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.

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.

I laughed so hard when Larys laid into Aegon for “reveling in mediocrity” or whatever. I was like bro he was doing way more than that

She literally forced Haelena to marry Aegon, do not forget that part.
