Personally, I don’t. His conquest is basically “aegon or one of his sisters flew here, killed everyone with dragons, then crowned someone as lord or whatever, then left”. Yeah, I know there is more to it than that, but the reason GOT was so good is that the action is quiet limited and it’s far more political. I dunno, personally I think I’d find it boring
Two things: the contacts distracted a lot of the acting with their eyes. Eyes are a huge form of expression and the contacts would detract from that, as well as possibly be hindered by the lenses. Two: in post production, it would've been too costly to do for all the scenes and it just didn't look right. It's not a necessity anyway. The characters are distinctive enough.
An aegons conquest spin off is confirmed by hbo just don’t know when. But I bet the eyes will be purple back then because the married each other in the family constantly and once they started marrying to different houses the pure Valyrian blood eventually diluted enough to stop purple eyes.
There’s rumors that Rhaenys cheated on Aegon with singers and others she kept in her company. While there’s rumors that Visenya used sorcery to conceive/birth Maegor. Aenys ended up weak and spineless although some blame could be placed on Rhaenys dying while he was so young causing him to regress but his oldest son son Aegon the uncrowned was described as the spitting image of his grandfather.
@@rhiannongreen2642 it’s interesting to think about the possibility of Aenys not being his but at the end of the day it doesn’t actually matter. Like you mentioned the Valyrian’s practiced incest and blood magic for generations and clearly that magic was passed down to Aenys and his heirs.
I’ll bet he more than once looked at Visenya across the dinner table and wished that it was her who had died in Dorne instead of Rhaenys, especially in the latter years of their marriage.
@@jasmineg_63 she was a warrior... she knew her duties... being with Aegon was a duty... if it weren't she would have woo some other lord from a noble house
Indeed, if they ever did a series on Aegon I there are a lot of angles or ways they could portray him without contradicting cannon. It would be a very interesting character to write for.
Thats kind of the point. Everything we know of him is from historical texts written with agendas. This idea that he was the perfect king is almost certainly BS.
They need to make a "Histories of Westeros & Essos" show where its one episode per political event. - Aegons conquest - Roberts Rebellion - Selmy saving Aerys - Blackfyre rebellion Theres so much content that can be faithfully made
I feel like some of those should be given more than one episode. All of the conquest and rebellion both get only one episode? Those should both be a series of their own if HBO wanted to. I want new series' but I don't want to take away from grrm writing his final 2 books if they ever come out.

@@djole93podbara It wouldn't be dumb if he believed such a threat would spread to the entire world. Let's imagine if the Long Night consumed all of Westeros: How long do you think it would take for the Others, who possess knowledge of how armor and weapons(technology) works, to spread to the rest of the world? It's not out of the realm of possibility that, if the Others made wights of all the people of Westeros, that they would be able to take it a step further and consume other parts of the world. That's why I think he MIGHT have been trying to unite the Kingdoms, because he realized the sheer magnitude of "we are fucked" that the Others represent.
It comes from Fire and Blood which isn't really semi-canon but it is intended to be a baised account of Targaryen history from an unreliable narrator. In Fire and Blood it's said that while Aegon accepted the Seven Gods as his own that he didn't bother to get knighted and never participated in any religious activities of the Seven; he never even built a sept within the Aegonfort or on Dragonstone. It's thought that he converted for political reasons and held the gods of Old Valyria in private.
@@claikuThey wouldn’t be interesting if he didn’t conquer the seven kingdoms. So yes he is the best out of all them with the best dragon. Like little finger said it’s ah reason his name still echoes till the present day of GOT.💀
I believe he was a probably a better conqueror than a king, who was uninterested in the daily bureucracies of ruling which he probably left to Visenya who was probably the actual ruler. Her discontent with him never appreciating her for ruling his kingdom and his favour of Rhaenys over her , despite her being a great warrior and dragonrider who played a pivotal part in the Conquest and their contempt towards each other in the latter years of marriage probably led to her trying to put Maegor, her own son, on the throne instead of Aenys.
You clearly did not understand Targaryen history. Visenya and aegon never hated one another. Visenya tried to make aenys a good king but failed. It was after aenys died that visenya had enough and put Maegor on the throne. Like the video said, Aegon is a solitary person, the only one who could get him talking was orys not rhaenys.
“Semi cannon source” bruh it’s literally in 2 books that say that is the reason why he adopted the 7 but then it states that even though he did that he was never a pious man.
Aenys is not a good king at the time. Him and maegor are like two extremes. Aegon probably busy with himself since he’s an introvert and only openly talks his feelings to orys. Considering things he raised aenys somewhat right as a man. Aenys was kind and seems like a good person. The only problem is that he’s king and this is asoiaf world so that’s a problem.

If they ever made a series/movie about his conquest, I would not be surprised if he was actually incredibly PASSIVE. And it was his sisters pushing him to get shit done. Rhaenys provided the carrot, Visenya the stick. I just get the impression of big sister Visenya being a real drill sergeant. Bossing everyone around since they were kids. He very obviously avoided her, towards the end of his life.
@@Papaty25are you kidding after allysane there are plenty of other great queens. Only difference is that they have no dragons so their contribution are different. Jaehaerys mother is also a good queen. She held her own against maegor when her children were still little. That takes guts
Instead of a full on TV show, they should make a limited mini series on Aegon's Conquest. It doesn't have enough to make it into a multi-season show, so it would be best to be used in a mini-series.
My main gripe with Aegon was his treatment of Visyena. She did a lot in terms of the conquest and establishment of the realm. Maybe if Aegon loved her as he did Rhaenys Maegor & Aenys could’ve gotten along better.
It’s a sad truth, but you can’t force yourself to love someone if you don’t. And even though it was clear Aegon didn’t really love Visenya, perhaps had he been kinder to her, or at least made more of an acknowledgment of her accomplishments and efforts, things would have been different.
Aegon didn't abuse her . He loved her as his sister and just couldn't develop romantic feelings for her. They both knew that they married for obligations and him remaining faithful to his one true love doesn't really paint him as a bad person. .
People keep saying they want an Aegon the Conqueror show but if the rumors a few months ago are to be believed, they were planning one but canceled it when the powers that be of HBO saw a summary of it and were outraged when it appeared that Aegon was going to be portrayed as a bumbling, drunken idiot and the sisters would be the competent ones (of course) who were secretly ruling. You know, what they’re currently doing to Daemon in HotD.
I feel really sorry for the writer that in a possible conquest series it will be necessary to create some actual personality for him, so that later part of the fanbase will say that "it is not faithful to the book" (aka literal shallow fake medieval chronicles in the world of ice and fire and fire and blood)
Ive always wondered what would have happened and the relationship dynamics if Orys had claimed The cannibal. Would have Aegon left one of his sisters for him. If so who. Id like to think Visenya and then made a pact to betroth their offspring. All in all it's quite an intriguing thought.
Let governance to his sisters i don't think so they likely helped him rule better and wiser but don't think he didn't do his administrative duties he integrated the seven/six kingdoms during his rule
I think if they ever do a show about Aegon, they need to look to Aragorn for inspiration. They have an opportunity to do what LOTR never did by showing someone who is in essence everything a man and king should be, and using that to illustrate the progressive failings of his descendants, and their gradual degradation and failure to uphold the legacy he built for them.
He was basically the perfect King. Which is a trick lol. All we know about him is from history books. History books are overly kind to Kings who are worshipped by their descendents like Aegon was. Daemon worships him.
It also helps that he burned to death almost everyone who opposed him, so any written records of the time would certainly be keeping that in mind
ehhh idk aerys and Aegon the IV are always mentioned as terrible rulers but other Targaryen kings like daeron and baelor are often loved by the people and the history books don't mention bad things about them (maybe except baelor, for all the locking his sisters in a tower lol)

Wish they had kept the purple eyes! It would have made them so distinctive and otherworldly
I wish they would've but I think Emilia said she couldn't wear the contacts so they didn't go with purple eyes. CGI may have looked too fake as well
Inicially, both actors wore eye contacts while filming GoT. The contacts were uncomfortable & hard to act with so they stopped.
I hope they at least give only Aegon the purple eyes if they adapt him in live action, would be dope if he was the only one
Two things: the contacts distracted a lot of the acting with their eyes. Eyes are a huge form of expression and the contacts would detract from that, as well as possibly be hindered by the lenses.

Yeah: Maekar, Maegor, Aegon I, Aegor Rivers, along with Daemon Blackfyre and Maelys Blackfyre if we are also counting the Blackfyres.
This is probably because before house of the dragon the only onscreen male Targaryen we had that actually looked like a Targaryen was Viserys.

If they ever made a series/movie about his conquest, I would not be surprised if he was actually incredibly PASSIVE. And it was his sisters pushing him to get shit done. Rhaenys provided the carrot, Visenya the stick. I just get the impression of big sister Visenya being a real drill sergeant. Bossing everyone around since they were kids. He very obviously avoided her, towards the end of his life.
In other words, he is THE man
Bro where do you get those photo in background , plz reply
Hope they would cast Alexander Skarsgård as Aegon the conqueror! Suits him. 😍
If they ever make the series they should cast "TRAVIS fimmel" (ragnar from vikings) as Aegon
House Baratheon: Began with a bastard and ended with a bastard as the sole survivor
“A great warrior…who only rode on his dragon”
Fire and Blood gaslighting everyone
And yet the realm has a problem following a Queen
Yeah u got a prob with that i'll willing to talk about it
There's never been another queen like Visenya, Rhaenys (Aegon's Sister) or Alysanne.
@@Papaty25who’s allysane
@@Yazzieeee King Jahaerys I Targaryen's sister-wife.
@@Papaty25are you kidding after allysane there are plenty of other great queens. Only difference is that they have no dragons so their contribution are different. Jaehaerys mother is also a good queen. She held her own against maegor when her children were still little. That takes guts
Love how Targaryen had a dynasty for over 280 years and had like 3 good kings
Purple gotta be the best eye color
Instead of a full on TV show, they should make a limited mini series on Aegon's Conquest. It doesn't have enough to make it into a multi-season show, so it would be best to be used in a mini-series.
Is it me or should there be a show based on Aegon
I can't wait for HBO max to release this. They been working on it since 2022.
That’s how important for Targaryens do not have any other counselors except their own family. Otherwise someone always tries to overthrown them
My main gripe with Aegon was his treatment of Visyena. She did a lot in terms of the conquest and establishment of the realm. Maybe if Aegon loved her as he did Rhaenys Maegor & Aenys could’ve gotten along better.
It’s a sad truth, but you can’t force yourself to love someone if you don’t. And even though it was clear Aegon didn’t really love Visenya, perhaps had he been kinder to her, or at least made more of an acknowledgment of her accomplishments and efforts, things would have been different.
Aegon didn't abuse her . He loved her as his sister and just couldn't develop romantic feelings for her. They both knew that they married for obligations and him remaining faithful to his one true love doesn't really paint him as a bad person.

Rode that big ass dragon to go to the corner store for some B&Ms and a Gatorade
After House of the Dragon, we could do with a Aegon's Conquest Show. With Henry Cavill as Aegon.
I want to see his atory next lol
People keep saying they want an Aegon the Conqueror show but if the rumors a few months ago are to be believed, they were planning one but canceled it when the powers that be of HBO saw a summary of it and were outraged when it appeared that Aegon was going to be portrayed as a bumbling, drunken idiot and the sisters would be the competent ones (of course) who were secretly ruling. You know, what they’re currently doing to Daemon in HotD.
I want a serious from the begining of Valeria and to the end of Aegon the conquere's reign 😭,please god please❤😭
Henry Cavill would be a perfect casting
Oh, he never rode Balerion into tourney´s? What a kind and fair soul.
leaving the Rubies off the crown on HOTD was so fucked
Can you do the ibbenese next 😊
Historians will say they were only “friends” and “half brothers” smh 🤦♂️
And not a century later Daemon would be haunted by the same castle his predecessor burned.
I feel really sorry for the writer that in a possible conquest series it will be necessary to create some actual personality for him, so that later part of the fanbase will say that "it is not faithful to the book" (aka literal shallow fake medieval chronicles in the world of ice and fire and fire and blood)
whats the background music called ?
Henry Cavil as Aegon in a prequel series like “Dance of the Dragons” would be tremendous.
He’s just like me fr
lol 😂
It's cool to compare Aegon I to Jon Snow. The first and last Targaryens who are different from one another.
Ive always wondered what would have happened and the relationship dynamics if Orys had claimed The cannibal.
Would have Aegon left one of his sisters for him.
If so who.
Id like to think Visenya and then made a pact to betroth their offspring.
All in all it's quite an intriguing thought.
he kind of gives eric dane vibes here
Once House of the Dragon Raps up. WE THE PEOPLE WANT Aegon Story‼️
Like Daemon in some aspects.
Basically hennry cavil
Just 7 episode of Aegon's story would be perfect.
Henry cavil as Aegon would go harddd
Let governance to his sisters i don't think so they likely helped him rule better and wiser but don't think he didn't do his administrative duties he integrated the seven/six kingdoms during his rule
The descendants of his only friend and brother would put an end to his family reign.
Well yes. I mean, thats freaking traumatizing.
Crazy how Rhaegar and Robert Baratheon are distantly related
I think if they ever do a show about Aegon, they need to look to Aragorn for inspiration. They have an opportunity to do what LOTR never did by showing someone who is in essence everything a man and king should be, and using that to illustrate the progressive failings of his descendants, and their gradual degradation and failure to uphold the legacy he built for them.
I want a movies series of this … pushing about 3 hrs for each… I am so invested in this story 🔥 the beginning has to be epic
Why series hasn’t been done on this I have no idea
Henry Cavill as Aegon the First would be neat
