ya a sub and bell.
that daughter who was shouting her dragon was "stolen" should have listened to her mother leana who explained that dragons are not inherited and dragon chooses the rider in last episode.
remember daemon was carrying out an eye for an eye justice on many people in king's landing in 1st episode.
to clarify, aemond was 1st physically attacked by the entitled 4(2 of them taking part in bullying him in past, 3 of them barely younger than him), who ganged up on him and falsely accused him of stealing the dragon and then started with blows ( he clearly didn't start , they did). 1st twin pushed him, he pushed her back. 2nd one punched him, he punched her back. etc. he was replying in proportion. he didn't use the stone. he just threatened, even took it down when others backed down for a moment in the middle
i think the issue is a matter of respect and decorum. aemond should have at least said something about trying to claim vaghar. nobody can deny him that because dragons are not property or slaves.
him "stealing" vaghar is akin to daemon "stealing" a dragon egg. technically, they should be allowed to do so, but it's just crass that they didn't even say anything.
I feel like when laena killed herself it created some sort of blood magic anomaly blood magic is how the valyrian sheep herders initially tamed dragons
That’s a really interesting theory! Ties into what Nettles eventually does as well.
Vhagar was in mourning and he saw Aemknds disgust and hate for the Targaryns etc and thought destroy everyone was a good revenge for Leanas death.
Great video. How was Vhagar calling out to Aeomon specifically?
He’s the only one who seems to notice her presence through the beginning of the episode! He hears her call, and sees her circling above the clouds.
@@QuinnTheGM it’s like interpreting moss code

Something tells me that it's not nearly as much that a rider claims a dragon as much as it's that the dragon claims a rider.
It always seems like the rider is trying to prove to the dragon that they're worthy than vice-versa.
everytime i see young Aemond i think of lindsay lohan in parent trap 2:47
I think a lot of watchers have been looking at the idea of "stealing" Vhagar from the perspective of, well, Vhagar. Of course you could not make her do anything she did not want to do. But honestly it really is not about Vhagar, but rather her aspiring riders. It's an established tradition for Targaryens to ride the dragons of their deceased close relatives if they do not already have one. It would have been viewed as an expected next step, for Rhaena to at least attempt to master Vhagar, as it was her mother's own dragon. Aemond knew this, that is why he went in the night before the funeral was even finished.
I think it may be a misconception that dragons will only approve of one rider in a generation. They will only have one rider at a time, but it is possible they might find multiple Targaryens worthy. That is when it becomes "first come first served." In this sense, Vhagar loved Laena. It is possible that Rhaena's egg did not hatch because she was destined for Vhagar, but whatever the case, given how much Vhagar cared for Laena, it is entirely possible, she would have allowed the very determined Rhaena to be her rider. In this sense, Rhaena, who should have been givent he chanse first as tradition dictated and may have been selected, would feel robbed by Aemond who rushed out in the middle of the night before the funeral was even finished. It makes him seem desperate and disrespectful-- not brave. Vhagar allowed it, but that does not discount the fact that he flouted tradition and propriety and stole his cousin's chance to have her own mother's dragon out from under her nose after being invited to the funeral. Only to then beat up two helpless girls and nearly murder the second in line to the iron throne. He's lucky he only lost an eye.
Dragon for an eye? He broke tradition? so what? Do they live in a moral world?
You shouldn’t have to be worried about spoiling stuff we should be able to have conversations without worried about hurting someone’s feelings because they’re too damn slow and they’re looking shit up they shouldn’t be looking up
I respect that some people want to experience the story without knowing the plot in advance.
Right, blogs are for discussing sh💩t.
The girls assumed someone had stolen Vhagar because they did not believe Aemond was anywhere near her. They weren't saying Aemond stole her, even tho they essentially felt that way when they discovered it was him due to their perceived entitlement. They had no idea if Vhagar would have accepted any of them so it was just due to being upset their mom was dead more than really about Vhagar.
Vhagar maybe my favorite dragon in the TV shows she's been the most expressive and I'd love to see her in further shows
How did he lose his eye in the books? Or is it the same?
The situation is a little shuffled around, but broad strokes the story of losing the eye is the same.
#TeamGreen
I’m legitimately neutral at the minute, I like characters on both sides.
@@QuinnTheGM that’s fine I’m fully on team green though 🤷🏾♂️ the fandom seems to be heavily team black online. And I feel the show is being extremely biased towards team black. I’m starting to believe because the stigma of bastardy doesn’t fully register with our generation
@@QuinnTheGM we clearly live in an age of rampant bastardy. So the show needs to properly emphasize that team black isn’t as relatable as our generations seems to think they are
@@PresterMike
Yep...you are so right about that. To this generation it's "normal" to be a bastard but in this universe it has real implications.
One sub closer
i bet this video has really shocked you, its trending over 60k views your biggest so far and i bet when you got 24k off your helaena video you got excited. Keep up the videos your channel will soon take off, i will subscribe.
It really did! Thank you!
@@QuinnTheGM will be nice to see how you grow the channel, try not to lock yourself into one subject as it means your channels life is tied to the show.
At 3:09 I can hear your pizza rolls being done 😂
Great video otherwise ! 🐉 🔥
Waffles, not pizza rolls! 😂
SPOILER !!!!
Ah Vhagar and Ceraxes The battle above the gods eye will be hard on them they had flown together daily for 5 years with Deamon and Leana 🙈
But probably the most epic fight in all the ASOFAI
And Vaghar Vs. Meleys, her rider mother and her dragon 😔
The poor Dragon was morning A pretty traumatic lose, I imagine the Historical hereditary guardian feels a bit of confusion with it's sadness (& probably a little guilty 🤷) when I consider it was probably the first and only time a Rider has asked it to do that...
Prince A- (for Royal A-H👁️LE!) got that Dragon on the rebound 🤦.
🐉 She was game for any hot blooded Royal speaking Valerian..
That only could make the Dragon kill aegon faster🤣
*Aemond is not the other one out , he is just a middle child* 😝 that’s how we are treated , we are only claimed when the elder ones fail
Anyone knows where Vhagar stays when Aemond is in the red keep?.... she can't fit in the dragon pit
Can't believe there are people acting like Aemond was the villain when the other 4 kids started the fight and then took out his eye. Not to mention they bullied him in the last episode
Definitely blame on both sides there, I don’t think it was really anyone’s fault. Aemond did escalate it by trying to bash Jace’s head in with a rock though.
@@QuinnTheGM he did not try to bash anything. I don’t get what you people are seeing. He had the rock In his hand. Did he swing it ??? No he didn’t. He had it in his hand because of defensive measures
He is evil
@@peterrexha5653 he had the rock with the intent to kill it was obvious. He didnt respect his cousins and called them Bastards. He was also winning the fight before he picked up the rock he knocked all the kids off of him before he picked the rock up. Rheyneras kids were just faster. Both sides are at fault but if u think Aemon wasnt going to kill 1 of them or possibly both of Rheyneras Children idk what u were watching! Queen Allision has also been filling both Aemon and Aegons mind with BS as well so that doesnt help!
He is the villain
Aemond one-eye is a G, and dragons choose worthy riders. It's that simple.
Vhagar: Visenya? How did you shrink?
Wish we saw examples of dragons rejecting new riders in the show to make it look like it's more than just walking up to a dragon and mounting it.
Agreed. We may see that in the future!
