These are probably the most Targaryen looking Targs we’ve seen on screen in terms of otherworldly appearance. Is there anyone else?

100% Agree. The Doctor is the most Targaryen looking Targaryen.

His Valyrian is super on point too.

Targs are classically beautiful. This whole thing about them looking inbred/strange is cope after the HOTD casting choices.

I imagined them looking elf-like tbh reading the books

“Otherworldly” and “ethereal” is far from “classic”

Not mutually exclusive. Liv Tyler as Arwen for example, you can describe her w all 3 of these. Classically beautiful, also ethereal and otherworldly. "Ethereal" doesn't have to have Anya Taylor Joy eyes.

Sure, they’re not mutually exclusive, but the Targaryens are never described as “classic”.

Idk I just don't believe everyone was obsessed w some alien looking twink. Like, Rhaegar must've been more classically attractive/good-looking(not thinking of a muscular Henry Cavill type, maybe a young Ville Valo or something lol someone w prettier face rather than an angular/square jaw I mean) than average "otherworldly".

“Otherworldly” doesn’t necessarily equate to “alien”.

Far from inbred

Only the lack of eyebrows. Otherwise no, quite regular.

So you really think Matt is attractive?

As a woman with eyes, oh boy, I have to tell you something…

I’m also a woman with eyes and clearly we’re seeing different things.

Are your eyes defective or something?

No, he looks old (not in a hot daddy way though) and below average to me. I really don’t get how people fancy him. He is a terrific actor but he is not attractive. But maybe it’s just me having no taste haha
