The spectacle being "ruined" by the ending is the whole point! That the Greens' attempts to invoke the Targs' trappings of power (the crown, the sword, high septons oils, Criston's white cloak, etc.) being undercut by the REAL power of House Targaryen, a dragon, is deliberate!

The Greens in my mentions whining that HOTD is anti-green need to reconcile that stance with the biggest change in the series being them aging Alicent down to be childhood friends with Rhaenyra and way more sympathetic because of that rather paint by numbers evil fantasy stepmom

One of the things I think many of GoTs actors/actresses really excel at is nonverbal acting. Clarke has definitely stepped her game up this season and this is perhaps the best example, especially that first, unsteady step at the end.

I love the dynamic House of the Dragon is going with: the Greens are being cast as way, way more sympathetic than they were in the books BUT, they're making it explicit that Rhaenyra was never disinherited.
It's a slight alteration both directions but show is better for both!

Waititi's direction in Ragnarok alone would merit giving him a SW movie. But his references to the Mandalorian Wars from KotOR, his use of humor, all of it in Mandalorian Finale means he really should get his own damn trilogy. That was legit one of my favorite SW viewings ever.

Davos calls Stannis a bitch to his face.
And Stannis listens.
“There’s much I don’t understand,” Davos admitted. “I know the seas & rivers, the shapes of the coasts, where the rocks & shoals lie. I know hidden coves where a boat can land unseen. And I know that a king protects his people, or he is no king at all.”
Stannis’s face darkened.

HotD involves competing claims which didn't really have precedent or clarity to really adjudicate who was in the right
Stannis vs. Renly involves Renly being a FUCK
Emmett's not wrong but reason you shouldn't have had to choose is because Renly shouldn't have made it an issue

You get the show is not the book, right? They've changed a ton of stuff. I mean, is there a bigger change than aging down Alicent to make her a childhood friend with Rhaenyra? Also makes her way more sympathetic too!

Also, Jon should have taken the deal.

Moqorro is either gonna be pivotal in Winds or he's getting burned three chapters in. Zero in-between.
The wizard was a monster of a man, as tall as Victarion himself and twice as wide, with a tangle of bone-white hair that grew about his face like a lion’s mane. His skin was black… Blacker than coal, blacker than jet, blacker than a raven’s wing. Burned, Victarion thought.

"Coin flip" is complete bullshit and is just an in-universe saying. But if y'all don't see the foreshadowing for what's coming w/Daenerys in Winds, it's because you don't want to.
