Is Drogon’s existence not a big loose end?


Aside from the fact that no explanation is attempted for what the dragon is doing with Dany’s body, everyone seems very chill with a hungry dragon flying around the countryside.

Bran can spy on it. So what.

And it clearly knows exactly how to wreck the entire city.

This was a prequel to Godzilla.

It's as big a loose end as the Dorthraki! Who somehow just vanished, instead of razing King's Landing and going on a rampage through Westeros when their god-queen was murdered.

Actually, GRRM addressed that sort of thing in "Fire and Blood", his book about the history of Westeros. There used to be feral dragons in Westeros, mostly they lived in craggy areas where there weren't a lot of humans, and they felt free to take whatever sheep and cows they liked from the nearby peasants. They took no part in the affairs of men.

We see the Dothraki at the end near the docks, so I guess we’re supposed to assume they sailed back to their own lands with nothing to show for their massive losses?

reply

Oh right, and there were winged pigs flying above them, with money shooting out of their asses.

Dragons are catalysts of magic in this world. It would be a good idea to kill the beast sooner or later to make sure no mages decide to take power.

He went off to go live in a cave full of treasure owned by some dwarves.

Nice one. He also changed his name for security reasons.

For a show like this shouldn't there be loose ends? Personally I feel like they tried to make the ending to neat as is. The entire invading army packs up and leaves like it was just a softball game. The council gets together and hands the throne off to someone that has no claim, and there is no objections. The general ending of the show makes you believe that it is a happily ever after scenario. This isn't a fairy tale, nothing should be THIS neat.

Even Jon's punishment was nothing more then a way to free him to be with the people of the north.
