Lady Stonehearts Simp Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Viserys gave her an opportunity that not even crown prince’s got. She got to choose her match. And she outright avoided making a decision until Viserys made one for her. Areisius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelwen Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Well, she saw how her mother was killed for a male heir. She was made to give birth again and again. I see why Rhaenyra wanted to marry someone who had care for her, not just for her womb? Besides the show version of speed dating was stupid. She had no chance to choose. wiedzma and Morte 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 The whole plotline from episode 3 kind of fizzles out in the show ... Viserys says she can make her own match, and then he sends her on a suitor tour where men throw themselves in front of her in a very formal way that makes it almost impossible that she can judge the character of a candidate or get to know them in a proper way. Whatever choice she has in that setting is no choice at all - it is like 'the choice' Aegon III has at the ball. In the next episode her match is made for her because of the whole Daemon affair ... and because Viserys really feels the need to placate the Velaryons and heal the rift between the two houses. I'm not sure what the point of the 'you can find your own match' was ... when they didn't do anything with that. They could have had a plot where Laenor and Rhaenyra actually agreed to marry for the good of their houses. In fact, Rhaenyra being reluctant to have children in the show could have meant she would deliberatly choose a consort who would not knock her up (immediately). Then the fact that she has children as early as she has would be explained with her falling in love with Harwin. But for that the show would have to portray the Rhaenyra-Harwin thing.

Areisius Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Yes, she is a spoiled brat who loves to use her power on people beneath her but doesn't want the responsibility that power comes with. I hated when people had the audacity to try and compare her to Daenerys. Edited August 31, 2023 by Areisius BlackLightning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
