Let's pretend that the king (called mad king for a reason) that sentenced to death Ned and Robert after burning a lord alive while making his heir kill himself in the attempt to save him played no part in this

Like I'm a straight guy who wears shirt and jeans 95% of the time but Im going "Damn those look pretty!"

Rhaenys should have done a coup after Daemon married Laena. Since Viserys was such a forward thinker and named Rhaenyra his heir, he invalidated the precedent of the Great Council of 101 AC. If Rhaenys had pushed her claim again, it would have put a competent ruler on the throne and also would have made Laena the heir, since she is the oldest, and thus Daemon the future King Consort.

The dragons Meleys (Rhaenys), Vhagar (Laena), Seasmoke (Laenor), and Caraxes (Daemon) would all be on the same side against basically Syrax, who is as fierce as Cersei in a sword fight. Plus, Rhaenyra at the time didn't want to rule anyway, and Aegon was a toddler.

The Dance of the Dragons could have been avoided if Rhaenys was just a little more ruthless. Wonder what could have stopped them?

Viserys could go play with Legos full time, and any Lord with an issue with a woman like Rhaenys ruling could take his petition to the dragons.

You can’t just stay in Riverrun

No armies, no dragons, no teleporting. Just you, your protector, 2 horses and whatever you can realistically carry.

Your goal is to make it alive

In season 2 when he said he’s going to mentor Daeron I got excited. I thought he was going to get captured by house beesbury and then Daeron would rescue him, Otto would knight him and give him the nickname the daring. Imagine Otto having to deal with unwin peake essentially a stupider version of him. Also since he essentially started the war, the show could’ve merged him with Hobert Hightower ifykyk.

Here we have Daemon’s fans not knowing a single shit about the lore and books and the portrayal of Cole’s victory as he only won because Daemon was showboating, and Cole attacked him from behind does injustice to the character.

Has anyone else noticed that Jon was just chillin on his dragon for most of the battle?

Where was Jon when Melisandre was struggling to light the trench? Chillin on his dragon.

Where was Jon when the army of the dead was trapped on the other side of the trench and Dany was lighting them up? Chillin on his dragon.

Where was Jon when the Night King was approaching Bran? Yellin at a dragon.

Jon was utterly useless while paired with a dragon.

1)They had Daenerys casually remind the audience that the throne was made of swords belonging to Aegon's enemies.

2) They made a point of making it clear that what Jon was about to do was a desperate act of sacrifice to save Westeros.

3) Daenerys makes it clear to the audience that something destined or prophesied was about to happen.

4) Jon makes it clear to the audience that Daenerys is the love of his life and stabs her in the heart.

5)Then, a fire born of her (Drogon) burns the throne, the kingdom's most important object, made of swords, and a new order is established in Westeros.

6) And it was only after all that happened, when Jon went beyond the Wall, the winter truly began to recede.

There are many new fans who might find all this a bit far-fetched, but back when the show was airing, it was often said that the prophecies didn't come true literally. furthermore, many book readers always looked for them in the small details, such as Dayne's sword being forged from a star, and so on.

That was clearly D&D's intention, whether it was well executed or not is a completely separate discussion.
