- Out of all the main characters in House Of The Dragon, the hardest one to adapt to screen might be Aegon Targaryen namely due to the way his story is structured after the fall of kings landing which we should be seeing in house of the dragon season 3. This is down to the fact he disapears from the account of events to suddenly reappear on Dragonstone at Rhaenyra's death with no context as to how he got there, we then learn with a flashback what he has been doing for the weeks he was missing and how he came to be on Dragonstone. The issue is this is going to be very hard to adapt to screen and the showrunners are going to have to make some hard choice in the direction they handle the story.

00:04:25 How Aegon's story might work
The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood.

I think if they go for a creepy vibe it could work really well, because everyone in Kings Landing knows he’s badly burned, can barley walk and that his dragon is miles away.
They could make it work through Rhaenyra too, make her incredibly paranoid the entire time Aegon is missing, thinking he’s still in the castle (kind of like Cersei with Tyrion in the books after he disappears) so even if they don’t show him or where he is, his presence remains felt throughout the entire time he’s off screen.
Also, make a point to show that Larys genuinely has no clue where Aegon is…this change would only add to the paranoia and work wonders for the plot line in Kings Landing.

AEGON THE KING!!
Too bad the writers only consulted Mushroom when they were writing Aegon's character in Season 1

They deleted the fact that rheanery ordered the assassination Veamon , and her Leanor , while when it comes to Aegon they didn't show his tour with sunfyre after the coronation , only showed him drunk & fighting pits , so the bias is clear

They can create a new plot where they give aegon a journey between gaining allies in secret wandering through the crownlands and deciding to move to some other place to seek refuge only for it to be later revealed that he went to dragonstone when the time comes
Bran was gone for an entire season.
I don't see a problem with Aegon going missing especially if Aemond's role is expanded and Daeron is introduced.
Besides Joffrey already spoiled Rhaenrya's death. ..
Goated comment ... like yeah aegon just hangs out on the DL on dragonstone doesnt seem like nuclear science to me
Agreed 100%
Facts
@@powderedwiglouis1238he does have some dragon battles and espionage tho
@@mansoorahmed1676 after rooks rest and kings landing falling he goes to dragonstone and aemond takes over the rest of the war
I think because HOTD will not be nearly as long as GOT they can afford to do the whole mystery subplot of where Aegon goes missing. They didn't with Theon because his show was longer and they used his moments to flesh out Ramsay whom they decided to make into a bigger character than his book counter part and as the show's main antagonist that was in-between Joffrey and eventually Cersei/Night King.
The Dance of the Dragons is short enough to where the audience will be fine without seeing what is happening with Aegon and the Green's narrative could focus on Aemond and the others on his side. It helps set up the twist for show only viewers where they could assume that Aegon simply died but aren't certain and it makes a big impact when Rhaenyra bumps into him on Dragonstone
season 2 will be aegon/rhaenys falling (rooke's rest)
season 3 will be daemon/aemond falling (battle over the god's eye)
season 4 will be aegon/rhaeneyra falling (losing kings landing & both of them dying in the end)
for that to work tho rhaenyra will have to die early on in season 4 so idk
@@flaviusaetius5701 after rhaenyra is killed aegon sits the iron throne for what 6 months ? Just have her die in the penultimate episode then do a time jump to him getting poisoned and aegon III being crowned
@@flaviusaetius5701 That is not how the show is going to pan out. Rook's Rest is S2 ep4. S2 will end just before The Battle of the Gullet.
S3 will probably end with Rhaenyra losing KL.
S4 will probably end with the marriage of Aegon III & Jaehaera.
This will obviously not be the case if the Dance is expanded to 5 seasons.
They'd have to put too much off screen. What they could do is have a penultimate episode end with Rhaenyra being suprised and killed with the subsequent being Aegon II's story.
What they are probably going to do is just follow Aegon II's story and I don't think it will necessarily be that bad. This plotline will be a great opportunity to give him an arc and what the show needs most to succeed is the villain side having some of those, and I don't mean always towards more evil.
I remember when reading the boom for three first time I was absolutely shocked when Aegeon turned up in dragon stone. I was convinced Larys had hidden him somewhere in kings landing
Nah Kings Landing became Hell it would be smart to get him out of there with his family. Its a shame and a tragedy what happened to maelor
Me too I went back and read the part about the Two Tom's and their "cousins" looking for Grey Ghost's killer and I'm mad I didn't catch it. Such a good twist
1st to take the Black for House Blackfyre🗡 hope Aegon gets humanized.
I still think that they went across the narrow sea 🌊
The plot twist needs to be handled correctly if it is it could be as big as the red wedding
I'd be surprised if it wasn't revealed that Aegon got help from dissatisfied members of house Velaryon, there's evidently dissenters in season 1 and it's unlikely they are the only ones.
I wouldn't say everyone had a clear idea where or by whom Theon was being held (the character himself thought it was his father and he was in the Iron islands). It was only made explicit after the red wedding that he was being held at the dreadfort by the boltons. Maybe you could do the same with Aegon, show him but keep the audience in the dark about where he actually is. However there's also the whole situation with Baela, I wouldn't want that cut out..
Honestly I think there are only 2 possible ways they could tell his story:
1.) Rhyneara flees kings landing and hops on the ship back to dragon stone where she meet aegon and as she’s burning the camera looks into his eyes and does his whole backstory or
2.) Rhyneara flees kings landing at the toward the middle of the season, then the episode after that we go through aegons story and how he took dragon stone, then an episode of him retaking kings landing and burning the Sheppard, then the hour of the wolf as the last episode and aegon the third marrying Jeheara as the final scene.
I think they can go down the shock book way if they want. Then when Aegon kills rhaenyra. The next episode do like flash back scenes on how he slowly took over dragonstone. While I think both ways can work if done right.Yes you are right some people will hate it which is clearly understandable.
I always felt bad for Sunfyre, but Lady Baela is such a great character…
Thank you for all of the incredible work you do! I love your videos and they help me cope with the wait for new shows and books. I love your art and narrations! ❤
I remember i started this channel as a way to cope for the wait for season 8 of game of thrones so i'm glad it's of use
I would go with hiding Aegon but show Sunfyre's journey in episode 5-8. End it with a group of hooded, mysterious people watching him. Then season finale Rhaenyra arrives at Dragonstone.
It’s not super likely, but I am hoping they keep Aegons story vague before dragonstone
I think it makes more sense to show him. Argon being lost was frustrating to me in the books because he would randomly be mentioned, and I wasn’t expecting anything from him, but if he was there, in bits and pieces, a chapter here, a paragraph there, as more than just a ghost living (maybe) somewhere in… what was it… the vale… I wouldve kept my interest and my expectations of him higher, rather than just suspecting he was dead and his body hadn’t yet been found
Maybe they will show Aegon alive and hurt but not where’s he’s located so when rhaenyra shows up it will still be a surprise!
HBO does time skip episodes so I doubt Aegon will be gone for more than 2 episodes there will just have been a long time in world between those episodes. Also HBO seems to favor Rhaenyra so the events may play out different and she may just outright win the war against the greens.
For the Lord commander!
& the watch..🗡️🗡️

I am wondering how they will handle this in the show as opposed to how the book tells it.
Despite his rank, Aegon is a supporting character in this series. Keeping him offscreeen or with limited screen time is no biggie. Aemond is the far more important brother.
As for Rhaenyra being loved - well, she's going to be involved with some horrible stuff between now and her flight to Dragonstone.
Maybe in season 1 but in season 2 Aegon will become one of the main characters for sure, more important than Aemond. He is the main rival of Rhaenyra and did more useful things for the greens while Aemond stay most of the war with his witch or ruining the greens army with his stupid decisions.
@@rahimg6842Agreed, Aemond was pretty desapointing in the war. He could have stayed with Cole but his pride caused their downfall.
Aegon is a supporting character in the first season, true, but he's a major Chara and the books and I feel like because of that, his role will grow bigger and bigger.
How come he's a secokd character when he has a whole trailer about him ? And he's main part of the civil war ?
@@angryyoungman66 exactly.
I think we slowly see Rheanyra go into the mad queen just like in the books. Sure we will get a red wedding like surprise that will have people saying “wait what? WHAT!? “ it will be indeed talked about but again they spoiled her death in Game of Thrones when Joffrey tells Margaery of Rheanyra’s fate. I remember an online petition was being held that HBO should remove the scene all together which is impossible. I’m more curious of how we are going to see her killed. Are they just going to roast her and we watch Sunfyre gulp down in individual bites of her or is it going to be a shadow on the wall kind of thing?
Im genuinely curious on how they will approach Aegon ii solo arc.
He does live up to his namesake and becomes a badass throughout the war winning dragon battle after dragon.
Sunfyre, the most beautiful dragon had become as broken and beaten down to aegon but still loyal.
He prob must’ve gone through alot if he knew the fate of his children.
I hope they handle it well- he became won of the most interesting targeryan kings to sit on the iron throne.
In the show, Joffrey said Aegon killed Rhaenyra in the Red Keep
He never specified where she killed, just how
The show needs to avoid, at all costs, a Dead Dany Moment, where the fans thought they had a girl boss feminist yay queen apex, and instead got a flattened set of characters moving to a limp excuse for an assassination. So I could see them going in the dread and foreshadow direction rather than the surprise direction for Rhaenyra. They also could mess with the timing somewhat so that we see Aegon ramp up to take Dragonstone, and Baela ramp up to defend it, and then we end on a cliff hanger. We reopen next episode and cut back to kings landing. Then when Rhaenyra gets to dragon stone we have a slow build up of dread as the audience sees clues Aegon holds the castle and Rhaenyra keeps missing the clues as she walks with baby Aegon to her death.
This is actually a very good point, going the dread route would prevent the sudden shock of dead danny. House Of The Dragon could give Rhaenrya's death the build up that Danny's needed to actually work.
I’d say the best thing for them to do for the show plot is to follow both Rhaenyra and Aegon, if they have a scene like Aegon supposedly going to do a task near dragonstone one episode and having the next episode be Rhaenyra arriving on dragonstone and getting eaten as the end of the episode or maybe her in prison. A third episode would follow aegon and how he arrived to dragonstone by either finishing his task or subverting his course and if Rhaenyra is in prison it could end with her death🤷♂️
I mean...
what's his tax policy?
I guess they won’t be surprised if they watch this video 🤷♀️
Just cut off his story before he reaches dragonstone so you don’t know he’s there. Have a episode or two and that can be his “disappearance” arc
I think they made a mistake by trying to make rhaenyra a more likeable character to the point where many fans became gaslighted into accepting anything she did which is why i have a feeling they will definitely change the plot of rhaenyra's death
First
Ok but why does everyone call him "King" Aegon II and call Rhaenyra just "Rhaenyra?" Not Queen? UGHHHH lol
Because aegon was crowned by septon of faith(head of church like in England).so he become official monarch of house targaryen and king and rhaenyra was not never crowned by septon so she is not considered queen.
Because Rhaenyra is not considered a ruling Queen in the GOT universe
Canon wise Aegon is the only one reconsider as King with Rhaenyra regarded as Princess. The practical reason in this video is i made the images for two separate videos ages ago, one video i put the titles the other i didn't. However despite Rhaenyra being considered a Princess in canon i do consider her a Queen. If the likes of Balon Greyjoy, Renly Baratheon are considered kings why not Rhaenyra
@@WorldOfWesteros love your channel! ❤️
Bcz he's the true King & rightfull heir 😂😂💚💚💚
I think that rhaenyra unknowingly walking into her fate while the audience just sits there screaming like the breaking bad meme of Walter screaming at Hank from inside the van could make for some insanely good television if executed well.
