nothing subtle about this show LOL.
viserys flailing around trying to kill a roped up deer while his daughter struts back in to camp covered in blood dragging a dead boar.

There was a point to how each killed their animals. Viserys didn't really want to do it. It's symbolizing the entire realm influencing him to name his son as the heir against his will. He ultimately does have a choice, but he's too weak to not let the other lords force his hand.

Rhaenyra had to kill the boar to survive. Well, I guess it was pretty much dead, but she didn't realize that. That and the White Hart seeking her out while others hunted it just shows that she needs to do what's best for her future and survival. Also, as others have said, walking back to camp with a dead boar is a way to show the others that she isn't some weak girl that can be married off.

To add to that, also thought it was another nice throwback to GOT and in this case Robert Baratheon.

i'm aware of that LOL. it wasn't very subtle imagery which i just found to be a little humorous that's all. my only complaint thus far is related to this...the time jumps put the storytelling in a little bit of a rush, theres no time for nuance. thus the obvious beat-you-over-the-head setpieces and the forced info-dump dialog (the scene with the old ladies at the hunt, for example). they have to catch the story up to the time jump so that they can get to the next one.
