From a Writer's Perspective Episode 12: Who Would be a Good Ruler in House of the Dragon?

Episode 12 of From a Writer's Perspective series dives into the realm of Westeros and explores the four characters of House of the Dragon who want the iron throne.
It is my opinion that two of these characters would make horrible kings if they sat the iron throne, while the other two characters could be good rulers despite their flaws.
So here is an in-depth analysis on Aemond, Daemon, Rhaenyra and Aegon and they shouldn't or could be king/queen.

There should not be any debeating, the Queen was named by Viserys, there Is only a Queen . I like Demon because he serves Rhynera, the other two are two sick and sad people coming from a mad powerhungry house. There was a Queen, the discussion stops at this fact. Opinions? Since there was a Queen everybody trying to mess things up Is not suitable to be anything but a carpet used to clean dirty shoes over and over and over. Rhynera wanted to be Queen because she Is the queen. The others are just with her or thief. Someone Who Is not king or Queen but Is wise would stand close ti the Queen and advice her, never fight to rule. Those Who don't get this are thief and murderes willing to go into a war. That's where opinions ENDS.

I think it was mentioned in season 1 that if a woman took the throne there would be a rebellion from the lords, but how you stop that from happening is simple. If Rhaenyra's half-siblings support her, then she has their dragons on her side, plus the dragons belonging to her, her husband, her children and Rhaenys, and all you have to do is fly those dragons over the castle of any grumbling lords and they'll bend the knee. If House Targaryen remained united then the other houses wouldn't have stood a chance mounting a rebellion. It wouldn't have mattered if they insisted on Aegon being king, all Aegon would have to do is put his support to Rhaenyra and the lords wouldn't have had a leg to stand on. But Otto's ambitions are at the root of it.
