Hope they mention this more in the show, it is a big deal that Viserys rode Balerion and was his last rider, I think it tells much about Vyseris and his fate as well, the last glimpse of greatness before lesser targaryens and dragons took over.
Nice, Viserys really is an embodiment of when everything went down hill for Targaryens in Westeros.
Yep, very true. Balerion and Viserys l Targaryen were the last of an Era for House Targaryen. Dragons went into decline and the House hasn't been the same since.
Perhaps Dany, Aegon (Blackfyre?) and the Valeryon kid I heard that are in the Books can restore what's left of Old Valyria in Westeros, like Aegon and his homies did.
@@AnimeSlaps
Well, wouldn't say Viserys himself is that bad. A good man, king and father? Hard to be all 3, unfortunately. Not to mention his council isn't so solid with Otto there
When the king of the dragons died only queens were left and they tore each other and the realm because nobody kept them In-check, which was what happened in the dance. ☹️
@@thalmoragent9344 true
I like to think, because of Viserys temperament and attitude in the show, and since the show didn't show it and the histories of the books can't know, that Viserys had an actual, good bond with Balerion. That he understood he couldn't make the dragon do anything it didn't want to. That Balerions last ride was something the dragon itself wanted to do. To show Kings landing the power, beauty, dread, and wonder that was the largest dragon to ever live in Westeros. And he wanted to take him to Dragonstone the same way you'd take pap-pap out of the home and on a trip to their childhood home or somewhere important to them like that. I feel like it's kinda fun to imagine that Viserys saw Balerion more like his grandfather than a pet or weapon and that leads to his philosophy on dragons.
That makes the Dance of the Dragons so much more tragic.
There's also a symbolism in balerion dying just after being bonded with viserys. He was a symbol of targaryens reign.
Viserys rode him once and he died of cringe.
JK i love vizzy.
They could have done at least one scene with a young Viserys riding Balerion, encircling King's Landing thrice!
Agreed
I think part of it is, I think is that in the show vhagar is supposed to be the biggest dragon, so if they show balerion its gonna take some hype away from vhagar
@@gojo6742 God I can’t wait to see young Aemond tame Vhagar
Could see them doing a flashback when he’s dying. You could probably reuse Drogon’s model, but make it absolutely massive.
@@Rizz779 I can’t wait for the battle you know the one I mean so as not to spoil those who do not know but the battle with Aemond and Vhagar
Wish we could see the alive Balerion on the show. Absolute beast.
"They're not Beasts to me, they're my children. Now matter how big they get or how terrifying they are to others"
They still needed a budget
Hopefully we get a flashback at some point
I hope we get to see cannible.
Yes, a flashback would be great
GRRM knows how scary the unknown is; think of the what wounded Balerion, the doom of Valyria, the beasts and parasites and nameless horrors that could wound a dragon...
Yea. and not any dragon, the strongest dragon known to them.
Also what does it do to the rider who survives, after having almost touched Valyria through Balerions memories, all those memories of loss and heartache felt by all Balerions riders had nowhere to go but into Viserys
Cannibal was bigger than Balerion, it could be him who wounded Balerion.
@@aegonbreakspear9102 that was never confirmed stop spreading fals info
I wonder who he learned from…
What an incredible mystery. Balerion the Black Dread returning with *wounds* not even healed? That's a scary thought to think what was capable of doing so. I would theorize that Aera and Balerion actually flew into Sothoryos, something about the exotic horror of her parasites seems like it'd stem from unexplored terrain in the Ice and Fire world. Along with whatever unidentified beast that could compete with Balerion.
I agree, it’s even canon that there are wyburns in sothoros (dragon-like creatures)
@@angelaramirez1259 I think you mean wyvern but not sure 🤔
I think valeryan fire worms if they get real big.
Probably a wild dragon
I'm not familiar with the books, in a hypothetical world where George "finishes" the series, is he supposed to cover more of the Targaryen age and Valyria, or just wrap up what we saw in Game of Thrones
Nice video. Just imagine the beast that wounded Balerion. It must've been one hell of a fight.
just the idea of some sort of unknown monster out there that could wound a creature as massive & terrifying as balerion is one of those mysterious things about the world of asoiaf that I love
I think that in that year, Balerion anche the girl went to Sothoryos(which is a place south of essos mainly covered in Jungles), because there are wyverns ("dragon like creatures that don't breathe fire") there, alongside other monsters and dinosaur like creatures as well, plus maybe the girl died because of a parasite that came from that jungle
@@andreadadam4585 Thats a good theory. I think that Balerion went "home" to Old Valyria, though he found it in a much different state than the last time he was there. I believe there are dark things created by Old Valyrian blood mages that still lurk there, things that may have contributed to the doom itself.
HotD kinda puts into perspective how small Daenerys's dragons still were even by the end of the show. That's really cool to see because it brings to light the true power of the Targaryens at the height of their dynasty and what they actually lost by having the dragons go extinct.
I think it’s pretty probable that something unpleasant happened when Viserys rode Belerion and I really hope we get a flashback about that or at least him talking about it before he dies
I believe Viserys formed an extreme mental bond with Balerion and sensed how much pain he was in so he didn’t ride him after the one. He literally gained some of his memories and is how he can construct his model city. Basically like warging for the Starks.
@@bwpitlik1290 i believe the construction of his model city is moreso from his extensive interest in history and reading about valyria. i think it's a far cry to say he modelled an entire city from a 200 year old memory that is not even his own
i think the mental connection might've helped though, or maybe been what inspired him to build the model in the first place.
Brother he is dead , I assume u mean Viserys from house of dragons, The Viserys this guy is talking about is not the same guy. Atleast thats what I got from it.
Brah it’s the same guy
@@Hallo123123able Visaerys from HOTD indeed rode Balerion
Balerion burned the families of Hoare and Gardener. However, Aegon rose the families of Tully, Tyrell, Greyjoy and Baratheon from those ashes of the Conquest.
You forgot house Durrandon
@@parthn-musicforwork4789 House Baratheon took their words, House, seat, Sigil and last remaining blood.
@@parthn-musicforwork4789 The Durrandon was absorbed into the Baratheons after Orys Baratheon married the last surviving Durrandon princess to secure the Stormland. In fact, the famous Baratheons blue eyes came from the Durrandons.
The bigger the dragon, the more food it needs to consume. We saw how much bigger Drogon got compared to his siblings because he ran away from Dany. We also saw Drogon fly over old Valyria. I believe old Valyria is where some dragons feel the urge to go to once they desire more/bigger prey. It would make sense that with Aera being young and seeking adventure, combined with a fearless dragon bigger than every other dragon seeking bigger prey, that she would follow him wherever he wanted to go. They most likely went to old Valyria and it went horribly wrong; Balerion quite literally biting more than he could chew. People also seem to forget how hard it must actually be to ride in the back of a dragon. The bigger the dragon, the more uncomfortable and dangerous it would be. Imagine trying to hold on to the empire state building, now imagine that building is flying in the air like an airplane going 200 miles an hour; that's insanely difficult for any human like creature to do. Aera being as young and as inexperienced as she was probably struggled like crazy to hold on to her dragon, specially if Balerion was fighting something his own size or bigger. She most likely fell into the wrong thing and contracted something. We also have to remember Dany also got very skinny and ill while adventuring with Drogon at first. He didn't feed her and showed no concern for her because he was hurt himself. Aera not wanting to get hurt further probably never left Balerion's back and tried holding on until he finally went back to a safe place; that means starvation.
I always found the story of Aerea and Balerion most interesting.
wtf could have caused the injuries to Balerion? And what kind of goddamn parasite got hold of Aerea?
Martin loves his Lovecraftian references and the parasites being these horrifying unknown infectious entities certainly harkens to some of Lovecraft's creatures
That Balerion skull in the show should be much bigger
Maybe true, but honestly i have a hard time getting a measure of it when Viserys stands by its side. Balerion at the start of the conquest was said to swallow a mammoth whole, for me that skull was very much the size of a mammoth. On the other hand compare it to another dragon we saw, the Caraxes. Daemon can stand by its head and it doesnt dwarf him that much, when the skull of Balerion towers above everything
@@paulusillyriusiudathaddaio2530 theres no way that skull is mammoth size, maybe the very small mammoths that were smaller than current elephants i dont remember the name but not the mammoths most people picture when thinking about mammoths, also Balerion got bigger in the almost 100 years after the conquest, he didnt grow much after the first 50 years because of the dragon pit but he was definitely bigger so his skull should've been massive by the time of his death. The thing is tbh it doesnt even matter, G.R.R Martin made some things too big to be even realistic he himself admited to not be great with scale, and if you think about it a dragon the size of Balerion would require and absurd amount of food per day, and he wasnt the only dragon they needed to feed, so how realistically you even feed him and the rest with mediaeval infrastructure, even if we assume he just goes around eating by himself i dont think the lords would be happy about a dragon (multiple of them) permanently eating their livestock. Its fantasy at the end of the day and Balerion or even Vhagar scale is not realistic or practical at any level, i mean the Dragon Pit we are presented is no where even close to be big enough to host Balerion let alone Balerion and multiple dragons so yeah Martin makes some stuff like fortresses, castles and dragons too big but i still wished they made the skull more "accurate to the books" since its only a show piece and you dont need to make the whole dragon
@@santyagobustamante7369 i study veterinary and can imagine how huge the heart, the arteries, the lungs would have been to give this creature a chance to even breathe, it is completly unrealistic but fun nonetheless. When thinking about mammoths most likely people think about whooly mammoth, which was actualy the size of asian elephant. If you havent heard about Palaeoxodon Namadicus then check it out, it could have been the largest terrestrial mammal in history, absolutely massive.
Nah, that size is correct. People think he is huge but that is already huge. It's just a head and its like 5 times the head of Syrax or Caraxes.
@@paulusillyriusiudathaddaio2530 How did dinosaurs live so long then? xD I mean a creature like it could exist... the only different is that they would most likely be unable to fly, or to do so they would need to run super fast before flying, a bit like modern planes do today, in order to be able to take off.
Somebody on twitter thinks viserys knows how valyria looks (model city he's making) because balerion is giving him visions and because of that he didn't bond with other dragons
I speculate that balarion and Aerea went further east, past Valeria and fell victim to one of the creatures said to be a leviathan. Or a sea dragon and that’s where it got it’s scars. And maybe it had some sort of venom that infected aerea.
First, considering that leviathans are just massive whales (arguably akin to real-life blue whales), I find the notion that one inflicted Balerion's scars unlikely, to put it mildly.
Second, unless the venom somehow spawns nightmarish "worms with faces...snakes with hands", ranging in size from that of a finger to that of an arm, I don't think Aerea was infected with venom.
Finally, the creatures inside Aerea were beings of fire, so sea-related circumstances are not likely.
The fiery nature of the creatures and the question of where Balerion would go is what suggests Valyria. Balerion's scars, while certainly raising questions, are a secondary matter.
The flaming worms just sound too valerian and not just venom.
@@edwinsoto6932 Maybe deeper in the lands of Asshai
@@fgtrhwu2 Perfectly possible, as is even further northeast of Asshai (including in Eldritch Land, e.g. Carcosa and K'Dath).
I am not arguing that it must have been Valyria. My point about that is that what suggests Valyria are the two clues we have (fiery nature of the nightmarish creatures and where Balerion would go).
Mainly, my argument was against the OP's suggestion of venom and sea creatures, which don't correspond to the few clues we have (the fiery creatures are unlikely to be venom-spawned or related to sea creatures).
@@edwinsoto6932 I agree that it could be Valyria. Just suggesting another possibility since it's rumoured that dragon eggs come from the Shadowlands
It will always be impressive that Viserys bonded with Balerion, the biggest and deadliest of all dragons.
Thank you so much for your content! One of my favorite channels when it comes to GRRM‘s world. Hope there will be at least a movie about Aegon and his sisters conquest 🤗
Maegors death has been a curiosity for me.
I don't think its his age or the dragonpit that brought balerion close to death. Whatever he had to fight off in Valyria (including Firewyrms that got to his rider) to escape with Aerea must have done a real number on him.
Vicerys was never as brutal or heroic or ambitious as any of his family or predecessors, so he chose Balerion to be known as having done something great without having to hate. He never yearned to ride Balerion into battle or scorch his enemies, he just wanted to be able to say he rode a legend. So that he might become one
Here it gets interesting because i would interpret it different from the show Viseryses perspective. Then it is much more noble, riding Balerion the last vestige of old Valyria and that miniature in his room connect nicely.
i love house of the dragon and can't wait for the next episode
I wonder if the dragon-rider link between them could have affected Viserys in a bad way. There are moments in the books indicating that this link is more than just acceptance and obedience. I wonder if it may affect the phisiology and mind of the bonded. And Viserys was the only one to bond with a dying dragon. In the books he is described as being of frail health( taken into another level in the series), and not quite a strong willed person (in wich at least in the series we can all agree on at least one exception ). Could some of this be related to the dragonlink?
Yeah Balerion probably flew werever it wanted, like how dany couldnt control drogon during that one period. It probably went back to Valyria, faught god knows what but something that damaged it, and made it leave. Now think about that, that right there says a good amount. In reality it would of probably went to valyria and did what it wanted and killed what i wanted, but something obviously put massive fear in both of them, Balerion had a 9 foot open gash across its chest the biggest maestors ever saw on him ever, and scars elsewhere, while she was a mess. So whatever her and Balerion, who isnt one to run from i imagine anything, ran into must of been pretty intense, theorys, theres most likely some or was unknown dragons there still surviving, Balerion most likely faught one of these, while the princess who knows. But Balerions wounds are kind of interesting, what could of put a 9 foot gash across the Black dread and caused it to flee? Or maybe Balerion killed it, eitherway nobody knows.
I think the dragon explination is the most logical...and boring. Like sure it makes sense but it's unimaginative. They say the ruins are haunted by demons, whatever those may be, so it leaves room for the imagination
Balrogs mate
@@bloodangel19 Fire Wrym they live in Valyria and they are Massive and can Breath fire and untameable beast even by Dragonlords.
@@mikered1974 Valyrians were also fond of experiments...god knows what unspeakeble horror was released in the aftermath of the doom?
@@ayobamikelvin967 Shadow and flame
there is a key to this story in that journey Balerion took the young princess on. there is no way of knowing where they went however we do know she survived for a time and must have found refuge somewhere. but dragons are targets and huge ones at that. I wonder what the explanation is.....
Ive always wondered, do these dragons have a natural urge to go to Valyria, like a genetic memory, or is it a remnant of some Valyrian magic ?
Genetic Memory, although that makes less sense if you believe the theory that dragons are Chimera
He was the only living dragon that saw Valyria. Other dragons went to Dragonstone when riderless.
Worse still, what if they’re answering a siren call only they can hear. Even drogon fled at the end of got. To Valyria?
@@literally_leo drogon fleeing is David and dans idea and I very much doubt they did much thinking
They probably go where they were born.
Givin how much knowledge was lost during the doom of Valyria it makes one wonder if Balerion really was the largest and most powerful Dragon ever in the world of Ice and Fire or if there were bigger more powerful Dragons in Valyria before the Doom.
There are dragon skeletons that dwarf Balerion in various places in world.
The Cannibal is said to be even bigger and older than Balerion
thats a certain thing
@@gherve222 Thats interesting but I'm not sure if fire and blood mentions that.
He definitely wasn't. Because if he was, then the Targaryens would've surely been one of the most powerful families in Valyria which they were not.
Great video
No spoilers for future episodes for those who haven't read the books. Thanks
Like everyone else I would love to see Balerion on screen but I think it's better if we don't. No matter how good the CGI is, it's never going to match our imagination.
Marvels avengers, Deadpool and Venom would like a word with you
im glad i found this channel. your content has integrity, it fills in a lot of knowledge gaps and it keeps me interested even as someone who never read the books.
You have a fantastic voice and would love for you to do longer videos. I listen to your videos when I’m winding down for the day as you speak with passion but not “omfg let’s scream excitement in the video” passion. I hope I made sense.
You have a way of words and structuring your videos along with tone and tempo to really pull in your viewers. Please consider longer videos.
Subscribed - and will remain so even if you don’t want to do longer videos lol
didn't they say in the show that the dragon pit was too small for vhagar?
how did it fit balerion who was even bigger?
It is bigger in the books, where both Balerion and Vhagar reside there.
Indeed, Maegor explicitly envisioned a "lair worthy of Balerion, Vhagar, and their get" when he commanded its construction.
Jon Snow outlived Rhaegal, but I don't think that is relevant since Danny kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet.
Can we really call Aerea a master of Balerion ? Like Barth said it's most likely that she was an unwilling participant
Of course we can. She rode him all the way to Valyria and back!! Who else rode half way around the know world and back on a dragon? Shes a certified Balerion rider in my book.
@@joshuaadams6565 Alright, i just assumed that usually when whe said riders we went people in control of their mount but that's fine by me
She took him willingly actually, but due to her adventurous nature and Balerion's will to go back to his roots it went in an unexpected turn. They just flew to Valyria and it ended in tragedy. Otherwise, she will have just be a normal rider to him.
A perfect scene where they could've shown Balerion was when Viserys was contemplating his life with Lord Strong, thinking about his legacy. As he was falling asleep they could've showed him having a dream of him riding Balerion when he was a kid. They missed the perfect chance to show him. Hopefully we do get a flashback at some point, maybe even in future seasons. Or maybe when Viserys finally dies they could show a flashback.
That would have been awesome. But probably cost lots of money
@@spoon2537 If only they got RoP budget lol
Your channel is so under rated
Knowing how big it is King Viserys as a Valyria fanboy, picking Balerion as his dragon was not that weird at all, since Balerion was the last living being that was part of Valyria and once bathed in her glory.
I meant to say that the Dragon has experienced living in the old Kingdom. He's super old.
I know Viserys fascination with Valyria it's a show thing only, but I like to think Viserys chose to ride Balerion because of it. Balerios it's literally the last living memory of the empire
What if “The Doom of Valeria” wasn’t just a massive volcano but was also or only a dragon larger than anything the Valerians could control. It would explain Balerions wounds when he returned from Valeria. Then again he could have been wounded by any sort of magical beasts that presumably exist there still.
I believe the Valyrian mages were creating a new creature, more destructive than a dragon, something like a massive magma wyrm- but found these creatures uncontrollable & mindless, with the doom resulting as a consequence of them disturbing the volcanos.
Holy shit the story about the stuff crawling under her skin was insane
Im always sad about house Gardner getting wiped out since they were one of the og first people houses and Garth the Greenhand the founder was cool asf basically a druid that made highgarden into the plant filled paradise it is
I think in the show the illness that grabs viserys is the fault of balerion..the princess that rode balerion to old valeriya had things inside her mabe viserys caught some thing in the one time he rode balerion..that would be a cool way to expand the lore..
Love the vids man keep it up🙏
I really like Viserys character, its a pitty he is considered weak.
Those who know nothing about ruling a kingdom would think so! However, maintain stability in the kingdom without the threat of chopping heads makes a pretty good ruler. He had some mistakes he is only human
Yessss I love all this new HOTD content. Now explain why the Walkers didn’t use the horn of winter to break the wall. I mean if Danny never showed the Night King would of never turned the dragon… what was the walkers original plans?! 😂😂
The red worm, is probably my second maybe first, drogon is another baby Belarion type dragon species.
They really should bring this up more in the show rather than portray him as an "I'm too old for this" kinda king.
Balerion the Dread is literally thé dragon, and he bonded with it, claimed and was it's last rider before the dragon died of old age.
Can you imagine how BIG the dragons would have gotten if there were never a Dragon Pit?!? #kingmagordidnothingwrong
Balarion at the end was to big to fly to big to land just to big. 😂
I really wish we could see what happened to Aerea Targaryen. The firewyrm parasites and how she got them.
Balerion was 200 years old when Viserys rode him, he already became fat and old and only capable to fly from kings landing to dragonstone before she gets tired which is 100s of miles btw while healthy dragon can fly like from USA to Russia and back
I'm confused. How is vhagar(in the hotd) too big for the dragon pit? In the books, atleast, balerion could fit at his massive size. Vhagar almost as big, not the same size or bigger, so how is she too big if balerion could fit? Am I missing something, did the they say something about this or is it a plot hole?
Just a show fail. Maegor in the books specifically made the Dragon Pit massive a home for Balerion. In the books the two were both in there.
Balerion did live for a very long time
Imagine being the dragon from aegon the conqueror and maegor the cruel hearing your now rider is one of the most wimp kings out there i would had died too.
I disagree. Meagor was the rightful heir . Even in polygamy. The eldest child of the first wife inherited even if he was younger. Unless he is attained for treason. Or dis inherited. The father may prefer one over the other but rightfully. Meagor was the heir. Visenya was the First wife and queen. Her eldest son takes precedence.
That may be the case, but I don’t think we ever see that rule applied in asoiaf, whereas Aegon starting the precedent of kings choosing their heirs by him choosing Aenys makes more sense based on the text
First of all, what laws of succession are you referring to? Which culture? Or are you arguing that the law you're referring to is universal? Unless you're talking about in-universe, in Westeros, in which case...
Secondly, in Westeros, the succession is based on the monarch, so it is irrelevant which wife gave birth to the firstborn (at least as long as both are considered legal and legitimate); the latter is the monarch's firstborn and thus his heir. Indeed, there is no indication that Aenys's status as Aegon's heir was ever questioned. The only question about Maegor's claim to succession was whether he took precedence over his older brother's daughter. In fact, it is explicitly stated that "it seemed beyond question that Aegon would follow his father, Aenys, just as Aenys would follow Aegon." Maegor was never considered the rightful heir.
I don't remember any mention of a Westerosi law or tradition that establishes that it is not the lord's legitimate firstborn who inherits, but his first son by his first wife.
Thirdly, there is no indication that Visenya had primacy over Rhaenys to merit calling her "First wife and queen" (assuming the capital "F" implies a superior position to other wives). Everything we know about Aegon I's reign suggests his wives were equals, their legal power (and title of Queen) lied solely in that they were the monarch's consorts. Which consort married him first doesn't appear to have been relevant.
Visenya was older than rhaenys but they were both equal in stature, there's no indication that visenya was held in higher regard at all even if she was the first wife. Therefore, aenys is definitely the rightful heir
Viserys's cannot rule the kingdom, when he bonded with a dragon that large and later the dragon die, his confident die, his life purpose die. Just like when your dragon die, a part of your soul left your body.
I get a migratory feel from the dragons actions. Maybe a internal yearning to return home aided by other factors.
I hope in the books we find The Cannibal still living. and Dany can't ever tame it. but Bran can control it👀
i like how people see Viserys as week but he rode Balerion. I'm sure he wasn't actually week, just misunderstood
yeah...
He was weak.
@@kauswekazilimani3736 no
Viserys rode Balerion one time and decided it was a bad idea. I hope we see more of this.
Sadly I doubt we will. Viserys had a chance to tell Rany that Meleys was his mother's dragon. Viserys rode Meleys at 9 days old. But NOPE.
Viserys, the nicest guy ever rode the biggest dragon. He straddled a nuke and noped right the fuck out. Dude could have made a lap and planted a flag. But instead he noped. He noped so hard his kids could feel it.
Not true, the conquest was less then successful as Aegon failed to eradicate the faith of the seven or break it to its will. This allowed the faith a reprieve and make them casue problems for the royal family in later years. He even accepted the crown they offered in oldtown when their defeat was all but assured. This gave them legitmecy that it did not deserve and also burdened the dragon lords to "protect" the faith when they should all be stamping it out in the first place.
Note that the Valyrian freedhold allowed different faiths to flourish under their rule but i am sure its due to the fact that the dragon lords retain some measure on control of these religions and they do not allow them to take up arms, keep a standing military force or use violence to spread their religion.
Does GRRM ever mention the faith of Aegon & his sisters? I don't see why they would even want to eliminate the seven; that's an easy way to turn every noble & commoner against them. Much worst decision than co-opting the faith...
@@Audentior_Ito Yeah, keeping the Faith of the Seven was the more pragmatic decision, even if the Targaryens didn't buy into the faith at first, trying to suppress it when they had just taken control would have led to a never-ending war with 6 of the 7 kingdoms, and while yes the Targaryens had dragons, they still relied upon people for taxes, food, and all the other stuff neccessary to support their realm.
Viserys knew what it meant when a dragon dies - all the power gone. They brought the glory and doom of the targaryen name
my bet is balerion fought an ancient bigger mutated dragon from one of the greater houses
i think it was the cannibal wild dragon who did this he was already bigger than balerion due to him being wild and balerion being locked for 40 years in the keep…
cannibal was most certainly not bigger than balerion. Balerion was the biggest known dragon ever, wild or not, and by some margin.
House Hoare

Dude mad content but maybe not not so close to microphone sounds you are making love to microphone keep up the content 🙃
Whatever wounded Balerion must be huge. Maybe last known giant from Essos. Those guys were huge.
i wonder what was able to hurt balerion
demons
Hollywood please make a movie about Aegon Tagaryen's conquest of the 7 kingdoms. We want to see the power of the dragon Balerion.
Maybe balerion went to valaria made three eggs then came back. No wonder drogon looks like balerion.
I wanna see a flashback scene in season 2 of Viserys last ride on Balerion !
Great video, really informative.
auto save project had me scrolling back thinking i had some virus XD
Balerion was and will always be a son of Valyria just like his true master Aegon the 1st. Him dying with Viserys as his final rider really declared the end of the Targaryens greatness.
oooooohhhhh......I just found a plot hole!!
if Vhagar is so big that she cannot fit in the dragonpit and must dig her own lair off Driftmark.......then how tf was Balerion able to be housed within the dragonpit for Viserys to claim and ride 3 times around King's Landing?????? whoops!!
That's a show only change.
Both Balerion and Vhagar did fit inside the dragonpit.
@@siran424 Then explain Laena Velarion's line while talking with King Viserys......IN THE SHOW:

I imagined Balerion’s head to be like three soccer fields long
Hate to point out a mistake but I think balerion was the black dread… not drean…
I'd love an open world Game of Thrones Game
Balerion died of captivity not of old age, obviously!
Was hoping we would finally see him on screen sad how he finally died even for being a dragon but like picture All the stuff he knew
8:10 awful thought but could they be inbred mutant dragons, yes im implying that.... super dark but interesting
I just want to see balerion on the screen plllleaaaaaseeee…. I just need to see the giant dragon … please .. even just in a flash back.. idc.. god i just need to see him
Sooo anyone else thinking the dragon got Maegor’s daughter pregnant?
How is that even possible 😂
@@el_kenani we shall leave that to the r34 artists to decide
I’d like to think there definitely were other wild dragons out in the world. I’m not buying the fact Danny’s eggs were that old when she got them. The world is much bigger than the 7 kingdoms and the lands across the narrow sea. Somewhere in this unnamed world there are hundreds of dragons.
THank you for this video. !!
I don’t know if I’d call Aerea a master of Balerion…. He took her for a ride and she was powerless against the strong willed beast. He never would have taken Aegon, Maegor or Viserys somewhere against their will.
I think he loved valyria so he chose dragon who saw valyria
I don't think we should see the TV-series as indicative of the story. It's about as good as GoT and is about as reliable.
Balerion went to the dark continent
Did viserys got sick because of balerion???? Maybe hein got the sickeness aera had from balerion
was balerion one of the younger dragons at the time when valyria was still around and when the targaryens moved to westeros ?
if i remember it correctly Balerion is the only hatched dragon when they migrate to Dragonstone, with other 2 unhatched dragon; Vhagar and Meraxes
11-12 years before the doom of Valyria, the Targaryens moved from Valyria to DragonStone with 5 dragons. The youngest of these 5 was Balerion. Years later, the other older dragons died and Balerion was the last living creature to have seen Valyria before its doom.
I hope I have answered your question.
@@nolimits4942 So would it be possible then for one of those other 4 dragons to even be bigger than balerion
you read off the wiki page
I want to see Balerion fly, I want to see Aegon and his sister wife's conquer Westeros.
When they noticed that the dragons stopped growing in that pit they should of acted, maybe when you bonded with the dragon you were assigned land to build a keep and a nest for that dragon and let them roam if one ate livestock they could do compensation for the the owner, if a child or human was killed for no reason the dragon could be punished if it done it again they could then put it dwn. Letting them waste away like that was crueller dragons gotta dragon 😂
why does it sound like this guy is recording half sentences and cutting them together lol?
They should do a animé of ths
We know! Next!
Could it have been the dragon The Cannibal that fought with Balerion?
Pretty lame that we don't get to see Balerion.
Here's hoping The Cannibal makes an appearance (if you didnt know, this dragon was a lot bigger than Balerion).
