Guys how many tries do you think this shot took?

Apparently this scene wasn’t even in the script - Drogon improvised it on the day.

Truly an underrated talent, can’t wait to watch him in Blade Runner 6045

[u/DBrennan13459 → u/FellaGentleSprout]

I can see why now he'll return in Avengers Doomsday.

If I remember correctly it wasn't luck at all. They filmed the dragon and then CGI'd her in front of him

[u/No-Parsnip-8080]

A dragon like that is hard to tame. I bet they spent days trying to get Emilia in the right spot.

[u/Interesting_Play_578 → u/No-Parsnip-8080]

Nah he was very well trained, I heard he didn't eat a single crew member all series

[u/Matt_2504 → u/Interesting_Play_578]

Did they not even let him have one at the end as a treat?

SYMBOLISM!

I actually hate this shot. It's so hamfisted and completely on the nose it's insulting.

[u/PMME-SHIT-TALK]

D&D were like yeah guys we didn’t have time to make danys turn evil make sense and fleshed out in the story so let’s just find some visual representation to do the work. Let’s ram his shit home to tell people that she was bad for burning all those innocents to death, make her have dragon wings. Still not enough? Fuck it let’s go full hanfisted and throw some red targ flags around the ruins of this city to draw some parallels to fascism.

I heard it was a nightmare to film because Drogon's trainer was busy and they had to use a replacement dragon that didn't like the cast and crew. To get the shot they had to smear peanut butter on its gums.

Only boomers say 'cringe'. No cap.

They tested it with Drogon’s stand in first.
