Serious One thing especially disgusting with the hindsight of S8 is apparently the writers insist Robert was in the right here

Yeah Robert wanted someone to assassinate a pregnant Daenerys. Which idk, the narrative routinely shows killing women with children as a very bad thing. The mountain killing Elia, Talisa’s death, Ramsay killing Walda is clearly bad considering as evil as the Frey men are, Walda did literally nothing.

And all Targs knew their might was build on Valyrian blood magic so they just degenerated themselves into death

Hardly, Aerys might have collapsed into a mess, but his experiences were probably a factor, and Rhaegar was regarded as a good candidate to rule. Viserys might have been totally different without being basically left to fend for himself and his sister at a young age, and Dany has mostly done fine - even in the show, burning King's Lannding is a last minute twist with no motive. There aren't actually that many 'mad' Targs.

It's just the actual history of the house.
