@kirby.alice12: Indecisiveness is a really hard character trait to pull off and not have it just become irritating, and it feels like we’re there. Hamlets they are not. #hotd #houseofthedragon #rhaenyratargaryen #alicenthightower #gameofthrones #targaryen #greenscreen
Idk it just seemed like they was back tracking the woman why is raenyra hesitating so much? Why did alicent give up her kid when the whole reason she did this was to keep them alive?

it's like the writers couldn't fathom women being both sympathetic AND viciously ambitious

Whenever i feel sympathetic to what the show is trying to do the interviews disappoint me. It very much felt like the showrunners refuse to empathize with certain female characters and wanting them to

I believe that d&d are misogynistic but now I feel they've overcorrected into a form of "benevolent misogyny" alicent can't hate rhaenyra she can't want or desire the schadenfreude that the book does

Should have been Rhaenyra and Daemon vs Aegon and Aemond. Don’t know how we got so much confusing that main conflict.

In a slightly different way, I feel they made the same error in (a) the revisions to alicent and Rhaenyra to make them besties from childhood and (b) how they sort of made alicent a focal point. It

This. Like Daenerys can be an abolitionist, but also be someone too quick to show force (as she did with the slave masters). Under this writing it’d’ve been Jorah who ordered the crucifixion 1/2

The thing is the pieces are all there. The execution and writing is what hold it back

You're so right I'm in love with the arc they're trying to write for Alicent but there's this overbearing feeling with every female character that they're overcompensating for GOT

i agree- i also feel like they’re doing a disservice to the book versions of alicent and rhaenyra bc they’re both way more vindictive and morally grey in the books

they need to be messier in their interactions like their final confrontation was wayyyy too civil 😭

the rhaenyra/alicent thing they’re pushing works better when it’s subtext. it also just generally makes a lot more sense. having them constantly hop back and forth into each other’s territory is

i think the show wants us to see them as like Morally Good and Extremely Clever bc they’re women even when the stuff they’re doing isn’t.

I think we could forgive their passivity if the show interactions felt more engaging. Lots of things did happen but it's hard to care unless you have outside engagement with these characters in f&b

I have a degree in English Literature and special interest in ASOIAF-watching HOTD is a form of torture for me if I’m to be honest 😅but I’m a bit of a masochist and will eventually binge s2🤷♀️

I feel like the writers didn’t know what to do with the characters this season. There was a lot of inconsistency with motivations and underwhelming relationship dynamics
