#HouseOfTheDragon showrunner Ryan Condal on why Rhaenyra’s youngest sons Aegon and Viserys were removed from the Battle of the Gullet:
“That was just one of the many challenges of making the show and telling a story that involves so many children, very young children, and particularly in our case where we had to compress history a little bit just to make Season 1 take place over 20 years instead of 30 years. So it just meant all of the children in the story are a little bit younger, especially the young, young children, are a little bit younger than they are even in the books. And the kids that we had for Aegon and Viserys, Rhaenyra's sons with Daemon, her youngest children are just not of an age where you can involve them with complex dramatic sequences, complex action. It's not safe, it's not practical. So it was just something that we had to dispense of rather early on in the process.
It's not to say that those characters are out of the show or anything. We all realize what an important role they play as Rhaenyra's sons with Daemon and the heirs to their particular bloodline and where they sit in the history. So we haven't forgotten about any of that. It just requires changes and adaptations to make it safe and practical. When we are going to tell a story with those kids, to be able to do so in a way that we can actually do.”

lemme guess, you stood there and waited for your gay little flavored stimulant pouches itching for a fix like a good little bitch till he was done, didn't you?
I mean to be fair, Vermax & Moondancer are small dragons, and they usually are more susceptible to those kind of weapons, whereas the larger dragons would be pretty much immune bc their scales are fully matured and are considered armor.
