A. The idea that your strange little test would somehow “debunk” this “theory” doesn’t make a lick of sense. You just mumbled something and then lazily landed back on “See?? Bias!!”

Oh man, you know your show has some good writing if the plot only makes sense if you watch the behind the scenes documentary afterward.
Maybe, but her deciding to randomly burn all the peasants really isn’t a “disasterous ruler” move. It’s just random and bonkers.
Subscribe to at least 5? YTube GOT channels and drop in on 10 more and...this whole: “If you didn’t see Dany going mad then you were not paying attention” deal definitely represents the minority opinion.
Ned Stark killed someone in basically the first scene of the series. Bad guy?
Oh, come on. Throwing a slave master to a dragon and burning thousands of civilians to death are not equally bad.
“It’s personal with the Red Keep... ok now I’m gonna go destroy everything but the Red Keep for a while.”
Even if it becomes “personal” (more personal?), if the Red Keep symbolizes all she’s lost, why would she make the insanely unproductive move of not destroying the Red Keep, giving Cersei a chance to escape while killing a bunch of unrelated people for no reason? Those citizens were not in the Red Keep, it doesn’t make…
It also forgets that the Tarlys had literally just massacred an entire city and murdered their allies.
Except that doesnt explain it at all, since she didnt just make a beeline to the Red Keep and completely level it and ensuring Cersei died right away.
One, this has been widely reported already. Two.....
This is a little late coming (and pointless?) as Weiss said it literally five minutes after they aired the episode, in the follow-up “inside the episode” thing that starts to roll as soon as the episode’s credits end, aaaand people have been making fun of it since then, as well. Why are you posting this unless this…
The whole Daenerys as Mad Queen thing is strange. Like my definition of “Mad” monarch is based on the book/show interpretation of the Mad King which was that he was insane. I never got that Daenerys was insane. She’s ruthless, but not moreso than Stannis Baratheon or Tywin Lannister or any other major power player in…
So nice that this wasn’t in the episode and later explained in a bonus feature. Because that’s what fans want: character development to be explained to them in a bonus feature.
The problem with the last two seasons is that Benioff & Weiss are great interpreters, bad creators.
Yeah, it’s a story that kicks off with the sympathetic protagonist of the first book/season beheading a terrified man for desertion, when we know that running away was a pretty rational thing to do. Executing people for failing to obey or to do their duty doesn’t make you unhinged or a villain in this culture.
“Few would argue that Daenerys turning into the Mad Queen and destroying King’s Landing wasn’t fitting, as it was foreshadowed multiple times “
This is horseshit. The “foreshadowing” is only there retroactively. Had it gone the other way, there was just as much “foreshadowing” that would have shown her moving to being…
In the episode’s “Inside The Episode” installment, Weiss says that the Red Keep, in that moment, symbolized all she and her family had lost, and the sight of it turned things personal for Daenerys.
Tell, don’t show (Screenwriting 101). I’m sure that’s how it goes.....
