I don’t think it’s so much ultimately unimportant as unimportant to Benioff and Weiss, who are being rather radical in chopping out material so that they can skip to the end.
So it looks like in the show that Daenerys will take King’s Landing from Cersei (maybe Euron gets involved somehow). But the conventional wisdom for TWOW has been that Aegon will take King’s Landing from the Lannister-Tyrell regime (how Myrcella and Tommen die would still be up in the air). So is Aegon’s excision from the show indicative of how he’s ultimately unimportant? Because in the show there’s no opposing candidate for a second Dance and Dany will steamroll everyone in her path.
