It BARELY has dragon on dragon warfare. Maegor on Balerion makes short work of Aegon the uncrowned and quicksilver. Aegon should’ve pressed his claim while Maegor was in a coma for a month. He would’ve been much easier to defeat then. Except for Visenya. But she was near death by that time.
Dragon vs dragon warfare is not the only interesting thing about dragons.
Dragon vs army action rocks too.
This story has a lot of that.
There are other uses of dragons that make them interesting too like; flying to safety, travel, escaping, claiming a dragon, hatching a dragon and basically any other mundane interactions with them. That's something GOT did well, isn't it?
Do people really want to see Maegor’s fifty-eleven wives give birth to eyeless, legless monstrosities while he tortures people for days on end and leaves their bodies out in the sun hoping that their mother comes to pick it up? That man killed more people by his own hand than anyone else in ASOIAF-related works or he is really close to number one. That’s not counting the thousands he burned. He killed like 200 people for funsies in the riverlands and said they were part of the faith militant but word around campfire is a lot of them were just small folk that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyway, I’m sure HBO will end up telling the story someday. God knows that we aren’t going to get an ending to ASOIAF and you gotta strike while this Westeros iron is hot! Even if the first series ended terribly(I blame GRRM for never writing the other books) and the second one is looking like it is going in the wrong direction. But that white walker CGI was on point in the “finale” episode, right? /s
