She didn't want to be a kinslayer. Only awful, depraved people choose to be a kinslayer. 😉

What surprised me is that, unlike the previous two flicks, virtually none of the victims were innocent. Pretty much every single one of them was an asshole who has it coming.

When packing up from GKL&H, if they they’d only had a somber shot of Jen leaving her office while playing the “Walking Away” music from “The Incredible Hulk” …

That’s goddamn perfect, actually. 😁

Yeah, but the way it was played was less “finding a justification” and more “legitimately thought she was being told what she should do". 

Dragons aren’t possessions that are inherited per se, but the kid had a right to at least try and bond with her mother’s dragon before Aemond stole that chance away.

Skeen’s unwillingness to cover Tamaryn — directly leading to his death — at first I thought it was meant to show that for all his hatred of the Empire, Skeen wasn’t automatically battle-hardened against them. The reveal just changed everything.

Point, but the only reason he lost that eyeball is because he stole someone else’s birthright, violently bullied them, then legitimately threatened to brain that person’s defenders with a rock.

One thing that they could try to lean into is that her newfound devotion to the Seven might make her more credulous, but I haven't seen that established.

“So did they not invent wheelchairs until Bran’s time or what? Poor Viserys.”

True. However, Aemond absolutely stole the opportunity away from her. (And considering that Rhaena was the daughter of Vhagar’s previous rider, odds were excellent they would have bonded.)

Aemond is still a thief.

“Reading the book I thought maybe they’d make him look like a dick by making that unprovoked comment after all the nice toasts, but when Luke laughed at him when they brought the pig I thought it was earned.”

I appreciate they are trying to make Alicent sympathetic by making her upcoming betrayal to be the result of a tragic misunderstanding, but it still smacks of bullshite.

Young Aemond strikes me as not a bullied kid, but someone desperately unhappy that he isn’t the one doing the bullying. The moment he takes Vhaegar he more than makes up for it, threatening the child whose birthright he robbed by telling her he’s going to feed her to the dragon he stole.

Never cared for the popular idea that Velma is a lesbian. It always struck me as sexist.

“She-Hulk” is “Ally McBeal” with superpowers.

Honorable mention:

Vader doesn't joke. He threatens with panache.

The understated threat worked. Dude probably upgraded from redoubled to retripled efforts after that motivational speech.

It’s the curt command of someone whose son just chose death over him.
