I had seen bits and pieces of S1 but now I'm watching through to catch up for the new season. On E5 now, this s*** really does slap
I’m out of town with fam so I can’t even watch until Monday night
So I won’t be in this thread tonight at all . Hope y’all enjoy though
Already watched this episode twice, but might even run it back again
I’m just obsessed with the feeling of being back in Westeros
Gave me chills when they were back at the wall. Then anger kicked in again thinking how dd ruined it all
I saw someone say that there are battle of the b****** level battles. This true?
That is dependent upon the directing only

Team green the bogeyman don't you worry
LONG RANT INCOMING
So the way this is all framed sucks because 90% of the audience is with the blacks and maybe 10% are with the greens and it’s all because they did all that unnecessary s\*\*\* last season about aegon with the rape and the fighting pits. Like that s\*\*\* was not in the book, or if it was and I’m misremembering then it had to be one of those accounts from mushroom’s lying ass. Now instead of the incompetent alcoholic king who’s only kinda a d\*\*\*head, he’s scum of the earth.
Meanwhile rhaenyra is poor little loving grieving mommy who can do no wrong. Anything bad that happens is because of daemon, or it’s an accident. They’re forcing a heroic kinda thing onto her just because she’s the “main protagonist”, but It’s not the rhaenyra show, it’s a show about the dance of the dragons. They whitewash both alicent and her way too much.
When I was reading about this it seemed like a giant cat fight with dragons and spite fueled atrocities, but neither Alicent nor rhaenyra have had any hand in any of the truly bad s\*\*\* that’s happened so far. It’s all happening to or around them.
Aemond lost in eye, that’s Rhaenyra’s kid’s fault. Aemond kills that kid (by accident, not even purely malice) it’s his fault, not alicent’s. Alicent’s grandkid gets his head cut off, it’s not rhaenyra’s fault, it’s daemon’s. Sooner or later they gotta ascribe some atrocities DIRECTLY to either of these girls or they’re really doing damage to the tragedy of the whole thing. The war is being fought by proxy through the men that are surrounding them, but it’s not even explicit, it’s like anything bad is because they went of script and did some wild s\*\*\*.
And that goes back to rhaenyra being lionized by the writers because if alicent and jaehaera are the only “decent” people on that side, and one is clearly in the wrong (misinterpreting viserys and usurping the throne), and the other is irrelevant, why would you root for the side with the rapist and the one eyed murderer?
Ryan Condal is a p****. He even says the historical account of B&C is anti Rheanyra propaganda thats why he changed in the show.

he shouldn't be allowed to insert his headcanons about the book in such a pivotal portion of the story

Anything that is against Rhaenyra he changes. The post I quoted perfectly encapsulates my feelings.

yeah that was my post. we're on the same page. semi-spoiler below.
having rhaenyra not be a paragon of innocence is actually very crucial with managing the emotions of the audience when all is said and done, that's all im gonna say

getting rid of that goofy eye makeup they was putting on aegon in season one was a top 3 decision in between seasons
mysaria accent and intro update are 1 and 2
