TW: the word p*dophile is mentioned once.
HOTD never should have been adapted into a TV series if it refused to stay consistent with the official source material and infantize mass murderers. It was a mistake, a sad waste of time and never should have existed. Season 2 takes what's good about Season 1 and just...insults it to heck. My favorite relationship in the entire show(Daemyra) was treated like an afterthought after being so centralized last season. Too much team green bullshit that goes nowhere this season and way too many plot holes to excuse. Can we please trend the tag "Ryan Condal is a terrible writer" he's awful(no hate to the person, his writing sucks🙏🏻)
Remember when we got seasons of shows yearly?(Lost,TWD,GA and Survivor for example) yeah me either.
A Fandom that gaslights,degrades and insults anyone that refuses to like their favorites and ships. I'm a Pro Team Black and even notice both sides have their share of bad eggs but Team Green just barely edges them out.
The Book is way better, I've had a more emotional experience enjoying fanfiction than watching whatever garbage show this is. Makes Ring of Powers and The Witcher look like early seasons of GoT.
Anybody remember or miss the days when you were entitled to give your opinion without fear of attack? Share your genuine thoughts without feeling ashamed or even dislike certain characters without being called a sexist? Psst let me tell you a secret...
Alicent sucks and the show made her insufferable. It's fine if you like her(I really don't care) but don't pretend she's this harmless sweet delicate flower that did no wrong and was dealt with a bad hand. I'm sorry honey but the "Otto is a Bad Parent" excuse isn't going to make me like her any better. She's held responsible for own fuck ups.
This fandom has surprisingly done everything Stranger Things and Bridgerton did but worse except call me transphobic. I've gotten death threats, threatened to be doxxed, called a p*dophile, racist, a bigot, a sexist and disgusting all over my personal ships and preferences in characters.
I'm not allowed to like the idea of Aegon or ship him with Lucerys(I do what I want bro 🤷🏻♂️). I know he's a genuinely bad character and did some messed up stuff but he's genuinely the only complex and interesting character in team Green. Aemond for me anyway was carried by his interactions with Lucerys and Helaena. You all know how that turned out! Aegon I can appreciate him in how people appreciate Joker. Not liking the shit he says and does but be invested regardless. Plus fanfics on AO3 and NET treat him way better than the writers.
This rant may sound dumb but I'm just frustrated and had to get this off my chest.
