Here’s the thing about Ep. 05, I’m actually all on board for Daenerys becoming the Mad Queen, I think both George R.R. Martin and the show runners did a good job laying the groundwork for that to happen. HOWEVER, that being said I have a huge problem with Daenerys burning innocent civilians AFTER they have surrendered. I can see her flying off to the Red Keep and burning that to the ground and inadvertently killing the civilians sheltered within the castle walls, I can see her burning all the Lannister soldiers after they’ve surrendered but her just being like “fuck it” and destroying the city and people she wanted to rule makes no sense. And I understand “madness” doesn’t make sense but let’s use her father, King Aerys, for an example; the main reason he wanted to “burn them all” was because he was LOSING and he didn’t want those who betrayed him to get to rule over anything, “let them be king of the ashes” (there’s also the part where he thought it would turn him into a dragon allowing him to ultimately win the war-which is where the insanity comes in but again is rooted in a rational concept of dragon/targaryen lore). Daenerys at this point had decisively won the battle, the citizens had never posed a threat to her directly, they were just under Cersei’s oppressive rule and fearful of something unknown and potentially worse. She has stated numerous times throughout the books and the show she will destroy her enemies and take what is hers through fire and blood but she had already done those things. So what was her motivation for destroying a city that was already hers? Why kill her own subjects at random when up until this point (in this very episode) she saw that “mercy is our strength”. To have her devolve so quickly and just murder innocent people at random seemingly because winning wasn’t enough, that more people had to suffer for her to feel justified in her own losses? That makes absolutely no sense and flies in the face of everything they had built her character to be. 

QUEEN OF THE ASHES

Why Game of Thrones ending in 2019 is ridiculous, toxic and send a bad message?

• cocks are important to rule 
• women who have desires and ambitions are evil and mad
• rape makes you strong and love kills you 
• women in power are only good rullers if a man grants power to her and she asked nicely
• women can’t handle power, men can’t handle love
• men doing revenge is  natural and heroic, women, aspired to revenge, are heartless mad and insane that need to die
• a powerful women is a threat

During season 7 Dany should have marched with Dorne and Highgarden armys into Kings Landing, without using her dragons because she didnt want to be the queen of ashes and she want to be loved by the people.

She would put Cersei imprisoned because she didnt want to kill a pregant women, Mountain and Qyburn would have flee to plot a way to get Cersei back on the throne. After getting the throne Dany has to deal with some Lords rejecting her, with the people of Kings Landing scared of her dragons, some debts and she start getting bit by bit paranoid with this problems. But Jorah, Missandei and Tyrion help her.

Jon would go to Kings Landing to talk and meet with the new Queen so she can help the fight against the Night King. The meet they fall in love in the course of the season. She looses Viserion to the NK. Dany joins the fight, leaving Missandei and Tyrion in charge of the throne and KL.

In Season 8 during the fight Jorah dies to save her (that exact scene), then when Winterfell is saved, she discovers Jon is a Targaryen, Sansa is ploting against her with Varys and all the northers like Jon and follows Jon. Then she receives the news about Cersei having Missandei and Tyrion on prison, and that Cersei with some Lords have taken the throne again and killed the Tyrells and the Martell rullers. 

Dany tells Jon that she fought for the throne and against tyrants all her life, and she will not lose the throne or her goal only because Jon is suddenly a Targaryen or because Cersei. She will take back whats her with fire and blood no matter the cost. Jon tell her the North will join her fight but rejects her love because the are related. But she tells him shes pregnant.

At the beginning of the fight Missandei is killed in front of KL and Dany, the fight starts, the surrender bells happen but its a Cersei trick to kill the dragons on the ground, when a scorpian kills Rhaegal Dany in rage flees and burn the city. When she realizes what she has done she cries to Jon, begs for mercy, gives up the throne, tells Jon that he is the right ruller, and goes to Dragonstone to be exiled until the child is born. Dies like Lyanna telling Jon “you have to protect him”.

The King and Queen that should have been…
