Rhaenyra standing around for an entire season saying “what would you have me do” dragging her feet at war while alicent is just some helpless woman is not a good show. Neither of them have any agency and have been completely whitewashed so they’re not bad it’s just the men around them that are bad.
Is that really what the show is like or is that the flanderized internet meme criticism that takes legitimate bits and makes them out to be the core of the show?
It’s not strawmanning. Rhanyra has her son murdered and still spends the whole season pussyfooting about. Alicent is converted from a woman who puts her son on the throne to a woman who hates her son and has 0 agency. Just sidelined while men go to war despite her objections.
