Guys Vahgar is a female dragon
@@ReelRejects 🖤
Rhys Ifans - Rees E-Fans. It really isn’t that difficult to pronounce.
*Schadenfreude
@@loverofthearts222love that. I didn’t know that!
The way Meleys looked back at Rhaenys as she died
I literally cried when Meleys looked at her.
@@mariawinzler I started crying when Rhaenys said to meleys it's time to go out to battle again
I was hysterical crying🥺😭😭😭😭
@@KillerMami001that’s when the tears started for me too 😢 she knew
LIKE its so sad, meleys was my fave dragon along with Syrax 😭😭😭 the connection they have with their riders 💔
the way i'm crying over cgi dragons is not ok
It’s the sorrowful sounds they make,I can’t stand it 😭
The folks doing the sound design are killing it. Each dragon has unique sounds.
They are like giant winged dogs. I had to look away.
Yeah I got humbled real quick by my fiancé for crying over this last night😅
💯💯💯
Aegon barely being able to speak Valyrian was hilarious, perfectly exemplifying his lack of work ethic
Was that a motherfucking Godfather reference??
He can understand more than rhaenyra's kids 😂
@@CodLiverOil8lol no. Rhaenyra's kids properly learned it whereas the pretender was just r-ping innocent girls.
@CodLiverOil8 Luke spoke Valyrian to his dragon, while Aegon could not. We saw Jace speak better than him too
@@Hafsah_Adil aegon spoke Valyrian to his dragon 🤦🏻♀️
Daemon was not kidding that Carax and Meleys could have killed Vhagar together.
Yeah if he hadn't ran off to play king he could've been there. They would've taken out vhagar and the war would be over
@@Ketchup_and_Mustard373 Blame Rhanera for being unprepared, why did she go visit Alicent instead of preparing? She’s making no smart moves
@@Ketchup_and_Mustard373Rhaenyra went to meet Aliscent proposing a deal that she knows can't work instead of doing what she would do eitherway , her timing to make moves Is terrible.
@@therealtoure6368 This whole show is just every other Targaryen being better for the throne than rhaenyra and aegon tbh
This 🙌@@Oncewasacco
Its sad that Sunfyre was the only living thing that we've seen in the series show any affection towards Aegon. I thought it was cute he nudged Aegon when greeting him
Was? Sunfyre is alive
Honestly we should have seen their bond earlier in the show, it's described as quite strong in the books.
@@leonrussell9607 yes is, thats my bad
Losing Rhaenys is devastating both in the story and the show as a whole. Eve Best was one of the greatest parts of this show and I'm truly gonna miss her.
Can't have a Game of Thrones series without killing off important characters.... Sadly, it was her. She had so much wisdom and insight in the series and brought a lot to the table.
She was the perfect casting for Rhaenys. I’ll miss her so much, but it’ll make rewatching the series so good.
It will hardly affect the show lol. She was a secondary character. We're talking about Game of thrones, a show where they've killed off multiple MAIN characters and the ratings went UP.
I really feel for Corlys. Most affectionate marriage in the show.
@@ameliacraiig4193 idk he cheated on her and had two bastard sons. Not so affectionate afterall
Criston Cole: SEND THE SIGNAL FOR VHAGAR!
Aemond: "New Phone Who Dis?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This comment doesn't even make sense.
@@ulquiorracifer5493 It's a Gen Z thing, I think.
@@ulquiorracifer5493 They called for Vhagar. Aemond didn't answer. The joke is he got a new phone and don't know whos calling him so he ignores it.
@ayoitzshy I'm aware of the meaning, it just doesn't apply to this situation at all.
Also I love how even though Meleys died we got to see her basically manhandle Sunfyre and give Vhagar a good hit or two. She really was a fighter.
So you also must have seen the hit Vhagar give to Meleys got her doing the war machine from captain America civil war lmao
Vhagar completely chomped meleys in that ambush. Shows how experienced she is.
@@Noone91875Vhagar has size above all else. Even the most experienced dragon would die if she managed to get her mouth around one.
@@Noone91875ambushing is Vhagar's thing, cause her old ass isn't out pacing any of the other dragons.
@@Noone91875 Settle down, wierdo. Vhagar hides. When Vhagar went head to head with Meleys, ole big back woke up face down - 🍑up. So much for battle-hardened.
Aemond is a straight up menace. You know he was getting ready to finish Aegon off before Cole showed up
Yeah.
He could have done us all a favor and got rid of the witness.
You have no idea who Aemond is yet he's far worse than Aegon, if being casually willing to off your own brother for a crown isn't proof enough of that@@scotthewitt258
@@scotthewitt258 Wildin😆
Shoulda killed them both
Love Aemond!❤
“With a glad cry and the crack of her whip she had turned meleys towards the foe” rip the queen who never was
Good she deserved it after killing hundreds of innocent people
Oh man they should’ve given her her whip! Especially since she isn’t as nimble or spry as a young dragon lord like Aemond.
@@DNotzzironically actress did receive a whip in season 1
@@DNotzz I'm glad she didn't have a whip. This way it was like they went out together as old war partners where if she was a whip it's more like she's forcing her dragon to it's death
@@DNotzzfr
Actually felt really bad for Sunfyre because he has never been in a fight before, so he was so outmatched compared to Meleys. I actually found Sunfyre cute when he came out to greet Aegon ❤
Yeah he was a good boy
Has Meleys been in a dragonfight before? I don't think so. She was first ridden by Alyssa, Viserys & Daemon's mother but she died in her 20s & never fought. Rhaenys was her second rider and had never fought before this, unless you consider what happened (show-only) during Aegon's coronation a "fight."
@@vadalia3860 no fights that were shown to us, but before heading to the battle Rhaenys says Meleys is “no stranger to battles”, implying they have had their share of fights together. I believe Rhaenys is also 70 years old? Meleys is also an older dragon so we can assume they have seen action prior to this. I haven’t read the books yet to confirm, I’m just going by characters behavior and words
I could be very wrong in my details like I said I’m going by what I’ve currently watched (I do plan to read the books though!)
@@Dragonlady141Rhaenys at least in the books is in his late 50s (I don’t know her age in the show) but his dragon Meleys is over 80 years old and its an experienced war dragon.
RIP Rhaenys :(
I got choked up when Meleys looked back at her as she was about to die 😭
@@awhartig5847Yeah that was such a great touch and then Aegon before he sets off with Sunfyre….I’ve appreciated how they’ve shown us the bond between dragon and dragon rider
I was hysterical at the Dragon deaths and Reaneys 😢
RIP to The Queen 👑 who never was 😭😭
@@awhartig5847 I did too, as well. It was sad to see maesys look back at rehaenys. Knowing their end had just arrived. They both died in glorious battle.😓
Maelys and Princess Rhaenys were total badasses. May they RIP
She was so badass, was hands down my favorite character 😢
Meleys* Maelys is a whole different character
@@hectormiranda1088 Meleyes, Rhaenys, Maelys, Daemon, Aemond- it’s all just too much. At this point it doesn’t matter to me 😭
Rhaenys went out like a fucking QUEEN! So did her dragon. RIP to the queen who should have been.
I have to admit.. Aemond diabolically glaring down at a falling
Rhaenys/Meleys, had my heart pumping into overdrive…
Truly an anime villain moment lmao 💚
Agree!!! Undeniably one of the best castings in the show. Ewan Mitchell’s portrayal as Aemond is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!💥
He cant help but serve
Yeah. Kinda cool... & hot.❤
You guys digging aemond then
Meleys and Rhaenys looking at each other just before the fall 😭
This was crazy! Aemond burning Aegon on purpose. His ambitions are really taking over. I think it's a nice parallel to Daemon. He coveted the crown but would've NEVER turned against/harmed Viserys. He loved his brother. Aemond is clearly a different breed. I loved the first look Meleys gives Rhaenys "Are we going back?" and the last look is like "Sorry, I tried my best." Sucks, but this was really well done. RIP Rhaenys!
The last look makes me think Meleys was also saying to Rhaenys something like “See you on the other side sister, its been an honor”
The queen that never was went out fighting like a badass🔥🔥🔥
Difference is Viserys was a good king. Aegon was a little shit who didn't take it seriously. Aemond had zero respect for his brother where Daemon did and both of those opinions are based on merit. I'd be willing to be that if Viserys behaved the way Aegon did, Daemon would've acted differently.
True. Then Again Viserys Never Bullied Daemon
Not you making me bawl all over again with the "Sorry i tried my best" OMG like WHY, why couldnt she just have gone back home to re group i didnt need a full ride or die moment yet ugh im so sad
@@duhbeans5600exactly this. Daemon had something to respect in Viserys. He was the Warrior whilst his older brother was the wise one who vigorously studied the histories. Aemond has nothing to respect in Aegon, he is both weaker and less read and studied then him. He can barely speak their ancient tongue.
Daemon's Harrenhall visit has been so hilarious to me, im half expecting him to storm out next episode, waving Dark Sister around like "I'm getting the FUCK out of this cursed place, I'm going mad here!"
Yeah Daemon is nerfed to a crying boy on mushrooms this season.
😂😂😂😂fr
"THIS HOUSE SHO GONE CRAZY!!" 😅😅😅
Mad man with a dragon, meet mad man in a box lol
Writers hated him being the fans favorite last season so they are keeping him away from the cool stuff. But his moments to shine will come! @@josecanal7556
I can see why "Targeryens are closer to gods than to men".
Seeing dragons fighting above are like gods in this universe.
These dragons don’t deserve to be treated as such. Literally sobbing.
All the cute little baby lambs and goats will be happy if that helps. What if they eat baby whales or dolphins, they could even have a stash of baby pandas somewhere?
@@Megasaurusify Okay, but you know Orcas are Dolphins.
I love how everyone stopped fighting once Vhaegar show up.... and Rhaenys would have gotten away but she stood like a Queen! Meleys beautiful dragon😭😭😭
She should have retreated after dropping sunfyre. It was clearly a trap and she knew she had little chance of winning. Now Rhaenyra has lost her biggest dragon and best advisor, for what? Aegon was useless.
@@DC3328 I yelled twice that she shouldve retreated. But Rhaenys probably had the thought of redeeming herself for not burning the greens during the coronation of the usurper by taking down both. But that is just me.
@@DC3328 she probably think, this is the best change they had to take down Vhagar. Or at least incapacitated it. And it's def not a reach since she manage to take it down for a while.
@@DC3328 We still have Vermithor, second largest living dragon to show up later.
*Spoiler Warning*
At least in the books, Vermithor gets claimed by the bastard son Hugh the Blacksmith.
@@erickchristensen746 Looks like they are going down that path, we have already been introduced to Hugh Hammer
The speed at which you get these out is commendable. As commendable as rhaenys’ sacrifice
They have early access
@@Gallowglass7obviously
This must have been a pre watch
Like they got the first 4 before everyone else
Too soon😢😢😢😂😂😂
@@LaurenReads I am curious why they have such early access, as it's not just this show but a few others, such as 'Last of Us'
Rip rheanys. She was a goddess and a bad ass and kept a level head. She shouldve been queen in her time. And sweet mealys, who rode with mama until the end♡♡😢
RIP Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen that never was! And today was her birthday too…
Both the Red Queen and the Queen That Never Was. :(
She would have made an excellent queen 😭😭😭😭
Eve Best was amazing as Rhaenys I’m gonna miss her
RIP to the Queen Who Should have Been. Rhaenys was always my favorite so I knew this would hurt but man seeing it was so heartbreaking. Also Aemond is truly psychotic..
Thank you!
Glad to see someone else refer to Our Queen properly!
❤❤❤
Rhaenyra was hypocrite and killed innocent men in dragon pit
They did Aemond cartoon villain now
@@queenxx1690 the fuck you mean now? Aemond in the book is way worse and basically was a cartoon villain.
It’s just insane and sad that Rhaneys was killed by her daughters dragon.
Yeah but I guess with dragons it's like once they get a new rider it's like a factory reset on them or something
Long live Rhaenys Targaryen, "The Queen That Never Was".
Also, let's give flowers to Eve Best for playing such a phenomenal character.
Aemond being an anime villain here lol. Just taking the dagger making himself heir leaving aegon to suffer the burns
Something that makes this even sadder (at least to me) is that according to the family tree I found Maelys was laid by Dreamfyre (Helaenas dragon) who was laid by Vhagar, so Maelys was quite LITERALLY fighting Granny Vhagar
Rhaenys died as she was: a fucking queen who fights till the end 🔥 she will be remember forever
It good to see Willem blackwood now as an adult
Right? My man caught his 1st body at like 12 or 13 lol
I was ready for some action but damn I didn't think this would happen in this episode. I actually cried. RIP Rhaenys and Meleys!!! And I felt really bad for Sunfyre too. Also Alicent is 100% right about Aegon. Getting rid of Otto was stupid and Alicent actually has experience ruling but they cut her out. Sucks to suck.
Yeah, Sunfyre was only doing what was asked of him, and now he is suffering horribly.
The poor baby was terrified as soon as he realized it was a battle. I swear I started crying because it reminded me of dogs reactions when they get attacked out of nowhere by other dogs. Poor thing was screaming and begging its rider to leave. Idk if they are going to just kill it by next episode, looked like it died 🥺🥺
@@lillianelightwood6464exactly 😢
I hoped we would get another action scene with Rhaenys before this one.
@@lillianelightwood6464 Hell nah Sunfyre survives, he will be one of the more important dragons of this war.
5:35 that was the dragon piece Viserys dropped in S1 that Alicent made repair and now it is Alicent who broke it...
I thought it was.
Hopefully the slow attention span people will stop complaining bout there being no big battles/dragon battles. R.I.P. to the Queen that should’ve been
Nah, the entire episode should have been the battle while everything that came before it could have had its own episode. There's no excuse to rush the large scale action set pieces when Game of Thronss did it fine. We waited two years for this and I think episodes like 2x9, 4x9, and 6x9 of GOT holds a high standard of what we could have gotten.
They’ll just find something else to complain about
lol calm down kunta kinte 😂😂 if they see ur mad they know they’re winning
@@SethpelepchukThere was even buildup and drama before the big battles in 2x9 and 6x09. If the battle was this whole episode, it would’ve dragged on for too long like The Long Night. You don’t drag out action scenes, you let them play out in the appropriate time they need it to.
@@johnjoseph6874Exactly 💯
Meleys looking back at Rhaenys, Rhaenys ordering Meleys to attack after Sunfyre fell, knowing she could’ve gone, and then when Meleys looked back and stared at Rhaenys as Vhagar crushed her throat between her jaws, it’s so tragic. I sobbed. I’ve read the book, I know what happens, it doesn’t lessen the blow.
It’s even worse that this season specifically they’ve given personalities to the dragons, their design vary a lot, it’s all to make it hurt worse, because they feel like our pets do, in their quirks and mannerisms. It’s heartbreaking. I cried during the reaction as well.
And my girl, Rhaenys, you will be missed.
When Meleys looked back at Rhaenys, I cried like a baby.
I too cried.
@@user-be7tc2bd6esame 😭😭😭😭
Meleys and Rhaenys with the shared accepting death look. RIP
Omg I can’t wait to see how sick Aegon looks with the burns 😈
His grace rises from the ashes like a phoenix
He's still gonna be a petulant child, just without a dragon this time.
@@ironladyerimuth he’s a tragic character though. Yeah he’s a dumbass and cruel but the point is that he is this way for a reason.
P.s please don’t call me a r*pist sympathizer for liking Aegon lol

Craziest episode yet 10/10
Hands down my favorite episode so far this season
Even though I knew what was gonna happen this episode, it still hit hard. RIP Rhaenys and Meleys.😢
Aye,I too share your grief and pain my friend,tis a sad and faithful woe we both share. All hail the queen who never was !!! May she rest in peace with the Old Gods.
I swear Aemond has the teleport skill equipped dude can just come out of now where with Vhagar and bam you’re dead.

RIP Rhaenys and Meleys. They both fought bravely
I’m gonna miss Eve Best she was incredible as Rhaenys
I knew we were losing Rhaenys this ep!! RIP to my fav character, the Queen Who Never Was!
-“Host” means an army or large number, like the “heavenly host”

Rhaenys needed to let out decades of anger 😂 that’s probs why she never fled. Her crown was taken, her kids gone, her grandkids aren’t really hers. Damn she probs was like “just take me” 😂
im cried so hard when rhaenys died. she will be missed 😭🩷
R. I. P. Rhaenys my heart is broken. 💔💔💔
Later, after Rhaenys survives Vhagar’s assault and has every opportunity to get away, she makes the decision to turn back and face Aemond. “That decision became the tentpole of the scene, shaping everything else around it,” Taylor says. “It goes way back to season 1, to her decision not to toast the Greens when she could have, and to the death of her grandson [Elliot Grihault’s Lucerys Velaryon] at the hands of this very beast. She has to go back in.”
from an Interview with the director
Rhaneys is actual Queen 😢
She loves Meleys more than anyone, But she knows that she is not Coward. she is the Real Queen.
RIP Rhaneys ❤
Aegon loves his dragon Sunfyre more than anyone. I think Rhaenys loved her children as much or more than she ever loved Meleys, and probably Corlys too; but she does love Meleys quite a bit; the dragon is part of her.
@@gailf1617 does aegon had that bond with sunfyre like rhaneys and Meleys, eventually aegon didn't know valyrian language well
I know Rhaneys love her children and husband but the bond she made with her dragon is unbelievable in the show and in books too. without commanding she controls Meleys also Meleys emotionally connected with Rhaneys.
Well I am fucking shook.
Dear god me too!
this is but the first of many
The Dance of Dragons has truly begun.
In all it's glory
And all it's horror..
I’ve read the books and this still was felt new to me. I love this shows universe😭😭😭
I don't understand how Vhagar keeps sneak attacking other dragons considering how big she is. Probably due to battle experience. Anyway ima go cry now
Writers kinda forgot about her size)
Experience dragon
We wanted action but I was not ready to feel so bad for the dragons, I know that they will die eventually, all of them, but seeing them suffer was very hard to watch for me, Sunfyre suffering at the end and you could feel the bond between Rhaenys and Meleys, I was crying so much😢 she was indeed the best character and the deserved to be queen.
Dragons are not horses. They were meant for fire and battle. It's why they have talons that can gut other dragons and Fire pit stomachs. It's instinctual for htem. No need to feel sorry for them.
@@oliviariv Ummm....I think that if I want to feel bad for them its kinda my business, just saying, I'm allowed to cry and feel bad for a CGI dragon if I want, even if they are meant for battle. You do you and I'll do me. To each their own
The most badass respect Rhaenys and RIP😢
First off I just wanna say RIP to Meleys the RED QUEEN !!! She's one of the most badass dragons in the dance, and it was glorious to see her in full display. Even we book readers knew what was coming in this battle(in terms of the victor) it was still a surprise to see how the battle played out, an what actually happened between those three dragons in that battle. IMO if your watching this show and you don't consider these past four episodes as peak TV, then you're watching the wrong show !! 💯
Seeing how well they made this fight I can't wait to see Aemond V Daemon / Vhagar V Caraxes
RIP Elmo Tully (Oscar’s Dad) hope his other son, Kermit can handle this grief too
Kermit and Oscar are combined in the show.
@@ayoa1173Why would the show runners do that ??
@@timothypolanco8622to keep the narm of being named after Muppets down.

Anyone realize the dragon fighting like eagles
Best episode yet, setting up for the real dance the second half of this season!
It was a 40% loss for the greens and 60% loss for the blacks this episode’s battle
@@kausalyaboobalan5929 he isnt dead
Feels like a 90% loss to the blacks. Injuring the King is of little consequence when he is neither a good fighter or ruler and his dragon was too little to fight yet.
Meanwhile the blacks lost their largest dragon, one of their best riders and war council members plus the castle, another council member and access to the mainland.
@jamesmccarthy962 the blacks win in the end. So we good 👍
I feel like a lot of people use vhagars sneak attacks as a way to discredit her and Aemond, when honestly I think it’s smart. She’s so big and loud, that really the only good way to get a final blow in is to hide and attack by surprise. Sure she has the size advantage in a fight, but we saw Meleys get a few good hits in, and vhagar is so large that it’s crazy easy to see her. The surprise attacks are smart
Yeah, Vhagar isn't built for long dogfights. She's old, cumbersome, and doesn't have the stamina. Striking suddenly and decisively is the wise strategy.
The way Vhagar attacks from below is literally identical to a great white shark. And then there’s the eagle/hawk/falcon-like clawing the dragons do to each other. I love the way their attacks are based on the hunting tactics of real animals.
Really glad with the direction they went with this fight! Rhaenys staying in the fight and not fleeing like a badass! Leaving would make the mission pointless. She would’ve killed Aegon if it weren’t for Aemond which is important with the storyline they are pushing between the brothers! Rhaenys took on both and WAS winning. Aemond had to sneak attack them cause they were getting gassed in the open. Meleys even made Vhagar fall to the ground which is HUGE! Rhaenys’s impact took a heavy toll for Cole, losing so many soldiers for the war. RIP to the queen who should’ve been and to Meleys! 10/10 episode
Yes great episode Rhaenys gave in my opinion Rhaenyra a chance to even the odds in terms of numbers of soldiers. Cole lost a lot and uselessly as Rook Rest’s not a stronghold, Rhaenyra’s key to mainland yes but I’m sure she would have found others. This also shows other houses who haven’t picked a side that Rhaenyra isn’t as weak and ready to fight, as she has been appearing compared to the greens who were gathering a larger army.
Eve Best said that Rhaenys went back because it was her duty like a samurai and she had a small chance to end the war. It was bravery (retreating could have been cowardice)…perhaps a means to make up for the Aegon coronation (according to show’s director).
My thoughts are like... she wasn't going for dragonfire, she was going for claw and jaw. I believe after defeating Sunfyre and seeing Vhagar, which I am sure she was dreading but expecting as a possibility, she again went for claw, I think she wanted to injure/maim the dragons as much as possible if the fight doesn't go her way, to support Rhaenyra. Also her coming back, not leaving after downing Sunfyre and deciding to try and injure Vhagar is very much relating to both her daughter and her Queen. Rhaenyra finally announced she is ready for war, did everything she could to avoid it, and listened to Rhaenys' guidance. Rhaenys previously hesitated and pursued peace too, this was her acknowledging Rhaenyra as a Queen worth dying for. She was finally fully in. And she also decided to die a true dragonrider's death, something her daughter could not do.
@@stitchedfreedom that’s a great catch re: Rhaenys’ use of jaws and claws
She knew she was going to her death
what a beast this Vhagar is!!It is single handedly winning the war for the greens...The historical beast from the period of Aegon's conquest..
They gave us three eps knowing we’d get restless wanting to see a battle then it comes and takes one of the best. Damn.
i dont understand why Rhaeneys didn't leave after killing aegon (for all she knows hes dead) and then her outright inability to find the biggest dragon in the world
I was NOT ready for this, but I kinda was, if that makes sense. Rhaenys was a REAL ONE, and fuc°ed Aegon up, so I'll take it!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meleys definitely could have defeated vhagar 1v1, Apparently he ambushed her Similar to what she did to luke and arrax
Then Aegon could have defeated Melys, apparently she ambushed him similar like Aemond did to Luke and Aegon was Drunk coz of his mother and her insults, in 2 occasions she ambushed him and couldnt defeat him and Sunfyre still was in the fight. Melys was being beaten by Vaghar until they fell and Melys could stand up but still. Sunfyre fought in this episode against two dragons and you are giving Melys the honors? The fucking Aemond Betrayed his king and Aegon Received the strongest of fires of one of the biggest dragon ever, evenway worse than Daenerys that just received stupid normal fire compared to the difference of dragon fire that can melt even rocks.
@@user-xj3gx5tc6v lol sunfyre is a young dragon lacks experience in combat how can u compare that to meleys when she went straight forward against vhagar and won the dance, you really expect sunfyre to win?
What I like about the series is because the books are supposed to be a retelling of the Targaryen history from a third-party historian who wasn’t there the small changes from the books kind of feels meta. Everyone who complains the rat catcher story was different. You can contribute it to the historian overdramatizing it. In the books Rhaenys fights 2v1 and was skilled enough to take Sunfyre out the fight….nope it was Aemond in reality and any historian telling it wouldnt assume Aemond would take out his brother the king. There are certain things I think that exist in the books makes for a more compelling story for audiences that have never read the books, but I also like the fact that the books were intended to not be the accurate history and more of the idea that the victor gets to tell history. There is a scene from Game of Thrones, where they make mention of a moment from this series where I am interested to see if they change it and imply that that history was mistaken. If you know the scene I’m referring 👍
I've never read the books but I really like that the book isn't accurate to what really happened (since written by a historian). And this makes so much sense! We often saw in GOT universe that the higher ups often spread false trues to the public and record it in history books. And I bet there will be a lot of things that are different from the book in the show and book readers will rant about it, even tho it's so stupid! I wonder how the end will differ from the books!
People think Aemond and Vhagar is bad ass, just wait till Daemon and Caraxes gets ahold of them
Yooooo that's what I'm saying. Once caraxes get that ass lol. Meleyes whooped on sunfyre and tbh she put up a fight against vhagar for that first go around.
do you realize that Meleys was way stronger dragon than Caraxes? Daemon killed himself to defeat Vhagar
@@gonzommz1739 The thing is Caraxes has no fear, he's pure fury. When an animal has no self-preservation instinct it's a lot more dangerous than its size suggests. He's also been in battle way more and a lot more recently than other dragons.
Bro how is daemon badass, he had to sacrifice himself to take down a teenager💀💀
@@gonzommz1739 Most people knows this and have read the books. Lmao. The point is they defeated a big duo. And my name is life is a novel for a reason. Any avid reader knows they change books made into movies or shows all the time. Similar to what we just saw. If you read it. You know the changes.
RIP Meleys and Rhaenys, the queen that never was (but should've been). I'll really miss her in the show,!
The best moment when Rhaenys realized that Meleys was dying, she was willing to die together
We all been waiting to see Sunfyre properly, and we see him in all his glory for, what, 10 mins??
Regardless, great episode (but sad!) 😢
They knew that if we had met Sunfyre earlier, we wouldn't want to see any harm happened to that sweet beautiful boy
So they cut the Muppet Tullys out XD
In the book, Grover Tully's heir was Elmo Tully who had sons Kermit and Oscar
Lol really? 😂
There was no kermit tho but yeah there's Oscar 😂
@@lkf8799yes, really
Oh btw the show runners have said Aegon's armor is Valyrian Steel.
It was also mentioned in dialogue in the episode last week or the week before, when he was trying it on.
I know some people are mad about Aemond going after his brother. But he wasn’t explicitly going for just him. Aegon and Rhaenys dragons’ were locked together and he saw he had a shot to kill Rhaenys; and if his brother who he hated happened to fall in battle during it Aemond wouldn’t mind. Even last season he told Aegon that he is the one that should be king because he knew how to lead. It gives Aemond more complexity considering he’s already a kinslayer
Hesrtbreaking tk know that Vhagar was her daughter's dragon, and that Meleys and Vhagar were Viserys's and Daemon's parents dragons.
Aegon and sunfire having plot armor
Alicent dropped and broke the figure that Viserys also broke and she fixed for him
The Moon tea works as PLAND D It's to avoid getting pregnant, it's not necessarily used to flush out an already leached out egg. Rhaenyra was given the same a night after she lost her maidenhood and they learn about her midnight stroll with her Uncle. The same one was given to Diana the servant that Aegon Weinsteened minutes after the incident.
Let's be real here Rhaenys and her dragon Meleys would decisively defeat Aemond and Vhagar, as well as Daemon and Caraxes, or to be fair almost any other current dragon rider, if the battle is fair. The sole reason for her demise was Aemond's surprise attack. Meleys is unmatched in speed, outpacing all other dragons. Aemond understood that even with Vhagar's immense strength, a fair fight would lead to his downfall.
A 'Host' is another name for an Army, so when they say for example Criston's host is on the march- it just means his army, they're complaining they don't have one to march themselves when talking to Rhaenyra's council
She went out like a real one. Nearly defeating both Aegon AND Aemond, she could have left at any time. What an amazing end for my favorite woman on the show.
The fact that Meleys stayed flying literally until her heart stopped was heartbreaking/incredible, their goodbye was done so well.
She wasnt close to defeating aemond. Even a fight with sunfyre she might have won but then again she wouldve suffered a lot of wounds. Vaghar is just overkill
'Twas but a prelude for the upcoming dance.
And another fine cameo by Milly Alcock. I knew she would keep talking as her head hit the ground.
Rhaenys going out like a true Targaryen Dragon Rider was badass and well deserved 🔥
Vhaegar is a She-dragon
I dont care that the dragons aren't real. Having to see animals fight each other and kill each other hurts my heart. Great episode but I hate seeing animals in pain like that.
Agreed Greg!
Rhaenys couldn’t go back again empty handed after last season. This was her chance to makeup for not taking out Aegon when she had the chance, even if she had a small chance to take out Vhagar, she was gonna go for it! 😢
the goodbye between Rhaenys and Meleys will always break my heart
Mine too 😭
if only rhaenys had tried with daemon☹
They could have taken Vaegar together.
