That was never brought up as a thing in the show AFAIK, and the clue would have been earlier when Drogon let Jon touch him on Dragonstone when he was petitioning Dany.

‘Game of Thrones’: Elizabeth Olsen Had a ‘Terrible’ Daenerys Audition
Maybe she would have treated King's Landing differently.

don't know the book history, but would dragons just haul normal people around
bunch of people thought Tyrion was going to be a Targ after he got close to them when they were chained up
would assume on the show after the trip beyond the wall, anyone danny wanted could ride

Tyrion thing could've been a nod to the hints in the books that he's likely a bastard Targaryen and not Tywin's son by blood. This shit is so condensed though I can't tell if its omission from the show means it was a red herring/fanfic or if this shit is just ditching that much from act 3 of this series.

how weird. She's facially the opposite of clarke. Tiny nose, tiny mouth.f‘Game of Thrones’: Elizabeth Olsen Had a ‘Terrible’ Daenerys Audition

You can see what the casting director was thinking.

Completely different thing. Drogon leans into Jon and allows him to touch him, and responds favorably. It's the action of a pet. Tyrion just wasn't eaten.

Yeah the entire Quentyn Martell plotline in the books is all about him thinking he can ride a dragon to impress Dany because his grandma was a Targaryen. Then has his face melted off.
So is was common knowledge that only Targaryens could ride them, or at least lore minor family members knew about. That's ride as in control, they used the dragons as an airplane in that terrible episode the first one died in.
Jon riding a Dragon should have been a big moment in The Long Night. Dany should have been "nooo you can't ride one you'll die" and he makes the reveal then. Seems kinda obvious.

I never read it, but I know about it. I confess that a fantasy novel written by a teenager for teenagers makes me a little dubious. It's a bit unfair because there are cases of teenagers writting masterpieces, but the point here is that Eragon sounds about as formulaic as this Targaryen dragon riding stuff. I understand that the point of A Song of Ice and Fire is to play with these fantasy literature formulas, but I suspect this is not always very productive, so I am not saddened if some of those got canned or glossed over in the adaptation.

My aunt got it for me for Christmas shortly after it came out and I decided to stick with the series. It improves quite a bit after the rocky and unoriginal opening.
