They said in season 1 that if Daemon was King, he would be 'second Maegor the Cruel'. (Maegor was third ruler of dynasty, son of Aegon I and his sociopathic wife Visenya 👩🏻🦳🗡🩸🔥🔥🔥 whom Rhaenyra for some unknown reasons admires 🙄, even if Aegons's second wife Rhaenys was fierce dragon-rider too, and was famous for having free-spirited and vivacious personality, being both ruthless and graceful 👩🏻🦳🎭🦅🕊 and she even rumored to have lovers and illegitimate son whom she passed as heir 👩🏻🦳+❓=👨🏻🦳👑, so Rhaenyra should rather looked upon her given thier similarities, than into cold Visenya. When Jacaerys says "I hope you don't mean to use HER as an example", he basically mean: "I hope you don't use as an example ruthless woman, who was dislkied by her own husband and ultimately she turned on her own dynasty and placed on the throne the most vicious, self-serving and hellbent on power monarch Westeros ever saw "😖😖😰😰. Rhaenyra, being ambitious yet kind-hearted and free-spirited is like Queen Rhaenys. But since episode 1 of season 1, when she declared she would name her sister "Visenya", she aspires to be woman who was no doubt powerful, but also treacherous, unnecessarily cruel, self-serving and dangerous which is... disturbing. Book Rhaenyra was much more ruthless by this point of the story and it makes sens in her case, but show Rhaenyra is truly good-natured person and I have real trouble to understand what exactly she sees in Visenya, who is very problematic idol, even for Targaryen queen 😓 ) It's certainly possible , Daemon is unstable dangerous man, but the one who CERTAINLY is Maegor the Cruel reborn is Aemond. Aemond is just ruthless as Maegor - and he is kinslayer just like him. Maegor killed two of his nephews, his two wives (and entire family of one of those wives), and give order to kill his stepdaughter, while Aemond killed his nephew, cousin (Rhaenys) and tried to kill Aegon. But Maegor ruled for YEARS, whereas Aemond is not even a King, yet he took two of his kins and tried to take his own brother in less than half-year. By proposing Rhaenyra as heir, Otto wanted save throne from ruler like Mageor, but now, thanks to Otto's own machinations new Maegor rules in King's Landing.

I wrote my first comment before I ended watching - and in my humble opinion Aemond is already worse. Daemon had many ambitions and felt mistreated by is brother - but he never tried to kill his brother, even when he was disinherited in favour of Rhaneyra. Daemon is mad about it - which is naturally - but thoughts are not acts, and even now with whole "You shoudl adress me as King", Daemon wants Rhaneyra to join him rather than remove her from picture. Aemond not only attempted kill Aegon - he left him burned. Aegon will be suffer for months. While Aegon was terrible brother, none desrves to be in state he is now.
