Writers when their villain actually has a sympathetic and just cause:
Kinda off topic, but in the midst of all the Benioff & Weiss (deserved) hate, people started saying they fucked up Daenerys’ story as well…
I just don’t get that, I thought they planted throughout the entire series that she’s genuinely unstable and might snap.
Was it poorly executed? Yes. But I don’t think they fucked up the core idea behind her character arc, which is what I saw a lot of people angry with.
If people were upset with that then they missed a lot of foreshadowing. “When a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin.”
I hated it because it felt rushed. They were tying up years long storylines too quickly because they wanted a piece of the Star Wars money. This led to them rushing through way too many stories and had the end result not make sense with a lot of other storylines. They ignored personal growth of the characters we followed just to get them to the ending that B&W wanted. That was my beef anyway.
Yeah, there seemed to be a lot of crossroad moments in the show where Daenerys was leaning towards violence, but was persuaded to show some level of mercy.
It was a good arc in theory but it should have been done over 2 or 3 seasons, not half a season.
I always read that people were angry at the execution not at the idea itself. It was pretty obvious that she was gonna snap and go genocidy, but the way she did was dumb and nonsensical imo.
Makima and DIO
Didn’t trust that bitch. The I’m like, fuck it, she’s probably not that evil.
And then she was that evil.
Every protagonist of a video game that gives me the freedom to do whatever I want. Eventually I will do everything, including genocide.
