Rory Snow Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 So why didn't Drogon kill Jon Snow? Is it just because of Jon's Targ blood? Did he understand Dany had lost it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallTale Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I think it’s the targ blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I think Drogon has more sense than any other character - he realizes that Dany's obsession with the Iron Throne is her ultimate downfall. My question is why didn't John mount Drogon and fly off into the sunrise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was going to be the next move as well! Drogon torching the Iron Throne showed a fair bit of understanding.. he was breaking the wheel in his own way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LearnToBeNoOne Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The burning of the Iron Throne was probably the only good thing. He lost his mother to it so burnt it, took her and left. Would have been even more embarrassing if Jon had gone off with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightless bird Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I think he felt Jons emotion (because hes a targ).. Jon wasn't vengeful and angry and murderous.. but heart broken, moarning and sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Varys Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Just stupid TV imagery. There is no reason to any of this. Don't look for it, and don't project sense onto it because there is none. In George's book a dragon allows familiar people - especially other Targaryens - close to themselves and their riders, but presumably a dragon would immediately react to an attack on its rider and would even avenge him or her if it could. We have attestations for dragons mourning for their riders (Dreamfyre mourned for Queen Helaena) and we also have reason to believe dragons feel the need and hurt of their riders (Sunfyre possibly coming to Dragonstone to help Aegon II). We also see how Drogon reacts when Dany is threatened back in ASoS. Not to mention his intervention when he saved her from the Undying in the books.

Sharpes Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 So the vision came true. Dany got to touch the throne but never sit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
of man and wolf Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 would have been cool if he tried toching Jon like with the NK but Jon stood there unburnt. NK was a Targ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmonsterff Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Drogon was smart. He knew that the throne got Dany killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticWeirwood Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 What dragon has ever before done anything like this for its slain rider or that person's assassin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFeetUnder Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 ........ bran was controlling drogon......... he burnt the iron throne, knowing full well he’d never be able to sit on it. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeIAF Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Drogon felt Jon's mourning and guilt over Dany's death and that he truly cared for her ... That's why he wasnt vengeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran the Shipper Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 He broke the wheel. Both by melting the iron throne and by not giving into a desire for revenge. Revenge would not bring Dany back (flying her off to Volantis so Kinvara could give her the kiss of life would bring her back). All revenge does is lead to a never ending cycle of violence and Drogon the Wise realized it and so he sought another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyrionFan82 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I really felt for Drogon due to his mourning, it showed he was a lot more intuitive to people thought maybe. He probably knew Jon was torn and thought this throne has caused all this trouble, this isn't worth it. I assume he took Dany then to give her a proper death of a Targ.

Euron III Greyjoy Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Because Drogon became political, and realised it was the throne that killed Daenerys, not Jon. . . . That is how I imagine D&D explaining it to us, whilst smiling smugly like they are the best writers in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerevanin Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I suppose that it was a combination of targaeryen blood, a kind of a bond between Jon and Drogon and the fact that Dany loved Jon. Dunno, it was wierd. I wouldn't mind if Drogon really killed Jon and then grabbed Dany's body and flew away. 1 minute ago, Euron III Greyjoy said: Because Drogon became political, and realised it was the throne that killed Daenerys, not Jon. . . .

Erkan12 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yup, Drogon understood that Dany's obsession to the Iron Throne killed her, not Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
