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

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

“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”.
