What's so stupid about that? Even in the book, Corlys personally suggested not killing Daeron, even after he joined the war. The path with Alicent's children remaining hostages after the Greens surrender, will be wards on Driftmar or somewhere else - this is a realistic possibility from the book. "Daeron won't be safe, Alicent is STUPID and doesn't understand the world she lives in." Excuse me, book!Corlys stupid? Doesn't he understand the world he lives in? 🙄

Or maybe it's people don't understand how Westeros works and that killing your kin is literally the worst thing you can do, especially when it's your brother who surrendered?

"Stupid! She's stupid!" I just don't get it. Is it so painful to realize that her choice to sacrifice Aegon and Aemond to save Daeron and Helaena was actually a viable option? Are people angry because the legitimacy of their attacks on Alicent is now invalid - she's not just running away, she's thinking about everyone and according to the leaks, even about Crispin.

Her goal is to stop this unnecessary war. Even if she started it, it's better to try to stop it and save what can be saved than to simply throw everything into the fire, knowing it's not even worth it. In short, love Alicent or hate her, but ridiculing every single thing she does without even explaining why she's wrong is just going to the hate wagon🫤

It sucks that they didn't go with the "looking for his brother" version!!!😭 It's so good and consistent – ​​showing that after Luke's death, he couldn't lose anyone else. I can't believe Ryan ignored the plot, the drama and THE development that was right before his eyes😭😭😭

But I disagree that in the show version, Jace's death doesn't make sense. They sent seeds to Harrenhal. After Triarchy attacks, only three people can go to battle: Jace, Baela, Rhaenyra. If Rhaenyra isn't locked away, she'll lock him away. LOL. He doesn't want to let her risk herself and the only thing he can do is physically prevent her from going.

The fact that Baela agreed with him is also... a thing 🫠

On the one hand, he was her closest person and she bore him not one, but three sons. On the other... how STRONG was that love? He was quickly replaced 😶‍🌫️
