In my humble opinion in that love triangle nobody has chemistry.

Tom-Phia-Ewan would have had a more believable love triangle.

In my no so humble opinion. S3 is so disjointed because is trying to fix the mess of s2. And what I mean by that.

In S2 because of writers strike Sara and Ryan had to much power and role with any bs. And S2 contradicted a lot of things S1 stablish. And what S1 stablish?

Aemond/Helaena/Aegon triangle ft Alys . And Alicole/Daemyra being foils to eo. Is so obvious because besides the set up. They clearly are casted intentionally to have chemistry to each other.

When we saw silvy in S1 they didn't hint as mommy issues thing. And looked like they didn't see eo for so long. But that was retcon in S2 so they could explore this homelander from wish plot.

But in S2 and don't know who ( probably Sara since she loved to humiliate Olivia and Alicent) had the idea of shift Helaena fron Alicent. And the ground is there. 99% of the problems of this season is because they are trying to fix or make it work what they set up in S2.

I do think they come around with some aspects but some fall short.

Criston and Alicent plot was erase too. Besides Fabien indirectly confirmed we saw set photos that they actually shared scenes later on the season.

But with Cole out. Alicent destroyed beyond repair they have to rise someone as daemyra antagonist foils and that is Ormund and Daeron role. Now they are struggling to fit her into the narrative again. Because she become to alien to it.

I will forever mourn this version of Aemond and the arc he could have had. I am so sorry, my prince. Everyone failed you.

I NEED movies to start portraying Menelaus being MISERABLE.

I’m so tired of the “Spartan man = emotionless brute” stereotype they gave him. SHOW HIM doubting before killing enemies. Show the moments where he feels pity for the men forced into war, for the lives that will never return home. Show him trying to avoid war peacefully, only for Paris to ruin it, because consequences have never been his concern. Yes, Menelaus is still a MAN whose honor has been shattered. Yes, he wants revenge. But what about the moments where he questions the gods? Where he wonders why this is his fate, why he is the one who has to endure this, after welcoming the Trojan prince into his home with hospitality, only to have his kingdom violated and his wife kidnapped. And how Zeus still favors the son of Troy.

And Helen, I am begging to them to stop romanticizing her Abduction. Stop turning her into this brainless, superficial pretty blonde. LET HER BE ANGRY. Let her snap back at Aphrodite. Let her rage at being treated like a toy for the goddess’s favorite pretty human boy. Let her scream at Paris for his cowardice, his selfishness, his refusal to take responsibility while others die for his choices. Show the guilt that was never hers slowly consuming her through years of cruelty and a war fought in her name, one she never asked for, because of men. Stop reducing her to "Paris's forbidden love", she was a mother, taken away from her HOME and daughter. Show her telling Aphrodite that if she loves Paris so much, she should sleep with him instead.

Show how complicated their relationship is once the war is over, twisted by the whims of a reckless prince and the cruelty of the gods. Show how love turns into resentment, how survival replaces romance, how neither of them comes out unmarked. Show the moment when Menelaus finally finds her, when he drops his sword, because he cannot see himself as capable of killing her. Show how Helen is tired and resigned, accepting the death she believes her former husband will give her.

You Trojans who stole away my wedded wife and hoards of riches too, for no reason, none, my queen of the realm who hosted you with kindness.

I'm trying out a new drawing app, and what better than my favorite doomed couple.

Decided to redraw this old Menehelen art

Menelaus + Helen

Remember, hearing some where that before marriage spartan women would cut off their hair, after that, I I really like the idea of Helen of Sparta cutting off her hair again when she sees her husband after the Trojan war, to sort of reestablish their relationship 💕

Y’all cannot be deadass, do you genuinely believe Nolan, a white man, was intentionally making social commentary with Helen’s race? Do you genuinely believe this story of a Greek character being recast as a black woman only to be rewritten to get abused by her white husband was actually good writing? Do you genuinely believe that Menelaus fetishizing Helen’s skin color and scarring her face to humiliate her is good reinterpretation of Helen and her relationship to Menelaus?

Mediocre white men can really get away with anything huh?
