Reception[]
In his write-up about the video, Dan Neilan of AV Club wrote "When gauging things like airspeed velocity, fire breath temperature, and fire breath power, Screen Junkies found again and again that Smaug came out on top. This gold-hoarding wyrm clocks in at 260 mph and would be able to melt the great ice wall north of Westeros in 735 years. Drogon, on the other hand, flies a measly 160 mph and would take a staggering 1,700 years to melt that big ol’ wall. As for how a certain blue-fire-breathing dragon managed to take down the wall in mere seconds at the end of Game Of Thrones seventh season? Surprisingly, there’s no scientific explanation."
