cruel? yes towards the nobility? yes evil? no


Cruel certainly. Evil borderline at least.

towards innocent civilians?



She certainly has considered it before and now with no one to check her and here cruelty to nobles we are supposed to be shocked when she takes it another step?

We all ignored the fact she was doing something pretty horrible because she was doing it to bad people.


it's funny how everything bad that shes done gets ignored until she burns an entire city to the ground.

Were they supposed to bow before or after she razed the city without ever getting off of her dragon?

So time began when the bells wrang?

In Dany’s mind they had a chance to submit before, and didn’t.

Not just Cersei but the little people too.

It's funny how you keep claiming this, yet nobody has ignored any of her acts and they've been discussed multiple times.

even the Lannister army submitted to her authority
With a help by the biggest threat to her authority (Jon) and only when they had no other choice in the moment. And besides they still resisted her until they had no choice even though she had a dragon and gave them that option. So I thought it was clear that her message not only to show just how powerful she is to the entire continent but to show that any attempt to stand against her will be met with a swift end, no judge or jury required.

her previous acts are downplayed. that's all im saying. she literally vowed to burn entire cities down. and then you have people that are shocked because she did it.

Crucify innocent nobles and commit war crimes against nobles and nobody cares but she needs to kill a peasant for her turn to be believable

nobody seems to care about the bad stuff Jamie did. But because everybody loved his character arc and he had redeeming qualities, nobody cared.

So, where exactly do we go from here to where she is slaughtering innocent civilians in a city that had nothing to do with the fighting, and had surrendered to her.

People on this very site have called her an idiot and terrible ruler for years and now all the sudden this is the first time she's done something stupid?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.
