I think we will be lucky if TWOW ever gets published and we can forget about a dream of spring. It will forever remain a Dream.

Cant wait to see more of Euron. He is an absolute menace.

The way I imagine it, we find out how they take Storm's End in a way similar to the Griffin's Roost chapter. With the castle already being taken when the chapter starts, and Jon Connington thinking about how they pulled it off.

I swear, if Martin doesn't get these last 2 books out before we land people on Mars, Ima flip my shit, I will.

Seems likely. For Aegon to be a legitimate force in Westeros, he can't be getting in big battles with his army (Golden Company). 1-2 big fights against a host of the size The Reach is able to field, and the forces would collapse and run back to Essos. He has to appear to be strong when in reality, he is weak. He has to pretend Dorne has joined the fold already. He has to inflate the numbers of his army. He has to inflate his claim (non-existent).

I have a different take on Mace Tyrell. I personally think his siege on Storm's End was kind of brilliant. Just hear me out, this is going to take a second. Robert's Rebellion, at the time, was heating up something fierce. Robert had a substantial portion of Westeros at his back. He had support of The Vale (somewhat), The Riverlands, The North, and The Stormlands. On top of this, The smallfolk were also rallying to his cause (not all of them, but enough to sway certain events, more on that in a second.) The Westerlands were sitting this one out, for the most part. Aerys Targarian did have a substantial force however, Robert was gaining ground by the day. Robert only lost one battle, at Ashford. However, he's won the rest up to that point. Anybody who bent the knee, he spared. The smallfolk loved him so much that they gave Jon Connington chase around Stony Sept by constantly moving Robert from place to placr until the Stark/Tully army lifted the seige. So, here's where it gets interesting (for me, at least.) Mace Tyrell sits upon the seat of, arguably, the most important regions in Westeros. His lands are rich in food, commerce and swords. If he backs the wrong seat, it would ruin him. However, he figured out a way to show his loyalties to house Targaryan without actually having to fight. By laying seige to Storm's End the way he did, he used an effective tactic (statvation and psychological warfare with his lavish feasts) without having to sacrifice much. Once he found out Robert won the battle, he surrendered and bent the knee. We see the same thing during The War of the Five Kings, as House Tyrell used starvation tactics against Kings Landing until a marriage pact was made between the Iron Throne and House Tyrell. Now, I'm not saying that Mace is a competent battle commander. Far from it. If he led an army without proper council from experienced commanders, then he's destined to get the crap kicked out of him. But, I don't think he's as buffoonish as people make him out to be, either. To be fair, I'm most likely wrong on this front. Mace is most likely not as politically savvy as I think, but I still find it interesting how his army (and his house) has been able to find victory without too much damage done to his region. Just my thoughts. Love the content, BTW.

My guess is that Aegon will team up with Reach's and Dorne's forces and march to Oldtown to deal with Euron first (since he is a bigger threat to Aegon than anyone in King's Landing at this point). As for Dany, it would be funny if she landed in Vale and allied herself with Littlefinger (I believe that weasel is capable of allying himself with just about anyone), while resurrected Jon would try to talk everyone into fighting the actual threat on the North. Only mystery to me is what Lannisters will be up to, since they are pretty much powerless now after Kevan's death. I also can't even guess what will happen to Stannis, but something tells me that his time is, unfortunately, running out.

“If Storm’s End is so impregnable, how do you mean to take it?” asked Malo. “By guile.” Maybe you're right, It’s likely that the Golden Company defeated the besieging army, and posing as sellswords hired by Stannis, gain entry into Storm’s End and overwhelm the garrison but i think it's not enough, Ser Gilbert Farring is not that gullible. I think Jon Connington will use Edric Storm to gain entry and force to surrender the garrison, in fact ,the second in command at Storm’s End, lord Elwood Meadows, is an expert in surrendering garrisons.

I see FAegon being set up as a Argilac the Arrogant character. And if my other belief that Cerci will blow up King's Landing before fleeing to the Westerlands and crowning herself as Queen of the Rock, it would leave Westeros in the same position as during the original conquest. Targaryen on Dragonstone (Danny), Arrogant claimant in Stormlands (FAegon), Dorne untouched (Doran or Arianne), Reach (Willas as think Mace will die), Iron Isles (Euron), Vale (Robin controlled by Sansa like the boy king at time of conquest), North (Jon or Stannis but implying the future of "The King Who Knelt"), Riverlands in shambles not really counting.

I feel like once they have marched on kings landing the greyscale and bells will push joncon over the edge and lead him to do something horrific to poor tommen.

I think this is all likely to happen. But I don't think Dany will burn King's Landing, because frankly, King's Landing may not even be standing by the time she shows up. When Aegon's army arrives at King's Landing, Cersei is clearly gonna go nuts, and possibly a cause a big wildfire explosion. And not only that, but I think JonCon is also going to go mad at King's Landing due to his PTSD being triggered by the bells, coupled with his greyscale, so an epidemic is likely as well. Wildfire and greyscale is how I see King's Landing is going down in the books.

I used to like the idea that Mace would take half of his troops to KL to rescue Margaery and Connington would sway Tarly and Rowan to Aegon’s cause in the meantime. However I really like this suggestion. Mace to me is like a stupid Westerosi version of Harry Strickland so JonCon will mind roast him in his chapters. Can’t wait and hold fast for the Mannis till then.

Cersei keeps digging herself to her own graveyard. As Westeros collapses and the north is too busy dealing with the threat of the others. Dany is going to be in a fight with (F) aegon

Tbhh. I really want to see Jon and Aegon Duke it out. If it is revealed that R+L = J is true. I want to see the reactions of people when they realized they have been fighting for a blackfyre usurper. (F-aegon is totally a Blackfyreeeee)

I don't see Margery being found innocent. I can see Mace expecting Cersei (or whomever is in charge of House Lannister at this point) to deliver an innocent verdict but the High Sparrow refusing to be swayed and that causes the Tyrells to join with (F)Aegon

I doubt Mace Tyrell will switch sides. I'd much rather see it like Rowan and Tarly declare for Aegon openly and the latter seizes the capital with portion of army he leads so Mace's force has to surrender and perhaps give Mace as a prisoner to Aegon or kill him. However, I like to think the battle will happen. Elephants :P

Evetbody loves Stannis but we also definitely know there’s no chance of him winning in the end huh?

Your latest string of videos have been fantastic. I'm hoping we'll actually see the book in a year or two!

JonCon and Aegon’s men have said that they still have friends in the Reach. I know that a lot of people believe Randyll Tarly to be one of them. Tarly has to resent how Mace Tyrell has tried to take credit for his beating Robert at the Battle of Ashford. Plus the captured Florent home of Brightwater Keep has been given to Mace’s son Garland, despite Randyll’s wife being a Florent. Randyll has plenty of reasons to resent Mace Tyrell.

I actually think the Redwynes are gonna play a role and take High Garden from the Tyrells. They seem way too interested in the Tyrell cousin as if they’re baiting the Tyrell’s into fighting Griff and then rallying to the course and double crossing the Lannisters. Then I think they’ll nab Highgarden for one of the twins and the other will get The Arbour. Idk Preston Jacobs did a good theory on it, I had some suspicions that the Redwyne’s and that Myrish woman were Varys cronies though.

You should check out Joe Magician's theory on how Aegon took Storm's End too! He includes a whole part where Edric Storm gets legitimized

I have a feeling it will be a subversion of the Battle of Ashford. In that battle, Randyll Tarly was the aggressive one that made the victory. He is now on the small council. Mace will want to show he was the one responsible for the battle of Ashford. He then ends up like Napoleon the 3rd, captured and disgraced. I don't think it is gonna be an epic pitched battle, I think it is gonna be more like how Jamie got captured. His army then returns home or joins the golden company.

I think going for a pitch battle is certainly risky for Aegon's camp, but also necessary, if he lets himself be trapped in Storm End very few lords will be saw to support him besides maybe Dorne, their forces would be uncoorinated an therfore defeated easily. Ironacally he has to do what Robert did, win battles and move quickly rallying local support and try to capture KL. He needs to be seen like the Warrior King, just and succesful in battles, to rally the suppor of the lords and men of arms, like Robert or Daemon Blackfyre. Whether those battles will been shown in the book, that debatable, we will probably have glimpse like with Robb's campaigns.

Read up about the Battle of Zama. GRRM is a fan of history, wouldn't surprise me if those elephants the Golden Company has get used to break up Tyrell battle lines, especially if Mace's delays for Marg's trial allows the Dornish to come up and join forces with Connington's troops. I suspect the first Tyrell gets caught by surprise and defeated, at which point the 2nd Tyrell army comes south and that's the one that gets surprised by the presence of the Dornish army. Arianne has a thing for pretty boys and I don't see her resisting fAegon's looks.

Really enjoying how your channel gives fact-based analysis of the book content. I feel like a lot of theory channels are way too "this is just my personal opinion and its true because I say so"

Mace is going down. You nailed it. He is expecting another seige like when Stannis held SE. He will be not expecting or indeed be prepared for an outright attack and he will get routed.

I'm loving these asoiaf videos please keep it up

I am going to say I have two problem with Aegon being the fake dragon. If he is a Blackfyre, he is not a 'fake' dragon, he is a black dragon. Also the story of how Varys saved Aegon is repeated by Varys to a dying Kevan Lannister that Varys is about to finish off. Why lie to Kevan? He is a dead man and not going to tell anyone this story. Also a lot of people refer to Aegon as a liar but even if Varys is full of shit, Aegon most likely believes whole heartedly and since he was a child that he IS Aegon VI Targaryeon born of Rhaeghar and Ellia. He is the lie. Much like how Alleras Sand is the riddle.

I believe that Jon Connighton is going to use his own House sigil to deceive Stannis's troops into opening the gates of Storm's End. Using the Golden Company's sigil seems unlikely, since Stannis's supporters use the fiery heart of R'llhor on a bright yellow field. Connighton, after crushing the Rowan forces, could claim to Ser Gilbert Farring (Storm's End castellan) that he brings reinforcements from Griffin's Roost; since Storm's End is being besieged for nearly a year now, it's quite possible that Farring is not informed regarding the submission of Griffin's Roost to the Iron Throne. Now regarding the engagement between the Tyrell forces and the Golden Company; Storm's End is indeed a powerful fortress for the Golden Company to reside, but we know nothing about the castle's provisions. After a year long siege, I really doubt that Storm's End could host an army of 10,000 men, including cavalry (and maybe some elephants that survived the Shipbreaker Bay). Thus, if (f)Aegon wants to intercept the Tyrells he will have to confront them outside of the castle in one decisive battle; Storm's End can no longer stand another long siege, especially under these circumstances.

Has there been any word of Edric Storm? From what I remember, last we know he fled to Lys(?), and has been hiding since. Perhaps on their way to Westeros, Varys/Aegon found Edric and are going to use him to get Storm's End. If Courtnay Pentrose is anything to go by, Storms End is fiercely loyal to Edric.

Love the idea :) Here are my 2 cents: Margaery will die, one way or the other. With Kevan dead no one will stop Cersei from grasping power again and she will make sure Margaery is dead. Once this crow flies, Mace will end up trying to join forces with Aegon and will either be ousted from control by Mathis or by Randyll. Arianne will go over to Aegon, too. Euron will attack Oldtown and many will die, but i think he will sacrifice all the Ironborn that are still with him to gain something more. The High Tower will prevail, but at a heavy prize - maybe the city and the citadel will get destroyed but in the end, it will diminish Euron a lot. Loras will be interesting because when Dany arrives i guess he will still be alive and they will have a talk. Stannis will have his fight against the Boltons in the north, but will die one way or another. Jon will get resurected by Melisandre and gather his following and go south with all the ones who want to follow him. Sansa will marry Harrold in the Vale and influence him and Littlefinger to send the knights of the Vale to the north to oust the Boltons, who will get crushed by the Vale and Jon/Wildlings/Stark Loyalists (Manderlys).

I think if Stannis lives long enough, he would yield up his claim to Danny. He is only seeking his crown as it is his duty, after all.

I always had a strong suspicion that they never actually took storms end by the way they talked about it in the sample chapter it didn’t make sense for the golden company to meet the reach army in the field even if it was to just talk terms and make an agreement why not do that with the safety and leverage that storms end provide I think there is going to be trickery but I don’t think it’s happened yet and I think they’re gonna somehow use the reach army to take storms end without them realizing

Stannis the mannis Baratheon

Can’t wait to read TWOW by Brandon Sanderson.

I feel your spot on. Nice work

Dood your channel is a nice surprise for sure!

i love these kind of videos

If they don't fight, Mace dissolve the Tyrell-Lannister Alliance and wed beautiful Queen Margaery to Ageon VI so he can have some more legitimacy by marrying a Lord Paramount's daughter. Margaery is the only character I'm actually concerned about 🤣🤷🏾‍♂️

Jon Conington will burn Kings Landing when he hears the bells,he will go crazy,remembering the battle of the bells. Also John and Stannis might fight for the North. Blackfish will help him in some way with his 2000 men. Hell,maybe Stannis witnesses Lady Stonehart giving her life to resurect John and Melisandra makes him understand and they join forces,but knowing Stannis it will be tough. He probably dies fighting the others,i think he wins against the Boltons,and in his mind is Azor Ahai but still dies. Euron,God knows what he is going to do/become. I hope Barystan lives to see Westeros again. Rikon and Davos,and pregnant Jane westerling. So many things to piece together... I sure hope he hurries it up 😁

I’m gonna phrase this carefully so your video doesn’t get marked. Do you think that Jon Cons greyscale will be used as character motivation making him act more recklessly or do you think that the greyscale will spread into wider parts of Westeros? Do you think that this greyscale might be an abandoned plot line because of recent global events that impacted GRRM?

So there are things I like about this theory and there are things I don't like about it. So the idea that one of WoW's great battles will be won thru diplomacy rather than warefare or deception does fit rather well with GRRM's anti-war theme and it calls back to how the the Tyrell's swayed their alliegence during the war of the five kings rather niceley. And yeah, it would be a good way to save time & pages for George. My problem with the theory is that Margery Tyrell is Queen, married to King Tommen Baratheon and Mace Tyrell himself is hand. This makes the Tyrell's more powerful then they've ever been. Why would they throw that away and why would they throw that away for Aegon and the Golden Company? Sure, we the readers know that there's more to Aegon's invasion (Varys, friends in the Reach etc) but to most characters the invasion appears doomed to fail. Another theory I've read is that Randyll Tarly will backstabb Mace Tyrell on the battlefield. I'm not sure how much stock I put into that theory but it would be interesting considering that 1: Margery is in Randyll's custody and 2: There are two large Reach armies held up outside Kings Landing while the majority of the Lannister forces are opperating in the Riverlands. If they were on Aegon's side this would be the perfect opportunity to siege the capital.

Doesnt the Golden Company have War-Elephants? Would be a decisve advantage in a field battle (compared to being sieged where they would just be eating way too much)

The clusterfuk of betrayel death and random chance that tips the battle of steel is what I been waiting on since 2011

5:16 it‘s not a strange idea at all. You don’t let your enemy besiege you if you have a sizeable army of your own. People forget this, but castles under siege are meant to be defended by small, even tiny garrisons, not by a big army. It‘s not uncommon historically for castles to have been held by fewer than ten people, and that‘s exactly what they are designed for. You do not defend a castle with an entire army, because it would starve almost immediately while being in the castle severely limits your ability to safely escape or counterattack. If you have your own army at all (as Young Griff does) you either face the enemy in battle OR if that‘s too risky, you disengage and give your enemy the slip, to try to force an engagement on better terms or hope they won‘t chase you, or attack them somewhere else. In this situation, your castle is very useful as it can be held with a very small force while forcing the enemy to either commit to a costly attack or leave troops behind for a siege…or otherwise risk leaving an enemy strongpoint in their rear if they chase you. This is exactly how Robert made use of Storms End in the Rebellion: He wasn‘t able to beat Mace Tyrell, so instead he fled north to the Riverlands, where pretty much all his allies were. He left Stannis to hold the castle for him, and Mace takes the bait and lays siege with his whole army, and this essentially keeps him out of the fight for the rest of the war, as Stannis is able to hold the castle for an entire year. In fairness to Mace, he leaving Storm‘s End untaken is just asking for more of Robert‘s Bannermen to flock to Stannis and create a new army to wreak havoc in the loyalist camp; leaving a smaller force besieging Storm‘s End risks the same thing: a smaller force could easily be dislodged by some enterprising Stormlord with any levies he manages to raise. All this perfectly encapsulates the use of castles in both defense and offense. This is how you do it. If your enemy is on the offense, your castle will slow them down and make their lives as hard as possible. How you don‘t use your castle is trying to hide your entire army in it, because as I mentioned they would starve immediately. If you can reasonably face your enemy in the field, you usually should and this is what most combatants will usually do, especially if they have roughly even chances. Or you do what Robert did and play for time, seeking allies or better terms of battle.

My understanding is that Randall Tarly got Margery Tyrell sprung from the Sept of Baelor. He arrived with his army before Mace and negotiated the deal with the High Sparrow, it was Tarly who gave him guarantees that Margery would show up for her trial. Tarly and his force will remain behind and Mace will go out to confront the Golden Company. Not really sure how the death of Ser Kevan will fit in to this or who the blame for that is assigned to. My take is that if Tarly remains behind as acting Hand, he'd agree to using force against the Faith Militant. Mace will likely fight against the Golden Company if they try to meet him in the open field. Not sure what they can offer Mace that Mace doesn't already possess. It also depends on numbers, things like that. A battle, that Mace loses, seems like the most likely outcome but it's not definite.

I feel like Connington will be forced in some position to burn King’s Landing. My gut feeling in ruminating on The Battle of the Bells.

I don't see the Tyrell's joining Aegon unless Lannister defeat looks absolutely certain, especially not while Margaery is in Kings Landing and betrothed to Tommen. I do think it's very likely some Reach houses like the Redwynes and Merryweathers will go over,

I think jon will try to mimic tywin and destroy an entire town to win the war. That will backfire spectacularly

ALSO LOVEEEE Sor Jon Connington. What is the cure of Greyscale in the TV Show I´m forgot!

The Mummer's Dragon is definitely a Blackfyre descendent

Makes a lot of sense, given that Aegon needs to grow his power base in Westeros. It'll also make Cersei act more erratically and bloody-handed which might prompt Jaimie to valonqar her. Still hope Martin changed his mind about Dany going mad.

Great video! One small gripe Golden Company banners are plain gold. The standard of the company is a staff of the golden gilded skulls of the prior company commanders such as bitter steel. Small mistake but with big implications

I think Margary will be found guilty or somehow end up dead (similarly but better written than the show did) that would subvert the expectation that she's found innocent, otherwise Mace has no reason to defect to Aegon and instead everything to lose with Margary alive and married to Tommen. GRRM said that the coming battles in ASOIAF would be a Second Dance of the Dragons so Aegon needs to win over Mace Tyrell to lead to the Second Dance of the Dragons/Sixth Blackfyre Rebellion (for those who think Aegon is a fake.)

Mace Tyrell. Not to be confused with Mace Windu 😂

I agree, since the first time I read it I thought: the Tyrells will change sides. My full theory on Aegon Blackfyre in the sixth book: Myrcella Baratheon's ship is captured by the Golden Company; Myrcella is taken to Storm's End, marries Aegon and is declared Aegon's queen consort; Arianne Martell arrives and sees Aegon married and plots to kill Myrcella, succeeds but is discovered and does not marry Aegon (here I don't know what happens to Arianne, my bet is that she is forgiven and sent back to Dorne in exchange for Dorne's support for Aegon); Cersei blows up the sept with Margaery Tyrell inside; the Tyrells switch sides and support Aegon; Tommem kills himself; Tyrell/Blackfyre army marches into King's Landing, Cersei has her ''burn them all'' moment, Jaime Lannister kills Cersei; Aegon Blackfyre is declared King and Varys negotiates for him to marry Sansa Stark; LF and Sansa kill Hardyng and she returns to King's Landing and becomes Queen.

Sending Mace to take Storm's End again is a really strange idea.

Im not sure Mace would so easily flip to Aegon’s side. It’s conceivable and has a historical poetry to it, however it would leave Margery a hostage to the Lannisters back at Kings Landing. Mace a fool but not that foolish. Although Mace has the numerical advantage, I imagine his forces are predominantly green and Mace a poor battlefield commander. One GC soldier is likely worth 10 of Mace’s, and Aegon has excellent commanders on his side. Additionally, the Stormland’s terrain is excellent for creating choke points and funnels for Mace’s men. Hit and run tactics might also do the trick - more guile.

Stannis no longer uses the actual Baratheon banner, so not sure that idea about the GC taking SE works. Would Mace switch sides if his daughter is still in KL? One or more of his bannermen are more likely to switch sides.

Some feel that Edric Storm may play a part, as he did end up in Essos.

I think mace is gonna march to the baratheon keep. Light some fires in the fog, the two armies will walk around eachother then mace is gonna have storms end open the gates secure the ravens and let Jon con in. Then he will send a raven back that they've won the battle and expect a parade, march their army into kings landing and take the red keep. Left with practically nothing, the Lannisters will try to ally with stannis for anything so they don't end up the only ones fighting the blackfyres and it will be accepted at great cost to the Lannisters but cost stannis his life, part of me thinks it would be funny to have Jamie save Shereen from stannis's fire, a potentially interesting relationship because stannis might be uniquely able to understand Jamie's history of doing the dishonorable thing for the right reason. The vale is a wildcard and will end up playing both sides unless Sansa can usurp little finger and gain the support of the north and potentially Jon Targaryen. I think it's still believable that Jon stays a nights watchmen. Euron will successfully take oldtown and be a constant threat to kings landing. The river lands will remain devastated and up for grabs throughout the whole book potentially contested till long into winter. The iron bank maybe be assassinating people for the baratheon cause at some point which could be how our young arya gets involved with the story again. Maybe she kills doran and Jon con. Daenerys I think might accept the offer of boats to get the hell out once the blackfyres send their letters from kings landing, if she can maintain the city that long. The snub might hurt the relationship with dorne but I cannot imagine what their up to except that they might be the only ones with the ability to counter euron in oldtown, The prince being maybe a dreamer and their whole deceptive plot thing with a sand snake already in oldtown. If 10% of what I've said is right than I am going to be pleased as punch but I bet old germ has some twists that very few see coming up his sleeves.

Just a remark: the Redwyne fleet is larger than the Ironborn fleet, if not by numbers, then by tonnage and fighting power.

This makes a lot of sense.

If margery is considered innocent then cersei would probably be guilty now tyrell could possibly want to join up with aegon if margaery can marry again she could marry aegon i mean if im correct neither of her marrgies were consumated, which is a crime in it of itself if she looks as good as natalie dormer did in the show. However it would feat the major narrative like the warrior loosing his hand the rightful dying following rules etc. Like the beatufil girl that is married away to diffrent kings failing to make that marrige right and we got info from joncon that aegon is seriously considering marrige and what family he should marry to (unless im wrong and he is bethroed couse i havent read the books in a while)

i really hope that stannis gives up his claims to aegon or danny and just becomes what he always wanted, lord of storms end

Tbh Quentyn's arc isn't unexpected. The whole Dornish plot involves Doran Martell crafting stupid revenge plots and every single time Doran puts one of his plots into motion, one of his loved ones dies needlessly. This even happens with Arianne, she cooks up some stupid plot, then when she pursues that plot her lover Arys Oakheart dies and Myrcella is mutilated.

so, faegon gonna meet mace tyrel in battle? have u thought that maybe the way that Martin is gonna subvert people's expectations is by having mace tyrel beating and killing faegon in battle? think about it, one of the biggest victories of aegon the conqueror was the field of fire, where he beat a huge reach and westerlings army. faegon being a dumb fake, hoping to emulate his ancestor thinks he should do the same by beating another reach army, but fails. (I can only wish, martin needs to get the small stuff out of the way fast, if we might have a hope of him ever finishing the series)

I actually think that the Battle of Ice being Stannis vs Winterfell is a Red Herring. There is another conflict at its tipping point at a place that corresponds to ice more: Somehow nobody is thinking about this - The "Queensmen", the 2 factions of Nights Watch and Wildlings are all at one place at Wall..... and they ALL hate each other... and the ONLY guy who was keeping it together has fallen.... I expect the Hell to break loose... Besides, the Battle of Ice going down without Jon as the Battle of Fire is happening without Dany will be an interesting symetry for GRRM to consider

I don't think Mace will switch sides. He really has nothing to gain. The Reachmen basically control Kings Landing after Kevan gave them a bunch of council positions. Cersei just got freed but the Reach has been busy entrenching themselves into city positions. A Tyrell is Queen to an easy manipulated boy. All Mace has to do is defeat Aegon to gain a huge amount of clout, then return to Kings Landing where he can deal with Cersei(perhaps dismiss her and send her to the Westerlands). With the Lannister forces cleaning up the Riverlands, Cersei has almost no power while the Tyrells have their entire army.

Agree with everything except justifying Dany burning King's Landing, which won't happen

Maybe the battle of steel will be like the battle of Okehazama.

I’m confused, aren’t Blackfyre descendents still Targaryen

If Mace was to flip sides, he would definetely want to marry Margery to Aegon, but she's outside of his immediate reach. He does have a lot of influence on the small council, but Margery still could be used as a hostage. Aegon will have to choose between Arianne, Margery and Daenarys. And I think he will stick to Daenarys for now, even if marrying someone else would aid his immediate cause. Until she comes to Westeros and goes full mad queen on him.

Jon Con is likely to take a LOT OF THINGS by stealth.

Aegon's best bet is to link up with someone who has more forces than him and pray they believe him. not likely to be a long term plan that will work because hes exposed and is not being supported by rooted Houses so far. The Golden Company is going to be despised by most.

👍

LOL at the end - Dany isn't going to burn King's Landing. Aegon and Jon Connington were left out of the show. It's Connington that has the bells-associated trauma. He'll burn King's Landing.

Whenever George starts writing anything, HBO should quickly do a series that finishes before him. Everyone knows he won’t finish

Many of the exiled knights or their kin are from the Reach!

Can't wait to see what Preston Jacob's and the team comes up with!

I thought them taking Storm's End via subterfuge was a given.

I think Mace would die in this battle either falling from to the sea like he father or being betrayed by Randall Tarly who could be the friends in the reach the golden company was talking about he could ask Aegon to be given Highgarden by betroving his son Dickon to Margery… I feel like the Tyrells would back Dany maybe with a marriage between her and Wilas Tyrells a lot of time has been spent on him and how he is still unwed

Let’s go aegon Blackfyfe🔥🔥🔥!!!

I don't imagine Mace is going to go over to Aegon's side. His daughter is already married to the king.

Babies do look just like other babies. Or Winston Churchill.

Why do I feel like this is Carmine from Red Team Review pretending to be someone else…. lol

Bruh I was so confused because I thought you were saying “Aeron” as in Aeron Greyjoy but you were actually saying “Arianne”

They will meet him on the field because if they’re besieged there’s no one to come to lift it.

What happens Marg? If Tyrells switch the sides, how Marg can survive at the capital? Also Tommen stil is her husband, that means she is still queen. Why Tyrell give up from this? Yes, Aegon might offer himself but still Tommen thing is an obstacle.

Can’t wait to stains take the iron throne and some pepole have theroy about aegon is a blackfyre and a really want a blackfyre in the iron throne but an the same time a want stanis to role but we now after so many years of Robert rolling is the barrtheon cannot role

hm Stanys does not use the crown stag, but the flamming heart

Lol, turning up wearing yellow sounds fool-proof

They could have gotten a little more creative with those battle names

Not to be confused with the battle of feathers

Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says "furthermore"

Unless Marge and Loras are safely out of Lannister hands I don't see Mace switching sides. Wouldn't be surprised if some of his vassals have already secretly declared for fAegon though

Jon Con could have lied, maybe he never took the castle…

Bro you mentioned the Baratheon Golden Banner. Its true that the main branch uses that one HOWEVER, House Baratheon of Dragonstone uses the Burning heart sigil. Not the Golden one bro so that trick wont work. Well unless Edric shows up. Long live King Stannis. Seethe Aegon simps seethe BTW thoughts on Aegon heading west with a Golden Company, Dornish, Reach and Stormland army to save Oldtown from Euron before going to Kings Landing? Like he's gotta do something in order to earn the cloth dragon and cheers shit when he arrives in Kings Landing right? It also allows Sam and maybe Gerold Dayne (assuming he steals Dawn) to enter the main story again. Plus Aegon first defeating the lord of Iron Islands mirrors how his namesake first major fight was with Harren the black

Aegon was killed by the mountain. His half brother 'the son of lyanna stark' is impersinating him

Why didn't they call it the battle of Gold
