It feels like in the brothel scene they tried to make Aegon a one-note bully again, when there was every opportunity for the dynamic to be more complex and interesting, especially if it was meant to lead to a betrayal at Rook's Rest. Instead of "did you fuck her like a hound?" it could have been "did you fuck her while my son was being beheaded?" and it would actually make sense why they betray one another. Stakes are higher and feeling are higher. And it would have maintained aspects of the better aegon the writers were creating for the last two episodes.

But I also think there's a part of Aegon that thinks what he did is genuinely harmless. He laughs, drunk off his rocker, and tells Aemond he should find more people to sleep with. Thinking that Alicent used to walk in on him and berate him completely naked, it makes sense why he doesn't think it's such a big deal.

ohhh anon this is such a good take…. him screaming at aemond for his part in starting the war is so so so needed. insane that the writers did not think of it.

i definitely agree, aegon does not understand boundaries and he seems to have a very disturbed view of sex. alicent storming into his room when he is naked and him acting like this is the most normal thing…. she has intruded into his most intimate moments in his room often, further blurring the boundaries for a young aegon.

remember how he said that he went to the very same brothel as a young lad? i wonder who took him there, how he thought of going there….
