Notice how Caraxes only stirs after Daemon raises his sword, as if he could feel his anger. I thought that was a cool detail landing credence to the idea that there exists a psychic bond between dragons and riders.

The fact that Mysaria isn't pregnant isn't a change from the book. The book was written by a Maester who got his informations from other Maesters and a jester, so it doesn't contain the absolute truth, it was more likely a subjective version of the truth. So when Daemon says that his soon-to-be wife is pregnant and they believe it (as they would I guess, I think his "one day" line to Rhaenyra in Valyrien was too quite for them to hear and I think very few people actually speak that language) it would be written down as the truth. That's the fascinating thing for people who read the book, we know that subjective report from Maester Gyldayn but now we're about to see what really happend.

Mysaria doesn't have to be pregnant. Just remember that the book is written from a Maester's perspective so it is not an direct eyewitness testimonial but a biased retelling from a mix of unreliable "sources" of a very important past event. Remember that the Maesters are from Old Town so in their minds Otto probably looks like a benevolent and wise leader instead of a selfish, power hungry manipulator.

The first image is not about Dragon vs Dragon, it's the Doom of Valyria. The second image is about Aegon's Conquest. They both represent how truly the Targaryens started to be important to the World right after the Doom happened, because they are the last dragon riders in the world, thus their power comes from "fire and blood". Also, Viserys dropped Balerion's figure but the model is an older Belarion; now compare the model to the buildings and the mountains. And remember that Balerion was a "kid/baby dragon" when the Doom of Valyria happened. Just to give you a visual of how Balerion even on its heighest point wasn't even a match to what Valyrian's buildings looked like. It is also believed that Belarion is the biggest KNOWN dragon, and that there could be even bigger ones, before OR after Belarion.

Small potatoes, but I think you might have misinterpreted the first dial in the opening sequence. I think it's be depicting the Doom of Valyria with the cracks in the mountain as it gets ready to explode. So the dragons wouldn't be fighting, but maybe frightened or just shown in a chaotic state
