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

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.

@@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.
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
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
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.
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…
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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.
Honestly I don’t know how anyone realized he hadn’t just tried to kill his brother. Unless Cole was holding off on the interrogation and focusing on Aegon’s wellbeing.
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.

@@joel_kajok i love seeing him on screen. He’s very polarizing, but man he really burnt his own brother alive and was about to kill him in cold blood.

Like Aegon really thought he could trust his bro when it mattered and he disfigured him. Hes a POS.
Aegon looks so terrified and unprepared up there... Rhaenys looks like a competent warrior. poor little sunfyre though cole realizing aemond might just be a monster...
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 😔.
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
Fr??? You actually believe that this kind of childish bullying (Ig you just don’t have older siblings lol) is worth of fckng burning your brother alive? Get some help pls…you’re dangerous for the society.

@@zachrobinson6801One is crippled and the other will eventually die later from wounds. They're already half gone from this point on.
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 🐱
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Vhagar and Aemond are a perfect villainous duo. Vhagar is just Vhagar and Aemond is Daemon with teen angst lol
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.
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.
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
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…
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!?!"
Who cares about Aegon, poor little Sunfyre baby, this was hard to watch. Same for Meleys
When Aemond told Vhagar to wait , Vhagar was like “c’mon bruhhhhh” 🤣🤣🤣
I find it so cute. 🤣🥰😍☺️
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.
I have always been against animal cruelty..! This battle broke my heart..😞
they aren't real animals, they're make up
Everyone: “Show us some dragons fighting! 😤😤”
*when dragons actually fight* 😢😢😭💔💔
"KILLS KING AEGON" 💀💀💀 Aegon and Sunfyre ain't dead
Aemond is a true kinslayer, killed his half nephew, cousin and even tried killing his brother. He must be stopped😢😢
She probably realized Aemond was as bad on the throne as aegon
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.
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 stole this episode, can’t wait to see what else he does this season!
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
That attacking under strategy by rhaenys and meleys is fvcking fabulous ❤️
Aegon: “I’m as fearsome as any of them”
Gets wrecked immediately
He’s brave or foolish. But he’s certainly proved that he isn’t worthless. Which is what he wanted to do.
@@donnyannessa654 I wouldn’t say worthless… but what did he accomplish in this battle? Other than getting his own dragon killed?
@@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.
@@donnyannessa654 I heard Sunfyre isn’t actually dead
@@KawaiiKaijuOf course, he's not dead. Did you read the book? Did you watch Game of Thrones at least?
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
I feel bad for Sunfyre and Meleys :(
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.
Honestly I don’t know how anyone realized he hadn’t just tried to kill his brother. Unless Cole was holding off on the interrogation and focusing on Aegon’s wellbeing.
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 .
Its hard watching the dragons fighting eachother and dying
I know. I feel bad watching them get hurt : (
Rhaenyra (Milly) still sounds the best so far in saying "Dracarys" imo. Aemond's sounded weird sorry. 😅
The younger dragons getting hurt and killed always makes me so sad. They’re literally babies
Christon Cole and Aemond: *Make a plan of attack
Aegon: Leeerroooyyy Jeeennkkiiiiiiins
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.
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.
Aegon threw poor sunfyre into a battle against an experienced warrior.
Poor dragon 😔 at least still alive
Except that King Aegon didn't die...
I have to give it to aemond for the snake like personality. Hahaha. I like the camouflage of vhagar.
If you read Fire and Blood, Aegon is still alive, but he’s severely injured.
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 :)
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
No dragons were harmed during the filming of this episode.
Viserys was right the Targaryens should have never trifled with such power
I’ll never forgive Aemond for this, I hate him.
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”
Aegon and Sunfyre are not dead, what kind of stupid video title is this
Sunfyre is the dragon that eats Rhaenyra
Ok butthurt
Nah he's not dead, but this will leave him badly injured.
Except that Aegon is not dead so Aemond did not kill him and the title is inaccurate
Don't bring Sunfyre to a Meleys fight
I wonder if Aemond was going to kill Aegon if Sir Cole didn't come.
Aegon was not killed , he ruled after his dragon ate Rheynaria in front of her son .
💥🔥💥🔥
Doesn't Joffrey say that to Margery?
Rheanys resting in rooks rest is best thing that happened this season no hard feelings for her just for the toxic black fans
I hate seeing the dragons suffer for their stupid war. It was painful to hear sunfyre's cries. 😢
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.
I’ve honestly developed a really strong distaste for the Aemond character. Not that he’s badly written, but I dont like the guy.
this was the only time I did like him.
He's the best f***ing character in the show. To the point where I'm like Team Black, but root for Aemond.
@@joel_kajok i love seeing him on screen. He’s very polarizing, but man he really burnt his own brother alive and was about to kill him in cold blood. I get he is angry with him but he does things in excess and is kind of just pure blatant evil with no more grey. Like Aegon really thought he could trust his bro when it mattered and he disfigured him. Hes a POS.
How small sunfyre is
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
I don't like seeing dragons battles. It's like watching puppies getting hurt and dying.
The caption didn’t age well…
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.
Aegon looks so terrified and unprepared up there...
Rhaenys looks like a competent warrior.
poor little sunfyre though
cole realizing aemond might just be a monster...
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 😔.
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
For the rest of the show, Aegon will be mostly in bed.
Not in bed, ryan. Abed. ABED!!!😉

Great episode!
That was for laughing at him when he was having his mother-son roleplay with Sylvi.
Definitely was I felt so bad for him when eegon did that was a low blow
Fr??? You actually believe that this kind of childish bullying (Ig you just don’t have older siblings lol) is worth of fckng burning your brother alive? Get some help pls…you’re dangerous for the society.
Aegon: Thank the gods! It’s Aemond!
Sees Vhagar opening her mouth to blast him and Rhaenys.
Aegon: Gods help me! It’s Aemond!
Rhaenys speaking Valyrian is beautiful, she is such a warrior!
People witnessing Meleys go to town on the smaller Sunfyre, witnessing Vhagar go to work on the smaller Meleys and yet they act like Meleys had a chance to beat Vhagar?
Can't stand how they are turning Aemond into this unrealistic unbeatable super villain who never fails. Reminds me of Ramsay Bolton.
Aegon and Sunfyre are not dead
Alicent's fault, that 🐩
The sun falls before its time.
An excellent example of battle tactics
Well not laughing anymore are you ageon?😂Aemond must have thought when ageon was laughing at him. He was just planning his revenge
I didnt read the book but i expected that aemond would kill aegon. But i didnt think that he would be so badass to do it in Front of everyone else
They could never make me hate you Aemond.
1:21 dont' know but for me, Aegon's "Dracarys" can never be not funny 😂😂
