Balerion’s a big guy

remind me the budget of the hobbit?

in the books
>dragon scales are notoriously impossible to break through and no amount of ballistas could bring one down
>the only time one was ever brought down by such an invention was with a one-in-a-million shot where the dragon was sniped in the eye, and some believe it's not even true due to how legendary and lucky the shot is

in the show
>lol fucking bronn can bring down a dragon
>btw lets not forge dragon armor after discovering dragons can be harmed by these things
>lol ice man spear explodes dragon's heart and kills it instantly
>lol thousands of wights and their swords can stab and penetrate through dragon scales no problem
>lol a dragon can be killed by rapidfire ballistas being shot from 100 miles away in succession, all perfectly aimed despite the distance, speed of the moving dragon and up-and-down movement the ships would have due to the waves

Giant dragon that could melt stone.

>s2
>if you have real soldiers manning the catapults, you will hit your target 1 time out of 5

>s8
>super precise ballistae killing dragon at very high speed

literally just a load of them and one really big one

The real answer for the show is the scorpions/ballistas are only a recent invention.

Also:
>in the books, their blood is like lava. When an immature Drogon was pierces by a spear, the tip completely melted because of how hot the blood was and it was smoking heavily

>in the show, they have normal blood. They aren't fire made flesh.

How the fuck are dragons killed in the books then

Takes one to know one!

Balerion died of old age (he was 200), one of them died by being pierced in a trick shot, I think a few of them killed each other during Dance of the Dragons (a Targ civil war), and they started getting progressively weaker and dying earlier probably cause the maesters were poisoning them.

there was a targ civil war where the dragons killed each other off
then after that when there was no need for dragons to be on the front lines they kept them caged up in big pits which stunted their growth, until finally they all just died out

they are so overpowered they had a magic horn that controls them (or it destroys the wall)

Nah, someone posted an excerpt from the books, and they had scorpions back then too, but the dragons were older and had thicker hide

I unironically cried.

Targ's dragons were more numerous and a lot older (ergo a great deal larger).

Dorne had scorpions already during Aegon's conquest, but they only managed to kill single dragon due to lucky shot in the eye.
So either Dany's dragons are much weaker, D&D are hacks or both.

Was I supposed to feel bad when this abomination died? All these things have done is burn people to death. Good riddance.

it's pretty stupid how fucking easy it is to kill dragons all of a sudden

In the books Dany's dragons eggs are said to be "eons" old, so it doesn't seem like they would be older and thus bigger

It's neck not brain but yeah, shit writing

Is this the new got/Chernobyl crossover episode?

Aegon had only 3 dragons during conquest just like daenerys. They were much larger though.

Not an option, senpai.

Is it confirmed that they were larger?

That's the fucking point you retard

Imagine being Dany. Imagine unironically owning two deadly army forces and three dragons. Imagine having the equivalent of a nuclear weapon while everyone else is fighting with swords and arrows. Imagine losing it without conquering a single city,

>One guy nails three perfect shots in a row on a flying dragon from a rocking boat while they apparently also behind a cliff from a mile or more off
>Entire fleet misses dany and drogon moments later while they're lined up directly in front of them

What an absolute madlad.

There's Balerion's skull seen in early seasons and it's the size of a car. Dany's dragons are supposed to be teenager-age

If the writing wasn't shit, she would have flown to Red Keep and nuked it the moment she found out Cersei betrayed them. It's already canon they can fly from Dragonstone to beyond the Wall in a single day, so why the fuck not

>Imagine being Dany

yes khal drogo fuck me in the ass!

Do you ever wonder why that's the first thought that came to your mind in a conversation about dragons in a tv show?

Because that's what literally happened in episode 2 of the entire series.

There's nothing wrong about wanting to be powerfucked by a strong, domineering male

the scorpion is supposed to be ineffective against dragon scales, but show dragons are more leathery than scaly

>shit, how do we get rid of these fucking dragons so we can get to telling our story about strong womyn?

we'll nerf the most reasonably strong one, they'll like it for sure!

Bigger. One character observed that Balerion’s maw is so big that a mounted knight could ride into it.

I’d have actually been OK with that.

The ballista would still penetrate the dragon's armor. If anything, it would only make the dragons slower and less mobile.

HE DIDN'T FLY SO GOOD

Age gives dragons harder scales, size and strength. Dany's dragon are teenagers, Aegon had a dragon that was 100 years old.

You just wait until next episode when a plot armoured drogon destroys all of euron's fleets without a single scratch

The scorpion that Qyburn made is a newer model.

Does anyone have the vocaroo saved?

First arrow's trajectory seems almost horizontal. Flying ships?

Westerosi didn't have d&d qyburn

They just have missile guidance installed

Aren't dragon scales much stronger than steel? How the fuck would armor halp him at all. Also they were above see and there would be no way to cover it's wings so he'd die regardless.

Attached: qt servant.png (1065x962, 698K)

also how would it fly with so much extra weight on it

just a crumb of pussy k-kaleesi

...

Would have been tons better if only to show the dragons arent the only big uglies in the world.

"Euron kind of forgot that dragons are invincible to projectiles, especially while flying."

Maybe a vest covering the vitals and head much like modern soldiers don’t wear a full head to toe suit since it’s to heavy and impractical.

They weren't worried about casualties

yes

That thing was made of the only metal that can pierce white walkers, of course he was impervious to anti air artillery, don't use it as the default dragon

They even look mean when they're dying. Cruel ugly monsters. I'm glad this happened

KEK. Scene: dragon flying across the sky over Kings Landing, dangling a cigarette and with a cocked-to-the-side helmet with an Ace of Spades stuck in the band and open flak vest as "It Ain't Me" plays

That's xcom baby!

because Aegon had a proper western army not some worthless eunuchs and horseniggers

A least the first dead dragon was from something the show had been building up to as a real threat at that point

At this point, anyone who stands for this hideous show,is a braindead faggot

everybody said Euron was dumb for taking Naval ideas but who's laughing now bitch?

come on nigga, there are way more legitimate things to complain about in this shit show

Kinky

Didn't a bunch of fucking fleabottom peasants kill a dragon in Kings Landing once? They're always either crazy powerful or weak as shit. Whatever the plot needs. Pretty much every dragon in fantasy has always had a ridiculous weakness that had to be exploited in order to kill it.

It was said that smallest of Aegon's dragons Vhaegar was big enough that mounted knight could freely ride into its open mouth.

Why did Dragon Bitch not add armor to her dragons when assaulting what amounts to a Citadel? What a waste.

Attached: 1546614805329.gif (220x242, 1.21M)

The armor wouldn't have to be super hard steel, it'd only need to deflect the impact just enough not to get impaled. Or it could just breathe fire at the arrows and turn them all to dust before they hit.

Attached: mild concern.jpg (418x450, 28K)

Those were young dragons that were raised entirely in dragon's pit which made them weaker than normal. There was only one adult dragon that broke the chains and collapsed the dome which killed it along with those peasants.

>Daenerys says the dragons are her children
>barely shows emotion when they die

I make this face when looking in the toilet after taking a shit

get dunked nerd

why did I laugh really hard at this

>writesplaining
I want to get off this ride

Because your humor is reddit tier

>So either Dany's dragons are much weaker
They are and it makes sense that a well placed shot, close to the catapult, on their belly would do damage. But the accuracy they had and the effective range shown on the show is a joke, which is why you pointed out that:
>D&D are hacks

ancient targs weren't up against the inventions of baste da vinci Qyburn....also, sunspears were able to use spears to fend off dragons. dragons aren't invincible. look at what happened to durrrrnayres in the fighting pits of mareen. drogon almost got btfo by spears alone.

t. showfag, never read books, watched shows for free at ex-mommygf's apartment

That is literally an anti-air platform.

>he thinks it's a tank

I cant believe Dany refused to get her Dragons vaccinated against ballista because she didnt want them becoming autistic. What an absolute dummy mommy

I shuppose.

They had, Meraxes got fucked in the eye by one

GRRM has state before that the shot in the eye was a one in a million hit. Even he is smart enough to realize that hitting a mile high airborne target with a fucking cross bow isn't going to happen.

Somebody please add m-mommy subtitles to this scene.

in the books dragon scale is way tougher than armour

caging them in the pits doesn't stunt growth, we learn this when Dany tries it in Meereen. they were probably poisoned.

Dany's dragons are like what 3 in the books? The growth stunting wouldn't even have a chance to kick in

Balerion was fed a metric tonne of tungsten a day while Aegon boned his(Balerion's) sisters on his back(at the same time).

Naval Ideas are really strong late game, if anything now is his time to shine.

For any nation trying to vie for global supremacy Naval ideas should always be in one of your final two slots.

You would need an incredible amount of metal to outfit the dragons. The forges would need huge amounts of steel, and it would take a long-ass time to make it effectively with moving joints, considering it's a fucking dragon.

But since time is meaningless they could probably do it

In our hearts

They made thousands upon thousands of weapons out of a new material in just a few episodes. For dragon armor though I think the bigger problem is weighing the dragon down.

Remember when he teleported away right after slave girl execution?

Balerion wasn't this big during the conquest. After it he got so big he could hardly fly, because of his weight.

He was a prisoner of Freys. Now that they're dead, he should be free somewhere.
I would've thought that he went to Winterfell since Tally's are all dead, but D&D probably forgot about his existence.

that's not a tank, you dummy. that's a 2k22 tunguska, which fires missiles that have a range of ten kilometers. i doubt the dragons were in the fucking stratosphere

It was like 100 years old when the Conquest started so still fuck huge, it was the last living thing that saw Valyria as not a smoking crater
