In the books Aegon is actually capable ruler and dragon rider. And Aemond never betrayed him. Complete difference in tv show

I was flabbergasted when I saw what Aemond did to Aegon and Sunfyre 😭 ngl the implications of this changes a lot

Aegon ain’t building him statue after this

I've believe he did in the books. Aemond seemed power hungry in the books and it's always been strange to me that the books say he descended from above on both sunfyre and melys, it seemed like a "I'm doing my job to everyone else including Aegon, but it would benefit me for him to be harmed, since I would be regent"

Second season has been all about "Here's why team black is cool and greens absolutely suck" There is No brothership no honor no family, they literally took everything from team green, If you didn't choose team black in the first season you won't change it in the second, so I'm now like, IDC who wins anymore

People don’t want to accept the fact that the book is an account of what happened. Not the happening

Fire And Blood is a way different type of book than the main ASOIAF novels. It’s not as detailed as those books because it’s not told through the eyes of present time pov characters. This gives the show a ton of 100% justified creative freedom and they’re using that freedom to tell us their version of how things went down. The show isn’t perfect but in my opinion them adding stuff like this is totally fine and it doesn’t stray too far away from the book or anything like that.

I really wish instead of having Aemond actively attacking his brother Aegon just gets injury from the battle. But show Aemond really enjoying finally being the one in charge even to the point he is fearful of Aegon's recovery.

Show fans seem very confused. They act like theyre entitled to claim the show is the one true canon and claim the book is just a second hand account. No, the show isnt the true canon. The show and the books are two seperate canons. Its this way now just as it was with game of thrones the show vs asoiaf books

GRRM has already said that the show is not canon to the books. Moreover, not only are there characters that straight up don't exist in the show, but also the characterisation of many of the characters doesn't make sense in the context of the book. We can say with confidence that the show is just using certain characters and incidents from the book canon as vessels for a different story they want to tell.

Good point, why didn't Baela see Vhagar move to this point if she has been scouting this whole time in the show.

Actually Aemond did burn Aegon in the book.

Fire and blood is meant to be a history book written by unreliable third-party sources within the universe. Each with its own biased interpretation of facts. And as in the real world history, it's shaped to favor whoever ends up on top. GRRM, who works with the showrunners, has said that the show its meant to be the actual version of how things happened. Of course there's gonna be some things that change simply because it is in a tv show format. But regarding character motivation and private moments like this where only the main characters are around, the show it's the true version

Thankyou for the massive spoiler IN THE TITTLE, a DAY after the episode drops

Now, thanks to the series, my wife will think I am a psychopath for liking Aemond

Don’t put spoilers in your fucking titles dude

I think the books are what history wants us to believe what happened and the show is actually showing us.

she was so scared of risking her sons' lives that her inaction killed them instead

When i first read TPATQ, and it said that Vhaegar fell on them both from above , i took it as Aemond attempted to kill Aegon . Im kinda surprised that people took it as a accident but George is really good and making the reader believe whatever the maesters say lol . People still say dragons have genders because the maesters believe so but Barth says they are both and Barth is always right 💯

So he regrets killing Luke but is fine with murdering his brother in cold blood? not making much sense.

Might I suggested a video on the following topic: The show kind of made the Starks more rustic than they where in the books. House Stark in the novels where not as wealthy as the Lannister's but they where a lot wealthier than the show. First lets look at what they wear in the books which is nothing like there costumes in the show. Side note Lord Rickard owned Steel armour and gold spurs. When Arya is packing to go to Kings Landing she files where chest with silk and Sansa is fond of blue silk. In Kings Landing Eddard looked nothing like what he did in the show, he always wore what he called his council silk. Ned also commissions a new uniform for his guards. Long cloaks of heavy grey wool decorated with white satin borders. Their cloaks are pinned with hands of beaten silver representing there Lords office as hand of the King. When he was on the Iron Throne Ned wore a white double embosomed with a grey dire wolf. In Winterfell at the feast welcoming the King and Royal Family they all dressed grandly, including Benjen Stark. There are high born brothers in the Nights Witch from the north and south and I have never seen one dressed as well as Benjen at that feast, not even Lord Commander Mormont himself. He wears rich black velvet high black leather boots. His wide belt has a silver buckle and very heavy silver chain. When Bran is attacked by Wildlings he is attacked for what he is wearing and he is second legitimate son and he is wearing a wolfs head broch of silver and jet. Jet is a gemstone and this is not a formal event this is just outriding in the woods. Jon wears fine blacks and mole skin gloves which would not be cheap. At Winterfell harvest feast Bran is dressed quote, as befits a Prince and Robb wears a bronze crown and Catelyn describes her sons royal Kingly attire as quote magnificent. Also Theon Greyjoy dressed very well when he was living with Stark in silk and Gold and Balon fears the Starks have made him soft. I doubt Greyjoy money was funding Theon's extravagant lifestyle. When he takes Winterfell he crowns himself Prince of Winterfell and orders and orders a new crown forged with black diamonds and chunks of gold. Where did he get the gold and diamonds if not from Winterfell's plundered treasury. And before Winterfell Bran and Luwin gave the Manderley's gold and build a royal fleet and mint coins. At the Winterfell harvest feast Now lets look at Winterfell it is much bigger and much grander than in the show this is a Castle built of granite which is an opulent martial. Winterfell is a huge castle complex spanning several acres and encircled by two massive granite walls. Remember the Castle is built over natural hot springs and as the wiki explains. The water is piped through walls and chambers to heat them, making Winterfell more comfortable than other castles during the harsh northern winters. Also from the wiki Inside the walls, the complex is composed of dozens of courtyards and small open spaces. Weapons training and practice take place in those yards. The inner ward is a second, much older open space in the castle where archery practice takes place. It is located next to the broken tower. Inside Winterfell stands the inner castle, which contains the Great Keep and the Great Hall. Winterfell's towers and halls have diamond-shaped window panes.[6] Inner Castle The Great Keep is the innermost castle and stronghold of the castle complex. It was built over natural hot springs to keep it warm.[5] The Great Keep contains bedchambers for House Stark[5] as well as the solar of Lord Eddard Stark.[7] The building is connected to the armory by a covered bridge.[8] From a window on the covered bridge, one can see the entire yard.[9] Beneath the Great Keep are cellars with narrow windows.[10] The Great Hall is used for receiving guests and the place where the household dines together, including the Lord of Winterfell. It is made of grey stone[11] and has wide doors made of oak and iron,[12] which opens to the castle yard, and a rear exit leads to a dimly-lit gallery.[12] Inside it can hold eight long rows of trestle tables, four to each side of the central aisle,[12] and the hall can seat five hundred people.[13] There is a raised platform for noble guests, and the walls are covered with banners.[11] The hall contains the high seat of the old Kings in the North. The seat's cold stone has been polished by the many lords who have sat upon it, and its massive arms are decorated with the carved heads of snarling direwolves.[14][15] The small sept was built for Lady Catelyn Tully, a southron, by her husband, Lord Eddard.[16] Courtyard and Other Buildings The First Keep, a squat and round drum tower, is the oldest surviving part of the castle but is no longer in use. Around it lies a lichyard where the Kings of Winter would bury their loyal servants. The keep has gargoyles atop it.[17][6] Maester Kennet determined it was built after the Andals arrived.[18] The broken tower, also known as the Burned Tower, was once the tallest watchtower in Winterfell. Over 140 years ago a lightning strike set it afire and the top third collapsed inward, but no one rebuilt it.[19][20] It stands behind the old inner ward. Crows nest atop the broken tower.[19] The ancient godswood of Winterfell has stood untouched for ten thousand years, with three acres of old packed earth and close-together trees creating a dense canopy, which the castle was built around. At the center of the grove stands an ancient weirwood with a face carved into it, standing over a pool of black water.[16] Across the godswood from the heart tree, beneath the windows of the Guest House, an underground hot spring feeds three small pools, with a moss-covered wall looming above them. The godswood is enclosed by walls, and is accessed by a main iron gate, or smaller wooden ones. The Glass Gardens[21] is a greenhouse heated by the hot springs, which turn it into a place of moist warmth.[5] It is used to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers.[9][22] The garden has green and yellow glass panes[10] locked in frames.[8] The crypt of Winterfell, located near the First Keep, is where members of House Stark are buried. The underground crypts are long and narrow, with pillars moving two by two along its length. Between pillars stand the sepulchers of the Starks of Winterfell, the likenesses of the dead seated on thrones, with iron swords set before them to keep the restless spirits from wandering, and snarling direwolves at their feet. The crypts are deep under the earth, cavernous and bigger than the complex above ground. They are accessed by a twisting stone stair and a huge ironwood door that lies at a slant to the floor. The stair continues below to older levels where the most ancient Kings in the North are entombed.[23][17][10] The Bell Tower is connected to the rookery by a bridge. The bridge is covered and runs from the fourth floor of the tower to the second floor of the rookery.[6][8] The maester's turret is below the rookery.[24] The Library Tower houses the library at Winterfell. A stonework staircase winds about its exterior.[8] The Guards Hall is in line with the Bell Tower, and further back, the First Keep.[6] Winterfell has undercrofts and cellars.[25] The castle also has dungeons,[25] including tower cells.[26] Walls Winterfell is a huge castle complex spanning several acres, defended by two massive walls of grey granite with a wide moat between them.[4] The outer wall is eighty feet high, while the inner is one hundred feet high.[4] There are guard turrets on the outer wall and more than thirty watch turrets on the crenelated inner walls. The great main gates[7] have a gatehouse made of two huge crenelated bulwarks which flank the arched gate[8] and a drawbridge that opens into the market square of the winter town.[27][28] There is a narrow tunnel inside of the inner wall stretching halfway around the castle, allowing travel from the south gate all the way to the north gate without interruption.[19] The Hunter's Gate is close to the kennels and the kitchens. It opens directly onto open fields and the wolfswood, so people can come and go without having to cross through the winter town. It is favored by hunting parties.[4] The East Gate[10] or east gate[29] leads to the kingsroad.[10] The Kingsroad Gate[7] may be another name for the same gate. The Battlements Gate is a small arched postern in the inner wall. It crosses the moat between the walls but does not have a passageway through the outer wall.[7]# When Jon Snow becomes Lord Commander of the Nights Watch he considers building a glass building but thinks it will be costly and for such fine glass he would need to look Myr and by the freedom of a few glass makers. We know Sansa loves lemon cakes and lemon trees do not grow naturally in the north importing lemon seeds to Winterfell from the reach or Doren would not be cheap. My guess would be the seeds came form Doren as one need only sail up the narrow sea than the up the White Knife. Finally Maester Luwin has his own turret and mentions having servents of his own. The Starks top servants have servants Not as wealthy as the Lannister but it clear Ned and Robb after him where unlike in the show 2 of the wealthiest man in the world.

The show runners and GRRM have already addressed the changes. The books were written by the maesters and only has their perspective, the show is trying to provide the behind the scenes motives and content that the maesters were not privy to. It’s how things were vs how history recorded it.

In the book Aegon and Aemond fight together with Meleys and he love his brother

Always thought that what i infered from aemond's loyalty to his brother was that he knew his brother was hurting because he lost his son ( throigh his killing of luke) that aemond feels responsible. So i infered how he emerged from the battle of rooks rest unharmed as just a conveniant coincidence. Although it wasn't until he engaged maely's that all 3 dragons plummeted. But by virtue of him being a second son he's naturally viewed with suspicion for taking power for himself. Like how maekar knew how he'll be viewed through murdering baelor breakspear even though it was an accident at the tourney if Ashford

I just want to know who dies next without reading a word of the book 👀

Aemond being okay with Aegon injuries is okay but trying to have him kill him is taking it to far

True.Changes and Changes.For Different and More Different than Book 📖 Fire And Blood

I mean I've never read the books, but from what I've seen from lore videos, I feel as though some of these scenes are nice changes, while a good amount would have done better by sticking with the original story. And as the story seems to be narrated by 3 unreliable narrators, making it somewhat unclear what really happened, I think a mix of clear truths and a bit of ambiguity for the audience to play with would make it far better. I felt that dichotomy is played well within the better characters like Aemond, Daemon, and Viserys. And sometimes with Alicent and hopefully this Rivers woman. Also wanted to know if the dragons in the lore known to have unique personalities or behaviors? I found myself having issues with the battle of Rooks Rest. I thought it was pretty cool to see the dragon's fight and all, but I found that giving the Dragons personalities distracted me from what I thought would be the ultimate showing of Rhaenyra and Viserys's warnings of the power of dragons. Instead of awing at the absolute devastation and death brought upon the battlefield, I was more worried about these giant fire-breathing puppies that had feelings and cared about their owners as they screamed and died. Which I think is quite different from their portrayals in past episodes, as well as how Viserys describes them. Another issue I had was just how sneaky Vaghar is. I understand there was fire and smoke, but why not fly high above the field to spot the biggest dragon of Westeros.

Man, love your videos incredibly, thanks for your hard work, but this is a straight-up spoiler in the title. I was looking forward to watching the episodes in a few days

Wow!

do you know why is gendry send to the wall? in s01 e10 he say "but my master got sick of me, so... here i am" to arya. Did I not notice something so obvious that no one else asks about it? Obviously he is a hard-working and good blacksmith, so why should the master be sick of him?

Aemond is hilarious 😂💚

I mean, it was ambiguous in the books. But not like what we saw in the show couldn't have happened based on what we know from the books.

Second Season it's More Different then Be.

I actually had slight sympathy for Aegon but not anymore what he did was awful to his own brother AND THAT DRAGON 😭

In The Book 📚 And Season 1 it's Needed to Be Aegon The Conqueror And His Sisters.

I liked season 1 but in season 2 everyone just suckssss...

Yes this bothers me as so unrealistic, and even more so in the show. They even say "theyre daring us to send a dragon" and the only reason theyd do that is if vhagar was there. Alao their strength is in their number of dragons. In the show they could have sent vhagar moondancer and vermax. They could have spoken of dragonwarfare strategy. The smaller dragons are never to engage the larger, and use their agility and speed to ONLY attack tbe riders from above. Meleys could engage and distract the dragons in combat. I wish they had gjven us better reason to only send meleys, as ae know that happened in the books. Also i do not understand how baela never would have even seen vhagar. Its honestly clear incompetence. Everyone talks about rhaenyra and the blacks being portrayed as too righteous and moral, and the show being too biased in their favor but i literally do not see it. I wish rhaenys had agreed go with caraxes and daemon to kings landing. Theyd have won the war before it really got started.

No one cares about book, book and show are different and the book not really reliable

Its so fucking frustrating as a fan to see them keep twisting shit to make the greens look worse and the blacks look better

If he really did betray his brother than he must be pretty stupid to think he can take the blacks dragons with just him and daeron

The author said that THE SERIES IS REALLY WHAT HAPPENED. The book is just an accounting of scribes :)

I don't like it.

Honestly, you make really great videos but your thumbnails always make me cringe a little. I don't think you need edgy/clickbait, it kinda clashes with the actual quality of your content

The problem the books are written to be propaganda from either of the Maesters and The Fool Mushroom. Neither of the sources are accurate and the Maesters due to the citadel location was team Green and pro Hightower. Mushroom account is pro sensationalist and prone exaggerating. That being said Aegon wasn't a competent ruler

There are people complaining, saying the show isn't canon. For me, the show is canon. There are two canons. Tv show canon and books canon. Also, some of the events we read in historic books might not be true, but for us, it's the real history because enough people believe in it. Also, fans are giving way too much importance to what is canon or not,and sometimes it's annoying.

Yeah, didn't like this change

The show is making Aegon look stupid to hide Aemond's wickedness......but it's not working, Aegon is more Targerian and Aemond is more Hightower.
