‘House of the Dragon‘ has shaped up to be another hit for fans of the ‘Game of Thrones‘ universe. The show has been carrying forward the legacy of the fantasy quite well, especially with characters like Daemon Targaryen capturing the audience’s imagination.
Daemon’s character is particularly impressive because of the parallels drawn between his and Jaime Lannister’s characters. True to their last name, both the characters have been perceived as ruthless and yet evolved into fan favorites. However, Daemon has a close competition with the much-loved Jon Snow. When asked who would win if there ever is a war between the two characters, here’s what the actor Matt Smith has to say.
Matt Smith Is Confident About His Character Daemon Targaryen’s Prowess Over Jon Snow’s
Matt Smith has found a prominent place for himself in the ‘Game of Thrones‘ fandom by playing the character of Daemon Targaryen impeccably. Both his fighting skills as well as war brain have played a key role in shaping the narrative of the show. Besides, Matt is clearly quite confident about his character’s prowess.
When recently asked about a possible sword fight between Daemon Targaryen and Jon Snow, Smith said he has several advantages against the ‘Game of Thrones‘ hero. “Come on… mate, I’ve got a dragon,” Smith said with ample confidence.

“I have a lot of respect for Jon Snow, but don’t get it twisted … I’d f*ck [him] up,” he added. However, he did not consider the idea of a blade fight, in which case Jon would have a pretty solid chance.

Upcoming Season Of ‘The House Of The Dragon’ Is Highly Anticipated
While Daemon Targaryen’s possession of a dragon undoubtedly gives him an advantage, Jon Snow has also proven to be a formidable swordsman as he defeated White Walkers and also survived several battles.
In a scenario where only blades are involved, Jon Snow would likely give Daemon a tough fight. However, it’s just a fictional fight that fans are not going to get to see anytime soon.
As for the upcoming season of ‘House of the Dragon‘, the conflict between Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen is going to be the focal point of the story narrative. If the storyline of ‘The Dance of the Dragons‘ is to be believed, the show promises to be an epic clash.
With the tension between the two factions reaching a boiling point, fans are eager to see how it all unfolds. The new season premieres on August 21 on HBO MAX.
