Spoilers: Internet Divided On The Next To Last Episode Of Game Of Thrones
Don’t Read If You Don’t Want The Penultimate Episode Of Game Of Thrones Spoiled!
The internet is very mixed on whether or not it made sense Daenerys lost her shit and nuked an entire city with her dragon last night. Something that may have tipped you off is if you noticed her roasting people with her dragons the previous 7 seasons.
What made the writers think the mad queen arc for daenerys was a smart choice???? You literally just told your audience that self fulfilling prophecies are inevitable and free will and choice do not exist. That people can never not be like their parents or their parentsbeforethem

Daenerys wasn't winning the way she wanted to win. She spent her whole life in an echo chamber while believing a fantasy of her claim to the throne, and when life didn't follow that script, she couldn't handle it. https://t.co/n5Yynv8KFu

The real Westeros —the Westeros she encountered, not the one she dreamt of— didn't give a damn about Daenerys Targaryen. Especially one who had always shown tendencies of being a mad queen. She figured that out when Sansa, Arya, Jon, Tyrion and Varys all defied her in some way.

And so as shoddy as GoT has been the last few seasons —this season especially— it's honestly refreshing that she didn't get a rosy win. It would've been corny as all hell for her to rule on the throne with Jon as her lap dog because yayyyy it feels good.

Daenerys just legit committed genocide and people are in my mentions like “she always had it in her.”
Bullshit. I don’t think she’s some sort of hero. She’s on her white savior bullshit. But genocide with no option to serve her or paint her toes or whatever? Nah. #GameOfThrones

And the “she’s a Targaryen shrug emoji” excuse doesn’t work either. As Varys said, with targaryens you flip a coin. She wasn’t destined to be a mad queen. They didn’t write her that way for 6 seasons! She got a bit big for her britches in S7, but genocide? Nah #GameOfThrones

I’m not pissed about the Mad Queen arc (I’ve been rooting for that since the beginning), I’m pissed that it’s coming about because Dany apparently can’t deal with Turbulent Female Emotions. “She can’t be a good ruler, she’s not as collected and level-headed as Jon Snow!”

Danaerys Stormborn Of Ice Targaryen has always been the ultimate bad guy. This was what Martin intended. He built the character up. Made us root for her only to make her into the greatest villain of them all. It’s so fucked up it’s perfect GOT! #GameofThronesseason8episode5
