This is what I luv about your channel you interact with your subscribers right after the vid is gone I know quite a lot of channels that write a random comment Or don't reply at all
But why did Maegor take the crown ? What excuse did he have to take it ? It’s not like Aegon was a bastard
Forget about Robert bartheon the biggest and greatest Targaryen kilers is the Targaryens themselves. They killed each other in droves Dance of the dragons and the history og who is the rightfull heir or the king ending whit some Targryen killing their or family. Bet it would have been more Targaryens around if they had not killed themselves
Maegor was Aegons only son. His "brother" was the son of a random wandering bard. So the Targ dynastie died with him. Very sad.
helping me come down off this season only 560 more days….
both aegon's sons were so unlike him. but very much like their moms. aenys was just like rhaenys and maegor has visenya written all over him. maegor may have been evil but he saved the targaryen dynasty from the weak ruling of his brother aenys.
Son of a gun! He resembles Henry the 8th lol
Sometimes a monster is simply a monster
NICE TOUCH USING BLACK SABBATH IRON MAN!!!
i love this channel — i'm upset i did not find it earlier
Aenys had too little of his father, Maegor too much.
heh, The Black Sabbath song works perfectly as an introduction for Maegor The Cruel=)
don't feel sorry for those faith militant bastardy. great video
black sabbath cool
Maegor has to be the most metal Targaryen of all time, awesome video!
The true dicks here are the Faith. Good King Maegor won his trial by seven, thus the Faith is contradicting it's own laws and rules.
this is the best ever!
I press like at the beginning of your videos everytime because I already know that it's going to be epically awesome.
So like if Gregor Clegane had a dragon.
I really like this intro
The "mad" nature of House Targaryen has been grossly exaggerated by fandom
& especially by the TV show, as have the brother sister unions – of
the 17 Targaryen kings, only 4 were born of a union of siblings. Only 3
Targaryens are ever really described as being "mad" – King Maegor,
Prince Aerion (son of Maekar) & of course King Aerys II.
Interestingly, no Targaryen female is ever mentioned as being "mad".
When madness does occur, it seems it has less to do with bad genetics
& more to do with the afflicted person actually taking on the
characteristics of a dragon, with obsession for power, violence &
fire.
Killa background music!! It fits perfectly. Your channel is going to be huge. Santa has came and went and I am doing a marathon on your videos. Great work🌞🌛
Iron Man…now thats how you open a video about a fictional character I don't know anything about.
Has anyone ever told you that you sound nearly identical to Rebecca Lowe? I'm not sure if she's on the air in England but she's the host of the BPL's coverage here in the US
King Maegor was a terrible and cruel tyrant. I do wonder, however, if he wasn't a necessary evil for the maintenance of Targaryen supremacy. Say what you want about him he did obliterate many threats and ushered a desire for peace that Jaeherys would use to build his Golden Age upon.
I am Ice Cream man!
Running over Fat Kids in my Van!
When I ring the bell!
All the little fat kids run like hell!
Nice Black Sabbath intro!!! Also, thanks for the videos – yours are so excellent! Peace!
I love your videos.Im a lore enthousiast and you ''feed'' me hahahaha…please keep up the good work
Luv ur stuff… narration, commentary, art work.. etc. But this intro music.. (Iron Man-BS).. Nailed it!!! tk u !!!
One of my favorite Dragons! Love the background music! Your videos just keep getting better
The book almost make it feel like world history. even though it's fictional
HBO should do a Targaryen Chronicles. maybe call it the rise of the Targaryen or the game of dragons.
This is a great series. I miss the character profiles though. I hope you aren't done with those. Thanks.
Another excellent performance m'dear. Looking forward to the rest of the Targaryen dynasty.
The sudden black sabbath has cemented this as by favorite channel
Maegor ''Badass motherf***'' Targaryen
Amazing video, thank you so much for this, i absolutely love the character of Maegor, hes probably my favorite Targaryen of all time when i think about it. I personally think he was a bit missunderstood 🙂
