fiction mimics reality in the sense that mary i is remembered as ‘bloody mary’ despite having only executed 300+ people during her reign as opposed to her father who executed 50,000+ people during his. cut to rhaenyra who is remembered as ‘maegor with teats’ because she raised taxes after tyland lannister hid the royal treasury right before she retook king’s landing; all while her half-brother aemond was complicit in massacring the riverlands and the wiping out of house strong, along with her *other* half-brother daeron being liable for the atrocities that are bitterbridge/both battles of tumbleton. funny how that works.

What do you think about the recent 'leak' that the Fall of King's Landing and the Condal's-fanfic-battle preceding it (!!!) will happen in episode 8? I'd like to believe it's just a fake info, but honestly? - Rhaena tames Sheepstealer and Daemon is a wife beater - everything can happen now. And if it is really true, then where's the Gullet?? And what purpose do the Dragonseeds serve? These guys do exist, they are officialy casted. Rhaenyra has her own air force. There's no one protecting King's Landing (Aemond is in Harrenhall, Aegon is drunk on poppy milk and Helaena's in her own la la land) YET according to leakers, there's still an actual battle with actual soldiers happening when Rhae and Daemon take KL. Oh, oh, and that battle sequence is as big as 'one Avengers movie' in Condal's own words... WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. HELL It's not just a fanfic, it's a parody. Blacks have 6 huge dragon and 2 smaller ones at the end of s2, but you won't see them burn greens soldiers and take KL in a span of five minutes, because Condal wants to have a cool battle. It makes the whole existence of the Dragonseeds completely pointless. Rhaenys' sacrifice is pointless. I understand that shooting a normal fight is cheaper than animating eight CGI dragons, but no one forced them to include it in season 2!!! Why not just move it to season 3? I understand nothing.

It's honestly seemed like Condal has wanted to shorten the Dance since the beginning. Like, the amount of time skips in season one are ridiculous. He could've been able to make a whole ass other season from the events in the first few episodes if he hadn't jumped around so much.

I think that and what you're talking about, anon, are all symptoms of how Condal and Hess want to write a different story. The Dance isn't the story that they want to tell, it's so painfully obvious. They've twisted GRRM's story and characters to be almost or completely unrecognizable.

People who want to write their own stories shouldn't be in charge of adapting existing stories. They'll only ruin the work.

I’m going to say this as an Alicent anti: wtf are they doing to her??? 😂

The whole argument for Team Green is that Alicent usurped Rhaenyra because she feared for her children’s safety but now she’s going to turn on them after FORCING Aegon to crown himself king when he didn’t want to?!

I don't even know what the show runners are on. I do think that their laughable attempts to make TG look better are actually proving my point though. The obsession with making "both sides bad" has rendered their characters inconsistent and completely unbelievable. Their storyline is jumbled and makes no sense. The entire show is a complete mess.

The idea of both sides being equally bad destroys everything in the story. GRRM wrote a story about how sexism and hunger for power damage the world. Rhaenyra being usurped marked a dramatic drop of the power women held in Westeros. Otto and Alicent's greed and misogyny caused the deaths of thousands and the dragons. The loss of the dragons led to the Others gaining strength.

Obviously, the blacks aren't perfect, or even heroes. Daemon is as morally gray as it gets, Rhaenyra is classist and kills to get her way, many of the blacks' allies committed atrocities. However, the fact is the greens are the villains of the Dance and the blacks are the protagonists.

The greens are all irredeemable and awful people, that's the whole point. Just like the slavers are monsters, Euron is basically a demon, and Ramsay is completely evil. Certain characters of ASOIAF are meant to be completely evil, it part to show how the ideas they champion are also completely evil.

The show runners have completely missed the idea and themes of the Dance. Because of that, their story and characters are destroyed and just incomprehensible.

i’m not going to freak out just yet about that new still, all i’ll say is adding in MORE unnecessary gendered violence to a show that ends in femicide is… quite the choice, especially when you claim you’re writing a feminist adaptation.
