Condal Turning The Alys Rivers Into A Manic Pixie Dream Girl That Tries To Change Daemon For The Best

Condal turning the Alys Rivers into a manic pixie dream girl that tries to change Daemon for the best and her first priority being the lives of women and children was my last fucking straw.

Why do all the women have to be pure angelic pacifists with no agendas of their own to pursue?

Rhaenyra, Alicent, Mysaria, Alys, Rhaenys and any other female character have been whitewashed to fucking hell. There’s nothing interesting or controversial about them. They’re all just borderline powerless victims who do exactly what Alicent said to Rhaenys in S1 E9: try to guide the men instead of taking action themselves. Where is the feminism in that?

Let women be humans.

a last dance before the feast.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 2.05 "Regent"

I don’t think we needed to see the extended 4k edition but, and don’t swing at me, I think Daemon’s Alyssa vision genuinely did a good job re-iterating Daemon’s sexism as it manifests in his inability to feel something for a woman in a way that’s not sexual and reminding you that hey, surprise! valyrian eugenics incest actually is shocking and vile even if they got you used to it and it creates people who are fundamentally incapable of even semi-healthy interpersonal relationships because normal expressions of affection are sexualized in service of the blood purity they desperately need to keep an iron grip on the populace down to half the rooms in the fucking castle being decorated with pornographic murals of old valyria. Yes it was deeply unpleasant to watch but like the principle behind doctrine of exceptionalism is viscerally disgusting and abusive and so was the vision like it makes sense sorry
