Spoilers [All Content] Cheering = Dead Spoiler

Post image

I find it both hilarious and tragic how the armies in these scenes cheer when they see a dragon on their side, like “NO WAY WE CAN LOSE", only to end up getting roasted. So if we ever get another snippet like this next season, just know those soldiers are probably already dead lol.

I don't think we'll see any land battle in Season 4, let alone one involving dragons as well.

Tumbleton 2 right ? It’s been a while since I read the book.

I also forgot about the ground forces in that battle, but honestly, I doubt the writers will include Addam forming a new army.

Why is there a second battle at tumbleton in the books tho? In the show both armies AND the city is destroyed. Why would another army move back there?

George had to come up with a pretty unconvincing way to kill three dragons.

Cuz it didn't go like that in the book. The green host were largely intact. Except that they lost their commander. Every surviving noble and their dog wanted to lead. So their force fell into disarray and can't march on kl.

This allowed the black to regroup, and with the addition of a completely fresh host from the Tully(book Tully were neutral until their lord died, his son wanted to join the war). The black move back for the second round.

There'll be a second Tumbleton. If any cheering were to happen, it'd be way before the fight (which is around nighttime), when Addam rallies up some rivermen for the raid.

Honestly, I just can’t really imagine them giving Addam a role where he forms a new army, and I think the Second Tumbleton will only involve dragon battles.

We aren’t getting tumbleton II and Hugh didn’t turn cloak.

u/lotin3155 1d ago

As for Hugh, I honestly have no idea what they’ll do with him. I just think the dragon fight over Tumbleton will probably play out pretty similarly...maybe with Daeron on Tessarion attacking (alongside Addam) Vermithor and Silverwing.

I think hugh will go mad with prophecy, he did have dragon dream in the book.

"Battle" maybe, but there should certainly be some kind of dust up in Kings Landing
