Aegon IVs top 10 most iconic moments:
10. Naming those hills “Barba’s Teets” and then renaming them “Missy’s Teets” when Barba insults Missy’s breast size.
9. Trying to invade Dorne only to not even make it to shore because his whole fleet was wrecked by a storm.
8. Burning down 1/4 of the Kingswood and killing hundreds of people while trying to build wooden dragons for his Dornish invasion. Then immediately giving up on invading Dorne and pretending like nothing happened.
7. Showing up at Whitewalls, impregnating Lord Butterwell’s 3 daughters, and giving him a dragons egg as a reward.
6. Gifting Blackfyre to his bastard son Daemon.
5. Killing his father, Viserys II, thereby robbing the realm of potentially the best king it may have ever seen.
4. Creating Bloodraven.
3. Helping Daena escape the Maidens’ Vault and impregnating her, thereby both creating Daemon Blackfyre and also indirectly causing Baelor the Blessed to kill himself.
2. Spreading rumors that Daeron is his brother’s bastard just to undermine his own heir purely out of spite.
1. Legitimizing all his bastards on his death bed so he can keep being everyone’s problem for another 80 years.
Instead of talking shit about the actors, you should complain about the real culprits for their crappy acting in the series. If the people behind hotd didn't keep insisting on this shitty fanfic that women are all victims of manipulative and evil men, and had invested in the real story of the characters, I have no doubt that all the actors would have been excellent.
Emma really describing Alicent as the angel on Rhaenyra's shoulder and Daemon being the devil ?! What the actual fuck ! Objectively, it would be the opposite. But I guess the team of this show only knows demonize Daemon instead of accepting him as the anti hero he is and husband of Rhaenyra who love her and whom she is supposed to love in return. Without forgetting not capable of accept the canonical reality of Alicent which is that she is purely and simply a villain / antagonist, Rhaenyra's adversary and especially only for the pre-war period to then pass the baton to Aegon II as Rhaenyra's adversary. So Alicent isn't supposed to be that important when war is declared. I really hate how this show destroyed the characters and their stories and relationships to feed their pretentious and misogynistic fanfiction (which they ironically think is super progressive).
alicent poisoned her children and fed them lies so they could hate rhaenyra and her children. alicent abused rhaenyra so badly she had to go away to dragonstone. alicent's own hatred is what caused her son to lose his eye. alicent helped her father and her son usurp the rightful heir to the throne. alicent's hatred is what caused aemond to go after luke and killing him. alicent is the root for all of rhaenyra's suffering and problems but she's still nice and pleasant enough with that woman? she should want her head on a spike but sure, 20 years ago they were friends and that explains why she would put her own life at risk to meet with that woman and somehow make peace terms with the party that ALREADY sent shitty peace terms wtf girl bye
I'm tired of people saying that the Greens started the war for their own survival, all while insisting that they are talking about HOTD and not Fire and Blood, except that even in HOTD it is simply a matter of acidity of power and misogyny. Literally, Otto says it in episode 3. Gotta stop the bullshit after a while. And daring to say that Rhaenyra taking the throne doesn't help women in general in Westeros, when... well it does. That’s the point of a fucking precedent. Stop trying to twist everything to fit your bullshit logic. I'm tired of coming across arguments from Green stans.
wanna play with his hair while he info dumps nerdy stuff to me <3
I think the Team Green fixation on Jaehaera is honestly pathetic and embarassing. She’s not the first or last child to suffer or die in ASOIAF, nor end her bloodline. Why did the Velaryon boys all have to die brutal deaths ? What about all the peasant children who burn up in Aemond’s rampages, or suffer mass rape and murder at Bitterbridge and Tumbleton ? Why do Shireen, Myrcella, Tommen have to suffer a horrible fate ? I never see the same insistence that any of them make it.
I think her death serves two important narrative stories. First, it secures the pyrrhic victory, by ending the Green’s bloodline and making their supposed efforts for self-preservation completely null. It evens the slate between the Greens and Blacks (Greens get the history books, Blacks get the actual bloodline).
But I think the more important narrative is how it demonstrates the effect of the Dance on women in the universe. The irony that the Greens last claimant to the throne is invalid because of their efforts. Jaehaera is deemed unimportant and replaceable by her own faction because of gender, and is therefore relegated to a vulnerable and unprotected position. Their ideology kills the last of their bloodline. She is usurped and killed by an ambitious lord with the same motivations as her grandfather had for usurping Rhaenyra. It shows the cyclical nature of violence against girls and women who have little value in their society, except as bloodline vessels and maybe curators of political favors and supportive wives.

In some universe Dany, Brienne, Sansa, Arianne, Elia, Rhaenys and Arya are sharing confidences and spitting about gross men, I'm sure.
