Missandei: Did you do it? Dany: Yes. Missandei: What did it cost? Dany: Everything.

"Starks just run in straight lines" omg 😂😂😂

Cersei: "I'm the most vicious queen in all of Westeros." Dany: "Hold my Starbucks."

I think the reason they didn't show Dany's face when she started burning the city is they were trying to show that she had lost her humanity. She was just the dragon in that moment.

0:11 "They're finally gonna liberate Kings Landing!!" Me: Oh my sweet summer Child.

"Be a dragon" Dany: "Olenna sends her regards"

10:50 "no, this is some shit you dont understand... this is hip-hop" hahahahah that killed me

The episode where Pat get's to say, "I told you!" for a full 30 minutes, lmao.

Kinvara called it way back in Season 6, Episode 5. "The dragons will purify nonbelievers by the thousands, burning their sins and flesh away."

"But why?" was my whole reaction to this too. 🤣🤣🤣

At the end of the day, Targaryens are known for horror. But Olenna Tyrell didn't exactly help this ship along. "They won't obey you unless they fear you." "You're a dragon. Be a dragon"

Thank you Rory McCann for the best character in history....THE BLOOOODY HOOOOUND😭😂

the mirroring shots between Arya and Clegane aka. choosing Life and choosing Revenge were so powerful!

Dany was alone, for the first time in her life, truly alone, with no one she can trust, with no one she loved....and you know what maester Aemon once said: “A Targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing”

'Why are they killing the civilians?' Ask season 3 Jorah: "There's a beast in every man, and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand."

RIP to a fookin legend, SANDOR “THE BLOODY HOUND” CLEGANE.

You can also tell that after season 6 they completely gave in to fan fiction. You can totally tell the difference between the early seasons. It felt more “Hollywood” after season 6

Missandei: "DRACARYS" audience: "YAAAS QUEEN, SLAYYY YAAAAS" Dany: *actually goes through with it* audience: shockedpikachufaceHD.jpeg

“This is hip hop” 😂😂😂😂 yo Chris kills me with these one liners lmao

Starks just run in a straight line 😂 Damn 😝 In memory of Rickon 👀

I took it like... She wanted a fight after Cersei killed Missandai, she was already oozing with rage and anger and she needed to let off some steam... And when the bells rang she just wasn't satisfied. And that's the thing about Greyworm. He was in love with the woman Cersei killed. He wanted revenge. Both of them wanted the battle. Almost like as if the battle was an excuse for her to kill as many people as she can.

"If you think this is going to have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention" Ramsay Bolton Fits this season very well

LOL, this whole video is just one smorgasbord of delicious quotes: "Go park Drogon somewhere safe!" "She went to tthe Prometheus school of running away from things." "The whole Stark family did."

Dany said "let it be fear." She decided to punish the folk of Kings Landing. Still processing the episode 2 days later. Definitely enjoyed it though👏

“Liberate” kings landing yea thats one way to put it 😂💀

LMFAO even pat who usually enjoys seeing some chaos and characters dying was like "Shes still going?"

Them: She would never do this! They just ruined her entire character arc! Me: **Robert Baratheon laugh**

I like the one comment, come on George finish the books man.

“She would never do this in the past...” And in the past she was loved, and worshiped. If they don’t love her, they burn. They always have.

Mickey : OMG! World war 3 is happening Navi : it's okay if it happened BEFORE THE BELL RING

Who said she was angry? She said in the first half: "Let it be fear then."

HBO offered D&D 10 episodes and they declined.. said they can do it in 6

damn the amount of comments here defending this shit really got me thinkin

Daenaerys has absolutely been crafted to be on a knife's edge of morals/megalomania from the very first season of the show, and the very first book in the series. To have her just get what she wants and still be a 'good person' would feel like a betrayal of everything Game of Thrones is. This isn't the kind of story where the good guy wins or even stays the good guy. It never has been. Someone said she was in control and still cared about the citizens prior to her break when staring at the Red Keep, but she was not in control of her emotions. Ever since she went North, the show made a point to show her increasing frustration with the people of Westeros, when they didn't want to bend the knee to her. That frustration and anger at being met with such opposition only grew. In this same episode, Tyrion begged her to reconsider burning everything, and her reaction was 'Meh, my mercy will come after. When the next generation is free.' She had already given up on Tyrion's advice and the people of King's Landing. In her mind, she'd worked so hard to get to Westeros, for this dream of being a savior, and the people there still didn't love her. The tragedy here, is that like Dany feared, once the gears started moving in favor of Jon OVER Dany, a lot of us saw this coming and knew it was going to fall apart for Daenerys. Dany's story to me, is a more human and tragic look at the development of a tyrant. We had always seen tyrants, prior to Game of Thrones, from an outside perspective or their own AFTER their descent. This is the first time we've seen it happen to someone we could like and understand. That's why it punches you in the gut. Not because it's character assassination. This murderous 'fire and blood' rage was always in Daenerys, and she finally got pushed too far. She felt alone, she felt like all of the citizens hated her. In her mind she had no reason to love the people of King's Landing, and in her battle lust madness, they too became threats to her reign. It's fucked up, it's terrible, but it is true to what has been built in her to this point. Missandei wasn't the only thing to push her over the edge, but she was the last real straw. That's my take on it anyway, though I do think had there been more episodes or another season, a lot of audiences like yourselves, would have felt that this progression was more organic, and it wouldn't feel so abrupt. Because it IS abrupt, due to the rushed pace of Season Eight. In that, HBO definitely did us all, and the characters, a disservice.

Markeeta in denial. I love it

Dany turning into the Mad Queen has been foreshadowed since the very beginning of the show. The problem is that her actual turn feels rushed because we got 6 episodes instead of 10 this season, so we don't really get to spend much time watching Dany's sanity deteriorate. The concept of Dany turning into a villain is good, but the execution leaves to be desired due to a lack of buildup.

Most of the Normies apparently weren't paying attention to the past seven seasons. All the signs were there that Dany is utterly ruthless and on the brink of madness. Gray shirt in the middle is the only one who gets it.

"You burned a little girl alive!" "I only do what my Lord commands. " "If he commands you to burn children, your Lord is evil" Ser Davos Seaworth and Melisandre s6. Want to guess who's evil now?

15:08 NOT THE OBERYN That's PTSD right there bro

So i just got a word from westeros. Dani meant to hit the stop button instead she hit the replay button. According to her spokesperson, Dani's main target was supposed to be Cersi. She sincerely apologizes for Drogo's mulfunction & promises a better outcome for episode 6

This is what I’ve been expecting from Dani for a while.. I’m surprised so many people were surprised. I mean look at her past actions *objectively* , and this actually does continue her arc Edit: I mean the episodes have been rushed as hell, but the basic plot is pretty much what I thought it would be

16:52 I think she's (Arya) going to kill cersei Bricks : Hold My Cement please!

King Robert was right all along....

She has become paranoid, She lost her 2 babies, Ser Jorah, Missandei & all the people she trusted before betrayed her = Mad Queen

“ Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin and the world holds its breath." Everyone thought Daenerys was the right side of the coin, but she wasn’t, Jon was.

There were SEVERAL points where Dany was about to ''awaken the dragon'' but the people around her convinced her otherwise. At this point, she had nothing and noone.

"She would have never done this before". She already wanted to destroy the slave cities (with the innocents) but was stopped by Tyrion.This is no different, except that this time she didn't listen.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, napalm bombing Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, weekly “collateral damage” from drone strikes, missile strikes in Iraq... dragon fire on King’s Landing. Breaking the wheel, “fighting for freedom”

"I don't want to be the queen of ashes" ... - Dany "I spoke too soon".

Holy shit Robert was right! Robert Baratheon was always right.

You guys were predicting MAD QUEEN for weeks and now that she's there you guys are so surprised.

Damn I really thought we were all on the same page with what kind of a leader Dany is and how this was gonna go down. The moment Missandei said dracarys and got executed I knew that Dany was gonna go ham on King's Landing😩😐

Dany threatens to burn down Qarth in season 2, crucifies people at random in season 3, executes people she admits she doesn’t know who are innocent and guilty in season 5, is barely talked out of burning the Slaver Cities in season 6, burns prisoners alive in season 7, is talked out of burning King’s Landing in season 7 and 8 repeatedly, and everyone is surprised when she finally burns King’s Landing....?

"This is hip-hop" damnit chris lmao

I just think it's funny how the people who rooted for Dany and were totally ignoring her red flags and now they way this was stupid and out of character when, if they paid attention to her character, they should know it really isn't and her "fall from grace" mirrors how her father turned into who he was in the end.

How can you be surprised? She always chooses violence to resolve her conflicts; since season 1.

The sickest brother and sister duo in history is now done. Kudos to Lena and Nikolai for bringing them to life

Man, I guess nobody gets the main point of the massacre. When the bells rang Dany realized she hasn't "won" anything. No back up of the people, no claim to the throne, so she chooses terror. Dany doing things for terror is in line with her whole character arc. She ruthlessly burned thousands of men in uniform, slavers, oppositions. There is not THAT MUCH more necessary to run amok. It's just the state of denial most people are in. Also, even history told us so many times how ruthless the "good guys" can be: The completely unnecessary destruction of Dresden in WW2 (flames!) or the nuclear strikes of the americans. That is all GoT is about. So sad no one seems to get it.

I feel like pat is the only one who saw this coming and is perfectly fine with dany having to be taken down now.😄

The thing is Danny was never “supposed” to be “the good guy.” Lol I don’t get why people keep saying she’s supposed to be good or that her character arc is gone. Remember that she’s been burning people alive for seasons now. She’s been wanting to massacre entire groups of people since the first city she conquered. They’ve set her up for becoming the mad queen from the very beginning. The only thing the show messed up on was in the EXECUTION. Way too rushed and there was no clear character objectives in the writing. I think once they ran out of the source material of the books they really didn’t know what to do with it.

I agree that this was badly rushed and it needed at least two more episodes of character developement. But in all seriousness, Dany burning them all was meant to happen. Season 1: Burns the witch who killed Drogo Season 2: Threatens to burn Qarth and eventually burns the wizard in the House of the Undying Season 3: Burns Astapor Season 4: Takes over Meeren Season 5: Burns nobles in Meeren Season 6: Burns the Khals in Vaes Dothrak Season 7: Burns Lannister soldiers and wights beyond the wall Season 8: *surprised Pikachu* Once again, I can agree that it felt rushed in this season but it certainly didn't come out of nowhere and it isn't out of character. As Dany said... *"Alright then... then fear it shall be."*

The reason Dany didn't eat was because she knew Varys was poisoning her food

Normies: “I’m glad she didn’t have to burn children” GOT Writers: you sure about that

Reasons (off top of my head) why everyone should have seen Dany heel turn coming: 1) No emotion or care when her brothers face melted off from crown and killing him (S1!) 2) Loss of her love Drogo 3) Loss of 2-3 of her kids (dragons) 4) Loss of Jorah 5) Loss of Meisende 6) Loss of her armies (unsullied & Dothraki) 7) Ruthlessness in Meereen 8) Ruthless killing of House Tarly (father and son) 9) No remorse telling Sam of killing father and brother 10) She has never shown remorse in killing anyone 11) Betrayed by Varys 12) Betrayed by Tyrion 13) Betrayed by John Snow 14) Turned down TWICE by the new person she loved John Snow 15) Seeing how everyone around her LOVED and respected John Snow after the battle of winterfell but nothing towards her 16) She’s Targaryen, it’s sort of in her blood... It felt rushed due to less episodes, however it was definitely not out of nowhere and out of character.

Mad Queen was inevitable GRRM did say its the same ending that will be in the books and that the burning of Kings Landing is a key event.

I dont know how you guys are this surprised that Dany went full Targarayan. The plot was rushed but who didnit call this from season 3 ?

26:30 Dany only showed compassion to the slaves because when she liberated them they loved her completely. In Westeros people aren't won over that easily and she couldn't handle the fact that people were not bending the knee at the mere sight of her.

"melisandre i think you have a role to play" helping the nightking past the wall, destroy king's landing, what else ?

I’ve known dany was the mad queen since she arrived in Westeros, she’s used to people loving her so she never has to burn down cities but literally no one in Westeros liked her so it makes since she burned kings landing. If you look at the previous seasons it’s always been love me, respect me, bend the knee, or burn.

Danny acted exactly how I thought she was always going to act. Especially after she started losing dragons.

They didn’t undo anything about Dany. Every time she gained something it was through violence. Without her advisors keeping her in line she’s gone power crazy.

There is NO PROBLEM with the storyline. Only an optimistic fanboy/girl would fail to see that this was always on the table for Danaerys. The problem is with HBO's insistence on making the last 2 seasons 'LIKE MOVIES' instead of having standard 10 episode seasons, which would have helped build up the story nicely. GoT went Hollywood.

The bells ring and she realizes she'll never rule this city, their loyalty is with john and john doesnt want her. She had nothing to win and nothing to lose.

PAT IS THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE OF THE GROUP AND I LOVE IT.

It's funny how everybody seems to say; 'wow Dany the bad guy- that's a twist.' When I'm like. 'You really didn't know?''

Dany season 7: "I don't want to be queen of the ashes" Dany season 8: "lol dragon go brrrr"

King Robert said this would happen in episode 2 of season 1. This didn't come out of nowhere. Dany is ruthless. In Mereen, she crucified every master and ended up killing innocents. In Mereen, the stakes weren't the Iron Throne and the former slaves loved her because she freed them. In Westeros, she is a conquerer. No one likes her. Everyone wants her gone. She was willing to go to war with the North to make them submit to her rule. Dany has always acted rash when emotional. She lost everyone that cares about her besides Grey Worm and has now lost 2 of her children. Westeros will never love her. She is alone. That is why she decides that they must fear her. Also, she made that decision on days without sleep. Dany has changed over the past few seasons. When was the last time she actually was helping the common people? She kept strict rule over Mereen and oppressed their culture. Dany wants to make the world a better place and to do that she has come to the conclusion that the old world must be burned down first.

Guys she literally said all she has left is fear. Westeros doesn't love her. The only way to take it is with fear.

"I will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground!" Who said this all the way back in season 2? A. Dany B. Dany C. Dany D. All of the Above

It did make sense, Danny chose fear, she was all alone in a place where no one loved her and has the throne she's been fighting for her whole life being threatened by a true air that everyone loves who also rejected her love. So consumed by anger , sadness, frustration and fear over betrayal from people closest to her and watching people she loves and her dragon die. When she heard that bell she knew the only way to get that throne was through fear. Then no one would dare question her rule. Could it have been executed better? Ya probably, but i personally don't feel it was necessarily bad writing. Although this season does feel a little rushed but I'm still enjoying it.

It is established that Dany values being in power more than her love for people. I don't think she ever truly cared for the innocents, helping them was convenient for her and it allowed her to come to power and gather a following. In Westeros, she realized that she would never be loved by the people and envied this. Yes, it was obviously an overreaction to torch the city, but I don't think it was ridiculously out of her character. It always bothered me how she was unphased by the mad king's actions and was still pissed at Jaime for killing him, even after she was told the story.

Its funny how people only accept the bad writing of this season when their favorite character gets fked over

"there goes her entire character arch" Well no if you actually read the books and watch the show with a brain, shes shown for years she had this inside her, her advisors kept her in line.

It’s not boring, Marketa. You’re just a Dany stan.

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

You guys dont understand: that brick that hit Cersei was the Valonquar

People: Dany why did you burn all the innocent people Dany: I said ROOT & STEM!

She already said it before, in season2 "When my dragons are grown, we will burn cities to the ground, etc"

Pat said it right, "Jon that's your girl, go kill her". He called it.

Dany was always going to be the mad Queen. Her character wasn't assassinated, they just rushed the progression.

Pat annoys the hell out of me sometimes This time Pat was the only one I enjoyed, and the rest of the normies were acting like this is a Disney movie.

Dany becoming the Mad Queen is endgame for both the show and books. It’s been hinted at since season 1 Her fall was inevitable

Dany at Quarth: when my Dragons are grown, we will lay your city to waste. Dany at Yunkai: do what I want or I will kill you all. Dany at Meereen: * crucifies 400 people without checking * Dany at Westeros: I know nobody asked me to come over, but you're mine, if you disagree, I excecute you. But I'm not a tyrant, so it's K. Dany fans at King's Landing: ThIs Is CoMplEtElY oUt of hEr ChARacter!

Dany was never a just person, only in her own mind. Her advisors through the time were the ones stopping her from going full Targaryen. Everyone should have seen this since season 3. She always overreacted. She's vengeful, jealous and full of spite.

Y'all: Why? Why? Why? "I'll take what is mine, fire and blood."

"Dude it feels like they just undid....everything...." Oh how right you are lmao

Destruction of characters this season was unmatched
