no bc i couldn't figure out how to put what i was thinking about everyone dogging on season 2 into words, but this is exactly it

Hot take: I think it's genuinely funny that people are upset about season 2.

Like you're upset that we didn't see Rhaena tame Sheepstealer? That's kind of the point. She's supposed to be exactly the same as Sheepstealer, wild and desperate, and we needed to see how she became on equal footing as the dragon she's meant to tame. You didn't like Daemon at Harrenhal, but his journey was paramount to his character arc. He had to get a bit haunted along the way, but you said that that wasn't your Daemon. Uh, yeah, that was kind of the point.

I feel like this is an instant gratification issue. Disastisfied fans want the ending as soon as possible instead of enjoying excellent storytelling.

And let me tell you, House of the Dragon is excellent storytelling.

Season 2 wasn't bad. You're just impatient.

No bc this would've made everything SO much more interesting

what if instead of being under the impression that Darth Vader killed his father someone told Luke that Vader killed his mother and then Luke hit him w that accusation in the middle of their confrontation and Vader just started crying
