  1. QUESTION. if the targaryans are to marry amongst themselves, how was the family supposed to approach the fact that dany had two brothers? Was there a good reason for rhaegar to marry elia? (was it to have Dorne come into Westeros when they didn't bend the knee prior?) wouldn't that eventually dirty the pool? break the wheel? would rhaegar's children then not be considered equal in a way?

  2. If all dragons were dead or she decides that she doesn't want iron throne then sit out from war 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

  3. Wtf why does no one say anything about the velaryons another house that survived the doom of old valyria they are inbred valyrians except they were constantly married to the Targaryens as they are both valyrians actually the heir to house velaryon pledged themselves to get this Stannis Baratheon I believe the heir was captured in the battle of black water bay but cercei in the books named them the hand of the king but then they betrayed her and fled to they're island the house velaryon has a very fascinating history you guys should make a video about them

  4. maybe the death of the men that dragons are named for foreshadow the fates of the dragons. I think rhaegal will be killed by the enemy, either cersei or the night king, like how rhaegar was killed by robe. I also think that drogon will kill veserion, but then later die of injuries, like how drogo killed Viserys. idk just a theory.

  5. "Half the Targaryens went mad, didn't they?" –Cersei

    Erm….no. At most, three kings went crazy, and one of them only really had the madness of too-intense religious fervor, and the worst he did was imprison his sisters to "protect" them from the desires of men. The only ones who had a vicious insanity that slaughtered people because they could were Maegor the Cruel and the Mad King. There are a few minor Targaryens that were a bit touched in the head, but most of them ended up doing more damage to themselves than anyone else, like Aerion Brightflame who was loony enough to drink wildfire, thinking it would make him a dragon.

    The rest of the destructive force of the Targaryens have been no more or less mad than any other noble family of Westeros. So really, the madness of the house has been exaggerated by other characters, both in the show and in the books.

  6. Centuries of incest havs made thsm prone to madness!!"..,,, no shit, Danny is lucky not to have 17 fingers, learning difficulties & usin a dragon as a guide dog lol all the famiky on famikg creep shut on the show… very few retards!!!

  7. I don't like Game of Thrones in the slightest but I fucking love watching videos on the psychology and symbolism behind it. I probably would watch a Supercut of only Targaryen scenes just because the house and its history aligns with my life in an insanely uncanny way.

  8. i like how dani wants to break the wheel of oppression that leads to class based disparity in wealth and privilege…..while being a queen and keeping a monarchy system. That's a big part of that wheel

  9. I don't believe the targaryens are bad asses. They were a lower class family back in their home land. If it wasn't for dragons, they'd be nowhere. So I don't believe it.
