I think it’s hilarious that people that just provide commentary on shows get so much wrong with what they’re talking about, just so they can hurriedly put out a vid with misinformation. I would think it was obvious that Erryk was the winner and not arryk. For one, seeing how aggressively arryk was still trying to kill rhaenyra even after his twin arrived. If he had killed his brother, he would have at least went on to “do his duty” of killing rhaenyra before killings himself

@believeume122 6 күн бұрын

I think Daemon means everything he says. He really doesnt lie. If you ask him a question he normally gives the answer that will hurt your feelings. I think it can be true that he's mad he didn't end up in the Throne and also he's fine with Rhaenyra being there. Overall Daemon loves his family and I don't think that will change. If Rhaenyra is like her dad she will welcome Daemon back whenever he's ready to come back.

@MattyCamachio 5 күн бұрын

He did lie about the blood and cheese situation. Rhanerya asked did he order the assassination on a child and all he said was it was a mistake. But it wasn’t a mistake. Cheese asked clearly “ what if we can’t find him?(Aemond) and he(Daemond) smirks and they cut it before he gives his answer. However we know that he did order the execution because Blood said “he said a son for a son”. So he does lie when it suits him

I think people, in real life, and in the show. Need to evaluate daemons INTENTIONS, AND VALUES. he is unwaveringly loyal and protective of his family, even to the point where he believes he needs to protect them from themselves, (i.e. yelling viserys he was a weak king, and his council knew it) in my opinion, while this doesn't excuse his actions, it makes him much more relatable. And his actions understandable. I haven't read the book, and may just be trying to justify for him, but as of right now I don't think daemon is simply bloodthirsty. I just think he is doing what he feels is necessary to protect the ones he loves.

@samuelballard3467 6 күн бұрын

Fun discussion. Ranira's (?) loss of Eric(?) as a trusted advisor was greater than Team Green's loss of Aaric(?) as a King's guard. The white dragon and Adam were making a connection which was why the dragon seemed to be flying closer. I think (never read the books) this will be a future rider/dragon pair.

@shfa710 5 күн бұрын

Honestly I’m shocked at all the Daemon hate! I think he has proven himself the most. He has been there running things & taking Dragon-inventory while Rhaenyra was absent and wandering around mourning her son. In a way, he’s more concerned about her crown than she is. Whatever his motivations may be I don’t think he has been selfish in his recent actions and if anything he has proven extreme loyalty! He risked his own life to go to king’s landing to execute Rhaenyra’s order/wish “I want Aemond Targaryen”. Who else would’ve done that for her? And was there a risk of the wrong people dying and plans going to shit, yes! Rhaenyra must’ve been aware of that. Also I don’t understand his loyalty being questioned, I think he has processed the fact that he will not be king, but he is prepared to risk everything (even his own life) to make sure one of his sons will be in the future. If he truly wanted the crown for himself, he would’ve ran and hid somewhere and watched the Reds & Greens kill each other, only to swoop in and take the crown at the last moment. I think his character is complex and misunderstood and gets too much undeserved hate.

📌First of all, Otto is winning me over the more he becomes of sound mind. Hilarious how he taunted Aegon😂! ALL FACTS. Rheynera is the true Heir. And Cristin is a forking socio/psychopath OHMYGAH … he weaponized his own guilt by making the Twins (R.I.P.) fight to the death! What the fork😢… Rheynera & White worm are the duo we need. I hope that alliance flourishes.. vaguely remember but they became cool in the book I believe? Duh, of course Aemond is grieving over Luke that whole situation was proof that Vaegar old ass cannot be controlled. She is a battle dragon & Aemond don’t got it like that. He ain’t really like DAT. Last but certainly not least my darling Daemon 🔥🐉 (the parents are fighting) poor Daemon… 😅 I hope they reconcile because he loves his family. Regardless of his own insecurities that he’s dealt with regarding the crown & his Brother it’s true Daemon cannot be trusted because he is the dragon. He’s definitely a conqueror & Viserys is the noble/humble king. At the end of the day Daemon loves his family, full stop. Oh, Aemond CAN’T SEE DAEMON! What!? Ain’t nobody scared of you boy!
