May be Leslie Knope from Parks&rec?

It's not a show, it's a movie named Inside Out

It's always refreshing when such scenes are more immersive than action scenes or battles.

Many actually

He also doesn't care about the girls he has graped. So yeah, he's pretty self-centered and thinks way too highly of himself as royalty.

TRUUUUUUUUUUEEE

That's not what bromance means. And their daughters were FRIENDS, leave your fetishes aside

xD​@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849

Aegon II was still an angel by comparison pre-Rook's Rest. Now that Aemond has become regent and Larys is encouraging Aegon to be "better", both brothers will be competing on who gets to be the worse version of Daemon.

It doesn't get any better for Aegon going forward. Even without the injuries, history of Westeros will not remember him kindly and the common consensus between Westerossi historians is that he and Rhaenrya were just as bad as each other. The difference is that we get to see Aegon's dark side first, where as Rhaenyra's darkness is just to come.

Otto climbed so high up the ladder that he went up on the “do not pass this step” part and is now FO his FA

You’d think someone who lives in the city with the citadel would read anything about the Targaryens would realize that trying to manipulate them just ends with a bunch of people dying, like thousands.

​@@RRed19 Otto grew "lax" (kind of) in his years serving the aged Jahaerys and the "weak" Viserys. He must thought those accounts on the Targaryens were exaggerated or "a thing of the past", and was expecting Aegon to be a meek puppet for him to use, just like the two previous kings whom Otto had experience with. *BOY, did Otto mess up there!* Maybe had he been more involved with his grandson, he might have noticed he wouldn't turn out like that.

Tommen-Style? xD

@@tobiasstange8346 literally. I would’ve taken that hand of king pin off, and just watched between and off the ledge

@@maggierappa417 Otto, over and out! xD

Aegon was actually right about everything, despite the writer's best efforts to make us hate him. Ser Aryk actually came really close to killing Rhaenyra. He happened to get spotted by Mysaria and his brother happened to walk in on him literal seconds before he killed her. Lucky for Rhaenyra, but Aegon was very close to ending the war at the price of 1 life. The ratchatchers were a clear security breach in a time of war after the young heir to the throne was brutally slain by one of them. But more than that, Aegon was right about the smallfolk as well. He wanted to give back the guy's sheep. He wanted to not stave the populace, which happened, so they don't revolt, which happened. On that note, Aegon wanted to burn down the blockade, which he was advised against, for no apparent reason. He was also right about Harrenhall. Left unchecked, Daemon managed to raise an army and add the Riverlands to Rhaenyra's supporters. Daemon needed to be dealt with. The only time Aegon did what he wanted was when he named Larys to the Small Council. And now that same man has saved his life and remained loyal while all others betrayed him. Everyone in that family is constantly undermining and disrespecting the person who they put on the throne despite him not wanting it. Aegon's biggest failure is not believing in himself enough and listening to lesser men (and women).

@@vaeldrnero6251damn, you’re right. This just totally changed my mind about Aegon

Idk about that but at least it's good to see that he has principles

And we're about to see worse than Daemon with Aemond in charge.

are we talking about the same Otto who ordered to kill those nobles who won't support Aegon? Otto is a hypocrite

⁠@@marco002otto is doing that to thwart war. Its not necessarily hypocritical.

@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba lol no, remember Robb Stark? If he would not have executed Lord Karstark he would not have lost a bunch of followers.. Otto made the very same mistake, not to mention that he also ordered to kill innocents, so yeah, he is a hypocrite

This is probably an omission of the screenwriters, who wanted Aegon to grow up to be a complete fool. I do not believe that planning to put a grandson on the throne, a man like Otto will simply ignore his upbringing and training, allowing him to become a drunken loser

@@vahagnmkhitaryan9909 no I meant really he should have been there for each and every child born in his family, starting with Alicent. Rhaenyra was flawed, but the one job she did flawlessly was bringing up her children. I think he should have taken a page out of her book. Remember how Alicent couldn't even hug Aegon when he was sobbing for his child? That's a learned behavior. Aemond goes to a brothel just to feel some semblance of maternal comfort, or whatever tf he wants. Otto was a flawless hand. I imagine, in performing his duty to the realm and furthering the future of his house, he didn't calculate just how important his duty to his own family was in terms of executing his strategy and plans.

If he had discipline and education, then he could not be controlled. If he had discipline and education, then he would be Aemond. And Aemond cannot be controlled by Otto or Alicent.

@@chengvang2126 I don't think so, it depends on the individual.

​@leviismyoppa967 Knowledge is power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Doesn't listen to reason and pragmatism*

aegon's an idiot though, man had no regard for consequences

@@frname7665 everybody hating on Otto but the guy knows what he is talking about.

I just had a thought. Is Otto named after Otto von Bismarck?

He hanged a whole profession because one of them did a crime. Yeah, he's one of those individualist types. Very progressive.

There have been times this season where I feel bad because everyone is shitting the bed where as he’s not doing bad things. But then I remember him in season one

@@PtownSoccer15 Tbf he did also suggest away to avoid this, but Viserys did not listen, marry Rhaenyra and Aegon. He also did support Rhaenyra as heir, because he saw her as smart and regal while Daemon is a murderous abusive dictator no matter what role he takes, until she snuck off to the brothel with her uncle in extremely conservative times.

@@jacobite2353 Nah dude, he only suggested Rhaenyra to be heir in order to get rid of Daemon, and then after his daughter married the king, he was pushing for Aegon to be heir since that’s his own blood. He was only using Rhaenyra.

@@timliebhauser And it was a great plan, no one expected that the guilt over Aemma's death would overshadow Viserys's mind and he would leave his daughter an heir to the detriment of his son
