That's exactly why I hate this show. They take away agency from the characters. Aemond was vicious and hateful, Alicent (as well as Otto) was greedy and ambitious. None of this counts, however, because the show just goes "oh well, whoopsie, a misunderstanding" and "whoopsie, it was supposed to be a joke but dragon 🙆🙆🙆". And if the dragons are so uncontrollable, what did the Valyrians then do for thousands of years? How did Aegon I control a monster the size of Balerion for all these years without a single accident? Nah, I don't buy this half-assed excuse the show writers are giving the characters.
@@Truthaehnchen what does alicent and her father have to do with dragons? aemond was clearly attempting to scare lucerys not execute him. his dragon got pissed off and assumed she was in battle you know since vhagar used to be a war dragon, so she executed what she believed to be the enemy. luke hadn't gotten to the point of a master dragon rider you know since he was still a kid, instead letting his emotions take over which his dragon could feel and responded out of fear. what's so difficult for you to understand?
@@Truthaehnchen dragon also have a will of their own lmao. If you really thought that it was really possible for them to fully tame the dragons then idk what to tell you...
On the show they made it seem like it happened accidentally, or it was Arrax's fault. In the book, Aemond really wants to take revenge and kill Lucerys, on purpose.
or did he? remember that it was written by maesters years after the event happened. the fact is that vaghar ate arrax and luke, but whether aemond commanded that on purpose is questionable. this all feeds into the maester conspiracy theory
@@lisdraconis2212 it's more like the show is just another possible take on what could have happened. for example, the velaryons are pale skinned in the source but it works in the show that they are dark skinned. the show also has changes that are deliberately done and those changes are not book canon
@@maggyfrog The events were written by masters throughout the story not just one, just one couldn't be in all places at once to tell all those stories, there's also Mushroom telling more gruesome versions of these stories but he writes the ones he knows about in his time not before, yes it says in the begining of the book that it was written by Archmaester Gyldayn but should we believe that? It's 300 years of Targaryen history, he might've compiled these stories but he didn't tell them all since he wasn't there
these people aren't in this for the story. they're just making content for clout and views. no one that's normal actually watches shows like this, all set up and shit, and makes commentary the whole fucking time. that and the russian chick just fake crying. it's all so lame.
This scene showed petty well what happens when someone sees dragons as an instrument to inflict pain. Aemond provoked Luke and Arrax. Arrax was very likely very scarred. The storm, Vhagar and taking care of his rider. Out of fright he disobayed and spit fire at Vhagar who got really mad over this. She is a dragon who has seen much war and if someone harms her she gets into defence mode. That riled up too much and the result was Vhagar munching little Arrax up. Aemond is mostly to blame as he provoked this situation by following Luke. And the inexperiance of Arrax and Luke is also to blame, but that is not their fault. Luke was just 14 years old and Arrax most likely even younger.
Vhagar is the only Dragon you shouldn’t play chase with 😂 her and Caraxes. Vhagar is old af and has seen war. It was over soon as Arrax launched that fire on her face 😭
The war had already begun long before these events. In fact, Viserys began it by appointing Rhaenyra as his heir and subsequently not replacing her with Aegon, after he was born. Rhaenys could have ended this war in that scene.
@@swtiger Rhaenys kills hundreds of people, but won't kill Aegon and Aemond, which she knew would have prevented war. Her character in the show either wants as many people to die in the war as possible or is just insanely dumb.
I can see why you see it that way, however, you have to consider a few things. So the war hasn’t officially started yet, Rhaenys as we have seen isn’t green or black necessarily, which is why the Greens were willing to let her live to choose Aegon as her King. By mounting Meleys and attacking the crowd attending the Kings crowning, she was letting the Greens know exactly where she sided. But, she couldn’t go the full step of kins slaying, since in fact this wasn’t an actual war yet. Also worth noting, nobility, especially Targaryens, are known for not really caring about collateral damage.
I did not like lucerys. He took Aemond's eye, gave no apology instead taunted and laughed about it. One dance with Helaena is not going to make me like him. I was like he fucked around too much and then faced the consequences
Exactly, I feel like if he had gone face to face with Aemond and apologized like a man there’s a chance Aemond would’ve let it be but Lucerys laughed in his face instead. Honestly watching Aemond get rightful vengeance was entertaining and cool as.
@@KITN._.8 You forgot the small detail that lucerys was a child well under 10 years old when he plucked out the daemon's eye, who bullied him for something he was not to blame for, and suffered prejudice often for it.
Aemond started it by threatening Jace and Luke with a rock and taunting them about Harwin's death, and to say nothing of how he disrespected Baela and Rhaena.
@@ericleal157 You forget that prior to Aemond taunting lucerys, Aemond had already suffered years of bullying from them for something he had no control over. Also Lucerys is old enough to know right from wrong in the last dinner scene where he is seen smirking at Aemond for the pig.
@@ginichilders9619 Actually Rhaena and Baela started it by throwing the first punch. Like I am not gonna care of it is a girl or a boy, if you hit me expect to get hit back. Then jace and luke jumped in and ganged up on aemond 4vs1. You can clearly see Aemond lower the rock when lucerys slashes the knife,
Im surprised if Nikki and Steve still watch this after the dragons death, they gave up watching Planet of the Apes cos some of Apes got killed, pathetic
it's a damn 14 year old being torn apart by his own uncle because he defended himself against him when aemond beat up luke's relatives and bullied him for being a bastard.
Remember everyone. The riders didn't command the dragons to do these things. The dragons did this one their own
That's exactly why I hate this show. They take away agency from the characters. Aemond was vicious and hateful, Alicent (as well as Otto) was greedy and ambitious.

Annoying ASF
exactly, this is frustrating
Correct!
Arrax is so tiny, flapping his wings multiple times 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😭😭
My favourite thing here is Aemond's face after it happens. He knows he seriously fucked up.
And thus the Dance of the Dragons begins...

The books are written from the pov of a Maester, a Septon and a fool. The show is considered to be the telling of what really happened.

Sees a dragon chew another dragon into pieces and she goes ‘did he get chomped’ 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I'm more wonderous on how fast was Vhagar's approach from below. It looked like we was spearheading in 300 km/h or something.

they were both scared, young Luke and Arrax,.. so they fought back and tried to fly away,.. but that silly old granny dragon loose her shit
@@clintoyclintoy9025 and gave both Luke what he deserved long ago
When a giant dragon is looming over you, with a rider trying to torment you, I'm not surprised Arrax felt threatened
“Shit shit shiiiiitttttt”😂😂😂
Arrax 😩😩😩😩🖤
Did it munch him? Lol
“The arrogance of man is thinking nature is under our control, and not the other way around”
