"A Targaryen, alone in the world, is a terrible thing." - Maester Aemon Targaryen

[@josecarlosbellini6181]

She was not alone

[@TangibleNought]

@@josecarlosbellini6181 First she lost Viserys, her last sibling and close family. Then she lost Drogo and her child. Aemon had no means of reaching her, far too old and committed to the Night's Watch. Her eventual discovery of Jon as her nephew strangely did not settle well with her, bc D&D chose to do that. She saw him as a threat and yet loved him at the same time. He eventually pushed her away. She lost her allies, Jorah, Barristan, Missandei, two of her dragon-children, Varys who conspired to assassinate her, and finally Tyrion. In the end, she was alone with only her weapons of war (Drogon and Unsullied/Dothraki). No support, no love, no empathy.

Flip the crazy switch on so quickly. What in the fuck are you on about. She did not go crazy when she heard the bells end of..... Please re-watch episode 5.... She sat there in the throne room of Dragon Stone and discussed the fact she was going to burn it and innocents. So before she got to KL she was going burn it down. The bells were a plea for her to change her mind and not burn it down..... But she didn't, she stayed with her original plan.... So I ask again.... Wtf are you on about flicking a crazy switch...

[@ElenaGaunt]

The importance of Olenna's speech was truely underestimated back in season 7. She was the first who suggested Daenerys to be ruthless, to embrice herself for what she really is, to lead as the Targaryen bloodline impose. Due to the fact that House Targaryen has Valeryan blood and magic roots, madness and hunger for power are her destiny and downfall, even if Dany tried to be "more than that" ("more than mother of dragons"). The phrase "let it be fear, then" was so meaningful: she has always wanted to be loved from people (those times are the best moments for her character development, she is compassionate and kind there). And now, in Westeros, she’s spent all this time fighting for people she thought should love her, and when she realizes they never will, she’s willing to let their world burn to punish them. As Olenna said: "[here in Westeros] they won't obey you unless they fear you". So, at the end, love and fear have the same value in her eyes. There's no middle ground.

Nobody could go through everything she did and not come out broken on the other side

[@sopia6326]

So true, but in the end, when she saw that she won the final war and heard the bell, she had an option to just kill cersei or destroy the castle. But she killed innocents and destroyed the entire city.

[@skinfan2806]

Your right she’s not the villain she’s the tragic hero

[@skinfan2806]

Basically everyone followed her as a hero but in reality some heroes end up tragically doing bad things in the name of their cause. Jaime was trying to reform himself and be his best self with a woman who was positive for him, Brienne, but like so many he couldn’t overcome his addiction to a negative toxic partner. Jon was the classic leader and hero who didn’t want to be a hero but he got a relatively quiet unglamorous ending unlike most of these fantasy heroes. Basically George RR Martin wanted to break fantasy and narrative tropes in Game of Thrones and he did just that. There’s a beautiful realism to his story because things didn’t work out perfect nor even as expected for most characters, just as life never works out as expected

[@skinfan2806]

Sopia I think that what she meant when she said that violence was Danaerys only choice was that it was her only choice in her mind to achieve her life goal of taking the iron throne back for a Targaryen. She didn’t have to kill the innocent civilians but she did it to send a message to the rest of Westeros to fear her. She says clearly at the end of the season, “I don’t have love here I only have fear” especially combined with Jon’s rightful claim to the throne she felt her grip on the throne would be very weak if she didn’t make Westeros fear her. The KL massacre was notice to rest of Westeros, look at what I can do, don’t try and take the throne away from me or your cities will be next. However of course it backfired because she never expected her former lover and nephew Jon would kill her.

This was actually built up since season 2. Daenerys has ALWAYS had mad queen tendencies and a love for "justice" aka murdering those who wronged her. As her dragons grew she started using more and more fire (just like her father) and this "plot twist" was acutally calculated. The only thing D&D did right.

Perhaps the civilians did not deserve it but as a Queen, Cersei failed, she should be blamed. Her death wasn't satisfying enough. Danny gave options and they refused so she took back what was hers, with fire and blood. I'm glad she cleansed that city of vermin, but sacrifices must be made.

The ideals she had weren't well justified, as she didn't know how to do the right thing without attaching only to basic moral concernings. She was too dependent, and when she felt that she was losing, no could stop her because they weren't able to see the magnitude of her problem, so she did what her father did when he felt like he was losing his power.

[@homelander4375]

@@Sickentist Confused writers? You do realize that nearly every single element in this episode was foreshadowed? The writers knew exactly what they did. The best argument all of those "critics" have to offer is that everything did not turn out to be how they would have liked it or expected it to be. That's the point of the last season: It is supposed to be provocative and unconventional.

It was always believable. Those threads are. All. There. This video just puts them together in a shorter timeline. Its built to be what it is, it's written as a tragic villain origin story, and its superbly executed. People are upset and heartbroken because they're supposed to be. Because we loved Dany and ignored all the signs of cruelty and ruthlessness. It's a gloriously written Shakespearean tragedy of a character.

[@jeremynigg5230]

Slain thank god im not the only one thinkin that way ... I was actually shocked how many people acting surprised right now and even complain that it’s completely random that she became the „mad queen“

[@_Dovar_]

Her mind was poisoned by the desire of power and revenge of her brother Viserys. At the very beginning she only wanted to live a peaceful and easy life in Pentos, her aspirations changed after marrying khal Drogo. Daenerys wanted to become the Targaryen Queen, the last heir to the Iron Throne and to her House, and a beloved saviour and ruler - she created an image of herself, which she worshipped: an embodiment of Just Power. It was when she saw, that Cersei's lies about "the Mad King's daughter" were believed by the people in the south and that Jon's reputation combined with his rightful claim (even despite him not wanting any power) would cause people and lords of Westeros to strongly support him - it was then, when Daenerys realized, than the only way to fulfill her dream, her "destiny" - was to become a Power, if not Loved, so be it Feared. Innocent people she willingly killed, were a sacrifice she made, to make her position unquestioned in the eyes of whole Westeros and the whole world.

[@VenomousSpyro]

I think anyone with a Brain knew she was going to be the Mad Queen. She has been set up to go insane since season one. But there was a moment of doubt and it still sad/epic to see it happen. She went that insane that I actually started to support Cersei. Never thought that would happen. They did a really good episode. Season 8 has been a disaster up to this point. But they may of saved the series with that episode. It still feels super rushed though. There is so much information left unclear. Think a better way to put it. Happy with that episode but super disappointed with this season. Game of Thrones has always been relatively slow paced. They knocked it into hyperdrive this season. If/When the books are finally finished hopefully it will have a more satisfying ending.

[@Erizedd]

@Rozy Ella In regards to Targaryen's, whether they're mad or not mad. (It's the incest thing)

[@DieserOli2127]

Well now we know. Daddy would be proud

[@San4311]

@Rozy Ella Most Targaryens are born of incest. Incestious babies are prone to have mental disorders, hence there's a ''50/50'' chance that they're either good/kind or mad. Viserys was mad for power, Aerys II was the Mad King, Rhaegar was a good man with a heart for the people. Dany always, from season 1, sat right between her two brothers when it comes to her mental state, but now the coin flipped to the mad side once and for good. Same thing for Cersei and Jamie's children. Cersei beat the odds 2 (Myrcella, Tommen) to 1 (Joffrey). Aerys and his wife/sister Rhaella clearly did not. Also Jon doesn't count in this because he wasn't born of (direct) incest.

[@CriticalPosthumanism]

The biggest problem of S8 is that it's too short. 6 episodes are not enough to tell the story. Everything feels forced and rushed. I am totally ok with Dany turning mad but not in the span of just 2 episodes! No human being makes a complete 180° in chrakter transformation this fast! If they would have build that up over a whole season with 10 episodes it would have been perfect. Look at the character transformation of Walter White in Breaking Bad for example: he makes a 180° too, from a shy family man to a drug lord without mercy. But his transformation happens in 62(!) episodes so the audience can understand it because they see everything that happens to him. edit: To everyone who says that Dany always had a dark side inside her: Yes, maybe she had. But then show us how this dark side grows (hi @ Anakin). From the Dany S8 E1 to the Dany who just kills thousands of innocent people, including women and children ist still a HUGE step. And i want to see the evolution between it in more than just a few scenes.

[@enviedcookie5773]

d3af it’s all in the writing. You can have the greatest actors. But if the writing is bad, well...then you get GOT season 8.

[@perifrantzis3289]

Its was being built up in the whole series

[@jimjamsim]

I agree! I don't have any issues with the story that they wanted to tell. My only issue is that they decided to reduce the final season to 6 episodes (Even when HBO said they'd be happy giving the funding for more seasons. The only people who wanted to finish GoT were the creators) and thought they could tie up all loose ends within these 6 episodes. They didn't know what to do with Tormund, the Wildlings and Ghost so they just came up with an excuse to send them back North when I know for a fact that the Wildlings would have happily joined Jon to fight in the South. The Writers just stopped caring. When asked why the Night King didn't burn in Dragon Fire, their response was "Why would he burn in dragon fire?". The fans have better theories as to why things happened and the writers, who literally wrote it, can't even explain their choices. I won't ever tell story writers how to write their story but I hate when they don't care about the story their telling and D&D don't care about what they were writing. I will support the final season because of the actors and everyone behind the scenes that put their blood, sweat and tears into the sets, costumes and props and choreography but the writers are dickheads.

[@CriticalPosthumanism]

@@perifrantzis3289 she was always against tyranny and killing innocents.

d3af but she still showed cruelty towards those who deserve it. It’s a thin line between “deserve” and “don’t deserve”. I believe, in her eyes, every citizen was kinda guilty because they chose not to rebel against Cersei as the slaves did rebel in the East. So she decided to show fear.

If the USA had won the Vietnam War handily, while killing innocents in the process, the outcome would be a “Rah, Rah, we won, we won!” moment and the United States would have accepted that outcome (reluctantly, at first, but after settling in and seeing a shorter war and victorious ending) would have accepted US leadership in the end.
