this scene just showed how she really views aegon, as nothing. They dont want to teach him, they want him to do nothing, so they can rule through him. Its humiliating, its degrading, it shows how much they look down on him since forever
when ppl laugh and joke about b&c they say its all fiction and just a show, but when people say they like aegon or team green suddenly we're all misogynistics and rape apologists??
this whole scene actually broke my heart, i dont think i've seen something just so sad and vulnerable, showing aegon at his worse but also showing his insane recovery and strength at the same time
its really sad how aegon was actually trying to be a good king and better to his family in the first episodes, then after jaehaerys was murdered and he got no support from anyone in his family and instead continued to be belittled he went right back to getting drunk in brothels
i feel like the show is ignoring jaehaerys' murder, are you telling me this 4 year old baby was beheaded and no one is bringing this up? Where is aegon's fire for revenge? Where is alicent's guilt? Why did aemond, one of the most responsible for it, not even get confronted??
and to this day some people say he has no feelings, is just a psychopath, only cares about himself. Imagine completely misunderstanding a character this badly when THIS is who we're talking about
Aegon's raw genuine emotions and humanity contrasting with his bad actions are one of my favorite parts of his character and tom glynn-carney just does it SO well, he really gets it and his understanding of what he's doing is whats saving the character in the show
"A son for a son" as if a 4 year old baby wasnt beheaded because of this bullshit already?? I've been saying they're ignoring his death for this dumbass narrative. And also alicent acting as if she's innocent?? Sacrificing aegon as if she wasnt the one who put him there???
its so annoying that even when he was a child aegon was ignored and blamed for everything. And even now he's blamed and judged for something he never wanted. Alicent and Otto never did any effort to prepare him for this, now they're mad he sucks? Fuck them
in the end of the day no matter how much they ruin the story, how much the writing makes no sense, how most of the characters suck, aegon will still be serving face and carrying the whole show, and thats the only reason i'll be watching 🫶
"oh tgc only talks about aegon's feelings and his view" ..maybe because thats his character? That he's playing? The feelings that..he's portraying? Thats because he understands the character?
alicent and otto with the "you have no idea the sacrifices that were made to put you on the throne" and "he was right you" YOU'RE THE ONES WHO PUT HIM THERE STFUUUU
