He got hit in the shoulder with a massive 12 foot barbed ballista bolt. Initially, you think a dragon that large will probably be just fine.... EXCEPT, Qyburn is renowned at making magic strength super powered poisons.....
My bet is the ballista bolts were poisoned with that same enchanted manticore venom that killed the Mountain. I bet Drogon will die a slow agonizing death from poison and probably be out of commission.
Daenerys will probably have to use her two smaller, less powerful, dragons at this point. And I'm guessing all the dragons before she becomes the regent.
Drogon from a poisoned ballista bolt. Viserion vs the night king..... and lastly Rhaegal will die in the fight for Kings Landing.
You also have to consider that Khal Drogo, Drogon's namesake died from a poisoned wound to the shoulder. GoT loves synchronicity and a type of cyclical history. And all the named animals, from all the direwolves to the dragons, seem to have prophetic names to their story arcs.
Wow, it stings to have my first and only Sup Forums thread dead on arrival... I can't be the only guy wondering this...
David Miller
you're putting too much thought into this show
Oliver Edwards
Drogon will be grounded for a bit while his wing heals. Now would be a good time for the lannistars to move in with multiple ballistas for the kill
Carson Ross
how big is his dragon dick?
Jeremiah Carter
Drogon is going to die from that wound. He'll die from an infection.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
but the other 2 dragons are already used as transport vehicles to carry all the dothraki and their horses
Jaxon Roberts
It's not a shitpost or a meme, that's why you're thread is dead on arrival.
Josiah Myers
possible but there was no mention of poisoning the bolts. would feel thrown without thought if they did that. He will probably die by bolt(s) in an upcoming battle if not the final one.
Angel Ward
How long are those dragons supposed to live anyway? And who lays the new eggs?
Luke Taylor
Dany does
Jayden Turner
Shit that makes too much sense. sleep tight droggo.
Joseph Kelly
Those aren't the only dragons there are. Some live in Old Valeria
Landon Evans
your logic is sound but the show is written by DABID and is made to appeal to the normie demographic with short, sweet quips and/or action scenes that are easily gif-able to be shared on Twitter. plot development and realistic character reactions are secondary to making sure things are easily digestable and sharable on social media
what I am trying to say is he'll be fine by season's end and no one will mention it ever again
Kayden Rogers
The whole point of that was to show Dani the ballistas exist. Now she won't bring her dragons into battle.
Kayden Thomas
If Drogon dies after his first fucking battle it would be the biggest letdown ever.
Levi Lewis
Confirmation bias.
Aiden Brooks
They live forever and get bigger and bigger.
Cooper Lopez
that wasn't his first battle though
Adam Turner
I just realised how stupid this fucking faggots name is. Drogon? Seriously. Fuck you GRRM you fucking hack.
Evan Perez
Balerion lived for 200 years
Austin Perez
Did that bald Tarly guy die or no?
Mason Cook
First real battle, unless you call the turkey shoot in Slaver's Bay a battle.
Dylan Smith
Normies are raving about last night's episode, just check twitter. Many are proclaiming it the best episode of television ever.
Why does everyone here seem to hate it? Serious question, I'm new to these parts
Aaron Rogers
i don't hate it, i actually liked the battle, it was the first scene i've liked involving dany since astapor in season 3.
Eli Butler
It's just shitposting. The more shitposting you see about a subject on Sup Forums the more they actually liked it. >Lets make dozens of GoT threads because we hate it so much
Parker Wood
The first 7 words of your post are the answer to your question
Matthew Carter
>listening to stupid people
Jaxon Baker
Having watched the final battle 3 times now, I can say that that fucker got scorched. I don't know why I'm the only guy that saw this, but in the chaos of the battle it pans to a bald man in the same outfit as Tarly on fire, he looks to be very badly burned. He jumps in the river and then it pans to other soldiers fighting and getting massacred.
I think Tarly was very badly burned in one of Drogon's sweeps. Whether he lives or dies I don't know but it looked like he was jumping in the river to put out the fires.
If that's Tarly he's gonna be dead or griously injured at best. I think it is Randyll though, I don't know how I managed to be the only guy that saw it.
I think Bronn, Jaime, Dickon Tarley will be alright. Along with a fraction of the soldiers that promptly surrender to Dany's forces. Jaime Bron, Dickon, and the 1/20th of Lannisters that didn't surrender are retreating back to King's Landing.
Randyll will probably die in a dramatic fashion in the beginning of the next one.... Or he'll live as an even more hateful man that's as burned up as the Hound.
Tyler Reyes
It was actually one of the finest episodes of GoT ever.
See, here's the thing about Sup Forums. They are contrarian faggots. Whatever the established consensus is, they think they're cooler by going against it. This last episode was great. The last couple seasons were great. Everyone knows it, but they like scoring curmudgeon points by bitching about everything.
Ryan Parker
i have already given up all hope of decent writing in the show
Daniel Edwards
it's cool to hate the show here
I'm still amazed, so glad this show exists
yeah it could have been a lot better but there's nothing like GoT in media
Gavin Davis
he wasn't bald, his skin was literally melting off. Tarlys get roasted next episode.
Gabriel Hill
They are also claiming it puts the Ride of the Rohirrim/Pelennor Fields battle in ROTK to shame.
Jose Butler
I honestly don't think its technologically possible for it have been better. They bought a cutting edge helidrone to shoot Drogons POV and lit a record number of stuntmen on actual fire.
Liam Nguyen
>it's cool to hate the show here >it's cool to hate everything here
fixed it for you
Matthew Rogers
Rhaegal will become Jon's dragon after he sacrifices Dany to turn Longclaw into Lightbringer.
Lincoln Roberts
the pelennor fields battle sucks though. the ride of the rohirrim is the only good part of it. once the charge hits it gets incredibly stupid and they are just literally running into orcs knocking them over. after that it's the fucking stupid legolas elephant part
Connor Myers
Drogon the unimaginatively named dragon will become pregnant with Jaime's child. The spear was tipped with something, special, and like snails - dragon's are hermaphrodites and have their reproductive entrance on the side of their necks.
Jaime and Drogon will wed, and their son will become king of westeros.

Ayden Roberts
Danny claims they'll have no food >proceeds to burn all the food Tyrion says the Lannisters will be well prepared >They are not Jamie runs at Danny rather than throwing a spear >Dragon plot armor Bronn shoots Drogon and it only hits in the shoulder, after missing the first shot >Drogon can still fly and gives almost zero shits
Yeah nah it sucked
Landon Evans
The burned guy you saw was a regular Tarly. Actor's name was Enrique.
Owen Adams
helms deep is good, much better than any of the battles in RoTK. the battles in rotk are just too big, the scale of the helms deep battle is pretty much perfect, it's big but not completely overwhelming
Cameron Jones
>Thinking the show will do something smart and surprising
Nah, OP. That bolt is forgotten the next episode and never spoken about again.
Im so so sorry
Matthew Long
Isn't Drogon supposed to be black? Why is he brown?
Aiden Peterson
It was a heated battle for me. No puns intended.
Every time Bron came up I thought it was his end, fucker is my boy and fuck if he dies to a shitty lil dragon. The entire battle was actually fine, the Dothraki outnumbers the Lannisters and fuck them in the ass.
Samuel Rivera
Thanks for noticing. Almost all that you see was from real stunts and practical effects. There was fire all over on the set, smoke too. The bright and tall fire is cgi. They also had a special twin crane setup to film the dragon's passes. There was a lot of attention to detail, I think they could have edited it to be 5 minutes longer.
Mason Green
That's what makes the show disappointing a lot of the times. The scope in directing and special effects are better than anything that's been done on television before, but the writing and acting can be so bad that it drags it all down.
Austin Butler
True Targaryen's don't get sick and are fire immune. Dragonglass cures the stone disease. It's not that far of a stretch to think Dragon's are immune to disease and poison.
Asher Anderson
>Dragon's
Parker Gutierrez
That would be too smart for this show.
Carter Murphy
Actually it would make sense. You never saw Khal Drogo really fight or the Kingslayer. GRRM was really good at subverting expectations by giving the audience a taste of what they wanted and then taking it away or not giving it at all. To see the Dragons burn shit in every fight would be repetitive and stale. Giving us a taste and then having them gradually be taken away and forcing Dany to rely on other means to win the war would be good writing. But I doubt that will happen as the show keeps slipping in quality since the fat man quit writing for it.
Carson Long
...
Elijah Gray
I wonder how much poison you would need for a dragon? You would need a huge amount to coat many bolts. Not realistic. OP is faggot.
Jordan Brooks
Man they did a good job with the pyro. Honestly that episode was a GOAT for me just because of the absolute detail and effort that went into that battle.
Kevin Collins
The second and third episodes of this season were significantly better because plot relevant things actually happened.
Robert Johnson
Some of the actors are better than others. Some good stuff in the next episode. The writing for dialogue seems a lot weaker in #4 - my guess is that once they fan out of book material to use, they started to slip. When you have a chance, or when they are released, check out the behind the scenes for the battle. The ballista for example was built from scratch and fired - although not powerfully.
Anthony Brown
maybe they'll use the stonemen from the island as walking bioweapons against the white walkers - with friendzone as their stone-free leader
Cooper Smith
Dragons have fire for blood poison won't work.
Dominic Murphy
>autism_speaks.jpg he flies back to dragonstone in the very next episode
desu i'd be surprised if they ever mention ballistas again
Julian Sanchez
it was pretty dope you special snowflake cuck
Leo Morris
>They have a flamethrower crane
Cooper Harris
Because Normies only want a generic fantasy story where the "good guy" wins. And they see Daenerys as a feminist icon so naturally they equate everyone hating her character as a misogynist. Her fans are just fucking idiots. She's just as bad as the Sand Snakes.
Thomas Hill
>no webm
what is this, 2001?
Tyler Hall
You have a point with the synchronicity thing.m
>First Targaryen does the Field of fire against combined Lannister and Reach Forces >Dany repeats field of fire against Lannister and Reach forces
Adam Roberts
Glad you noticed. Really was film level, filmed from all angles with 5+ cameras at a time often.
Leo Lewis
i wish i was this autistic
Christian Stewart
They looked for a way to shift plot so Drogon would survive until the final season. Basically, Drogon gets wounded, which leads to Daenerys using Viserion as her main mount in pre-finale big battle that always happen. Viserion ends up being a poorly trained/insubordinate dragon to Daenaerys when she tries rescuing Jon Snow, and gets killed after being goaded into a trap, which forces her to flee on Rhaegal instead (but plot twist, Rhaegal responds to Jon Snow's commands instead of Daenaerys, causing her pussy to erupt in a waterfall).
Jon Snow is suspected to be a Targaryen at this point, and it is finally confirmed by autismo Bran in the finale.
Logan Hall
this is unironically great. say what you will about the direction of the show's writing but the special effects are usually top notch
shame they don't put the same effort into art direction and armor design anymore
Henry Cruz
It's like you're talking about me.
Lucas Miller
Appeal to young children is missing from this image.
Carter Brown
How much will the Lannisters pay out to the families of the burned soldiers?
Alexander Bennett

Jaxson Edwards
The show in general?
I think alot of it has to do with pandering, at some point it becomes so obvious that things happen purely to please the kind of people who "squee". Acting can be quite shit too. Stupid moments. etc.
Daniel Diaz
I thought that was meant to be Drogon just roaming the world.
Gavin Jackson
her three dragons are the only dragons in existence.
Hunter Brooks
It was ambiguous. But no one ever goes there because of stone men. Dragons could be there in what they consider their original homeland.
Gavin Ortiz
The armour in the battle was all pretty cool and looked good even close up.
Levi Johnson
You can't prove that.
Jason Gonzalez
that's literally the lore of the show and the book. They say it all the fucking time.
Brody Lewis
>Four hundred years before the War of the Five Kings, the entire Valyrian empire and almost all of its dragons were destroyed in a single day, during a cataclysmic volcanic eruption known as the Doom of Valyria. One Valyrian noble family, the Targaryens, survived the Doom on the distant island outpost of Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea - along with the last surviving Valyrian dragons. >One hundred years later, Aegon I Targaryen and his sisters used the last three surviving dragons in the world to conquer and unify the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. For generations, the dragon-kings ruled over much of Westeros - but the dragons eventually died out after nearly a century and a half, and the species was subsequently considered to be extinct
get fucked
Juan Brooks
Dragon will die Come back as a fucking ice zombie fighting for the night King
Screen cap this
Zachary Torres
I read the leaks too.
Screen cap this.
Christopher Watson
Yeah from the perspective of the people in the story who have never been to Old Valyria in decades because of stone men. It's like the writers of a story have never deliberately kept something hidden from the reader before
Leo Young
Drogon will be out of commission for a while, so she'll have to use the other two instead. They'll promptly be killed in big battles, and then Drogon will triumphantly return when they need him most.
Ryder Ortiz
I would love to make a story with a strong female leader that normies love, only to have her fuck up due to her own incompetence and die just to watch the normies cry

Where's my link to screeners subtle insider user?
Landon Ward
there's literally no reason for dragons outside of her three to exist. It's just your stupid head canon
Joshua Williams
Pretty sure the dragonglass candles only light up when dragons exist, they had been dormant for years but they can be lit now.
Cameron Nguyen
Dragon eggs were just dormant. They all woke back up around the same time.
That is all that is publicly available at the moment.
Dylan Ross
the writers would have hinted at other dragons being about if there were dragons
there are no dragons other than danys three
Charles Moore
No see that is head canon What I'm saying is speculation. It's fully possible there are other dragons But you saying 100% for sure there isn't is head canon.
Lincoln Lewis
Makes so is pregnant with 150 more eggs.
Jason Harris
Goddamn, I fucking hope so, that'd be fucking awesome.
Jose Moore
>It's fully possible there are other dragons this is literally head canon >But you saying 100% for sure there isn't is head canon. this is literally fact given in the book multiple times and reiterated through many methods. Please fucking kill yourself.
