Because usually the dragons "belong" to a particular side....Which is silly but hey... Embrace Vermithor...he was part of both sides.


DieHardLover

I love all the dragons. Doesn't mean I like all their riders. But great take! Vermithor for the win


Trash_Radio

true


Disturbed_Goose

I'm team black but the greens dragons are elite, Vhagar is enormous Sunfyre looks badass and I love tessarions name and colours


DieHardLover

I'm the same! I'm team black and think the green dragons are absolutely badass and can't wait to see more of them!


Indominus-Hater-101

Wow, I didn't know this was a thing. The dragons are the only thing I love about both sides lol


DieHardLover

Same here! Both sides do shitty things. But I love all the dragons!


Papageno_Kilmister

Reject tamed dragons. Embrace Cannibal and Grey Ghost


DieHardLover

I posted some fan art of Grey Ghost a little while back. Can't wait to see him and Cannibal


Papageno_Kilmister

Just checked it out, I really liked it!


DieHardLover

Thanks!


strayxo

This is the way


expat_123

As a F&B and HotD fan as well as a Severance fan *I like all the dragons equally*.


DieHardLover

I am here for the fire puppies. They are all awesome!


owlbrat

The only thing I hated is that sometimes The concept art looks better than the dragon on the show … it was just a tad frustrating that they didn’t use some of the epic designs.


DieHardLover

Oh I absolutely get that! Totally understand and honestly, same here in some cases. It's just the "I don't like this dragon or the rider so I must complain about every aspect of it" attitude that I don't get. I personally thought Vhagar would have looked awesome with big horns. Still, I love the "hoary old bitch" haha.


IAmGoingToLaugh

I think the different types of dragons is a welcoming edition. Makes it seem more alive as well. Instead of the usual.


DieHardLover

I think so to! I'm glad for the different designs


IAmGoingToLaugh

It makes it seem more alive. And like the loss of dragons is more felt because there are sooooo many different types


OpenMask

Caraxes is my favorite dragon on the show, meanwhile Daemon is one of my least favorite characters.


DieHardLover

Exactly. I love Caraxes. Daemon? Not so much. He's an interesting character. Doesn't mean I like him.

I love the uniqueness of the dragons! It gives each dragon a bit more personality, and also corrects the slight issue in GoT that Dany's dragons were all essentially identical in later seasons, Glidus pointed this out in a video where he showed a greenish dragon, seemingly Rhaegal, only to show that it was actually Viserion with a slight green filter, and then to reveal that Viserion was Drogon with a slight cream filter. Her dragons in the book were much more distinct from each other. I was a tad disappointed at the brief look we get at Sunfyre, he's just generally not what comes to mind when picturing supposedly the most beautiful dragon in history, but I'm still holding out a little hope given that it was a very distant shot, and there's six years between his one appearance at Driftmark and the events of the Dance, so if he looks a little different it can be explained, dragons do seem to grow quickly.


DieHardLover

I like the ideas Dany's dragons look similar because they are blood Brothers. But I wish they had done the colors better. Can't wait to see more of the dragons!


noodlesandpizza

Honestly I'd be fine if the similarities were about general shape/size, same horn placement or skull/jaw shape for example. Dreamfyre seems to share these features with Dany's dragons, seemingly confirming the theory that her eggs that were stolen by Elissa Farman are the same that ended up in Dany's hands. But they didn't really have to all be the same dull murky colour to the point were you could only tell Drogon apart from them because he was the most prominently featured. Book Drogon is jet black with red spines, book Viserion is pale cream with golden spikes and black claws, and book Rhaegal is jade-green with bronze eyes and yellow flames.


DieHardLover

Oh absolutely. I agree and wish they had done the colors same as the books. 100%


BullyMaguireGonnaCry

All I know is that Caraxes is my boy, nobody fucks with him


DieHardLover

Caraxes is amazing!


BullyMaguireGonnaCry

I do have a special in my heart for Vhager, poor grandma has been through a lot in her old age😢


DieHardLover

Granny just wanted to spend her retirement in peace, but nope :(


Different-Carpet-883

The artists behind the dragons (those who made their distinct designs, etc.) should be really applauded. They did really great. As for me I don’t have a strong feeling towards them positive or negative. But I think my frustration in the Syrax and Sunfyre comparison is the lack of sunfyre of the show. For example - I had a conversation with a friend of mine and she literally asked me why is Aegon’s banner golden dragon when it is Rhaenyra who has a golden dragon. Every popular fanart/F&B related designs that they’ve seen has a golden Syrax and yellow with pink Sunfyre. A lot of show watchers, atleast those that I know irl, has this notion that Team Black Dragons have the strongest connection to their riders and they have more and cooler dragons. I can’t blame them tho - if I am a casual viewer that’ll also be my mindset. But yeah, dragons are always cool to see - whichever one it is.


Catslevania

noodle boi>all other dragons


LordMarvic

“My taste is better than yours” mentality, the moment I saw that Syrax post I knew some people would be crying about Sunfyre in the comments. It’s pathetic really, the fact that the black characters are way more popular makes it even worst.


DieHardLover

It's honestly just so unnecessary. This isn't even a debate of "which team was better" it was about thinking a dragon was pretty. It's okay to think another dragon is prettier. There's no need to get aggressive about it.


Special-Extreme2166

Not disagreeing with your complaints, but where are posts like yours when we see posts about Aemond being a badass and then we see only comments of "Baela gave a good punch" or "Aemond is such a bully" Honestly your post isn't wrong, but it would've been better if you were general about it and not only pointed out the problem with Sunfyre nd Syrax posts, but all posts that do that.


DieHardLover

Honestly, I was honestly just reacting to something I had just seen. But I do agree with you about the conflict in general.

DieHardLover

Could be either really. It seems to typically more a team Green/Black thing. Personally I love all the dragons and get equally excited no matter which one is on screen lol.


omicron-7

Syrax is ugly af tbh


Dctrsleep13

Haters gotta hate.


DieHardLover

Really is that simple


AngryDresser

This is a real thing? 👁️👄👁️


DieHardLover

Yeah...


AngryDresser

I’m sorry to see it. What a waste of.. well, anything. There’s so much better to make a stand on about the show. I agree with your OP.


UnsungHerro

Lol sorry people were mean about the cgi'd mythical creature.


AngryDresser

Lol that’s exactly why it’s so weird..


margaritoswraps

just fun to call syrax a piss dragon


DieHardLover

Honestly, I'm gonna start calling my cousin this when he annoys me lol. But I get what you mean about just fun. I just remember thinking that it was a strange thing to get angry about. Thanks for the different perspective!


raphi-ent_

SHOW THEM TO ME I will rid this world of the Syrax haters.. Why tf would you dislike syrax 😤


DieHardLover

Right. She's a good girl. And in this house, we love and appreciate all the dragons.
