How Alicent’s Decisions Led to a Massive Reality Check in “House of the Dragon"
Alicent, the Green Queen in the epic series, House Of The Dragon - you gotta wonder: did she actually play a big role in the whole Dance of the Dragons? And if you watch the last episode of Season 2, well, she's not in such a great place.
What's Going On With Alicent?
- Alicent, a character from "Game of Thrones"'s Game of Thrones prequel. She's going through a hard time and even more tragic than many "Game of Thrones" characters!
- Remember that time when Alicent had a close relationship with Rhaenyra Targaryen and things took a nasty turn when Viserys married Alicent. We've seen those conflicts with the children! Alicent became concerned that her children would always be at risk from Rhaenyra and those who support her. And the show makes us really think: it was more than just bad Game of Thrones politics!
- The "Green Queen" had this hunch - she thought Rhaenyra would be out to kill Aegon! That's right; those words coming from King Viserys after he was on his deathbed made a big mess.
- It was so crazy! Because she'd been talking with her son Aegon. Her kids were at the center of a huge Game of Thrones battle and a clash! Her kids were not only at risk because of the conflict with Rhaenyra's children but also from those supporting Rhaenyra's Iron Throne claim - and even Ser Criston Cole! It’s the story of two women trying to save their own children!
What Made Alicent Think It was Inevitable?
- Even though she was protecting her family from harm, her hunch actually set off a cycle. She made sure that her son would end up at the center of a power struggle. Even though Aegon never really wanted to be on the Iron Throne, he ended up becoming the symbol of those against Rhaenyra.
- And as soon as Ser Criston Cole placed Aegon on the throne - Alicent became a pawn in the huge power play. Those who supported Alicent's side called themselves the "Green Council" and stood up against Rhaenyra.
Is This the End For Alicent?
It's getting intense now - Season 3 of House of the Dragon will pick up this wild tale about how Alicent wants to be free of all the chaos. That's the wild thing - she's ready to walk away, no more wars, and just go with her daughter Helaena! We know she cared about those kids - and you have to wonder - could she even try to get away to some super remote spot - maybe somewhere no one can find her! You have to wonder what else the show is hiding for us with Alicent Hightower.
House of the Dragon is about to enter the Dance of the Dragons with a whole lot of intrigue! Now, we are wondering - how could these conflicts and tensions go any higher, and where will this battle lead Rhaenyra? We all know how brutal the Iron Throne struggle gets - but will things actually be even wilder? Fans can't wait to see what happens next.
