You have to be all in or not at all! I think him telling her she looks like her mother was shade to say she is a simple minded woman that doesn't have what it takes!

    Rhaenys really won me over with the mocking bow from dragonback, paraphrasing so much of her earlier conversation with the Queen in a single gesture. Also, it was deeply gratifying to witness such a spectacular jack-in-the- box reveal, after all that low-key winding up about being separated from her dragon.

  • @scLefQ

    During Rhaenys' conversation with Alicent while kept prisoner, Alicent explicitly stated that she wanted no harm to come to Rhaenyra or a her children. In this context, Rhaenys believed her and stopped once Alicent stepped in front of Aegon. It is clear to see that Rhaenys understood that Alicent meant her no ill will; hence her being spared when face to face with a dragon.

      It’s just dumb and out of character. The greens have dragons too. Why wait and give the greens a chance to do any more damage and kill any more lords who dont bend the knee? The writers made her go full retard in this scene. A better scene would have been that the greens escape though some secret door and get to a safe place. What does Rhaenys think the consequences of letting the greens live? They have the entire kings army and the knee bent of the noble lords. She even saw the noble lords who did not bend the knee hanging from the rafters for Gods sake. That scene is just stupid. No intelligent, wise and experienced dragon lord
      Like Rhaenys would ever let greens live in this situation. It’s out of character and nonsense. It reminds me of when the joker or a villain has Batman and Robin and has to tell them how he is going kill them, and walks away so Batman can get free and escape...every time.
      This writing harkens back to GOT season 8 where intelligent wise characters do stupid things that make no sense.

    8:22 the same motif is utilized during this episode, primarily at the beginning. As the camera pans through the quiet castle, we are treated to a doorway shot, framing two windows within it, divided by a piller, a delightful visual cue to the divide within one house, the blacks and the greens. We also see the same cue again when Alicent is trading words with her father, demanding that Rhaenyra be called in and not harmed and further asserting her authority over matters on Aegon's rule on the throne, with either standing on opposite sides of the window (16:30), showing a divide between her and Otto's grip on power.

      Agreed people are really hating on the scene just cause she didn’t wipe em out. Personally I thought she would, this being GoT, but was hoping she didn’t because like you said it would have been way too drastic. I think for non book readers (like myself) the scene is great and necessary. Kinda like a “This means war” moment and it really makes the whole ending a lot more powerful. Simply flying away on her dragon peacefully to warn Rhaenyra doesn’t create the hype or emotion that’s needed to explain just how big of a No No this whole thing was. Just my thought though

    • @homerinchinatown2
      @homerinchinatown2 Рік тому +3

      I agree with the idea that this was a power move, showing that she was a force to be reckoned with - and that true power does not come from a name or a title. Besides, she's not in love with Rhaenyra/Damon either, given what she believes they did. Why should she do things to benefit them? Rhaenys' house is strongest standing on its own, rather than being solely on Team Hightower or Team Targaryen.

    Personally, I also see Rhaenys not instantly vaporizing the greens being related to hoping for a peaceful resolution*- something that would be complicated by just killing them all, which the realm in general would take offense to. (I also doubt that Rhaenys would want to become a kinslayer if she thought it may not be necessary)

    I couldn't have said Dracarys either. A civil war would have been avoided, but Prince Aemond and Helaena are awesome.
    Aemond is sharp, smart, great warrior, true King material.
    And Helaena has the Targaryan prescience gift which makes her a true Targaryan ruler. She can be awkward, but just because, incredibly, no one taught her how to master her gift.

    I think Rhaenys not killing the greens was 2 things, firstly it's not her fight .. It's Rhaenyra's , another one is her show of power.. In this singular moment she showed the greens..

If Rhaenys had killed the greens it would not have been a justified act of war, it would have been straight up murder for which she would have to be held accountable. Even tho the act would have given Rhaenyra the throne, Rhaenyra would not be able to sheild Rhaenys from justice, lest Rhaenyra look culpable.

      Agreed but them denying him love, affection, attention, respect, affirmation is probably what made him so depraved! Although it could have been the pressure of Otto and his mom wanting the crown for him and him understanding early on that heavy is the head that wears the crown.... Anyway, it's evident once he received that praise and respect from his subjects that being starved from it has created in him a lust and greed for it! They will not be able to control his reign! He will be what he has always been, just on steroids, O.D level! He will over do and in revenge like fashion his use of power in demanding to be worshiped, obeyed and to openly be as depraved as he wants to be! They will end up having to dethrone him rather quickly I think! He didn't make for a good king when he didn't want it and will make for an even worse king now that he does want it!

    All that underhanded plotting, sneaking, and murder to put Aegon on the throne, ordering Rheanyra and her family’s death, locking up Rheanys, forcing the Lords to comply or else, and it fails to dawn on Alicent she is in the wrong. You don’t have to do that shady shit when you are doing the right thing. If Rhaenyra were a tyrant, maybe, but she was the rightful heir and didn’t nothing to wrong the realm. Alicent was just pissed Rhaenyra got some good D, and so did Laenor.
    Not to mention Otto is doing the very thing Alicent was convinced Rhaenyra was going to do, slaughter the other side to shore up their claim. To say I hate the hypocritical Greens and Hightowers, is an understatement. Rhaenys should have been Queen, and none of this frickery would have happened

    Rheanys is free at last when she flew out of the dragon pit, while Alicent, the one who thought she could be free from man’s manipulations, still remained in the same cage. This episode showed so many metaphors of scenes that Alicent was still trapped in the prison out of her own wills. And personally, I think the way Otto told Alicent how much she was alike to her mother, is not a praise, but a sarcasm that no matter what she think she is doing, she is still one part of this unbroken wheel.
