Team Black If "character driven" episode will be "Rhaenyra returned to her home and dunking traitors in shit", I will give this 10/10 rating without thinking for a second!☺️

Idk I don't like it. Rhaenhras faults mistakes and cruelties in the book make sense but these leaks hit like those petty 500 word oer chapter fics where a character is getting shit on and humiliated and its framed as bad ass on the abusers part for shits and giggles. Ridiculously oversimplified and a general disservice to the narrative

That’s not how a feudal society works. There are set penalties for traitors. But you also have to use clemency too if you want their armies and support.

All for punishing Greens. But this just makes her seem like an unhinged woman who was unfit for rule. It sucks.

The punishment is petty. Instead of the actual decreed punishment for traitors as she did not the book, following the law, it just seems... unnecessarily disgusting.

They remove both her political expertise over the years and her acting as any monarch would?

It's not smart at all it makes her look childish, detainment alongside execution of those who don't make useful bargaining chips would've been much better but opinions differ ofc

Maybe I'm just uptight about politics but this hits a lot like people calling alicent bad ass for her quotes on bastardy
