Would Drogon kill Jon if he confronts Dany?

 

If commanded then I would believe so.

 

If he saw it, yeah, but Drogon might be like a dog with a family member that never comes home if he doesn’t.

 

I don’t want anything bad to happen to Dany simply because I don’t want Drogon to be sad lol. I really don’t care what happens to Dany but I do care about Drogon.

 

Yeah I’m not sure. They haven’t really gone into their nature very much. I was just struck by how he seemed to be relishing what he was doing and taking his time compared to other kills. Of course that could just be because they wanted more suspense since it’s a bigger character and not anything deeper about Drogon.

 

This illustrators Instagram is...very interesting. Potential spoilers I suppose?

He has drawn up some scenes (some dating back from before S8 even aired and they were pretty spot on)

Even a drawing of Varys getting killed outside in a similar manner before E5 details were out or before it aired at all.

 

You’re too easily buying into Melisandre’s explanation of things. There isn’t fate or some god’s will determining everything. Not even the people who can occasionally do magic have any idea how it works.

If the whole series is basically the anti-LOTR (or at least the books bc the show’s arguably dumped it for the most part), then the point to be hammered in is that the fantasy trope of “[Character] has a destiny to fulfill” is just a way to make sense of the nonsensical chaos and horror that the characters live through

 

I just straight up bought the CDs for the first two lol...3rd one I bought on iTunes.

In the books it appears Jon was the unlikely hero all along. Without the internet hivemind to figure it out, 90% of the people reading would prob never peg Jon for future king.

 

I’m thinking iTunes is the way to go maybe. I got the trial for audible but I don’t understand, you have to pay for a membership and then still pay for the book? Makes no sense

 

Not gonna lie I was invested in seeing Daenerys take the throne. Her dragons and her men are the majority reasons that they won the Great War and then...fart noises. For such a smart guy they sure did make Jon a naive fool when it came to telling Sansa and Arya. Like come on chump


Also speaking of Arya...I always thought Gendry was wayyyy older than her so that sex scene made me wildly uncomfortable, even if she was older now than when they first met

 

Why didn’t I know who Benioff’s father was?! I need to go back to bed.

 

So, it’s possible Benioff thinks Daenerys was just making a tough decision when she destroyed the city with fire.

 

I don't want Jon on the throne, but I don't want Dany either. I do hope that they do get rid of the throne, and not have one single ruler. Sansa in the north, then who gives a shit about everywhere else.

 

I think now with the internet and obviously the show, it was easier to see Jon as one of the heroes, but when GRRM first started writing the books, the ones destined to rule/be the heroes seemed like Ned, and then Robb and Dany. I don't think it's until the 5th book where you start to get the sense that Jon seems pretty important because the dead are coming and otherwise why is this character still alive if he's not important? of course, in the last book, GRRM kills him...and if that book came out 20 years ago, I think most people would be like well there goes Jon, and you wouldn't have had everyone just assuming that Jon was going to be resurrected because he's too important to the story to die yet, like the internet already did by 2011. Point being: I think GRRM's plan the entire series was to build up Dany as this unstoppable force coming back to take what was taken from her family, but in the end the whole 'subversion of expectations' was going to be that actually Jon is the true heir and the true hero of the story. Unfortunately he didn't write fast enough to actually subvert expectations because the internet geekdom has been able to pool all their resources together and figure out all the clues about Jon.

 

I'm watching Too Big to Fail with my one econ class today and I can't remember if he's a character in the movie, so now I'm gonna be looking for him lol

 

I feel like if it ends with Jon still alive on the "Throne" this is going to be a decision he makes. Not one ruler for all seven kingdoms ... everyone can rule themselves in a democratic way. I can see that going down by the end.

 

I also keep forgetting in the books that we have this WHOLE OTHER possible heir who's already taken the Stormlands.

I truly have no idea where Young Griff's story goes.

 

There’s not enough retching Varys in the world for this.

 

Over / under it would take 100 years to rebuild Kings Landing

 

Not with Bran the Builder II around to tell us how to do it!

 

Not to mention his "real" name in the books is Aegon, the same as Jon. And he has the Golden Company. Speaking of Jon, he's also still technically dead, but I suspect Martin will resurrect him, too. Honestly, I'm going to be really disappointed if the books have the same ending as the show, given all of the other possibilities at play.

 

Just wanted to say that if Sansa isn’t on the throne by the end of Sunday I will also hate the show and think it’s bad, she is the only one who’d actually be a good ruler let’s be honest here

 

Griff could wind up being a decoy, like Ned or somebody set him up to believe he was Aegon in order to draw attention away from Jon.

 

I'm surprised to see someone say that Jon Snow is smart. He's been naive and oblivious to many things the entire series.

 

He literally knows nothing, it’s been his defining character trait since day one
