seminoles1 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Whoever wants Arya to marry Gendry or thinks she should understands absolutely nothing about her as a character. It'd be very disappointing if they just resurrected another dragon. Do we want to recycle any other major plot points while we're at it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to kill a dragon so they could make it more conceivable that Cersei is actually a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very aware she has no interest in being a classical lady whose only purpose is churning out heirs. I'm also very aware that her entire purpose right now is to eliminate those on her list, and that's been her entire purpose from the get-go. Once that purpose is fulfilled, your theories hold as much water as anyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder how Aegon conquered the 7 Kingdoms with 3 dragons, or why Dragons are even feared in the first place if they're so damn easy to kill.

They’re not. First dragon, sure, NK has super human type strength and that spear probably was somewhat magical. But the second dragon dying from 100s and 100s of yards out from arrows? That would never happen. So many things for shock value this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's never wanted it. It goes completely against her character to have her do that in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bigger problem (other than those seemingly being way more accurate and powerful than when they hit Drogon) is how they didn't see the fleet waaaay before the fleet saw them, much less way before the fleet was in range with those scorpions.

If this show has done anything consistent from day one, it's indicate that classical norms mean squat with this lot of folks. Hell, she could return to Storm's End and train a friggin' army of assassins there while being married to Gendry still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with 3 though. Horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really against the idea of those things killing the Dragons, because the entire show is built on the premise that Dragons are really overpowered, and she has THREE of them. Well, a couple months later she now has 1. Also, Varys would've known about the fleet because HE LITERALLY FREAKING TOLD EVERYONE that Cersei's army is no reinforced by the Golden Company, who arrived via Euron's fleet. It's 100% poor writing that they "forgot" about Euron's fleet, considering it's now wiped out the Unsullied or surprised them THREE times.

They’re not “so damn easy to kill”. The Night King has magic powers and Qyburn literally had to invent an entirely new weapon to take down a dragon.
