- the weekend show ep 13 | Everyone is pissed at the Game of Thrones writers because viewers did not expect Dany to go so evil ... at least so fast! But, she was always the secret villain of the show! We review the clues that were there all along, and how we were manipulated as viewers with red herrings (just like John, Tyrion, the Unsullied, and on and on).
Dany never had a birthright; House Targaryen was deposed in Robert’s Rebellion.
I realised she was evil after she started referring to herself by crazy titles and kicking down kingdoms without thought. The Narcissism was evident all along, people just didn't see it because they were her horde, they got caught up in her meglomania
She never tricked me. I always saw her for what she was. I was paying attention. So when Dany burned the city down, strangely enough, it was horrific but I also felt her catharsis because this is what she was about from the beginning and what she wanted to do all along finally, the facade was dropped and the dragon revealed.
No she wasn't. This is just you trying to make sense of horrible writing by dumb and dumber. It could have been interesting, with a better execution and a longer story how she slowly descended to madness, but she certainly wasn't a villain for the first 6 seasons or so. Maybe 7.
I think it's too harsh to say that she was 'always' the villain. I think it's more accurate to say she always had the potential to become a villain and most/many people missed the foreshadowing because the surface narrative tended to portray her as being heroic and in the right (up until the last episodes her most evil moments involved her being ruthlessly violent towards evil characters who arguably deserved it).
No one wants to find out they were rooting for Hitler. Yet, people want to know how people can be duped into the worst behavior.
I wasn't mad that she turned evil..I just felt like, we needed two more seasons for it to play out..a gradual transition lol..
I totally agree. She was also pushing moral boundaries and they positioned it as honourable, but she was barely ever compassionate, like she beheaded that dude? Burned everyone alive ect
Like many others have said, her downfall and "madness" makes sense as a storyline, but the execution was terrible.
We were tricked into thinking of her as the "victim overcoming odds" hero but really Dany is an example of the victim can be a monster too. Its poor timing that Martin started this in the 80s but the show is in the 20s. A time when victimhood is supposed to mean unquestioned innocence and being morally right.
I think the point of GoT is that everyone is the villain. The that the show poses to everyone is How far will you go for power or revenge? Arya goes full on murder pillage and we think her actions are justified because the writers emphasise so much how evil the people she killed are and in our minds we think her actions are justified. I think the point is that they are all villains
Aerys: Burn them all!
i’ve been telling people this ‼️😭 they tried to make her out to be a a white savior and “free the slaves” but turned right around and mentally enslaved them herself all the murder and fire she’s unleashed before burning the capital she’s always been a monster tbh
People forgot, or overlooked the fact everything Daenerys did was with the goal of getting the Iron Throne. She never settled down enough to set a working system. She came. She saw. She conquered. She left. Did she really need to go to Westeros when she could have stayed in Slaver's Bay and turned things around for the better and have the genuine gratitute of the people?
People always fall on the messianic figure philosophy.
That isn’t the problem. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE in GoT has done some really F’d up stuff in the series. The problem isn’t her descent into evil but how fast they went about it.
I don't think she manipulated others willingly. I think she was an entitled narcissist who believed herself to be noble and magnanimous, and therefore she wanted to be loved and worshipped. But when she got to westeros she realized that she wouldn't be loved and worshipped so she literally said "if it isn't love, let it be fear". In The Bells she realized that she was fooling even herself and went "F it! Y'all bitches gonna fall in line"
Daenerys since Season 2: I will burn King’s Landing to the ground to take the Iron Throne.
I've read the books.
She was a conqueror all along, and thats not a compliment, she wanted power for power itself, and had this strong feeling of destiny and greatness. She always claim that she was a super important woman, and only she should rule westeros even nobody wanted her in westeros. She did good things that were most of all great gestures, why would someone who claim carry about people would take dothrakis to westeros, knowing their culture and behaviour? Why dothrakis should die so some girl can sit on a throne in other continent?
