yes, Otto's plan was to advise Aegon to have all the rivals killed, and Alicent disagreed. like the Ringer article I still thought it was kind of lame since it's not like the first person who talks to him gets their advice locked in automatically. but I guess it was an opportunity to introduce us to discount Varys, aka woman who talks funny.

Viserys mumbled something about Aegon specifically. it's still weird that she took it as her life mission so quickly, since it seems like common knowledge from the very top on down that Aegon would be a crap king. if he spends all his time in Flea Bottom doing depraved things, I would have assumed that all the common folk would know about that as well and would feel weird cheering for him at the coronation.
