I hate how Danny had a great conquering life, stepped up and made her name out of nothing, helped a shitload of people (the entire north is alive because of her) and in the 2 last episodes she got painted as the worst vilain ever. And that's how she is remembered now. This final season was a crime against such an colossal piece of art of story this could've been.
right i hates that too i mean the writers made her character against anything the character stood for but they dragged her into a corner she was like a time bomb that started with one of her dragons geting killed and then another dragon killied, her closes friends geting killed or betraying her when she told him that he should tell her when she did something bad. The thing that actually made her lose her mind and what the bomb let explode was the death of missandy. After that almost all the people that were there for her on her journey got killed and are dead only grey worm and thyrion remaining so she decided to explode and honestly it was satisfying to watch. Even though i dont support her in the decision that she made burning all the innocent people but thats what happened if you drag a powerful person into a corner where the only thing she could think of was bruning them all.
Actually if you watch it, carefully, Danny was killing people with no forgiveness, no mercy. She became a real bitch long before the final episodes. She slowly became the monster she was setting out to destroy.
@@johnslade7540 not really, she said it herself ( only stupid fake people conquer with “mercy and love” so fake) so she is merciless with her enemies but she ain’t spilling innocent people, but D&D and just like you, s t u p i d

It's still immencely funny how the moment Daenerys turned to the dark side of the force, she became this unstoppable force. But when she was still one of the good guys, she failed repeatedly. Classic!
Her once invulnerable tender trio suddenly down a pair and Danny 2nuts losing her mind was always bound to happen but it was all a big let down fuccing awful lazy writing. Girl power I suppose the boring ginge gets a throne and the dim half brother gets exiled after something something something whilst little sister sets sail for Lesbos or whatever the fucc.
The fact that danny was seen as a villain after All done and dusted and we got Sansa the dumbest stark in the north as queen . Is what makes the ending the worst …
Seasons 1-7: “Loose!” when releasing an arrow. Season 8: “Fire!” D&D: “We kinda forgot that saying ‘fire’ wouldn’t make sense in the context that arrows don’t shoot fire.”
NICTATOR The Chinese had an ancient weapon that fired fireworks and you can light arrows on fire. Probably have to throw something combustable at your enemies first or soak the fields before a battle commenced. Then you set it on fire with a lit arrow. How about a little fire Scarecrow?
"Well...Euron kind of forgot how to aim at dragons, but Drogon certainly hasn't forgot about them" -David Benioff, explaining the sudden nerfing of the Scorpions.
The special effects on this... Drogon is more real here than ever. How the speed is used, him turning, then diving his fire onto the ship and the man who killed his brother. I loved it when Drogon and Dany fight Jamie and Bron, but here, his determination of taking down these corrupt people was wonderful to watch. He had his vengeance. Dany was not finished. How this ended was such a waste of a truly wonderful storyline.
@@mustafa-cx2fg it's because Rhaegal and Viserion were locked up most of the time and have no battle experience at all, compared to Drogon. As far as I know every dragon has one rider anyway, so there was no way the other two could have become better than Drogon. Rhaegals death was devoid of logic anyway, so whatever. Thanks D&D for ruining this show and our precious dragons
i just hope that dragon will lay an egg and that Daenerys will be cured /returned to life with some magic will return to Westeros will burn down betrayer Tyrion, creepy Bran, stupid Sansa, betrayer John Snow and will rule over Westeros again. Oh yes John Snow should be cut into pieces. Longest death for Snow.
@@annle2515 Nothing wrong with Jon Snow. Some fan fiction has Jon marrying Dany and they reign as king and queen. I have seen Drogon as a hatchling climbing up Dany as a man climbs a tree.
Even though this season was a dissapointment, i do gotta admit that the Dragon scenes were pretty dope, probably the only thing that i wasn't dissapointed about. EDIT: Since some of you seem to be too stupid, I’ll leave it here, i liked the cinematic and sound effects, nothing to do with it being logical, hope this helps your empty heads.
@@MrLeovdmeeri have to agree. Game of Thrones is a perfect example that no budget, special effects, or excellent acting is enough to make good or decent tv drama. A tv drama be ruined by poor writing.

@@jimmie1142 Still not really believable. A fleet of ships would never be able to ambush anything in the air. Danny and her dragons should have been able to see them well before she entered their range.
At first I thought Dany was going to have a clever strategy to deal with the fleet without going out in the open, but she just rushes at them and gets away with it just because it's her and Drogon. Viserion and Rhaegal were really done dirty.
@@thegoldentb7596 Both caught by surprise by previously unknown weapons. It does underscore that if Dany had stuck with her original attack plan upon arriving in Westeros, with all 3 dragons, few Scorpions, she’d have been on the Iron Throne in no time in a much less pissed off frame of mind, probably accepting the city surrender. ‘The Law of Unintended Consequences’ writ large.
@@edbouhl3100 scorpions were not unknown. can 100% give you viserion, who fuckin knew the knight king would be chuckin spears like a scorpion with perfect aim, that shit came out of nowhere for her and the audience lol Rhaegal, dany had already had drogon hit by a scorpion by that point, stupid to not think they would be mass producing those fuckers after KNOWING that it could do some serious damage to one of the dragons, the only thing outside of the GOAT spear chuckin night king.
I love that Jamie mentioned her having 3 to Cersei after seeing Drogon at Highgarden. Yeah, she had 3, but she only needed one to destroy you. Still woulda been nice if Rhaegal hadn’t died so ridiculously just to try to even the show’s playing field,
It’s so unnecessary. If they wanted Rhaegal out of the picture for the King’s Landing fight they could have just had him stay with Jon at Winterfell. Jon is his rider after all and it would have made sense to have a dragon escort the Northern army into enemy territory all the way to King’s Landing
I never really minded that Rhaegal was felled by the scorpion, but the way it happened was really dumb, like, they *knew* that their enemy were in possession of weapons that could inflict damage on dragons and they still just trotted south without a care in the world. That is mostly the fault of the final seasons being such rush-jobs though. I think it would have been much more interesting if, after a more lengthy campaign both before and after the white walkers, the scorpions would become ever more present. At the Field of Fire 2.0 there was only one, they hit but it didn't kill. So next engagement they bring a few more, say something like 4-8. Daenerys knowing they exist succesfully spot them using Dothraki scouts and have her dragons evade them. At the truce meeting Cersei correctly figures that Daenerys lost a Dragon in the north (another dumb thing that she even brought both her remaining dragons, basically screaming "one of my dragons died, lol" but whatever). Anyway, Cersei figures that while Daenerys is busy in the north they can mass-produce the scorpion, make some sort of maneuver to lure the dragons into position and then kill Rhaegal through sheer overwhelming firepower. That sequence of events would at least feel deserved because a logical development had been allowed to progress in steps along with the story of their war.
Carnage would be even fun and faster...like 3 lawn mowers working back to back had there been three...cersei would have had petrified to death with her pis and pee trying to flee her body...hahaha
She pulled an Aegon and Balerion. Instead of it being night time and Harrenhal being destroyed. She used the sun to hide from her enemy Aegon used the moon to hide from his enemy both destroyed their intended target Aegon Harrenhal and Dany the iron fleet.
You can't really compare Drogon to Balerion. Drogon was a rather small dragon even compared to the dragons of the Targaryens (not to speak of Old Valerya, of which we have little information). Drogon was only a few years old at this point, while Balerion was almost a century.
She didn't use the sun just like Aegon didn't use the moon. In both cases they flew right above the enemy and plunged down to rain fire. If anything she used the cloud cover to get right above them. Any advantage she had with the sun was lost the moment Euron spotted her because it was too cloudy for the sunlight to matter. After getting right in their midst you could argue she used speed and movement to never let a scorpion get the right aim (but with how effective they'd been in the previous episodes, they should've managed to take at least one shot if the plot armor wasn't so thick lmao).
Daenerys could have done this from the first time Euron caught them off guard at Castley Rock and taken full control over the Euron's remaining fleet. But Nooo genius Tyrion suddenly forgot his own suggestion at Dragon's Bay and couldn't think of something so simple the 2nd time. First they had to lose at Castley rock, then have another Dragon killed and then wait for Missandei's death, for Daenerys to finally destroy the fleet with just one, just one Dragon.
@@stefanciocan1605 I agree. Although Season 7 the first Episode; Arya alone avenging her family by taking down the House of Freys, and Daenerys' arrival at Dragonstone was still good. But I don't mind agreeing to end the series at Season 6.
@@stefanciocan1605 At least you can admit it. The shit show started in season seven and the shit show writing started to rear its ugly head in season five.
bruh im no tactician and all i saw was a shadiversity video one time... but I could plan a better defense against the shambling dead... but to be honest I wouldn't have lost one of the dragons in a suicide mission when you could have just made pick go and either bite one or grab it then swoop out with amazingly three whole ass dragons and 0 causality
THANK YOU, YES!!! Dig ditches then use earth to create berms on your side of the ditch. Not only do they need to cross the ditch but then climb over the berm. The Romans were doing this kind of stuff, for crying out loud!
These were actually the right tactics to use. For one - scorpions on ships rocking in the waves should never have been so accurate, except by numbers. If you're on a dragon and you're going to fight that... what do you do? Take cover. Fly right out of the sun, right into the middle of them, moving fast and laterally. Don't give them a chance to aim. This was awesome not because the scorpions were nerfed more than they should've been, but because the tactics were right to fight them. I think the show got this part right.
As I remember from USAF doctrine back in the 1980, this was known as ‘the advantage of maneuver’. And a dragon is VERY maneuverable, especially once it and rider know to look for Scorpion bolts and dodge.
Well you think wrong! First of all she doesn’t even come out of the sun, it’s cloudy everywhere, so what’re you saying are the right tactics. Even if she did come out of the sun it wouldn’t be blinding to everyone.
My question is why didn’t Dany utilize Drogon’s black scales to camouflage into the darkness of the night so they couldn’t see him, a deadly fire breathing shadow like Toothless from how to train your dragon
@@manpq670 Really? Tell me, what's harder to see in the dark: dark, ungodly fast and soundless Spears shot at you, or you know, a large, fire breathing flying lizard?
The writing wasn't perfect but it was acceptable. Dany and Drogon both have experience with being shot at. Serves to reason, that they got better at avoiding them. Can you imagine how hard it would be for Dany to dodge them at night? At least during the day, she used the sun behind her to blind them.
To this day, i will never understand why D&D decided to kill off Rhaegal the previous episode rather than this one. Two dragons destroying the iron fleet and king’s landing defenses and one scorpion getting a lucky shot and killing Rhaegal, therefore making Daenerys go crazy, feels a lot more believable than what we got.
not gonna lie she didn’t even need to burn the iron fleet they were kinda pointless tbh cuz she coulda surrendered the city without destroying them, however I think she purposely prioritized them first out of justice for rhaegal
Yep, Jon could have been on Rhaegal and they are perched on the city wall, and the bells are ringing, the city is screaming for mercy, and one dumb Lannister looses a scorpion bolt hitting Rhaegal, Dany sees Rhaegal fall off the wall and fears Jon and Rhaegal are dead, and it's the final straw for her. She destroys King's Landing. Afterwards, she finds out Rhaegal was able to fall to the ground without crushing Jon, and Dany feels shame for her actions.
Ppl don’t realize how smart Dany was in this battle. She learned after both dragons were killed that they aren’t unbeatable and changed her entire approach. She started to swoop from the clouds and take advantage of her dragons speed. One of the best moves she could have ever done.
Yeah they also forgot the fact Euron's crew is 100% made up of fucking mutes that he cut the tongues out of, yet in this scene they're yelling and screaming and one even yelled "Fire!" (cause back then they were always "firing" weaponry 🤡).. They also forgot to include his signature-character defining-eye patch (which is literally his own Sigil as well) or his alleged dragon binding horn and his Valaryian Steel suit of ARMOR he both got from Valaryia, or all the different people he has tied up to the mast of his ship (Warlocks from Qarth/Maesters/Septons/even one of his brothers Aeron), or his incredibly badass brother Victarion-whose wife slept with Euron and got butchered by Victarion's axe resulting in Euron's EXILE......
@Destination Unknown 40,000 Dothraki screamers land on our shores. We hole up in our castles. A wise move, only a fool would meet the Dothraki on an open field. How long do the people stand behind their cowardly king hiding behind stone walls? When do they decide a Targaryen is the rightful monarch after all?
Damn imagine being assigned as a crossbow man for dragons, you know you’ll only get one shot, the second round would be a miracle and second later you’re in fire
Euron: So, I see in your resumé you have been an archer for years. What do you think of working now with a ballista from now on? Archer: bruh idk, if I ever fight a dragon I would get only 1, 2, or if Im rlly lucky, 3 shots at maximum, if I miss these 3 shots, Im dead... And dragons are the most difficult thing to kill in the whole world... idk, man Euron: well, you'll get a get a very good raise if you accept this job... Archer: I'm in!!!!
I hate that I have not much of my life left, but I am glad I lived long enough to see CGI capable of making such incredible scenes seem SO real. Just amazing!
There was no point in the Golden Company, it was stupid to build them up just to have them defeated in 12 seconds. In season 7 it's like the writers hinted that the Golden Company would turn on Cersei but instead they decided to subvert our expectations. They also planted seeds that Dany would end up pregnant last season it kept being brought up how she couldn't have children they made it seem like she would eventually but that too was to subvert expectations. Also in season 7 it kept being said how untrustworthy euron was only to have him completely devoted to Cersei which is against his nature but again it was to subvert our expectations.
They just went with maximum subversion and just ended up in perversion. Like the Night King and the army of the dead. First scene of the entire show white walkers. Huh subplot all series and then meh one episode should do say D & D. Idiots. Also why should a Stark always been in winterfell? I thought itd be great if basically Winterfell was very of being lost when Bran used the seer with the tree to discover and exit that enables them to fall back to the Reeds. From there they split half in a fighting retreat to the south the other to Dragonstone to get more glass. As the southern army arrives Cersei declares she won't help despite Jamies pleas. You finally see the light go up in his eyes and the light go her die (bs he was so besotted he couldn't see right, when he was already on redeem arc). The Golden company use that as the excuse to switch sides and you see them mfs slice through the dead like they are a birthday cake. Then the WW intervene and the tide turns again despite going toe to toe with incorrect weapons. Half the lannister army joins Jamie but still desperate stuff. The Night King even lands with Viserion into the damaged throne room from THAT fighting in a power move. When all seems lost the other half from dragon stone reappears with a pincer from Dorne on the other side WIth upgraded spear blades of dragon glass. Jon gets to fight the Night King but gets hit but all his lieutenants have been killed or are fighting. He goes to deliver the killing blow and is blocked by a shattering needle. By time he realises what just happened the valerian knife hits his chest and poof. Two to three episodes of carnage and it stretched as far as KL . Yes probably no budget but some ice spiders too. Oh and what does the horn do? Nobody knows. Waste of time.
This was extremely disappointing. For just so many reasons. The other dragon got ripped apart by these ballistae, and all of a sudden they're terrible. Coming from the Sun was cool, but the whole golden company buildup was just pointless. Many missed opportunities.
@@punkrockdavid exactly. Drogon spent his entire life free and unchained, living in the wild. He was more in tune to his senses than rhagel who had spent time locked up
I mean to be fair I don't know why they built up the golden company. Literally everytime a blackfyre came to westeros with the golden company at their back they were soundly crushed by the targaryens and this was at a point in history when all the dragons had long died out. They're a great mercenary company but no match for a full army of Westerosi knights.
She completely exploited the weakness of the ballistas during her offensive. She used a preemptive strike with the sun in her back to get into close distance with them, flying through their lines and picking them up one by one. They're slow to maneuver and hitting a target that's close to the ballistas and flying curves is nearly impossible, because greater angle of movement is needed to cover the same target. They weren't nerved, this time Dany just went on the offensive and had a good tactic instead of beeing taken by surprise like during the last encounter.
At least they showed the true power of dragons, Drogon was literally blowing up the ships with his flames. Would have been more awesome seeing all three of them, but they fucked it all up.
I never really understood how ballistas of all things were so accurate that they could take down a dragon. You would need massive volleys because I'm pretty sure a dragon is much more maneuverable compared to WW2 bombers facing entire anti aircraft batteries with flak. Must have been one helluva lucky shot when they took down the other dragon.
They were ambushed By the iron fleet because someone snitched, I don't really see any other reason How They were able to find the spot to ambush Daenerys&her fleet unless someone slipped them a map and directions
The biggest ballistas could hit a stationary target at 4000 feet but it was a parabolic shooting motion, not a straight one as shown in the serie. Also they were not that accurate, especially on a boat since there would still be some movement even with the anchor dropped. Anyway the show never did any research on war since they don't use trenches in front of castles and charge an undead army with light cavalry.
I adore watching a dragon, especially one as well-designed as Drogon, tear apart an armada of ships, but it annoys me so much when they inaccurately say ‘Fire’ after correctly saying ‘Loose’ throughout the entire rest of the series
As much as they fucked everything up these last few episodes, it was pretty great to see smug Cersei bragging about her fleet and her army only for them to get tore up in front of her so quickly.
This was such a beautiful scene for dany. I can feel her just wanting to kill all of them for the hurt she went thru..... she had loyal soldiers to defend her... she became the mad queen but can you blame her??..
Savings Danny in the fighting pit in Meereen, burning Jamie’s army, burning the fleets, saving Jon and his crew from White Walkers, fighting in the long night against undead Viserion, laying waste to Kings Landing. Drogon put in the most work in GoT and probably will remain the most iconic dragon.
if David and dan had any brains, she would have done that long before loosing Yara, Elaria, and later on, Rhaegal and Missandae. In fact, she would've helped Yara destroy Euron as soon as she had gotten to Westeros, because 1st, she promised, and 2nd, it would get one of the enemies out of the way and it would have secured the Iron islands and Dorne. I swear I wish I could turn bak time to rewrite season 7 and 8, with Dany taking kings landing first and then helping out in the north, and then ruling as the good and mighty queen. They legit made her put off taking the red keep for so long, that Euron and his bastards had time to build hundreds of scorpions (honestly, if she had attacked right away, she would not even need an army. her and her three dragons would have price sly destroyed Cersei's army in a heartbeat, no casualties on her side), not to mention her turning into a villain FOR NO REASON. In fact, Imagine Dany as the queen, Sansa as the warden of the north (I would have made them friends), Elaria, Brienne, Yara and Arya all sitting at one table. Just a bunch of badass women ruling Westeros.
Although this is a terribly written season (I will never forgive what they did to Rhaegal or Dany), it absolutely gave us some stunning scenes. It still makes me nervous watching this part, even thought I know Drogon makes it out okay! Speaking of Rhaegal, it annoys me how he and Jon clearly bonded together as dragon and dragonrider, but the show yet again ignored this. Jon didn't give a toss about Rhaegal dying despite saving the world together a couple of weeks before. Also wouldn't Rhaegal have stayed near Jon rather than keep to Dany's side? Anyway, yes cool scene.
This is one of the most ridiculous scenes. If only her and the dragon was that angry the night the white walkers attacked, they could have burned all the zombies before a spear could be thrown at them.
I like how the dragon hits the water in front of the boats before hitting the ships gets the water boiling 🥵 Also how intense the heat was that it would cut right threw everything like a sedaline torch!!!
Not that Season 8 isn't a dumpster fire... I gained a little more respect for this scene in rewatching it. Dany knows the direction her enemies expect for her approach. On a dragon, her first advantage is mobility. She chooses the direction of approach and comes at an angle where they have to completely re-aim. Notice that the first thing they have to do is turn the scorpions. That gives her the advantage of not facing an initial barrage... just a quick shot or two. From there, she can avoid with lateral movements and direct her fire power for suppression. When she turns her attention to the castle walls, she flies low and fast. It requires the scorpion crews to push their weapons to extremes for the low angle. It takes a moment to re-aim and that gives an initial advantage. As soon as they fire, she goes high. Now, she just has to get to them before they reload... and she does. After that, the castle is hers... all of the scorpions were aimed outward. Coming from the inside makes them easy prey.
Dragon is a big target, they only take 2-5 seconds to aim and fire and 70+ spears in her direction makes virtually no gap for drogon to squeeze through without getting hit. Attacking the Bay was just stupid at all, there would be no line of sight if she attacked kingslanding first, forcing eurons men to either leave or disembark.
@@francisbalfour1243 drogon may be a big target, but even with a setup like a ballista, those bolts have an insane drop off and on a costal city? Forget about it. The breeze would work against them on even the clearest, still day. Drogon moves at the speed of a small plane, he absolutely zips by, so trying to aim and hit a fast target moving erratically with limited maneuverability on your end would make it a statistical game that's not in your favor, even numerically. The show does little right this season, but establishing, at least now, that the Scorpion ballista has to to be manned by a full team and requires a crank to rotate is more than enough to sell how Dany beats them here. Rhaegal getting killed the way he did was a fluke, just absolute bullshit for the sake of drama, something game of thrones used to be so much better than
This is such a bs scene! Every freaking one of those ships has a Scorpion, but no one is firing. Did everyone go on lunch break at the same time, and no one invited Euron?
You are forgetting that Euron Greyjoy was a narcissist. Makes sense he would want to be the one to kill the dragon. Troops were surely sent ashore for the onset of the dothraki and the unsullied.
@@debbieverret4033 I'm sure troops were on shore, and they weren't firing the Scorpions either. No one was. Everyone was busy doing nothing like the plot device told them to.
To be fair drogon was the hardest of her dragons to take down remember when bronn was able to hit drogon with a ballistic arrow it barely did anything to him, while for her other dragons it went right though them, also drogon was stabbed several times by wights and still survived, so yeah not alot of things can kill him.

@@sumdopedude__22 Well they are dragons, beasts of destruction. It's like blaming a nuke for being extremely destructive.
Such a great point.
Remember when Drogon was as little as a cat? Killing the man in the House of the Undying. Now he's destroying a city. They grow up so fast. 😢
The other 2 dragons ain't shit compared to Drogon
@@mustafa-cx2fg it's because Rhaegal and Viserion were locked up most of the time and have no battle experience at all, compared to Drogon. As far as I know every dragon has one rider anyway, so there was no way the other two could have become better than Drogon.
Rhaegals death was devoid of logic anyway, so whatever. Thanks D&D for ruining this show and our precious dragons
i just hope that dragon will lay an egg and that Daenerys will be cured /returned to life with some magic will return to Westeros will burn down betrayer Tyrion, creepy Bran, stupid Sansa, betrayer John Snow and will rule over Westeros again. Oh yes John Snow should be cut into pieces. Longest death for Snow.
@@annle2515 Nothing wrong with Jon Snow. Some fan fiction has Jon marrying Dany and they reign as king and queen.
I have seen Drogon as a hatchling climbing up Dany as a man climbs a tree.

Even though this season was a dissapointment, i do gotta admit that the Dragon scenes were pretty dope, probably the only thing that i wasn't dissapointed about.
EDIT: Since some of you seem to be too stupid, I’ll leave it here, i liked the cinematic and sound effects, nothing to do with it being logical, hope this helps your empty heads.
The episode was filled with big flaws. After so many wonderfull seasons they fucked this one up .
@@MrLeovdmeeri have to agree. Game of Thrones is a perfect example that no budget, special effects, or excellent acting is enough to make good or decent tv drama. A tv drama be ruined by poor writing.

Patch note 8.7
-dragons have +99% in ballista evasion.
-iron fleet boats: have agility reduce and stealth in -80%.
-golden company : nerfed in all stats 99%.
-golden company: eliminated all elephants (not budget left)
-cersei character nerfed in intelligence and emotions in -90%.
-dothrakis duplication bug to be fixed
- Danny: +50 insanity
Cersei was never intelligent and the scorpions were slow as fuck.. they aren't going to hit anything that sees them coming
Actually the Dragons that were nerfed in the last patch, there's a reason for the Targaryens had united Westeros and for GRRM saying that Dragons are like nukes.
The Seasoning system in Westeros is shutdown, by the Serverowner. "Seasons will now based on locatins, like winter in Winterfell, and Summer in the south.
Fans “How did Euron kill Rhaegal?”
Producers “Dragons are no match for ballista!”
Fans “But then how did Daenarys beat the iron fleet?”
Producers “Ballista are no match for a dragon!”
Fans “Errr... what?”
Its really not that far fetched i mean look how big those ballistas are and the bolt its shooting is like 20ft long
They would never have a hope in hell to hit a moving target going that fast , those Could hardly hit stationary targets lol 😂
I mean when they killed rhaegal, it was an ambush and Danny didn’t see it coming and they were going like cruise speed so it was an easier target
@@jimmie1142 fucking sick writing there, that really explains it
@@jimmie1142 Still not really believable. A fleet of ships would never be able to ambush anything in the air. Danny and her dragons should have been able to see them well before she entered their range.
At first I thought Dany was going to have a clever strategy to deal with the fleet without going out in the open, but she just rushes at them and gets away with it just because it's her and Drogon. Viserion and Rhaegal were really done dirty.
Drogon's plot armor was thick af. Rhaegal and Viserion were done very dirty, indeed.
@@thegoldentb7596 Both caught by surprise by previously unknown weapons. It does underscore that if Dany had stuck with her original attack plan upon arriving in Westeros, with all 3 dragons, few Scorpions, she’d have been on the Iron Throne in no time in a much less pissed off frame of mind, probably accepting the city surrender. ‘The Law of Unintended Consequences’ writ large.
Plot armor. I do think she was pretty smart here by using the sun to her advantage.
they didn't even bother to refer to them by name most of the time.. it was Drogon and oh yea the other two lol
@@edbouhl3100 scorpions were not unknown. can 100% give you viserion, who fuckin knew the knight king would be chuckin spears like a scorpion with perfect aim, that shit came out of nowhere for her and the audience lol Rhaegal, dany had already had drogon hit by a scorpion by that point, stupid to not think they would be mass producing those fuckers after KNOWING that it could do some serious damage to one of the dragons, the only thing outside of the GOAT spear chuckin night king.
I love that Jamie mentioned her having 3 to Cersei after seeing Drogon at Highgarden. Yeah, she had 3, but she only needed one to destroy you.
Still woulda been nice if Rhaegal hadn’t died so ridiculously just to try to even the show’s playing field,
bruh I get pissed every time I think about this😕
It’s so unnecessary. If they wanted Rhaegal out of the picture for the King’s Landing fight they could have just had him stay with Jon at Winterfell. Jon is his rider after all and it would have made sense to have a dragon escort the Northern army into enemy territory all the way to King’s Landing
I never really minded that Rhaegal was felled by the scorpion, but the way it happened was really dumb, like, they *knew* that their enemy were in possession of weapons that could inflict damage on dragons and they still just trotted south without a care in the world.
That is mostly the fault of the final seasons being such rush-jobs though. I think it would have been much more interesting if, after a more lengthy campaign both before and after the white walkers, the scorpions would become ever more present. At the Field of Fire 2.0 there was only one, they hit but it didn't kill. So next engagement they bring a few more, say something like 4-8. Daenerys knowing they exist succesfully spot them using Dothraki scouts and have her dragons evade them. At the truce meeting Cersei correctly figures that Daenerys lost a Dragon in the north (another dumb thing that she even brought both her remaining dragons, basically screaming "one of my dragons died, lol" but whatever). Anyway, Cersei figures that while Daenerys is busy in the north they can mass-produce the scorpion, make some sort of maneuver to lure the dragons into position and then kill Rhaegal through sheer overwhelming firepower.
That sequence of events would at least feel deserved because a logical development had been allowed to progress in steps along with the story of their war.
Carnage would be even fun and faster...like 3 lawn mowers working back to back had there been three...cersei would have had petrified to death with her pis and pee trying to flee her body...hahaha
She pulled an Aegon and Balerion. Instead of it being night time and Harrenhal being destroyed. She used the sun to hide from her enemy Aegon used the moon to hide from his enemy both destroyed their intended target Aegon Harrenhal and Dany the iron fleet.
Aegon was certainly a better tactician than her
At a high cost tho
You can't really compare Drogon to Balerion. Drogon was a rather small dragon even compared to the dragons of the Targaryens (not to speak of Old Valerya, of which we have little information). Drogon was only a few years old at this point, while Balerion was almost a century.
@@buzzkill36 had a stronger Dragon to
She didn't use the sun just like Aegon didn't use the moon. In both cases they flew right above the enemy and plunged down to rain fire. If anything she used the cloud cover to get right above them. Any advantage she had with the sun was lost the moment Euron spotted her because it was too cloudy for the sunlight to matter. After getting right in their midst you could argue she used speed and movement to never let a scorpion get the right aim (but with how effective they'd been in the previous episodes, they should've managed to take at least one shot if the plot armor wasn't so thick lmao).
Daenerys could have done this from the first time Euron caught them off guard at Castley Rock and taken full control over the Euron's remaining fleet. But Nooo genius Tyrion suddenly forgot his own suggestion at Dragon's Bay and couldn't think of something so simple the 2nd time. First they had to lose at Castley rock, then have another Dragon killed and then wait for Missandei's death, for Daenerys to finally destroy the fleet with just one, just one Dragon.
got ended with season 6
@@stefanciocan1605 I agree. Although Season 7 the first Episode; Arya alone avenging her family by taking down the House of Freys, and Daenerys' arrival at Dragonstone was still good. But I don't mind agreeing to end the series at Season 6.

Sailor: Then why do I hear boss music?
I never noticed that just about every time one of Cersei's supporters yells fire they get set on fire almost immediately.
Yeah, and the correct term in the medieval pre-gunpowder times would be Nock, Draw and Loose... Fire ofc refers to a more modern canon and firearms
I like how the director made the dragon fire slightly explosive. The overpressure rolling along behind the initial flames is well done!
Yeah and it feels like laser sometimes. Drogon just slice the Red keep with his "breath" xd...
Defending armies in GoT seem to have a thing about standing in front of perfectly defensible walls with not even a ditch between them and the enemy.
Armies in D&D's GoT yes. Sadly. In Winterfell they placed their groundtroops in front of the barricades.
bruh im no tactician and all i saw was a shadiversity video one time... but I could plan a better defense against the shambling dead... but to be honest I wouldn't have lost one of the dragons in a suicide mission when you could have just made pick go and either bite one or grab it then swoop out with amazingly three whole ass dragons and 0 causality
THANK YOU, YES!!! Dig ditches then use earth to create berms on your side of the ditch. Not only do they need to cross the ditch but then climb over the berm. The Romans were doing this kind of stuff, for crying out loud!
When you have complete morons as showrunners without the benefit of a written story you get this garbage masquerading as battle tactics.
Well see, Dumb and Dumber just sort of forgot about castle walls.
These were actually the right tactics to use. For one - scorpions on ships rocking in the waves should never have been so accurate, except by numbers. If you're on a dragon and you're going to fight that... what do you do? Take cover. Fly right out of the sun, right into the middle of them, moving fast and laterally. Don't give them a chance to aim. This was awesome not because the scorpions were nerfed more than they should've been, but because the tactics were right to fight them. I think the show got this part right.
Or just attack at night
Yes indeed 3shot they did indeed get that one right *3shot, a scorpion cant be accurate 3 times in a row from the sea in such a long distance *3 shot
As I remember from USAF doctrine back in the 1980, this was known as ‘the advantage of maneuver’. And a dragon is VERY maneuverable, especially once it and rider know to look for Scorpion bolts and dodge.
Well you think wrong! First of all she doesn’t even come out of the sun, it’s cloudy everywhere, so what’re you saying are the right tactics. Even if she did come out of the sun it wouldn’t be blinding to everyone.
nah, the iron fleets crew kind of forgot how to use scorpions
My question is why didn’t Dany utilize Drogon’s black scales to camouflage into the darkness of the night so they couldn’t see him, a deadly fire breathing shadow like Toothless from how to train your dragon
She wouldn't have been able to see the things shot at her and wouldn't be able to avoid them. Day was better
@@manpq670 Really? Tell me, what's harder to see in the dark: dark, ungodly fast and soundless Spears shot at you, or you know, a large, fire breathing flying lizard?
The writing wasn't perfect but it was acceptable. Dany and Drogon both have experience with being shot at. Serves to reason, that they got better at avoiding them. Can you imagine how hard it would be for Dany to dodge them at night? At least during the day, she used the sun behind her to blind them.
How would they show all the awesome maneuvers in the darkness

Good
To this day, i will never understand why D&D decided to kill off Rhaegal the previous episode rather than this one.
Two dragons destroying the iron fleet and king’s landing defenses and one scorpion getting a lucky shot and killing Rhaegal, therefore making Daenerys go crazy, feels a lot more believable than what we got.
not gonna lie she didn’t even need to burn the iron fleet they were kinda pointless tbh cuz she coulda surrendered the city without destroying them, however I think she purposely prioritized them first out of justice for rhaegal
Budget. Two dragons in one scene a whole lot more costly.
That’s so smart. Never thought about it.
Yep, Jon could have been on Rhaegal and they are perched on the city wall, and the bells are ringing, the city is screaming for mercy, and one dumb Lannister looses a scorpion bolt hitting Rhaegal, Dany sees Rhaegal fall off the wall and fears Jon and Rhaegal are dead, and it's the final straw for her. She destroys King's Landing. Afterwards, she finds out Rhaegal was able to fall to the ground without crushing Jon, and Dany feels shame for her actions.
Makes more sense than Euron hiding behind a damned rock she couldn't see.
This was easily the moment that irked me the most.
These were the final moments we had hope for this show, never forget what they did to it.
Danerys being developed in got was awesome to see, but in the end we didn't see she rulling the seven kingdoms! Her death was stupid
Remember the fan theories we had when Euron was looking up the sky? More dragons and even Arya dropping out of the sky.
Ppl don’t realize how smart Dany was in this battle. She learned after both dragons were killed that they aren’t unbeatable and changed her entire approach. She started to swoop from the clouds and take advantage of her dragons speed. One of the best moves she could have ever done.
Wake up. It is a tv show.
@@MrLeovdmeer Spoken like a true brainlet.
Legit could of attack at night and wipe the city with ez
She is an utter idiot, if not plot armor she would die ten thousand times in this battle.
She only had to remember the history of the Targaryen dragons and the tactics that were used against them (such as in Dorne).
How much of a buff shall we give Drogon?
D&D: Yes.
I was stressed and confused watching this 4 years ago. Now I watch and think, “good for her.” *sips tea*
This is drogon after latest patch notes, he has all abilities buffed by 500%.
Patching him midseason was brutal
I think that they were nerfed asf in the last patch, there's a reason to Dragons be equal to Nukes.
Many Euron's ships kinda forgot to have scorpions 😅
They kinda forgot how to shoot them all 100+ of them
Haha 🤣
They kinda forgot about the other 900+ ships
Yeah they also forgot the fact Euron's crew is 100% made up of fucking mutes that he cut the tongues out of, yet in this scene they're yelling and screaming and one even yelled "Fire!" (cause back then they were always "firing" weaponry 🤡).. They also forgot to include his signature-character defining-eye patch (which is literally his own Sigil as well) or his alleged dragon binding horn and his Valaryian Steel suit of ARMOR he both got from Valaryia, or all the different people he has tied up to the mast of his ship (Warlocks from Qarth/Maesters/Septons/even one of his brothers Aeron), or his incredibly badass brother Victarion-whose wife slept with Euron and got butchered by Victarion's axe resulting in Euron's EXILE......
Good thing there were no scorpions here. Only ballistas
imagine if dany still had her full power, i think the golden company would have ran away 20min before the battle had started
@Destination Unknown 40,000 Dothraki screamers land on our shores. We hole up in our castles. A wise move, only a fool would meet the Dothraki on an open field. How long do the people stand behind their cowardly king hiding behind stone walls? When do they decide a Targaryen is the rightful monarch after all?
Could you imagine if she had all three dragons for this?
Soldier: "FIRE!"
Dragon: "Your wish! Is my command!"
So much for the Golden Company.. The Essos plot-line with the Iron Bank, etc. seems to be discarded.

Those two writers butchered this whole season. One of the best shows ever, ruined by 2 morons
Missandei: Dracarys!
Then it happened
"So here I am, with 1,000 ships," Euron grins, "and two good hands."
Brings less than 100 to largest battle.
It strikes me Euron was a bit of a liar tbh.
Damn imagine being assigned as a crossbow man for dragons, you know you’ll only get one shot, the second round would be a miracle and second later you’re in fire
Euron: So, I see in your resumé you have been an archer for years. What do you think of working now with a ballista from now on?
Archer: bruh idk, if I ever fight a dragon I would get only 1, 2, or if Im rlly lucky, 3 shots at maximum, if I miss these 3 shots, Im dead... And dragons are the most difficult thing to kill in the whole world... idk, man
Euron: well, you'll get a get a very good raise if you accept this job...
Archer: I'm in!!!!
I hate that I have not much of my life left, but I am glad I lived long enough to see CGI capable of making such incredible scenes seem SO real. Just amazing!
There was no point in the Golden Company, it was stupid to build them up just to have them defeated in 12 seconds. In season 7 it's like the writers hinted that the Golden Company would turn on Cersei but instead they decided to subvert our expectations. They also planted seeds that Dany would end up pregnant last season it kept being brought up how she couldn't have children they made it seem like she would eventually but that too was to subvert expectations. Also in season 7 it kept being said how untrustworthy euron was only to have him completely devoted to Cersei which is against his nature but again it was to subvert our expectations.
They just went with maximum subversion and just ended up in perversion. Like the Night King and the army of the dead. First scene of the entire show white walkers. Huh subplot all series and then meh one episode should do say D & D. Idiots. Also why should a Stark always been in winterfell? I thought itd be great if basically Winterfell was very of being lost when Bran used the seer with the tree to discover and exit that enables them to fall back to the Reeds. From there they split half in a fighting retreat to the south the other to Dragonstone to get more glass. As the southern army arrives Cersei declares she won't help despite Jamies pleas. You finally see the light go up in his eyes and the light go her die (bs he was so besotted he couldn't see right, when he was already on redeem arc). The Golden company use that as the excuse to switch sides and you see them mfs slice through the dead like they are a birthday cake. Then the WW intervene and the tide turns again despite going toe to toe with incorrect weapons. Half the lannister army joins Jamie but still desperate stuff. The Night King even lands with Viserion into the damaged throne room from THAT fighting in a power move. When all seems lost the other half from dragon stone reappears with a pincer from Dorne on the other side WIth upgraded spear blades of dragon glass. Jon gets to fight the Night King but gets hit but all his lieutenants have been killed or are fighting. He goes to deliver the killing blow and is blocked by a shattering needle. By time he realises what just happened the valerian knife hits his chest and poof. Two to three episodes of carnage and it stretched as far as KL . Yes probably no budget but some ice spiders too. Oh and what does the horn do? Nobody knows. Waste of time.
I loved it when the men at the turret yelled fire... his wish was granted!
Golden Company leader to Cersei:
- You didn't tell me anything about dragons!
- You didn't bring me elephants.
Haha Cersei would legit have said that in that cold voice too.
This is one of my favorite scenes. Her and drogon laying waste to that fleet
i love the badass music that plays in the background whenever the dragons enter the scene
This was extremely disappointing. For just so many reasons. The other dragon got ripped apart by these ballistae, and all of a sudden they're terrible. Coming from the Sun was cool, but the whole golden company buildup was just pointless. Many missed opportunities.
It could be argued that drogon and denarys learned how to avoid and dodge ballista arrows by this point
@@punkrockdavid exactly. Drogon spent his entire life free and unchained, living in the wild. He was more in tune to his senses than rhagel who had spent time locked up
It’s obvious that they wanted to stress that a dragon without a rider is very vulnerable.
I mean to be fair I don't know why they built up the golden company. Literally everytime a blackfyre came to westeros with the golden company at their back they were soundly crushed by the targaryens and this was at a point in history when all the dragons had long died out.
They're a great mercenary company but no match for a full army of Westerosi knights.
She completely exploited the weakness of the ballistas during her offensive. She used a preemptive strike with the sun in her back to get into close distance with them, flying through their lines and picking them up one by one. They're slow to maneuver and hitting a target that's close to the ballistas and flying curves is nearly impossible, because greater angle of movement is needed to cover the same target. They weren't nerved, this time Dany just went on the offensive and had a good tactic instead of beeing taken by surprise like during the last encounter.
At least they showed the true power of dragons, Drogon was literally blowing up the ships with his flames. Would have been more awesome seeing all three of them, but they fucked it all up.
I never really understood how ballistas of all things were so accurate that they could take down a dragon. You would need massive volleys because I'm pretty sure a dragon is much more maneuverable compared to WW2 bombers facing entire anti aircraft batteries with flak. Must have been one helluva lucky shot when they took down the other dragon.
3 lucky shots in a row actually. And all at the same dragon too
They were ambushed By the iron fleet because someone snitched, I don't really see any other reason How They were able to find the spot to ambush Daenerys&her fleet unless someone slipped them a map and directions
@@davidvivsik6576 behind a fucking big rock formation at that. Bro only had enough gold to afford aim hacks for one engagement.
The biggest ballistas could hit a stationary target at 4000 feet but it was a parabolic shooting motion, not a straight one as shown in the serie. Also they were not that accurate, especially on a boat since there would still be some movement even with the anchor dropped.
Anyway the show never did any research on war since they don't use trenches in front of castles and charge an undead army with light cavalry.
It's those German optical range finders. Zeiss used to make ballista scopes.
Leave one Targaryen alive, and the seven kingdoms are never safe
Gendry’s the last one 😢
Exactly as everyone in the entire series is saying. If she really wanted it to, all it take is a day for her to take king’s landing back.
All of the scorpions stopped working at the same time. Except that one that actually fired and missed. Great writing.
I hummed the Jaws movie theme when Drogon was coming like a 747 very
Isn't it great how Kings Landing went from being next to the sea and then in a desert, like nobody would notice.
I adore watching a dragon, especially one as well-designed as Drogon, tear apart an armada of ships, but it annoys me so much when they inaccurately say ‘Fire’ after correctly saying ‘Loose’ throughout the entire rest of the series
That’s season 8 for you. The second they ran out of direct quotes to steal from the books, everything about the show took a nosedive.
As much as they fucked everything up these last few episodes, it was pretty great to see smug Cersei bragging about her fleet and her army only for them to get tore up in front of her so quickly.
It doesnt really compensate for the shitty seasons and finale.
Euron kinda forget he could snipe a Dragon in the neck from across the realms on a rocky boat
Imagine doing this with 3 dragons instead of 1
This season was a nightmare but the visuals don't seize to amaze me.
The invincible and legendary Golden Company. They have this killer rep, and they're in the fight for about three seconds.
Imagine if Danny had first done all this then asked all the Northmen to retreat south and fight the Walkers from Dragon Stone and the iron islands.
That would have made too much sense ...

Savings Danny in the fighting pit in Meereen, burning Jamie’s army, burning the fleets, saving Jon and his crew from White Walkers, fighting in the long night against undead Viserion, laying waste to Kings Landing. Drogon put in the most work in GoT and probably will remain the most iconic dragon.
I love the bit where the archer said “Fire!” And then they all burned
if David and dan had any brains, she would have done that long before loosing Yara, Elaria, and later on, Rhaegal and Missandae. In fact, she would've helped Yara destroy Euron as soon as she had gotten to Westeros, because 1st, she promised, and 2nd, it would get one of the enemies out of the way and it would have secured the Iron islands and Dorne. I swear I wish I could turn bak time to rewrite season 7 and 8, with Dany taking kings landing first and then helping out in the north, and then ruling as the good and mighty queen. They legit made her put off taking the red keep for so long, that Euron and his bastards had time to build hundreds of scorpions (honestly, if she had attacked right away, she would not even need an army. her and her three dragons would have price sly destroyed Cersei's army in a heartbeat, no casualties on her side), not to mention her turning into a villain FOR NO REASON. In fact, Imagine Dany as the queen, Sansa as the warden of the north (I would have made them friends), Elaria, Brienne, Yara and Arya all sitting at one table. Just a bunch of badass women ruling Westeros.
Never shout "Fire!" when a dragon is around
if i was a lannister soldier i would have ran away the moment i saw a bionic lizard soar the skies
Drogon: good day hoomans may I take your order?
Humans: Fire!
Drogon: say no more!
Although this is a terribly written season (I will never forgive what they did to Rhaegal or Dany), it absolutely gave us some stunning scenes. It still makes me nervous watching this part, even thought I know Drogon makes it out okay!
Speaking of Rhaegal, it annoys me how he and Jon clearly bonded together as dragon and dragonrider, but the show yet again ignored this. Jon didn't give a toss about Rhaegal dying despite saving the world together a couple of weeks before. Also wouldn't Rhaegal have stayed near Jon rather than keep to Dany's side?
Anyway, yes cool scene.
Of course, they would have yelled "shoot," or maybe "loose." The command to "fire" started in the age of ... well ...*fire*arms.
This is one of the most ridiculous scenes. If only her and the dragon was that angry the night the white walkers attacked, they could have burned all the zombies before a spear could be thrown at them.
I like how the dragon hits the water in front of the boats before hitting the ships gets the water boiling 🥵 Also how intense the heat was that it would cut right threw everything like a sedaline torch!!!
Not that Season 8 isn't a dumpster fire... I gained a little more respect for this scene in rewatching it.
Dany knows the direction her enemies expect for her approach. On a dragon, her first advantage is mobility. She chooses the direction of approach and comes at an angle where they have to completely re-aim. Notice that the first thing they have to do is turn the scorpions. That gives her the advantage of not facing an initial barrage... just a quick shot or two. From there, she can avoid with lateral movements and direct her fire power for suppression.
When she turns her attention to the castle walls, she flies low and fast. It requires the scorpion crews to push their weapons to extremes for the low angle. It takes a moment to re-aim and that gives an initial advantage. As soon as they fire, she goes high. Now, she just has to get to them before they reload... and she does.
After that, the castle is hers... all of the scorpions were aimed outward. Coming from the inside makes them easy prey.
Dragon is a big target, they only take 2-5 seconds to aim and fire and 70+ spears in her direction makes virtually no gap for drogon to squeeze through without getting hit. Attacking the Bay was just stupid at all, there would be no line of sight if she attacked kingslanding first, forcing eurons men to either leave or disembark.
@@francisbalfour1243 drogon may be a big target, but even with a setup like a ballista, those bolts have an insane drop off and on a costal city? Forget about it. The breeze would work against them on even the clearest, still day. Drogon moves at the speed of a small plane, he absolutely zips by, so trying to aim and hit a fast target moving erratically with limited maneuverability on your end would make it a statistical game that's not in your favor, even numerically. The show does little right this season, but establishing, at least now, that the Scorpion ballista has to to be manned by a full team and requires a crank to rotate is more than enough to sell how Dany beats them here.

All the Dracarys scenes are very brutal, but all of them are so satisfying... One word and the guy's on fire... That's just so good...
The moment they say "Fire!" and actually gets all butned up is sooooo satisfying.
One of the most satisfying kill of Drogon
A really epic moment....but I'm pretty sad with the final of series...
Man I love that little violin sound right before the fire breath. It sounds like "I am fire. I am....DEATH."
That’s how Aegon came down, high from the sun!
This is such a bs scene! Every freaking one of those ships has a Scorpion, but no one is firing. Did everyone go on lunch break at the same time, and no one invited Euron?
You are forgetting that Euron Greyjoy was a narcissist. Makes sense he would want to be the one to kill the dragon. Troops were surely sent ashore for the onset of the dothraki and the unsullied.
@@debbieverret4033 I'm sure troops were on shore, and they weren't firing the Scorpions either. No one was. Everyone was busy doing nothing like the plot device told them to.
0:59 a melhor cena dessa temporada começa aqui kk
A música mdsss
Archers: "Fire!"
Drogon: Be careful what you wish for
Euron needs to hear the British protocol "Watch for the hun in the sun."
To be fair drogon was the hardest of her dragons to take down remember when bronn was able to hit drogon with a ballistic arrow it barely did anything to him, while for her other dragons it went right though them, also drogon was stabbed several times by wights and still survived, so yeah not alot of things can kill him.
I will never not be annoyed by the Golden Company being built up as a serious fighting force only for... this.
Amazing that this is a tv show.. the vfx and music are incredible...
A Navy without air support is really just a collection of ships on a cruise
