Your post about Alicent being in the center of the poster confused me. Why would Rhaenyra and Daemon be the protagonists? The main focus of the series is the Dance of Dragons. And what does it matter if Alicent is in the center? Girl, it's just a poster! There's no need to exaggerate and say it disgusts you.
Um... already, the post you are referring to is dated.
Then, even if the story is about the dance of dragons, well there are inevitably main characters, and an arrangement of the narrative roles of the characters.
There's no point pretending that wasn't the case to justify the fact that the Alicent actress is often at the center of the posters. If we follow your logic, there shouldn't even be a person highlighted in the center !
Blacks are generally the protagonists, and Greens are the antagonists.
The overall main character of this story in Fire and Blood is Rhaenyra, with at the limit Daemon as the second main character alongside her. It's just plain facts.
And if a character / actor should be at the center of the posters representing the show / dedicated to advertising it, it is the actress of Rhaenyra / Emma D'Arcy who should therefore be at the center.
It’s easy to understand, isn’t it ? Have you ever seen what basic marketing looks like for a show or something ?
Even when looking for actors for HOTD, Emma D'Arcy is not the first proposed ! Milly Alcock appears in his place for the role of Rhaenyra, while she was and will only be the actress in the first 5 episodes, unlike Emma D'Arcy, who takes over the role of Rhaenyra for the rest of the show, and who was chosen first ! Milly having been chosen in order to correspond most to Emma D'Arcy young version.
Emma D'Arcy has this tendency to be quite erased from the marketing of the show and it's shameful.
Just like there's this trend of putting the Alicent actress at the center of posters when she's not the main protagonist, unlike Emma, and I guess it's a matter of thinking she's more of a classic beauty than Emma. Either that or this is yet another sign that those in charge of HOTD are in favor of Team Greens. Or both.
And why do you always advocate non-reflection like that ? I'm not even the only one to criticize this aspect of the HOTD marketing. You want to settle for the minimum in terms of reflection ? Well, that's your business, so leave me alone.
Is this the latest thing ?
Pretending there are no main characters / protagonists in HOTD and Fire and Blood to justify Alicent / Olivia Cooke being the focus of the posters ?
Even if by this logic of non-main characters, no one should be highlighted in the center in this case ?
Seriously, you have to stop the bullshit after a while.
Especially since it's been a while since I talked about it and I've made very few posts about it.
But yes, Emma D'Arcy subtly sidelined in certain aspects of the marketing of HOTD, or not in mind when we are entitled to the list of actors of HOTD to instead find Milly, yes, that annoys me and disgust me.

Isn't it possible to have such stupid people ?
Already, the focus of my post was Emma D'Arcy / Rhaenyra not Matt Smith / Daemon, even though I named him :
Next, Matt Smith has tons and tons of fans. He is a great actor that most people adore with enormous charisma. What problems would there be with having him headlining ? None. Many movies and show have proven this. His comment makes no sense. This is just gratuitous hatred.
Then finally, beauty is something suggestive.
And I think, like many, that Emma D'Arcy is magnificent and deserves to have his rightful place as the main character of this story.
It's simply shameful that Olivia Cooke is highlighted more than Emma, or even Milly Alcock in the casting list, who is no longer even part of HOTD and only played Rhaenyra for 5 episodes and wasn't even the first cast for Rhaenyra, as younger actresses were cast to match Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke.
Fuck this kind of person.
