Summary
House of the Dragonseason 2 will see two characters campaign it out in what will basically be its own take on Cleganebowl , the clank between Sandor " The Hound " Clegane and Gregor " The Mountain " Clegane fromGame of Thronesseason 8 . Through much ofGame of Thrones ' run , interview were hope to see the Clegane brothers have a proper fight after a abbreviated altercation in time of year 1 . Thanks to a pop possibility among book readers in particular , there was an expectation to"get hype"(as the coarse chorus blend ) for Cleganebowl . However , it did n’t take place until correct beforeGame of Thrones ' ending , and it resulted in both brothers perishing .
House Clegane may not have a major role to work inHouse of the Dragon season 2 , but the show can do something similar . There are several warring sect and familial divides , but one of the biggest splits comes with the Cargyll twins . Ser Arryk and Ser Erryk were both sworn members of the Kingsguard , but now the Twin discover themselves on counterbalance sides : Arryk serves King Aegon II Targaryen , while Erryk is loyal to Queen Rhaenyra . As the Dance of the Dragons truly begins , those divided loyalties will be demand to the extremum .
House of the Dragon time of year 2 expands the narration from King ’s Landing and Dragonstone bringing in a wealth of new part , which signify a bigger cast .
The Duel Of The Cargyll Twins Will Be House Of The Dragon’s Cleganebowl
biz of Thronesseason 8 had the Cleganes duel it out in a brand engagement , andHouse of the Dragonseason 2 will have the Cargyll Gemini get across steel in another epic battle of brothers . Or at least , it will if it follows George R.R. Martin ’s book , Fire & Blood(and there is fiddling to suggest otherwise).The duel between the Cargylls comes as thegreens plot retaliation against Rhaenyra and the blacksfor the murder of Aegon ’s heir , Prince Jaehaerys . Ser Arryk is sent to Dragonstone with the aim of sneaking into the castle under the pretext of being Erryk , though accounting differ on whether his target was to obliterate Rhaenyra herself or her bastard child .
Although Arryk achieve the first part of his goal , successfully entering Dragonstone without question , his plans go awry when he run into none other than his buddy , Erryk . Historical accounts agree on only two points : the Cargyll comrade fight , and the Cargyll brothers die(much like in Cleganebowl ) . What exactly pass is where thing take issue . One author claims the brothers professed their love life for one another and fought for an hour , finally dying in each other ’s arm ; another claims it was a little , smutty fight , with no declarations of love and only wound . In the latter version , Arryk is killed quickly , but Erryk suffer a wound that he hold up for four years before dying .
The fight could happen around the halfway home run of House of the Dragon season 2 , which will only have eight installment as oppose to the 10 of time of year 1 . In the Dance of the Dragons timeline , it has to derive after the event of Blood and Cheese ( which should be ahead of time ) , but before the Battle at Rook ’s Rest ( which set exposure have confirmed happens in season 2 , and will likely be towards the ending as a freehanded , striking set piece ) . That means it should have a few installment to build up to it , but not enough to help it top whatGame of Thronesdid .
Why The Cargyll Twins' Duel Won’t Beat Game Of Thrones' Cleganebowl
House of the Dragonseason 2 will likely depict the duel of the Cargylls as somewhere in between the dissimilar diachronic accounting , choose to reveal the " truth " of what happened and finding a better balance in the story . Of of course , it ’s the one where they get laid each other and agitate for an hour that the singers favor , and a take on that could well make for estimable TV . It would certainly be more romanticize , and well fit the heroic flavour that it might desire to achieve . That would also make it the opposite ofGame of Thrones ' Cleganebowlin one way , since that was unquestionably drive by hate , but there ’s still a problem when it comes to outfox it .
Themain issuing for the affaire d’honneur of the Cargyll twins beating Cleganebowl is how clothe audiences are in those type , specifically compared to the Hound . He became one ofGame of Thrones ' secure fibre , with a complicated arc that chair him to that power point . vote down his brother was earned , and it was the ultimate , tragic finish of his entire journeying , lend things full traffic circle in fiery fashion . Plus , even if it arrived later than hoped , there was nonetheless still a grand spectacle in seeing them fight ; a true clangour of the titans that audience had need to see for yr , finally being realized .
House of the DragonandGame of Thronesare both streaming on Max .
The Cargyll twins ' competitiveness should still be great , and it could be a different kind of fight to Cleganebowl , since it is n’t about two brutes carry laborious shot at one another . Nonetheless , theHouse of the Dragonfight wo n’t have the long time of hype nor storytelling and character work behind it that Cleganebowl did . While the Hound and the Mountain ’s fight had some flaws , and was arguably even a little ludicrous , it was a fitting payoff , which the Cargyll twins ' duel can not be in the same direction , given they ’re very much side characters , without too much developing of their own . It certainly wo n’t be spoilt , but it also wo n’t require witness to get as hyped .
