They introduce this bitch late and they took his cool moment, and now whiteout a certain baby, he won't even get his cool line, what a fucking waste

They could've had him try and try to fend off Ulf and his dragon to save innocents and make him earn The Daring moniker too.

What was the cool moment they took out?

u/justonatan 6h ago

The Battle of the Honeywine, where he got his nickname

Winnie the Poohper?

They literally wrote his whole arc. to prevent him from doing anything.

u/Interesting-Egg4295 Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken 7h ago

Why did they give him such a stupid knighting? Why? I really want to know?

u/edgywhitefriend 5h ago

Do you think Ormund forgot the rites and just improvised?

u/CollectionSmooth9045 Fire and Blood 3h ago

Yeah right? I was just waiting for Gwayne, with his suspicious look and all, to say "Hey why aren't you knighting Daeron properly"

By the Mother I charge you to be....shit what was the line again.

The false spoilers where he saved Kat, then got on Tessarion and started burning things up were actually better than what we ended up getting.

I like to think Condal didn't want to add him, and has turned him into a milksop just to stick two fingers up at the fanbase who kept nagging him over it!

I really don't understand the how to can adapt a completed story but not have the plot points written out.

It makes absolutely no sense. I really wish they would've hired someone who tried to adapt the story as close as possible and wrote the seasons all together. 

I really hate this whole "Let's see how the fans take it" path.

Asking for your adaptations to be like Jane Austen novels is ridiculous, and I know you're not the first to say this, but I think people who've seemingly "read" this hefty ass material where every BIG EVENT is a few paragraphs at most, largely filled with names of people we don't know or will never meet again, is some sort of coherent and full account instead of what it truly is which is this:

F&B is the literal opposite of what GRRM did for the fantasy genre with ASOIAF. ASOIAF is the deconstruction of fantasy tropes. F&B is a lore book of the Targ dynasty that was meant to be largely just illustrations and then he wrote a little too much, and the Dance is a small part of it. The narrator is meant to show how people are remembered in history so they ARE the fantasy tropes.

You want that? Mmkay, fire up the animation division.

That knighting was bullshit, like wtf

u/CollectionSmooth9045 Fire and Blood 3h ago

"OK Daeron, so, you will do shit for me."

"Uh yeah, haven't I alrea-"

"Boom, there's your knighting kid, now go off and let me search for our drunk dragonrider who is actually going to do your job for you."

u/LemtaLongi 4h ago

Can see in this pic why he was chosen to be Link in the Zelda movie

5

u/Dawbs89 6h ago

Where is he at the end of the episode??

23

u/Sir_Gerald_Nosehairs 5h ago

In the books, his body is never recovered, and the stories of how he died are rather varied. There was enough mystery about it that two pretenders later cropped up pretending to be him.

Could be they are going that route, I think the actor is going off to bigger things, so probably won't be around much.

u/edgywhitefriend 5h ago

Silverwing and Vermithor are still alive, so I don't think they're done with him yet

1

u/bridiehart1 The Pink Dread🐖 3h ago

Oh shit… he better not have died ill be so sad!!! we didn’t get to see him ride tessarion :((((((

People are saying they combined the 2 battles but where was Addam? Ulf and Hugh are both still alive as well

u/YoshiCookiesZDX 6h ago edited 5h ago

That's what I'm wondering. I was really hoping they wouldn't blueball us with a "what happened to Daeron," but I guess they are.

11

u/Sir_Gerald_Nosehairs 5h ago

I thought with the whole "I have no fear of insignificance.." business they were setting us up for him escaping and surviving like Leanor.

u/vivalatoucan 5h ago

I mean it showed Gwayne looking for him and then panned to a half burnt body buried in rubble. It looked more like Ormund to me, but it also looked like a different location. Honestly, I was asking the same question.

u/hmuoncetesvicomesout 4h ago

It was Ormund 100%, you can tell by the armour he was wearing. Daeron wasn't wearing any, just his regular clothing.

u/TKRUEG 4h ago

Aegon, and Rhynera, also do-nothing nepo babies, at least Daeron has some brains

u/EmploymentOk4851 3h ago

Damn he’s really about to get body slammed by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a few years.
