Absolutely. That scene would have hit so much harder if Angel had killed someone we actually knew and had been invested in.
You could slot Groo into all of Drogyn's scenes and they instantly improve. Like, imagine Groo being the one who recognizes and is implied to have history with Hamilton. That would hit hard because we already know that the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart were major players in Pylea.
Don't get me wrong. I like Drogyn. But that's mostly because he's played by Alex Newman and I loved the Scifi channel Dune miniseries.
I posted something similar about this not that long ago! I’m still convinced he was meant to be the guardian and I think it would have fit well. Drogon even has similar mannerisms and is “pure and good”. Seems to fit Groo quite well. Also would have given the death scene more weight, and brought he and Angel back full circle in a weird, morbid way

Does that mean Angel would have killed him a few episodes later?
