Rose of Red Lake Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I was about to say it made sense in some small way - if my she can't have the throne, no one will - then I read the novelization of what happened by the other posters and it sounded so melodramatic and overly sentimental in the written form that I'm switching to the side of the people who say it's dumb as hell.

Naw. Drogon is a black dragon. Everyone knows black dragons are chaotic evil. Especially D&D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsc48 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 What would've been cool is if the dragons were "evil" and intelligent. In order to ride them the rider must psychically bond with them. Over time the dragon mentally dominates the rider turning them evil and controlling them. Wala: evil Daenerys. Naw. What we got was awesome. Nevermind.

The throne can always be rebuilt! Possibly from the weapons of the people who died fighting for Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Tyrion’s idiot cousin Orson Lannister, who was forever killing ants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoodedCrow Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well dragons are magic animals! I think it was heavy handed symbolism, and a way to end the series. The iron throne did need to go to bring forward a new dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then flew off to Asshai to ponder on the limits of artistic expression so he can critique the Karl Tanner scene and debate that it has no artistic merit to depict and glam up multiple rapes without exploring anything meaningful beyond 'Karl Bad'. Excellent! Tricky business, that, distinguishing yer common-or-garden sleaze from subtle comment on sexual violence as a paradigm of domination. I am confident, though, that Drogon's superb mind is up to that task. https://i.redd.it/aiar2wt49bz21.png And also, with regard to the search for deep meaning in general: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just does click mentally very cleanly. I always thought that Drogon destroyed the throne out of spite, in a "if Dany can't have it no one can" attitude, and the only reason Jon survived was because of his Targ blood- perhaps no Targ dragon can harm another Targ unless the bonded rider specifically demands it like in the Dance.

After Daenerys is slain, there is a quick moment that Jon and Drogon are face to face/eye to eye. (This moment was breathtaking and amazing and had me on the edge of my sofa!) Jon is ready to be incinerated. The blast furnace inside Drogan is heating up. The inside of his throat is beginning to glow. Jon is ready to die for killing his queen. Ready to pay that ultimate price....And in a split second Drogon turns from Jon towards the Iron Throne!!!! So amazing. It will be another amazing thing if we have a Drogon POV chapter or chapters in GRRM's continuation/conclusion!!!! What a moment!!!!! Are you being facetious, or do people like this actually exist?

That's in the epilogue to Dream, which is analogous to the one in Dance. It shows Dany living out her second life from her Blackwood half in Drogon.
