Ewan Mitchell : It was no secret that he felt like Aegon was inferior to himself . He felt like Aegon lacked the pertinacity to be a loss leader . Also , it ’s no closed book that Aegon was almost the ringleader to a lot of Aemond ’s puerility worrying and trauma .
I think that perhaps Aemond would never have intended to burn Aegon , but it just so happened that Aegon was there tangled with Rhaenys and Meleys when he was on top of Sunfyre . It evoke the question of whether or not he would ’ve done that or if Aegon was just collateral damage . I intend that ’s compelling . Maybe it was when Aegon brought in the Pink Dread [ as children ] when Aemond was like , ‘ I ’m going to fire him one day for this . ’ Who know ?
Alan Taylor : We wanted to hold multiple motivation that might have happened there . It ’s a battle move , but he did advisedly unite the battle of late , and he is being a little bit indiscriminate with how he ’s blasting fire . So I retrieve you could think whatever you desire to conceive about his motivation there .
