Was it war that made him grow so fast, she wondered, or the crown they had put on his head?

Lady Catelyn, I… you do not understand, Jaime… he saved me from being raped when the Bloody Mummers took us, and later he came back for me, he leapt into the bear pit empty-handed… I swear to you, he is not the man he was.

“D&D; might be hacks, but they aren’t stupid. They could have easily made her rampage make sense, in any dozens of ways. But that was not the point. The point was to make her as monstrous as possible, for one reason only; Tyrion and Jon Snow have to remain sympathetic. Daenerys’ murder has to be seen as totally morally justified, even when it involves having a victim of physical and sexual abuse rise to great power only to be lured into a false sense of security and murdered by the man she loves in a moment of physical intimacy. She goes on a nonsense rampage, so she can then soap opera die at the hands of a sympathetic hero, by way of the worst of tropes. You’ve gone dark Phoenix. You’ve become too powerful. “It’s so sad what I have to do to the woman I love, but it has to be done.” “It’s for your own good, don’t you see?” “I had to do it.” “Look what you made me do, Daenerys.” “I had to do it.” “Look what you made me do.” Her actions have to be indescribably monstrous, because the narrative has to justify the violence Tyrion and Jon Snow do to her body, while keeping these characters sympathetic to the audience. And that’s all there is to it.”

— Lindsay Ellis, “The Last of the Game of Thrones Hot Takes”
