    If you pay attention to that scene, you can see Rhaenyra slightly tilting her head at Daemon, giving him a sign to do it. And I like that version better because you can still see Rhaenyra's impact here but also the bond between her and Daemon. They can understand each other easily without even speaking, Matt Smith and Emma Darcy also portrayed their characters perfectly

    • @MT-iw6sl
      @MT-iw6sl Před měsícem +12

      They most certainly are not a “perfect” portrayal. Rhaenyra is nowhere near as ruthless, gluttonous, or arrogant as the book. You even see yourself here, Rhaenyra was the culprit behind Vaemind’s death, not Daemon. Daemon is both too violent and too illogical. He kills his wife in the most obvious way possible, flying to the Eerie on dragon back and she “just so happens to die in an accident” that everyone knows he did. But he DOESNT kill Laenor, who is the only thing stopping him from marrying Rhaenyra and jointly pressing their claims to the throne. The whole point of the Dance is that both Rhaenyra and Aegon suck as heirs because their dad was a weak willed King and both factions were grabbing power based on pretense. Both of them suck, both are arrogant and pushed into cruelty from the pressure of war. Aegon thinks he’s the heir cause he’s the oldest boy, Rhaenyra was chosen as heir but Viserys did nothing to solidify it other than just telling everyone once “hey back her claim over my sons”. These vicious, arrogant, spiteful characters are way too competent, diplomatic and temperate. The show has eradicated all nuance for why Aegon would be named heir over Rhaenyra and why people would support him other than sexism. Seriously, go ahead and try, name one reason other than sexism that any house other than the Hightowers would support Aegon over Rhaenyra? You can’t, there is no nuance or complexity. We never see Aegon have any positive interactions or traits, he’s just a psychopath. We never see Rhaenyra be cruel or spiteful, she’s well-spoken, pretty, diplomatic and kind. The only casualty so far of the build up to the dance is that one servant who had to die in Laenor’s place, which for all we know could’ve been an already dead body so no one got hurt to make Rhaenyra and Daemon look even better. It’s dumbed down and insulting how much the show changed the characters.

    The only change I dislike in the show is Princess Rhaenys's hair colour.
    In the books, her hair was black on because her mother was a Baratheon (and Baratheon's seed is "strong").
    This gives the Blacks a defense/answer for those who question the legitimacy of Rhaenyra's children with something like "maybe the Baratheon black hair gene skipped a generation."
    Whereas in the show, there is nothing for Rhaenyra to prove that her children are also Laenor's biological children.

      @bluffleaf First off, Valyrian blood has magic. So the writers have free range.
      Second of all, both Laenor and Laena are half black, which would make their children only a quarter black. Just look at the old king Jaehaerys, whose mother was a Velaryon.
      The third one is that the main key point of the ASOIAF/GoT plot is that the Baratheon seed is "strong".

      Its a shame because Rhaenara and Alicent had agency, they were very intelligent, cunning, had political acumen and were rutheless in their pursuit of power.
      In the show they made them much weaker, beholden to the men for everything. If they added those aspects in HOTD it would have provided nuance and some exposure on those two amazing characters.
      Instead we got old lady failed queen to have a beautiful and brave monent when she ruined Aegons corronation by killing all the commonfolk and letting all her enemies survive. Truly a girl boss with ultimate intelligence, thats why she left the greens alive; its all part of her master plan to become queen by usurping the throne when its Meraxes' time of the month, so she destroys kings landing in a fit of badassery.
      Just to be clear I am not hating on the actresses.
      I just think the deviations from the source material have been pointless and stupid, at least a good chunk of them like Rhaenys killing all those people but not harming any of the greens, raceswapping the Valyrions, those examples are off the top of my head. Theres so much more in the books that could have been adapted instead of those nonsensical scenes and elements.
      As it relates to the video, Daemon cutting Vaemonds' head in half is shocking and shows off the valyrian steel swords cutting power.
      Rhaenera feeding the corpse to Cyrax afterward would have been a great way to show how she interacts with her dragons and uses them to instill fear in her opponents, and her subjects.

      @@v_cpt-phasma_v689 so? The point is, even IF Luke could be proven to not be legit (which he hasn't been), but even if he was, then Vaemond is STILL not the heir. Baela or Rhaena is. So Vaemond was still either mistaken or more likely lying.
      Also, whoever the Lord, ie. Corlys, says is the heir, is the heir. Corlys says it's Luke, end of.
      -
      Fact is, even if they are bastards, which has not been proven, they are still next in line if the King/Lord says they are and if they have the relevant blood OR the Lord says they have. Even if they didn't, the whole point of the marriages between Jace/Baela and Luke/Rhaena was so that there was no doubt that one of the pairing at least had Velaryon blood.
      It's basically adoption + legitimisation all in one, both of which are the King's right. He just doesn't need to do it if he says it isn't necessary.
      No, both sides do bad things, but ar the start of the war, team Green are undeniably the bad guys. Ya know, the team that betrays their oaths, plots to try and remove the legal & named heir, plots to go against the King's will and wishes before his body is even cold, steal the throne and murder anyone who points out it is against the law or who remains true to their word.

      The way I see it, the Dance was doomed to happen the moment Jaehaerys lost his two firstborn sons and then the rest of his children promptly died, were killed, committed elsewhere, or ran to essos to be whores. Tensions were brewing already by the time of the great council that named Viserys heir- the Sea Snake held that grudge for *decades.* (Fuck up ×1 for Corlys)
      Then Aemma dies with no male son after 5-6 failed births before that. Viserys fucks up by not having taken a second wife way before this.
      Otto fucks up by overreaching and sending Alicent to Viserys knowing he's emotionally vulnerable to this manipulation, all because he wants more power even though he's the fucking Hand at the time.
      In the show, Viserys knows he's dying and doesn't know how fast, so marrying Laena who can't have children for years is a bad idea. Viserys fuckes up- he marries for companionship, destroying his relationship with his daughter, giving Otto power, and passing over all of the other eligible women in the kingdoms that could've secured new alliances.
      Then Daemon fucks up any chance of the throne passing to him by being an asshole for most of his life.
      Rhaenyra fucks up by almost sleeping with Daemon, and then actually sleeping with Cole, who tells Alicent and fully breaks that friendship. (Fuck ups 1 & 2)
      Rhaenyra fucks up (×3) her chance of being supported by more lords by having bastards (though part of this issue also lies in both Corlys, Rhaenys, and Viserys marrying her to a gay man, of which at least 2 of them knew, so the odds of her having true born children were exponentially low anyways, so let's say Viserys fucks up ×2 and Corlys and Rhaenys fuck up ×1).
      Viserys fucked up (×3) by not marrying Rhaenyra to Aegon the moment he was born, though I understand he wanted to preserve his relationship with his daughter. Alternatively, this slight could've sent Rhaenyra running to Daemon for marriage without consent, which would've just started the war before the king even died.
      Viserys fucks up (×4) by not being a present father to his children by Alicent, leaving Alicent and Otto to raise them to hate Rhaenyra and her children instead of imparting the love that Viserys should have that could've tied the branches together. Otto and Alicent fuck up (×2 and ×1 respectively) by raising the kids this way in regards to Rhaenyras kids.
      Alicent fucked up (×2) by not marrying her daughter Helena to Rhaenyra's daughter Jacerys, which also would've tied the branches, but I see why she didn't as they were plainly bastards, and this could've caused a war between the whole Targaryen family and the rest of the lords in the kingdoms (similar to Robert Baratheons war, though Robert's was for different reasons that the legitimacy of the heirs).
      Somewhere in their Daemon also fucks up more times. Kills his wife in the veil (×2 fuck up) as this alienates the Vale from taking Rhaenyra's side. Takes Rhaenyra to a public brothel and sullied her virginity, which isn't important nowadays but was huge in-universe (fuck up ×3) because this ensures that Rhaenyra's reputation is bad even going into the marriage with Laenor.
      Alicent fucks up (×3) for crowning Aegon without first convening with Rhaenyra to see if this can be settled without bringing them even closer to war, even though she herself refuses to supplant Rhaenyra in the way the rest of the small council did (with blood and such). Otto additionally fucks up for planning to violently supplant Rhaenyra for years with many other high lords.
      Rhaenys fucks up (×2) by not killing all the greens at the first opportunity, and then allying with the blacks anyways and taking direct part in the war
      Aemond fucks up by killing Lucerys.
      So to tally the score we get:
      Inciting Incidents: Jaehaerys' heirs dying, and Aemmas infertility/inability to carry to term a living child
      Viserys: 5 major Fuck Ups (4 if we don't count marrying Rhaenyra to Laenor, assuming he did not know Laenor was gay despite the relatively open secret)
      Corlys: 2 Major Fuck Ups
      Otto: 3 Major Fuck Ups (being lenient because he's not really a main character for a large part of the show, and only a subtle manipulator. Could be higher than this if you consider other factors.
      Daemon: 3 Major Fuck Ups (also being lenient because you could separate out all the general asshole fuckups from his time at the beginning of the show up until he sullies Rhaenyra and kills his wife)
      Rhaenyra: 3 Major Fuck Ups (4 if you count her complicitness in the excursion with Daemon- I'm hesitant to because she's like 14 but I can see why someone would count it)
      Rhaenys: 2 Major Fuck Ups
      Alicent: 3 Major Fuck Ups (Being somewhat lenient)
      Aemond: 1 Major Fuck Up (Maybe 2 if you count the slight against Baela for taking Vhagar rather than any other unclaimed dragon anywhere else- Vermithor, Silverwing, Tessarion, the 3 strays consisting of the Cannibal, Sheepstealer, and Grey Ghost, as well as unclaimed Seasmoke, or a younger dragon that had been more freshly hatched and went unnamed, of which we hear there are at least a few of varying ages that eventually bond with younger Targaryens. Vermithor and Silverwing belonged to King Jaehaerys and his wife Allysanne, Tessarion to one of their daughters, and Sheepstealer and Cannibal were also very large. All of them larger than Seasmoke would've been at the time, and also with long dead riders or no riders over whom no one would take any slights. Grey Ghost was smaller than Syrax but also fair sized as well. Out of the two dragons that were fairly off limits, he chose the worst one- Vhagar. Seasmoke might also have been an affront but to a lesser degree as Laenors "sons" had dragons already but one of Laena's daughters who expected Vhagar did not. Also, as Laenor isn't actually dead we don't know how claiming Seasmoke would've gone).
      Anyways, I'm not saying a single less fuck up would've changed things, but if a handful of these fuck ups had not happened the war mightve been avoided, or at least been less bloody or have killed no dragons (like in the event of both branches of Targaryens vs other Westerosi lords). Everyone had a fairly major hand in this, even characters that aren't really important, like the Kingsguard and the Baratheon lord who allowed Aemond to follow Lucerys into the storm where he would be killed, and all of the long dead heirs of Jaehaerys, that would've set the realm far off this course to begin with had even one of them lived and ruled halfway competently.

Though it's a last resort especially because they're women.
      Funfact this is how Robert was decided to be king, because all the targs were dead or in exile they looked at the family tree and saw that Robert is a close cousin of rhagar so he was a good choice for king, without this blood tie the realm would have probly gone to war again because the faith would reject him so there would be like 20 lords tryna make themselves king in his place.

      @@queenxx1690The thing with that is it’s confirmed who the real father of Jon snow is. There’s a story that back before GOT the D&D brothers had to answer a question with George RR Martin to get the green light for GOT to even get the green light for the show. The question he gave them was “Who is Jon’s true father” (somewhere along those lines). It is said they answered correctly and George thus gave them the opportunity to do the show (GOT). You are right we can’t be 100% sure Jon’s father is Rhaegar but theoretically if the brother got the answer right then wouldn’t they also add that truth to the show? ( im talking about when they revealed Lyanna was Jon’s mother and Rhaegar escaped with her while she left Robert blue-balled at KL).

      Within the show-only canon, Targs are almost always only born with silver hair if they are “pure” Valrians, aka the Targs and the Velyerons. But Rhaenyra’s first three boys are indeed bastards- their father is Harwin Strong (who had black hair). Now, it is a little confusing, bc Viserys remarried Alicent (brunette), but all their children, Aegon the 2nd, Aemond, Helaena, and Daeron (not seen in the show yet) all have silver hair, as do Aegon and Helaena’s children. I think the show made this creative choice to emphasize Rhaenyra’s selfishness in taking a secret lover and not suffering the consequences- despite how obvious it was. It serves to make her not a wholly good character, and to lend sympathy to Alicent and the other greens.
      But in the books, it’s different. Rhaenys “the queen who never was” actually had black hair, bc she was closely related to the Baratheons. And there were other, more realistic differences as well. The show simplified it, partly to help audience members keep family ties more clear, and to add dimension to certain characters.

    Everyone always up Rhaes cooch about who the father of her kids really is. When literally they have Laenors acknowledgment/last name, Viserys and Corlys also both recogonize them as true-born sons, and heirs to the Iron Throne/Driftmark. It seriously does not matter what anyone else thinks they know about Luke, Jace and Joffreys "real" dad. When a person in Westerosi culture says "these are my legitimate children and heirs" thats the end. The only difference between Robert and Laenors situations being that Robert didnt know(or wouldn't admit it to himself.) And if he did would have immediately kicked Cersei and those kids to the curb. Laenor ^does^ know, he doesn't have to say "hey y'all are right but thats ok cause I recognize them as my legitimate sons." Cause he ^already^ did that 😂

They have no ^actual^ proof(beyond what their eyes tell them but 🤷🏻‍♀️) that Rhae and Laenor didn't have kids together. Or even that Harwin is the father.

    If that's the most evil thing she did, I'd still call her a decent person in comparison to the other characters in this universe.

      The decent person still doesn't get kicked out by people she ruled or get betrayed by her advisors.
