Maegor “f around and find out” Targaryen

[weroleoify]

Maegor: "keep fucking around"
Faith Militant: "and what?"

[cincrap]

And then Cersei rearmed the Faith just so she could have Margeaery arrested cuz she had beef with her 💀

[damageddude]

And Cercei just went like "propably a good idea to let the faith have an army again lol".

[exprmnt]

He wasn’t the king they WANTED but the king they NEEDED

[Talvi_Sota]

Bro really said "I asked you nicely. Im not gonna ask again"

[davidspooner]

The man was a true Dragon in human form. You can call him cruel, you can call him kin slayer but you can never call him weak

[TrueYellowDart]

I like how GRRM even made a pretty rotten person like Maegor into a three-dimensional character. He did a lot of awful things, but the stuff with the faith militant was necessary (to maintain Targaryen rule, at least, and whether that’s a good or bad thing can be argued).

If he hadn’t tortured various people later on and murdered all the Red Keep builders (and some other stuff I can’t recall) then he’d probably fare better in modern Westerosi opinions.

In the end Maegor weaken the Faith and Poor Fellow enough that when King Jaehaerys I ascended to the Iron Throne, he was able to disarm the Faith and Poor Fellows without lifting a sword or go to war. 🔥🔥🔥

[AllThoughtsActual]

Bro needs his own show at this point, I gotta see Balerion at his best, the Seven v Seven, Visenya, and Maegor just being a straight menace.

[theusernameicoodfind]

Maegor really said “if you can’t join them, beat them” 😂

[loliver]

The more I read about Aenys, the less I think he was a bad king and more a king crowned at the wrong time. His father was a conquerer who was feared and respected across the realm, but when he died, there was no set standard for the Targaryen rule. All anyone could do was compare Aenys to Aegon, even though they were very different people. Aenys was a scholar and alchemist who cared for his family. His mother died as a result of his father's war, which is probably why he strived to avoid it at all costs. He also wanted to respect the Faith because of their role in society, but he still wanted to uphold the traditions of the Targaryen dynasty. He was trapped from all sides, never able to please anyone with his actions. Maegor ruled by fear, which held off the faith but turned everyone else against him. Balance is key.

[justindykes]

History doesn’t remember him fondly but tbh a book about him and his perspective would slap so hard

[Savagery]

Maegor the Cruel is one of the reasons why i would read Fire and Blood again. All the main character are nothing short of awesome.

[onceafetus]

Maegor might have been a psychopath, but at least he actually got shit done. He did what his brother was too afraid to do. Also after watching S5/S6 of GOT, whose complaining? The Faith are a bunch of assholes, burning their Sept was justified.

[zeakatep]

Finally someone said it yes he was cruel but after aneays it was needed

[thabanitrevor]

Damn HBO could milk this book series for years, theres so many great stories like these in the books

[achikoputuridze]

one of the reasons jaehaerys was that successful was because too many remembered maegor and destruction dragons could cause
shame they forgot it during dance

[nandhinishree]

Yes exactly my thoughts... I really wish house Targaryen recognise the deeds of visenya and maegor... By saving house Targaryen from the threats of hightower and faith... Sadly house Targaryen were too weak to acknowledge them...

[Baileaf]

Maegor is like Ivan the Terrible, yes he did horrific stuff but he was an efficient ruler
