LEAH omg have you seen the whatculture video on youtube about the most devastating tv deaths of 2019?! 3 guesses who took the top spot. they give our Queen her proper respect (minus a brief “it was how it was handled, not necessarily the arc itself” with which i totally disagree). just them acknowledging how devastating it was to lose such an ICON was somewhat cathartic. *trigger warning for a quick clip of THAT scene if you don’t want to see it
I don’t really watch any videos on youtube that have to deal with got because I know eventually I’ll run into someone who agrees with the ending and I don’t have patience for that kind of nonsense.
First off, I will never accept the fact that they took an abuse survivor, a rape survivor, a domestic abuse survivor, an ex slave, a young girl who survived because she believed in herself, a girl who just wants to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and turned her into someone who kills thousands just because of some bells, and inevitably gets murdered by her lover, the last person she trusts and loves. No. I won’t ever accept it. Anyone who says that the ending was bad because it was rushed really just don’t get it. If they this ‘arc’ of her going mad from the beginning, why didn’t they implant it more into earlier seasons?
You could be the devils advocate here and say, “They did!” and show times when she was angry and vouched to ‘kill them all’, times when she was unforgiving, you could blame it on her heritage, but then I would turn that around and ask you, “Why didn’t Jon go mad?”, “Why didn’t Tyrion go mad?” “Why didn’t Arya go mad?” “Why didn’t Sansa go mad?”
Up until 8.05, Daenerys Motherfucking Targaryen had done nothing that was worse than any other character, in fact, I’d say she was the one who gave more than any other character.
Show!Daenerys executes the masters who kidnapped, tortured and crucified 160+ children to send her a message while on her way to Meereen. Do I give a fuck? Nope.
When Tyrion used Wildfyre to brutally burn his enemies in the war against Stannis, no one blinked an eye. Not even when Davos expressed the fact that Tyrion was the main factor that killed his son. No one blinked an eye when Tyrion, in a fit of rage and despair, expressed the desire to poison and murder the entire population in Kings Landing. No one blinked an eye when Robb Stark, in a fit of rage and despair, expressed the desire to ‘kill them all’, after learning about his fathers death. No one blinked an eye when Jon Snow beheaded a man, a man who was literally begging for mercy mind you, because he refused to follow his orders.
Show!Daenerys learns that Hizdars father was one of the masters she crucified, and that he actually fought against the murder of the children (something that doesn’t happen in the books), and she graciously allows Hizdar to bury his father honorably so that he can go into the afterlife.
Show!Daenerys executes Randyl and Dickon Tarly, men who actively went against their liege who they were pledged to, helped end the Tyrell line, brutally masacered the entire Tyrell army, and also insulted Daenerys’ + her armies + Tyrion! She gave them a choice. She didn’t have to give him a choice. The punishment for treason is automatic death. Ned Stark didn’t get this opportunity, those who desert the nights watch are not given this opportunity, Daenerys didn’t have to give them a choice, yet she did. She offered, “Join me or die.” and they chose death.
Sansa and Arya both executed a man who abused them, used them and nearly plotted them against one another, a man who was begging for mercy.
I went on a slight tangent about the double standards but they really do annoy the living daylights out of me. It’s just all hypocrisy. She’s not allowed to breathe. She’s not allowed to do anything. She’s villified for the exact same things everyone else does meanwhile they all get a free pass. Miss me with that bullshit.
