[@frankyfraaank]

I would only disagree with your statement that Viserys' and Alicent's marriage has no love. We can see this demonstrated through their actions. Alicent personally provides tender care for Viserys' conditions for many many years. Viserys listens to Alicent, trusts her counsel, and affords her a lot of power. He also clearly enjoys her company, and she is supportive of his Warhammer obsession. She even fixes one of his dragons.

[@B463L]

They 100% love each other but they're not *in love* at all.

[@TheUndyingCrystal]

I think it was a complicated thing. Alicent cared about him clearly. But knew he was making every wrong decision possible and refusing to acknowledge the inevitable. Even with all the mistakes made by both sides, I don't think she could bear to hate him as he deteriorated into a corpse of a man, barely hanging on as he tried to bring everyone together.

[@BobPantsSpongeSquare97]

In F&B you get the perception that Viserys is just a people pleasing oaf who doesnt notice any of the friction going on and doesnt take anything that seriously. And so I like how show Viserys is more nuanced. At his core he does want everyone to get along and is wise but his problem being nobody takes him seriously because he is too forgiving and is not assertive. He can command that people act a certain way but they ultimately keep doing what they're doing

There's the added layer of nuance that he's never functioning at 100% after Aemma's death, because he's either deeply depressed from grief, or he's in more or less constant pain from his mystery degenerative illness for the rest of his life. Chronic pain doesn't tend to leave a person with enough energy or mental clarity to rule well.

Viserys was one of the best changes in HotD alongside the new Alicent and Rhaenyra dynamic

[@bigj1905]

I love Viserys is the perfect embodiment of how “It is hard for a good man to be a good king.” Viserys didn’t have grand ambitious visions or dreams of power, he just wanted to have a happy and united family, a peaceful life, and for everyone to get along. So he refused to accept his family tearing itself apart. Had he been a small lord from a small house, he probably would’ve been remembered as a fair, honest, and good lord. Instead, history will remember him as a naive fool who let his kingdom tear itself apart.

[@Varrock45]

One thing the show got right was Viserys’ love for big fun events. The heir’s tourney, the Royal Hunt, and Royal Wedding are good examples. Viserys would have been an excellent Master of Ceremonies if he were a real person in our world today.

[@keetenwiggins7802]

Show Viserys is definitely the star of the first season. When he banished Daemon for the first time (for context he weilded blackfyre the family sword from Aegon the conqueror time) he changed his hand grip from holding it in a kinda like a walking stick to a grip of dueling in the first episode. He was prepared at that moment to fight daemon with his kingsguard. Obviously pushed to the limit Viserys can make his point clear

How the most compelling and emotional scene between both Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon is unironically "old man sits on chair" is nothing short of amazing

[@RmsOceanic]

The most interesting weakness in the Black claim to the throne is neither Rhaenyra or Viserys - book or show, take your pick - ever put much effort to bringing the nobility around to Rhaenyra's claim. Both seemed to take the grand ceremony as settled, when in reality even petty nobles have deeply entrenched ideas of what a ruler needs to be, and even with dragons behind you need to be won. The blacks never bothered with this, to their cost. Nothing more demonstrates this than sending a scroll to Lord Baratheon, and he can't read. An heir who is sensitive to the individual power of lords would not have overlooked such a crucial fact, and maybe gone hunting with him and stabbed a boar in front of him or something. Or maybe Viserys just didn't want to handle all the aggro by making sure their allegiance to Rhaenyra was personal rather than feudal.

[@laurelsilberman5705]

“The two reconcile…until he’s banished once again.” Season one in a nutshell😂

[@mollydaughterofduck1484]

Was I the only one who thought Viserys was saying that Aegon, the younger, son of Rhaenyra & Daemon, was the Prince-who-was-Promised, (ie, 'skip over your bastards, daughter, and name your eldest trueborn son as heir') as he was dying?

[@jameshutchinson3672]

I think the dramatic narrative of the adapted Fire and Blood which we see in HOTD is more effective. The writers of that show have made tremendously smart decisions to deepen the characters and sharpen the conflicts between them. Their entire repositioning of Viserys as an ultimately tragic character decaying before our eyes actually gave him an arc that will always affect the show hereafter. I still rewatch that scene from season 1 where he refuses the 7 Kingdom’s equivalent of Oxycodone and limps fullbore into the throneroom clean after such a long absence to painfully assert his authority. Such great writing and dramaturgy. Paddy should’ve gotten an Emmy. Hell, an Oscar.

[@eldara3]

I never understand why people call it sacrificing... Viserys had two choices during that cesarian scene in the series: either his wife and kid both die, or his wife dies and his child has a chance to live. By that point, Aemma was already dead either way. TBF, it was still quite fucked up to not present the option to her, but let her be essentially tortured without letting her know what was going on. Now, getting her pregnant at *twelve* , when people even in that world know perfectly well that getting a girl pregnant too early is dangerous and leads to future fertility issues, and forcing her through like a dozen pregnancies during about as many years... *that* is fucked up, and was very much done by the guy in the books.

[@MommalaHarris]

​@@eldara3I've always felt the same way. Even the name of the track playing was An Impossible Choice. His duty as king was to the realm above all others, and there was the smallest chance that Aemma would finally have an heir. Like you said she was going to die no matter what and he definitely should have tried to talk with her, but it was basically the only option he could take. People bring up Daemon not choosing it for Laena, but he was heir to nothing and didn't have the stability of the realm to worry about

GRRM has... issues relating to this, considering just how many Targaryens that this is also true for (You also have Jaehaerys forcing more kids on Alysanne when she clearly protests, which kills her, which is basically the same problem in the opposite direction). I think he has some fairly bad misunderstandings of how the world worked in history, because people *were* aware of this. Young marriages were never intended to be consummated until the bride was old enough. You can even see looking at the age of various royal mothers in those eras of history; the average age of their firstborn isn't 14, or even 16. It's *20*.

Paddy was fully availed of the unique opportunity this show represented. Being able to interpret in such a broad sense was hopefully deeply fufilling for him.

[@theguywhitacringename]

Jokes aside, seeing a character from a book that is FAR better in a show adaptation is something that you don't see every day, and yes viserys in both book and show are FAR from being the best king (especially book viserys) but you gotta admit that they are also far from being the worst king, just look at joffrey, Robert, aegon IV and tommen, he may be indecisive in some cases but he doesn't neglect his kingdom and duties
