Me when Daemon does his arrogant crap and then blames Alicent for all the problemes doesn't listen to his wife and being a major hypocrite
Me, when Daemon the malewhore has THE AUDACITY to call Alicent a whore
And before you send me to Seven Hells, I meant them as characters.
What HotD promised us? The creators promised us twisted morally-grey characters who you can't attribute to good or bad? The original book was, yes, quite Blackish but still- Both Rhaenyra and Aegon were difficult to accept. To root for someone you need to ignore or justify so much that it made Dance of Dragons so interesting.
But in the show it's so obvious that Blacks are sooooooo great and in their right that it is kinda boring to follow.I mean, name some of the strong (hehe) individual traits of the Blacks. And than try ti name some of their bad traits?
Meanwhile the Greens have such strong character. the Shakespearian level of shit. Yes, Aegon is an awful person, bit somehow you see layers of him. Helaena with her prophecies that everyone ignores - CASSANDRA'S LEVEL OF TRAGEDY!!! Aemond is just, you know, has so many dimensions that he's beyond basic physics at that point. Criston is basically the archetype of a noble knight twisted. Larys is creepy and mysterious (hes a shit). Otto goes in some Macbeth stuff. And Alicent... She's iconic, Medea, Medusa, such tragic and poetic figure. Alicent was invented for classic literature.
All of these people are so complicated and tragic that you can definitely see them in a Shakespeare tragedy meanwhile the Blacks are just like comic book characters - they have traits but they are not so deep.
Being the victims of Targs power abuse game, breaking down and being shamed by the audience for not being the main guy!
Me, when Penelope ruined Colin with this "YoU MisSed Me, Mr. BriDgHeRtOn?" leaving this bread loaf of a man completely destroyed
Helaena Targaryen: shows up with her bugs and occasionally predicts her brothers future:
Me:
Rhaenyra and Laenor introducing X to the court:
L: In the name of all that is holy, will you look at Cryston Cole's training clothes?
R: He is one of the dumbest guys you will ever meet. Laenor sat next to him at tournament last year.
L: he asked me how to spell "honor"
X: And that little one?
R: That's Larys Strong. He's totally rich because his dad accidentally died in Harrenhall. Larys Strong knows everybody's business.
L: He knows everything about everyone. That's why his hair is so big. It's full of secrets.
R: And evil takes a human form in Alicent Hightower. Don't be fooled, because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing, slut-faced ho-bag. But in reality, she is so much more than that.
