[WorldOfWesteros]

Hello everyone in 2024 who found this video after A Son For A Son. I just want to apologies and add this is a very old video near 2 years old, i made it when i had less than 1000 subs. Since then my equipment has gotten better and i my voice over has gotten miles better. So please don't judge me to harshly. i am in the process of remaking a lot of my older content to bring it more in line with what i want my quality to be in 2024

[lonemotheo]

I find it ironic that after all the trouble that Alicent went through to have her children ascend to the throne she watched all of them die and her blood line extinguished right before her eyes

[illestboyyy]

We can all agree this is all Otto Hightower’s fault. The dude’s lust for power caused this.

You can almost feel bad for Aegon II. He watched his children and siblings die, had his body and dragon disfigured knowing that in the end, it was all for nothing his whole life being groomed to be a political piece for Otto and Alicents ambition for power.

[phousefilms]

It's weird, I always feel bad for Aegon II at the end of the story. He was even hopeful when told Aegon the Younger would let him take the black. If only his mother hadn't frightened him into trying to maim him instead...

[suburbansadboy]

I feel so bad for him. He was honestly a foolish child put into a horrible position by his mother and grandfather. His reaction to being offered the wall shows it.

[taycarroll]

At the end of the day nobody won the Dance of Dragons everyone lost especially House Targaryen who survived but at the cost of most their house and started the extinction of the dragons. Although Daenerys did hatched three eggs but it's only a tiny faction when the Targaryens was at their Apex of their power.

Aegon the First lived like Julius Caesar, with great conquest, while Aegon the Second died like Julius Caesar, betrayed by his own followers at a celebration with his guard down.

[MonishRavindran]

If there's one winner at the end of the dance, it has to be Daemon. His heir sits the iron throne, he lived his life to the fullest. Won almost every battle he fought and slayed Vhagar and her rider in his death.

[SamA-ccpj]

In the end it was Cregan Stark who set things after the poisoning of aegon ll. most of the perpetrators were either sent by Cregan to the wall or executed. Corlys was only spared when he offered Cregan a new wife. Cregan Stark was then appointef by Aegon lll to be the hand of the king. the 1st stark to hold such position. For 6 days, Cregan became the most powerful man in the kingdom calling it the Hour of the Wolf. but he resign and went back to the north.

[c.w.simpsonproductions]

Alicent’s thirst for revenge and bloodlust was the nail in her son’s coffin.

[undeade.t]

I love how pointless the dance of the dragons was because neither agon nor rhaenrya lived to survive the end of the war and neither saw lasting Raines on the throne as rhaenrya only rained for half a year and agon for two

[lyndsaybrown]

Sheesh...Rhaenera got more timid as the war went on, Alicent got more vicious.

[Nobody-sukm]

Sad to see how people miss interpreted Rhaenyra, she was forced into the war by the denial of her rightfull throne, then they murdered her son and Aegon threw a feast to celebrate it, even then Daemon was the one that collected the vengeance not her, as the war progressed she lost all of her sons into the war and then by the end got betrayed by her dragon riders and acused of killing her half sister (which she didn't), i don't think anyone in her position would've done anything different after all she went through. She wasn't at all evil in heart, Aegon on the other hand showed multiple displays of sociopathy.

[MrTaylorAries]

The dance started because of personality issues and a lack of clarity. Aegon conquered Westeros but never had succession issues because his lack of heirs beyond Maegor being his second child/backup king.

The dance also bred out the proper warrior in the family for a time and the tendency to be overbearing. The fact that the Targaryen’s did not remove the faith and did not maintain the power they needed to rule besides dragons just kills me. They had enough family members before the dance to fill their own small council and build a concrete line of succession of rulers over Dragonstone, the throne, Driftmark and Runestone.

There is no reason to fight as everyone could have had some sort of power based on their personal skill/preferences..the role of the hand would never have to be given to an outsider either thus keeping the crown all on the same agenda at all times. The Hightowers warped that vision by trying to assert someone specific to the throne knowing damn well that chair is a curse and a burden.

In an alternative fantasy universe the Targaryen’s rule without the dance keeps Westeros safe from the long night with ease. The dead would march South and run into flames, dragon glass and Valeryian steel

[jaieregilmore]

I’m starting to think the iron throne is curse and those seek it for themselves are doom like the one ring.

[comradecat]

im not going to lie making the Velaryons black actually makes it alot easier to distinguish the houses.

[titusdaniel]

honestly house of the dragon has the potential to surpass GoT

[presenceaboveall]

You got a smooth ass voice for narrating bro much respect

[thalmoragent]

A tragic end tbh. It's a shame how it ended, Rhaenyra burnt and eaten, Aegon II poisoned. Neither claimant outlived the Civil War that was fought over them. Aegon II would officially be seen as the Monarch that came after Viserys and not Rhaenyra but, a short reign regardless.
