Of course they'd cut such a scene. Because it makes us see the tragedy of Alicent's fate and Rhaenyra's willingness to try and free Alicent from her betrothal to Viserys.
This show cuts scenes that flesh out characters, or that makes us empathize with both the antagonist and protagonist.
Since a lot of leaks regarding season 2 have been coming out, these are some of the ones I liked or would like to see adapted on the show based on what I've read mostly on Tumblr and Reddit:
1. Rhaenyra flying on dragonback to Shipbreaker's bay to find what remains of Luke and Arrax and basically her mourning. Emma Darcy is very good at portraying emotions of grief and loss so it'll make for a good scene as well as show Rhaenyra's determination going forwards.
2. Aemond may have one scene talking with Vhagar about what he's done and the consequences going forwards. Now this is really speculation and probably based on one of the fanarts going around which was very very beautiful but I would love to see this.
3. Alicent and Helaena share a moment before Aemond's arrival where Helaena tells her she's pregnant. We don't really know if Maelor already exists currently and I don't know how her being pregnant would fit with the book timeline and the Bitterbridge incident later on but it'll be nice nonetheless to see any scenes of Helaena at this point before B & C
4. Corlys and Rhaenys' involvement with their grand daughters. Exploring their relationship, their concerns regarding the future and their involvement in the war. Rhaena and Baela helping out and basically just contributing towards their cause and just more scenes of the Velaryons in general.
5. Jaehaerys' funeral scene. Alicent giving a speech but getting too choked up and Criston vowing he'll be avenged.
6. Alys Rivers roasting the fuck out of Daemon. Now this is primarily based on the casting video of Emily Beecham but I read somewhere they'll have another version of this. Cannot wait to see Gayle Rankin as Alys and the vibe she brings because Alys is quite a mysterious character with questionable motivations in the book and I want to see how the showrunners are going to translate that from paper to screen.
7. Daeron. I would like to see him introduced in Oldtown preferably and him flying Tessarion to light the Hightower green declaring war, as per one leak or even introduced in king's landing and his estranged relationship with the rest of his family. Anything works at this point.
8. Sara snow. Does she exist? Or was she just a made up character to distract from Cregan and Jace's relationship. I'm happy to see it play out either way.
9. The Dragonseeds. There's a picture going around which looks like the Red sowing featuring actors who are probably playing High Hammer, a genderbent Ulf the white and Nettles. There are pictures of Alyn Velaryon maybe? on the beach of Dragonstone so that whole arc is intriguing.
10. Larys strong. A deeper dive into a hint of his motivations, helping the greens, his underhand rivalry with Mysaria. Is it going to impact B & C ? How does he go about in the aftermath, his reaction to Daemon taking Harrenhal, involvement in the small council etc etc.
so i think a promotional sneak peak from season 3 accidentally got posted early? i opened instagram and this was posted to the rotten tomatoes account with the wrong caption
im literally gonna vomit oh my god crosshair and omega 😭💖
"The first War Thunder classified document leaks were separated by six months, then three months, and then a month and a half. The last two were separated by twelve days. At this rate, soon we will see a double event."
What was that about Chinese companies not being able to get anything through the censorship?
Aside from ditching their allies to be together, adopting kids together, getting imprisoned and tortured for it and still fighting to be together again, they have matching splash arts AND two hearts in their stained glass art.
The only way they could be any more obvious would be if they, idk, got called soulmates or sang about kissing each other or something... Oh wait.
The first reviews for episodes 1-8 have dropped! It sounds like it’s going to be AMAZING, if not one of the best animated series (found on Reddit and Twitter)
