"Dragon Family" episode 8, gave Aegon prophecy, a new meaning of "darkness"?

Aegon's dream of the White Walkers -- or the winter and darkness he saw from the north -- helped define the first season of Dragon Family. King Viserys knew this and named his daughter Rhaenyra as his heir. In "Dragon Family" Season 1, Episode 8, things go even further. Earlier in the episode, Rhaenyra had spoken to Viserys about the dream, while the delirious and ill Viserys also spoke of Aegon's dream to his wife, Allison. .

He confirmed his belief that the dream was real and, it seems, Rhaenyla was the prince's promise. But Allison was apparently ignorant of the prophecy, thinking that the prince Viserys spoke of was her son Aegon, who had to unify the kingdom. It can be said that Viserys further deepened the contradiction between Rhaenyla and Allison. Because Allison completely misunderstood what Viserys said, she claimed she knew what to do.

In an instant, all the goodwill in the eighth episode of the first season of "House of the Dragon" vanished. Allison is now, more than ever, eager to have his son appear on the Iron Throne. Not only that, she felt that she also had a very righteous reason. Because she thought it was King Viserys' last wish to replace his previous practice of appointing Rhaenyra as his heir.

In any case, Viserys' attitude towards his daughter Rhaenyla and towards his wife Allison is the beginning of Blood Dragon Dance . But making Aegon's dream and the "promised prince" and Viserys' death the catalyst for the Civil War was a fascinating decision. This is the exact opposite of Aegon the Conqueror's prophecy and his wishes, but does speak to the essence of the prophecy in Game of Thrones . Because prophecies are often distorted by the thoughts of those who hear them.

This makes the story of "Dragon Family" even more plausible, and it describes what Aegon's dream was like. From Viserys to Rhaenyra to Allison and Aegon, the Dance of the Blood Dragons becomes a doomed battle of prophecy and fate. Not only that, but it also provides a new thread: Allison rebels against Rhaenyra even more fiercely.

Ironically, this scene is a bit like history repeating itself. Aegon's dream is the originator of the Dragon Dance. Because it reflects a key event before Game of Thrones - the Robert rebellion. Although "Mad King" Aerys II Targaryen clearly needs to be removed anyway, and people have started talking about how to get rid of him, it wasn't until Rhaegar Targaryen kidnapped Lyanna Starr gram , Robert Baratheon was really forced to act, Robert's rebellion began, and it all started with The Promised Prince.

Anyway, "Dragon Family" has changed the way we think about "Game of Thrones" and even "Fire and Blood" novels to a large extent. Because of this show, the promised prince prophecy has been enriched with new meanings - deepening the contradiction between Rhaenyla and Allison, because of Viserys' words, Allison believes that her son is the one who should take it. responsible person. Of course, the development of the drama "Dragon Family" also makes me more excited and looking forward to the future development of the story.
