@@d4darwin458Hey, Caraxes has some birth defects that cause him to look different from other dragons. Hence, the longer neck, skinnier legs, and the small wings on his legs. He can’t help having skinnier legs. He’s doing the best he can with what he’s got ;)
I love the little details, you can tell by the way that Baela rides moondancer that she is not that experienced and that moondancer is still young. almost like a kid just flooring it with their little honda civic on the highway.
This scene showed Baela's tactness in how she would never aim to attack them but also her control over Moondancer in how she didn't breathe fire upon the forest anyway. Really shows how she learned dragon taming from Rhaenys in contrast to Aemond who didn't and lost control of Vhagar when pulling a similar stunt. And while yes, the ages of these dragons are different, as seen with Laena, Daemon, and Rhaenys, all characters who claimed a dragon who had previous owners, it is possible to develop a deeper bond that ensures the dragons won't disobey them.
Do you really think Moondancer and Vhagar are the same ? 💀Dragons feel their riders’ emotions, Vhagar was mad when Arrax attacked her (lets not forget it is easier to maneuever a smaller dragon) Aemond was not the only rider who lost control anyway, Lucerys also lost control of Arrax.
@@bade1398 Baela wouldn't be dumb enough to use Vhagar that way. Aemond's choice to engage knowing he was angry was dumb as hell. I prefer Aemond wanting to kill Luke over this "it was an accident" bs. This makes the self proclaimed scholar look like a fool.
You can see that later in the scene,Coles just looking up watching the dragons movement and coming up with a way to stay alive and Gwayne Hightower is just pissing his pants.
I love the way Moondancer flies down just the way meleys did in the last season with seasmoke. A small little nod that meleys probably taught moondancer how to fly faster
This is how you perform a aerial attack correctly. I've played so many different kinds of flying type games starting with flight simulator. The dive bomb is classic and really the only way to sneak up on something when attacking from the air unless you happen to be a Owl.
You know I am rather enjoying the smaller dragons more myself. I think Moondancer is my favorite thus far. Her design while similar to the rest has its own style and she seems to actually be working well with her rider. As other commenters pointed out she seems to inform Baela of a target being spotted.
0:25 Yup, that's Daemon's daughter over there. Let's not forget how she and her sister savagely attacking Aemond when they were kids after Aemond "stole" Vhagar.
Baela's navigating the hell out Moondancer. She and Moondancer were coming in hot with Cole and Gwayne seriously haulin' ass.The look on their faces said it all. Imagine the terrifying feeling of knowing that a massive dragon is right at your heels looking to barbeque you.

If she were Rhaenys, then I'm pretty sure that both Cole and Gwayne will be held in captivity instantly. However, because of Baela's lack of experience as she didn't burn the forest ahead of them first, they were able to enter the forest. It's really a nice thing to see such detail
I love how they made the moon dancer dive with her wings folded like a hawk. 😍😼 That's exactly what I was hoping for from Dany and Drogon, the fact that the dragon dives with its wings open doesn't make sense 😅
What ticks me off here is that despite rhaenyra confirming with Baela’s flying that Cole and his soldiers are on the move against her allies(to her knowledge most likely Rosby and Stokeworth) she’s still trying to meet with Alicent to talk.That woman has been your enemy for 10+ years and the war of envoys and marriage pacts ended with Luke’s murder at the hands of One-Eye.The war of fire and blood has already begun
0:33 I enjoyed the suspense in this scene. Ser Criston and Gwayne only had minutes to ride hard and fast before they faced Baela on Moondancer. The chase itself was acted incredibly well, with great fear and tension!
Memo to all Green forces: Highly polished armor is probably something we want to curtail now that we are war with a force that can field numerous dragons.

Notice how Moondancer notified her that it sees something.
