  Hey guys, Liam here, boy am I glad I sat on this one, till after that play dropped 😮‍💨 <br><br>You may notice the music disappears on this one, that&apos;s not an error, it&apos;s an intentional choice<br><br>Me and Thom have recently been discussing doing some more &quot;stripped back&quot; videos with less music and moving visuals so we can do the topics that we&apos;ve previously turned our backs on because of the lack of visuals <br><br>Unfortunately I wasn&apos;t aware THIS video was going to be the trial run for that idea 😂 so apologies for the jumpy bits, OTT bits of delivery, cuts and foley edits on my part, I voiced and &nbsp;mixed it with backing music in mind.......sneaky Thom.<br><br>Anyway guys feel free to give us feedback on this more stripped back/Slideshowy format<br><br>Pros- More videos and topics that are often ignored because of lacking assets can now be addressed<br><br>Cons- Less dynamic visuals <br><br>Thanks guys!

  I could beat Rhaegar but I was sick so I couldn&apos;t show up to the trident.

  Considering the fact that Robert, who takes every opportunity to insult Rhaegar never calls him weak, I think it’s safe to say he was a good fighter even if he wasn’t some unstoppable badass

  “Yeah trust me bro Rhaegar was actually totally cooking Robert and the only reason he lost was because he was holding back so much, AND he had a big scary magic vision attack, so Robert cheapshotted him like the big stupid ugly jerk he is.” -Jon Connington, (top fanfic writer)

  Rheager was by no means a bad warrior, he&apos;d just never seen real combat cuz he never had to. And he was going against a monster who considers battle another day at the office. He definitely had the motivation and drive to beat Robert but as that fool Viserys said &quot;In the end Robert wanted it more&quot;

  Guys you forgot to talk about the post credits scene where Jon Connington is sitting down talking to Young Griff. He finishes the play with “and that’s what happened” XD

  I’m pretty sure my parents had to duel him on the way to school every day in the freezing winter with only one arm because they were wrangling a dragon with the left one

  Another irony of Rhaegar is that even if he were 100% right about prophecy, he failed to realize he&apos;d already done his part. &quot;The dragon must have three heads would have been fulfilled on his end the moment he impregnated Lyanna. &nbsp;No one said anything about daddy dragon having to be around to raise his kids. &nbsp;He thought prophecy made him invincible, but forgot that prophecy loves irony.

  I agreed with this video although my opinion is if I had to give Rhaegar a quantified equivalent from the books I said Rhaegar a Loras Tyrell type in that he’d probably in a life or death trial by combat lose to the top tier fighters but he’d definitely not lose in embarrassingly horror fashion and would give a good account as you pointed out the fact he did wound the freaking demon of the trident in 1 v 1 but still lost.

  No way in hell I could ever believe Rhaegar could beat Robert. A man fast and strong enough, and with enough endurance that he could wield a warhammer so heavy most men struggled to lift it....One handed....And did it in multiple battles in a single day. That&apos;s not a human being. That&apos;s a machine that&apos;s been perfectly engineered and calibrated for killing.
