It seems to me that each of them has already sort of cheated on the other, but also I don't believe that either one would care who the other sleeps with.
This aligns with what he said about marriage being just a political arrangement and they can **** who they want.
What do you think about that?
I'll try to count everything these bastards did to the poor girl
Viserys:
1- Killed her mother in a not very merciful way, to get his male heir.
2- Traumatized her from marriage and sex because of the way her mother died
3- Married her friend not long after her mother's death
4- Forced her to marry a gay man to correct his own political mistake he made when he chose Alicent over Laena.
5- Kept producing sons that threatened her and her claim
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daemon:
1- Groomed her
2- Ruined her reputation by taking her to brothel in a attempt to force Viserys to wed them
3- Abandoned her repeatedly
4- Envied her for being chosen as heir over him
5- Almost killed her by choking her out of envy
6- Attempted to become King, not consort, and for her to become second in command after him
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alicent:
1- Envied her for her carefree life
2- Raised her children to hate and envy both her and her children
3- Taught her children about the illegitimacy of her children
4- Forced her to walk to her chambers carrying her newly born son right after giving birth to see whether he looks like Laenor or not.
5- Plotted against her for years with her enemies
6- Attempted to mutilate her son and attacked her with a dagger out of envy
7- Usurped her throne
He loved Jace like a son
Sara be writing Daemon like her dream boyfriend
I think this episode (3x2) was written by Sara Hess, and she had Daemon MVP, cooler and more protective of Rhaenyra than we ever saw him before. He soloed this episode.
The biggest Daemon haters in the show, Otto and Jasper, died in a humiliating way and portrayed as misogynists, traitors, and rapists.
They through and through portray him better than Aemond (and he is by a mile, even in the book), who nearly wiped out Harrenhal and died in the process, breaking his aura, compared to the former who, when he took it, not a single person died.
Even in today's episode he didn't harm a single innocent, and when the Kings Guards surrendered he didn't kill them, in contrast to Aemond.
This kind of proves that Sara and Condal are not particularly biased against him, even if they spoke against him in interviews.
While they did add to him several crimes he didn't do in the book, the show is biased against men in general, but not against a particular male character.
I believe his wigs were awful the last season. They didn't put any effort.
They watered him down so bad. No wonder S2 didn't do well.
Well, S3 hasn't even started yet, so maybe things will improve.
She hasn't done anything to prove herself, obviously she is not Daenerys, and it seems like Aegon is undermined by everyone as well despite being a boy. So, maybe it's not about gender, but they just didn't earn people's respect.
Jace locked her up because she undermined him, so he undermined her in return. This doesn't seem to be about gender.
He locked her up saying he wants protect her, then he asks Baela to join him. If he sees women as weak, he wouldn't ask help from Baela.
We see also that Lohar, a woman, has complete authority over her much more primitive men.
He prefers fighting with the soldiers on the ground on the frontline rather than being safe in the sky atop his dragon unlike the other Targaryens.
And in the previous season he parked Caraxes outside and went to invade Harrenhal single handedly by himself.
And before that in S1, he faced the Crabfeeder's army 1v5000. Something nobody else in the army was brave enough to even attempt.
And we all know he'll pull the greatest feat in the entire dance next season
Dude's courage level is infinite.
A very selfish, self-centered and needy character. She is like black hole that makes everyone's character revolve around her and completely deletes their agency and personality and make everything about her. That's why Team Black seems less interesting than Team Green. The latter is more versatile because almost everyone has their own agenda. Nobody's character on Team Green actually revolves around Aegon.
I remember the scene after Rhaenys died and Baela was sad about her grandmother and Rhaenyra's attempt to comfort her was like "Rhaenys didn't always like me, but I'm grateful to her for what she gave me at the end." Why do you make this about yourself? lol She's very self-centered.
Another thing also, the constant crying. Adult Rhaenyra cried in almost every appearance on the screen. The writers clearly want us to sympathize with her so badly, but is that the behavior of a leader?
This was most irritating when she cried on the bridge right in front of Otto, the enemy, just because she saw the old book page Alicent sent to her, when she is surrounded by men ready to die to defend her.
I've been irritated by her character a lot and needed a release.
Rhaenyra and Alicent are equally unlikeable to me. And it's a shame, because I liked young Rhaneyra. I liked her when she defied her father and the norms. Now she is a worse version of Viserys, whom I also disliked.
Kagutsuchi supposedly adds intensity to the Ameterasu heat by shaping it into sharp weapons to focus the heat so it vaporizes what it touches instantly upon contact instead of the gradual incineration of Amaterasu.
Beautiful. But what is the point of adding that to someone who already has Chidori, Chidori sword, Chidori arrow, and other lightning abilities that have the same effect?
I feel like Kishimoto just wanted something that doesn't break balance so he gave him a variation of something he already has. He rarely even used it because it is rarely useful.
