I don't care about Ormund or Ulf, and your attempt to get me to like them is a psyop. I know you want me to get invested in as many "chud"-coded characters as possible so you can have the highest amount of dunks afterwards.

I only care for Aegon even though I know you will villain-bat him hard next season, I do it in spite of that and will laugh in the face of any of the attempts you'll try to make him look pathetic.

Cole's death didn't affect me whatsoever, either. Your pathetic attempt to "humiliate" him was extremely predictable.

Daemon is a cuck and Aemond is a plot device and not a character.

Rhaenyra and Alicent had finally arrived to Pentos. Their hasty escape from King’s Landing after Aegon’s return had proved too much for them on their journey, and they were famished. “Rhaenyra, I would like supper, I’m starving” said Alicent. “We will fetch something to eat as soon as the magisters receive us” said Rhaenyra.

“Rhaenyra, I did not kill Aemond and flee King’s Landing for nothing. The least I expect is a decent platter.”

Rhaenyra noticed that the Dowager Queen had put on weight recently. The seams of her dresses were ever tighter now that her figure had thickened over the past few months. Rhaenyra rolled her eyes at her and advised her to be patient as Alicent’s stomach growled loudly.

Later that night, the merchants of pentos brought them several different meats and cakes for their supper. “Finally, something to dine on. I am ravished.” The exiled dowager queen took hold of a yellowish cake that smelled of vanilla. She took a bite of the cake, it was soft, pillowy and moist. A good mixture of sweet vanilla and butter. “This is exquisite! Rhaenyra you must try some for yourself!”, exclaimed Alicent. Rhaenyra chuckled as Alicent took another slice of moist and delicious vanilla cake.

Was this how they would live out the rest of their lives? Growing fat and happy together eating cake? Rhaenyra didn’t mind. It was an improvement over the miserable lives they had previously in Westeros. She smiled and went to bed happily with a belly full of veal and cake as Alicent snored heavily in the bed across from her.

Is this healthy behaviour?

I might retract my statement, I think Criston, Aegon, Aemond, Ormund, Otto, Gwayne, Viserys, Helaena, Ulf, and maybe Tyland are all better to varying degrees. Most other characters are bout equal or worse, like Rhaenyra, Mysaria,Corlys, and Alicent. Alicent up until the last few minutes of episode 8 season 1 was also an improvement but after that she became the worst character in the show. This show was pretty good to the Green when I think back on it.

Poor House Strong, basically wiped away due to Rhaenyra’s inability to not be a whore. If it’s not obvious I’m rewatching the show. Painful how much they ruined Daemon and Alicent’s characters. Rhaenyra and Mysaria suck as always.

If you were a writer on this show and could write the finale, what would would you include

These numbers are definitely real.
The fact is that they re-defined a "viewer" as someone streaming it once for atleast 3-5 minutes. and the entirety of their increasing viewership is just the youtube channels, rewatching every episode 8 or 9 times to clip and edit for their youtube channel, which would naturally increase when the series starts going full retard, and there is more reason for them to rewatch and clip episodes for youtube

There really should have been more blowback on Rhaenyra and Daemon's marriage, especially with it happening so soon after both their previous spouse's die, like they didn't even wait a customary grieving period before eloping.
That would cause such a scandal and everyone should be seeing that as suspicious as FUCK.

>>222312233
The issue the stories are pointing is not that someone violating the system invalidates it but that even if everyone followed it perfectly it would still be bad and flawed and unfair and oppressive, which is the thing George is going at with a lot of Westeros and why the story will end with Tree God Bran reshaping the world with his godlike tree powers and creating a more just and happy tree based society.

>>222312312
>bad and flawed and unfair and oppressive
According to who and what? If you ask the Westeros nobility, their moral system is completely justifiable and mostly common sense as far as they are concerned.
>but what about the smallfolk
Uneducated peasants would strip the land bare of any value. They'd be free to do nothing but slowly learn how to oppress one another, and after an age of banditry and warlordism they'd eventually consolidate under a new king and we'd be right back where we started.

These political systems are not the result of immorality, they are the result of inherent human nature reaching logical conclusions. There is a reason why monarchy evolved throughout history here on Earth, whether it was in Egypt, China, Mesopotamia, or Mesoamerica. Humans do human things, one of which is have social hierarchies. It is only "oppressive" if there is mismanagement, and in ASOIAF there is mismanagement because GRRM writes every single political leader as more concerned with who they'll fuck next rather than actually doing their jobs. This is a statement on human nature, not the political system. All of these characters would act more or less the same if they were on House of Cards.

I watched s1 and and 2n and have not touched s3 because s2 was a snoresfest. It's very obvious the writing room is a bunch of women and basedboys. All the clips of s3 I've seen on YouTube are boring. I don't care about these characters. They're either insufferable or woke. It is an achievement I haven't even touched s3 because I can put slop on my second screen while I neet all day. I don't even want that goyslop hotd on my screen. At least fucking Brand New Day has a fun White man being a hero, despite muttdaya being a girlboss bioweapon.

It is utterly shocking how Aegon II is so likeable. It's metaphysical and prophetic how he was stopped from being a Good Man, the closest a man can get towards God in this plane, because of shrewish whores and men filled with GREED. It must be the Holy Spirit working through these demons that they can not even discredit him truly. The scene where Aegon II is so in tune with his dragon that it responds to him in Westerosi language? A symbol of Man fulfilling God's wish of ruling over nature AND being one with it.

it makes more sense in the books because Rhaenyra gets fat and lazy too, but in the show it hasn't been like that yet, there's no reason for her to not take Syrax out and fly a bit here and there
feel bad for Syrax honestly, to have a shit rider

>>222312505
>what is death of the author
His opinion on what he wrote is irrelevant to what he actually wrote.
Like if he were to claim the diarrhea scene was super important, he'd be wrong. If he thinks monarchy is about feasting and fucking, he'd be wrong. This is something you should have learned when you first became literate. What you read is, in fact, what you read. It is not what someone else tells you you read.

That's human existence, not the political system.
It's not even baked into monarchy, there are many monarchial systems which handle inheritance differently, and it's even a non-issue for characters in House of the Dragon.
Mr. "I got my cock burned off" is not disqualified from being or remaining king because he can no longer produce heirs. Direct male heirs is a social tradition, but irrelevant in day to day ruling.

I don't think so, George's work is pretty clear and in line with his professed political and moral thoughts, it's more like you have a very radical and totally unsupported interpretation based on your own politics that you can't look past.

It wasn't a surrender, he was wanting to have single combat because this faggot thought he was this honorable knight, meanwhile trampling over his vows at every step he took. Cole deserved the death he got.

It's so disappointing the way Vhagar is basically written as a stepping stone to make all the other dragons look like cool underdogs. They could have just written it as an overwhelming beast that was feared by all others, but as I kept reading the book it was basically "Vhagar only wins because child rider" or "Vhagar only wins because 2v1" or "Vhagar actually loses to the smaller dragon". Pathetic

Women throughout the town were raped, including crones and girls as young as eight, and not even septas and silent sisters were spared. Drunken soldiers killed every male they found, including old men and boys. Homes and shops were looted by bands of greens, and wealthy townspeople were tortured to reveal hidden fortunes. Even babies were impaled upon spears.
