They made both Rhaenyra and Alicent weak. Both women were ruthless and cunning in the histories. I wanted chubby to fat Rhaenyra who did what she had to do to get what she wanted. I wanted an Alicent who was smart and cunning who was ruled by her ambitions, faith, and tradition (and who loved her children!). The show is the Temu version of the book.
As cool as that would be I highly doubt that’s true. Just seems a little odd how women (even dragon riding women) didn’t hold much power. Then all of a sudden this civil war breaks out and Rhaenyra and Alicent are blamed. Rhaena and Rhaenys would have loved some of that power but both were overlooked by countless of men. When Rhaenyra took Kingslanding she only put Otto to the sword. She never once tried to kill Helaena or her stepmother Alicent. When she fled Kingslanding she didn’t take Alicent as a hostage. I don’t believe all changes from the book were “maester propaganda” but this time I will say that it’s fishy. It was Aemond that killed Luke It was Daemon that killed Jaehaerys It was Cole, Aegon and Aemond that ambushed Rhaenys It was Otto who set up the battle of the gullet It was Hugh and Ulf that turned on Tumbleton It was Otto and the Lannisters that divided the crowns treasury Alicent allegedly let Viserys corpse rot and Rhaenyra took Ottos head. These acts could be valid in my opinion. We have no idea how Viserys treated Alicent in regards to making heirs and she might have grown cold towards him. Otto… do I even need to explain. George confirmed that Helaena jumped on her own accord in his latest HotD rant/update.
I've never bought into this lame excuse that fans like to give that the books are "biased". Interestingly, this only applies to the Black faction, the books describe horrible things about the Greens too, what I hear people say the most is that Book Alicent is an archetype of an evil stepmother, and in the show (at least in season 1) she has more nuances. Many times you see fans who don't like the Greens citing acts that are in the books themselves. When it's the Greens who are portrayed in a bad light, the book is the absolute truth, but when it's the Blacks then it's all made up by the maesters. Very convenient.
I had way more faith in Ryan before HOTD 👑⚔️🐉🔥 now he's very similar to Dan and Dave they definitely misrepresented Rhaenera I prefer the thicker one in the books 📚
They all are being whitewashed. The Blacks, although they seem to suffer from it the most, in my opinion, and it's making the Greens far more interesting in the show with the exception of Daemon and his Harrenhal side quest.
Its like the show runners fell in love with rhaenyra actor and changed everything. And used how the book was written to get away with it. Like grm wrote a story was all bs..

They started off so well. It's made me furious how they have deviated in Season Two. All I wanted was a faithful-ish translation. Now it's just silly.

Black fans love to pick n choose. If they have any standards they’re called double standards.
i want chubby rhaenyra. jealous of Alicent's beauty
I prefer book Rhaenyra, she's more interesting and more morally grey

definitely white washing her but don’t even get me started on what they did to my queen alicent
Too much whitewashing is making the show boring
