Neo. The Only. The One.
THE ONE
People, Rhaenys couldn't just blast the altar/dais like she's got a killshot in COD.
The guy who crowned Aegon? That's the high septon, who's basically the pope in the south.
She burns the entire royal family + him kills the reputation of whoever follows.
Especially in a room full of witnesses, both noble and smallfolk.
She already did damage just ripping out from underneath them like that, with all the bodies she got but Hollywood is gonna always go for the cool shot/moment even if they'd be better served with more intentional actions/directing.
She could've easily landed on the steps, roared and then tossed a green banner at the ground for her dragon to alight and still got the exact same message across and not kill a bunch of defenseless commoners.
I don't understand how some people are so bad at this ish.
Yep. Then she and by proxy Rhaenyra will forever be known as kingslayers.
There's levels to this politics stuff and folks don't be understanding it.
It wasn't her place to kill any of them. She's not trying to get the throne.
That's Rhaenyra's fight.
