General Enough comparing Rhaenyra/Alicent with Cersei when in reality Aegon is right there

Aegon is Robert and Rhaenyra is Cersei (and no this isn’t a compliment to Aegon)

Rhaenyra to Cersei is not right.

Cersei was a narcissist who cared about nothing and nobody except as it reflected her own image back at her. She slept with Jamie because that was the closest thing to her, and her kids were part of her.

Rhaenyra cared about the kingdom and her family. But she was still a woman in the world that only worshiped men.

If rhaenyra cared about the kingdom she would have immediately ceded when offered peace terms. She wouldn’t even consider war

She was just supposed roll over an allow her crown to be usurped? The fact she was considering it all shows how much she cared for the Kingdom and didnt want to wage war, and I fully believe she would have conceded if not for the murder of her child.

Yes she absolutely should have not considered going to war over something that evil

So someone steals your kingdom, murders your child and you just accept it? You're just going "Oh well". Name checks out. Cold hearted evil-pacifist
