This hurts me so much when their friendship fell apart you can see on episode 1 n 2 that they really care for eachother in episode 1 rhaenyra wanted to syrax with alicent and go on adventures when they grow up and in episode 2 alicent wanted the father and daughter to make amends after the death of aemma, there are moments where you can tell that they really care for eachother but those are my favs
when did she undermine Rhaenyra? shes been nothing but loyal dutiful and supportive of Rhaenyra this entire time. alicent made amends but was angry that rhaenyra would try to destroy her own reputation and position after all the time alicent spent defending her. it aint undermining to say "hey you probably shouldnt have fucked your uncle in a brothel"
Not even how much she wanted it. It is her RIGHT. Rhaenrya is heir to throne. Rhaenrya. Period. She is heir in blood and DECISION. She’s stealing Rhaenrya’s birthright as future Queen of Westeros.

@@godemperorofmankind3.091 not in the Targaryen line necessarily. Remember Rhaenys was heir of Aegon and Jaherys broke tradition of blood and they voted to put Viserys over her. It’s tradition to have males over females. However, it doesn’t mean they can’t change it. Rhaenrya was named heir established as heir by the king. Sworn loyalty as heir. She IS the heir.

@@allshookup1640 she is not the heir, according to law, tradition and precedence. which is why most of the realm preferred aegon and was like "wtf is going on" when viserys names rhaenyra heir out of nowhere for no real reason, ahead of her brother
I don't blame Rhaenyra for feeling betrayed by her best friend marrying her father during a time of grief but Alicent really did want to repair their relationship.
I blame Viserys. He should've never marry Allicent if he wanted Rhaenyra to be queen. And when he knew Allicent was comanded by her father, he should've at least threaten her for treason or take back her title as queen. The truth is by wanting everyone happy he f*cked up.
@@couldbahappychic1217 she actually did. A voice to begin with, she could have had spoken to Rhaenyra about what was going on before she found out the way she did
@@keniabravo4964 couldnt have. she was under orders from both Otto and the king. even if she could have, its clear that ultimately she concluded it would be a bad idea. when she becomes queen, she basically tells Otto to fuck off and relentlessly supports rhaenyra's claim
Truth. After the death of Rhaenyra's mother, Otta quickly made his move by sending Alicent to Viserys to comfort him in order to win him over. Even Corlys sent his little daughter Laena after Viserys. A lot of the woman in this story were being used. The sad part was all of them were used by their own family for personal gains.
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 actually she did she could’ve told rhaynera before her father blurted it out to the council she could’ve mentioned the affair she was having with her father in secret but didn’t that is a huge ass betrayal to rhaynera who was suppose to be her best friend or friend.
@@Mcherri it realy isnt. its otto betraying rhaenyra. and even if it somehow is, her fault, she spends the next two, possibyl three, episodes defending and protecting rhaenyra's claim and honor. she had conflicting loyalties, between her family and her friend, and now that shes become queen and actually has some agency, she is loyal to her and protects her even right to her father's face.
it's been nearly a year since this show premiered and I am still crying over themmm. Ahhhhjshdb this is such a perfect video of them tho it captures the heartbreak so well
Alicent tries to mend their friendship, but what if it wasn't just a friendship for Rhaenyra? What if it was an unspoken love? That's why Rhaenyra can't accept Aliecent's attempts, because Rhaenyra is heartbroken.
That I will never understand hbo the only thing I can figure is they wanted more controversy The TV show they actually made certain characters younger. The other girl you speak of is 14 almost 15 when they talk about marrying her to him, The king is in his mid to late twenties. Alicent they made her younger as well She was roughly 18 when married
@@Kibatsume1 Well they made Alicent younger to be the same age as Raenyra to portray their friendship for the show, and as a result of that they had to make Laena younger as well to fit the marriage storyline.
The one dimensional hate without understanding a character just becz they're on the way of the protagonist is so.. Alicent didnt had the privilege nor she had a father like Viserys who would let his daughter do wateva she wants without any repercussion. Being the only daughter of such an ambitious n strict man, she had to follow orders n fullfill the duty of a daughter. She was a pawn, a child bride n y'all act like she wanted to marry a man old enough to be her father. She saw that marriage as a duty to fullfill her father's wish n was still team Rhaenyra untill she felt betrayed. People coming for Alicent but not Viserys who chose to fall in love with his daughter's best frnd n marry her. Had he refused to remarry, noone would've batted an eye n Alicent would've been relieved without the fear of disappointing her father. V doomed everyone by deciding to remarry n having male heirs no less.
wait i wouldnt have known that they also changed the actor for alicent if not for one comment on this video omg i was confused the whole time why they only changed rhaenyra's! the actors look so much alike what the hell
I mean because Alice think kids end up ruling and becoming king so you don’t want her looking the complete same when 20 years has passed people forget how far apart these events happened
The Dance of Dragons happens around 130 after Ageons Conquest (AC). Currently we are in 108 AC with the Death of Craghas Daghar. So we still have around 22 years to cover before the Dance Starts. Do you still want such young actresses playing 20 year older version of themselves? :D
The point is when you replaced the same characters with the older version of them is that you basically killed off that said characters with no closure and in a good story characters driven the plots it will never go well.

The way Alicent tried to make amends but then undermines her.
She KNEW how bad Rhaenyra wanted this.
when did she undermine Rhaenyra? shes been nothing but loyal dutiful and supportive of Rhaenyra this entire time.

A beautiful friendship that was destroyed little by little until it was completely ruined , totally sad
It’s sad to see that they truly do want to be friends (or more) but the men in their lives pit them against each other.

well said.
How did SHE feel betrayed? lmfao What she got lied to? Like she did to Rhaenyra? crazy

They haven't changed yet, it's the same actress until they do the big time jump. Olivia Cook hasn't started yet (latter 5 episodes)
After seeing this Alicent pregnant why do they even bother with changing the actors is beyond me
I mean because Alice think kids end up ruling and becoming king so you don’t want her looking the complete same when 20 years has passed people forget how far apart these events happened

This is basically them in their teenage years . You don’t want them looking the same after YEARS have passed by you know?
