House of The Dragon Made It Impossible to Support "Team Green"

House of the Dragon, the prequel of sorts to Game of Thrones, really wants you to pick a side. All must choose! Will you support Queen Rhaenyra, firstborn named heir to King Viserys? Or this other guy who watches babies kill each other for fun, also he’s a drunk and a rapist. Wow, what a choice. Through some book tweaks and show choices that were, well, A REAL CHOICE, I’m talking about you, Larys Strong and the foot…enthusiasm, I’m going to break down why House of the Dragon made it really hard if not totally impossible for any normal person not trolling to support Team Green. Because while one side has one guy with really cool vibes, the other side literally has everything else going for it.

Wait till Team Black commits some atrocities of their own this season. This video won’t age too well 😭

[@BloodDjimon614]

*justified atrocities

[@senister14]

​@BloodDjimon614 guess we know you're pro choice then.

[@hunterhorsehelmsley7315]

​@@BloodDjimon614There's no such thing as a justified atrocity. Murdering an innocent baby is still evil

[@MaMvidS45]

This video will not age well, even past the first episode of the new season.

[@jedjensen7974]

Yeah, for as much as this show made it impossible for most to root for the team green it will take only one scene from the next episode to do the same for team black.

[@ilphi08]

Even Blood and Cheese would not change much As horrible as it was, it was Aemond that started it, it was merely payback Aemond would go onto more killing sprees on Vhagar Aegon would feed his sister to his dragon Sunfyre and hold his nephew as hostage Helaena would go insane and kills herself Ulf and Hugh would betray the blacks and commit atrocities as the greens

We gonna forget the assassination of one of Helaena's baby children right in front her while she was forced to choose which one would die? It's gonna get dark real quick.

Green Black nah team small folk these royals have it COMING

[@Timquan.]

It was impossible for me to support Team Black after Rheanyra recklessly had 3 bastard sons due to marrying someone she didnt want to, like every other woman in Westeros, dsepite actually being given more than enough time to find and CHOOSE her own husband before she snuck out the castle with Daemon and seduced Criston. It was the fact that she still had the nerve to believe the throne would fall into her lap after all of that, that lost me. Alison on the other hand who is truly binded by the patriarchy and laws of the land actually adhere's to her responsibilities as a person of power. Otto while seemingly snakish is just a smart Westerosi man doing his job to the best of his abilities while making sure he wasnt in a position to be killed. Daemon always hated Otto and would have tried to kill him if he ever was in power. Also Rheanyra proved Otto correct as she was the first of her and Alicent to wish or suggest harm onto the other's children, this happened when Rheanyra suggested that Aemond be tortured after already being jumped by her and Daemon's kids as well as Luke cutting out his eye. And dont even get me started on the miscarriage of law and justice that happened with Vaemond. The Blacks as well as Viserys through their actions, lies, and selfishness have largely destablized Targaryen unity during this period in Westeros. The Greens have a much better collection of rulers (minus Aegon of course) and the moral highground via Alicent and Aemond.

@@it921 Proof that you doesn't know how to read. He literally said "Alison on the other hand who is truly binded by the patriarchy and laws of the land actually adhere's to her responsibilities as a person of power" so how does your statement is correct knowing that he praised Rhaenyra's counterpart ? He just stating that Team Green is much more consciousness of the real and power than Team Black who act more selfish.

[@No_Relation_666]

@@it921well does said dude intend to put his bastards on the throne? No? Not relevant is it? And yes putting bastards on the throne is worse than anything aegon does because destabilising a whole country is not worth your warped view of what’s fair

[@alexpolowick2445]

Rheanyra's childrens don't affect her claim to the throne, it is still rightfully hers. It can be argued that it should pass to Aegon or her first son with Daemon instead of Jacerys, but it doesn't affect her claim whatsoever. Many princes have bastard children and it never affects their right to the throne, it wouldn't for a princess either.

[@AnandaRigobello]

Team Green

[@Drpavel564]

Also rhaenrya dies Daemon dies Aemond dies Helaena and her kids die Daeron dies Otto dies Alicent goes crazy and outlives them all and then dies Aegon dies Rhaenyras son takes the throne, is depressed then dies young. His brother gets murdered by his own son and another massive conflict begins.

Spoiler..... Team green wins the war, but team black wins the throne

[@Thejericko17]

Have you read the books? Team Green loses ALL of its armies. All of them. Meanwhile, the Black armies slow march to King's Landings 🤣😂. The Greens lose the war and the throne.

[@christiejana1392]

​@@Thejericko17The idea that of male primogeniture is solidified and becomes precedent that was what Team Green was fighting for. Meaning they won war as there was no Targeryan queen after Rhaenyra. The Blacks won the Throne because Rhaenyras blood sits it and continues the Targeryan dynasty.

[@davidswift3115]

So Raynera is aware of the dream because her dad told her…and on his death bed he told Alisant that because of said dream Aegon had to be king… Seems like if Raynera and alisant got together and alieant told Raynera about the dream, fire and ice etc. they prob could have sorted it out better…

[@natzbarney4504]

Beyond the promo which allows the audience to have fun, supporting a camp is not the point of this story. It's a tragedy about a family tearing itself apart and destroying the kingdom at the same time. It is the war itself that is the true antagonism of the story and those who try to prevent it who are worth supporting.

[@Baker6992000]

Every character in this series is impossible to like .. team green!

That’s a nice hat

[@jonirischx8925]

Rheynera's kids are illegitimate. Nothing else is of any relevance, unless you're watching it through modern girlboss lenses, which is not how medieval feudal societies work. It doesn't matter if the greens are bad people. The laws of that fictional universe are on their side. Are those laws unjust by modern standards? Sure, so is feudalism. You're not complaining about the institution of the monarchy while watching the show. So don't complain about divine right of kings or royal lineage either. The greens are right, according to their westerosi laws and traditions.

[@anasosa2969]

Not really. The point GRRM was trying to convey is that this civil war destroyed the family. Sure the bloodline for team black continued. But (show wise) look how that turned out for house Targaryen. Basically non-existent now.

[@Thejericko17]

@@anasosa2969 my point stands. Team Black wins and House Targaryen endures for a solid ~150 years until the Mad King. Their stupidity and fear makes the Targaryen's lose their dragons sure but that doesnt change the fact that Team Black wins.
