In the longer interview GRRM says he spent literally days in story meetings with D&D, detailing the end of the story......it's not like they're just making everything up from a brief summary., though. I mean, nobody knows how the books will turn out, but if they are wildly different it is probably because GRRM deviates from the outline he gave to the showrunners. Like yeah, maybe there's a different or better reason for Dany to go apeshit on King's Landing......but I doubt it's going to be something out of left field.
Ohh shit. The red keep built her frenzy meter up and her head exploded. Makes sense.
This is pretty much where I am. I could see her losing her shit and destroying the Red Keep but what exactly was the point of burning down the entire city you just spent 8 seasons trying to live in?
nahh. they kind of ignored it in the show until this season because people like dany. it's like how bronn is still in the show because he's popular.
This will be a tough show to rewatch now. Especially knowing where Jaime's character goes and the White Walker plotline
Yeah, we got hints of we madness literally in the last two episodes, that's it. This season they decided "she's the mad queen, y'all" so they started going heavy as fuck with foreshadowing an event that erases the entire point of her 7 season long journey.
People who fancy themselves heroes based on divine right, and only execute "altruism" on their terms are not actually heroes. This is why Jon has always made more sense as the hero than Dany because he grew up with zero expectation.
Were any of those other situations battles in which she had already won, and decided to kill a bunch of innocent people?
Not sure if this has been answered yet, still going through the thread and reactions, but I saw it as the remaining wildfire that the Mad King had planted around King's Landing during Roberts Rebellion going off thanks to Drogon.
That's kind of what I mean though. The Harrenhall towers were melted in an extended dragon siege. It took a concerted, extended effort to lay waste.
Name one project not Game of Thrones-related where she's "a fantastic actress."
That pissed me off.
I also agree here. I don't know if we've ever seen Dany kill people who didn't deserve it. It's possible that I just don't remember. But that would be foreshadowing.
