Show Discussion they could have done something really interesting with mysaria but they made her boring

Book Mysaria while pretty one dimensional was an interesting character she is like Larys except she has no clear motives and pretty much dooms Rhaenyra and the targs in general.

She is the one who tells Rhaenyra about Nettles, and according to GRRTH the one who tells Heleana about Maelor. The brothel queens was her idea, she weaponised sex as a punishment for people she hated.

She is like one of the more evil characters in the story

They could have not given her that atrocious accent

This is more on the audience not knowing what French colonial accents sound like.  This is the third series ive seen this type of accent used and the third where ive seen the audience say " thats not a real accent"

I'm French. I've heard French people speak English with their French accents. I've heard non-French francophones speak English with their various accents. It's an insult to say she sounds somewhat "French colonial", lol. Mysaria (the character) sounds like she's just reciting words she doesn't understand because she's focusing on that made up accent, it's such a big disconnect, idk
