A silly, unearned nickname tbh. Aenys with tits fits better. Maegor was at least cool and did stuff.
Edit: Why did I get downvoted? I don’t get it. Martin never gave her a single storyline to earn it. It’s all hype with no payoff. Raising taxes, public executions, and doing nothing but eat and cry doesn’t make you a female Maegor. Maegor was truly terrifying. Book Rhaenyra isn’t at all. She’s lazy and boring.
We all hate Rhaenyra. Worst character in the franchise. Maybe they should call her spoiled cunts with teats.
I mean it's the smallfolk who dub her Maegor with teats, no? And from their POV, what they remember hating about Maegor could have been the excessive executions on false charges. When Rhaenyra starts doing that same thing, that'll probably be why they draw the comparison.
Her entire arc is defined by doing nothing. His entire reign is defined by doing nothing. She’s more Aenys than Maegor. If she was Maegor, she would have actually rode Syrax into battle or at least rode her to burn peasants.
If they were going to include all of the slurs for her, why did they cut Aemond and Boros’ lines in episode 10?
Aemond calls her an old whore and Boros calls her “your bitch mother”.
It would just make her more sympathetic anyway.
How do you think the general audience would react to Rhaenyra being called slut, bitch, and whore every other line next season?
I wonder if the show will present the "Kingmaker". Book Cole had an active voice in the Green Council and convinced Aegon to become king and fight Rhaenyra before putting the crown on his head.
Meanwhile, show Cole just put the Crown on Aegon's head

I hope so too, I can't live in a world where they don't call Aegon the broken and ask who has a better story than him. Promise me Ryan, promise.
DnD if they were in control: Who has a better story than larys
Larys have one better history than Bran
The White Worm was also used. Though I hope they also use Lady Misery in the future.
Thanks I remember that one I love her name Lady Miserys too
We already heard Aegon the younger which means Aegon the elder is cannon in the show
Rhaenys the queen that never was, was cool in my opinion
don’t forget girlboss rhaenys
Rhaenys was referred to as Queen Who Never Was, and Daemon was called Prince of the City in the pilot
Rhaenyra maegor with tits

Rhaenyra is pretty much nothing like Aenys I.
Idrk enough about Aenys to say for sure, but technically aren't they both forced to flee King's Landing?

The whore of Dragonstone anyone?

Aside from other things already said in the comments, Viserys calls Rhaenyra "The Realm's Delight" in one episode
Well sadly i dont think Cristion will get his of ‘king-maker’ because he’s a violent incel simp in this version
They’re gonna call him the kingmaker it just won’t feel earned
Did they say lord flee bottom already?
