given me ANY reason to give a shite about Bran.


That and any legitimate reason for Dany flipping and going full genocide after she won the war. Jon stops giving the dick and suddenly she's Hitler

I mean they did give her legitimate reasons for going crazy.

She gets to Westeros.

3 of her allies are almost immediately taken out because Tyrian and Varys were out maneuvered by Cersei and Jamie.

Sucks, but hey they were new allies so it's not the worst loss although she did lose her fleet.

However, she then meets Jon Snow - a King of the North who won't bend the knee.

She falls for Jon, goes to save him from the Night King. While saving Jon she loses one of her dragons - who she consistently called her children.

She also realizes that the undead army is more immediately important than taking the Iron Throne. She then comes to help Winterfell by supplying the bulk of the forces only to receive a cold welcome from the Stark sisters.

In the fight against the Night King she loses almost all of her Unsullied and Dothraki.

I can't recall if it's right before or right after the fight but she learns that Jon Snow has a better claim to the throne than she does and she is worried about her life's work suddenly being usurped.

One of her best friends Jorah "Lord Friend Zone" Mormont is also killed in the fight with the undead.

She flies back to Dragonstone victorious but severely weakened only to lose another dragon and another fleet.

Another good friend Melisandre is also captured and beheaded in front of her by Cersei who had already refused to help fight the undead and refused to acknowledge her claim to the throne.

All of that combined makes it easy to see why she would go into a rage.

But as mentioned above it was done in so few episodes it felt as if her descent was lightening fast.
