| Faelco said: I'm bringing Tywin because I'm right now at the end of season 3 again, when Tywin gives a lesson of "Game of thrones" to everyone in the series, and shows what a smart ruthless leader is. But sure, it was the time when the characters were still smart, before Dumb&Dumber made Tyrion, Varys, Littlefinger and any other "smart player" as dumb as themselves because they were unable to write any smart plot. Dany sure could've used his lesson even earlier in the series. She was struggling with being a leader in earlier seasons. I don't know why you'd expect her to be a leader like Tywin. Who then ended up being killed while taking a dump :P I agree Tyrion is frustrating now. Varys, I don't know what he could've done differently, he was running out of time. Littlefinger got outsmarted. "He was just a man, not a dragon king"? But Dragon kings and queens are just men and women. They die just like any peasant out there. Not by burning ;) And I'm not saying that she shouldn't turn mad, I'm saying that it was handled in an embarrassing and stupid way. Several people already said ways to make this episode a lot better (like killing Rhaegal during the battle), in this state it's just garbage writing. I already addressed this couple of times. The city fell before, by the way. Cersei saying "The Red keep never fell" is just another proof of the writers' stupidity, since Ned and Robert took the Red Keep and the city at the time. Armies are destroyed in every season of the series (just saw the red wedding, with the entire north army destroyed in a matter of minutes), and the Iron Fleet was just a teleporting plot device with a random strength changing depending on the will of the writers. I'm downplaying what she did because it was stupid, unnecessary, and will lead to her death. She could have been a godlike ruler and bring her family's glory back. But because of that, she will die and her family with her. She threw everything away with that. If you admire her that much, you should also see that. I don't admire her at all. I've been discussing about her with people I watch the show with and after couple of seasons it became evident she won't be the savior of people. Or a good ruler. Signs of her being corrupted by the throne were there. I agree what she did was wrong and stupid, and she'll probably die because of it. It's strange, but not all the characters always act the way I would. Take Stannis for example, man did he royally fuck up.. Nobody ever destroyed King's Landing though. Armies destroyed isn't really comparable. I agree about the teleporting Iron Fleet, we were laughing about it during last season. It will surely happen in the books, but it will be handled way better, with a real evolution and real reasons and not just 10 seconds of "look at her face, she's mad now". Because no, like I said before, "they don't love me" doesn't hold up at all, neither does "if they're not with me, they're against me". It's BS invented by drunk writers who surely wrote the massacre first, and then asked themselves "Crap, we didn't justify that at all, what kind of excuse can she say at the beginning of the episode?". Ok so Angelus went in depth explaining all that went against her but you aren't satisfied. This is going nowhere, let's just wait for the last episode. And for the dragon fire, that's what I meant. People who receive dragon fire die. Then why did Arya survive at the end, when everyone else around her died? Once again, garbage writing. |
Are you sure she survived?
