#why even name drop Greek mythology?? yall ain't becoming the next tragic poet let me tell you that

[thesilverlady]

I just love how Tgc has such insight when it comes to his character and tries to add depth as much as it's possible for Aegon even though the writers have made him a caricature atp.. unlike someone whose name start with EM gives the most idiotic interview about how his character is inspired from greek mythology when that mythology could fit the likes of book!Euron or bloodraven not Aemond of all the characters lmaao. Like that interview was 100% for his character's wives because where are the similarities beside both characters are one-eyed?

I think you're gonna hate me anon, so I'm sorry in advance but I wanna be honest. I'm not feeling whatever vision tgc has in his mind.

Don't get me wrong, I think I understand him; he basically wants to show some depth and a sympathetic side of his character and he struggles to work with what he's given.

But ultimately, Aegon isn't exactly sympathetic as a character in canon. The again, it's unfair to hold it against him because non of the show characters act like their book counterparts and I think 98% of the cast hasn't opened the book, let alone the wiki page.

it's just, from some interviews that I've watched against my will, it feels like certain actors want their characters to be mainly heroic or romantic. I won't drop names 'cause quite frankly I don't care enough for the cast to even argue but I'm just getting like they have their own vision of the characters they play and that vision doesn't even match the script, that's all

Now, for what you mentioned I saw a screenshot of the quote yesterday and went on a rant on my private twitter - mostly because I'm so pissed when westerns randomly name anything "Greek tragedy" and because that myth they mentioned was incorrect too (couldn't they check the damn sources first? 😭)

But in EM's defence, apparently Satan 1 and Satan 2 were the idiots who came up with the incorrect legend and tried to "parallel" it to Aemond. E was just repeating what they said.
