So let me get this straight, they been fighting for months, dragons and ships and all that, then dude gets mad for a sec and runs in alone, dodges 1000 arrows and wins the whole thing with the same decimated army he had the day before? Why? How? What is this bullshit?
So let me get this straight, they been fighting for months, dragons and ships and all that...
It's called strategy
Yeah. It was really retarded
The real question though is how the fuck were they losing in the first place? Americans during war on Pacific were literally using flamethrowers to clear out caves and suffocate the japs by flammenwerfering the entrance to burn out the oxygen, meanwhile the guy here has a massive flying flamethrower and somehow people can hide in caves on a tiny island from it and they cant figure out how to deal with it? Like all this nigga needed to do is land his dragon, go from one hole to the next, breath fire into each one and its gg
Twenty good men really do be like that
It’s called bad writing
This show got real shit real fast.
Ramsay tier plot armor.
It's called Deus Ex Machina, the oldest trick in kino
They were having trouble because the Crabfeeder and his troops were staying in the caves where the threat of of a dragon was neutralized. Daemon lured them out so that they could take them out in the open.
It's called plot armor and plot induced stupidity.
Can you guess whether or not this part of the plot was part of the book?
Hint, it wasn't
One thing I've never understood in ASOIAF world is how powerful dragons really are. It doesn't even make sense how Aegon conquered six kingdoms with three Dragons. The only way Dragons could be of any use in battle is if they are virtually imune to any missile weapons bar if they hit their eyes or mouth, but there's no evidence for that, quite the opposite actually.
>Crabfeeder and his troops were staying in the caves
What did they eat?
Crab.
Crab.
So Crabfeeder is a pirate , just burn his ships and leave him in his cave problemn solved
In medieval warfare a dragon is like a pocket napalm strike and even in modern warfare air superiority almost entirely determines the outcome of a war which is why we've reduced foot soldiers to specialized squads whenever we can.
Without Ballistas 1 single dragon should basically overcome 1:100 numbers.
The moment soldiers see a dragon breathing fire they will realistic shit themselves, break formation and be routed which was the overall goal of the famous cavalry charges (breaking formation, morale and causing chaos for the friendly foot soldiers to plow into, not killing).
Too powerful for the universe's own good, will inevitably cause it's destruction.
I think the fatso's point is that they are good in the sense that their strenght can create peace trough fear, but they are ultimately a bad thing that needs to be eliminated since no one should hold that kind of power.
We will never know if that's what he's going for though, because he wont' finish the fucking books.
it's literally vietnam. the crab guys were in caves and using guerilla warfare. the only reason they got the crab people out of the holes was by daemon being crazy and doing something that very very nearly got his ass slain
Balerion was so large that arrows were like mosquito bites to him
This, it's basically a nucealr weapon in the medieval age, not even a napalm strike or a bomber. The armies and technology of that era is completely defenseless against them and any peace talks would go like this:
>I have 10x your soldiers, 10 story tall walls, much more towns and populaces to supply my armies, 10x more war machines, supplies including food, and all my soldiers have much more expensive equipment than yours do
>I have a dragon.
>I surrender.
>fighting for months
Months?
The time skip was years. They have been fighting crab man who is stuck on some island for years.
That’s exactly are they are in the books
