I feel like asking for a demonstration of a personal attack is in itself a personal attack. Therefore, this post counts.Zombie Jon Snow said:PatAg said:

Yeah, I mean that's clearly what they've decided they're going for. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
The city has surrendered. If she's that hell bent on instilling fear, accept the surrender, and then kill every single person in the city who fought to defend it.
There are a thousand steps between 'I need to instill fear' and 'I need to kill everyone in this city' and she didn't take any of them.
I just think it's lazy after seven years of all of the tiny steps her character has taken, that in her final act she's reduced to just 'well she's crazy now.'
(Nevermind, nobody else predicted that ending either.)
This is a ridiculous argument. Nobody saw Frey killing Robb, yet they laid the groundwork for it. Just because it surprised you doesn't mean the signs weren't there.
And the signs have been there.
Frey was shown as this arrogant man who was angry at constantly being looked over until he was needed. He invited the Starks and agreed to side against the Lannister's in exchange for Robb marrying his daughter, assuring a Frey in royalty in the north. Robb decided that love was more important than his honor as king, and Frey was pissed about it. He pretended to be ok with just marrying the daughter to Edmure.
Yet we have spent 8 seasons with Dany. She is one of the main characters. We know her well enough to know that he is very unlikely to go on random a civilian killing spree. So if they were going to make her do so, then they needed to show us more on why she would do it. A lot more than "well she's a Targaryen" or "it wasn't enough" (as D&D stated).
And they have, as shown with multiple examples over the past 10 pages.
Well I disagree.
That's not what I said. No need to make up my arguments, I have been telling you them for the past 10 pages, you can read what I actually did say. You aren't going to change my opinion, and it's obvious from this thread nobody will ever change yours.
That's fine, I disagree with them too. Although I think "much" is too big of descriptor for the size of your group. Every casual fan I've talked to so far has talked about how awesome the episode was last night.
Yep there are far more positives on here then negatives - not so with E3 or E4 they were much more negative. Of course he also repeatedly said a million died until he was corrected. Tends to exaggerate.
Outside of here - my entire text message thread group (9 people) I've had since season 3 are all in awe but nobody complained it was out of character. A few loved it, a few were stunned but still on board.
One of them, my daughter (20) - who loves Dany and the dragons said:
"WOWWWWWWW. Yeah that was what I've expected from Thrones all along!! There is my baby"!!!!
so proud. lol.

How is one genocidal before committing genocide?aTmAg said:I never said it was exactly like real world history. But in 100% of the cases I can think of, genocidal maniacs were obviously genocidal maniacs LONG before they actually conducted genocide.Zombie Jon Snow said:aTmAg said:
So I read all of those, and there isn't a single instance of her killing civilians for the hell of it like she did yesterday. Retribution is VASTLY different than killing civilians after the battle is over (by the million).
Lincoln executed 38 indians as retribution and lead a civil war that killed more Americans than any other war in history. Yet when the war was over, he didn't kill a million people.
lmao
yep. this is exactly like real world US history.
damn i wish i had watched Lincoln instead. what was i thinking watching a brutal fantasy show i could have watched a docudrama instead.

she's prettier than anyone on that show - but i could be biased - and an actress.
She actually looks at the show differently than anyone anyway- she looks at it from acting perspective and I know she would have loved to be Dany in that scene for example. Actors want substance and drama - good or bad.

At least for me personally, I'm upset about WHY she did it, not that she actually did it. do not think that they did a good job establishing her going down this path. Yes, they beat us over the head with her losing her inner circle (Jorah, Missandei, Jon telling Sansa, etc.) but I don't feel like that is the type of subtle, slow build that we have come to know from Game of Thrones. The writing is not as tightly packed and subtle as it once was.cbr said:No way, even 4 was nowhere near that bad.daggertx said:

I just am of the opinion that anyone hating her burning everything is just failing to understamd the entire point of the whole show.
