G. R. R. Martin's books allow lots of spin off series and maybe movies to take place. What a huge world rich with a very long history full of interesting events.
@@theawesomeman9821 It has been confirmed there was never a Robert's Rebellion prequel anywhere close to being greenlit. As for the Blackfyre Rebellion, I'd like to believe that we might see it eventually, either in Season 5 of House of the Dragon or as a separate series.
Disagree, I believe that story holds more weight when it’s maintained as a great mystery, I would prefer to just get snippets of info and let my mind wander on the rest!
@@BhaskarReddy-hb2bv are you watching the same show as us? No at all how it happened. He was literally dying and though he was talking to Rhaenyra still which is why he said Aegon, Aegons dream, chosen prince. Keep up bro
We need a live action show about the actual Conquer of Westeros by Aegon Targaryen I w Balerion the Black Dread! That would be AMAZING Part of me hoped that’s what HOTD would’ve been, but I really am enjoying the story right now, even tho I know what time period and how it’ll end
If we get Aegon's Conquest as a series, I think Visenya would be my favorite female character ever. She's a badass and the first Targaryen to wield Dark Sister that Daemon will get.
I think the rule of spin offs should simply be: Trust source material. If there are stories written by Martin then adapt those faithfully. So Dunk and Egg adventures should be next.
Agree 100%- saying 'the show is the show, & the books are the books' feels a bit like a copout- a blanket excuse to deviate however they want, rather than where necesary (the ages of the youngest characters), or where it serves the story (behind the scenes details & politicking, which I can get behind- up to a point) You kind of can't do Dunk & Egg imo, _without_ combining it with the Blackfyre Rebellions era- which is something with a long time between all the seeds being planted (back in the reigns of Daeron I, Baelor I, Viserys II, Aegon IV *&* Daeron II), & when the first war kicks off - you contrast the intimate, small scope of their travels- with the wider scope of what's going on in Westeros & at the Court (from the perspectives of figures like Bloodraven, Shiera, Daeron, Daenaerys, Daemon & Aegor). They'd have to be much more careful with their time-jumps, & all the history they could potentially blow through- than they have been, at present - I think they should have extended s1 to 12 eps, rather than 10, & given the events & characters more time to breathe, but maybe that's just me...
Robert wasn't that fat when he killed Rhaegar. And Robert is part Targaryen. Both come from Daemon and Rhaenyra's lineage. Shireen talked about her ancestors without knowing.
it's his fault to triggering Robert (take his promise wife in front of him) and not keep his father the mad king in check, his father killing the starks is a final straw.
After this "Fire and Blood" adaptation I really hope they keep on telling the story of the Targaryens as far a the Mad King and Robert's Rebellion. I really imagine it almost like a historical chronicle show...but with Targaryens lol
Thanks so much, I never read the books but loving HOTD, even though I would like to see even more actual dragons. Dany remains my favorite- despite turning her into ‘The Mad Queen’ but I also love Daemon
we need a series on "Aegon the Conquerer" he started all this the prince who was promised thingy so we deserve one related to that and also on Rhaegar Targaryen.
*HEAVY* *BOOK* *SPOILERS* The happiest times for Daemon are the years between the time jumps. They're off-screen. His 10 years with Laena and their twin daughters in Essos. He was at peace. His first 6 years with Rhaenyra in Dragonstone. Did you see how happy he looked about those dragon eggs? Never seen Daemon smile so big and look that excited. Fatherhood changed him. But this is a drama. No episode can be written if no conflict or fighting. Rhaenyra will lose that third child with Daemon in her belly but Syrax laid three eggs. Perfect number for Daemon's kids so that's one for Rhaena, Aegon III, and Viserys II although the latter doesn't get a dragon. Rhaena will have Morning and Aegon III will have Stormcloud. Viserys II's bloodline will produce Daenerys and Jon Snow/Aegon. I'm actually not even looking forward to Daemon vs. Aemond. I think most people already know who wins and GRRM is going to be pro-Daemon since that's his favorite Targaryen. If Aemond still had two eyes and fought on the ground, I'd still have my money on Daemon. The one I'm looking forward to more is does Daemon live or not? Did he get swallowed by Caraxes or Vhagar by accident? Body was never found. I don't mind if they keep it a mystery forever. Let our imaginations run wild with it. But I wouldn't be too shocked if we do see a final scene of him in Pentos. Of course people will ask, why leave Aegon III and Viserys II there in Westeros? Question his fatherhood again. Perhaps Daemon will live in Pentos and tell Baela and Rhaena to help raise his sons there? They do act like loving older sisters to Aegon III. Daemon seems to hate Westeros from all the political scheming as he told Laena in Ep 6 and never wanted the throne from Viserys or Rhaenyra. He's only back there to help Rhaenyra as he's all about protecting people he loves. All he wanted in Ep 1-4 was to protect his brother. But he got pushed away. That's why I believe if he does survive, he will return to Pentos and tell his daughters to help raise his youngest sons in Westeros. Now this makes Daemon not give a damn about any of his children as he's about protecting people he loves, right? But where's the war by that point? Most of them are dead. He can also be losing an arm or something. Only way they can make him live on is if he's living outside of Westeros the way Laenor got written. Wouldn't disrupt the book's canon. Daemon would need to hide really well next to Nettles if he lives in Westeros. Obi-Wan only stayed hidden for 10 years until Vader found him. Daemon is supposed to die before Rhaenyra. But people estimate Rhaenyra will die by the end of S3. If we have 4 seasons, the final season and series finale may NOT have Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy. I don't know how that final season and series finale gets carried when two of the most popular characters are eliminated? HBO isn't going 100% by the book. It's obvious they will alter some things. But I don't see them altering Rhaenyra's death. The Dance of the Dragons lasts from 129-131 AC. Daemon and Rhaenyra die in 130. There are still more events that follows their deaths.... - The Moon of the Three Kings - Battle of the Kingsroad - Aegon II's Death - The False Dawn - Hour of the Wolf (this involves Cregan Stark) - The Regency of Aegon III That final season will be interesting. All the major characters are gone. Otto got beheaded. Criston gets killed by archers. Alicent is imprisoned and eventually dies in it. Aemond is killed by Daemon as his skeleton was found with Dark Sister through his last good eye years later. Daemon is assumed dead. Rhaenyra gets eaten by Sunfyre. Larys will eventually die. We might lose Daemon and Rhaenyra as early as the end of S3 or no later than mid-S4. Rhaenyra will NOT be in the series finale and who knows what happened to Daemon if he got to live the rest of his life with Nettles in Essos? If he does survive, why did he leave Dark Sister in Aemond's eye socket? Get it back. Baela, Rhaena, Aegon III, and Viserys II or Daemon's children are the only ones introduced in S1 who survives this war. How Daenerys and Jon Snow are related to Daemon and Rhaenyra?? Rhaenrya and Daemon Targaryen are the parents of -> *Viserys II* Targaryen, father of -> *Aegon* *IV* Targaryen, aka Aegon the Unworthy, father of -> *Daeron* *II* Targaryen, aka Daeron the Good, father of -> *Maekar* *I* Targaryen, father of -> *Aegon* *V* Targaryen, aka Aegon the Unlikely, father of -> *Jaehaerys* *II* Targaryen, father of -> *Aerys* *II* Targaryen, aka the Mad King, father of -> Daenerys Targaryen AND *Rhaegar* Targaryen, father of --> Jon Snow The Prince That Was Promised did come from Rhaenyra's line. *AEGON* *II* *SUCKS!* I wasn't disappointed at Aemond but Aegon II? What a joke! And he's the one who gets to live longer than all the major characters with a disfigured face! 🤦🏻♂️ So you're telling us Alicent believes her rapist son who she wants to disown is the one who will unite the Seven Kingdoms? 🤣 🖤 *RODDY* *THE* *RUIN* 🖤 Watch out for him. I think he might be a bigger BADASS than Daemon and Aemond. He's going to be a fan favorite. Moreso than *Cregan* *Stark.* Roderick Dustin is one of those grizzled, old savage warriors. He does die during the Dance but how he dies is badass the way Barristan Selmy did against a bunch of Sons of Harpy.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. GRRM needs to write a book, doesn’t have to be House Targaryen as the main family, but storyline that follows a powerful dragonlord family that may have been close to the Targaryens and shows the Doom of Valyria, first-hand. That would be epic! 🤔
Whoever is reading this, i pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
It actually works in my opinion. It never said that the Targaryen would kill the knight king it stated they would reunite the kingdom. And it was two Targaryens that united the kingdom. A prince and princess that was promised. Without John snow then aria would have never fought that hard. And it took Dany to unite the rest to help to fight. So In my opinion they are making it work
I’m just gonna demand: I demand a show focusing on visenya. Aegon would’ve been slain in his own streets, castle and as a guest under the roofs of other lords had visneya not intervened on multiple occasions. Dany, rhaenyra, even daemon and aemond, none of them would’ve even been without visenya
Jon’s name was Aegon. The confusion caused from viserys words on deathbed to alicent kinda confirmed that the prince who was promised would be named aegon even though he meant to say that to his daughter
I woupdnt mind GRRM overseeing an anthology series on different Targaryens/Valyrians. Would be a decent opportunity for him to flesh out underutilized characters or create new ones we havent seen when covering the pre-Doom era.
Danny is my favourite, she does it all alone, like not all alone I mean she has none of her family's support and she makes her dreams come true, well almost, dam you Jon snew
Been watching HOtD and loving GoT for what it is. If HBO decides to run with another series aegon’s conquest would be the best pick but I think there’s another story to be told, the war between the first men and the children of the forest always fascinated me but not much was ever explained, that would be one id 100% invest in
"A future Targaryen, who would defeat the impending threat." D&D: "What was that? Arya Stark?" Seriously though, how sad that the prophecy was nothing but BS on the main TV show. Unless the upcoming Jon Snow spin-off will retcon stuff yet again...
If im going to rewrite the GOT season 8 I will seperate the 7 kingdoms again become independent. Because the point of the dream of aegon targayen is to unite the 7 kingdom to deal the threat of white walkers. Bran should only the peace keeper of the realm.
I always wondered since it took 12 years after dany had the dream and she got her father to move with the rest of her family what was going on 11 years before the doom. I'm sure there had to be some members of the family that thought dany and her dreams are full of s…..
Why? It would be boring. Aegon just ran through everyone except Dorne who just hid. The Dance Of Dragons is probably the craziest time in Westeros history besides GOTs
Is Daemon really a morally grey character or is it just a term GRRM enjoys using? I'd read Reddit comments saying Daemon is as grey as a black hole. Still can't get over Blood and Cheese. *SPOILERS* From my POV, I believe most of the time he is. Blood and Cheese was cold-hearted but I find it redeemable. Yes, it's war. Aemond struck first. Daemon only ordered it. Aemond did that crime without remorse. Daemon has higher morals but lower ethics. Aemond showed neither to Luke. Here's the thing, if Viserys had just listened to Daemon since Ep 1 or 4, none of this Alicent crap or bastards rumors would happen. Even Matt said it. It's like Daemon needs to shake his older brother and tell him, "I love you, bro. I'm trying to protect you! Wake up, man!” But Viserys refused to listen. Blood and Cheese is no worse to me than what Tywin and Walder did to the Starks. That was much worse including stabbing into a pregnant woman. Was it wrong? Sure. But I find it retaliation. It's just unfortunate Helaena fell victim to it. I think if Daemon never ordered Blood and Cheese, people will still whine how nearly perfect he is. How he's this badass Gary Stu. People are just haters. Whoever is popular, they want to bring them down to look smarter than everyone else. Just enjoy the characters whether they're flawed or not. If they want to nitpick everyone, that's on them. But I could care less of watching saints interact. HOT D is no monastery. I want to see unpredictable characters do bad things to each other. Didn't Anakin Skywalker redeem himself 23 years later after he *massacred* children? He obviously had to deal with that penance after getting burned and decapitated. It's interesting how people can hate someone popular when every single person who were non-fictional were flawed. Name all the mistakes Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and JFK all had as POTUS. When Queen Elizabeth died, people on Twitter cheered. Almost anyone or anybody flawed can be hated. You can be Jesus Christ and people won't believe in him. A great character to me isn't just who is the biggest badass? If this was the case, then Khal Drogo would be my #1. But he isn't because he wasn't all that developed with a ton of range. Everyone will try to find qualities that will make them like that character. My brother likes Steve Rogers because he looks for the character with the highest moral compass. I'm a Tony Stark guy because while I think he can be a douchebag, I find him way more charismatic and likeable than Steve. He's still heroic and does care for others even if he doesn't always show it. We all look for different things in characters we like. My preference is charisma mixed with being a BADASS. An alpha who is fearless. Someone funny and charming too. That's Jaime and Daemon. Some will prefer more of the Jon and Robb. More serious. What's so wrong liking flawed characters like Jaime or Daemon who committed crimes? Daenerys committed crimes. Aemond will. We're not looking to love only the innocent "saints" in their cruel world. I prefer Han Solo over Luke Skywalker. I prefer Darth Vader over both of them and Yoda. I prefer Batman over Superman. I prefer Loki over Captain America. I prefer Cersei over Daenerys. Bite me if I prefer the ones with the more flawed personalities and the darker heroes/antiheroes/villains.
Like this won't spoil me on "A Song of Ice and Fire " .Since I just got the book few weeks ago ,And was never real into fantasy in til I the "Lord of the Rings " movies on the big screen ,And then "Game of Thrones " came along down the pipe .I mean "Star Wars " was the only fantasy I was in ,Even as kid when it was new and different at the time .And I do like this new show called "House of Dragon" .
There is no point in comparing this daemon along with dany with the Conciliator. Man, the reign Jaehaerys was so prosperous the population of all the kingdom nearly doubled and kings landing grown 4 times
Knowing how GOT ends, the fact that HOTD keeps bringing up the prophesy of a Targaryen prince or princess defeating the White Walkers HAS to mean that the prophesy itself isn’t true, rather a paranoid Targaryen putting his own house and blood at the center of history, assuming that his bloodline will be the savior of the realm. All this proves how paranoid Aegon was and made others, and just how wrong he was since we know we kills the Night King in the end
I see my problem with this is calling him to cruel because he fought against the church who was killing dragons and family members as well as all their Authority if anything he should be called priest hater or savior of the royal house
Best Targaryen is Maester Aemon. His decision to refuse the throne allowed for history to proceed as prophesied, notwithstanding D&D's awful interpretation for the show.
The prince that was promised was obviously Jon Snow, I don’t understand why feminists and other woke factions don’t seem to want to accept it. “ from my blood comes the prince that was promised” so it’s obviously not Arya. It could have been Daenerys but she was assassinated by Jon so it’s unlikely she was the princess that was promised and some say she was the threat to end the world and not necessarily the night king so that leaves Jon, who united the north and the free folk against the white walkers and got Daenerys on his side along with her dragons and army so he was certainly the one that lead the fight against the dead.
Aegon prophercy sounds so great. If only D&D didn't blow it, by creating White Walkers minor subplot which end by girl, which is not prince that was promised, ending up winter by one stab.
I feel the statement on targeryen madness is so exaggerated ,like at most 5 targeryens went mad and all their cases could be argued especially Maegor.He is written in the history books as senile and vicious yet all hi actions had reason.if the targeryens want to consolidate thir power they should cut down any challenge to them that's simply what Maegor did.
Maegor died relatively young. And most of the targaryen kings were inadequate or worse. The best of the best were Jaehaerys I, followed by the conqueror aka aegon I, later Daeron I and finally aegon V
@@sanhcman666 that doesn't mean they were mad ,and one bad king is better than 7 kingdoms constantly fighting among themselves to the woe of the small folk
@@samtinashemaraya2322 Yeah right. Viserys I, the one that died recently on HOTD, is the cause of what is to come. And Aegon IV, well, he earned the title The unworthy.
The Targaryen's aren't the only Dragon Lord's to survive the Doom some other Dragon Lord whose name I can't remember was also away from Valeryia at the time of it's destruction, he put together a army to find out what happened flew there on his dragon and was never heard from again
This fictional saga of the Targaryen’s and their constant infighting, inbreeding and rise to power through “accident of birth” is as good a reason as any in our real world that democratically elected leaders in a republic is always the best option for a nation.
*Team* *Green* *Fans* *(Spoilers)* Team Green fans are so happy Daeron the Daring exists and think more viewers will sympathize with the Greens. How? 🤣 They have Aegon II, an alcoholic rapist. He's going to unite the Seven Kingdoms? They have Otto and Larys, a manipulative homewrecker and a psychopath. They have Criston the incel. They have Aemond who hasn't killed Luke in cold-blood yet. This is worse than Daemon's Blood and Cheese because Daemon only ordered it. Aemond killed Luke cold-blooded. This is Aemond with all the time to think about it but committed the crime anyway. I do feel Daemon should've killed Aemond over Helaena's eldest. There's no path for me to believe that more people will sympathize with the Greens after Blood kills Jaehaerys. The Greens drew first blood. They destroy more kingdoms. Green supporters are delusional to believe we'll care about them after Helaena commits suicide and Daeron gets killed. Aemond stan: Daemon is reckless and obnoxious. Aemond is quiet, cold, and calculated. Um, Daemon barely says anything. 🤣 Maybe when he was 31 and no kids yet. Aemond got triggered from a giggle and he's calculated at age 15? I don't think Daemon fears Aemond at all. If Daemon did, Aemond's head would already be sliced off at that dinner table. But Aemond stans are coming up with the most delusional reasoning for their inferior character. Do you really think someone like GRRM is going to make Daemon lose to someone like Aemond knowing he's a fan of so many of these characters he writes including Daemon who he loves? GRRM is biased. Look at all his favorites from his stories he writes. His favorites are like Tyrion who they whitewashed by S5-S8. He loves the Stark and S8 was the apology letter to the Stark children after Ned, Cat, Robb, Rickon, and Benjen are all killed. GRRM's fav sword is Dawn. Fav dragon is Balerion. Fav castle is Winterfell which is where The Night King was killed by his wife's fav character, Ayra. He likes the BEST ones. GRRM has lately been obsessed with Targs and why not? They're a fascinating family to follow. I bet GRRM was thinking about Jaime and decided to clone him but inject steroids. That's Daemon. Good and bad with steroids to make him a greater wildcard. GRRM basically merged Jaime and Tyrion to create Daemon. Oberyn is a lot like Daemon too but not quite as developed. And MCU Loki is similar but not really a badass. What makes us think he's going to make Daemon look terrible when he's his fav Targ? He gave him the most epic death scene. HOT D is going to be pro-Daemon because that's the character GRRM loves. It's HIS story and characters that he penned. The outcome is whatever GRRM wants it to be. We're just watching his story unfold. Between Rhaenyra vs. Aegon II, Aegon II technically does win. But look who dies. All his siblings. His grandpa. Criston dies. Larys and Alicent will eventually die. Rhaenyra spared Aegon's life which costed her own life. Blood from Daemyra really wins. It's their bloodline that continues through Aegon III and Viserys II. Baela, Rhaena, and Nettles also survives. Daemon's four children who didn't die stillborn all survive this war. His lineage is really the winner from the entire Dance once Aegon II gets poisoned. And Daemon's death is still in question. So maybe he's the real winner of the entire thing even though he loses Rhaenyra, Caraxes, and Dark Sister... Dance winners? Daemon & Rhaenyra's bloodline -> Viserys II -> Aegon IV -> Daeron II -> Maekar -> Aegon V -> Jaehaerys II -> Aerys II -> *Daenerys* AND Rhaegar -> *Jon Snow* (The Prince That Was Promised / A Song of Ice 🐺 & Fire 🐲)
I hope danny not dead yet, and drogon somehow managed to take her to a mighty sorcerer or witch like melissandre in the west of westeros where she will reunited with arya 🤗

A series about Duncan the Tall and a young Aegon the Conqueror would be amazing if the rumours of it being considered by HBO are true.
Aegon the unlikely not conqueror.
It wasn't aegon the conqueror it was egg
It's not going to happen. I remember George saying he wasn't interested in that. The show is probably about Aegon the conqueror not the unlikely.
Bruh dunk and egg is set 90 years before got, thats not the conqueror
Nah man, they would ruining it by making it woke. Look what why did with the Velaryons
They really needed to do a series based on the Doom of Valyria. I thought that's what House of the Dragon going to be.
Disagree, I believe that story holds more weight when it’s maintained as a great mystery, I would prefer to just get snippets of info and let my mind wander on the rest!
If that's what you thought then you never read the book Blood and Fire lol
GRRM has said he wants to keep it mysterious
That’s kinda on you, I mean this Is based on the books, but I digress.
I mean we still have 3 seasons left lol baby steps
The noise that comes when Drogon attacks, gives me goosebumps.
So, since Viserys never wanted Aegon to sit on the throne, he never passed to him the knowledge of the prophecies... Only to Rhaenera.

If we get Aegon's Conquest as a series, I think Visenya would be my favorite female character ever. She's a badass and the first Targaryen to wield Dark Sister that Daemon will get.
He got it and has it
I think the rule of spin offs should simply be: Trust source material. If there are stories written by Martin then adapt those faithfully.

Agree 100%- saying 'the show is the show, & the books are the books' feels a bit like a copout- a blanket excuse to deviate however they want, rather than where necesary (the ages of the youngest characters), or where it serves the story (behind the scenes details & politicking, which I can get behind- up to a point)
You kind of can't do Dunk & Egg imo, _without_ combining it with the Blackfyre Rebellions era- which is something with a long time between all the seeds being planted (back in the reigns of Daeron I, Baelor I, Viserys II, Aegon IV *&* Daeron II), & when the first war kicks off - you contrast the intimate, small scope of their travels- with the wider scope of what's going on in Westeros & at the Court (from the perspectives of figures like Bloodraven, Shiera, Daeron, Daenaerys, Daemon & Aegor).

I've always wanted to know more about Rhaegar Targaryen and see more of his story even though he was killed by fat Robert.
Robert wasn't that fat when he killed Rhaegar. And Robert is part Targaryen. Both come from Daemon and Rhaenyra's lineage. Shireen talked about her ancestors without knowing.
Do you realize that Robert was a better fighter back then? Strong, fit and a badass.
weak fighter rhaegar got bodied by strong robert
it's his fault to triggering Robert (take his promise wife in front of him) and not keep his father the mad king in check, his father killing the starks is a final straw.
He’s not fat, it’s 300 pounds of pure muscle.
After this "Fire and Blood" adaptation I really hope they keep on telling the story of the Targaryens as far a the Mad King and Robert's Rebellion. I really imagine it almost like a historical chronicle show...but with Targaryens lol

Yeah that sounds fun. Aegon comes to Westeros and runs through everyone easy. Dorne holds on by hiding. The end
*HEAVY* *BOOK* *SPOILERS*
The happiest times for Daemon are the years between the time jumps. They're off-screen. His 10 years with Laena and their twin daughters in Essos. He was at peace. His first 6 years with Rhaenyra in Dragonstone. Did you see how happy he looked about those dragon eggs? Never seen Daemon smile so big and look that excited. Fatherhood changed him.

Rhaenyra will lose that third child with Daemon in her belly but Syrax laid three eggs. Perfect number for Daemon's kids so that's one for Rhaena, Aegon III, and Viserys II although the latter doesn't get a dragon. Rhaena will have Morning and Aegon III will have Stormcloud. Viserys II's bloodline will produce Daenerys and Jon Snow/Aegon.
I'm actually not even looking forward to Daemon vs. Aemond. I think most people already know who wins and GRRM is going to be pro-Daemon since that's his favorite Targaryen. If Aemond still had two eyes and fought on the ground, I'd still have my money on Daemon. The one I'm looking forward to more is does Daemon live or not? Did he get swallowed by Caraxes or Vhagar by accident? Body was never found.
I don't mind if they keep it a mystery forever. Let our imaginations run wild with it. But I wouldn't be too shocked if we do see a final scene of him in Pentos. Of course people will ask, why leave Aegon III and Viserys II there in Westeros? Question his fatherhood again. Perhaps Daemon will live in Pentos and tell Baela and Rhaena to help raise his sons there? They do act like loving older sisters to Aegon III.
Daemon seems to hate Westeros from all the political scheming as he told Laena in Ep 6 and never wanted the throne from Viserys or Rhaenyra. He's only back there to help Rhaenyra as he's all about protecting people he loves. All he wanted in Ep 1-4 was to protect his brother. But he got pushed away. That's why I believe if he does survive, he will return to Pentos and tell his daughters to help raise his youngest sons in Westeros.
Now this makes Daemon not give a damn about any of his children as he's about protecting people he loves, right? But where's the war by that point? Most of them are dead. He can also be losing an arm or something. Only way they can make him live on is if he's living outside of Westeros the way Laenor got written. Wouldn't disrupt the book's canon. Daemon would need to hide really well next to Nettles if he lives in Westeros. Obi-Wan only stayed hidden for 10 years until Vader found him.
Daemon is supposed to die before Rhaenyra. But people estimate Rhaenyra will die by the end of S3. If we have 4 seasons, the final season and series finale may NOT have Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy. I don't know how that final season and series finale gets carried when two of the most popular characters are eliminated? HBO isn't going 100% by the book. It's obvious they will alter some things. But I don't see them altering Rhaenyra's death.
The Dance of the Dragons lasts from 129-131 AC. Daemon and Rhaenyra die in 130. There are still more events that follows their deaths....
- The Moon of the Three Kings
- Battle of the Kingsroad
- Aegon II's Death
- The False Dawn
- Hour of the Wolf (this involves Cregan Stark)
- The Regency of Aegon III
That final season will be interesting. All the major characters are gone. Otto got beheaded. Criston gets killed by archers. Alicent is imprisoned and eventually dies in it. Aemond is killed by Daemon as his skeleton was found with Dark Sister through his last good eye years later. Daemon is assumed dead. Rhaenyra gets eaten by Sunfyre. Larys will eventually die.
We might lose Daemon and Rhaenyra as early as the end of S3 or no later than mid-S4. Rhaenyra will NOT be in the series finale and who knows what happened to Daemon if he got to live the rest of his life with Nettles in Essos? If he does survive, why did he leave Dark Sister in Aemond's eye socket? Get it back. Baela, Rhaena, Aegon III, and Viserys II or Daemon's children are the only ones introduced in S1 who survives this war.
How Daenerys and Jon Snow are related to Daemon and Rhaenyra??
Rhaenrya and Daemon Targaryen are the parents of -> *Viserys II* Targaryen, father of -> *Aegon* *IV* Targaryen, aka Aegon the Unworthy, father of -> *Daeron* *II* Targaryen, aka Daeron the Good, father of -> *Maekar* *I* Targaryen, father of -> *Aegon* *V* Targaryen, aka Aegon the Unlikely, father of -> *Jaehaerys* *II* Targaryen, father of -> *Aerys* *II* Targaryen, aka the Mad King, father of -> Daenerys Targaryen AND *Rhaegar* Targaryen, father of --> Jon Snow
The Prince That Was Promised did come from Rhaenyra's line.
*AEGON* *II* *SUCKS!* I wasn't disappointed at Aemond but Aegon II? What a joke! And he's the one who gets to live longer than all the major characters with a disfigured face! 🤦🏻♂️ So you're telling us Alicent believes her rapist son who she wants to disown is the one who will unite the Seven Kingdoms? 🤣
🖤 *RODDY* *THE* *RUIN* 🖤
Watch out for him. I think he might be a bigger BADASS than Daemon and Aemond. He's going to be a fan favorite. Moreso than *Cregan* *Stark.* Roderick Dustin is one of those grizzled, old savage warriors. He does die during the Dance but how he dies is badass the way Barristan Selmy did against a bunch of Sons of Harpy.
Why on earth you wrote all of this? For attention?
Great breakdown. Thank you
Lmao mans wrote an entire essay
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. GRRM needs to write a book, doesn’t have to be House Targaryen as the main family, but storyline that follows a powerful dragonlord family that may have been close to the Targaryens and shows the Doom of Valyria, first-hand. That would be epic! 🤔
Whoever is reading this, i pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Thank You.

It actually works in my opinion. It never said that the Targaryen would kill the knight king it stated they would reunite the kingdom. And it was two Targaryens that united the kingdom. A prince and princess that was promised. Without John snow then aria would have never fought that hard. And it took Dany to unite the rest to help to fight. So In my opinion they are making it work
I completely agree. It says to unite the kingdom against the long night, not to kill the night king. So they made it work.
"But everything changed when fire rained down from the sky"....
So when the Fire Nation attacked...?
House targaryen isn't the only house to survive the doom. House velaryon did also
I’m just gonna demand: I demand a show focusing on visenya. Aegon would’ve been slain in his own streets, castle and as a guest under the roofs of other lords had visneya not intervened on multiple occasions. Dany, rhaenyra, even daemon and aemond, none of them would’ve even been without visenya
There should be a miniseries about Aegon’s attempt to conquer Dorne.
A show about Valeria would be dope
Thank you for the research, Rebecca!!
Okay real GoT fans 5:58 what is this epic symphony I have heard all throughout the series. It’s literally gives me chills every time
Jon’s name was Aegon. The confusion caused from viserys words on deathbed to alicent kinda confirmed that the prince who was promised would be named aegon even though he meant to say that to his daughter
I woupdnt mind GRRM overseeing an anthology series on different Targaryens/Valyrians. Would be a decent opportunity for him to flesh out underutilized characters or create new ones we havent seen when covering the pre-Doom era.
Haven't seen much but Rhaenyra my best for sure
My favorite is Aemond Targaryen 💚💚💚💚
In my opinion Daemon is the best Targaryen as he has both dark and bright sides.
Danny is my favourite, she does it all alone, like not all alone I mean she has none of her family's support and she makes her dreams come true, well almost, dam you Jon snew
Been watching HOtD and loving GoT for what it is. If HBO decides to run with another series aegon’s conquest would be the best pick but I think there’s another story to be told, the war between the first men and the children of the forest always fascinated me but not much was ever explained, that would be one id 100% invest in
Daemon is my and alot of others favourite
Oh so you can speak for other people now?
@@marcjameswhelan Certainly not. I speak for myself.
@@marcjameswhelan no but i can tell you others opinion cuzz i've heard ppl day that Daemon is their fav. So perhaps think before you speak 😉
this is the reason why we expected so much on GOT's season finale. Because the 7 kingdom was supposed to be united due to the white walkers but then..
Jon Snow was the prince that was promised. It's been confirmed.
We need a Top 10 movies of Kevin Costner!
I love the pacing of the videos
Daemon Targaryen is my fav
I love house targaryen they are my favorite house in the series
why
Same!!
Obviously Daenerys Targaryen is the best Targaryen !
"A future Targaryen, who would defeat the impending threat."
D&D: "What was that? Arya Stark?"
Seriously though, how sad that the prophecy was nothing but BS on the main TV show. Unless the upcoming Jon Snow spin-off will retcon stuff yet again...
Daemon is my favorite Targaryen.
All this talk and dreams about the prince who was promised and then they let Aria kill the night king as a plot twist 🙃🫠🫠
Daemon The Rouge Prince with his Blood Wrym Caraxes
If im going to rewrite the GOT season 8 I will seperate the 7 kingdoms again become independent. Because the point of the dream of aegon targayen is to unite the 7 kingdom to deal the threat of white walkers. Bran should only the peace keeper of the realm.
My favorite Targaryens are Daenerys, Rhaenyra & Visenya. 🔥🐉
I dont care what anyone says,
The Targaryen that united the realm,that was the promised one,
Was and will always be Jon Snow
I think the prince they were talking about in the song of ice and fire was John snow he was the last male Targaryen
I always wondered since it took 12 years after dany had the dream and she got her father to move with the rest of her family what was going on 11 years before the doom. I'm sure there had to be some members of the family that thought dany and her dreams are full of s…..
Oh. Thats why nobody knows the secret of the dagger in GOT cause the tru heir to the throne died without passing the knowledge
Now this just makes me want to see more stories of Aegon the Conqueror himself rather than House of The Dragon 😅❤
Why? It would be boring. Aegon just ran through everyone except Dorne who just hid. The Dance Of Dragons is probably the craziest time in Westeros history besides GOTs
This show is sick
I nominate Alexander skarsgard to play AEGON Targaryen
Is Daemon really a morally grey character or is it just a term GRRM enjoys using? I'd read Reddit comments saying Daemon is as grey as a black hole. Still can't get over Blood and Cheese.
*SPOILERS*
From my POV, I believe most of the time he is. Blood and Cheese was cold-hearted but I find it redeemable. Yes, it's war. Aemond struck first. Daemon only ordered it. Aemond did that crime without remorse. Daemon has higher morals but lower ethics. Aemond showed neither to Luke.
Here's the thing, if Viserys had just listened to Daemon since Ep 1 or 4, none of this Alicent crap or bastards rumors would happen. Even Matt said it. It's like Daemon needs to shake his older brother and tell him, "I love you, bro. I'm trying to protect you! Wake up, man!” But Viserys refused to listen.
Blood and Cheese is no worse to me than what Tywin and Walder did to the Starks. That was much worse including stabbing into a pregnant woman. Was it wrong? Sure. But I find it retaliation. It's just unfortunate Helaena fell victim to it.
I think if Daemon never ordered Blood and Cheese, people will still whine how nearly perfect he is. How he's this badass Gary Stu. People are just haters. Whoever is popular, they want to bring them down to look smarter than everyone else.
Just enjoy the characters whether they're flawed or not. If they want to nitpick everyone, that's on them. But I could care less of watching saints interact. HOT D is no monastery. I want to see unpredictable characters do bad things to each other.
Didn't Anakin Skywalker redeem himself 23 years later after he *massacred* children? He obviously had to deal with that penance after getting burned and decapitated.
It's interesting how people can hate someone popular when every single person who were non-fictional were flawed. Name all the mistakes Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and JFK all had as POTUS. When Queen Elizabeth died, people on Twitter cheered.
Almost anyone or anybody flawed can be hated. You can be Jesus Christ and people won't believe in him. A great character to me isn't just who is the biggest badass? If this was the case, then Khal Drogo would be my #1. But he isn't because he wasn't all that developed with a ton of range.
Everyone will try to find qualities that will make them like that character. My brother likes Steve Rogers because he looks for the character with the highest moral compass. I'm a Tony Stark guy because while I think he can be a douchebag, I find him way more charismatic and likeable than Steve. He's still heroic and does care for others even if he doesn't always show it.
We all look for different things in characters we like. My preference is charisma mixed with being a BADASS. An alpha who is fearless. Someone funny and charming too. That's Jaime and Daemon. Some will prefer more of the Jon and Robb. More serious. What's so wrong liking flawed characters like Jaime or Daemon who committed crimes? Daenerys committed crimes. Aemond will.
We're not looking to love only the innocent "saints" in their cruel world. I prefer Han Solo over Luke Skywalker. I prefer Darth Vader over both of them and Yoda. I prefer Batman over Superman. I prefer Loki over Captain America. I prefer Cersei over Daenerys. Bite me if I prefer the ones with the more flawed personalities and the darker heroes/antiheroes/villains.
It was Jon. He is literally the song of ice and fire
I can listen to Rebecca voice for hours
"A future Targaryen who would defeat the coming winter."
Aegon should have slept a little longer, because Arya doesn't look like a Targaryen too me.
Like this won't spoil me on "A Song of Ice and Fire " .Since I just got the book few weeks ago ,And was never real into fantasy in til I the "Lord of the Rings " movies on the big screen ,And then "Game of Thrones " came along down the pipe .I mean "Star Wars " was the only fantasy I was in ,Even as kid when it was new and different at the time .And I do like this new show called "House of Dragon" .
Egg is my favorite Targaryen.
They need to remake GOT season 8 to end the show in a decent way and with logic.
Rhaeger Targaryen is my favorite, problematic, I know but can't help it.
Who could play Aegon the Conquerer if they portray his story?
But that prophecy could have been either Jon Snow or Daenerys cuz both had enough back in and both of Targaryen blood
Daemon is the best. He is perfect
@1.20 but everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
Aegon Targaryen(Jon Snow)
Deamon Targaryen
My favorite targaryens are Daenerys and daemon and jaehaerys the first 💝🥰
There is no point in comparing this daemon along with dany with the Conciliator.
Man, the reign Jaehaerys was so prosperous the population of all the kingdom nearly doubled and kings landing grown 4 times
@@sanhcman666 I'm not comparing Daenerys and daemon to jaehaerys in any way
I'd have to say Aegon the conqueror, Daemond blackfire, and visenya.and deamond.
Daemon and Aemond 😅
Deamon Targaryen favorite
Knowing how GOT ends, the fact that HOTD keeps bringing up the prophesy of a Targaryen prince or princess defeating the White Walkers HAS to mean that the prophesy itself isn’t true, rather a paranoid Targaryen putting his own house and blood at the center of history, assuming that his bloodline will be the savior of the realm. All this proves how paranoid Aegon was and made others, and just how wrong he was since we know we kills the Night King in the end
The Mad King
3:26 & 7:44 & 8:57 where's this video's title?
Arya stark was the prince that was promised
So the Doom was basically Pompeii?
Half the Targaryens weren't mad tho
Dany will always be my queen
The best Targaryen in my opinion is Baelon the Brave, The king who never was. Change my mind
I see my problem with this is calling him to cruel because he fought against the church who was killing dragons and family members as well as all their Authority if anything he should be called priest hater or savior of the royal house
Best Targaryen is Maester Aemon. His decision to refuse the throne allowed for history to proceed as prophesied, notwithstanding D&D's awful interpretation for the show.
So there's no point for the prince that was promise to be found? Since we know how it ended in GOT ?
I am just using HotD as my new book canon lol, fuck season 8.
Viserys is weak and indecisive but when it comes to the succession suddenly "his word is law"?
So Aegon the conqueror is King Viserys grand father?
great-grandfather
*great-great grandfather?
When night king was defeated and killed, Cersei was on Iron throne so don’t get these dream😊
Did the king think he was speaking to Rhanera on his death bed?
Of course
The prince that was promised was obviously Jon Snow, I don’t understand why feminists and other woke factions don’t seem to want to accept it. “ from my blood comes the prince that was promised” so it’s obviously not Arya. It could have been Daenerys but she was assassinated by Jon so it’s unlikely she was the princess that was promised and some say she was the threat to end the world and not necessarily the night king so that leaves Jon, who united the north and the free folk against the white walkers and got Daenerys on his side along with her dragons and army so he was certainly the one that lead the fight against the dead.
Are any targaryan's fireproof? Just like Deanerys...
No. And book Dany wasn't, too - her hair burned, Jon had a burned hand
7:46 😂😂☠️😵😂 8:02
We know who the prince who was promised is... that's why I hate these videos always trying to confuse instead of telling it like it is
Aegon prophercy sounds so great. If only D&D didn't blow it, by creating White Walkers minor subplot which end by girl, which is not prince that was promised, ending up winter by one stab.
How many stabs you wanted? Even book Sam with one stab killed a WW. And it wasn't some random girl, nor she was a little girl anymore
I’ve always wondered who narrates these mojo videos.
I feel the statement on targeryen madness is so exaggerated ,like at most 5 targeryens went mad and all their cases could be argued especially Maegor.He is written in the history books as senile and vicious yet all hi actions had reason.if the targeryens want to consolidate thir power they should cut down any challenge to them that's simply what Maegor did.
Maegor died relatively young.
And most of the targaryen kings were inadequate or worse.
The best of the best were Jaehaerys I, followed by the conqueror aka aegon I, later Daeron I and finally aegon V
@@sanhcman666 that doesn't mean they were mad ,and one bad king is better than 7 kingdoms constantly fighting among themselves to the woe of the small folk
@@samtinashemaraya2322 Yeah right.
Viserys I, the one that died recently on HOTD, is the cause of what is to come.
And Aegon IV, well, he earned the title The unworthy.
The Targaryen's aren't the only Dragon Lord's to survive the Doom some other Dragon Lord whose name I can't remember was also away from Valeryia at the time of it's destruction, he put together a army to find out what happened flew there on his dragon and was never heard from again
7:46 WAT
So basically what you're saying is that the House Targaryen were the most successful doomsday preppers ever? loll
my favorate targerian is daemon
This fictional saga of the Targaryen’s and their constant infighting, inbreeding and rise to power through “accident of birth” is as good a reason as any in our real world that democratically elected leaders in a republic is always the best option for a nation.
Or constitutional monarchy
*Team* *Green* *Fans* *(Spoilers)*
Team Green fans are so happy Daeron the Daring exists and think more viewers will sympathize with the Greens. How? 🤣 They have Aegon II, an alcoholic rapist. He's going to unite the Seven Kingdoms? They have Otto and Larys, a manipulative homewrecker and a psychopath. They have Criston the incel.
They have Aemond who hasn't killed Luke in cold-blood yet. This is worse than Daemon's Blood and Cheese because Daemon only ordered it. Aemond killed Luke cold-blooded. This is Aemond with all the time to think about it but committed the crime anyway. I do feel Daemon should've killed Aemond over Helaena's eldest.
There's no path for me to believe that more people will sympathize with the Greens after Blood kills Jaehaerys. The Greens drew first blood. They destroy more kingdoms. Green supporters are delusional to believe we'll care about them after Helaena commits suicide and Daeron gets killed.
Aemond stan: Daemon is reckless and obnoxious. Aemond is quiet, cold, and calculated.
Um, Daemon barely says anything. 🤣 Maybe when he was 31 and no kids yet. Aemond got triggered from a giggle and he's calculated at age 15? I don't think Daemon fears Aemond at all. If Daemon did, Aemond's head would already be sliced off at that dinner table. But Aemond stans are coming up with the most delusional reasoning for their inferior character.
Do you really think someone like GRRM is going to make Daemon lose to someone like Aemond knowing he's a fan of so many of these characters he writes including Daemon who he loves? GRRM is biased.
Look at all his favorites from his stories he writes. His favorites are like Tyrion who they whitewashed by S5-S8. He loves the Stark and S8 was the apology letter to the Stark children after Ned, Cat, Robb, Rickon, and Benjen are all killed.
GRRM's fav sword is Dawn. Fav dragon is Balerion. Fav castle is Winterfell which is where The Night King was killed by his wife's fav character, Ayra. He likes the BEST ones. GRRM has lately been obsessed with Targs and why not? They're a fascinating family to follow.
I bet GRRM was thinking about Jaime and decided to clone him but inject steroids. That's Daemon. Good and bad with steroids to make him a greater wildcard. GRRM basically merged Jaime and Tyrion to create Daemon. Oberyn is a lot like Daemon too but not quite as developed. And MCU Loki is similar but not really a badass.
What makes us think he's going to make Daemon look terrible when he's his fav Targ? He gave him the most epic death scene. HOT D is going to be pro-Daemon because that's the character GRRM loves. It's HIS story and characters that he penned. The outcome is whatever GRRM wants it to be. We're just watching his story unfold.
Between Rhaenyra vs. Aegon II, Aegon II technically does win. But look who dies. All his siblings. His grandpa. Criston dies. Larys and Alicent will eventually die. Rhaenyra spared Aegon's life which costed her own life. Blood from Daemyra really wins. It's their bloodline that continues through Aegon III and Viserys II. Baela, Rhaena, and Nettles also survives.
Daemon's four children who didn't die stillborn all survive this war. His lineage is really the winner from the entire Dance once Aegon II gets poisoned. And Daemon's death is still in question. So maybe he's the real winner of the entire thing even though he loses Rhaenyra, Caraxes, and Dark Sister...
Dance winners? Daemon & Rhaenyra's bloodline -> Viserys II -> Aegon IV -> Daeron II -> Maekar -> Aegon V -> Jaehaerys II -> Aerys II -> *Daenerys* AND Rhaegar -> *Jon Snow* (The Prince That Was Promised / A Song of Ice 🐺 & Fire 🐲)
What are you goin on and on and on about????
Right wtf if he trying to prove just stating random ass facts from the books some people love the sound of their own voice.
