Team Black is strong with this couch!
Well it’s Rhaenyra or a rapist so I know who I’m picking
Well,you are the normies after all
Aegon is the one rightful king after all. Stannis and Joffrey have already told us who won this war)
I cant imagine anyone not being Team Black. While I think Id have liked them best anyway I do wish theyd been more vague about the Viserys and Aegon thing. We as an audience know Viserys was delirious and dying and was talking about a prophecy. Not his son. So we know for a fact that Team Green are in the wrong no matter what else happens. Not to mention killing the kid. I just wish they had found a way for Green to be slightly more sympathetic. Because the whole marketing campaign is based on the fact that you have to "choose a side". But the show has been heavily in favor of the Blacks. So people supporting the Greens will be few and far between.
@@greendragon4870 considering that stannis is a descendant of rhenerya and not alicent it really is clear who won
the way yall are mixing up names means yall need a refresher 😂
Facts
They called vaghar Belarion in the last trailer and now called her a he 😂
@@rohaankhan7523called luke jace and aegon aemond 💀😭
@@rohaankhan7523it’s a big fucking dragon who cares lmfao
@@areallyawsomename the other big dragons skull was shown in the first season 2 or more time's...
I love how much bigger the budget feels this season. The costumes and wigs have been updated, the special effects look enhanced, the lighting, cinematography and set design have been improved as well. I just hope that improvement in quality translates to the script as well. I don't want to repeat the dissapointment of season 7/8.
fax
Honestly i think the script in season one was as close to perfection as anything in my opinion, so all i need from them is to maintain that quality haha.
bro GRRM is involved and the book is finished for this show, It would have to be ONE hell of a mess up if they manage to ruin this. They have it layed out for them
I just hope they don't trade good story telling for fancy effects.
this comment just reminded me that during the shooting of s2, there were actually no writers present on set because of the strike so... 🙃
Y'all still think Vhaegar is a "he"?
They have done justice to Sunfyre from the glimpse I got. It looks sick.
Im glad I ain't the only one noticed. Beautiful orange/red dragon
@@paulkana4235 It's supposed to be pink and golden and the most beautiful dragon the world had ever seen.
YES!!!
Targaryens had not a lot of Mad in their history actually. And the whole “it’s bc of inbreeding” also makes no sense, considering incest was the way in Valyria and they thrived for a long time.
We can count in a hand the truly mad Targaryens. Others were cruel or violent, but mad we have The Mad King and perhaps Aerion Brightflame. And they were born after Targaryens started marrying other houses.
And even their madness was not inheritance only. It was circunstancial as well, grew with traumatic events.
The Mad Targaryen narrative is one used a lot to demonize them for not following the customs.
It just drives me nuts how much people took Cersei's BS to heart and have treated her words like they were fact. Out of THREE HUNDRED YEARS of Targaryen rule, there were only three truly insane Targaryen kings, and out of those three, only two were the psychotic murdering kind of insane. Baelor the Blessed was more of a danger to himself than anyone else, seeing as he starved himself to death with constant fasting.
The rest who were bad, like Aegon the Unworthy and this little shit Aegon II in the book/show were just jerks, not insane.
Not really true. Madness manifests in different ways. Maegor was cruel beyond reasonable human standards. Baelor was religious to the extent of madness. And that's not counting the Targaryens who didn't become kings.
Targaryens also had plenty of twisted stillborns.
@@scientia.veritas Stillborns were normal for the period. I agree with Baelor, but Maegor not necessarily. I don’t think he was cruel because he was a Targaryen. Yes, he was a sociopath, but he grew more cruel with circumstance as well. It’s not as if both him or Aerys became what they became just because they were Targaryens and this is a fate that comes from a coin toss. Especially because its not even close of being 50/50. Mad, truly mad, there’s not much. Both Maegor and Aerys had events that drove then further to paranoia and madness. Baelor’s connection with religion, sure, we don’t know what drove him to that extreme. There were other tragic examples, but they all come with an context. Traumatic events, loss of loved ones, etc etc. Just like normal life.
The “twisted babies” like Visenya and Rhaego. There’s a lot of theories for that. Visenya was born prematurely, and there’s a lot of saying about the dragon lords who bonded themselves with dragons through blood magic. Rhaego also died through interference.
Now, with the other stillbirths. Wives made to bear kids too young, the lack of hygiene of the period, the own traumatic events lots of the Targaryen women went through, and that’s without even bringing up the maester’s conspiracy theory.
Yes, there were mad Targaryens, but they were a lot more the exception than the rule.
To maybe clear up some confusion: Alicent heard Viserys talking about *Aegon* on his deathbed, she just assumed it was their son, not the Conqueror. It's not important in the grand scheme of things because the Greens would've usurped the Throne either way, but it seems like they're making it *extremely* important to Alicent as a character, which is an approach I find quite interesting and like.
Softens her and gives her plausible deniability lol
Also she was the only one to know about Viserys' prophetic dream about setting a son on the Iron Throne, so when she hears him talking about a prophetic dream she thinks he means that one, because Rhaenyra is the only one to know about Aegon the Conqueror's prophetic dream. It's like a very high-stakes game of telephone.
Nah, she heard what she wanted and she would have done the same without it. She asked for Lyonel Strong to be sent away so Otto could be Hand again and was complicit to Larys. She planned the petition. She had been preparing everything since Aegon was a kid.
He never said Prince Aegon was my heir, he said Aegon had a dream about the dark and the Prince that was promised and the song of ice and fire, that was sufficient information to know it wasn’t her Aegon who is a useless drunk.
@@aquele4virou3 Sure she probably would have done the same even without Viserys saying it, but it seems liks she's trying to justify her conflict about this entire situation (in episode 9 and the trailer) with that thought. It seems that the events of episode 8 and her brief reuinion with Rhaenyra softened Alicent a bit towards her and the events of episode 9 suggest that she's trying to minimize the damage the conflict will cause and keep Rhaenyra relatively safe. In all of the promotional material she seems deeply conflicted, she obviously doesn't feel good about how this whole thing sent down.
It is also true that he told her about a probably prophetic dream that his son would sit the throne.
the intro is too iconic to change, it’s like replacing the ATLA intro or Star Wars intro
@@ghostlee6434 trust me that if they had used a different song, she'd be the first one to complain that they should have used the original song all along
Fire and blood! Team black all the way.
I WANT SUNFYRE! SUNFYRE!!! I wish they showed us the scene of Aegon flying around King's Landing on Sunfyre's back back in episode 9
Facts. Sunfyre looking like it's ready for WAR!
@@paulkana4235 True. Plus it's also one of the only times Aegon shows interest and care for something, his dragon Sunfyre. So having that will be great since we'll have more with Aegon than just someone who drinks, fucks, and wanks off all the time.
Don’t forget that another reason Rhaenyra wants the throne is because of the prophecy her dad told her and trusted her with. She knows that a bigger threat will come and that if her dad had wanted Aegon on the throne, he would have been told. She knows he has no idea and that puts the whole realm in much bigger danger
0:52Same universe. Same theme song. Fine with me! Love it! 7:24 jace didn't get eaten. Lucerys did.
team alicent and rhaenyra finally realizing that they are ideologically opposed to their male relatives and the soul crushing psychological impact of that realization 😩 love sociopolitical drama
The potential the writers have creates with these two as invidivual characters and with their relationship is massive. I just wish the fandom stopped being idiots who constantly complain about Alicent not being book accurate like this isn't an infinitely more interesting approach to the character than an evil stepmother who was threatened by a child in the book.
big fax@@Marta-uv4id
they aren't idiots either their kid/grandchild died they can have mixed feelings at the beginning not in the long run, war is serious, their own lives and family lives depends of how savy smart they and their team are, just by survival they are players or they should be, if the script doesn't do that since at least half of s2 then is just disrespectful they infantilize female characters way too much, but i'm not pessimistic i'll just wait
@@Marta-uv4idsorry but book alicent actually wanted the throne. She was her own character with her own greed. This alicent and rhaenyra are more puppets to their male counterparts. Neither of them hold a candle to the likes of Daenerys or Cersei
There is no team alicent
Otto is really the littlefinger here, he planted all the seeds and he's watching the world burn. He's sending his grandkids to fight on dragons while he's eating his popcorn safely in the castle.
I’m 37 seconds in and it’s confirmed, Marketa is a rebel and a traitor. 😅
😂
i know they didnt lean on it *super* hard in s1 but you guys realize alicent has every reason to want to believe viserys wanted aegon on the throne to validate her entire life of marital rape and forced birth, but despite that in this very trailer she's managed to verbalize that her life was for nothing. i dont think the general audience is at all prepared for whats really going on with her duty vs genuine desires arc
Facts 😂
She really doesn't though! For like 20 years, Viserys flat out refused time and time again to name Aegon king and she damn well knows this. In the seconds before his death, dude went on a poppy fueled rant that she didn't even understand outside of hearing Aegon's name, and she decided to just run with this and declare her son King!
She is full of shit!
Can't wait! Team Black ❤
I’m not team green but I am team Aemon. He’s the kind of crazy I can root for 😂
Aemond
Team Sunfyre 💛💚💛
Aemond is a goddamn fool talking about some "My Uncle is a challenge I welcome, If he dares face me." Child please, you DO NOT want that smoke.
Lmao. Daemon was afraid of him in the book and said he could only hope to beat him with help.
"The Chronicles of Maidenpool tell us Lord Mooton made so bold as to suggest that the dragonriders divide their search, so as to cover twice the ground.
Prince Daemon refused. Vhagar was the last of the three dragons that
had come to Westeros with Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters, he
reminded his lordship. Though slower than she had been a century
before, she had grown nigh as large as the Black Dread of old. Her fires burned hot enough to melt stone, and neither Caraxes nor Sheepstealer could match her ferocity. Only together could they hope to withstand her."
@@reinsaxony4623 Daemon was NEVER afraid of Aemond in the books, lol. This passage that you just used was Daemon talking about Vhagar, there’s a difference between being scared of a big ass dragon and a little boy, even if the little boy rides the dragon. Also Daemon wasn’t even that scared of Vhagar either, we all know what happens. Aemond was piss poor throughout that whole book and kept getting hoed by his uncle. Please be serious.
@@nyeishaclark95 ???
They fight on dragonback, Daemon never swings a single sword during the entire war. And you talk like he was this legendary fighter, Cole absolutely destroyed him in the book.
Yes, we all know what happens, Daemon gives up on life and commits suicide to bring Aemond with him. It doesn't change the fact that, before giving up on life, he was afraid and wanted to face Aemond 2v1.
Aemond contributes to his faction way more than Daemon, wtf are you talking about? Lmao. Aemond kills 3 dragons, Daemon only kills one, the same fight he died too.
@@reinsaxony4623 Hahahaha Daemon was NEVER afraid of that little boy. He hoed him throughout the whole book. He outsmarted him at every level and made him look plain stupid and childish. And Criston Cole look stupid too for following that dumbass kid. I would advise you to reread the book because trust, Daemon was never afraid. Also saying Daemon never swings a sword is a bold face lie because of the fight. You can stay in your petty delusions but real book readers know what’s up.
bro watched House of Daemon🥱
TEAM BLACK 🏴☠️
TEAM GREEN LETS GOOO!!!!
THANKS for this, Normies!!! I'm slowly getting excited again!!!
Aemond really thinks he can take on Daemon…
He can. Considering neither of them win that fight I'd say he's more than a challenge.
@@hunterhorsehelmsley7315 Dude got darksistered 🤣 No eyes left.
@@kaboom3423 It was his injured eye. His healthy eye wasn't pierced.
Team green is more fun to watch 💚💚💚
"Everybody hates Targaryens."
Ehhh it is kind of 50-50 at this point. While everyone loved Jaehaerys rule, Maegor the cruel wasn't too long ago.. 1 generation removed, actually.
It was Aegon the first, Aenys, Maegor, Jaehaerys, and now Viserys when the series picks up.
Aenys fucked up and the Faith militant went to to war with him. Maegor wiped a bunch of them out (the Hightowers hated Maegor, which is why Otto really hates Daemon cuz he is ultratraditionalist in terms of Valyrian cultures... and the Hightowers are really deeply religious and stepped in the seven, so Daemon reminded Otto of Maegor. He says as much).
Jaehaerys took over after his uncle, Maegor, died on his throne. He came in young and confident, pulled some really cool stuff. So, he did a lot to restore the Targaryens to that peak level. Lots of Dragons hatched, and he had a bunch of kids who died and left their dragons on Dragonstone and some riderless older dragons - the wild dragons.
So, Westeros is really new at this succession thing. Visenya really just stole the throne for her son - Maegor. The throne should have passed to Aenys kids, but they said fuck it. Only because Maegor had no legitimate kids and was incredibly cruel, so the succession was restored.
It’s really the religious folks coming from Oldtown that they have to worry about…… as we shall see.
For those who don’t know the Dragon that’s shown at the end of the trailer in chains is Drogons mother!!!
No this is Seasmoke
@@grindogrindo8933 I’m not even gonna debate you.
They’re not ready for the smoke coming this season
Clear lines should be drawn within the first couple of episodes. I expect everything to kick off somewhere around episode 3. All I know is none of us are ready for what's about to happen. Lol.
Edit: Also, this reminds me of the marketing that the Walking Dead used in season 2. Shane vs Rick, and who should be the leader of the group. That's how it was advertised and this gives me the same sort of feeling.
I'm Team Green 💚.
But I also love that HBO is basically telling everyone, "Yes pick a side. Continue fighting each other on the internet. Mwaah ha ha ha ha!"
As someone who used to be team Black, it irritates me when people continuously make the argument of "the realm can't accept a woman on the throne" like, seriously.. that's not the only factor that cause people to reject her. It's that on top of that, Rhaenyra didn't do a good job in maintaining her good image.
^Exactly she had three obvious bastards, stayed holed up on kings landing and Dragonstone without really trying to get to know the other houses or make alliances, everyone thinks she and Daemon killed Laenor, and people wanted her as heir specifically so Daemon wouldn’t get the throne, so of course she married him. She has repeatedly shot herself and her reputation in the foot. It’s no wonder why some houses don’t want her on the throne.
@@fourth-dimensionalbeing9737so many men who was king never managed to have good image, and we all know if rhaenyra was men none of this happened
@@ismahanomar4169 yes, but she's not. She can't sit the throne. The idea of her ascending the throne is already controversial. The people reject her, so she have to earn their approval. She can't just say "but my father gave it to me!" And expect the entirety of the realm to instantly become progressive and accepting of her.
@@fourth-dimensionalbeing9737 The fact is Viserys made a terrible decision.
1. It was hypocritical. He himself was only king because a women wasn't seen as fit to sit the throne. His claim to throne was so far weaker then his sons. But he still chooses to name his daughter as his heir given these circumstances.
2. He had two legitimate sons. It wasn't the right time to change the tradition. Him being passed up would have been one of those times to change it to where women could sit the throne. Not the current situation where he has two sons. You don't have to be smart to see that this could cause problems, especially when your two sons ride dragons.
3. It was clear that Rhaenyra's children were bastards. Visery's still choose to ignore it.
4. Naming one of his sons heir clearly would have stopped a potential civil war. He risked so much, when it could have been easily avoided. The decision comes across as extremely selfish and unwise.
i hope with watching this show there can be balanced conversations about both sides cause it’s clear the show writers are very much going out of their way to humanize both sides of the conflict to make it hit harder and i honestly respect that.
Yes and I think they might make the Black side more morally grey to balance out how Green is pretty much seen as the villains from last season.
@@islasullivan3463 I actually like when they give characters more depth and make it harder to choose a side. To me that means the writers and actors are doing their job. And with this conflict being a civil war between family the conflict is gonna hit so much harder if we’re invested in both sides. We’re gonna love and hate people on both sides and that’s the whole point.
^I agree that’s part of the reason why I think they’re going to make Team Black more morally grey as right now many people see Rhaenyra and her team as heroes, or as being the right side. I feel like they’re going to take measures to balance it out more.
@@islasullivan3463 Yeah agreed.
@@islasullivan3463their is literally nothing Rhaenyra could do in this next season that would make me switch from her side
*Vhagar flying*

One true king aegon 💚
Team Green 💚👑
whew. hi navi 👋🏾
also, cannot WAIT to see daemon and aemond possibly face off!
I wonder who will change team after s2ep1
everytime someone compares aegon to joffrey an angel loses its wings
It's hard not to tbh. 2 very unlikable characters that are king, and we feel don't deserve this title.
So the show is making it about rhaenyra vs alicent rather mostly rhaenyra vs aegon interesting
i love how the whole show is centered around their relationship, even rhaenyra doesn't see aegon as a person, just as alicent's son which is why the betrayal is even worse for her
The theme song is not to be touched
💯
Writing is art George literally created his own world that is creative imagination lol
Team Green !
What a really smart idea to give both sides a trailer, best decision ever, especially from a marketing perspective! Clever! Team Black of course!😁
My previous UA-cam name and photo before Batman was of Daemon Targaryen, so it’s obvious which side I’m on. I bought a Team Daemon hat from Redbubble although I find it a tad too small. I prefer my House Targaryen sigil hat from New Era much more but I am wearing my Team Daemon hat today.
Regarding the HOT D trailers, where is Roddy the Ruin? He’s a minor character on Team Black but he goes out like a badass!! I think Cregan Stark will be a fan favorite once more people get to see him. And we can see the Cargyll twins fighting. Will Daemon ever get his long straight hair back or is Ewan Mitchell permanently going to use that wig for Aemond?
We got a lot on our plates coming up. We got to see The Crow trailer, The Acolyte trailer, Furiosa trailer, and the new Alien trailer recently. Now we got HOT D and Beetlejuice 2x. We got the new Ghostbusters this week which I’m seeing later today next to Dune 2 and Kung Fu Panda 4. We’ll get Godzilla x Kong next week. That’s a lot of content to see.
I finally got the original Xbox games to play on my Steam Deck while I’m also playing Final Fantasy VII Remake and saw the part the other day when Cloud had to dress up as a girl. Man, they really went over-the-top on that. I can’t find time to see all of these new trailers right now. So many video games to play mixed with watching new movies and TV shows.
Speaking of Final Fantasy VII Remake, the OG FF7 fans sorta sees FF7R as it’s own thing operating in a different universe. I believe that’s how GRRM book fans treats these HBO shows. It’s not necessarily canon in their minds but they’ll still watch it because they’re curious how well it translates for live action.
Fire & Blood only covers a few chapters of the Dance. So writers have to add stuff the same way Tetsuya Nomura and Co. had to pad the first disc of the original FF7 and turn into 30-50 hours of gameplay. HBO writers are adding things like Rhaenys mass murdering innocent people and Daemon choking Rhaenyra when those never happened in GRRM’s book.
Great year! Loving all this new stuff we’re getting. We just got a Penguin trailer yesterday. Loki, House of the Dragon, and Andor are my three favorite series since Game of Thrones last aired in 2019. HOT D S2 is my anticipated for this year.

I also enjoyed Winning Time even though I HATE THE LAKERS. Jason Clarke was absolutely hilarious as Jerry West. I’m curious about Shogun.
Chris I need like a whole video on WHAT you just said about meeting GRRM!?!
noooo where is rana? i really wanted to see her reaction
You guys are definitely in the minority on not liking them using the same Game of Thrones intro song. I've watched maybe 25 reactions to House of the Dragon and I would say probably at least 20 of them liked it.
I know that we’re always told to let them know what we think at the end of every video, and while I genuinely want to contribute engaging with a channel I enjoy…sometimes their reactions don’t leave me feeling comfortable offering any sort of reply.
As someone who understands the overall point of _The Dance of the Dragons_ but still likes the Greens 💚anyway due to how fascinating they are, it’s frustrating and a bit off-putting to see any opportunity to have an in-depth conversation about them either dismissed or trivialized. Maybe this will change once more seasons air but if not, then I’ll just have to look elsewhere.
These are brainless people who are only here for clout. They know Team Black is famous so they will choose that side. That’s how they make their money. Dont expect an intelligent discourse from these people. They are not real fans of the lore.
Agreed, the reason the show is so appealing to me is that both the Greens and the Blacks have monsters, innocents and good people with horrible responsibilities in their ranks. It's what makes the conflict interesting. Writing one side off as evil is so tedious. If Daemon (wife murderer who married his niece) can be multifaceted, then so can Aegon, and so on.
I love that they use the same theme song. It always irritated me when Rogue One never used the opening crawl
The Targaryens were pretty much loved - if not almost worshipped - until Robert’s Rebellion. Robert did a lot of the spreading of anti-Targaryen propaganda with “madness” and dragon-spawn”. Quite ironic considering Robert’s grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen, and she’s who Robert used to legitimize his claim to the throne. Overall, while there were a couple mad Targs, most of them didn’t sit the throne. And even the ones deemed mad could probably be argued not to be so(Except for Rhaegel). Aerion drunk wildfire but he did practice magic and was obsessed with bringing dragons back. He probably was trying to perform some botched ritual. And if we don’t call the Targs who participated in the Tragedy At Summerhall mad for doing their own version of the same thing, we can’t really say Aerion is. Sure Aerion was vicious and cruel, but so is Tywin, Oberyn, Robert, Theon, etc. Baelor was a religious fanatic but he’s mostly celebrated. Viserys was an abusive asshole, but he really wasn’t mad. He was a lot like Theon tbh. The only true mad king was Aerys II. And his first 15 or so years were fine until he got captured and tortured at Duskendale for like 2 years. He had an inferiority complex towards Tywin before that, but that’s not really mad. It seems like they have more mad people than “normal” cuz they’re royals and in the public eye. If we compared them to the other houses, there’d probably be just as many mad individuals for each of them.

Dorne isn't part of the Seven Kingdoms. The Targaryens never concurred it.
Are u guys reacting to the eras tour film ? Lol

I know how it'll all turn out because I read the book. But knowing all that now, I'm for Team Black because no one in the Dance is better suited for the Iron Throne than Prince Jacaerys Velaryon.

Team Green~💚
I’m team black but will be challenged and like Team Green better this season and then come back to rooting for Team Black.
why is the show trying to make everybody choose🤣🤣both teams are awful and I can't think of one fully good person on either side. Both sides are trash as fuck, im here for the chaos.
Umm Halaena literally exists
Is that danny devito in the back?
I absolutely hate this marketing. "Let's take all of the complex characters and reduce it to football teams" is such a D&D move.
I don’t blame them honestly. Even when only the books were out the fan base would still discuss what “team” they were on. People were always gonna vilify one side or another, might as well play into that lol
hey what does Danny DiVito has to say about this?
Everyone does not hate Targaryens
I was like what are you saying?!
1:51 clearly green lady didn’t pay attention to the 1st season. He didn’t name Aegon as his heir

Side note: I hope y’all have all seen Dune Part 2 🔥
Everybody actually really wants Targaryen blood at this point yall. The Targaryens are the ruling family right now - they aren’t hated they’re desired more than anyone.
Only the OG Normies should be watching this! I wonder how many of these guys actually read "Fire And Blood"?
I'm confused why we didn't get to see Rhaenyra's other son in the black trailer. (I forgot their names but the eldest, Jace?)
You hear his voice. Can’t fit all those characters in
@@LaCheeseriehe’s in the trailer when you hear his voice
He’s in the trailer
Jace did appear in the trailer, it showed he was in the north, on the wall
I think you're actually in the minority with wanting a different theme song. Most people like they kept the same.
"Everyone hates Targaryens." Urm, no they don't. I don't know if she meant in real life which isn't true as all the spin-offs are related to the Targaryens. The only one related to another house (Starks) got cancelled. Targaryens pay the bills.
If she meant in Westeros then still not true. Especially in this period. Game of Thrones is post Targaryen rule and most of characters are of houses who overthrew them so they're all obviously biased. Even then the books show there are many houses that remain loyal/and or loved the Targaryens.
In this time period, the Targaryens are not hated at all - especially with the peaceful and prosperous reigns of Jaehaerys I and Viserys I just having happened.
Westeros under the Targaryens was when Westeros was at its peak and most prosperous (new roads built, abolishment of all remnants of slavery, ending barbaric practices like 'the first night' where lords could sleep with women getting married in their lands before their husbands, introduction a unified code of laws, etc).
The show overused the Targaryen madness so much when there were less than 5 mad Targaryens and most of these (if not all) through circumstances. Other houses had violent rulers (including the Starks) but they don't get call mad because they didn't practice incest as much as the Targaryens.
It's like another commenter said, the few mad Targaryens actually emerged after they began marrying other houses.
“Everyone hates targaryens”??
greeen goooooooo
Team Shepherd. Iykyk.

Choosing a side based on who fits to sit on the throne? lmfao hell nah, they both suck at being a good king/queen. The whole point to like Targaryens is that they spit fire and spill blood. I'll be on the side of those who'll be more entertaining to watch.

Team Black
they dont need to change the opening its still game of thrones
team green for a few reasons but i want to point out that the war is founded on the argument of what’s more important: the ruler’s word or male preference primogeniture. aegon is the true heir based on their world’s tradition, religion, and customs. even in the targaryen line although sometimes a girl was an heir, she was never crowned as the ruler. the eldest daughter was overlooked for another male contender. at the great council of the past, viserys was crowned because of this but it really wasn’t even a battle between him and rhaenys. it was truly a choice between the claims of him and laenor, rhaenys’s son. so viserys not changing the succession goes against what the lords of the kingdom and king jaeherys decided at the time (the precedent). and now lords must be thinking about the claims of aegon and his future line of children vs jacaerys (rhaenyra’s eldest son). a legitimate prince vs a bastard. if rhaenyra’s the ruler, following her death, another succession crisis and war would likely happen between jacaerys and her other sons from daemon (because most ppl think daemon’s sons are legitimate not knowing that laenor is alive, so even those sons are bastards.) so for stability and the good of the realm, they might swing aegon’s way.
