Was he aware they were self-aware?

Because it as forced? They were offered 10 episodes. They said “no, we can do it in six”. They clearly couldn’t. It all felt rushed and UNEARNED and UNSATISFYING.

She never attacked innocent people. This was forced and rushed and poorly executed.

for me its less not seeing it coming as much as the show being so hamfisted about getting us here.

Yeah, we call that “bad writing”, my friend. Or more simply, “forced”? 

The show is complex and people dont watch close enough and miss much of the subtleties. Everything that happened was foreshadowed and made perfect logical sense

Sure, Deany has been ruthless and gone after her enemies without mercy, but ALWAYS in service of either her larger ambitions or her sense of justice. What she did in this episode serves neither of those things. How does it benefit her to burn down a city that now belongs to her? It’s completely ridiculous and contrary…

A little research would show you’d lose that bet.

lol the writers haven’t been doing shit “brilliantly” since they ran out of someone else’s words to tell them what to write.

Hey, remember when Dany said “I am not here to be the Queen of Ashes”? Remember that? At the beginning of season 7? Then they decided spontaneously to make her that? What the hell!?

There’s a difference between being ruthless and being completely insane.

But the Targaryens who came from Old Valyria all those years ago conquered by being notoriously lenient with those who chose to support them, not by burning everyone, even the innocent. The Tyrells and the Tullys, for instance, are both in the positions they’re in because Aegon the Conqueror granted them their titles…

No. There was foreshadowing yes, but foreshadowing doesn’t instantly make the resulting action logical. That’s the problem with the damn scene. Murdering those people serves her no purpose. That’s what people seem to be throwing people for a loop. Even at the original works most nihilistic there was always a…

Honestly you’re fucking stupid and casual and have no idea of what is wrong from right. Really need to re-evaluate your thinking capacities.

I agree with you 100% Jason.
People are fucking stupid. I am tired of arguing.

Stolen from Twitter:
“Some folks really don’t understand that *foreshadowing is not the same as character development*. Like, just because you hint that something can happen in the future doesn’t mean you don’t have to do the leg work in the story to show how we arrive to that destination.”

Right, not in her eyes. So, she would have burned the city of Astapor, whose masters were attacking her, and innocent people would have suffered for it. But she didn’t burn Astapor after it surrendered to her. She didn’t burn Yunkai after it surrendered to her. And she didn’t have to be talked out of those decisions.…

“If you thought that turn on Game of Thrones felt rushed, surprising, or like it came out of nowhere...you haven’t been paying attention.”

For all of... two episodes? Come on. The rationale basically just boils down to “She went crazy because Targaryen” which is complete weaksauce.

Is it possible to understand everything that went on in the movie, and still hate it? Because that is where I am.
