Writers when their villain actually has a sympathetic and just cause:
Kinda off topic, but in the midst of all the Benioff & Weiss (deserved) hate, people started saying they fucked up Daenerys’ story as well…
I just don’t get that, I thought they planted throughout the entire series that she’s genuinely unstable and might snap.
Was it poorly executed? Yes. But I don’t think they fucked up the core idea behind her character arc, which is what I saw a lot of people angry with.
If people were upset with that then they missed a lot of foreshadowing. "When a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin."
I hated it because it felt rushed. They were tying up years long storylines too quickly because they wanted a piece of the Star Wars money. This led to them rushing through way too many stories and had the end result not make sense with a lot of other storylines. They ignored personal growth of the characters we followed just to get them to the ending that B&W wanted. That was my beef anyway.
