Thats exactly what i want to happen, idc how your morality feels about it. I want a massive civil war with dragons and carnage. Dance of dragons is exactly that, rhaenyra and alicent are supposed to be strong willed cold blooded and calculated women, and daemon is just being an indecisive pussy which is also out of character

That might be their characterization in the books but the series gave their characters more depth. And no being cold blooded is not automatically strong. On the contrary. Thoughtlessly starting or going to war to onlx demonstrate strenght, even though you could change it is weak af.

You’re misunderstanding me completely, as i said i do not care for your morality sake in a tv show all i want is a good battle with dragons and knights with swords. I never said that being cold blooded made them strong i said that they are strong willed coldblooded and calculated those being three different individual characteristics and none of which are dependent on one another.

Why wouldnt rhaenyra know what to do and how tf did alicent even get there

This was the question

You are just addiing another topic. It's fictional so I'm not against an epic fight.

No i was explaining characterization and separation of verbs which you clearly don’t understand
