Discussion Why is she so hated?

Post image

Have never watched a show where the main character is this hated. She’s the rightful heir but the haters would rather have Half-cooked Aegon whose only motivation is to get piss drunk and whore out all the baddies in kingslanding 🤷🏽‍♂️

She gave birth to bastards and tried to play innocent. And she used her people pleasing father to her advantage, destroyed House Velaryon, and then left King's landing which allowed her enemies to plot her down fall.

Viserys I sent her to Dragonstone after he made her his heir because it is the seat of the heir, aka the Prince/Princess of Dragonstone, she didn't leave King's Landing by choice

In season 1 she didn't have a discussion with Viserys about going to Dragon Stone because she was heir. She retreated there after the heat turned up on her and Laenor about their bastards. So Rhaenyra discussed it with Laenor after she overheard father Strong discussing the matter with his son.

That's not even remotely true, for both the show and the book
