1:28-1:33 that moment there decided for me. You have talent, please continue doing this and keep improving. You'll get there . Goes into my *Featured* list.
cersei is a villain unlike any other. she isn’t the cruelest, the smartest or the bravest but she is the most determined. she will let nothing stand in her way and sometimes that means she makes bad choices but she is a formidable opponent as she will always “choose violence”. she’s become something very dangerous.
👑Cersei wasn't cruel, evil or heading towards madness like many claimed or already MAD. And certainly was not a tyrant like Daenerys loved to claim her to be to Jon and Sansa repeatedly. It was Daenerys' propaganda, a manipulative move on her part in the game. Against Cersei collecting the support of the realm saying they were foreign savage invaders - which was veey true indeed- Actually she was acting more logcal since she lost her children despite the pain and the way it wounded her. "The more people you love the weaker you are. You would do thngs for them you know you shouldn't do. You'll act the fool. To make them happy, to keep tham safe. Love no one but your children,on that account a mother has no choice " (here think a little about Joeffrey as a whole and his decision about Ned Stark, Robert's bastards, assasination attempt of Tyrion etc, you'll see the real Cersei ) And remember the fact that she never resorted to violence when it was not necessary, when there was an other way. She killed only for revenge (and not nonsensical ones on that, only against the real unfair treatments he and her children got, the deadly ones) and for survival. Just think, about the blowing of the Cept of Baelor, Septa Unella, Elaria Sand, Ned Stark... Even about Ned she wanted to send him to the wall even though he knew a fatal secret of hers because she didn't want to start chaos or war and trusted him to keep the secret. She was not hot tempeed especially after the death of her children... She was cool and collected. Followed the logical path. She didn't claim to love the people she ruled over but never tried to bring them any harm and acted upon the best interest of the realm because it meant to be her best interest as well. That might not be compassionate but logic is more important in ruling than sentiments anyway. Nothing we knew about her indicated her becoming a bad ruler when she got the chance to rule on her own right,it was quite the opposite tbh. And nothing she did indcated her descending into madness, she may be selfish but she wasn't self-righteous, entitled, hot-tempered or cruel . She was cool and collected, just like Sansa.
Bellatrix Black Oh I can't express how rejoyced this comment made me 😄 So true, nobody bothers. Because erasing women's experiences, their reasoning and vilainizing them is a longheld custom of ours . Isn't it also the way we were taught about the historical female figures anyways? 😶 Adopting the male wiev/gaze on everything, so sad
I agree! She wasn't mad. She was human...💔 Daenerys killed only because she enjoyed it. She almost never had a reason to kill. When Cersei acted "evil" it was always a reason behind it. She only killed when it was necessary, and it never backfired. The people were safer with Cersei than they were with the targaryens on the throne. Cersei Lannister is the true queen!!! Long may she reign!!!🦁💗
⚜️I see Sansa as her heir, afterall she was a surrogate mother to her. She raised her to be a realistic woman, she did take her time to correct her fantasies and not leaved her to be a sentimental foolish girl when she very well could have but didn't - she did have a heart and not only for her children contrary to the common take on her. And I believe there to be a soft spot in there for little and unprotected girls(from her experiences as one. Her feeling the need to give life lessons to Sansa, the look on her eyes when she is looking at Sansa and the look she has when she looks at and talks about Mrycella, her actions when Mrycella was beeing shipped off to Dorne for political gain and her reaction at Tywin every time he brings up the issue of him marrying herself off again; it all adds up ) just like Tyrion had for criples, bastards and broken things-. Because she knew everywhere in the world they hurt little girls from her own experience in that world she tried to shape the little bird who believed in songs,love and, power and justice of the Gods into a strong women with her advises on life , educating her of realities of beeing a woman in that world. AND HER IDEALS AND IDEAS IS CAME TO LIFE, A WOMAN SEEN AS AN EQUAL TO MAN, A WOMAN IN POWER RULING IN HER OWN RIGHT. HER LEGACY LIVES ON. 👑🦁 👑🐺
THIS is a masterpiece! You deserve much more views! Cersei is more than a just a queen. She is a lioness! She protects her family as good as she can, she tell Sansa, to see the reallity, she gives Joffrey advices to be a better king than Robert, she tell a story to Tommen, that he feels save, she gives Quiborn a chance to show what he can, she gives Shae an advice, how to act better...and so on. And for all these things and much more she is my queen. I would bend my knee for her everytime and everwhere! Long may she reign! Hear her roar! And by the way: Lena deserves an Emmy for this role! And I think, HBO should hire you for making trailer! Thanks for sharing this tribute!
"When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. There is no in-between." Play for stalemate, not to win. Cersei loses because she tries to win. Stalemate is victory. Keep your enemies from attaining the Iron Throne. You never attain it, but they die fighting a battle that must never be won. Choose violence; rip them out, one by one, before they strangle you in your sleep. Witches burn them all. The purest death
Why? Even after that TERRIBLE final season and the outright theft of awards Lena Headey (never) got- Do I still come back to this? Probably your talent.
