counterpoint tho- insane Ormund Hightower is really fun to watch

The show needs to make Rhaenyra a bad ruler because they need to justify how she’ll fall, but they’re unwilling to let her be the villain, so they insist on making everyone around her progressively worse

yeah i really think that the show fails to give the sense of gray that i’ve grown to love in asoiaf. In my opinion HOTD gives us a moral right and wrong, black and white. It feeds us the answers, it could have been better

I felt like that too. That last scene was TOO much. Him being just and lawful while also being sorta abussive to Daeron was interesting and nuanced. Now he is just a cartoon villain

Naum :
This is the only correct take. Not to mention the whole point of the succession crisis at Tumbleton is to showcase how great of a leader he was for the greens. Now it just seems like he’s exactly the same as all the other lunatics

Why is there this weird attempt to sympathise with the Greens. They are the villians of the story, and they have ALWAYS been the less favourable side. You are not supposed to side with them

The writer are proving with every episode that they don’t just hate the greens. They hate men

I don’t know who to root for at this point. I find both sides unlikeable

Gwayne is possibly the morally best character in the show atp. Not to mention Daeron seems like a good kid whos getting manipulated.
I dont mind Ormund being a villain, we dont have many heroes in the show but we also have no evil villains.

Bro it’s never even been black vs green because the showrunners never even attempt to paint team green as anything more than shallow conniving leaders beyond redemption. They’ve gone so far with painting Rhaenyra as the destined ruler that the show’s lost any concept of interpretation, nuanced morality

I loved his character until the end of the episode, I love this take from u. It just ruined it for me and may have ruined the show too. Having someone redeemable besides Dwayne would have been good

sagaltej88 :
The main problem with this story is that it want us to be on team blacks side to much. Like they have the good family bond daemon is one of the worst character but they down play it. We have not seen dreamfyre once. And rhaenyra so far has only been a victame we don’t see any bad things she does or it is down played. I don’t think i have one good sibling talk from the hole team green.

Why haven’t you guys learned that these writers actively try to ruin the show?

But isn’t the point of fire and blood to show how misogyny got in the way of a good ruler? Cause it has some symbolism in connection with Dany in the books.

Joshua Ebanks :
Almost any redeeming characters are removed or changed in the green faction. They’ve made it so instantly bowed towards Rhyneara

I agree with your take but I am also intrigued by the choices they are making with him and curious to see where they go with it. We are definitely all paying attention to him & Daeron now.

teshaun :
i mean it makes sense for a very traditional family like the Hightowers who are all about the faith to feel this way towards Targaryens in general who think of themselves as above men in westeros

Zackaboy :
yup. same here. i think his character was super interesting but in the end of the episode they just made him blatantly mad and evil. I'm tired of the writers being so biased towards Rhenyra and team black in general

people are really complaining about changes to the book and then say things like this, like there's anything to suggest it in the book.
