Seriously if they prepared Aegon to rule he'd listen and be easier to deal with. Now his alliance with Larys Strong where he is teaching him that his mind is his best weapon. That's exactly what Aegon needed from the beginning. A guidance, a mentor.
@@Nicholas_Chen_it was good era but surrounded by stupid ppl if he was born in got era that era is filled with monsters mountain dont need to tell what things he did then his master twyin Cersie Ramsay Frey Greyjoys Dothraki Etc Dance of the dragon era was peaceful untill aemond ruined it Its the best era look at the castles cities its look beautiful in got it looks junk Ik it was made before and budget but in their world its fuz rhey got old
@@Jiya-od2vono it was because once again kings Landing was in turmoil... Rhaenyra's taxes caused the small folk to hate her. Helena committed suicide and it was rumoured Rhaenyra killed it. The civil turmoil wad si big that the rumour sparked the small folk to storm the dragon pit
@barak9966 No,what they means is that's supposedly the same man that tells the smallfolk that now is the time to storm the dragonpit and slay all the dragons in the pit
@@neuviotterss Cristin Cole made a mistake when he paraded the defeated dragon's head. Dragons are mythical beings seen as gods. He broke that myth making people realise they can be killed thus lowering fear of dragons and those who own them.
It’s like what Rhaenyra told her when they went head to head after Lucerys cut Aegons eye, “Exhausting isn’t it? Hiding behind the cloak of your righteousness, but now they see you for what you are.” How fitting
What's interesting is some in the crowd actually seem to be defensive of Alicent and Helaena. The old man who runs towards Alicent at 1:51 shouts "My Queen!" and seems like he was running over to help her up after seeing her fall down. And again at 2:15 the guy on the left of the screen seems like he's shoving the rest of the crowd away from Alicent and Helaena and has his back to them the whole time.
@@varricThe poor man literally lost his hand when he was just trying to help Alicent. He even refers to her as "my queen." So yes, there are still people who care about Alicent.
Now I realised he probably was trying to help her up but had his hand cut off. That’s tragic and would shatter him and make him bitter about the Greens had he survived.
Unlike alicent, renerhya desvered it, she thrested alicent child to be sharply questioned after alicent son was already mauled by her sons just becuase he spoke the ovbious truth She was mad and rageful for the injustice her son was receiving If it was renerhya cutting alicent i bet all you team blacks wouldve cheered and defended it
@@PRubin-rh4srAemond was telling the truth? He offended the girls who just lost their mother, he attacked the boy who was younger and weaker. Alicent's rage as a mother is understood, but an adult takes a valirian steel to take a child's eye? No, dude, Alicent was vicious and jealous, she failed as a mother and as a ruler.
@@Thebeezzkneezz. alicent usurped the throne,fighting tooth and nail to put her son, which she knows is a disgusting person to seat it,and mind you she contributed to said disgusting she decided to raise him to despise his sister and nephews, as well as silencing his victim which he assaulted. putting her children in direct danger, had many chances to put an end to the war/prevent it but didn't. and when bad things start to happen she tries to play victim, so tell me again how she doesn't deserve it?
I think this is the only time we see Alicent be a decent mother, she was trying to protect Helena until Helena got safe keeping her own body between Helena and the crowd when she could, only motherly thing we have seen from her
I think she did the same thing when Rhaeny's ruined Aegon's coronation and Alicent stood in front off Aegon to protect him. But Alicent seems to be more protective off Helaena.
Phia Saban as Helaena steals every scene she's in. Her reactions are always so surprising--I think she's having one of her visions again at @1:44-1:50.
I’m with Rhaenyra through, and through. But damn. Helaena never deserved all of these. She can be a good ally as well. With her dreams, etc. She can become a good asset. But then there’s her nearing tragic end…. 😢
The TV show depicts Rahenyra as a saint... She was just as bad as the greens... There are no good parties in the dance of dragons it's a faction of jerks fighting another faction of jerks.
Hugh Hammer is beginning to show a violent side. Even though he was shown to be sympathetic even likable in the earlier episodes. Interesting. A nice way to portray how a good man can become desperate.
What’s interesting is that when Alicent and Helaena are pinned against the wall some of the small folk put themselves between the royals and the mob, I like that it’s a good detail to show that the city is just as split as the family
I think alicent was never good to her kids but becomes overly protective of them when danger comes and shields them from it like a true mother. She's just very protective of her children like rhaeneyra 😢
@@Damodred_HeiressPretty sure If she had done what rhaenyra did. Take her children and herself and go to old town there are people who will actually take care of her and the children. She would learn how to be a good mother
Aegon’s Kingsguard are incompetent but tbh, what else was the guy who cut that man’s hand supposed to do? He just laid his hand on the dowager queen without her permission. That’s to be expected.
Shove him aside? Yell "Don't touch the Queen"? Literally put himself between them? There where plenty of options for a strong knight like him that did not involve his sword. So no, bro was a dumbass, he gets no outs for making the situation 10x worse!
@@MrDibara Shove him aside while he holding her arm? What if both felt to the ground and crowd got to her before she get up? What does yelling and putting himself in between gonna do when the old guy already holding arm and refuse to let go? Violence is not the best way to solve the problem true, but it's damn sure is the fastest.
You can see the bottom of the screen where the guards are trying to keep the people away from Alicent and Helaena. A man was trying to help and comfort the poor man with his arm severed. There are innocent people who would help others even if some don't care but there are others who do care for their injuries during the riot. 2:06
This iswhen she should have sent Haelena to the Houses that pledged tor them with messages as her daughter was tarn to Old Town and she and Deron have stayed there never to enter a war
I wonder if the man who had his hand cut off is the Shepherd, who rallies the smallfolk to rise up and kill the dragons. In the books, he was a one handed man - did we just see the Shepherds beginning?
finely someone said right thing everyone blame rhaenyra or aegon or alicent it was otto fault he did all this mass because his hunger for power and want make his house Powerful but in the and he lost and destroyed life of his daughter and his grandchildren if only accept rhaenyra as his queen none this happened thank you for understanding 😊
Dogs are sacred in all but a few cultures. Not only would it be unrealistic, but no one watching the show wants to see the sweet little dog killed for a tiny bit of meat. Edit: He's also a lot more useful as a hunter of vermin. Basically, that's why you don't kill a dog - they provide more meat by hunting for you than can be gained from their corpse.
I am surprised that we didn't see that one Kingsguard that was getting ganged up by the small folk, got one of his limbs torn down. That would be a good parallel with Game of Thrones Season 2, when the High Septon who blessed Myrcella's marital departure, later got his arm ripped off by angry and starving rioters thanks to Joffrey's rule
I haven't seen the series but from the clips I've seen. I don't think Helena killed herself, i think it was a maid her brother had assaulted or if she actually did jump it then we will never truly know. Also i noticed alicent was injured in the same place she cut reanya( i know i didn't spell there names right) lol😂
