People see dragons as weapons, but that scene showed something different. Watching Aegon break down over Sunfyre made it clear that he hadn’t just lost a dragon, he had lost a piece of himself. #HouseoftheDragon#hotd
I really hope the show gives us at least one proper scene of Helaena riding Dreamfyre.
Knowing what awaits Dreamfyre during the Storming of the Dragonpit makes it even more heartbreaking. Before that tragic end, I’d love to see the bond between rider and dragon get the screen time it deserves. 💙🐉
For years, Cyclops was called boring.
X-Men ‘97 reminded everyone why he’s one of Marvel’s greatest leaders.
Has this series finally ended the Cyclops disrespect?

@Jadeeslike Both. She’s a survivor shaped by centuries of war, but to everyone in her path, she’s an unstoppable nightmare. That’s what makes Vhagar such a compelling dragon.
@johan1151951 That scene really humanized Aegon. Taking one of Sunfyre’s scales felt like carrying a piece of his closest companion with him. Whatever comes later, that moment was pure grief.
@Jadeeslike Both. Vhagar is a living relic who’s outlived almost everyone she ever knew, but she’s also an overwhelming force of destruction. That’s what makes her such a fascinating dragon.
@SiezerW That moment showed how quickly justice gets twisted in war. Daeron believed he was doing his duty, but Ormund made sure duty served the Greens’ interests first.
Ormund manipulated Daeron into executing a man who was simply protecting a woman from a Hightower soldier’s violence.
And people still wonder why some can’t support the Greens

@RisemovieDaily Tessarion survives the battle but is so badly wounded that she’s eventually put down to end her suffering. Daeron does not survive Tumbleton. He dies during the chaos of the battle, though the exact cause is left ambiguous in the book….Bookspoiler btw
Because despite everything, Rhaenyra still had an emotional connection to Alicent. Executing her would’ve crossed a line she wasn’t ready to cross. Keeping Alicent alive also gave Rhaenyra a valuable hostage and avoided creating a martyr for the Greens. It was a decision driven by both lingering affection and political calculation.
Daemon’s first conversation with one of his children. 😞🥹💔
Yet he refers to the children he has with Rhaenyra as “his sons,” while his first child is standing right in front of him and they are his children too.😭💔

@TheXerxesHQ At this point they turned Sunfyre into a historical landmark. The amount of people walking up to him definitely made it feel like the show was confirming there’s no coming back.
