@OMaddy2593: Bran’s Vision In season 4 of a Dragon flying over Kings Landing

Daenerys’ vision of her in the Red Keep In season 2

I don’t see how y’all shocked that Dany sacked the city

Remember when Luke entered the cave and saw that he became Darth Vader? Did he become Darth Vader? No because the writing wasn't terrible.

They rub Dany and the possibility of her becoming her father throughout the entire series. The entire idea would be that she is something different. Her becoming the mad queen just erases seasons of build up because they want to get the show over with. And even if they wanted to go that ridiculously obvious direction, then they should handled it a lot better.

That was how many season ago? She grew up and just last season said "I am not here to be the queen of ashes."

Here the Ringer explains it pretty well...https://www.theringer.com/game-of-th...de-5-mad-queen

I can't even begin to express my disappointment in seasons 7 & 8 of GoT. I don't know if it's time or money constraints but the underlying issue is the writers/ HBO have rushed the show resulting in clunky writing more interested in resolution than depth and nuance. Characters are unrecognizable. The show went from smart to stupid quicker than any show in recent history.

She was parroting Tyrion's exact words when she said that -- right after he talked her out of torching King's Landing... But then she lost faith in Tyrion. And Jorah died. Then Missandei. And Varys betrayed her... So basically everyone whose guidance had kept her from going full Mad Queen in Essos was lost to her in Westeros... With no nurture, she fell back on her nature -- and her nature is blood & fire, as she has pointed out all throughout this series.

I can easily pull many more examples of how she had changed as a character like her telling Yara she can no longer rape or pillage. The simply fact is there was very little motivation from the giant massacre. She's always been vengeful against her enemies but not against innocent civilians. And she could have just done it all last season with a single dragon.

To be fair, the show isn't terrible now just because of her though. They've poorly mismanaged Jamie, Tyrion, Jon, etc.
