UNPOPULAR OPINION: I like season 3 Rhaenyra

Every third post on this subreddit is about how people started hating Rhaenyra for being incompetent, emotional and violent, and how they are turning team green because of her.

But for me, this is the season I started to like her. In season 1 and 2 she seemed to me like a Mary Sue, everything bad that happened was never her fault, she was always perfect and misunderstood. Now she's actually experiencing consequences for her actions, and her reaction to the things around her is believable and well acted. For example, a lot of people criticise her for becoming more emotional and erratic, but how would you want her to be when she lost two sons? I assume some fans want her to be stoic in this situation but I think it's more realistic and makes for a better story that she's destroyed over the fact that her two oldest sons were murdered.

And it's not even just the deaths of her sons, she also was pretty much coerced by Daemon to kill Otto, this is traumatizing for normal people that weren't trained soldiers like Daemon, Corlys, Cole, Aemond and all the other warriors in the story are. Then there's also the general stress of ruling a kingdom with empty coffers and political instability.

I like the direction they take Rhaenyra, I find it believable and well acted, and I just think it's weird that in the season she's starting to become a real character she's getting the most hate.
