It has been 4 days since Game of Throne’s final episode came out on HBO and perhaps one of the million dollar questions in the finale was why didn’t Drogon kill Jon Snow for assassinating Daenerys, he’s beloved mother? Well, there are numerous theories surrounding the incident, but of course, all of these can be nothing more than speculations. For sure, no one knows the real reason since Drogon, being a dragon, can’t talk nor write, and he can only be read through his terrifying angry facial expression and deafening growls. And, judging from those actions, we can safely say, he’s definitely mad at Jon Snow for killing Daenerys and it looks as if he’s ready to burn him to a crisp. But surprisingly, although he did breath fire, narrowly missing Jon and almost frying him, he redirected his flame to a different direction, first by blasting through the walls before targeting the Iron Throne with such fury.
Perhaps one of the reasons why Drogon didn’t toast Jon (aka Aegon Targaryen) was because he had somehow developed a bond with him. Throughout GOT’s history, the Targaryen bloodline seems to be the only ones capable of taming dragons. Earlier in the previous episodes, we could recall that Drogon allowed Jon to pat him back at Dragon Stone, and it’s as if he had known him for quite a while, though that was only one of their earlier rare encounters. No one among Daenerys army could even come close nor would even dare approach Drogon as the majestic black dragon is hostile towards almost anyone aside from his dragon siblings and his assumed mother, Daenerys. But why did he approach Jon and allowed Jon to touch him? That was sort of an enigma. Well, this is just my personal belief but Jon was named Aegon by birth, and he was named after Aegon the Conqueror, the very same Aegon who bonded with a black dragon named Balerion (known as the Black Dread). Now, Balerion is identical to Drogon (the winged shadow). Could it be that the writers of GOT was trying to tell us that Jon and Drogon were the reincarnations, or at least, a portrayal of Aegon the Conqueror and Balerion? Could it be fate?
What’s more weird is that the Iron Throne, the seat made of the thousand swords of Aegon’s fallen enemies, and forged by Balerion’s flame, was melted by Drogon’s fire breath. Which seems to undo what Balerion did. And as Aegon I created the wheel that governs the seven kingdoms, Jon put an end to it. It’s as if history repeated itself, only this time, it was the exact opposite.
The last stare of Drogon at Jon gave out a facial expression of as if he was satisfied. It was like as if he was leaving a message saying “Hmp! Now, we are even!”. Since Daenerys died, no one could now sit on the Iron Throne. Perhaps, that action was something made out of defiance. The dragon was smart to know that the Iron Throne was the reason why they kill each other, and ultimately is the very thing that led Daenerys to her madness and her doom.
Now that we have given a possible explanation to Drogon’s strange action, it’s time to go to the next question… when Drogon shoots out a powerful napalm stream into the Iron Throne, why didn’t it flew away? I mean, in the last episode where Daenerys and Drogon were on a killing spree, burning down King’s Landing and fulfilling his late father’s wishes, Drogon’s jet fire seem to blast walls and make bricks explode. There was even a scene where his dragon fire slices through and cuts a tower of the Red Keep in a single sweep. The force of his flame was so strong that it was able to demolish the Red Keep in a short span of time. Surely, a blast of its flame could send the Iron Throne flying instead of melting it in place.
I also found it weird that Daeny’s army, after being reported to have been depleted had somehow respawn. In a scene when she announces world domination, her army had grown in size even after having most of it got massacred by wights earlier in Winterfell.
And in Winterfell, during their celebration of their victory over the white walkers, Daeny somehow manages to sneak in and get herself a Starbucks coffee. See the picture to the right. Could it be an Easter Egg? Well, it’s kinda late for that though, and April fool’s is also over.
Oh well, since we already have dragons, magic, undead, green seers, white walkers, and gods in GOT, who needs Science to explain these paranormal events, right?
