you know what would've been dope
when the dragon cranked the fire to burn jon and switched to the throne
i was hoping he would burn jon and jon lived because he's a targaryen then when the dragon see that jon is still standing there somehow bows and lets him ride him and then whatever the fk dont care better then having the dragon burn the throne for no reason and fly off
Dragons were said to be perhaps more intelligent than men. After all, the dragons were symbolic creatures. They symbolized weapons of mass destruction, the state of magic in the GoT universe and the supernatural. It was only poetic that such a symbolic creature would melt the now-meaningless Iron Throne, because the human who both gave meaning to it and whom Drogon acted through was gone. He was destruction, but he was also a plot device, and I think he fulfilled the symbolic plot device role when he destroyed the throne, as if he were the embodiment of irony. The show used resurrection as a similar built-in internally coherent plot device. The dragon is analogous.
I may be overreaching, though. I just like to believe there to be deep meanings behind artistic choices

Maybe it's far-fetched, but i like to think him being a Targaryen is what gave him both leverage against Dany and made Drogon accept his approach to the Iron Throne which allowed him to kill Dany. It's like his resurrection was meant to draw Daenerys and her dragons to the fight against the Walkers, but this time it was the writer's doing, and not the Lord of Light.
