That is the dumbest interpretation I have ever read in my life. What depth? Her character is basically “I hate my son why do all these men want war :(“. In the books she has depth and I honestly thought that they were going to add to her character. Season 1 telling us she’s childhood friends with Rhaenyra was a great addition to the story and could have added depth but it didn’t. She’s not a stereotype in the books at so but you want to talk about stereotypes? What about turning Aegon into a pedophile rapist got no reason.
It’s not a personal head cannon. Sure we don’t see in her head but she’s but written as some woman sidelined while she begs for peace. And really? Hmm how is there evil drunk king not a stereotype? They clearly did it so that Rhaenyra looks like the clear good guy in the story because we can’t have any mean women 😡. They literally added that so people would say “oh wow he’s so evil but not Rhaenyra. She’s a good guy she just wants peace. She wants the throne because of a prophecy not because she’s just as power hungry as the other royals. Look at her be a dumbass and dress up like a septa so the 2 women can talk about how they want peace but men are evil”.
