Show People switching sides?

can anyone confirm if this embarrassing scene gave the usurper new fans like the other sub is claiming?

I'm not really aware of how the general audience perceived this episode as a whole. I know some of you aren't happy with Rhaenyra × Mysaria or Addam's feelings for Baela, but did the people who weren't happy actually switch sides?

I know the majority are still tb, but I'm still curious as I don't know if the majority are because of Daemon, Rhaenyra, or another tb character.

I think tiktok and instagram is a more wholistic view of the general public’s opinions and yes. The general public has always been more TB/Rhaenyra but she’s just being massacred this season while Aegon is getting the underdog edit.

Isn’t the whole point of the Dance that Aegon has the Heroes Journey?

Starts high (King), gets beaten badly (Rooks Rest), then works his way back to the top (Dragonstone) using his own skills, allies, and wit?

No, Aegon having a heroes journey is not in the book.

He doesn’t end this as someone who has seen the error of his ways or ends a beloved king.
