House of the Dragon Missed a Chance to Introduce Black Aly
House Of The Dragon season 2 skipped over a significant event from the book, "Fire & Blood," which means the introduction of a beloved Stark character has been pushed back.
The Battle of the Burning Mill, a major event in the book, was skipped over in the show. This was a huge missed opportunity to introduce Black Aly, a fan-favorite character. The show cut directly from an argument between the Blackwoods and Brackens to the aftermath of the battle, with hundreds of dead bodies. Had the battle been shown, Black Aly could have made her debut.
Who Is Black Aly and How Could She Have Been Introduced
Lady Alysanne Blackwood, also known as Black Aly, is the sister of Lord Samwell Blackwood. In the book, Samwell is killed by Amos Bracken during the Battle of the Burning Mill, and Black Aly is said to have shot the weirwood arrow that killed Amos. Black Aly later becomes Lady Alysanne Stark of Winterfell. She is a fierce warrior and an important commander for House Blackwood during the Dance of the Dragons.
Black Aly plays a significant role in the book's story. She leads the Blackwood forces during the Battle of the Kingsroad and helps to create peace after the Dance of the Dragons. In the book, Black Aly is the reason why Cregan Stark refrains from executing Corlys Velaryon, helping to restore peace.
When Will Black Aly Appear in House of the Dragon?
Since House Of The Dragon missed the chance to introduce her during the Battle of the Burning Mill, her debut may be at the Battle of the Kingsroad. However, given her popularity, the show could introduce her earlier by revealing she was present at the Battle by the Lakeshore. The Battle by the Lakeshore may occur later in season 2, or possibly in season 3. Considering Black Aly's importance to restoring peace after the war, the show might want to introduce her sooner rather than later.
The show already introduced the Blackwoods and the Brackens, two ancient houses with a long-standing feud. The show did a good job of introducing these houses, but it's a shame they missed out on introducing Black Aly. She is a strong, complex character who could add a lot to the story, and fans are eager to see her on screen.
House of the Dragon Is a Popular Show
House of the Dragon is a popular spin-off of "Game Of Thrones," set 172 years before the events of the original show. The show tells the story of the Targaryens, the only family of dragonlords who survived the Doom of Valyria. The show stars Milly Alcock, Emily Carey, Emma D'Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, and Paddy Considine.
The show's popularity has made fans even more eager to see Black Aly introduced. They know she's a beloved character from the books, and they're excited to see her come to life on screen.
