I think the funniest thing about this shit show is that at the end they still have to find a way for Rhaenyra to be at Dragonstone after the storming of the Dragonpit and have Aegon be there to give Sunfyre his snack...They portray the Greens especialy Aegon as incompetent but somehow that "incompetent loser" manages to take the castle from her loyalists and has Sunfyre traumatise Aegon 3 for life...And they cant put events like the Dragonpit earlier in the story because some rather importand things happen there that dont make sense if Rhaenyra isnt in the City...e.g. the Syras/Joffrey situation....It will be the Daenerys situation all over again...only potentialy worse...

no but you see anon, aegon ii will only take dragonstone by dumb luck, and it won’t be nyra herself that will lose it; it’ll all be the fault of her dumb silly council! and we’re obviously gonna have a parallel to læna allowing herself to be burned by vhagar in-show when nyra is burned by sunfyre, and sunfyre will be so in awe of her that he’ll hesitate! aegon iii won’t even be there. AND it’ll all be the silly smallfolk’s fault that joffrey falls from syr@x because how dare they rise up against the WMD that have held their lives in an iron grip for fear of burning??

okay. im gonna be honest, aemond n vhagar accidentally killing luke isnt what im most mad about. the whole hotd as a show is an adaption of fire and blood, a book that’s only a collection of historical, biased accounts as people who weren’t necessarily close to the main pieces but from an outsider’s perspective, so we’ll see things that clash with how history glamorizes/villainizes some people/events.

i think making alicent a more complex character beyond an evil stepmother was a good choice; the idea that aemond didn’t lose an eye bc luke went down to confront him to specifically kill him, but bc of an emotional scuffle that got out of hand. i’m not so keen on criston cole getting away with straight up murder with no visible repercussions every other episode, nor the kicking off of the usurper aegon plot bc of a misunderstanding via a dying viserys (i think that takes away a smidge too much of alicent’s agency), and i think rhaenys busting out of the dragonpit floor unharmed (tho yes, extremely cool) was bad writing.

however, given grrm’s irl tendencies of being anti-monarchist and comparing the dragons to living nukes, as well as the books being far more mythical/fantastical/grudgingly positive with dany desperately striving to do good for people - and the tragic feel between alicent and rhaenyra, how they both wanted reconciliation towards the end, before the blood began to flow - i think it’s not a complete left turn out of nowhere to say yeah, one of the bloodiest wars in westerosi history was ultimately a conflict stemming from a handful of long-festering accidents between an emotionally and genetically unstable family with people constantly trying to manipulate them. i just wish they didn’t reduce so many turning points to accidents.

also, as displayed in both asoiaf and f&b, dragons don’t always listen to their riders, even when they’re so closely bonded to their human like w dany; arrax was still young and flighty (metaphorically) and vhagar was a battle dragon, of course she’s gonna hit back if she gets fire to the face

still worried abt the state of the writing for coming seasons 😬

Fr tho “the quiet rapture” is a TERRIFYING but perfect name for a terrifying but inexplicable mass death. The world ends not with a bang but a whimper
