Andy-hero

Let's ignore for a second how annoying is the Rh@enyra stands making all about her character.

Which death do you think people will feel the most?

That was i talking about yesterday, when I figured out how they should have adapted HotD.

Because imagine. If they actually had started the show with Alicent marrying Viserys. And Rhaenyra was a baby and both Aegon and her grow up togheter, loved each deeply having a unique connection and they actually took a time like akotsk did with developing Duncan and Egg dynamic and flash out the Targaryens brothers.

And then have Daemon and Alicent taking they apart. And the misery they felt that having to go against each other actually bitter them. Imagine that Aegon final moment was carried with guilty, because his house was destroyed, he lost both of his sisters and his son. And he couldn't handle the pain anymore when realising that he was king. And he was alone?

They even could have the show end with Jaehera not let herself listen to Alicent madness and her marriage with Aegon being the ultimate cicle breaking.

akotsk brought me back. it's sooooo good! ira parker i wasn't aware of your game. the dialogue, the characters, the sets the customs. everything is just working and it really feels like got is back while also being original and unique.

i think what stood out the most to me is how FUN is show is. how ALIVE it feels. like you can tell even without watching the BTS that every single person involved in this project was having the time of their lives filming it. also, the show feels alive! i've talked a lot about how empty hotd felt (no ladies in waiting, empty castles etc.) this show is just so full of LIFE. ashford feels like an actual castle that people live in. also the songs & music really are so good

egg and dunk are amazing. we are 3 eps in and i am so invested in their dynamic. ep 3 finale "betrayal" scene felt more earned and emotional then the entire hotd show. the friendship between egg&dunk is just so ... wholesome and authentic. you can really feel the care they both have for each other. i can't help but to compare to hotd, where the lack of love and care (even between parents and children) is so evident. akotsk just feels so ... warm.

the targs are BACKKK. baelor the head of dragon PR and maekar bringing his flop sons to destroy their family's already shitty reputation. maekar being a hater, aerion being a lil shit, valarr with his streak of silver hair. it's perfect.

a scene of lyonel baratheon (who is amazing btw) gathering a bunch of lowborns to "heed his call for war" only to abandon them and return just in time to claim the victory ?? don't you just love it when the showrunners have actually read and understand the author's work ?
