She wrote two of the weakest episodes of House of the Dragon so far. And it seems she's to thank for some of the...let's say, controversies...of ep 9.

One particular subreddit is going all ham on her lol >_>

Fan communities are a plague.

Recursive feedback loop of toxic bullshit. At least when stuff sucked in the past, we sucked it up and acknowledged that it sucked. We didn't feel the need to go out of our way to attack people who worked on the fucking thing.

I dunno, I feel fandoms have always been like this. It's just that social media made it worse (as usual).

How the dragonpit coronation was handled

Specifically the scene Rhaenys on her dragon erupting out and wiping out a ton of peasants.

Also I think some people found the foot fetish scene weird, but I don't see that being the main target of everyone's anger.

It's an understatement to say that nerds don't know how to criticize things, even awful things that deserve to be criticized, and incestual social feedback greatly amplifies this.

When asked about the dead civilians, she said "It's Game of Thrones, civilians don't count!" which also made people wary. That's understandable tho since how war effects the common folk is a major them of ASoIaF so that's really missing the point.

When sir Arthur Conan Doyle decided to kill Sherlock holmes he got several death threats and his own mother turned against him

And this was before internet so his fans had to hand write their death threats and send them through the mail

Fandom has always been awful

Yep. It's widely accepted that the Star Wars community is toxic shit. I was thinking further back than that. 20 years ago wasn't that long ago.

Yeah, especially in the Dance of the Dragons. There's a lot worse treatment of the commoners to come though they only put up with it for so long before they fight back.

I agree. Most monarchs feel they're above common people. And Targaryens ESPECIALLY feel that way with the doctrine of Targaryen exceptionalism allowing them to marry their siblings.

r/freefolk is the worst. they are incapable of moving on thus see everything in the worst light possible/overreact.

Also they don't spoiler tag their shit and they are big enough to make it to the front page of reddit spoiling everyone with book stuff

I've only watched the first episode so far, but I just finished reading Fire and Blood. How far into The Dance of the Dragons do they even get in this first season? We at least get to King Viserys's death I am assuming

Oh nice, seems like they are going fairly slow then, which is good, each character could use a lot more fleshing out.

This week is the finale and it looks like it will have (Major spoilers if you haven't read the book) Luke's death by Aemond.

It's one thing to say civilians don't count from the perspective of the characters. It's another when it's the perspective of the writers themselves. The writer called it "heroic" when the visuals say otherwise. >_>

That should be a great scene, and just a taste of what else is going to come, there are way better scenes throughout the book that I was thinking "Damn, this could be amazing on the TV show"

Yes , its the opposite of how GRRM would write. He shows the suffering of the people in a negative light, and wouldnt treat this moment as a good thing for Rhaenys. It seems the writer cares more for the nobles then the commoners, when GRRM would do the opposite.

I didnt hate the episode and thought it was good enough but its forsure the weakest episode 9 in the franchise (GOT S1-6). Thats the only part that sucks, the rest has been so good I was hoping for an amazing episode 9.
