Finally after re-watching both S2 & S3, I've shifted my view and can agree the show probably softened down Rhaenyra's character a little too much? or longer than they should've...
I get she's the focus character, but at least after Jace, cracks should've easily started to show and started building with the *Cruella*....but they continued white-washing her and making audiences sympathize a little too much I feel.
Instead, we waited all the way until towards the end of S03 with news Aegon's return to be the emotional trigger for a dramatic flip of character? That just didn't really sell it.
Maybe if they planted more seeds earlier and over the season, like if she kept lashing out at Baela more and more in the season over each episode, lol. or other Small Council.
idk, what do you think?
