aemond and aegon ii

The inspiration

“It’s a very, very complex character. One minute we love him, the next we hate him, but I’m really enjoying that sort of back and forth aspect of the role. It’s a tricky thing to play, but it’s rewarding in so many ways.”

Tom Glynn-Carney on playing Aegon II Targaryen

I think people lose all objectivity when it comes to digesting Aegon because he's problematic and flawed and many confuse the appreciation of his character for some weird endorsement of Aegon's bad actions.

Some even want to claim the actor hates his work. This is so false.

And here's the thing: the prevalent hatred people have for Aegon is less about the horrible things he's done and more about the fact that he's a Green.

Team Black abbhor the man and justifiably so. However, they adore their Daemon despite of all the violence he's committed against women. They even cheered him as he committed those acts. 😣

People love Jaime despite of what he did to Cersei in front of their dead son and how he hurled a child down a window.

People enjoy Tyrion and even Littlefinger.

Dany stans worship Khal Drogo despite of what he did to her on the onset of their marriage!

But hey, you must all pull a stop at Aegon! Another flawed and problematic character that has even yet to be developed because season 1 gave most of the Queen's and Princess' kids crumbs.

All right, got it.

Hate the character because it's a vibe. Hate the actor for doing his job. Lie that he hates his job (he's never said anything of the sort). Lie that people who enjoy other aspects of his character condone rape etc.
