Rhaenyra: how could they possibly believe I had a hand in this monstrous act?

Alicole was underwhelming, but B&C takes the cake as the worst adaptation of a single asoiaf/f&b event so far:
It was so rushed and whitewashed and did not focus on Helaena at all. Where is Helaena pleading for her son's life and offering up her own life instead? Where is Maelor whom Helaena was coerced to offer up as a sacrifice and does not bear to look at? Where is Heleana being forced to make a decision that haunts her entire life? She is obviously traumatized by what happened, but having her just say "they killed the boy" does not do her character and her grief justice. I really hope we get to see more of Helaena in episode 2 because it would be really upsetting if the show just brushes her off.
Not to mention Alicent's absence from the events of B&C. Alicent was really there, worried for her daughter's and grandchildren's lives, and was the first person to offer Helaena some comfort and consolation. The more I think about it the more mad I get because we got robbed of what could have been a truly harrowing and distressing scene that would do the events and the characters justice. Book!B&C was about two mothers and their shared agony, pain, and grief. It could have been powerful and shocking from an acting perspective alone if they had followed the events of the book.

do the hotd writers not understand that the show would be infinately more compelling if they stuck to the books in providing both sides with nuanced portrayals? in framing team black as oppressed saints and team green as unsympathetic fools they only work to make all the characters less enjoyable.
what purpose has removing maelor from the show (therefore ruining daeron's future storyline if they ever include him) other than making b&c less psychologically damaging for helaena? why was alicent not here? the parallels of grief meant to be drawn in 'a son for a son' were ultimately stripped in all of these decisions. helaena doesn't even call her dead son by his name when telling alicent about it- its all so detached and disappionting.
oh and of course this was all a mistake which daemon had no part in.

Nothing upsets me as much as the absolute fuckup that was B&C in the show. Sometimes I can not even believe it.
Not even going to mention Maelor, because GRRM already did (not wanting to hire toddlers my ass. That wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t choose to de-age like four tweens into toddlers)
But removing Alicent is just weird.
Blood & Cheese is not a debated passage, it is seen as straight up fact. The only things that aren’t completely confirmed are the details of the orders.
Let me get this straight:
Alicent was a victim of Blood and Cheese. They broke into her room, and bound her so she couldn’t scream and then made her watch the murder of her grandson.
Making her end Blood & Cheese in a borderline comedic scene of Helaena walking in on her mom is so genuinely fucked up.
Ryan Condal saying that it is somehow is propaganda is straight up false. That is literally him writing his own fanfiction.
Instead of Alicent going through Blood & Cheese with Helaena and her grandchildren, we get her riding Criston. Which I honestly think was just to make her a hypocrite regarding her treatment of Rhaenyra.
Alicent and Criston has no hint at having a sexual and/or romantic relationship in the books, so Ryan Condal decided to make up a situationship so Alicent could be a hypocrite by not being there during Blood and Cheese.
Not to mention that Blood and Cheese were the protagonists in what they called “black comedy” instead of the victims who barley got screen time. They felt that it was so much more important to show the child murderers than said children.
