Well, doesn't it look explosive because it going off pushes off a wave of air or something? It's called wildFIRE, not wildexplosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Eyes Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 I wanted to test something with that; how would everyone react if Daenerys killed herself during The Bells... by complete accident. Say she's right where she was after taking the city, just before she starts burning everything, and one of the gusts of flame Drogon had accidentally sets off one of the wildfire caches. Would it kill her and what would the reaction be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Fireproof Dany was a silly idea, but yes, I think in the show's continuity, the blast from wildfire could kill her. Bizarrely, they never had her chained to Drogon or wearing armour, so a blast could have knocked her off quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have an in-universe explanation: how many books are there about the Targaryens riding dragons? She's not exactly the reading type in the first place, and she wouldn't have much access having spent much of her early life on the run. You can't use what you don't know about.

Rose of Red Lake Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If she survived, she should at least have a lot of burns. Dany should be looking pretty grotesque at the end of all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lannister Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I mean when that Dothraki temple was burning and Dany was just standing there naked like a badass... I was half waiting for a wooden beam to fall down and crush her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your quote reminds me of the time when me and my father were finishing up yardwork and other projects, and we walked out to throw stuff into the recycle. We were about twenty, thirty feet away when we heard a crashing noise, came back and saw that the brackets holding the ladders above the shed doorway failed. It would have been entirely unlucky thing (and painful too, those were good sized ladders) to be leaving 20-60 seconds later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ties into something my own father told me. He's a firefighter and he told me what scared him in a burning building wasn't the fire itself but the building falling down around him.

I would think that all of being in a burning building would be frightening, but I suppose the building falling a larger risk than the fire. Depends.

But yeah, in season 7, during that pitched battle against the Lannisters and the Tarlys, there's no reason why she would be unarmed in a dress, no matter if it is a dress made out of multiple layers of boiled leather. That was crazy! You would think she would start wearing armor after her close call with Jaime Lannister yet...there we are in the season 7 finale with Dany pulling off the world's strangest, fastest, most impossible solo rescue mission in yet another dress. One of the three things that I liked about season 8 is how we finally saw Dany pick up a sword and fight. It's going to happen in the next two books (she's a dragonrider warrior-queen...

I mean I kinda did like that wintery outfit she had(though it's silly she apparently had a custom outfit ready to go just in case she flew north), but yeah... I think she could've pulled off some armor nicely. Even if it was just some leather or something. Seems you'd want something if you were flying around on a huge arrow magnet. Dany should've came to that conclusion after the Harpy attack in the arena. I would've preferred her hair to have burned too. It would've been a nice reminder to the audience over a period of time and it's always nice to see consequences on screen. Even the abridged version of Cersei's hair getting shorn stuck around for the rest of the series as a visible reminder of Cersei's shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean MMD died when she hatched the eggs and as other pointed out all those Kal's dead when she burned the temple, so I think she would have to be actively seeking and achieving someone else's death in the process of getting hit with the wildfire.
