Game Of Thrones: 8 Reasons Why The Blackfyre Rebellion Would Make A Perfect Prequel

4. Daemon Blackfyre (And Many Other Great Characters)

The First Blackfyre Rebellion was led by Daemon Blackfyre (formerly Waters), who became known as the Black Dragon. He'd be at the centre of any TV take on the story, and that could be a very good thing. Daemon is one of the greatest fighters to ever live in Westeros, at one point described as being "like the Warrior himself" in reference to the Warrior face of the Seven.

Not only was he one hell of a fighter, but he was also renowned for his "inhumanely beautiful" looks and considerable charm, all of which makes for the right package to lead a TV series.

Also on the side of House Blackfyre were Sers Aegor 'Bittersteel' Rivers and Quentyn Ball, aka Fireball, both of whom were ferocious warriors and fiery characters, with Bittersteel especially known for his anger.

On the opposing side, Daeron II Targaryen would make for a compelling counterpoint to Daemon, as he was seen as an inherently good and kind-hearted person, whose strength was his wisdom rather than skill with a sword. His greatest ally is the aforementioned Brynden Rivers, a skilled swordsman and archer, who also becomes known for his sorcery.

Shiera Seastar, last of the Great Bastards, would make for an excellent female lead. She was known for her intelligence and dabbling in the dark arts, as well as being the most beautiful woman in the Seven Kingdoms. Likewise, Daenerys Targaryen I, half-sister of Daemon, is another important figure, and a chance to see the woman the Daenerys we know was named after. And if the series started with the reign of Aegon IV, aka the Unworthy, it'd be a chance to see a truly terrible Targaryen rule.
