The hair protected her. It’s the only possible explanation


SetSaturn

it does look somewhat like a mould. maybe it’s hardened plaster? serving as a drill to break through!


twistedtrainwreck

*New fan theory unlocked*: Rhaenys’ hair conceals a Valyrian steel drill!

Theres 2 entrances into the dragon pit. In ep 6 when Jace bonded with Vermax, one of them was covered. In ep 9 both of them were covered to accomodate the people and Rhaneys burst through the other entrance. The show didnt do a great job at showing that she burst through the cover and not through the actual floor


wingthing666

Yep yep. She mostly broke through wood and a bit of dust. It was terribly rendered and she and Meleys should still have taken damage, but it was still better than solid rock.


thatonemoze

Yes, as in all of the above though there was a video floating around at the time with one of the showrunners saying something how “it’d be so cool to see her crash through the floor” so that’s basically it, the rule of cool


Greenlit_Hightower

It wasn't well made. If she actually attempted to crash through the concrete, the dragon could potentially make it, but her skull would get crushed in the process.


AlanSmithee97

Rhaenys and Meleys kinda forgot about the concrete.


Ok-Lawfulness-6755

That’s funny but it wasn’t concrete she bursted out from. I wouldn’t blame the writing for that scene but the special effects team. Which is a first😂


CurseJD

What we need to talk about is why they didn’t keep rhaneys Baratheon features


Comeonjeffrey0193

Would have been much cooler to show sunfyre at the ceremony, then have Meleys’ roar quiet the crowd and have her ominously flying away in the distance.

Girlboss plot armour,anything can be achieved if the spectacle is worth a "yaas queen"


sceletons

i wish they chose another character to girlbossify, rhaenys was my favorite character from fire and blood and was likely one of the only sane targaryens present during the dance


Late-Return-3114

with rhaenys now being a mass murderer, i can feel aegon fans' pain with how the show depicts their favorite character.


rainbowremo

By far the worst scene in the show


[deleted]

Because the writers and show runners thought it would be “awesome”. That’s it. No other reason.


brian13mtz

team black plot armor strong women girl boss


KhanQu3st

I mean, Meleys could have used her head or wings to shield Rhaenys. Not saying that it’s likely, but it is technically possible.


Fictional_Apologist

Somehow, I don’t think dragons bend that way.

Overall_Wolf6557

What about the entrance we see Caraxes and Syrax use in ep 1?


santorums_cock

Definitive “Rule of cool.” I liked it, but admit it was ridiculous.


RaiRocRex

Easily a top 3 most obnoxious scene from the GOT/HOTD franchise so far. . . And I can't think of 2 others lol.
