It seems to me that a lot of people wanting absurdly the youngest looking Rhaenyra to portrait the adult version is obscured by that fact that they don't believe in Emma D'arcy, when clearly they already have given us a majestic Lord of the Rings Galadriel style for the pilot episode. I see NO ONE speaking that way of Olivia Cooke and Emily Carey. A lot of hidden prejudice to what the performer looks like in real life seems to be part of that too, you're kinda proving the concept of the young character been screaming about, that they need to be pretty(your type) and cookie shape cutted for you to like them. Also so what if the person is in real life is not an extrovert, a lot of introverted actors look fucking amazing when they put their energy into work. You gotta have faith on the casting process.
Bro people would’ve lost their minds if they casted someone who actually looked like older Rhaenyra in the books. She’s supposed to become fat and gluttonous after childbirth and the outbreak of war. Emma D’arcy especially with the targ hair is pretty and much better looking than older Rhaenyra should be.
Nah everyone is tired of the woke bs. If she can do well fine but every interview she wants to inject some woke shit about how she thinks rhaenyra is struggling with her gender or how hod is about women empowerment. It's not she needs to look at the books cause shes in for a shock.
@@RDMGAMER I'm confused.. is that not what Rhaenyra is inherently struggling with? The whole reason why there's a problem with her being on the throne and ruling the seven kingdoms is that she's a woman!! In a way, it is about woman empowerment because Rhaenyra disrespectfully doesn't give a fuck and wants to rule anyways regardless of what anyone else thinks. If Rhaenyra was not "woke" as you've said then there would be no story.
@@RDMGAMERfirst of all, this isn’t the book. The tv show is an entirely separate body of work. Second of all, women and how they are treated in Westeros is absolutely a main theme in HotD. Almost every single women in the show is passed over or treated unfairly because they are women. It’s literally the main conflict for the dance of dragons. So Emma bringing it up in interviews is fundamental when discussing the show. Nothing “woke” about it at all.
LOL.They're not going to be a couple. Interesting how they made them 'besties' in the beginning. They'll be fighting each other at the civil war, Olivia Cooke's character's Alicent as the figure of the Green Faction (as she wears the greens of the Hightower family) against Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy's character) as the lead figure for the Black faction (as she wear the Targaryen's black-red).
Someone tell these two that if they're characters had that much adoration for each other, they would not have killed each other and each other's children. the characters definitely hated each other.
I really hope they don't ruin this show with the usual woke hollywood garbage of this era. GOT was amazing because it wow'ed us with it's realistic portrayal of a midevil style world.
@@aengusog3415 My comment has almost nothing to do with this interview specifically. I think theyre both going to be great actors for the show.

@@KK-fi6ms Hotd videos are almost all I see on my feed, and I'm a huge fan of the books/show so I watch 99% of them. And this one happened to get one of my many comments. If I was fishing for likes it definitely wouldn't be on a video with under 1,000 views 😂 just an opinion of a huge fan of grrm.
@@user-df8lp9zq8s ooooh now I understand thank because yes rhaenyra is not that pretty compare to Alicent at all alicent super beautiful. So yes they went along with the book.
How is it the shows fault that this interviewer made this the headline?? 😆 What a weird thing to say. As if the entire story isn't about a fight between these 2 powerful Women, wtf??
@@KabbalahSherry My point is that the the actress thinks the show “is about women” whereas the book is not about that. It’s about an entire world. So I don’t want the show to focus on it being a whole feminist “girl power” thing instead of just telling the story the way it’s supposed to be.
my guy I hate to tell you this, but asoiaf book series and GOT as a whole has always been "woke". It's a book about a bunch of characters (freaks and geeks included) fighting against the status quo. I mean Danny is the literal embodiment of "woke" in the books and show and she's an amazing character. Having a show be about women is not "woke" you're just a misogynist lmao.
@@meatballmatt4374 No, the book is not “woke”. It’s well-told story that happens to have some strong characters, some of whom are women. That’s not the same as making it “about women” which it’s not. And no, Dany is not even close to woke. If it were woke, she would’ve had no challenges at all and all the men in the show would’ve been made dumb to make her seem so much better than all the men just by being a woman (see She-Hulk).
She looks better with the silver hair. And Daemon didn’t lie. Milly is pretty as young Rhaenyra and I don’t think Emma D’arcy is ugly. But Emma is actually prettier than older Rhaenyra in the book. In the book she becomes fat and semi-ugly after childbirth. A big plot point is her jealousy of Alicent who stays beautiful and skinny.
@@mooregh6501 I'm sure the pictures of her that's available isn't post-pregnancy. I never read the book but did it mention that the seven kingdoms all spoke with an English accent? I'm curious why a majority of the cast speak that way, having watched Milly in an interview and found out that she's Australian.
Actually in the books she is described as loosing some of her beauty as she gets older, child birth taking a toll and all that. She is beautiful tho and why do women have to look beautiful to play a lead role? Men never are expected to
The actresses are acting that way but they will be extremely disappointed if the show writers stick by the books, which they apparently tend on doing. The show is not about women at all.
@@housecodd7714 Two women, and their sons. And lots of men. It's still not about women . The actress who plays old rhaenyra is obviously obsessed with woke nonsense, she's acting as if this whole show is about women overcoming men or something.
@@Viktorreznov1942 the story is about a woman (named heir by the previous king) challenged by her half-brother, under the influence of his mother. You definitely did not read the book. The first title of the story was literally called 'the princess and the queen'. GRRM got his influence from the Anarchy, a time in England when the king's chosen heir, his daughter, was challenged by her male cousin, because she was a woman(that's really their reason) Read first before you speak.
@@johndinobuff583 "DiD nOt rEaD tHe BoOk" The show is not about women in general, as meant by the actress who plays adult Rhaenyra, she is clearly all about leftist agendas,(which is whatever, unless pushed into everything, like a fictional story) the way she means "its about women" is incorrect, it is about women who fight over succession, yes. But it is not about women. There's even another interview with Alicent and Rhaenyras actresses (I don't care about their real names) Where they explain the show in 3 words, they were "two bloody women" and "too many men" let that sink in, I'll say it again, I'm saying that the way they see how the show is about women is incorrect. I believe they haven't read the books, because one would think by theh way they act that they believe one of their characters end up on the throne, hopefully their disappointment when they see one ends up in a cell, and another in Sunfyres belly, is captured on film.
Great interview. Loved seeing the actors chemistry and passion for their roles. Just two more day until we get to see it all unfold!
I really like them interviewed together, they are enemies in the show but such a bestie irl

I didn't see the full interview, can anyone tell me are they gonna be couple or just best friends
Both 😍🤞🏻

They didn’t kill each other’s children you blithering fool. The blacks win the war daenerys is a direct descendant of Rhaenyras daughter
The deepest hatred comes from love bud. It hurts even more.

?? They described the show the same way the books are
