    While there were some truly awful moments in the last season of game of thrones, danaerys’ arc was not one of them. Her going nuts was hinted at from the beginning and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

      The problem isn’t the heel turn, the problem was that it happened on like 4 episodes. Rushed and lacked the time to show motive.

      Of course a Targaryen would go insane in their lust for power. The game of thrones consumes everyone.

      It just sucks that the show runners were like “and then she goes nuts and loses it all ok? The end. We’re gonna fuck off and make Stsr Wars now.” and it was so bad they even lost from Star Wars lol

        But she didn’t suddenly lose it.

        She wiped out cities full of people before. But it took her doing it in Westeros for people to see that it was because she was insane.

        See here’s the controversial take. I don’t agree with you at all. It was literally built up for the entire series and was the only natural conclusion. She was literally saying “I plan to break the wheel” from the start. That is not language a peaceful person uses. Her goals to begin with were those of a conqueror, and what we got was the natural end of that ambition when it crashes into reality.

        I think it was done beautifully, and the fact so many people bought into her side of things and felt betrayed is evidence of how well done it was.

        If she didn’t like a system that existed, she wanted to burn it to the ground, a person, burn them alive.

        Surely putting that person in charge couldn’t go wrong.
