Having them dive in head first with very little depth to the reasoning isn't good writing either.

Dany iSnt the same when she arrived in Meereen as she is when she leaves. She’s not the same when she arrives in Westeros She’s not the same when shite goes south in weateros.


Like I’ve said Dany is an attention whore with a messiah complex that has shown a propensity for violence toward people who don’t immediately bend to her will and kiss her feet. This is her mind set before the people of Westeros don’t see her as some sort of savior, all her advisors either die, plot against her, or make bad decisions, her most trusted friend is killed, two dead dragons, the man she loves reveals he has a better claim to what her entire existence has been about, the man she loves won’t give her the dick, and then seeing the people she wished would worship her running toward the family that took what she feels is rightfully hers.

Yea that’s not enough to make someone with a family history of fricked up behavior and a propensity for violence snap. Everything I’ve stated was in past seasons plus every episode this season leading up to the “SNAP”.

Like i said if someone is on the ends of cliff you just need to push them.

You done need them to Slowly walk down to the low road.

They put her on the end. She walked a fine line, and got away with a lot we’d call brutal because it was bad people.

Comparing what we're being given with this last episode to good writing kills any credibility you have.

This is 37 minutes of a guy shitting on this episode, but I'd love to hear your argument against any of it.

95% of it happened in episode 4 or 5. In fact, the only specific examples that you gave all happened in the last two episodes.

Tell me all of the people that legit were expecting this before it actually happened. D&D went with the most unexpected thing, because... well.... it worked so well with Arya and the NK.

ETA: And now people are rushing to go back through the series and find whatever justification they can to say "see, look at this foreshadowing." It's weak. If all that foreshadowing was so obvious, why was almost no one predicting it?

How about you actually go back and read some of the posts that were made earlier. More than one person has addressed this already.

You dont think people could find something argue against a 37 minute video of a guy hating on one episode?

This board is pretty divided on a lot of things. Im pretty sure I could find quite a bit of things to argue against. #1 being its a 37 minute video.

It's a show about dragons and ice zombies, anything is possible.

Having that actually happen in the way it did was fricking dumb.

So at best it is weak evidence found in hindsight to try to justify such a ridiculous decision?

Are you gonna argue that Missandei death, Rhaegal s death, Jon’s “betrayal” and her advisors starting to turn on her isn’t enough to push her over the edge?

You havent heard much from the Littlefinger is still alive group, I dont think you'll hear many people admitting to this.

Nope. Just that having it all happen in episode 4 and then having her commit genocide in episode 5 because of it is terrible writing.

Ironically, this is the only thing I've argued at all.
