I don’t think aemond has been butchered. I think he’s far more humanized in a show where people being demoralized “aura” characters is considered cool.

Hes not a psycho so obviously damn near killing his brother haunts him, but his character will improve way more if aegon admits he made his childhood hell and they forge a bond like they have in the books.

Aegon forgiving his young brother for trying to fry him alive is the most older brother coded thing, anybody with brothers knows you’ll always have some soft spot for em 😂

I see him referred to as a “twink” a lot. I don’t agree at all, bros pecs fuckin bounce when he walks, did he bulk up mid season or something?

So he doesn’t hate valyrians in general, just targaryens. Can’t even blame the guy, the targaryens showing up with dragons is like everyone fighting with swords and the random shows up with heavily customized rpgs

Is vhagar the most prominent smoke demon we’ve ever seen? She saw 3 dragons and was still hellbent on charging in headfirst

Viserys kept rhaenyra as his heir even after having 3 sons because of his own guilt. I don’t think he ever truly forgave himself for basically gutting his first wife for a child that would’ve died anyway so he dooms the entire family essentially to try and make up for it.

I like the ongoing thing about the city watch having little to no actual battle experience so they’re basically glorified heavily armored bouncers 😂

With the info we’ve received tonight it’s so painfully obvious that viserys tried to make them essentially have the dynamic him and daemon had but didn’t realize how bad it would go

With how bewildered rhaenyra is at this kids hair in this scene it’s makes you wonder if the Hightower’s gatekeep how to bleach hair

Not even far fetched since the citadel happens to be in oldtown

Even after watching house of the dragon idk why he still seems so much cooler than 92% of the dragons in the show

It feels like aemond is fighting this war because they either win or die. He actually seemed very bothered about the Luke business but has no remorse about turning aegon crispy:

Putting yourself in a characters shoes makes you see things very differently. Imagine being the ONLY dragonrider on your side and your sisters a pacifist and your brothers a fraud who’s never fought a day in his life. The greens acted way too hastily for a team with one trump card. Even before the blacks had the dragonseeds they outnumbered them in terms of dragons.

How much do you wanna bet when they finally show aemond it’ll be alys walking in the basement of harrenhall and the camera is gonna pan to aemond strung up like this 😂

The balls on this guy

To his knowledge the only dragons they have that’ll fight are vhagar and tessarion. Despite knowing this he still openly defies Rhaenyra who has 6 dragons 💀

“We could have the world” buddy it took your ass 2 years to take the stepstones with 2 dragons. Not to mention the only reason team black had kings landing right now is because of alicent gaslighting Aemond to go to harrenhall 😭
