House of the Dragon
word of advice ! SPOILERS ahead for House of the Dragon season 2 finale , " The poove Who Ever Was . "
Summary
House of the Dragondirector Geeta Vasant Patel address how theseason 2 coda , " The world-beater Who Ever Was,“ends for Rhaenyra Targaryen ( Emma D’Arcy ) and Alicent Hightower ( Olivia Cooke ) . The last sees Alicent out of the blue coming to Dragonstone to speak with Rhaenyra , urgently seek a way to peacefully end the warfare before it escalates further . Earlier in season 2 , Rhaenyra went to King ’s Landing to talk with Alicent , part to see if a peaceable settlement was possible .
The ending of the montage , I pass month thinking about the visuals of how to end this episode and terminate this time of year . That fare to me just in terms of how they both were feel in the oddment . One of them was snare — and as Ryan says is now carrying the encumbrance — and that would be Rhaenyra . The other one has lifted the gist off of her own shoulders and is now devoid having given it to Rhaenyra . Visually my persuasion was : Rhaenyra is catch in a web and Alicent is barren .

Power Can Be A Prison
Rhaenyra is alternatively leap to conduce the Blacks into a war that will only become more destructive inHouse of the Dragonseason 3 and that isunlikely to end well for Rhaenyra , those she loves , or Westeros itself .
Even though Rhaenyra endsHouse of the Dragonseason 2 in a far more sinewy position than Alicent does , Alicent terminate with more exemption . Rhaenyra is one ofthe Blacks ' seven dragonridersfighting for her claim to the Iron Throne and now has the armies of the Riverlands and the North behind her . Meanwhile , Alicent has little influence over the natural action of her son , Aemond Targaryen , and how the Greens govern and proceed with the warfare effort . Rhaenyra and Alicent ’s might has shifted from earlier in time of year 2when Rhaenyra desperately appealed to Alicent for peace , only to be rebuff .

Alicent made error and later tried to abye for them by coming to a passive resolution , but it is too late now . She is now powerless in many ways , but the core of influence the destiny of Westeros and the many lives acrossits Seven Kingdomsis no longer in her hand . Rhaenyra , on the other hand , is trapped in moving forwardwith her seeking to take the Iron Throne as she and the growing forces who have pledged themselves to her dip headlong into war .
Now , Rhaenyra is more powerful than Alicent ever was , even compared to when Alicent rule the Seven Kingdoms , when Viserys Targaryen ( Paddy Considine ) was too ill to do so . Nevertheless , Alicent ’s impotence and the realisation that she can not change anything give her a surprising signified of newfound exemption . Rhaenyra is rather bound to go the Blacks into a war that will only become more destructive inHouse of the Dragonseason 3 and that isunlikely to end well for Rhaenyra , those she loves , or Westeros itself .
