Haha, The show is literally nerfing the greens and hard pushing the blacks. I'm all for changing stuff from the books but so far it's been astonishingly one-sided. But, it also shows which faction is cooler when you have to change stuff to balance things out
#HouseOfTheDragon
Let me address some things. (If you don't want mild spoilers for episode 10 scroll past).
Daemon's character has not been in any way destroyed. That is how I perceived his character to be from the books. There have been added scenes yes but they're completely in character
Gave away Cole who's been loyal to her for 20 years, gave away her sons Aegon, Aemond and Daeron, gave away her brother Gwayne and possibly her father Otto. All for her childhood bestie. Well done writers, this is now THE STUPIDEST CHARACTER IN ALL OF WESTEROS
#HouseOfTheDragon
I know a lot of daemon fanboys are upset because they don't know how to defend him anymore. Think about this, people didn't care when he killed his wife with a rock but suddenly now do when he just chokes Rhaenyra. His character was already heinous, you just chose to ignore it
I didn't have high expectations from the writers for the finale but this is so bad it's unbelievable. This doesn't seem real to me and I'm hoping somehow on sunday something else happens. They have no understanding of the characters, the world and the dynamics. Truly awful
Stop what you're doing and Aegon's coronation in the book. The show is blatantly ripping the cool moments of the green faction and giving extra ones to the black faction. All this which only causes ...

Man just completely forgot how Meleys killed almost a hundred people in the dragonpit in a useless scene which YOU ADDED for no goddamn reason other than a "girlboss" moment. I bet that scene feels real stupid now huh?

@miserychastaiin
Rhaenys knew how to silence that council despite her gender. Maybe it's not that she's trapped by her gender, maybe it's because she doesn't have it in her
Apart from that, the sinister look of the storm at Storm's end and Aemond taunting and chasing Luke was absolutely perfect. Couldn't have been better. And to the people saying this is worse or par with S8, you're lying and you know it. This show was still amazing and will wait
Ok so far,
1) They tried to make Aegon Uglier
2) They asked the actor TGC to act like he didn't know what he was doing on the dragon
3) He apparently also can't speak High Valyrian
4) He barely got his scenes with Halaena after they both begged them
PICK YOUR SIDE GUYS!!!
All hail Aegon of House Targaryen, Second of His name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and the Protector of the Realm
"My son was but a part in the larger story, me riding a dragon was also just a side-hobby, I don't really fly .I don't want to fight, I don't want to leave King's Landing, I also don't like people. I'm just existing for the sake of it"
The writers didn't want Corlys to come off as misogynistic so they had him offer it to Baela first who in turn says she's "blood and fire" even though she's literally as much Velaryon as Targaryen. Or is she saying mother's blood doesn't count unless she's a Targaryen?
#HOTD
I get where the show is headed. "The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion" But, this never happened before and won't in the future as well. And it also make no sense why Arrax would attack a dragon 5 times bigger. The books made that much clear atleast
For season 2 with excitement though not as much as I had for season 1. Reading Fire and Blood now doesn't really mean anything because anything could happen. It was an amazing ride 🐲💚

@7minus1
There's a difference between killing a major character and a random servant. Both are morally equally bad but the audience won't care about the random servant as much as they would've cared for Laenor. Hence the change, protecting the precious Rhae Rhae at all costs
Will happen in the future seasons. They might show Blood and cheese being 2 sympathetic rat catchers, they might show Rhaenyra actually fighting in battle, they might even show Daemon surviving his death.
@HBO
Do not make the same mistakes. JUST FOLLOW THE DAMN BOOKS
writing issues and plotholes. This sort of abysmal writing cannot continue. They ripped us of Alicent crowning Halaena, they ripped us of Sunfyre and Aegon climbing the throne. They ripped us of multiple important dialogues which were said in the green council. They even..
was also ridiculous. Rhaenys' escape moment was a laughable attempt at giving her a powerful moment and taking this episode away from the Greens. I previously said this, House of the Dragon isn't an adaptation of "Fire and Blood", it's an inspiration. I can't now even say what..
@oldtownstars
As Emma Darcy said, "Rhaenyra weaponized the word treason" and all the Rhae Rhae fangirls are saying "go girl, you slay" which is unsurprising but worth mentioning
@auphaniim
Bold of you to assume that that's what'll happen. Maybe her death was hightower propaganda? She runs off to Essos and lived happily ever after. Aegon was hallucinating and imagining Rhaenyra there when it was actually .... *drumroll* ..... Alicent. Brilliant writing
Here we have a stupid teenager dropping a one-liner to look cool but in turn also losing the support of a house in a matter of seconds. And she wanted to be the first queen of Westeros after all the disrespect she shelled out to the houses. Make it make sense
#HouseOfTheDragon
Great observation by a redditor. Remember folks, Criston is getting all this heat because they know who he supports. Daemon gets called gangster for doing worse. Don't let these biased fools impact you. Remember who the good guys are 💚
#Houseofthedragon
Changed Alicent's final motivations for Aegon's coronation, something the show had been building on for a long time. They made Aegon even more horrible than Mushroom's fantasies. They showed Aemond wanting the throne when none of this crap happened in the books. The foot scene .
@hileonizm
Smart how exactly? We all know what happened after this. This was a major reason for dragon extinction, giving huge dragons to random strangers with no cause for being loyal. This was a massive blunder
"Look at this sad creature, my Lord. Little Luke Strong. You are wet, bastard. Is it raining or did you piss yourself in fear? Pay the debt you owe me. You have a knife, just as you did then. Put out your eye and I will let you leave. One will serve"

Daemon was described by Maester Yandel as dashing, daring, and dangerous, but mercurial and quick to take offense. Archmaester Gyldayn wrote that Daemon was ambitious, impetuous, and moody, as charming as he was hot-tempered.
Ok this is getting crazy now. They are literally changing everything. What even is this show adapting at this stage. This was not supposed to happen ffs. I don't know what to say. Wow
