Fans react to Viserys Targaryen’s choice of bride in House of the Dragon episode 2

Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon has created a huge hype amongst fantasy lovers. The characters in George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood are always scheming and fighting to sit on the Iron Throne, and the latest development might disgust a lot of fans. In the second episode of House of The Dragon, under the growing pressure of taking a new bride after the death of his wife Aemma Arryn, King Viserys finally announces his decision in front of the small council. He chooses Alicent Hightower, daughter of his Hand Otto Hightower, as his bride-to-be. This shocks the viewers and the council, and enrages Corlys Velaryon.

Let’s have a look at how Twitter reacted to his choice:

I enjoyed how they clearly set up how the smart decision would be to marry Laena, only to have Viserys reveal he's not too bright and not a great king by picking Alicent and pissing everyone but Otto off. Important with how likeable Paddy is as him.

Outside of being the King’s Hand daughter, Alicent shouldn’t have even been an option. Viserys bout to cause a war over “love.” ? #HOTD
