and just like that we get another “women are crazy, power hungry villains that need to be put in their place by the brave, humbled hero” wooo two shits in a row 🤪🤪
#HouseOfTheDragon showrunner Ryan Condal on the changes from book to screen:
“For me, necessary changes in the translation of something from one medium to another seem less controversial. People have to understand that I have 200 pages of prose to work with to make four seasons of television. And this stuff, believe me, keeps me up at night more than anybody.
But between season 2 and season 3, I just realised that I really can’t live like this anymore, just worrying about every little thing. I have to trust my instincts as somebody who’s read Fire & Blood probably more than anybody else on the planet at this point. And I still regard this adaptation as tremendously faithful to the overall text and the broad story that it is telling, even when there are individual moments that are surprising or different”

"Yet Aegon's triumph would prove to be as short-lived as it was bittersweet. Rhaenyra was dead, but her cause had not died with her, and new Black armies were on the march even as the king returned to the Red Keep."

XD gwayne apoyando a un pedofilo, violador, usurpador, asesino y a otro loco que puso niños al frente sin piedad alguna y de hecho lo vió y no le importó JAJAAJAJ de caballero no tiene NADA es un miedoso estúpido lol
They took a "misogyny is bad" story and made it into "perhaps misogyny is not that bad and women do go crazy when in power so they should not have it".
Women are not a monolith, not everyone is Margaret Tatcher waiting to happen
#HouseOfTheDragon showrunner Ryan Condal when asked which character he would put on the Iron Throne
“I mean, honestly I think Alicent.”

Rhaenyra is being made into a religious zealot with a god complex because it is far easier to ask the audience to condemn that logic as opposed to her book characterization, which is she refuses to accept her usurpation on the mere premise that she is a woman
@inotcarly also, didn’t rhaenyra literally try to talk her out of this madness, even chatted with her but helaena lowkey went ‘fuck you’ ?? like she knows rhaenyra already going trough crisis and still wanted to stay stubborn despite warnings so it’s like fuck around and find out 🤷🏻♀️
They're making Rhaenyra "mad" because the showrunners are misogynist cowards who find it easier to justify killing a woman rather than adapt the actual point of this story: history was whitewashed, realm was destroyed, and dragons died because they wouldn't accept a woman ruling.
Otto knew shit was gonna hit the fan because he was pushing for most of the shit that caused it. And he taught her daughter to push for it just like she pushed her kids to want it
It’s like saying “man who put dynamite at the base of the house predicts collapse soon”
