The Queen We Chose || Daenerys Targaryen

Almost exactly 2 years ago (May 19, 2019), Game of Thrones ended. A series once renowned the world over limped across the finish line with an ending so egregious it basically killed its own fanbase. The writing was so bad it nullified any effort anyone else put into the show. I don’t think I’ll ever get over just how bad season 8 was, and as someone who loved Daenerys’ character and her progression throughout the story, I (like many people), was appalled with her ending. What could have been an interesting character arc was so rushed and nonsensical it ended up being nothing short of character assassination. This, then, is my tribute to Daenerys as she was and how we’ll choose to remember her: a fierce and powerful woman who made it her mission to end slavery and topple tyrants.
There are already so many beautiful Daenerys tributes made by amazing editors, and many of them do a brilliant job of portraying her life, development, character, fall and legacy. This edit isn’t that. It’s not meant to be an all-encompassing tribute or an objective edit examining both her strengths and flaws. I set out as a Dany fan simply to make something epic, and to focus on why we loved her, thus excluding her season 8 “fall.” I’ve wanted to make a Dany tribute for a long time, but once season 8 happened, well…the motivation just wasn’t there anymore. Hence, this edit barely acknowledges season 8 lol, except for some epic moments. Daenerys and Emilia Clarke (her actress), are both incredibly inspiring women that I’m glad have touched my life. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy! I’m very proud of this one haha :)
P.S. If you’d like a deep dive into Daenerys’ character and how season 8 did her dirty, Lindsey Ellis explains it all quite eloquently in this video: • The Last of the Game o...

To be fair, we would be worse than him.

[@NeonCalamity]

This was beautiful and I love that you didn't include her "fall" because it was character assassination. I got chills from this!

[@daniig62]

I think it’s more accurate to say it makes sense that she was going to end up going that route, but the way they did it was terrible. It was unbelievable, like she just completely changed her entire moral fiber overnight. It was bad bad writing

[@Ilivedbih]

@@daniig62 How is it more accurate that she ended that way when she changed her moral fiber? Her whole character and what she wanted lol

[@tabaxi]

thank god for you - I haven't been able to watch any Dany tributes because of the dumpster fire mess of season 8, so thank you for honoring her as she was instead of what they made her into

[@abookishrose]

You are not alone.

[@daniig62]

If it helps, remember kings landing as they cheered for Ned to be beheaded. Makes me feel less sorry for them lmao it’s still bad but it’s all I got

[@FirCorred]

Daenerys (as portrayed by E. Clarke) has become more than a fictional character in a fantasy story. She's almost an archetype, has stepped out of the show and for those of us who recognized her, chose her, she's kind of real (and alive). Those two idiots said it themselves, they wanted an end, they had enough and they wanted an ending with lots of shock value. Well, they shocked themselves right out of business, but Daenerys still is our chosen queen, no matter how idiotic the writing in the last seasons was. This tribute video is beautiful! As is the description, where the thoughts and motivations of it's creator are explained. I'm older - and I'm damn well proud of the GoT community! It lives on, it's creativity lives on, in a time when people are supposed to be like the lords of Westeros, sheep. We're supposed to forget and turn to the next thing that's presented to us. And yet, to this day there're videos made, discussions and exchange of thoughts go on, alternate stories are told. All that speaks for itself and it does so very eloquently. Daenerys of House Targaryen, long may she reign!

[@joweekley6742]

The queen we chose, the queen we deserved! Such an incredible edit 👏👏

[@s_r_edits]

Daenerys is such a compelling character, and you made her justice with your video.

LOVE THIS. Thank you for not including her downfall! Our queeeeeeen.

They did my girl dirty in the season. I don't even acknowledge that nonsense. This is fire.

[@Jaehaerysseddas9274]

Daenerys Targaryen Is the real Queen! Forever!!!

[@Ardelin_]

gah, I am *shaking*. So much epic. I admire the way you manage to fold in that s8 imagery without allowing it to scribble all over her actual (previous) character.

[@trinitystudiosediting]

Ah thank you! :)

[@icefiredawn]

I remember that day, I didn't even get to see it, I was bombarded by articles. I was also one of the millions that was psychology affected by what was said about her because of her decisions, decisions she made that paralleled things in my own life. There is a video called (Was I) Meant to Fall. It is a powerful video, but it helps fuel that void that was left from their collective decision to alter things. I love that you made this because it's like the sequel to that video somehow even though it's made by someone else and is much shorter. You showed the hypocrisy, and thus her true nature not in the light of people who only see black & white (as this world is becoming, I thought only the sith dealed in absolutes?) but in all the colors, she is flawed, merciful, kind, wrathful, just, intelligent, passionate and yet able to keep her mindset on her goals even WITHOUT her advisors. The Queen. Thanks for this, I needed this.

[@mayajal6806]

It is one of the most epic tribute of daenery. I wonder why this hasn't reached to thousand likes yet...but I guess it will soon

Stupid John snow. He should have let Daeny kill all of Kings Landing. Whatever she would have been build on it, would be better

Damn Gorgeous 🥰

[@Mentube_YT]

It’s a powerful story, the script is beyond perfection. It gives me goosebumps each time I hear these lines “… I’m going to break the wheel”.

[@ohhhwell9378]

I'd argue that they kind there was also some pretty shitty writing in s7 (and even in s6) that definitely didn't help. She started a whole "kneel or die" type of thing that people hated Stannis for. As if politics and diplomacy aren't also necessary. But it was not consistent. She was able to work out a deal with Jon Snow without him kneeling (which was shitty that they went back on and had him kneel despite her saying she'd help the North anyways. It was super dumb) but couldn't find anyway to settle with the Tarlys? Besides burning them? It makes no sense. They even in s8 went on and on about how she has no love in Westeros but then never take the time to truly show that or show why they would follow Cersei instead of her. Cersei murdered the Tyrells. There is no way that the lords of the Reach would be okay with the murders of their liege lords. So the Tarlys supporting Cersei makes zero sense. I think they wanted to end at 8 seasons but not all of the characters were there yet. They started to rush her storyline to get her to Westeros and disregard the lessons on the importance of politics from Meeren. Also Dany has been without a family for how long now? And instead of being happy that her bf has move of a connection to her (which isnt strange for their world) but is instead angry? Marry Jon would just solve her problem with the North. Since they follow him, they'll think its a political marriage. Also NAMING HIM AEGON TOO WAS SO STUPID AND I AM NOT OVER IT

[@joshthaller4754]

Not over it either, D&D were idiots that committed career suicide with their choices on season 8

what a great character build and what a lazy writing end for her shame! shame!
