Ser Gareth Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I seriously think you're underestimating Aegon. You make it seem as thought he is currently fighting the whole Realm. He pretty much took the Stormlands, He has dorne, The north and Riverlands were buttfucked currently, The vale ain't fighting. All he has to do is get past the Tyrells and lannisters and thanks to Varys he already in step in the right direction. Second, now that she has dragon she needs Aegon more than she ever thinks to. The blood of dragons is needed to keep real Dragons under control from now and later generations. she kills Aegon The Targ name won't past her. Personally I think the whole constant raging wars in Westeros are a plot device. GRRM is making it so that the country rips itself to pieces so that it is weaker when the Others invade. Thus making the Others advance more aggressive, give the more undead to raise from graves and making a real world political statement of how stupid mankind is waging war on one another whilst ignoring larger threats that affect us all.

Justin Amey Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Well, her deeds are well known in Essos and to some degree in Westeros. Tyrion outlained her character properly when speaking with Aegon. Ilirio as well knows her character and how it changed on the Dothraki sea. True, which was why Tyrion told aegon to go to westeros, takes KL to prove to Dany that he is a man worth having.

That is a very weak case, the realm was so much weaker the blackfyre rebellions.the was far more divided and there were no dragons period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the analogy of climate change. The battle for the Iron Throne and Danny's pointless counterinsurgency in Essos represent the real world. We're focused on everything, but the real existential threat to humanity. Meanwhile, we falsely label issues like Islamic Terror and the decline of the western financial hegemony as existential threats. The Others are the changing climate coming to kill us all. It's mindless, incomprehensible, and neither good or evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErasmusF Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Varys's plan was the best possible first option. Join the GC/Aegon forces to Dany's forces - have a legitimate Targ heir one way or the other. Just because a plan falls apart, or even fails, doesn't mean it wasn't the best possible first plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
