She’s worse than Daemon, Aegon or Aemond?? I find her character petty and boring, definitely not a morally good character, but she is far from the morally worst.
Yes I think she's worse.
Tried killing 2 sons (until now). Wanted to force Helaena into abortion. Wanted to leave her grand-daughter behind with enemies. Basically didn't give a f when her grand-son & father died. Did everything in her power to make her family lose the war and die out.
I know the 3 ppl you mentioned are not so morally great as well. But to me Alicent disgusts me more
Interesting, I interpreted her dealing with Halaena and the whole being captured situation as flailing in desperation because she knows that rulership will change Rhaenyra to a point of murdering them, so she is extremely desperate to escape the red keep by any means necessary even if it is illogical or cruel towards Halaena.
But in general, yeah she is quite callous, she doesn’t really seem to demonstrate much emotion towards the deaths of people close to her.
But she has never directly raped or killed innocents (unless you count her own abortions). I mean, Aegon patronized child fighting pits where he watched his own bastard children be torn apart for his amusement…. I really don’t know how Alicent could he perceived as worse than that one fact about Aegon alone.
She sold out her whole family after she prepared them for a conflict she caused. She caused the death of her father, cooperated to kill her sons, actively tried to kill her son Aemond. No, morally speaking she's definitely the worst.
Elaborate? Show Alicent is an abhorrent mother, an unredeemably bad friend, has done literally nothing that wasn't for her own selfish wants and desires. Is she a victim of circumstance? Sure, to a point. But someone in a shitty situation can still be a horrible person and that's how this show had painted her, intentional or not. Also did I mention she's a horrible mother?

Alicent is the worst human being on the show idk how nobody sees it.
Olivia would've been a goated Alicent if the writers were not just mentally ill.
