He plays the first season of Game of Thrones slow and stable with magic. Yes, the opening stage introduces frost zombies, but the rest of the season is focused on medieval-autumn political building. It is easy to wonder if those dragons we hear even existed, or whether any of those gods worship the characters are even realistic. But by the end of the first season it is clear that this is a real fantastic show: Daniers (Emilia Clark) awakens her three dragons, which will use for Burn countless enemies over the rest of the series.

How does Danieri pull this? Well, she walks through the fire. She spends her all night surrounded by flames and rises from her unsaturated. Even her hair remains intact, which is strange as her outfit so easily burned. In the books, Daniers' hair burned, and the next two books slowly recounted her silver hair to her former glory; I guess the TV -Shot had no budget for so many wigs.

From this scene, fans wondered why Daniers was immune to fire. If it's just because she's Targaryen, why not other well -known characters of Targaryen? There are several other targariens throughout the Universe of Asoyaf that are established as at least slight heat -resistant - mainly Egon V. From the stories "dunk and egg"Which dunk notes prefers to bathe in scaling hot water - but even Egon ended up dying through Dragonfire. So what makes Daniers so special?

In the books, Daniers is not immune to fire, and we can see it at the exhibition in "Dance with Dragons" where he suffers from a minor burning from the breath of Drogon. As for the big scene in the first book where she comes out of the flame with her new baby dragons? The author, George Rn Martin, made it clear that this was a one -off thing. "Targariens are not immune to fire!" Martin said in Q&A in 1999. "The birth of Danny's dragons was unique, magical, miraculous, miracle. She is called non -hell because she entered the flame and lived. But her brother confident as hell was not immune to that melted gold."

Martin added that Danny is unlikely to be able to withdraw that kind of feat, so she has a good chance of her interactions with Dotraki in the upcoming book "Winds of Winter", playing differently than in the show. ("Wow" comes out every day now, we are sure.) This change makes sense given the general thematic music of the series by Targaryi Hubris. Targarines are special, confident, but they are not that Special; To do this, Danny is not as much resistant to fire as everyone assumes that a long way to doubt the reader of her big leadership plans.

Meanwhile, the TV show determines that Danny is basically a superhero when it comes to fire, on a par with the night king in her invincibility. The show is a little easier to believe that Danny has been chosen by a divine being, which just makes that end of the sting even more.

In Westeros there is a saying on how when the gods, the gods flip coin is born. The saying usually refers to the capacity of targariens for evil, but it may also refer to how well they can handle heat. In the show, for example, we see the brother of Danieris Visarsis (Harry Lloyd) burning from warm water. (And of course, we see him died of the melted crown, though I don't think even Daniers could survive in the show.) The show seemed to use fire resistance to predict what Targaryen's brothers were real regal material and who was condemned.

In "House of the Dragon", we can see a similar screen technique. In the season 2 Dragon Battle between Wrannis (Best Eve) and Egon II (Tom Glyn-Carnie), there is a ton of fire. But the wound dies only by the influence of her fall, not the flames themselves. You have to make a decent argument that wound, which would be a much better queen than any of the kings we see in this show, is at least something immune to fire. Meanwhile with Egon II, a children's contender that the show does not want to take root, he clearly cannot handle the heat. Egon ends burned so bad, he would be a scar and disabled for life.

In other words, the more worthwhile to bring targary, the more heat resistant the show (and the books, to the lesser extent). The only biggest exception is Jonon Snow, a man who is portrayed as a natural leader, but who still burned his hand badly in season 1. The reason for this seems obvious, though: Jonon's immuno Twist R+L = J.. So, the implicit scheme of the show on "the better the targary, the better they can handle the fire" is more than a general guidance than a difficult rule.

What is strange about the immunity of Dani's show is that it goes against the usual tendency of the show to minimize the magic of original material. Books go more in Starks' ability to fit their Direwolves, for example, as the show descends that thread almost completely.

Game of Thrones pointers have not talked much about this topic, but the obvious answer here is that Daniers' fiery forces are kind of something that translates uniquely good to visual medium. Daniaris quietly coming out of the flame in Season 6 is cool and makes some iconic images, while Aria and Jonon dreamed of dreams from the perspectives of their Direwolves, they probably won't have the same kinematic impact.

It can also be another case of adapters that direct the original material. Woulde take a valuable time to explain to the audience that Danny's immunity is only a one -off job, so writers did not clarify and prevented Danny's immunity delusion to build further. Then, in Season 6, relying in Danny's fire immunity helped them open the force open Non -convenient measurement node That has slowed the publication of books so much. Grarm fought well with how to resolve Dani's situation in Merein in a satisfactory way to finally be able to go to Westeros and complete the series. But whenever the show was occupied by Danny in a sticky narrative situation, mating it was always an option.
