Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon episode 8 marked the debut of actor Ewan Mitchell as the older version of Prince Aemond Targaryen. His performance as the morally grey prince has been praised by both critics and fans alike. One of his most iconic scenes in episode 8 ‘The Lord of The Tides’ was his “Strong boys” toast, which was a mockery of Rhaenyra Targaryen’s children and erupted into a fight. This is the second time Aemond has invoked a skirmish, and there are many more to come in near future.
Here’s what the fans think about Aemond’s “Strong boys” speech:
the way he asserted dominance over everybody without even saying a word 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #HouseOfTheDragonpic.twitter.com/nVhUvy9NYq

"I have never known anyone so strong as my sweet nephews," he ended. "So let us drain our cups to these three strong boys."
