But... NOOT the way they did it, they turned her into a mad little girl who got upset cuz her friends didn't like her anymore so she burned a city down. It was just dumb and lazy.

      @@TianaT4 I agree. She was such an amazing character and her ending was written like shit. Her story arch could have been good. GOT was always supposed to be about grey morality but she straight up turned into an evil villain. Her character could have been a great representation of the horrors of war and the use of WOMD (Dragons). She won't have burned the entire city down, but civilians would have been killed in the cross fire. She would have killed fleeing soldiers and even prisoners of war. Her finally arc would have been not going truly crazy, but called crazy because she fell into Noble cause corruption. This would have been a contrast to the other noble character, Jon Snow, who would have kept his morals throughout war.
      But hey. I understand. The producers were tired. They were ready to move on. So they did the most lazy and terrible writing possible and cramped three seasons worth of content in to one so they can move on to... oh that's right... no where.

    Both in the series and books...she is a very sad character, and I think the one who suffered the most. The Starks at least they were happy at one point of their lives, Dany was always running and being abused by her brother...then she just got some months happy with Drogo to be left with nothing again.
    She just wanted to belong...she didn't belong to Essos and thought Westeros would be her home, but it really wasn't. Noticing how everyone truly hated or feared her in Westeros must've been heartwreaking

    I can't believe it even after 2 years. Daenarys contributed so much in the War against the NIght King but all they did in return was spite her and never once thank her for her contributions. She was literally fighting the Night King in the air and against her own dragon that she raised since it was but a small egg. The Starks were my favorite in the first season but after what happened throughout the last seasons, they made me hate them. Bran is definitely no King.

      But if you think about it, Bran cannot be had or lied to, leading to any wrongful punishments or executions, or being set up and manipulated into doing something. He’ll know exactly what’s what and if there’s a threat, he’ll likely see it coming long before anybody else does. And there will be no greed for power leading to his corruption either because he’s not hungry for the throne.

    More than 2 years after the end of GoT, it's possible to analyze the entire series in a more objective and measured way.
    It's true that there were some clues (about Daenerys' "dark" ending) from the first season, however using books's logic by George Martin, it's impossible not to notice how at some point in the TV series the characters were totally changed from how they are written in the books.
    For example we have Tyrion who after murdering his father and strangling his lover (and raping a prostitute, but this only in the books) suddenly becomes the best and most moralistic character of the whole show: yes, just the one who in the second season has not hesitated for a moment to use the Wildfire to destroy Stannis' fleet, burning thousands alive, including Ser Davos' son.
    And that's because on the show the showrunners had chosen Tyrion to get their voice on the moral of their story.
    While in the books Tyrion is actually selfish, cunning, calculating and ... vengeful !!! ... This evidently did not interest the showrunners.
    And it's easy enough to see how after the end of the fourth season (the last one that followed the books quite faithfully) this story was no longer Martin's but something else.
    And it's not difficult to understand that D&D were writing the last few seasons completely ignoring the path indicated by Martin and instead following their very personal idea on the characters created by George.
    You can clearly see how those two were deeply inspired by Breaking Bad when they envisioned their ending, and how they planned Daenerys' path to make her look like Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader.
    Apparently they thought that by creating the female version of Anakin Skywalker, Disney would pave the way for a new Star Wars trilogy ...
    But things, as we all know, did not go exactly like this: you can't think of doing a job well if your head is somewhere else.
    If you want to do GoT well, you have to study Martin's books and add complexity and intrigue, you can't trivialize the plot that way and add a gorgeous ending ... but that was that of another TV series, that has nothing to do with the one you are working on.
    The result of this mixture could only be a big and stupid mess.
    And the rush to finish the show by accelerating the development of the story only made the final result even worse.
    GoT will go down in history as the show with the most interesting and captivating storyline in TV history, but also as the one with the absolute worst ending ... a stupid, hasty ending that doesn't do justice to the show's first good seasons.

      May I ask: what is the path indicated by Martin in your opinion?

    • @stefanomodonesi
      @stefanomodonesi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      @@Cliohna If you mean what Martin is likely to do in the books ... well, I think Daenerys will have a tragic ending, but she will never be the Dany-Hitler that we saw on the show.
      Perhaps the designated hero will be Jon, since in Martin's books it is almost always the male character who accompanies the reader to the moral of the whole story (although the more badass characters in Martin's books are predominantly female, and ASOIAF does not except for nothing).
      I'm afraid Bran will be King in the books too (but in what way and what it's all to see) ... and in my opinion he could also be the one who wrote ASOIAF (after all ASOIAF is written in various POVs, and Bran is the is the only one who can know what's going on inside a person's head, as he can go in and see people's past and present).
      In the book Fire & Blood, George seems to me to have changed the name of Jaehaerys I first daughter to Daenerys I (while in "The World of Ice and Fire" the name of the first born was different), so I assume that Martin wanted us to understand that maybe Daenerys will die in the war against the Others to save Westeros (as Daenerys I died of a disease called "Shivers").
      Here is what you need to know about Daenerys I Targaryen:
      awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Daenerys_Targaryen_(daughter_of_Jaehaerys_I)
      This is not to say that Daenerys won't set King's Landing on fire, but if she does, it sure won't be her ending, and the reasons why that might be more of a mistake (remember the Wildfire below the city) than a deliberate thing.
      Either way Martin is a cheat, and he could change everything to make the story less predictable.
      So let's get ready for everything ... and until the books are out, I think everything is still plausible (except his happy ending ... that I think is 0.0000001% probable, because Martin is notoriously a sadist, and he loves to kill the characters readers are most fond of, plus love stories always end quite badly in his books).

      Yeah, It was because the screenwriters were men, so they see women as weaker sex after all. They can't understand that not all women are emotionally unstable and don’t desire only just to be loved in life. Such a strong woman like Deanerys would never lost her sanity and integrity because Jon Snow doesn’t love her anymore. She experienced too much to go mad because of death of her friend and loss of lover. There were impressive women in history who proves that woman don’t need man by her side to be strong, complete and powerful.

      @@hypothesa Danny going mad was actually always part of George R R Marten's plan, even though he didn't finish the books he gave them basically an outline and some samples of what he had intended to do. I think it actually makes complete sense that she went mad, there was foreshadowing throughout the series for it, especially that her father was The Mad King, and that she steadily went from calm and methodical to aggressive and temperamental as she gained power. I think between the points you mentioned, Varys' betrayal, the loss of 2 dragons (which were basically her children), and partly that there seemed to be a genetic disposition to mental instability from incest (her parents were also siblings), it was the logical conclusion.
      ALL THAT SAID, the delivery in the show was horrendous. I get that the idea was that so much would just push her into eventually snapping, but the last season just skipped from main event to main event to main event in a way that there was no time for us as the audience to feel the coming storm. It didn't feel justified in any way and it was frankly just sloppy writing. It doesn't matter how good a story actually is, if you deliver it the wrong way it's not going to impact as intended.

What was meant to be her home and everything she had done to make that dream come true was shattered day by day. So she gave up on that desire to make it her home when she felt that it would never be a home to her and abandoned herself right in the moment when she realized her dream wouldnt come true, thus painting the red door black and giving herself up in that moment in pursuit of another, more realistic dream, aka liberating the whole world from tyrants like Cersei.

    I think it's totally understandable how Dany became the mad queen and it wasn't as sudden as people say. She'd lost her home, her entire family, her husband, her baby, 2 of her dragons, her protector, her best friend. She faced betrayal everywhere she went. She was the breaker of chains who went to Westeros thinking the people would welcome her for saving them from an oppressor like Cersei, but no matter her sacrifices, she was cast aside for her nearest male counterpart.

She betrayed her first brother (who was promised the crown), then her second brother (who was the real heir). She didn't break the wheel, she simply killed those who had power so that she could have that power. Yup, she was crazy from the beginning.

      I dare to say melting your brother's head with liquid gold is quite cruel. Suffocating your husband or burning alive the witch who brought him back because you wanted it, despite her warnings. Executing and burning alive surrendered soldiers. Crucifying hundreds of civilians. Killing all the masters and becoming the master yourself. Executing your advisor because he tried to stop your from committing more attrocities. Lying about the true identity of your step brother, the rightul heir, and manipulating him in order to keep power. Oh, and that moment when you decide to burn the whole city to ashes, while your soldiers slaughter everyone on the ground, because why not. And never had the guts to do it with your own hands.

      She lost brother because she killed him (indirectly, but she watched the scene with pleasure). She lost husband because she killed him. Her friends were true, that's why they tried to stop her from committing more attrocities, like crucifying hundreds of people, burning alive soldiers who surrendered, or turning the biggest city in Westeros into ashes and slaughtering everyone inside. She betrayed her brother who was promised the crown. She betrayed her other brother whose real identity would make him the rightful heir.

    Keep coming back to this video. The music, the editing, the darkness all brilliant put together. I really liked Dany, didn't like how they transformed her at the end. Maybe she would take that path, but all happened too quick. On the other hand, pain mixed with revenge it's an explosive mix. She lost her children, the man she loved, her friend, didn't feel was accepted by the people there put that together with the adrenaline of a fight and a need to revenge her friend...

    People forgot how good she was and don't understand that all the pain make her that way. Then she found a man that she loved and he could not love her back because they were related.

      Actually, Jon was madly in love with Dany. But being raised a Stark it was not honorable to bed his aunt. This story is being repeated now in House of Dragons between Daemon (uncle) and Rhaenyra (niece). And, because there has been some time between these two for some chemistry, fans are shipping them hard.
      Just because Jon refused to sleep with Dany did not mean he didn't love her. He continued to love her deeply and tried to keep his own feelings in check by remaining away from her. If not he was tempted -he wanted her.
      When Jon killed Dany he became a "broken man." It was touching when Tyrion showed compassion and touched his should for a few moments. Jon will never be the same again. So, his ending was not so wonderful either.

    The more i think about it, the more and more it makes sense she burned it all. From her very start she's been liberating slaves and changing things by changing the very way the people lived. And she's done it thru death. She burned all the khals. She burned the owner of the unsullied. She saw how much the north didn't accept her. The people of kings landing would never accept her. And ultimately if jhon wouldn't join her he'd become an enemy and she'd kill him too. The problem is danny always had one only plan getting her throne that was her birthright. But in the process of getting it she realised what the true game of thrones was. And like they said "when you play the game of thrones there is no second best, you win or you die"

      You forgot she killed her own brother - the first heir to the throne (although not directly). She then killed her husband (suffocated him), who was brought back to live by a witch (whom she killed, too), despite clear warnings she shouldn't, after he was wounded in the fight started because of her (depraved warriors of their spoils). She crucified hundreds of innocent people for the sins of the few nobles. She killed the masters and then became the master herself. On multiple occasions she executed enemy soldiers by burning them alive, despite they were already beaten, unarmed and surrendered. She executed her own advisor who tried to stop her from committing more such attrocities. She burned the whole city to the ground. And she manipulated her another brother, the rightful heir, so that she can keep the power for herself. She's Hitler (they even share the passion for burning people), just with better PR.

    One of the greatest FEMALE EMPOWERMENT stories ever and they ruined and destroyed her story. Kingslanding deserved to burn every inch every person PERIOD! When you take away the shock and awe of her raining FIRE AND BLOOD down on KL you have to think about a few things……
    1.) it was war and ok Tyrion asked her to think about the Bells but she never consented.
    2.) KL was filled with corruption hell even kids were killing.
    3.) no one talks about Cersei using the commoner’s as shields if Daenerys is guilty of massacre Cersei is an accomplice. However Daenerys is not guilty!
    4.) The wildfire that TYRION KNEW ABOUT BUT NEVER SAID SHIT ABOUT helped in the burning…..not just Drogon and Daenerys.
    Kingslanding was ALWAYS going to burn. Daenerys was not mad or crazy like the Mad King, not at all. People forget the Life Daenerys led. Living with guilt of losing her mother during her birth. Abuse for years at the hands of her brother. Running and hiding from birth trusting no one. Being sold to Khal Drogo. Being raped. Losing her baby. Losing her best friend. Losing two of her dragons and so much more. She was not mad!
    D&D did her dirty and I will never forgive them. For me her story ended at the end of season 6!

      Feminists are crazy and will always support and excuse crazy psychopathic behavior, if done by another feminist. Talking about periods - I don't think that's an excuse for burning the whole city to the ground and slaughtering thousands of people. Are you a sociopath...? xD
      And if she was not crazy from the beginning, then you must've watched different show. She allowed her brother to be killed and watched with pleasure, then made her husband to suffer the mortal wound, then killed her husband after he was brought back to life by a witch, then also killed the witch despite she warned her that Drogo will not be the same, then killing the masters to become the master, crucifying hundreds of innocent people to show everyone what she's capable of, executing the messengers (who were untouachable throughout history), burning alive soldiers after they surrendered (war crime), finally betraying her brother, the rightful heir, and manipulating him so that she can keep the power for herself. The burning of the city was just an icing on the cake.

    Both GRRM and Tolkien have flirted with power and its effect on people in their writing. Ring in LOTR and Dragons in GoT are power. And yes, it does corrupt people but how much, that depends on the person. Daenerys was special. The Unburnt. Mother of dragons. But if you see, she also understands when to use her dragons and when not to. If Dragons are part of the world and someone is going to ride them, then I would wish Dany shall have them, just imagine what each other character in the series would do if they had a dragon. That's why the finale sucked so badly, winning Kings landing can't corrupt her, she has rode a dragon, she is already the queen of Bay of the dragons(slaver's bay), Khaleesi, breaker of chains, she is the reason why living side won against the dead. Winning throne is good but not her greatest achievement anyway. So that corruption due power arc doesn't fit to her at all IMO.
    Irone throne doesn't make her special, she is already special.

    Forget bloodlines, forget about birthrights. Daenerys EARNED the right to be Queen. And in the end everyone betrayed her. Not to mention the fact that season 8’s ending was BS. Daenerys never would have murdered a city of innocent people. Could I understand her blasting Cersei to Kingdom come, in the Red Keep. YES. Which would have been a befitting ending for her. (Rather than her just getting crushed by falling stone 🙄)but Dany destroying the city - No way. I mean, when she attacked Kings Landing, she destroyed Euron’s fleet and then WENT OUT OF HER WAY, to not destroy the city. She only took out the walls and the front gate. Game of Thrones ended far too quickly, it needed at least 3 more seasons to defeat the Night King & Cersei. It was rushed and ruined. And anyone who is a true writer, knows that you need to follow a certain pattern when writing a script. I mean people who are writers are taught this for a reason. I am aware of this also, because my older sister worked within the entertainment industry on large film projects, where she met and is still friends with some top writers). Who have already said that you can’t take any character, especially a character like Daenerys and turn her entire personality and values in 3 episodes. That’s a huge character arc. If they truly wanted the show to end that way. Then they needed more seasons and a longer period of time to create a character arc that huge in Daenerys. I’m still so mad about it. They made a great show, built it up & then did a quickie ending that left so many things unanswered. I mean seriously. It’s that bad. The long night turned out to be the shortest night in history. The Dothraki weren’t even armed with weapons that could even kill the (army of the dead). And I’m sure that no one involved in that battle, ( had a premonition that Melisandre was going to show up and set their swords on fire 🔥. And even when she did, they went out straight away and were completely useless. I mean, you’d think the lord of light would be just a tad more powerful than that? (I mean, we did already have 1 flaming sword that never went out, also carried by an individual who had died how many times? But yet, still came back to life.) I also highly doubt that Daenerys would have pre-planned to send her Dothraki charging into battle like that, with useless weapons. She would have had them armed appropriately. I imagine that Dragonglass could have been attached somehow & forged to their already existing swords. Not much point, if you can’t kill the enemy..... And as viewers I’m sure that many other people noticed flaws like that. Things that I’m sure David Benioff and D.B Weiss thought we wouldn’t notice. I mean if you’re going to start something, finish it properly.) But -Instead they were in a hurry to rush off and write for Star Wars. Anyways getting back to the Long but very short night.... the lack of artillery used before the Dothraki charged was minimal. It would have made more sense. To pummel the living daylights out of enemy. Before charging. Instead of a handful of projectiles whilst charging.

      The North remembers everyone she killed; from her brother, her husband, the crucifixions, executing surrendered soldiers, to burning the whole city.

    Let's paint it black in the sequel cause you're Rhaenyra and Daemon descendant so they all should see what a true Targaryen can do.

    I am drawn to the idea of having a dragon that increases my power/influence.
    The idea is flawed.
    My experience with dogs has shown: They can be loyal, they can be strong, they can be Your Friend.
    They also will always have: Unreliability, self-choice, and accidents.
    The idea of a mighty dragon enforcing your will is flawed. And why would a being so powerful submit to so completely in the first place?
