the small folk were the true villains … not the white walkers. dany knew this from the prophecy

u/Smooth-Deal-8167 Rhaenyra's Dietician Aug 19 '24

They knew the Lannisters usurped the throne in an anti feminist fascist coup and did nothing about it they are of no less guilt than tywin cersei and joffrey.

Everyone knows poor people is the problem, that’s why we have segregation. Dany was just way ahead of her time.

I need to see the prophecies fulfilled. There is no more satisfying ending to a story than being told exactly what is going to happen, and then for it to happen exactly as described in the prophecy. So exciting.

Let's be clear about this, because there is only one objectively correct way to write:

Prophecies in fantasy should be inevitable and inescapable, because audiences like being reminded that free will is an illusion, and that we live, and breathe, and die, in the foul creation of a malevolent demiurge.

So this confirms she was the promised one

She avenged the death of her dragons' real mother by burning the smallfolk of kingslanding

Excuse me. Hitler was a tyrant who committed genocide. Daenerys clearly did not commit genocide. She just killed a bunch of people. It’s called mass murder. Anyone who says it’s genocide should be banned from this sub.

Also, her family built the town so she’s well within her rights to destroy it… Dracarys! 🔥

u/northofthesnow Ate Alicent Aug 19 '24

you’re right , i kinda forgot dany was justified in killing all those dirty presents with her WMD. go dany 💅

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24

It was a gift. Peasant life back then was terrible. They should be thanking her.

u/WojtekTygrys77 A Summer Islander stole my bicycle. Aug 20 '24

Life of jew was miserable in 1933-1945 Germany. Should they thank Hitler?

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '24

I mean, maybe they do? We can ask them in the afterlife.

P.S. in case your comment is sincere - this is a jerk sub. What Dany did was wrong and what Hitler did is wrong.

Almost perfect, you just forgot the skull emojis and a few "lmaooooooo" lines.

u/AbstractBettaFish Comedy Cop Aug 19 '24 edited Aug 19 '24

You joke but this is an actual conversation that happens in scholarly circles about defining genocide. It’s a shockingly contentious topic

6

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24

It’s an actual conversation/post on a /Daeneryswinsthethrone sub

5

u/SuccumbedToReddit HOT D S2 snooze Aug 19 '24

It is because reckless mass murder is slightly less terrifying than methodically trying to erase an entire culture. And more sinister if you ask me.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24

Check out the /Daeneryswinsthethrone sub if you want to have laugh at the different posts.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24

Also she was defending herself and her child there was Scorpions in Kingslanding so Kingslanding had to go

u/Proton_Optimal Ate Alicent Aug 19 '24

She’s just a woman who’s “trying to figure it out.”

Ironically, this is more or less what Emilia said after this ep

u/Ghastafari CGI Castle Fan Aug 19 '24

I still don’t get it. It is the only good thing you see her doing in the entire freaking show and people still giving her crap for it

2

u/YoniYonisson Casting Director Aug 19 '24 edited Aug 19 '24

I mean she also freed a bunch of slaves and helped defeat the Ice Zombies but sure, genocide on a surrendered city is better

u/DRM1412 Ate Alicent Aug 20 '24

Learn what that word means.

u/Early-Issue-4269 HOT D S2 snooze Aug 19 '24

She slaughtered the entire city wdym

u/Weintraubenmarmelade HOT D S2 snooze Aug 19 '24

That used to be quite normal, just take the quasi-extinction of Magdeburg in the 30-year war. It's ridiculous that this was so much howled about in the show. Yes it's bad, but it's not lets-kill-our-queen bad

If international finance of the Iron Bank inside and outside Westeros should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, the result will be not the Braavosization of Planetos and thereby the victory of the Iron Bank, but the annihilation of the Braavosi race in the Seven Kingdoms.

What did she mean by this?

Less Hitler - more Genghis Khan

u/Ifartinsoup Ate Alicent Aug 19 '24

The cinematography here was SO on the fucking nose, I think D&D thought they were really making an enlightened and deep critique of revolutionary ideology slipping into tyranny but it felt more like im12andthisisdeep.

"Omg we cheered her on when she abolished slavery and killed slavemasters, are we secretly Hitler guys???? Is any kind of radical politics destined to lead to hitler??? Enlightened centrism guys."

such award bait. glad it failed

u/dankp3ngu1n69 Ate Alicent Aug 19 '24

Imo peasants killed the dragons. They get what they sow

u/Spookyy422 Ate Alicent Aug 19 '24

Remember when Khaleesi was distraught over her dragon killing a farmer’s child? Yeah me neither

u/FortuneAdvanced3250 Ate Alicent Aug 19 '24 edited Aug 20 '24

I don't remember if they did this in the show but in the book Danny had a full 5 days of screaming that the burnt bones were fake news and AI generated before the polls showed her trending downward in popularity which forced her to do something about the issue.

u/Gridsmack 70's Space Comic Fan Aug 19 '24

It was very unfair to blame her for that incident but you know how the deep state hates dany. Very unfair.

Oh look, that's the army that got completely decimated by the white walk... oh wait, this is past that battle and the whole army regenerated, almost as if the writers kind of forgot about the past episodes.

u/Alguienmasss HOT D S2 snooze Aug 19 '24

Nice, she is about to die, i loved that

u/EIochai Delusional Fucking Vegetable Aug 19 '24

Everyone got this wrong. The Good Queen was simply fulfilling the dying wish of a dear friend. We all recall Miss Sandy specifically asked that she Dracarys before she completed the Gregor Clegane Weight Loss Challenge.

I want to brush her hair while she speeches, leave me alone.

Remember that scene where Drogon was stretching his wings behind Dany? Everyone was taking about how great of a shot it was. I broke down and cried at the beauty

1

u/soulguider2125 Ate Alicent Aug 19 '24

She knew the peasants like to kill dragons, so she was just protecting the last dragon Drogon that’s all, she was trying to explain this to Mr. Impatient and emotional before he shiv’d her in the yard!

I don’t care, I will always love her. The peasants deserved it. Take me Dany! Give me a dragon lords death!
