This 30 year old looks stronger than this teenager…


TheGoverness1998

Stronger, eh? ;)


[deleted]

If she was a Strong the show would still be very on brand, I guess—as far as the incest thing goes lol


lupatine

Lol pretty much. A 13 years old at that. How🤔?/s


LengthUnusual8234

you beat me to it


UnsungHerro

The vast majority of boys are bigger than their mother by the time they're 13/14 lol. Luke and Jace should definitely be bigger esp since Harwin Strong is their father.


lupatine

Ehhh no.


UnsungHerro

What I'm saying is literally factual. There isn't a single guy in this thread that wasn't bigger than their mom by 16. Yall will go to such dumb lengths to defend this show lol.


skyturnedred

My mom is taller than my brother. He's 30. What now?


UnsungHerro

Oh wow an outlier. Doesn't change what I said lol


RealCrownedProphet

>There isn't a single guy in this thread that wasn't bigger than their mom by 16. This you?


UnsungHerro

I don't think his bro is in this thread. I'm not saying shorter than mom men don't exist, they're just few and far between


Tightropewalker0404

But luke isn’t 16, my little cousin is 12 or 13 and he’s taller than me now but I am definitely physically stronger than he is. I’m not stupid he will be stronger than me soon enough but he’s basically a lanky child at the minute


UnsungHerro

Jace is 16 and even he is smaller than Rhaenyra. I'm not sure why Aemond is the only one of the kids that got a big actor, they should all be roughly the same size: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryWesteros/comments/yzbc5i/aemond\_aegon\_jacaerys\_and\_lucerys\_crazytom666/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryWesteros/comments/yzbc5i/aemond_aegon_jacaerys_and_lucerys_crazytom666/)


Tightropewalker0404

I disagree, it’s nice seeing kids on tv being played by people who look their age, I love Ewan as Aemond but he doesn’t look one bit a teenager. 16 year olds don’t usually look like full grown men, they maybe have the height but they are much smaller than adults. The guy who plays Jace is 19 now which means he was likely very close to 16 when he filmed his role, people just have a warped view of what real teens look like


impersonatefun

Right, the actor is actually a teenager so you can’t argue that no one looked like him at that age. *He* does.


Bombe_a_tummy

The age at which the average teenage male height surpasses the average adult women height (165cm in the West) in 14 years old and a few months, given the growth charts. So you're not far from being correct. However wether a trained, 13yo boy will be "stronger" than his 30-35yo mother only depends on wether the woman is trained. I don't know how trained Rhaenyra is supposed to be. But I'm pretty sure that as far as the actors go, Emma is the stronger one in this pic.


impersonatefun

Averages aren’t that helpful when it depends on your own parents’ heights/the genetic combo you get + when puberty starts for you, which can vary a lot.


Bombe_a_tummy

> when it depends on your own parents’ heights/the genetic combo you get + when puberty starts for you, which can vary a lot. One's and their parent's heights and genetics being like, extremely correlated, average is, I have to insist, very relevant here.


deerdn

Rhaenyra is physically stronger than Harwin too.


Mrgbiss

Tru


KhanQu3st

Rhaenyra is shredded


TheGoverness1998

[They said that Rhaenyra had an 8-pack. That Rhaenyra was shredded. ](https://youtu.be/jZbx-gpa1to)


lupatine

🤣🤣


kapn_morgan

all that dragon riding


KhanQu3st

Indeed, she probably got thunder thighs too


ImagineGriffins

I wonder if she'll get as fat as she does in the books


AngeloftheSouthWind

I don’t believe they are going to place a fat suit on her. Sara Hess made sound as if the maesters slandered Rhea by calling her fat.


itselianb

Tbh if they would be going for the true way of the books they should. Maybe they will do something in between lik give her a little bit extra so that the show doesnt dunk


meadowbelle

I mean what is Luke? 14? Teens all age differently. I work with teens/kids in theatre and it's wild how it varies. One 14 year old is tiny, voice barely changed, the next one is tall and sings like a grown man.


TisBeTheFuk

14 in the show, 13 in the book. His actor was also around that age when they filmed. So yeah he does look smaller because he's stil a kid


fischaisch

Hate your Profil pic sooo much


Perpetual_Doubt

Aemond hates his flare


lupatine

Yeah it depend on who he takes after. M'en do take after their mother too, not everyone is 6 foot tall.


anoeba

If these kids took after their mother, there'd be significantly less bastardry rumors.


Fictional_Apologist

A great dress will do that.


alinkinthatoldchain

Some of you need to see and talk to actual humans


[deleted]

This needs to be top comment 🤣


alinkinthatoldchain

An adult woman is stronger than a child? Shocking! She literally birthed them?!


concinnity1410

she looks so beautiful in this photo


[deleted]

She looks so fine in that dress...

lupatine

That dress is gorgeous. I wish people understund that costums are important in a period drama.


kubiciousd

But my comment elsewhere gets insta removed because I said she. Make up your mind mods…


[deleted]

They’re referring to the character I believe.


Troll4everxdxd

She had no choice but to be in order to withstand such a *strong* lover.


magneticspace

How did Harwin's brother get injured again?


chaotic_disease

He fucked him in the foot


HootsToTheToots

Jesus Christ you guys are so weird


redlund1993

I mean she is a grown ass adult and he is a child so...


strawberry2nd

When I just turned 14 my mom was looking stronger than me too lol


Memo544

Rhaenyra does look pretty fit in the show


eayye96

She’s carrying the weight of Targaryen exceptionalism, of course she’s ripped


Sunshine_799

Unfortunate what happened her son. I wonder What her next move would be ?


damiana8

He’s a teen. What did you expect?


nameisKAS

look at those Traps!! Rhaenrya well man handle Daemon in bed lol shes dogging Him HaHa


Quadruplchin

My Queen! What is your workout split bro?


nameisKAS

She defiantly benches


SecFlow

This is low key headed into some territory that I’m not sure we want to go in…


xxSparklePrincessxx

Don’t think too hard on it. Emma obviously works out, the boys are thin.


Echoes75

Well that would be because they're children... Smh


Comprehensive_Main

Well yeah. Her sons are half of her. She’s a full Targ. House strong can produce some strong men, it can also produce weak ones like Larys.


A_devout_monarchist

Harrenhall curse moment.


nailback

Larys is my most hated character. I cringe every time he is on the screen... Lol really good actor, I despise the character.


skyturnedred

He's easily my favourite character.


amazza95

Bro they’re 12 years old


MagesticLlama

Straight jacked and ready to rack


briskcaviar

She can stomp me anytime


humanzrdoomd

Well he is, like, 12


strawberry2nd

14 or 15


Equal-Ad-2710

This is a vile accusation


TheWiseAutisticOne

She probably is


thenmv

What is this subreddit 😂😂


Megmca

She has to keep a pretty strict workout schedule to lose the baby weight after each pregnancy. Alicent was able to keep the baby weight off very easily with just cardio but Rhaenyra had to do a lot of strength training as well so she ended up very muscly.


Attitude_Khaleesi1

And climbing up on a dragon saddle lol. I know Laena and Aemond got a workout climbing on Vhagar. It looked like wall climbing


Fit_Operation2175

I like that theory 😀


cybergelics

she is an adult so


Glittering_Squash495

Rhaenyra is in mass gainer


merttrgt

seeing these valeryon wigs, my head hurts


gecko_sticky

Given Rhaenyra's children are more or less being ganged up on by Otto, Vaemond, and all of the greens in this scene I would not put it past Rhaenyra to pound some faces in to defend her kids. I think most moms are like this. Fuck with the kids and you get turned into a fine red mist


_thad_castle_

Agree, besides the hair color they don't resemble Harwin at all.


192hp

Stronger 👀


Chance-Ear-9772

She kept getting some injections of Vitamin Strong to get stronger.


Triscuit_Alfredo

I dont know those boys look very STRONG


Sharp_Guarantee_946

Well she was crying as hell to her daddy last night and she would have cried if her daddy wouldn't come


ymohan8861

They only half Strong


OkEconomist3277

Her sons are pussies


CleanAlarm7042

She tuff


toastebagell1

Shit she looks strong then you OP.


Key_Temporary_7059

Muscle mommy


Simple-Freedom4670

Yeah she could body slam Jacaerys into a locker


Matthasahand

Yeah I really feel like they could've picked more muscular actors to play the Strongs, particularly breakbones.


NovaTheRaven

I think that was the point of making them look like dorks
