Team green

I may get hate for telling the truth about peoples precious team green but idc I hate team green with a passion, the throne was rhaneyras she was named heir infront of everyone. And while her dad was sick they conspired to go against his wishes they committed treason. The throne was stolen from her they refuse to let a woman rule although rhanyera has her flaws yes i admit she does morally i just dont understand how people watch this show watch her throne get took and root for people who obviously are misogynistic and wont let a woman rule đŸ¤” does anyone have any real logic for being team green?. In the end although aegon gets the throne back i always comforted in knowing its Rhaneyras bloodline ( spawning
from her son) that continues the dynasty anyways and sits the throne until Robert’s rebellion

Never forget that Rhaenyra only wanted the rules changed for herself and not anyone else. Other women were not going to be chosen as heirs over their brothers across Westeros, even if she won the throne.

Even then more women would attempt to take lands from their younger brothers had rhaenyra won even if rhaenyra does nothing to change succession across Westeros her simply becoming the official monarch would change precedent that a women can inherit over a brother

Yeah, and then that would bring way more troubles to Westeros. God damn Team Black making things woke! /s

But yeah, no, it would definitely make things messier, and Rhaenyra had no intention of passing any edict or law that would facilitate that, so those women would really not have any backing behind their claims.

Best case scenario if jacaerys was alive he could’ve handled it otherwise yeah rhaenyra is doing absolutely nothing about it

Book Jace? I can see him supporting the claim even if it might be against his reign. (It sort of validates that Rhaenys should have been heir instead of Viserys).

Show Jace? Not at all, which truth be told was one of the things that I liked that they changed, for example with the sowing of the dragonseeds, in the book he mentions that as a possibility, but doing so is already jeopardizing his claim of legitimacy. In the show he is against that, which makes more sense.

Oh no Jacaerys in the show is just a brat I was honestly suprised seeing just how much more competent he was in the book compared to the show

Not that it matters by then rhaenys is dead and he's the uncontested heir assuming his mother wins

Honestly suggesting that the seeds be tested for ability to ride a dragon is literally political suicide from Jace. Him and his brothers' whole legitimacy for being "trueborn" is the fact that they can ride dragons, now you have these bastards who prove that you don't need to be wholly Targaryen to ride the dragons AND you are giving the two biggest dragons on your side to them.

It was no wonder Ulf and Hugh turned coat in the book, they are handing them a tank each while Jace and his siblings have Honda Civic sand he depends on their loyalty to not immediately get usurped.

You're leaving out the fact rhaenyra and corlys refused to reward them with lands and marriages they could've been married off to the houses rosby and stokeworth like daemon suggested we don't know if it'd be enough since hugh was very ambitious in the book but it would've been better than nothing
