Lord of Moat Cailin Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 If dragons were real, how would we be different, and how would we compare to how Westeros reacts. Let's compare it in 2015 and in the middle ages.2015: I think if they appeared now, without being around before, our tech would destroy them, in sidewinder missle vs dragon I say missile winsMiddle Ages: Humans would be unable to controll them and they would drive us into hiding, underground and in forests and what not, where the dragons won't prey on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePosterThatWasPromised Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 We'd kill them. If there is one thing humans are great at, it's killing things - our innovation knows absolutely no restraints when it comes to killing. Primitive humans managed to render the Mastodon and the Sabre-Toothed Tiger extinct before we invented the damn wheel. I feel like we'd lose a lot to their flames, but before long, even humans in the middle ages would develop technology to kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmnomnomPomelo Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Some big countries who held power like the USA, Russia, China etc. would try to capture and tame a few in secret, and then nuke all the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balerion the one eared cat Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 All of the above. However, I think my favourite reactions would be all the different geek sects starting fights about how to tame them.Tolkien fanboys: "Look, this clearly isn't Ancalagon the Black. Let's just find a nice remote mountain in the Himalayas, fill it with gold and jewels, and they'll just fly off peacefully and we can all get back to our lives. If not, we just need a black arrow and someone who's reeeeeeaallly good with a slingshot...."Inheritance Cycle fandom: "Well the eggs have hatched, their Riders have gotta be out there somewhere! Maybe they just didn't realise what the pretty rock was, it must have all been very confusing. Keep an eye out for people with weird burn marks on their hands, guys!"ASOIAF: "Ok yeah, pretty much screwed. Any Scandinavian-looking people got a really big whip? Nope? Yeah, definitely screwed then." ETA: subsequent answers reminded me of Shrek: "anyone got an attractive donkey with Eddie Murphy's voice lying around?"

2FallenStags Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The easiest answer would be mass panic...The more realistic answer is that American politicians would monopolize them and threaten to eradicate through "sanctions" any other country that tried to pursue them. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Malenkirk Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Middle Ages: Humans would be unable to controll them and they would drive us into hiding, underground and in forests and what not, where the dragons won't prey on us Nah, these ASOAIF dragons are just animals. We'd kill cull them to manageable level without too much problem, as long as they are wild and not being protected by rich dragon riders. For those that aren't monstrously sized like Balerion, we could just snipe them. Medieval arbalest could generate upward of 1200 pound forces. Some skilled and fearless hunters would manage to put a bolt from such bad boys through most dragons skull. For the truly huge dragons, I recommend poison. You have to get inventive for the delivery system, but I trust us human to be inventive when it comes to killing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayrouse Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It's simple: We send in Batman, Leonidas, Prince Doran and Joseph Cooper to London to kill the only male dragon in existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two and a Halfhand Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 too wild and hostile to control,to powerful to let be.In Ancient Times they would be the center of everyday's life:either to worship them as the ultimate being of Earth or hide from them(i would expect a lot of these http://www.goreme.com/kaymakli-underground-city-2.jpg)InModern times we would kill/capture for experiments and entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
