Maybe being chilly assisted Ewan Mitchell’s efficiency for his huge “Home of the Dragon” nude scene. It’s a weak second for Aemond, with Aegon ruining a spot that introduced him consolation, and he has to indicate it doesn’t hassle him by strolling bare by the world. Aegon has actually given Aemond troublesome instances all through their lives, which makes it apparent why Aemond tries to kill Aegon within the following episode when the 2 are caught within the Battle of Rook’s Relaxation atop their dragons. It’s a fruits of a lifetime of emotional torture, and as evidenced by Season 2, Episode 5 — “Regents” — all the pieces has come up Aemond, not less than in the intervening time.
Aegon is alive however therapeutic, that means Aemond turns into Prince Regent and Protector of the Realm to supervise the machinations of the continuing conflict between the Greens and the Blacks. Whether or not Aemond deliberately meant to hurt Aegon may very well be up for debate, however Aegon’s well being points clearly profit Aemond within the quick time period, as Mitchell elaborated in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It was no secret that he felt like Aegon was inferior to himself,” he stated. “He felt like Aegon lacked the perseverance to be a frontrunner.”
It’s an unimaginable arc to witness, as Aemond is at an exceptionally low level. He goes from being proven bare in entrance of many to successfully changing into the king (even when the title stays with Aegon in the intervening time). And this might simply be the start. There are issues about Aemond solely hardcore “Home of the Dragon” followers know, and he may develop extra ruthless with every passing episode.
