Not to mention this is just ASOIAF/GoT shyt to a tee. The way you do a thing in this world is almost more important than the thing you're doing. See Red Wedding etc. Time and place for everything. Had she cooked all them right there that would have been it for house velaryon almost assuredly.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.
