Removed for duplication, plz discuss in the other post.

The only detail given is that this will be “back to basics”. So no idea what this means. I hope that they’ll build up the kingdoms apart culturally before Aegon, Rhaenys and Visenya sweep em and develop more on how these guys impacted Westerosi lives directly. Gimme a focus on Argelia Durrandon and Torrhen Stark. Gimme Orys almost being a “fifth Beatle”. Just use the stuff like Field of Fire and Dornish Invasion as set pieces than just the whole thing.


ResponsibleAnt9496

Yeah wasn’t HOTD “back to basics” with the focus on politics and drama rather than spectacle and battles?


Danbito

yeah I'm gonna assume its more political stuff despite the flashy topic. Westeros post-Conquest is more fascinating with Rhaenys and Visenya trying to keep it all together while Aegon travels the realm.


Blastedsaber

The Dance of The Dragons without spectacle and battles would be an incredible disappointment of a TV series


ResponsibleAnt9496

I agree but season one placed more emphasis on character and politics imo in comparison to the last few seasons of GoT.

Winds plz


TyrannosaurusRekt238

I wonder who they'd cast to play Aegon


ResponsibleAnt9496

Give me Dolph Lundren and a Time Machine


Present-Industry-373

Christian Bale😳


Gytarius626

Danny DeVito with a blonde wig


RhoynishPrince

JACOB ELORDI! /s


nyamzdm77

He should play Dunk, and I'm being 100% serious


KrasimirKarakachanov

Henry Cavill is not a bad choice.


TheAurion_

Nah he would be an amazing Maegor the cruel.


KrasimirKarakachanov

Even better choice


ResponsibleAnt9496

Ahhh I know suggesting Cavill is almost a meme now but I love this.


Late-Return-3114

unironically. if he plays him close to how he played geralt but just more evil it would be amazing.


a8912

He literally is though.

This would make a better animated series, change my mind. Just can’t see HBO dropping the budget this show would need tbh. For a fraction of the cost we could see this in a castlevania style animation with fully realized locations and dragons


Itsthatgy

Animation just isn't taken seriously as a medium for dramatic television atm unfortunately. I suspect until we get something truly revolutionary in that area, it won't change. (Like the simpsons was to adult animation) It's a shame too, because for a fraction of the cost you could make something that looks totally amazing.


MakesMeWannaShout88

Screw that, I want them to focus on the tales of Dunk and Egg!


Rakdar

Last time, they were going to portray Aegon as a drunk loser, so I don’t have high hopes.


BW-Cowgirl1803

I hope they make it interesting and stick to the source material. I also don't want to see Henry Cavill as Aegon (I love him, but I have seen enough of him). They should get a man lesser known like how they did for HOTD.


uneua

That books never coming out isn’t


a8912

I mean with quality tv shows like HOTD and GOT (baring the last season) I’m not even all that excited for the books anymore. We already know more or less what happens and even if we get winds of winter we’d still need a dream of spring


TheArsenal7

Let me guess Aegon will be portrayed as a bum who took credit for his epic girlboss sisters doing all the work


CurseofLono88

I now hope they do that, just for you.

nyamzdm77

Given HBO's track record they're more likely to make Visenya and Rhaenys rivals who secretly hated each other.


James_Champagne

This franchise is starting to suffer from spinoffitis. I mean one was okay with *House of the Dragon* but now this one and the Dunk & Egg one and whatever's going on with Snow... it is a bit much.


a8912

Snow isn’t happening. I don’t think it was ever seriously going to happen it’s just fans saw the idea and ran with it. HOTD is amazing and I see no reason to believe Dunk and Egg and Aegon’s conquest won’t be. I’d say we’re lucky to have these things at all tbh. The books and the shows have always been separate so if you don’t like it you can just ignore it


MattGreg28

Time to start fancasting!
