I need to shut up about HOTD criticisms for a moment but its genuinely baffling how the showrunners were able to simultaneously write the green children as the most unambiguously evil characters, and the black children as holier-than-thou, buckets of endless joy - but at the same time make the latter the most unbelievably boring, one-dimensional characters, with absolutely no defining characteristics or ambitions.

RIP to Condal and co. but if i was writing a fantasy political soap i would at least take the time to give an inch of depth + nuance to the main cast.
