GRRM on Dragons in The Winds of Winter

Hello everyone! Today I'm discussing some of George R. R. Martin's recent comments about dragons in the future of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Thank you all for watching! I'll be back with more theories next week! Art in the thumbnail is from Rise of the Dragon! Character art in this video is by TheMico!

Viserion is the best baby I have to agree. I love the passage where he sits on Dany’s shoulder and she’s like ‘no no you’re too big now’ and he’s just like ‘nah ima do it anyway’ and she laughs and she sits with him ❤️

That was also the moment I knew he would be the first to die..George likes to hurt us in that way; but it’s such a cute scene

Me reading a Jon chapter in winds of winter only to realize it's Jon Connington😢😭

[WatchingCrow]

15:06 that would be especially funny because it would mean that Victarion survived multiple attempts by the author to take him out, and proceeded to steal a dragon using the authors own gardener writing style against him, while being dumb as a stump

Next vid: The Winds of Winter is coming for GRRM

I just want to say thank you Quinn The GM for saving the ASOIAF YouTube in these hard and dry days.

I can say the same for World Of Westeros who is also posting content almost on a daily basis.

You guys are heroes!! ❤

"Bonus point for killing Quentyn" i cant😭😂☠️

It would be neat if Jon could bond with Rhaegal while still having Ghost because if he is the literal Song of Ice and Fire then it could show how powerfull he is by being able to possess both First Man warging abilities and Valyrian dragon bonding. Literally nobody else is able to do this, even Varamyr Six Skins who can control multiple animals at once, most likely could not warg a dragon whether or not it already had a rider.

Victarion is Hugh the Hammer reborn, it is known

Thank you for keeping the discussion on this series alive. It means a lot to me. Have a good day sir

[taylorgander]

The quote about "we would have dragons all over the realm and every noble house would have a few" seems to be major evidence for the "anyone can tame a dragon" theory, and I haven't seen it talked about at all. If nomadic dragons would mean more people have them, doesn't that put a massive hole in the idea that the "blood of the dragon" is necessary to control them?

[conradmurraytv]

I never considered that Ghost might die and be replaced by Rhaegal, we cannot afford to let george do this

[janwel]

Next video: GRRM anounces that he has split the book and now it will be The Drizzles of Autumn and then the Winds of Winter. Coming soon! 🤘

8:58 The Dany riding Jon joke literally made me laugh out loud 😂, thanks Quinn.

[gerganakoleva]

It is very clear who will ride the white dragon. Tyrion knocks out the cyvashe board and catches the white dragon - a pointless scene, if not foreshadowing.

[drumpower]

Quinn I think in 2024 you managed to single handedly fill my heart with hope for Winds only for us all to have our hopes expertly dashed. I need you to bring more of this energy in 2025. Let's get absolutely stupid

[vanikestewart]

I know this sounds childish but I think I would burn everything if Ghost is kill. He is the best boy and deserve only the best

[durianthesleepy]

Hype acquired: All of Ned's mistakes soon

[RealRogalDorn]

“It will be revealed in TWoW.”

lol sure George.

[aabbccdd]

I'm about halfway through ADWD, when do the dragons dance?

[tyke]

I can’t believe you forgot Brown Ben Plumm (who has dragon blood) and Tyrion, who’s one of the main characters, is fascinated with dragons the entire the series and picks up a white dragon cyvasse piece at the end of Tyrion II, TWOW. Easy contender for Viserion.
