Na now I know say people wey dey watch this show HOTD no Sabi shΓ―t.
Helaena showing little or no emotions towards her surroundings is actually mirroring her dissociation from the outside world. She's seen all the shit that's to come and what not and knows nothing is inevitable. She knows how it plays out, and individual actions of each people will still follow their fate.

She could tell you exactly how you end up at the end of it all and you'd still follow your instincts and behave just the same way her visions reveal. You're bound by fate and there's nothing you can do about it. So why would she bother or show so much care as other people when she knows how it all ends. Emotions or not.
People no give this kind SHALAYE for Game of Thrones when Bran Stark suddenly became all-knowing and omnipresent after becoming the three-eyed Raven. Dude showed little emotion. Just plastic like, filled with knowledge others haven't dreamt about or foreseen. Yet fans dey praise am up and down back then.

I dey wonder how people dey expect person wey don see everybody death to act like normal human being. Someone knows everyone dies and the person never craze dey dance n@ked by that info
Many people will react differently to that info. And I'd reckon a lot of people will give up and won't give a fvvk cos it doesn't matter what you do. You end up same way. So why be dramatic on the inevitable.
She's indifferent to her surroundings as a coping mechanism to bear her curse of always knowing how things happens before hand.

She's been that way for a long time since day one. Even since season 1. Bran wasn't. He grew into the character.
She's been that way and people thought her m@d. Now, they're slowly realising she sees things.

even at that, Aegon still wifed, fvcked and have her birth babies, which she readily pointed out her son, who was beheaded.

So, you're saying she knew she would point out her son to be killed and her and Alicent attacked by common folks?

Bro, she can't be compared to Bran Stark in anyway.

Lol, she knew about her son being murd€red. She said it already in the episode about the rats. She knew what would happen and still felt the shock of having to relive that moment when it happened.

Lmfao... Bran definitely fvvking can't see EVERYTHING. He's ONLY limited to what the weirwood trees/roots knows. Outside of Westeros Baba no Sabi shΓ―t.

Person wey even her family know say she no normal. Na small thing for remain make dem no tie her in chains and put her in psych ward. If Helaena opens her mouth and tell everyone exactly what she sees as she sees it, even her father Viserys the king would lock her up. No cap!!
Even if dem love am, dem go lock her up not to embarrass the family. That's why she talks in riddles and everyone who takes her seriously tries to solve it to get what she's saying.

If you look closely they look at her as a m@d fellow with judging eyes. Aegon no even send her message. They're only just doing her the honours cos she's royalty and they must protect their family name. Na now wey war dey sef dem no too dey reason her talks. They all knows she sees things but it's up to them to believe what her or acknowledge her "visions".

Well, this explains why he never had any vision of Daenyris when she was in Essos.

So, what gives her, her power of vision. Atleast, we know how Bran developed his, what about Helaena. This is why I believe her character wasn't really developed. Truly, I thought she was just talking gibberish, as a result of having to fvck her brother, birth his babies and still have her mother in law, as her mother, until episode 8 in season 2, when she told Aemond she saw what he did.

The writers didn't really give her due notice, so, I feel her character is loosely developed.

My sentiments too
She wasn't fleshed out like Brann.
We don't know how her power works and it's limits, many people don't even know she has powers in the first place.

I really don't understand you people in this thread again oo. Y'all are making me feel crazy cos e no be like na same show we dey watch.

Helaena seeing visions was as plain as day for me since S1.
β€’ She forsaw Aemond losing his eye as punishment for acquiring Vhagar and told him
β€’ She saw Rhaenys using her dragon to break free during the coronation.
This are S1 I can remember off the top of my head.

β€’ She knew her son was going to be killed by Blood and cheese this season.
β€’ Told Aemond his fate.

So I don't understand how are these not obvious to a viewer. Only those two feats in season 1 is enough to make you believe she is a seer, knowing about two big events before it happened.

E just be like everybody dey choose wetin dem wan see and believe. No wahala sha. Everybody go dey alright.

no one is doubting she is a seer. What we are criticizing is not knowing how she got her power of vision, to me, that's very poor character development.

A look a Bran's own story will tell you not only how he got his powers, also how he was trained to use it and his journey to getting it. That's very good character development. Same can not be said for Halaena.

Lol... It's not a power up bro.
She just sees visions. Which power explanation you need again for that one. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

A few Targaryens end up being seers asides from being predisposed to be Dragonriders.
Aegon I The Conqueror was a seer too. He saw the Night King and the coming of darkness.
Viserys I also had this gift, that's where he told Rhaenyra of his dreams β€” Song of Ice and Fire.

Their ancestor, Daenys (I think) foresaw the destruction of Old Valyria and told her father Aenar which led to the whole family packing their belongings and sold property to leave Valyria and move to Dragonstone in Westeros. Some years later, Valyria was destroyed by the apocalyptic event along with the dragons in it.
Which effectively left the Targaryens as the only dragonlords left, along with the Velaryons as the only surviving Valyrian families.

Targaryens weren't even that important in Valyria itself and they were a smaller and low influential family with fewer dragons than the rest.

Apt.
Seems some of our guys aren’t informed about the history of old Valyria. Targaryens were saved from the doom in first place because of vision, how do you want to explain inborn gifts 😁

her visions is very strong, guy, very strong, potent and accurate. You can't compare the power of Aegon the 1st and the rest Targaryen to that of Helaena.

No be everybody get that time like you. It's the same people that watched and enjoyed GOT dey complain about HOTD. Each man to his opinion.

It's a 10/10 movie - good for you but I consider it a 4/10.
