Always reassuring to see intelligent artwork like this which graphically shows "what really would have happened anytime a large intelligent dragon was face by 'a guy with a sword'. I really have to wonder how anyone over the age of about seven can take all of those ridiculous dragon-slaying video games and B novels seriously.
thanks for sharing!

To each his own. Dragons vary as far as how dragonly they are. Some aren't very dragonly at all, suck at being dragons, and end up getting themselves slayed.
I just happen to be (as humble as I can say it) really super badass, so that would never happen to me. *shrugs*

Actually no. The key words were I used were large and intelligent dragons, but even that is an understatement because many scientists have pointed out that the human race would have never survived if the world were still inhabited by large theropods dinosaurs with brains the size of walnuts, let alone, flying, highly intelligent 'theropods' with built in flame throwers. Most adults are intelligent enough to understand these things, which is why the mainstream public generally makes fun of the pathetic geeks who play stupid dragonslayer games. Intelligent people understand that no human with iron age technology would stand a chance against something like the classic fantasy dragon. Those who don't are generally ignorant of things like human strength vs. the natural armor a reptilian creature that large size would posses, not to mention the fact that intelligent dragons would be able to force humans to use their technology to the dragon's benefit, such as armored grates to protect their eyes, and any other possible weak point. But of course, why would the huge, intelligent dragons even allow humans to advance their technology further than the stone age? There has never been a dragonslaying story, game, or artwork featuring large intelligent dragons that could be considered plausible by intelligent people. It is all fairy tale nonsense designed to entertain ignorant children and adults who mentally never really grew up. It is ridiculous as believing a mouse can kill a cat. It is no wonder most adults generally dismiss the fantasy genre as immature rubbish. The utter stupidity of dragonslayer stories, games and art has unfortunately made it so.
Of course, there are some writers and authors who do know better, such as Staple who I do not believe has ever made a comic with a victorious 'dragonslayer'.

Honestlt, I kinda agree with you that most times, if not all, dragonslayers will not succeed against large and intelligent dragons. I mean the chances are very close to nil. But sometimes, accidents and other factors can change the outcome, but it will have to be nothing short of a miracle to do that. Not to mention that sometimes, when pushed, the beings will fight extremely hard to survive, like a cornered animal. Dragonslaying isn't guaranteed, but there might actually be a bit of difficulty for the dragons. I admit, the chances of aatch between a human and a dragon will obviously end with the dragon winning.
However, for the dragonslayer games, we're talking about those "video games dragons", not the actual intelligent ones, am I correct? It is perfectly reasonable for an intelligent dragon to exist, but do you know the definition of "fantasy"? Hint- it's related to improbable things. With your logic, I can simply say that dragons don't exist, and their wings will not be enough to carry them. Don't get me wrong, I like dragons. You're saying that it never occurred to people that large intelligent dragons are reasonable in those stories, but has it occurred to you that not all dragons have to like how you see them? If they're really smart, they will annihilate the human race because it's a potential threat.
Also, one last thing, please don't call people stupid for something like this. Are you saying that you haven't done anything "stupid" when you were young? Sorry, it ticks me off sometimes. And you know what's wonderful about fantasy? Improbable, or even impossible things can happen.
Sorry about this rant, and sorry if I offended you.

No offense taken, but please understand that I never said the people were stupid, I said the dragonslayer games and stories were stupid. However, I would say that many people are simply ignorant of how stupid these stories really are because they are unaware of the superiority of a huge intelligent dragon compared to 'a guys with a sword'. I suspect some of the people who create that rubbish are quite intelligent and know how stupid these things really are, but also know they have a paying market of ignorant people who do not grasp how stupid these games and stories really are, and have a psychological need to fantasize they can conquer creatures FAR greater than themselves. A salient fact which you have missed as well is that if the dragons of fantasy games and stories were NOT intelligent, they would have utterly exterminated the humans long before steel swords were even invented, just as so many scientists have stated that large predatory dinosaurs would have if they had not gone extinct. The only way humans and large carnivorous dragons could cohabitate the same environment is if the dragons were intelligent enough to see the humans as more than an almost helpless source of furless, clawless, easy to catch and digest food, and keep them around as amusing pets and servants because of their unique intelligence in the animal world. But with that survival comes the fact that the dragons would never set back and allow the humans to attain the technology to possibly threaten them. This in fact, is why all of the dragonslayer games and stories are indeed "stupid", even though many of their creators obviously know they are stupid as they laugh all the way to the bank.
Yes, no human armed with primitive weapons like swords or spears would be able to kill a reptilian creature of that size, particularly one of at least human intelligence since it is capable of speech. The keratin scales alone of a creature that size would be nigh impenetrable, not to mention the dragons ability to kill the tiny appoint like a cat swatting a mouse long before the knight could even get close enough to use his ineffective weapons. This is why intelligent people in the 'mainstream' tend to ridicule and satirize the whole idea of fairytale human 'dragonslayers' much as we see in Staple's artwork, or the popular animated film "Shrek".
