Bla Bla Bla Aegon II Is Not The Rightful Heir!
bla bla bla Aegon II is not the rightful heir!
bla bla bla Rhaenyra is not the rightful heir!
blablabla MY favorite fantasy mass murderers are actually the good guys!
Do you know who was not the rightful heir to shit? Who was very much not "the good guy"?
Aegon The Conqueror. The very reason why there is even all those debates through the series history, between this or that Targaryen, the reason why there is an iron throne in the first place, and for all the wars for it
In a monarchy, the truth of myths regarding divine rights of the royal and the noblemen is that those are nothing but justifications for the upholding of feudalism and it's social order. The only crime one can commit in a war of conquest or succession is losing it. "The rightful monarch" is the one who wins, because outside of that, there is no such thing.
History is told by the winners. Might makes right.
"Power resides where men believe it resides. It is a trick, a shadow on the wall."
Have your favorites, have fun watching, it's entertainment after all. Root for whoever you want, for whatever reason you fancy. But do not fool yourself. They do not actually have the right to shit and you know it, you are not morally above anyone for rooting for this or that character and you know it.

“Do you think that every good thing has always had a good conscience? — Science, which is certainly something good, entered the world without one, and quite destitute of pathos, but did so rather in secret, by crooked and indirect paths, hooded or masked like a criminal and at least always with the feeling of dealing in contraband. The good conscience has as a preliminary stage the bad conscience — the latter is not its opposite: for everything good was once new, consequently unfamiliar, contrary to custom, immoral, and gnawed at the heart of its fortunate inventor like a worm.”
