Tbh more people should treat HOTD as more separarted from the book. I've read tons of opinions here on how the characters act differently than in the book and blah blah. But Fire and Blood ISN'T a character POV book. It's a record of the history written by people who didn't really participate in it all that much.

So yeah, go and say how book!Rhaenyra was angrier and more decisive and so on, and book!Alicent was vile etc. But they were like that in a history book and history wasn’t particularly kind to them.

So like, people should consider that.

people let their true colors shine through their consumption of media. case in point an adult man in a position of great power can rape his way through a numerous amount of serving girls in the castle he lives in and through the streets he frequently visits, but if he’s nice to exactly one member of the small folk due to said small folk member stroking his ego while he sits the throne suddenly *all* of his past evil actions are forgiven and he would ‘make a great king.’ in the same breath these people will cut to a moment twenty years in the woman claimant’s past where she stated, “their wants are of no consequence,” after stumbling upon a play that blatantly makes fun of her for being born a woman and being a girl heir, which in turn upsets her because it’s an insecurity she’s dealt with her entire life, something she’s never been able to forget. SHE isn’t forgiven, instead it’s used as a way to say she wouldn’t make a good queen and has no care at all for the small folk (she is the only royal family member attempting to keep the realm united as of right now).

Some HOT D 8===3 thoughts

i feel like (especially for show only watchers) the last seasons of game of thrones (mainly 7, 8, but 6 and 5 contributed a lot too) really ruined some people's idea of how you are able to tell a story using moving picture, understanding of visual story telling and media literacy,

with HOTD s2 airing (only one episode out so far) and it also being mainstream, it attracts a lot of viewers who just want to be entertained, which is completely fine, big dragons on the screen are very cool,

but for some reason these people also very much enjoy starting conversations without actually bothering to analyze the given piece of media, then when someone disagrees, they pick pick fights instead of exchanging different views,

the last seasons of GOT became more about spectacle then coherent story telling, and while the spectacle is also present in HOTD of course, b we also have seen some great examples of story telling via visuals only (connections between cuts, parallels, etc.), so the story, and character's emotions aren't always being told through words, sounds, screams (yea i'm kinda referring to the Haleana scene as well here)

i find the whole "team black or green" stupid on both community's and hbo's side as well, but i also understand that it's good for marketing, even though it sparks the stupidest conversations and takes,

one side isn't better than the other, as it's been said on GOT before as well, vengeance is a vicious cycle breeding misery, which only stops at forgiveness, but because in the last seasons of GOT most vengeful acts saw no repercussions (except when the writers thought it would be a good way to subvert expectations) i guess, people kinda forgor about it,

characters are not going to turn to the camera and explain the reason behind the irrational actions which they are about to commit, the whole point of television and cinema is that you watch, you interpret, and you understand,

written words won't always translate to cinema how you, the viewer want them to, because of runtime and episode limits with weekly airing,

people's attention span has definitely gotten lower, expecting immediate answers and for action to be taken within a single episode,

anyways, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in because these things make me angy

The Land of Shadow. A place obscured by the Erdtree. Where the goddess Marika first set foot. A land purged in an unsung battle. Set ablaze by Messmer’s flame. It was to this land that Miquella departed. Divesting himself of his flesh, his strength, his lineage. Of all things Golden. -E L D E N R I N G : Shadow of the Erdtree (21.06.2024)
