HOUSE OF THE DRAGON: How this moment completes the Prince Who Was Promised Prophecy

Hey everyone, as you can probably tell we're trialling in video subtitles on this. Let us know if you'd prefer it without. Thanks - Paul

I only one that didn't know this was the GOT writer's.

For light bringer come for the key is too must kill beloved jon kill Dany

Jamie and Tyrion Lannister work it out that it was Joffery that gave the knife to the assassin to kill Bran. He overheard King Robert say that it would be a mercy if Bran died, so he did it to impress his father.

Though some might feel sceptical of it being john in the books, you say that after seven instalments have be written also it could be his son if he has one, no one said the night king would be defeated write away but its most likely john.

Going retcon it with the Night Queen it's all about John

Arya is not a PRINCE and she doesn't have Targaryen blood.
i believe they build up jon snow from the start as the Prince who was promised ....BUT THEN SEASON 8 !!!!
yeah that season with the LAME results. worse season ever. a lot of things did not make any sense and it feels like a lot of what would have been obvious was changed for SHOCK value.
which is why SEASON 8 SUCKS !

I mean let’s be honest here in both real world history and fiction; when has a prophecy ever fully played out without some twist that was unforeseen to everyone who knew it? I mean assuming that what the people long ago believed about it was true it would make sense. Prophecy has a deceptive amount of wiggle room for fate and other such ontological things. Just because the destination is told doesn’t mean that the road is guaranteed to be a straight shot. It bears consideration that to truly believe in prophecy you first need faith. Maybe that is why the most well known prophecies of the modern world are in the book of Revelations in the Bible.

Half of the actors and actresses can't come back in the sequel cause in real-life they let themselves go to bad 😅 Just go look up arya 🙁

Ok i truly don't understand arya is definitely not the prince she is not even targaryen let's address the killing the night king part if it weren't for jon everyone would be dead since he was the only one who bothered about the great war he united the north and south he was the one who risked his life to go to dragonstone ask for help of he hadn't there would be no dragonglass no dragons and considering that there only 3 things that can kill white walkers valerian steel
Dragonglass
Dragon fire
and there are few valerian swords no dragonglass or dragon
So completing the prophecy he did since he saved everyone there would be no one alive but he being the prince would suprising because the prophecy referred to a targaryen yes he is noble and a good king but he is not pure targaryen and has nothing similar to targaryens except his name
He doesn't have white hair
He doesn't own a dragon but a direwolf
He can be burned

Who's to say who's the villain here. I'm sure to the night King he's not the villain because he was forced

In all reality I think he still is the prince who was promise and Arya just kinda fulfilled her Own foreseen prophecy..remember when she was posing as a boy & she met the witch who told her you will close/kill the eye of those of brown & “Blue”? Or something like that..idk w.e 😂

Ending of GoT can not be justified on any ground.
GRR Martin narrowly missed chance to be one of the GOAT of fantasy genre writers 😒

It literally isn’t Arya though lol

Ugh, I actually like this theory a lot. It doesn't change anything of what happened, it only explains why the dagger was able to kill the night king. I mean, he's literally killed by the Song of Ice and Fire, yet no one knows... except for Bran, who gives the dagger to Arya, because he knows how it all is supposed to play.

It is for sure a retcon, yet it makes Bran's actions have so much more sense. It wasn't about Jon or Dany, it was about their blood. Azhor Ahai was made when Alicent killed her love for Rhaenyra.

Still doesn't make sense just because director n writer want to create unexpected things in se8 for audience instead of this they made a shit

I hope we see Daemon by the end of the Targaryen Civil War meeting the Children of the Forrest and they put dragonglass in his chest to keep him alive. Maybe he will be around to meet Jon Snow.

it was milisadre...think about it...

Actually the prince who promised was not Daenerys, Jon Snow, Arya. The real one was Brynden Rivers aka the Bloodraven.

I don't think these Prince that was promised prophecies are about Arya. I'm pretty sure HOTD actually contradicts GOT in some places because I'm almost certain the Jon Snow sequel series I'd actually going to address a lot of these continuity questions.

I like subs, sometimes I need to have the volume low and can't always hear, so they come in handy 🤙🏻

Everyone noticed jon snow hair?

I just think that Viserys should have retired ALL of the dream-theories/prophecies to bed after his wife and son died immediately after he told her that he had such a "vivid dream of our son being born wearing Aegon's crown" shortly before they both died. That, in and of itself should have made him put down the "dream-journal." 😄

That’s is the same knife that killed the Night King

Its Dany BECAUSE the prophecy stated the promised one WILL create Dragons from STONE. That's why R"rollor or whatever keeps trying to burn someone with Kings blood to wake dragons from stone THAT is Dany and only Dany.

because of how shit GoT was, I couldnt bring myself to care enough to pay ANY attention at all to HoD. Its going to suck.

We need Jon snow come back and be the king that whas promis in the book of ice and fire and he findt the last dragon his dragon

Well the blood gets stark blood on it when bran’s mother fights off the attacker. So it has Targaryen and Stark blood on it

Remember the baby that was changed from Living to Walker? Maybe that ties somehow? Considering the man in charge of running the baby factory with his offspring in the woods.. crazy. Mm just a thought 😁

Oh this was some random off thing tho the baby was made by the king or leader of the White Walkers.. wasn't it?

@Fernando Hernandez  You sound like a simpleton.

Did Arya figure out how to kill WWs? Did Arya figure out where the night king was all by herself? hunt him down all by herself? and assassinate him by herself? Or did others figure things out and create a scenario that provided her the opportunity to sneak up and stab him?

The same way a military at war provides a sniper with the opportunity to assassinate the enemy's leader.

Only a fool would think he won the war all by himself.

What I am concluding is… that I have to rewatch GOT because I was not paying attention to all the little things. And now watching HOD… yeah I need to rewatch. Lol

Season 8 makes HOT D not fulfill it's potential

In Fire and Blood, the dagger cut never happens. I think adding it into the show was smart in driving the plot forward and adding tension, but I don’t think the scene is connected to the prophecy. I do take the books as canon over the show though

The prophecy involved the prince who would bring them together and that was Jon

shakespear: The door is blue
English teacher: The blue color is significant for sky, it could be water, or it is the eye of a giant monster inside which we are living.....

Maybe it's not meant specifically for the person who kills the Night King. We saw that the knife has touched Targaryen blood. Maybe the prophecy was all about the Targaryens all along and the knife was blessed with the blood of the dragon. It was the Targaryen lineage that killed the Night King.

my god i think those ideas for the Jon Snow spin-off series were the worst i have ever heard…

They really just need to remake season 8. Just say it was a vision or something

Is the competition over?

Daenerys came from Viserys son Aegon and his sister Helaena, children of Alicent Hightower. Jon/Aegon came from Rhaenyra and Daemon.

This entire video is click bait. Smh

I mean we hear a somewhat part of the prophecy in the beginning at winterfell the story the nanny told the stark girl

Is this a joke video or just an uncreative clickbait? You said absolutely NOTHING about NOTHING.

People are missing the same aspect of the prophecy that all the Targaryens missed. They have it completely wrong, and have misinterpreted what was actually happening.

The darkness, was NOT the night king and the white walkers. It was misdirection. DANY AND HER DRAGONS were the darkness from which the prophecy spoke of, since she would of brought tyranny to the entire planet, NOT JUST westeros.

I think the prophecy was meant to refer to a time. and the specific darkness it was referring to, is the darkness that was born from their own line.

Think about it, Jon snow is the last in a line of the old guard of honorable heroes, that reaches back to the time of aegon the first.

Dany represents darkness because she is ultimately the culmination of generations of corruption and incest.

Jon snow, is literally the song of ice and fire being the product of a diluted blood line, the mixture of the dire wolf blood lined, and the traditions of the starks, balanced jon snow out in terms of his temperament, and his sense of right and wrong. And the targaryen blood line, that made him have just the right temperament to full fill the prophecy. Jon had mercy for his allies and his enemies, but fury when he needed it to overcome his enemies. Hes a song of ice and fire, the result of 2 bloodlines, 1 balancing the other out.

Targaryens were known to grow insane, because of their anger, and their fury for having no mercy for their enemies.

Had Dany been able to go through with her plans, she would of brought tyranny to the world.

With 1 dragon, you could literally conquer the world.

It would of been an age of darkness that resulted in the death of millions, Think about what she did to kings landing. This is why i think people completely misunderstood the ending and what they were seeing.


She commit genocide, killing women children, and men who deserved to have a chance to swear alligance to her house.

But instead she lost her mind in a pure moment of un challenged rage.

Rewatch the show, and pay attention to Dany's usual answer to her enemies, then pay attention to how jon responds to his enemies. Her very first choice when responding to an enemy is to kill them.

To burn them, to feed them to her dragons, when faced with a choice of conscience, she goes with the more extreme and violent solution as to not appear weak. Jon on the other hand, didnt have those hang ups. He didnt care if he appeared weak, because in the end his decisions were justified by their results. It was because of his ICE upbringing in ned stark that he was taught to do the right thing no matter what. While Danny only lived to attain power. Jon did the opposite and when given the choice, he chose to relinquish that power. Which is why he WAS the prince who was promised, and he was born under a falling star. Since Sir arthur dane had dawn, a sword forged from a falling star and he "fell" the day of jons birth.

Jon doesnt want to have to kill men. He gives them every chance to change their minds and alter their course until the point that should he spare them he would lose everyones respect. Jon made all the right moves, he had the moral compass to do so, and he had the skills being a gifted swordsman.


Jon snow WAS the prince who was promised. Because the darkness was not the white walkers, the darkness was Dany and her dragons, and the threat they represented against the innocent people of the world.

What they were saying, is that the night king was a heavy threat yes, but they were never going to over come all of westeros, so that real threat, was Dany. And jon snow ended the perpetual cycle of bloodshed, by using his dagger to kill her symbolically.

Should he have used his sword, he would of figuratively created light bringer, being as he was light bringer, a sword and a warrior, but had he used his sword in fury, he would of ended up taking his place as king, and therefore continuing the cycle of violence, that ended with danny, allowing westeros to use their lords to elect a leader in unison.

Which puts an end to the cycle of war, death, and lusting for power.

If the leader is chosen by everyone, it ends the cause of war.

So in reality, Jon saved countless people the same way jaime did.

He made the hard decision but the correct one.

In that Danny, would of slaughtered every person that she perceived as a traitor, and she saw everyone as a traitor now in westeros, not just the lords who resisted her, because she could no longer use her correct judgement, the person she was, was gone, and in her place stood a woman whose power corrupted her absolutely.

Just they didnt spell any of this out so the misconception that the night king was in fact that darkness the prince that was promised was supposed to fight, was a red herring. A threat yes, and jons main concern, but this is how power is corrupted without see it. IF allowed to fester in paranoia, and negativity, that corruption grows without seeing it, until the point that that corrupted insanity becomes all consuming. Every event led to dany's ultimate corruption.

This is why people didnt understand this aspect, they expected the night king to be this huge threat, because we are told he is that threat.

But in reality, the threat came from the corruption of those events on Dany's judgement. We only saw an example of this corruption once, so people brush it off. But imo that display of dany using drogon to kill thousands of people, was that darkness the prophecy spoke of.

She justifies genocide because she believes she is morally superior to the world and they have no right to choose. She wouldnt of just brought westeros to their knees. She would of killed anyone on the planet that she perceieved as an enemy and now this could of been anyone, since the same paranoid insanity that infected her father infected her own sanity. Dany didnt have a stark bloodline to dilute the corruption of the targaryen blood line. This is how we are told that incest is wrong, because it results in homicidal tyrants and birth defects.

What makes Dany the arbiter of goodness? Because she had dragons? Who is she to choose what is considered good or bad? And thats the point.

Varys and Tyrion had it right, that her entire life was a validation, a confirmation bias that her decisions and her life were meant to take her down this road.

How do you talk sense into a person that believes their mission is divine providence, but that mission will result in the death of millions?

What makes their decisions divine. Is it the dragons? Her birth right? Her dreams? Her moral compass was twisted after losing every one of her advisors the only people keeping her from becoming a merciless killer. And with the loss of jorah and misunday, dany had no one left to temper her worst impulses.

So she would of brought darkness to the planetos.

She would of killed every women, man and child she perceived as her enemy, and it was jons destiny to put an end to the Targaryen blood line that would of resulted in ultimate darkness for their world. Total Genocide.

Jon Snow is still the prince that was promised if you look at the story closely enough. The Arya thing was made up for the TV series to fit with the high level of feminism in modern times. Arya in the book does not fit the prophecy at all.

"Guy should be dead" was applicable at so many points in GoT lol

The only way the prophecy is fulfilled in my humble opinion would be if Aya married into the Targaryen family and returned to the iron throne to claim her right as queen
