Fans disagree with Rhaenys that Rhaenyra can take on Aemond on her own

Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen stands out as a complex character in the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon. Her affection and concern for her children are among the many redeeming aspects of Emma D’Arcy’s portrayal. This is partly why the Season 1 finale of House of the Dragon was profoundly moving. In Season 2, her aunt Rhaenys believes her wrath will see no bounds, even overcoming Aemond and Vhagar if need be.

Rhaenys thinks Aemond should be wary of Rhaenyra

In the premiere episode of House of the Dragon Season 2, Daemon urges Rhaenys to get on Meleys and fly with him. He criticizes Rhaenyra for going alone to get Lucerys’ remains, feeling worried about Aemond attacking her. Rhaenys calms him down by saying, “Then I would pity Aemond.”

Fans don’t think Rhaenyra herself is much of a threat to Aemond

Even though Aemond seems pleased that Daemon recognizes him, fans don’t believe the Vhagar rider should be worried about Rhaenyra and Syrax. They said:

Wouldn’t Syrax be able to land squarely on Vhagars back? Like size wise😭 she could just land and tear her apart from the back and they couldn’t do much against that

What is She going to do? Attack with Syrax? I can’t with the cringe dialogue

Easy fight for Aemond and Vhagar 😭

Rhaenys was not putting Syrax & Vhagar 1v1. She was referring to a mother’s grief & rage y’all.

On the other hand (fictional, like the show): it would be “fun” for Rhaenyra & Syrax to finally find Vhagar in the 1st 10 days; sneak/ ambush really well (& calculated) & flee.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 really the Granny of War against "Yellow wonder" poor Syrax but if locked Rhaenyea would be raging and poor Aemond couldn't sleep nor find peace

Syrax couldn’t even handle a couple of angry peasants.
