I think he saw and understood, fully, what prophecy and dragons had done to his family.

I feel like the saying, "He was not the person the people wanted, but he was the person the people needed" fits him.

He was overshadowed his whole life and in my opinion, highly misunderstood

On the Daron Pox thing I think what Aemon said could still apply. It was his dragon dreams that lead him to abuse alcohol and frequent prostitutes in the first place which in turn lead to his death. So in that sense the dragon dreams killed him

Speaking of Baratheon, it's easy to forget that he was basically a Targaryen with a different name lol

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Ls6Li-GDA&t=915">15:15</a><br>I think Maekar's death mirrors Baelor's - a battle already won, and a fatal wound to the head.

You know, the more videos that you do about Maekar, the more I sympathize with the dude. In a lot of ways his rule was pretty solid. But in a lot of other ways, he seems to have been one of the most unfairly despised rulers of the Seven Kingdoms. Even the way that he finally died feels like a complete stroke of misfortune.

Maekar is the most pleasant and gold standard of all unpleasant Westerosi rulers.
