Holy shit! George R.R. Martin wasn’t kidding about Daenerys Targaryen’s babies getting bigger and bigger with each book.
Game of Thrones Director Matt Shakman recently chatted with Entertainment Weekly about the show’s upcoming seventh season. Next time you’re in an airport, take a look around the planes on the runway. Yeah, the dragons are probably bigger than that.
“The dragons this year are the size of 747s,” Shakman told EW. “Drogon is the biggest of the bunch — his flame is 30-feet in diameter!”
According to EW , the dimensions of a 747 are about 230 ft. long with a 210 ft. wingspan. Let’s see, Shaquille O’neal is about 7 ft. tall. 230 divided by 7 is 32.86. So you need to lay down about 33 Shaquille O’neal’s to make ONE dragon. We don’t know why we just did that math. The reference made a lot more sense in our heads.
Basically, DAMN DROGON IS A BIG BOY.
We wouldn’t want to fly on that with no harness. We don’t know how Daenerys trusts Drogon won’t kill her when she’s riding on his back. How do you even hold onto him? The spikes on his back are huge.
Guess we can cross off “Mother of Dragons” for potential career options. We hate the cold, so we won’t be taking the black any time soon. Becoming a Red Priestess doesn’t sound so bad. Melisandre can make demon babies and drink out of the fountain of youth whenever she wants. Jon Snow does hate her though…
Maybe we’ll join the guild of the Faceless Men. Arya finally took care of the annoying Waif so being an assassin should be much more fun.
Game of Thrones really can’t come back on air soon enough. Game of Thrones Season 7 will premiere July 16 on HBO.
