Fans of ‘Game of Thrones’ don’t miss any. With the start of the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’, a discussion has been revived about a controversial aspect of George RR Martin’s original series.
Sundays have become a favorite day for fans of George RR Martin’s work. The subscribers of Max They are waiting for the arrival of the last day of the week to be able to enjoy a new episode of the second season of House of the Dragonthe prequel to game of Thrones. Another week in which the production will continue to be one of the most viewed series on the streaming service.
Once again, the most recent episode of House of the Dragon left everyone on edge. Titled “Rhaenyra, the Cruel”, The 69-minute episode showed the character played by Emma D’Arcy question Daemon’s loyalty, while Otto is carrying out a plan to turn the public against her. Once again, revenge became the driving force of the history of Westeros.
After the intense start of the second season, fans of the series have had the opportunity to review in detail every aspect of the chapters released so far. In the episode with which the second installment began, There was a brief dialogue that went unnoticed by many, which brought a six-year-old problem back to the surface..
Between the end of the first season and the beginning of the second, we see Aegon’s Greens and Rhaenyra’s Blacks seeking allies for the coming war. Because of this, Jacaerys Velaryon, the first son of the rightful queen, was sent to Winterfell to negotiate the support of House Stark, at the time represented by Cregan.
During the negotiation, Cregan says he will give some older warriors, known as Whitebeard, to Rhaenyra, as he needs his best men to protect the Wall.. Seeing that Jace did not understand the reason for the protection, Lord Stark explains it to him: “My father brought King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne to see the Wall. His Highness made his debut in this very place and saw how his dragons, the greatest power in the world, they refused to cross it. Do you think my ancestors built a wall of 500 cubits to protect us from the snow and the savages?”
If you were wondering how Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons crossed the Wall?, then you may have noticed the debate that arose again. The Wall was no problem for Daenerys’ (Emilia Clarke) dragons to cross and save the North from the threat of the White Walkers, but not without paying a high price.
This happened during the seventh season of the original series, although the problem arose a year after its broadcast when George RR Martin published “Fire and Blood”, where Alysanne’s dragon did not want or could not move further from the wall. We now know that Vermithor, the dragon Daemon was awakening in the last episode of the previous season, also refused to breed with him..
Due to this feat, many believe that the production of the series made a mistake with this scene in the seventh season of game of Thrones. However, there is about two centuries of difference between both moments and things could have changed in that time. Perhaps, the Wall could have lost some of its magic in “A Song of Ice and Fire” and the dragons could pass through it without major problems..
