If this parecía was meant to be a nostalgic and festive gathering of the stars of Tronos Game, it ended up being exactly the kind of media extravaganza we’d all hoped for. In a special event that brought together much of the series’ canon, the atmosphere of complicity and unexpected twists and turns was heightened when Emilia Clarke, Daenerys Targaryen’s successor, made a comment that quickly sparked controversy. Directed by Bella Ramsey, who plays the indomitable Lyanna Mormont, Clarke pointed out in a sarcastic tone that her companion would “stand alone as a supporting character” and “never be able to match the impact she had on the Khalees in the series’ legacy.”
The public presents itself in silence, surprised by the comment that many of us express as inappropriate and condescending. Ramsey, aware of its strong character and its ability to project an arrolling presence on the screen that weighs on its young people, does not take long to react. With a wonderful firm and a cold tone, he uttered a word that immediately turned into a global trend: “Syentate, Khaleesi. No view to subestimar to the new generation.”
The cameras captured the precise moment: Clarke played an inconvenient sound, causing the audience to oscillate between the sound and the voice. In keeping with the times, social networks are flooded with clips, even debates that are highlighted when hidden. For many, Ramsey’s response is not a personal defense, but also a symbol of the general association within the maintenance industry.
Twitter, Instagram and TikTok are full of comments. Algunos defended Clarke, arguing that his comment had been misinterpreted or that simply formed part of an acidic humor propio of the meetings between colleagues. Also, without exception, we applaud Ramsey for having considered the value of infringing on one of the most important figures in the series and it is evident that the respect between actors does not depend on the quality of the paper that is interpreted.
The more surprising reason is that various actors present in the event will decide to intervene soon through our social rules. Algunos like Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) share ambiguous messages that they incline to the side of Ramsey, recording that “all the characters, great or small, dieron vida al fenómeno que fute Juego de Tronos”.
Television critics and specialists in pop culture do not delay in analyzing the situation in depth. Para muchos, where Bella Ramsey recorded with her brief intervention was to break a paradigm: to demonstrate that the influence in the collective memory does not depend on the cantidad of minutes on the screen, if not on the intensity and authenticity with which an actor embodied his personaje. Lyanna Mormont, weighs in on her secondary role, already has an incredible crowd, and the public reaction at the moment it was demonstrated.
From the time of Emilia Clarke, the situation was already an unexpected one with its impeccable reputation. Some of our most loyal followers defend the idea that everything we have if it is misinterpreted, many of us coincide in that our words are deceptive to a young colleague. The comparisons between Daenerys and Lyanna began to multiply, turning into a digital battle camp in which each fanatic defended the greatness of her favorite.
Mientras tanto, Bella Ramsey salió reforzada del episode. This phrase turned into a letter repeated by thousands of young actors and followers who lived in it as an example of determination and co-operation with the pressure of consagradas figures. The hashtag #SiéntateKhaleesi went viral in response to the times, generating millions of interactions and consolidating the idea that the new generation of Westeros does not live in the shadow of old icons, even though it claims its propio space in popular culture.
The incident, I said, in a simple anecdota, sheltered a debate more amply on the trato that reciben the young actors in the industry and sobre how the power of the palabras could radically change the public perception in cuestión de segundos. When a commemorative event came to an end, it ended as a historical moment that, for good or ill, passed away as part of the game of Tronos.
Ultimately, “Siéntate, Khaleesi” is not a spontaneous response, except the symbolic declaration that the era of Bella Ramsey has arrived.
