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.

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.

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.

@Pkan957 Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

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

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!

I think you are right. It wasn't her fight. 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.

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. (The one both Rhaenyra and Daenerys hope to break)

Viserys thought Alicent was Rhaenyra during that final conversation. He thought he was answering his daughters question about the Song of Ice and Fire from their earlier conversation when Rhaenyra visited Viserys' bedside. He was reassuring Rhaenyra but Viserys was confused and Alicent heard what she wanted to hear.

@recoveringsoul755 Жыл бұрын

YES!! Thank you. His daughter was supposed to be queen, "It's YOU" He said thinking alicent was his daughter and referring to her earlier question. He affirmed her as his successor publicly and repeatedly. And even Alicent doesn't seem too fond of Aegon. King was referring to the other Aegon's dream, in reply to his own daughters question. Her father should have asked her EXACTLY what did the king say to you, his exact words?

I think he missed the mark and didnt follow her character's dialogue in the past several episodes leading to this point. She's lost her children to this game, that's more important to her than the throne itself. She can not will herself to personally kill another mother who stands in front and trying to protect her child, creating more dead children for this game of thrones.

@@eminencerain848 yes, she barely cares about the throne, all she wants is her family's well being. It was clearly shown in the episode where rhaneyra and laenor gets married, king viserys collapses on the floor at the end, everyone around him tries to grab him, but the scene is shot from the top, which shows as if that everyone is grabbing the crown. Only Rhaenys doesn't lunges, thus proving her disinterest.

I was waiting for your video! This was a great episode! I loved it when Rhaenys came crashing out! So badass! I thought it was an explosion, just like the Sept, but no. It was a motherfucking *_DRAGON!_* 🐉🐲 YASSS! I didn't like that she didn't kill them, but I get the show has to do that so that we get the Dance of Dragons. The scene I could've done without was Larys doing his best Quentin Tarantino impression. I hated how they transitioned from Larys jerking off to Alicent's feet to Aegon eating something that looked a lot like man "gravy." So fucking gross! 🤢What's worse was that I was eating a caesar salad. Lost my appetite immediately. 😅🤣I can't believe it's almost over! I can't wait for next week, though!

Exactly. I think eagon is going to be dreadful and will be killed for it by Otto, mom, wife or him and then he will wear the crown. It probably won't be at his hands if they want to have him truly mirror daemon though! Eagon is not fit to be a king, not when he didn't want it and not now that he does! I think the colors, sword, crown and what title alicent gave him speaks to what kind of ruler he will be! Should be terrorizer because he will only be what he has been but on steroids!

The third theory that would be Kinslaying, which is looked upon very bad …..keep in mind, “our gentle dead King” was her first cousin, so his children are second cousin to them if she would have burned them all alive that would’ve made her a Kinslaying. I read all the books up-to-date the Kinslaying will start, but it won’t start from the “blacks” first it will be from the “greens”.
