It's amazing how many female characters fall into one of these boxes — even protagonists

    How stuff like this bleeds into real life is also fuckin buckwild to me. Like the actresses who played skylar white and cersei Lannister being treated like shit by fans. I guess this is particularly the “bitch wife” archetype but still

        I remember there was an interview with her (and maybe footage of this happening but i may be misremembering) where she talks about how she’d be in a line with the other actors and actresses to sign people’s stuff and when they’d get to her they’d be like “not you!”

        I agree tho, her performance was really good as well.

          not even her performance, i maintain Cersei was not meaningfully worse than any of the other people fighting over the iron throne. she's even arguably better than most of them, shes competent as shit and you want someone competent in charge (if your trapped in a feudal fantasy world)
