Anti Got Rant - Tumblr Posts
I don't really care about HOTD all that much, but damn, it's hard to ignore how biased in favor of the Greens the show is. I just watched the new trailers, and not only is the Green trailer longer, but the Black trailer is filled with shots of the Green characters instead of actually focusing on the Blacks. The Black trailer also really seems to try to paint the Blacks in a worse light, while the Green trailer is all about "poor Alicent" who only wants to honor Viserys's "last wish" and who needs to be told by her father that violence is necessary because she is oh so upset about it... oh poor Alicent who made sacrifices for her house and the realm her entire life... the Green favoritism is really blatant.
The way the house of the dragon writers always lick their own assholes about being a ~Feminist Show~ and âguys itâs totally different weâre not like GOT ok!!!â yet because HOTD functions as a prequel to GOT it just makes it seem even more hollow and sexist. Like âoh gee Rhaenyra it sucks that they stole your crown and birthright for being a womanâŚtoo bad that hundreds of years later the same thing will happen to your granddaughter who will lose everything and everyone she loves and suffer just as much abuse and mistreatment as you had, while a man takes everything from her and villainizes her just like they did to you /:â I canât imagine being content with that lol thatâs why I read the books
D&D: There was something cHIiLLiNG about the way Dany watched Viserys die.
Us, having war flashbacks about Jaime throwing Bran out a window, Arya cooking the Freys into pies, Tyrion strangling Shae, Sansa feeding Ramsay to the hounds, Jon executing Olly:
"sansa didnât trust daenerys bc she was a stranger" is such a bullshit. sansa didnât know most of the people in the north personally "oh but they from the north" yeah boltons were too. "dhe was foreign, not really westerosi, raised and lived among barbarian people" oh good thing westerosi like littlefinger, lannisters etc were so well behaved and kind. sansa also didnât have nothing really against wildings "oh but jon trusted them" so just like he trusted daenerys?
the only problem sansa had with daenerys was that she couldn't control her bc she was lower in the hierarchy and also it meant she looses any control over the north she had. that's it.
Why is Jorah on your shit list?
1) Almost 50 yrs old and is sexually attracted to a 13 yr old Daenerys, going as far as to force a kiss on her while sheâs naked
2) Feels entitled to Danyâs love and affection, that she owes him for all that heâs done for her
3) The whole reason behind his exile was that he was attempted to sell people into slavery so he can fund his wifeâs spending habits
4) in short, he is a nasty old man with a gross obsession with a teenaged girl and he sees himself as the victim of the made-up relationship he imagined between himself and Dany
hold on hold on hold on i am thinking SO many thoughts right now
Two of the many reasons I hate House of the Dragon:
-- They're doubling down on GOT's vitriol that "the best ruler is the one that doesn't want to rule" that they used to vilify Dany in the end.
-- They made Alicent and Rhaenyra into these peace-loving characters, and gave many of Dany's peace-loving qualities to them. Which led to a bunch of show-watchers (and plenty of book readers that don't know the books well) to believe that Rhaenyra and Alicent are better queens/more peaceful/more reasonable than Dany. These fans end up loving Rhaenyra and Alicent while hating Dany, even though the reasons they love show!Rhaenyra and show!Alicent are precisely the qualities that the showrunners stole from book!Dany and gave to them.

Remember how horrible was Dany's season 2 arc?
They invented a whole subplot of her handmaiden betraying( when Doreah in the books died in the desert with Dany holding her hand) instead of showing us more of her actual second book arc.
They also killed more of her Dothraki followers ( who are still alive in the books) to have her further isolated. And the HotU was such a mess. It's one of the highlights of the second book ( not only for Dany's storyline, in general) and they messed it up so badly.
Daenerys Targaryen + a few of the endless scenes (from multiple seasons) in which her show version was portrayed as the opposite of her book version Â

considering how many people from the north / sworn to starks / related to them betrayed starks in the past and how many people from the south saved them, it's really ironic how they could not trust daenerys "because she's not one of them"
boltons were ones of you. you remember what they did to your brother, his wife and their unborn child? what boltons from the north did to your mother and your people? what boltons did to sansa? theon was one of you. he literally was raised with you and how that ended for robb, rickon and bran? how it ended for ser rodrik? shall we speak of how people of winterfell suffered because of theon and boltons? master luwin's name means something to you? what your dear aunt lysa, related to you by blood, did to you, sansa? should i remind you that it was karstarks who abandoned robb? that it was people from the north who later refused to help starks take winterfell back?
or shall we speak how it was ser davos from the south that helped them to gather allies? perhaps name "the hound" reminds you of someone, someone idk who protected both sansa and arya? jaqen was not from the north and yet he helped you, arya, beric dondarrion and his brotherhood did as well. oh and what about gendry and hot pie? since when they were from the north? now wildings are okay bc they fought for you? but they are from behind the wall, how can you trust someone who's not one of you? brienne of tarth helped you. littlefinger and knights of the vale saved you. tyrion protected you. margaery and lady olenna helped you. neither from the north
but it's daenerys when you draw the line because she's not from the north, she's not stark? damn, she should have let you all die and keep her people and dragons in essos
You know what, I'm still upset about something.
Why does Sansa have that attitude towards Daenerys when she asks her "what do dragons EAT anyways?"
I mean, what the hell is her problem? What does she expect Daenerys to say, grass? air?
Last time I checked, it was them who went to Daenerys for help because they needed her dragons. So, what's with this bitter superiority attitude of Sansa? Seriously, I find her incredibly unpleasant.
Do you want her dragons or not?
It's so stupid..
The evil, power hungry Queen- agrees to set aside her political aims and give all her strength and focus to defeating the White Walkers while being promised nothing in return.
The good, selfless Queen- argues against getting the resources they desperately need to even stand a chance against the White Walkers because it threatens her political aims.
yâknowâŚi love how GOT never mentioned the fact that rhaella crowned viserys after aerys and rhaegar died therefore making dany the heir once he passed. all the lords may not have accepted it when a male claimant was around but there wouldâve been a fair argument in favor of dany rightfully being the heir to the throne. but nooooooo. got needed jon to be the rightful heir 100% for ~drama~ and ~conflict~ between him and dany that wouldâve easily been solved by a simple marriage proposal involving two people who already loved each other.
hell, whoâs to say the lords wouldâve even accepted the annulment of rhaegar and eliaâs marriage (especially when it was consumated). dorne would probably be like fuck that. so even if jon was legitmate based on that annulment, the lords of westeros couldâve been like hmmm nope and jon would again be a bastard to them thus making dany the rightful heir still. and again even if there was division about who it should actually be A MARRIAGE WOULDâVE SOLVED FUCKING EVERYTHING.
god the stupidity of season 8 drives me mad.
