Aegon II Targaryen - Human Disaster (character analysis)

It only took 2 weeks, but here's the video for the Egghead.

[@BillyBasd]

Aegon's character was completely assassinated in the show

[@albeldhanoa3601]

While his actions are repulsive, the show could have made him compelling despite those things. The show fails, in my opinion, to display the reasons as to why Aegon is the way he is. Nobody expected him to be a saint, but at face value, the writers think he's complex, but never care to explain what makes him that way.

lol no he wasn’t, you casually forgetting this man was a serial rapist and a pedo in the books.

[@VMohdude-]

lol he’s worse in the books my guy

Props for going into Rhaenyra's faults as well; I really hope in Season 2 they show how she is a poor leader as well. I think that the interesting part of this story is the reality that there were no good choices and that things fell apart due to Viserys' poor rule. I like the idea that she will degrade mentally and emotionally to a bad state. High hopes for season 2, hopefully they don't crash like the House of the Dragon did

I’ll be making a video about Rhaenyra next which I hope to release in a week or so. But yeah, the mental degradation, if done right, will be the proper one that Dany never got in GoT.

Aegon 2 is the King Westeros deserves and needs for the War for the Dawn, he’s got the drip and the best dragon Sunfyre plus he can go cup for cup with Bobby B (like ur channel btw good luck)

TGC improvising the line "do you love me?" tells me that he understands his character better than the writers. I think his acting might get the audience to sympathize with him. Also i think the writers did a big mistake butchering this awesome character who, although a terrible ruler, but one of the bravest Targaryen ever. His bond with his dragon is like no other. Sunfyre was just like his rider. How are they going to recover from that?Why didn't the writers show Sunfyre in season 1? Why did they give us that stupid Rhaenys scene when they had a much better material source from the books? Like you said, they don't give a shit about him. Though i hope they write Aegon much better this season. Or maybe they should just give that job TGC because he knows this character better than the writers do.

I Hope they use these changes to make the ending more tragic :/

[@samsara2521]

This man sniffed like 40 times

[@forgotmyun]

I wouldn’t say he’s a sympathetic character, but someone you can empathize with, while horridly disagreeing with his actions. Changing the pit to his own kids fighting, it’s a very grotesque and macabre trauma response to what he had witnessed at home. It shows a deep inner trauma of realizing he himself was born and raised to fight by his mother and grandfather. I do hope that gets explored a little more as well.

Yeah Rhaenyra should have not convince that guy to hook up (I personally find it wrong) But I think the reason why people don't see it as bad is not because she is a women, believe me. Once a guy was trying to convince me to hook up, I was evidentely uncomfortable but he didn't psycically force himself on me so I didn't complain because I thought it would seen dramatic. 😬 also Sir Cole after the hook up was "in love" with Rhaenyra. Aegon didn't ask or try to convince with gold or other things, according to the girl, he just did it and she was terrify saying it so, yeah Don't blame the audience for making their minds in this one.

[@sardonically-inclined7645]

Modernity. Need I say more?

[@ronirayhufana881]

At least put an effort on making a video....

[@fuckoffgoogle1657]
