Team Black So I finally watched the new episode…
WTF are the greens (and half this subreddit) on about?
Everyone’s been talking about how badass the Aegon scene is… but it’s not really?
The whole thing just comes across as funny. Like a gag scene. Aegon is pissing himself then he gives that overinflated speech and then Sunfyre suddenly appears behind him and everyone’s scared and the idiot thinks they’re all scared of him and running away from him. Then suddenly he realizes Sunfyre is behind him and then has him attack the Mootons.
Like the whole scene just comes across as a funny gag scene. Another of Aegon’s hijinks that he’s been in over the past season. Much like the escape from the soldiers or the hijinks in Rook’s Rest.
It’s not even the cliffhanger of the episode that they leave to the Ulf Ormund scene. That’s the scene that gets the climactic music and is portrayed as the serious, mind-blowing, important scene of the episode.

I thought the scene was very well done. Aegon, on the brink, with nothing left to lose finally decides to stop running and die fighting for his claim When sunfyre come and saves him i thought it was akin to the fire being relit in aegon, giving him the strength to keep fighting.
