Except of course my only point was the beheading is plenty to trigger someone into losing their shit, how far they go was'nt my point.

Nope, we only use real world rules when it comes to mythical dragons and witches

These guys are usually hilarious about to watch what should be a gem here

I was just saying that to my girl the other day as we were walking out of a raging bonfire.

You should have walked through it. No one would think you were insane

Thank you for that gif and thank you for not taking my comment too seriously!

The crazy ***** walked out of burning fire. Who does that with complete confidence unless they are fucking nut jobs. She has lost everything she ever loved in the show and now her crown was never going to be fully hers. They did build this up. People just want to write their own stories in their mind

I'm starting to go along with this line of thinking. The amount of things she has lost in just the past few episodes is crushing:

*1st dragon (child) dies trying to rescue them up north, resurrected and used against her by Night King
*2nd dragon (child) shot down for basically nothing by Euron - not even in a battle
*Missandei beheaded in front of her
*Jorah dies defending her
*Tyrion's continual strategic ****-ups
*Varys betrays the secret that will keep her from being queen, and plotting to get rid of her
*Jon's refusal to keep the secret, blabbing to family members, and no longer being in love with her (she knows he isn't)
*What I feel was one of the biggest: Tormund going on and on about "who climbs on a fucking dragon? A madman or a king!" after they beat the Night King and the dead - she did that several seasons ago, and no one seems to give a shit.

She sees the writing on the wall. After everything she's been through, and trying to control all of her worst impulses and do the "just" thing, she sees that they would crown Jon in a heartbeat and toss her aside. She is NOT a person that reacts well to being challenged or taking away her "birthright" - we've seen that over and over again throughout the series. It's entirely possible she snaps and says "**** everyone - I'm not going to have this in the end anyway, so I'm burning it all down", not giving a damn if it's Cersei or Jon or civilians or whomever. Not a stretch to me at all.

Lol people are trying to defend the white horse scene with Arya as a gift from Ned. Some people can’t just admit it was terrible.

Oh I’m sorry, that’s what normal people do even for GOT world. They foreshadowed this forever. You created your own story

Please point to the scene where she murdered innocent children. Not sure what you are talking about.

To make the quantum leap from someone walking through fire to them burning children to death is fucking stupid.

Hey, I just found another mass murderer of children because I think this dude is insane for free climbing.

Snapping implies a decision made on impulse in the heat of the moment. This was not a snap. The way it was written, Dany did not go crazy when Missandei died. She was upset but still rational like when she told Tyrion she would relent if they rang the bells.

Further, people that snap and take it out on innocent people would generally do so because they can't get to the actual cause of their pain. Like Terrorists who can't get at the leaders that they hate so they kill innocent people instead.

By contrast, Dany had the object of all her pain and rage in front of her as she knew for a fact where Cersei was and instead decides to delay punishing the one person she needs to punish so she could brutally murder children.

It would be like a Jew having Hitler in his sights and instead deciding to kill a bunch of German potato farmers while given Hitler ample time to escape.

So her snapping could make sense if they actually didn't set it up where she snaps at innocent people while Cersei is right there for the murdering. As it stands, she just got lucky that Cersei was delayed from escaping.

Saw this on another site and it is so dumb. What does her burning murderers and slavers have to do with her burning innocent children.

It would be like me wanting to put a bullet in Charles Manson's head and then people using that to say I am capable of murdering a baby. Like what in the literal **** is this dumb shit?

Maybe I didn't pay attention in film class like everyone else, but I really didn't think this episode was bad.

Yes, things have been rushed, but I kind of expected that when we found out there would only be 6 episodes. How could they possibly tie everything up and slowly develop things in about 7-8 hours? Not that I'm happy about the rapid pace, but I was prepared for it.

Seems like people are unhappy with Dany going mad so quickly... but as was stated earlier, the signs have been there for a while. Even her constantly saying "I'm nothing like my father" was kind of pointing to her being exactly like her father, imo. Also, characters repeatedley asking Tyrion, Jorah, Varys, etc. "are you sure about her?" over the years made me ask the same question.

So having some important events happen to her in a short time (death of Jorah, her dragon, Missandei), finding out who Jon was, seeing how everyone loved him and hated/feared her, being betrayed, etc. would be more than enough to ignite the madness in her. Yes, I agree it happened quickly.... but again, 6 episodes.

I think Dany burning everyone happened for 2 reasons.
1. A "**** you" to Cersei. It's like she wanted Cersei to know that she was responsible for everyone dying, before she died.
2. Dany mentioned that the people in Westeros would love Jon more than her. If the people in King's Landing found out who Jon was, they'd push for him to be in power, as would other houses in Westeros. So she killed them all and will replace them with the people that love her and don't give a shit about Jon.

Another thing people seemed to be upset about was Jamie's arc. I personally thought that was a fitting end for him. All series long, he was a terrible person who did terrible things for Cersei, but also kept doing honorable things as well. At the end of the day, he was still drawn back to Cersei. Spending his whole life doing terrible things for a woman he knew was terrible only to end up killing cersei would have been more lame, imo. This was foreshadowed too.... A couple of seasons ago, Bronn asked Jamie how he would like to die, and he said "in the arms of the woman I love." Obviously the only woman he truly loved was Cersei, and he died in her arms. Throughout the show, they would repeatedly tell each other that it was just them two and nobody else. They died alone with no one else around them. Some people were confused as to why Cersei embraced Jamie after ordering a hit on him.... Well, if the city was burning, all of your protection was dead, and you saw your lifelong lover/brother, what would you do? He was the only one in her corner at that point.


I don't think it's been as good as seasons 1-6, but I'm not upset over it either.

New idea, doubtful but.... as Dany/Drogon burned King's Landing, they never once show her up close commanding Drogon.

What if Bran warged into Drogon and did it to ensure a Dany/Jon conflict.

I am going to just blame Bran for now.... godamnit Bran.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Since they went with total destruction and no story instead of just a few plumes of dragon fire they should have made massive explosions like the sept blown up episode. Missed op right there at rivaling a transformers fighting scenes

That mother ****** makes 500000 an episode to sit in a chair and say less than 100 words an episode. They could have just used a painting of him to save money to improve the story

I also think there's a possibility Gendry ends up being King. He was legitimized by Dany, and is the son of a former king.

I think they focused on Arya being traumatized because this may be the turning point for her, and she may wanna be a lady after all.

For a couple of years now, there have been some theories that Gendry is the "prince who was promised." Being legitimized, he is technically a prince now

Oh, now you want to be in the GOT world while you trying to to say logistics of war in the real world. I cant keep up with you. I know burned down guys who dont bend the knee has no affect on their children. Only if she burns them herself. Yet again. they foreshadowed this forever and you still have issues cause you basically created your own story.

Anyone see the movie tropic thunder? Dumb and dumber are pretty much like Danny McBride
