'Fire cannot kill a dragon': can Dany be burned?

In Game of Thrones / ASOIAF, is Daenerys Targaryen invulnerable to fire? Spoiler: no, she's not.

This video contains major spoilers for Book 1 / Season 1, and minor spoilers for Books 2-5. Basically, you can watch this video without having anything major spoiled if you have read Book 1 or watched Season 1.

Welp, turns out the show is different to the books – in the show, Daenerys is immune to fire.

[SirDavothe]

It would seem the series creators didn't get the memo about the lack of fire immunity.

Targaryen Blood: + 2 to fire protection

Could you do a theory on how Podrick managed to have sex with 3 prostitutes and have them refuse to take his money?? Even if its only a joke video and really short? Please? This is the biggest GoT-Mystery for me.

I love all the people coming to this vid now acting as if they are making some kind of point about Dany's resistance to fire and completely ignoring that the show has no impact on the books.

Books ≠ Show
Books Dany is not immune to fire.
Show Dany is a goddess and is immune to fire.

Apparently Dany is a special angel since the latest episode literally just had her become 100 percent immune to any kind of burning, whereas other targaryens like Viserys burned easily

[michaelhenman]

There is another major problem with this theory, every Targaryen has been burned, since they burn their dead, unless they magically lose their fire resistance when they turn into corpses then that should be impossible.

It's good to see an increased upload in content! You're the best at explaining, analyzing, and concluding these theories and their plausibility!

[librasun]

wish the show follow this rule. It's a bit of a cheat to be able to get out of trouble with fire all the time.

I love your videos man, please keep them coming. Maybe a video about Varys? He just seems very mysterious and would love to know more about him. Thanks again.

[hoorayforfood]

Your videos are absolutely brilliant! I would love it if the next one could explain the Great North Conspiracy! Cheers from Argentina mate :)

[nickschulte]

Love the videos breaking down the different crazy fan theories. Are you planning on doing one for the bigger conspiracies, namely the Great Northern Conspiracy, the Grand Martell Conspiracy, and the Maester Conspiracy?

[purplegorilla]

Thank god you made this. Now everytime I have to hear "But...but...but... it can't be true because Jon burned his hand" I can just link to this video.

[Calebe_Sagaz]

Just remember: The Targaryen always die thinking they are immortal, unbreakable. The proud is their weakness.

[TJForceIX]

It's legitimately confusing how anyone could think that all Targaryens are immune to fire, even if they don't know about the historical ones and only know what they see in front of them watching the show, because Dany literally says the line about fire not killing a dragon over her brother's smoldering corpse.

[MercuryManProduction]

It blows my mind that anyone could still believe this theory. That the author has lied to them both in text and in person, just to try to trick them so he can have some big reveal moment for something that isnt even that important. Either way, great video as usual.

[tabarakiqbal]

Dude love your videos, they are so interesting keep up the good work and I keep on liking it.

[FLATOUT]

How many people are confused about what just happened and are now finding answers?

[GrotesquelyUnique]

Its also a huge slap in the face to all the dragons that died in the doom of valyria. “Fire cannot kill a dragon? I guess we missed the memo”
