I really don't like the way they whitewashed RhaeRhae, especially by making Laenor's death a staging or removed the part where she fed Vaemond corpse to her dragon, while making Aegon worst(a rapist and a child fight enjoyer, seriously??). They removed his "what kind of brother steal his sister's crown" line, also even removed his dragon Sunfyre the most beautiful dragon in history who was supposed to appear in the coronation. Instead we got that "show-only' Rhaenys nonsense scene🤦.
Agreed it seems these showrunners don't want any great Aegon moment but instead a "good queen fighting the villain king". I hope they will do him justice in season 2 because Aegon and also Rhaenyra are the most important characters in the dance of the dragons. As for Sunfyre maybe they lacked some budget to properly show his magnificence🔥
Aegon I think they did well, UNTIL the scene they made him a rapist & someone who watches his bastards fight in the pits. Should have kept him as a sort of Aenys but douche type imo, I’m not even a green but that was doing him dirty. I feel like what they did with Rhaenyra on the other hand was fine, they portrayed her still as a rather inspired person but overall unwise (reference her scene with Dundarrion & Blackwood) Ruler. More interested with power than human life, it’s certainly not pure good in her portrayal. Also the books as mentioned above are based on Rumors and Tales of which would obviously favor Aegon as he was more popular and a man.
(People I think they did especially dirty in my eyes)
• Criston Cole
• Aegon II
• Arryk & Erryk (just give them a little distinction, how they talk or present themself maybe, even a noteworthy Pin on their cloak would do)
I am worried they will do a Renly/Stannis sort of deal where in the show they made Renly pure good and Stannis rather more evil. As opposed to the books where they are both rather complex as people and rulers, provoking philosophical questions in the reader
Please come on, you don't know how much they white-washed Alicent and the greens in general. Please stop. Aegon is a rapist in the books too
@@thetalesofelbek7042 Lmao it was never proved. Only Mushroom spread those lies and he wasn't even in kingslanding back then so this accusation is not accurate. But it seems the showrunners take it like: "when it comes to Aegon Mushroom is saying the truth and when it comes to RhaeRhae Mushroom is a liar".
If I were Rhaenrya, I honestly would've made a point to forge relationships with my half siblings and I would feel out the situation as the years progress. Aegon already didn't want to challenge her in his youth WITHOUT even having a relationship with her, so imagine if she were close with her siblings? also, as the years go on and the time nears, if the events still end up the same despite the good relationships, I would broker a deal similar to the one offered to her when Aegon took the throne and she was offered Dragonstone and Driftmark for her now "legitimate" heirs. I would publicly and privately support Aegon for the throne. This is if everything turns out the same anyway. But we wouldn't have an interesting story if that's how things went down of course. I personally would be happy having the power my last name already brings me anyway. there's no need to go in to civil war for "power" Look at the queens in times past. Alysanne, Rhaenys, Visenya... idk about others that were on that level, but still.
Very true! Having a very strong relationship with the people that might fight against you can change the story. I would also try to tell Viserys to not get married since If she's really in his prophecy. He won't need a wife or other children.
The second viserys had a son with alicent war was inevitable.
The hightowers, since the time of the conqueror, have been trying to marry into and have an heir on the throne.
They tried and failed with maegor
Peace was never an option.
Rheneyra could perhaps have left westeros with her family, but since she believes that the prince that is promised comes from her line, she feels it is her duty to claim the throne.
Even if she had given up, Daemon would never yield.
I guess she also feels that she is literally the prophesy girl,so her victory is preordained
Also clearly, aegon is just the worst.
Best keep him as far away from your children as possible.
He is a terrible role model
I agree however, the green lady refused
I would have offered to foster those kids over on Dragonstone and raise them myself. But Hindsight is 20/20.
Our protagonis? Yes.
A hero? No.
i honestly dont think they tried hard enough to have legitimate children. Rhaenyra herself says "the few times we lay together" and Jace was born within a year of her marriage to Laenor. it wasnt long before they gave up and used Harwin and even if it had been YEARS they should've chosen someone who looks more like Laenor. Even smallfolk in Lys have features similar to valyrians. so its not impossible to find someone who she could have kids with that will more believably pass as legitimate. they could had a sex worker from there shipped to pose as a servant and sneak him into the bedroom at night.
I still laugh to myself when I think about episode 8 and Viserys is half dead in his bed talking to Rhaenrya talkin about "my only child" lmao he meant what he said.
He only considered rheneyra his child.
She was his golden child.
The prophesy girl.
The others were just spares made for duty.
That's absolutely disgusting
@@drrohanjacob5343bro, he was nearly a corpse with half of his mind still sane and active. You put too many thoughts in his pain full and foggy mind.
@@gloriaregali9090 Even when he was coherent it was clear his daughter was the only one he truly cared about.
After all he was totally ok with his son loosing an eye but the second someone questioned his daughters honor he instantly acted with the cut off their tongues decree.
@@drrohanjacob5343 and? This shows him as a terrible father and a heartless man.
Rhaenyra could've annulled her marriage to Laenor before having bastards. She should've told her father of Laenors inability to procreate heirs
Exactly! It would have been politically difficult as the Velaryons are extremely powerful and would do anything to keep the marriage but it would still be possible if Rhaenyra was savvy enough. I place the blame a lot on Corlys who knew his son preferred men but still went with the match. If he was less egotistical and valued his house over his own personal pride he should have married one of his nephews/younger cousins to Rhaenyra not his gay son.
THERE, I agree! She should have and it would absolutely positively be solid ground for an annulment. TBH the only thing I think to stop that was her father's *needing* the Velaryon alliance to have peace. Well, he should have done *his* duty and married Laena, just had children with her once she'd matured. I mean Aemma was 11... 11! When Viserys married her--and the show made it look like marrying a 12 year old was the worst thing. Bro, you've just been retreading old stomping ground. And alternately, she could have come clean with her father regarding Daemon and forced his hand to let them marry. Daemon wouldn't have been happy, but he rarely ever is, and so... yeah.
@@9xprincess Also plenty of blame on Viserys for backing out of marrying Laena like he promised.
It is possible to get pregnant from a gay man… several ways actually.
That, or Viserys could have named Laenor to the Kingsguard. But Viserys did nothing.
Not only did she gave birth to bastards, but she also tires everyone about the fact that they are legitimate. That line of her in ep.10 always makes me rolling: "you have Baratheon blood from your grandmother Rhaenys" lmao, cmon even Luke is not dumb😂 but it seems Rhaenyra starts to believe her own lies🤦
As Aegon said "Everyone knows". Rhaenyra messed up everything and believe she can hide behind her daddy to clean all the shit she did. A Spoiled disney princess!!
Lmaooo💀
I guess in a way she was telling the truth if u believe that the founder of house Baratheons are the illegitimate brother of aegon the conqueror
In the books his grandmother was a Baratheon and she had dark hair the legitimacy of her kids was more questionable in the books
she wanted to torture aemond after her sons cut out his eye, just cuz he said the truth
Can’t wait for the Rhaenyra and Alicent’s relationship/rivalry video !
Me too! It's coming soon! I'm writing the script at the moment ✨
@@guihuppe you are very much team green, aren’t you?
Rhaenyra does suck at making alliances, if she was smart she would've had her son's fostered in other Kingdoms like in Winterfell or the Vale. Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark became friends and allies because they were both fostered at the Vale. Rhaenyra also should've betrothed Jacaerys to a different House that way that House would support Rhaenyra in upcoming wars instead of betrothing both boys to one house. Or better yet Rhaenyra could've declared for Baela as heir to Driftmark while buying land and having a castle built for her son's by Harwin and letting them be heirs to that castle on that land crating a Cadette house of house Targaryen just like House GreyStark and House KarStark were founded by Stark's who were 2nd or 3rd son's to the Lord of Winterfell.
This too. And forging alliances by trusting other noble families to have a hand in raising children was a thing medieval families of note did routinely. Anne Boleyn was famously raised in France, a HUGE honour. Or, sent them to Dragonstone to have them out of sight, but well-looked after and educated while she stayed in KL.
Yea in episode 3 she insulted Lady Redwine. Im gonna guess thats one reason she sided with the greens
Small correction: half-brother Aegon, not stepbrother.
oh yeah totally misread the script there!
@@guihuppe you've been watching too much step brother content
@@eugeneimbangyortezawhat
Leaving Kingslandng is not a mistake. Or at least not completely. We must understand that Rhaenyra is an AWFUL politician. Like she has NOTHING on Allicent, whom is quite the capable schemer and politician.
She has no allies in the city, specially now that Harwin is dead (I am talking of episode six) and before that he was exiled.
What WAS a mistake was not hosting people in Dragonstone or visiting them with Jace, she has strong relationships in the Vale and the North. She should have sold Jace as the heir as much as possible, fly around with their dragons to remind them of the Targaryen power, that despite looks, Jace has the blood of Aegon the Conqueror.
Also why the heck she waited six years for the bethroal of Jace and Bela? Whom seem to have a cursh on each other from the get go? Like she does NOT need Rhaenys approval, Daemon's word is more than enough, as their father and Prince of the realm. Like she does not need to go and beg, she can easily rope Rhaenys as an ally without her consent, this could be an interesting insight into Rhaenyra's lackuster understanding of politics.
Rhaenyra leaving for dragonstone was the best decision she made.
In the books the children were betrothed a lot earlier .
It was just the show wanting to give rhenys more importance.
She literally was not involved in politics at all and left the kingdom and the capital to Otto and Alicent and then she was SO surprised by the final situation. Rhaenyra did nothing for her throne feeling just entitled and believing everything will be just given to her perfectly knowing that she should try twice harder as a woman.
It WAS a huge mistake and her unwillingness to demonstrate she is a good heir.
These videos are made so professionally i was genuinely surprised when you said you were below 2000 subscribers. You're criminally underrated
Haha thanks! I'm happy with the current growth on this channel ✨ slowly but surely!
Me too! A video was recommended to me a few weeks ago (I can't recall exactly when), and immediately subscribed, because I really appreciated the complexity of these breakdowns. I didn't notice the number of subscribers when I did so myself, but assumed it was higher, simply because of the quality and detail of the videos themselves.
@@guihuppe slow and steady wins the race! Lol subscribers aren't everything, and your videos are great! Keep it up!
Love the way you have structured your HOTD videos and your thorough analysis of every political implication each action on the show involves. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!!
I’ll say it once I’ll say it a billion times the RT and Daemon r there own worst enemies. Rt chooses to have bastard kids, she chooses still to be heir, she chooses to let people believe she killed her first husband, she chooses to teach her kids to lie just so she can remain in power. Daemon groomed RT, said the heir for a day, took the dragon egg, killed his wife, n now is king since he married Rt. Rt is an incompetent weak ruler and Daemon is Oto for house black.
He didint kill her
@@Moneyluckyjack meant to say killed his first wife.
@@jjosifovic ohh I forgot that death was such a small blimp on my radar she was annoying tho😂
@@Moneyluckyjack How was she annoying she was there for like 2 minutes lol n her death had serious ramifications towards her house supporting Dameon and RT.during the war.
@@jjosifovic she talked too much
Her biggest mistake was moving to dragonstone.
I had a prophetic dragon dream . Saw this channel blowing up.. glad to be here at the beginning 😉
I'll take that! 😆 Thanks ✨
She's a hero to her children but not to the realm
Finally ! This is what’s be been waiting for !
Always enjoy your retrospectives Gui!
Return of The King(‘s HOTD Analysis Videos)
Your videos are so good man. Keep this up!
Thanks 🙏
loved this!!
I would make the argument that
(This is a practical argument on political maneuvering towards their goals not a moral one, I do have moral opinions but those are irrelevant to this analysis)
Rhaenyra leaving for Dragonstone was not a mistake on her end given the fact Viserys already had a council of opponents of hers in power. It was a mistake of Viserys. This being because she most likely would have just been put under Arrest immediately during the coup. If she had stayed under the conditions as they were shown. If Viserys had appointed allied figures in the small council to his proclaimed heir and removed the Greens (her main opposition) from positions of authority in the small council, potentially even fostering Aegon with Rhaenys or some other black aligned lord. Then her leaving would be her mistake, as is presented in show, Viserys is to blame on that strategic error. Not Rhaenyra
It’s like blaming someone for moving out of the way of an incoming axe into a thorn bush (Rhaenyra) and not the person swinging it (Otto/The Green Council) or the person who is behind the Axe person with a Gun (Viserys).
this is absolutely true, people forget that if she stayed there. Otto wouldve EASILY order her death.
@@mercuriology45 More likely she would have been locked in the black cells and forced into swearing Allegiance, executed when she refused but the difference is minor. (Even if she did accept she would probably be made a hostage, this would either lead to a full loss or a Robb Stark situation with Jacaerys if he were somewhere else, if this did happen he would probably be just as lucky as the Young Wolf given that they would be short a few dragons more than they had and would have lost many advantages they gained via controlling Dragonstone)
Rheanyra is definetly to blame, not Viserys for this one. She is supposedly afraid for her childrens future? So she hides herself at Dragonstone. But for what? They are going to have to leave Dragonstone to claim the Iron Throne at the Red Keep at some point, this is just delaying the inevitable. Unless of course, she really means for them to stay at Dragonstone forever and give up their crown that way, but than they are out of the race for the Iron Throne which for all of her talk of her childrens safety is not what she wants I guess.
Honestly they are going to have to come to the Red Keep at some point and deal with Alicent and Otto trying to arrange to have them killed. Unless of course their plan is to go to Dragonstone to have more fire power in the form of dragons, but if that is the case I do not know why they tried to have Rheanyra be the peacemaker in ep 10. Also in the books this last option didnt work out for Rheanyra all that well
@@nadjapavlovic5953 You start with a faulty premise in your argument. Whilst Viserys is alive The Iron Throne cannot be claimed, and as mentioned above THE GREENS HAD POWER IN KINGS LANDING GRANTED & BACKED BY VISERYS, the hand was a Green, the Queen was a Green, most of the Council were Greens (exempt Beesbury). If she had stayed she would have been captured and shoved in a cell before she even knew Viserys was dead. Unless Viserys changed the above Power Dynamic beforehand, she was not in any position of real power in King’s Landing, Viserys was. Staying was basically inaction & death. He wanted her as heir and could have put her allies in power instead of her enemies. Hence to THEIR goals, I put Viserys at fault for her leaving. It’s not like she could have personally removed his appointments afterall, moving was giving a temporary disadvantage to stay in the game beyond the first move
@@nadjapavlovic5953 It’s like saying “Hey why don’t you put your head in front of the axe, it’s going to come at you anyway” and judging an unarmed person for moving to grab a sword. Approaching an Outcome Sooner whilst ill equipped to do so isn’t a smart option, she decided to move further from danger and gather Dragons & Swords at Dragonstone
I support the maestor conspiracy, the hightowers just helped them out
I love it
No it's foolish idea
I like Rhaenyra and I ain't even gonna argue cause she is naive, does a lot of blunders and isn't a good politician which allows the Greens to capitalize (u called it the 3 pillars)
17:19 omg he made an appearance! 🥰
A very shady one too!
As a mother of nine, I think ReRe could've tried a bit harder to have legit children even with a gay husband it happens all the time (for better or worse). Kinda kidding but really not. That said, I love your videos and please keep up the great work!
They did try it’s mentioned in the series that they tried too and she didn’t get pregnant
It's never mentioned, because it's only relevant re: the marriage, and not re: his sexuality but: nobody ever, not once, considered that Laenor might be infertile. They did have sex, and nothing happened. She and Harwin also had sex, around the same time (so we know she was fertile/ovulating then), and surprise! A baby boy several months later. So this could be not simply to protect their marriage and her reputation and solidify her position, but also to prevent Laenor from being a laughingstock? Because she's gone to great lengths in the show to finally make that man happy--lord knows it was clear he'd rather be anywhere but beside his wife (let alone in her bed) even when the going was good. Laenor was just not that great a guy, either. Rhaenyra made poor chocies--but people like you act like she was the ONLY one to make them, and the point of ASOIAF is that EVERYONE survives by making poor to terrifying choices.
Leaving for dragonstone is the smartest move she made.
It's more defendable.
Less chance of assassination.
Most of the ppl of kingslanding are very pro faith of the seven and so are pro alicent.
If she stayed she would have just been taken prisoner or worse eliminated. .
So what? She is supposed to be the first queen regent sitting on small councils and make alliances. Instead, she is driven by pleasures just like aegon. She never took her duties seriously, and making bastards is why people began to look down on her. She is not smart, just entitled and spoiled by her father.
@@heartlesslove9084 War was inevitable the moment viserys took a second wife.
The capital was always going to be against her.
The faith is too strong there.
Nothing she did was going to change that.
The ppl when they still saw her as the realms delight still put on plays calling her weak and preferring a man.
She cant change their minds.
No sense fighting to hold an indefensible position .
Retreat is clearly a smarter move.
Rheneyra support is to the north away from the capital.
@@heartlesslove9084 Also she is not queen regent.
Regent means ruling on behalf of someone such as your son who is not yet of age.
Rheneyra is queen by her own right.
@@heartlesslove9084 Annnnnd when ever did Viserys actually PREPARE her to do those things? He didn't let her have any input in council meetings, he didn't teach her anything, except that she was to be a babymaking machine. Spoiler: Queen Victoria also managed to do that and rule, piss poor decisons alongside great ones, and all. It was that her father didn't teach her. But I know you're just another incel with a hardon to screw Jon Snow up the rear and hate women. I know your type. ;)
great video. i have a question. are you more team black or team green?
Neither! I think they're both problematic!

I'm so thankful to live in a time where I was able to have my kids in my own terms
Wearing green 💚 during a Rhaenyra video it's clear wear u stand 🤭
👆omg! I l need to address this conspiracy theory 😂
What I don’t understand is why they made it so obvious that those kids weren’t laenor’s? I’m the books it’s much more interesting because the rumors were the crux of the conflict. Those kids could have been laenors in the books. Changing the skin tone of an entire house when they were all the same skin tone and it was a much better story. But anyway. Dance of the dragons is the goat.
Aemond did not strike first by childrem fight
There are no heroes in this series.
Exactly 💯
It’s not really the question or the point if she’s a hero or not but she is in any event. She’s a fantastic mother who honorably protected Laynor. Please read Fire and Blood at least ya’ll…
It's more a question of she is the best of really terrible options.
in fire and blood she is a tyrant that takes the poor allot and kills Laenor
Anyone who reas Fire and Blood knows she is no hero. Neither in the show.
@@pedrofernandes2466 Much of fire and blood is biased from various perspectives
@@GoldenRose116 she only became a tyrant after the war started and after losing two of her children
Aemond did 11:11 11:13
No, she is not.
Rhaenyra is the villain
The kids didn't know it was gonna be Aemond, they're kids, they don't have the best critical thinking. "They shouldn't have brought a knife" is a weird argument when it wasn't even used till Aemond threatened his cousin's life imo
Aemond is cousins with Baela & Rhaena, but Luke & Jace are his nephews. He really should've been more mature in this situation lmao
@@xoxo2226 aemond was basically the same age as jacerys. and 4-5 years older than luke. why is maturity brought into question?
It is wildly known or at least majority of people thinks that ONLY Targaryens can ride dragons, that's their whole point and the reason they are royals. There is no way children who themselves have Targaryen blood didn't know that.Why would they think a random person accidentally tamed a dragon? Jace decided to bring a knife against some member of his family.
But yeah, lack of critical thinking shined when kids decided to go alone in the dungeon in the middle of the night and Jace woke up even younger Luke (it's show that girls only woke Jace).. as his backup? instead of going to the adults. They are not exactly clever in general
That whole fight is a lot more complex than youre admitting here. Both boys had bullied him before for his lack of dragon and then once he had a dragon, they decided he was wrong for claiming that particular dragon due to Rhaena wanting to try to claim Vhagar first which isn't how dragons work.
@@ravengrey9709 I didn't say that was all that there is to be said about the fight, i only stated that I think it's a weak argument when you have seen the scene happen, since the knife was ultimately used when Aemond was literally threatening a life. I am not trying to absolve Luke and Jace from blame for that incident, only commenting on that one argument
Argon is not her step brother it’s her half brother
Correct. I misread my script.
Its Aegon
Aegon 2 is Rhaenyra's half brother.
Is Rhaenyra the hero? Compared to the greens when they made Viserys ignore the stepstones crisis again. Yes, she is. Compared to an actual hero. No, she is not.
I thought the reason she wed Leanor wasn't just because she couldn't get a match but because she needed to make up for Viserys not helping the Velaryons as fast as neccesary.
Rhaenyra is not perfect.
She is just the best of all the terrible options.
Absolutely not. Next question.
They murdered her baby daddy. Lord Lionel Strong. The murdered Luke. They stole her crown. They indirectly cause her miscarriage. Criston mistreated Jace and Luke. Alicent even made her life hell. All Rhaenrya did was have sex with someone who is not her husband. You can add all the nuiance you want, but I get why 90% of the audience are Team Black. Rhaenrya has not done anything to hurt or harm Alicent or her children. Yet all Alicent has done is try to destroy Rhaenyra's life.
ppl forget that the reason that Rhaenyra moved from kingslanding was THE SHITTY TREATMENT she experienced on kingslanding. She didn’t move because she wanted to experience a vacation.
Yep. All Rhaenrya did was not tell her about her sex life. That's literally all she did. Alicent even stabbed her while trying to maime her child. It's really frustrating to me that people just forget about those things.
@@StanleyMabonga Alicent’s fear are valid somehow, but ppl make it seem that Rhaenyra was always the fuckin villian. Alicent did rhaenyra fucking wrong many times, that made Rhaenyra want to move from kingslanding and many of her decisions later on, are mostly to protect herself.
@@StanleyMabonga you do realise that Alicent was mad at Rhaenyra because her father got sent away because of that lie? she was not being bitter for no reason. she ended up siding with Rhaenyra over her own father and it bit her in the ass later. y'all black fanatics are the most simple minded people in the universe
@@nataliaperez6203 No. Otto got sent away because Viserys realized that he manipulated him with Alicent. Viserys even said that he coupd no longer trust him. Alicent and her father manipulated Viserys into marrying her. Them getting mad that he fired Otto for his scheming is the peak of hypocrisy. All you Team Green stans are hypocrites.
The queen rheanyra love her at she didn’t star the war ❤
I hate the fact that people try to say rhaenyra is a bad person by using fire and blood, it was written by a maester who was pro-green and its implied that they may have altered history to paint the greens in a better light due the fact that the hightowers are close with the maesters, citadel and faith. Its true that rhaenyra wasn't in the best state of mind during the last year of her life but I don't think she was a bad person she just grew paranoid because she lost all her children something very traumatic for her. Hate rhaenyra all you want but it's clear she loved her children and watching one by one die was extremely devastating for her. I feel when people judge characters they should put themselves in the characters situation instead of looking at it objectively because at the end of the day all these characters see things in different way (ex: Alicent sees rhaenyra behavior as absurd due the her religious upbringing while rhaenyra sees is it as being free and enjoying her life since she's never been the type of girl who like following the rules both ladies are in the right if we put ourselves in their pov. It is only us, the viewers who can point out that their both in the wrong in one way or another since we can clearly see that alicent is in the wrong for shaming rhaenyra for what she does due the fact that she does the same when it benefits her and rhaenyra is also pushing the boundaries by trying to pass off three bastard children as velarions and expecting everyone to be ok with and she expects to get away with everything cause she is the heir).
Btw great video, i've just found your channel and your videos are great! I'll be watching more!
Hero. Villain. It does not matter. Rhanera is heir and Viserys never changed his mind. Alicent and Otto usurped the crown. That legally makes them traitors to the realm.
It isn't predatory mate. It's a different culture. She is totally not under age.
Even in many societies today the conset age is often 14. For example in Germany it It legal to have sex with 14 year olds
What the f has culture to do with it?! Yk what has to do with it? Morals and human decency. Also your example isn't completely right. The age of consent is 14, but your so has to be the oldest of 16, when you are 16, your so can be the the oldest with 21. That culture argument is dumb because those people who made this, were men who wanted to prey upon girls. Just because its culture, doesn't make it right.
@@corinnae.7877 'Murrica, once AGAIN lecturing the world on what their morals ought to be, because 'murrica says so. Get out of here.
Rhaenyra is definitely the villain.
Ah, one of the few green traitors who still dare to express their clearly wrong opinion on the internet
Maegor with Tits
@@drrohanjacob5343how are they traitors? Cause the greens are more in the right for wanting to keep the bloodline pure and the people happy. Rhaenyra is willing to wish harm upon her siblings for her own selfish desires
@@Thrawn23. What are you talking about rhenyras children even the strongs are purerer than the greens,and rhenyra is far purer than the usurper
Plus all of rhenyras sons could hatch dragons proving their dragon purity
Aemond and helena could not.
Thus the blacks are pure the dragons say so.
@@drrohanjacob5343 How are the Strongs purer? House Strong was descended from the First Men and House Hightower the Andals, so both the Green kids and Strong boys were half-Targaryen. So saying the Strongs are purer than the Greens when both them are half Valyrian is weird.
You do know that Daemon did not hatch a dragon right? Neither did King Viserys, Princesses Rhaenys and Alyssa, Princes Aemon and Baelon? All of them claimed their dragons. So are you saying that these Targaryen figures are not pure dragons because their eggs didn't hatch? Make it make sense.
Aemond claimed Vhagar as his grandfather, Prince Baelon did, and Helaena claimed Queen Rhaena's dragon Dreamfyre. Having a full-grown dragon is so much more advantageous than growing a hatchling and waiting years to ride them.
The Greens having Vhagar was one of the biggest issues the Blacks had. Vhagar killed Arrax and Meleys, burned the Riverlands. The Blacks had to hire dragonseeds for more dragons but then two who rode Vermithor and Silverwing betrayed them. And in the end Daemon and Caraxes had to do a suicide mission just to take Vhagar and Aemond out. But with Daemon dead, the Blacks lost their biggest asset. Without Daemon's help, Rhaenyra was ousted from KL and fell into the trap in Dragonstone and died.
Daemon and Rhae's son took the throne in the end but that was because he was the only one left [no one knew Viserys was still alive]. Aegon II named Aegon III his heir and not Jaehaera because he realised now that no one will ever want a woman on the throne after Rhaenyra's disastrous half-year reign.
*And btw, Viserys never hatched a dragon, so saying all Rhae's sons hatched dragons is inaccurate.
