@danika9411 Thats an interesting theory. I can imagine Alicent, Visyres or Otto telling him something along the lines of "It'll be a bit of fun, no need to get upset about it" Honestly, I don't really like either side that much, but I have more sympathy for Aegon and his siblings because they are children being used by the adults and going up against the adults.

At least his reason to snap later after losing his son is understandable same as Rhaenyra who's also just losing her son. Also, he got pushed by his mom and his grandpa to sit in the Throne just because he's King Viserys' firstborn son and he's still confused and clueless. Meanwhile, Joffrey is a spoiled brat who thought he can do whatever he wants just because he's the King's son. When he tormented Arya's butcher friend in earlier Season 2, he was doing that for fun with smile for hjs face. Also, his mom, Cersei is a bad mom who can't control him and not as strict as Alicent.

[@niii5949]

Aegon has very little to do with Joffrey ! His portrayal in the first season made him looks he would be the same type of king but thankfully, it seems they are trying to qualify that now. In the book, he wasn't nearly as bad

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

I think the Joffrey 2.0 comment came in the first season when people were drawing parallels with GOT, but Aegon II is clearly his own beast, pretty sure that's what the actor said in an interview as well. I don't see much similarity, he is arguably more similar to Robert Baratheon, just drunk, incompetent and doesn't seem too bad.

[@adityabora9131]

They are definitely taking a different route with aegon Case in point- the petitions scene.

[@jamiemohan2049]

Aegon seems more like an immature guy not a monster. His reaction to his sons death showed he cared a lot for him, and in episode one he actively spends time with him and clearly loves him. This is not how Aegon was treated by his parents. Even other characters refer to Jaeherys as 'the child', 'the boy' and Rhaenyra calls him an 'it' when argueing with Daemon. Aegon is the only one that calls him his son (Helaena doesnt say it and grandmother and great granddad dont refer to him as their grandson, just the kid). I exclude Helaena from the how she refers to her son as she is autistic. But his reaction is not something Joffrey would do.

[@katyacyrkan7271]

​@@jamiemohan2049well to be honest, Helaena calls her son "MY boy" this episode while speaking to Alicent about funeral. And speaking about the phrase "They killed the boy" from Helaena at the end of ep1, I always interpreted it as kind of detachment as if she fears that of she says her son's name out loud, if she says "They killed Jaehaerys", this tragedy she just witnessed will truly be real, instead of a simple nightmare she can wake up from she wishes it to be.

@@НикитаСимонян-ж5е Probably because Daemon has a "bad boy" charisma. It's not rational, it's psychological. Having a badass image, even if more of a window dressing than what your real character, can earn you indulgence for a lot of things. (*) Though Aegon, without excusing his screw up nature and sexual predator urges, is still more likeable and braver than Joffrey (whom I can't imagine holding his bravado for more than 15 secondswere he involved in real action, on dragonback or not), Daemon looks more "manly". (*) A personal example : when I was a teenager (not long ago, I'm 24 now), I felt for Vladimir Putin's badass memes because I didn't know much about modern Russia until the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. I had heard about the civilians death toll of airstrikes in Syria, rumors of killing journalists and faking elections, but at most I half-believed it partly because I had a good image of Russia people and culture (I honestly thought it was better now just because the Soviet ideology was gone), partly because I saw Putin as a more charismatic, unbending and stronger-fisted man that our pathetic leaders in the West who cow before terrorism, and partly because at an age where our critical mind develop, we sense how the mainstream media can be untrustworthy on so many issues, so it becomes harder to take their word for it on topics you're less familiar with.

Am I the only one that thinks that the greens are much more interesting characters than the blacks? Like, don’t get me wrong, they aren’t any morally better, but people who prefer Team Black tend to only like Rhaenyra and Daemon, while they could care less of the Velaryons or the others. Even then, Rhaenyra and Daemon are “easy-to-understand” characters to me, hence I don’t feel allured by them. In season 1, characters like Otto, Alicent and Aemond won me over. Now in season 2, I grow to care for Helaena’s innocence and Aegon, even though I know Aegon is a lazy lout, his redeeming qualities are being playful with his kids and being genuinely willing to aid his people despite understanding what it would cost his house. I don’t know, the complexity of Team Green is a big part that keeps me interested in the show.

[@anthonyvigil7567]

No, I think so too. To be honest the only character I like in the blacks is daemon. I actually like Corlies and Raneys a lot more than Rhaenyra.

[@Marco_______]

Yeah I totally agree. We know next to nothing about many of the Black’s characters. Baela, Rhaena and little Jeoffry might as well be background characters. I mean Jeoffry makes sense but literally the only interesting think we know about Daemon’s daughters is that one longs for a dragon and acceptance from her father. Nothing else. Even Jace. He’s charming and handsome but we literally know nothing about his personality. His characterisation is nothing compared to Aemond, Aegon and Helaena.

[@jamesjameson7384]

The only difference between the greens and the blacks is that Alicents kids are more unhinged than Rhaenyra's, so they get more screen time. Alicents kids are more interesting to watch than Rhaenyra's, but I can't really say the same for the rest of the characters. Otto and Alicent just aren't very important characters anymore, they won't do very much for the rest of the show.

Making Aegon finally step up and finally try adds another layer of tragedy on top of everything else in the Dance.

I think It's a really thoughtful extension of his awful behavior before being crowned king. My reading is this: He's always been a profoundly unserious person, while also needing validation from his family (which he never received). The crowds cheering him at the coronation (and all the perks of power) are giving him an outlet that probably makes him happier, but there's no hiding his lack of seriousness. The death of his son is going to change his attitude in an even more severe way.

The way everyone did a rat check

[@goosefight]

making him trying to be better and likable - even if not to his family then at least to the smallfolk and also to the audience in general - is such a great narrative move. it makes the whole Blacks vs Greens things all the more nuanced, there is no singular evil in the two factions. and also... SPOILERS FROM BOOKS ...because we know when Rhaenerys _does_ at one point manage to win against the Greens and take back Kings Landing, establishing herself as queen. but by then the smallfolk love Aegon and Heleana, and as...events transpire, Rhaenerys loses Kings Landing not because of the Greens (directly) but because the smallfolk rise up against her and even manage to kill some of the dragons. i can already imagine how, in the show, perhaps Rhaenerys will _try_ to handle things in the way a good monarch ought to, but complications and consequences happen (and having a wild card for a husband probably doesn't help), and her having been away in Dragonstone for the better part of her adult life means the smallfolk don't see her the same way as Aegon putting on a show of a magnanimous king. so this whole...PR spin that the Greens are inadverdently doing even as Otto side-eyes Aegon for his impracticalities just makes me really excited for how the narrative will continue to transpire.

[@reachinghigher4259]

In defense of the dragons, it wasn't entirely the smallfolk who killed them. If the dragons hadn't been chained in an underground pit - literally the opposite of where they should have been - there wouldn't have been a massive stone roof overhead for one of them to crash into and bring the whole thing down to crush them.

Haleane really is the Human Spoiler Alert 😂.

[@affyyy123]

What does Haelena whisper at 0:06 ???

[@Lionstar16]

"They only want the boy" - she's foreseeing the murder of her son

[@Morfe02]

How to make the scene better : Heleana makes the ratcatcher to be fired by some reason of his words In other scene similar to the ending of this video she starts crying Now that fix the ending of the episode where she has no emotion is shock without shock 😂

what helaena was whispering at first ?

[@SweetSweetCosette]

By 'the rats' did she mean Blood and Cheese?

You know, if you spoke morel clearly without any ambiguity, people might take you more seriously.

In the TV show, they made Elena more weird than the books

[@nicksmithnutmilk]

She's a normal 19 year old girl in the books

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

I don't think she has much of a role in the books just a background character?

[@cerseilannister7382]

​@@Nicholas_Chen_In the book all king's landing love her, she is kind and has a dragon Dreamfyre. Sad they gonna remove the relationship with her Dragon 😢

[@theblackpearlofbraavos]

And more conventionally attractive. Book Helaena was described as heavy and not being as strikingly beautiful as Targs go. But she was sweet and kind and the smallfolk adored her

what's with that one maid with peculiar eyebrows ?

I don’t think Aegon was a good father to his children (l don’t blame him Because how Viserys and Alicent peer pressured him and I know he is trying his best to make it up to them now when Viserys never treated him with an ounce of affection. Even though he may have left all parenting to Heleana.. I feel bad for her when she falls into grievances and madness)

Alicent is queen mother. Helaena is the queen since she is married to the king.

I can appreciate that these things get rather confusing in this family.
