It was like watching 2 different shows. 6-7 seasons of hbo greatness. 1-2 seasons of Cliffs Notes
If you want to have Dany flip out you could have done at least a few things to actually make it plausible.
.
1) Watches and does not bat an eye when her own brother is being burned alive by molten gold.
2) Makes a deal with the merchants - dragons for Unsullied, then goes back on the deal and butchers every last one of them.
3) Crucifies the Wise Masters of Mereen
4) Burns the Dothraki Lords alive when she could have easily just walked out the door.
5) Annihilates every single man in the Lannister army during the attack on the loot train
6) Murders Randall and Dickon Tarly when she could have taken them prisoner.
7) Tries to put Jamie Lannister on trial for murdering her psycho dad when he shows up at Winterfell
Yeah she wasn't merciful but she at least had a reason for the previous murders. She slaughtered thousands of innocents that had absolutely nothing to do with the Lannisters or the war.
When did her character arc set her up for murdering women and children?
That's what escalation is, dude. She kills the owners of the Unsullied to free the slaves. Those dudes had been living by that system for centuries. Every one of those guys deserved to die?
Crucifies the Wise Masters - not just killing them, killing them in the most painful way possible.
Murders the Dothraki - a lot of whom probably were at her wedding and fought for Khal Drogo. All those dudes are probably fathers and husbands and sons. They all deserved to die?
I guarantee you not every dude in the Lannister Loot Train was a soldier. I'm the guy who feeds and waters the horses. That dude's the cook. This guy is an accountant who handles how much treasure they got from Highgarden. They all are the same? ALL LANNISTERS. Burn them all, right Aerys?
Randall and Dickon Tarly - following orders from their liege lord. They surrender. Surrender? THEY ARE WEARING LANNISTER COLORS. Burn them all! Right, Aerys?
King's Landing - your family built these walls and this city, your ancestors sat the Iron Throne for 200 years until this MoFo Baratheon took it from them, but he's already dead. But who killed your father? A LANNISTER. Whose orders saw your mother raped and your siblings murdered? A LANNISTER. Who ordered the death of your beloved servant and friend in front of your eyes. A LANNISTER. Whose flags fly on every tower in this whole stinking city? THE LANNISTERS. Your father was right, he had the right idea when he was going to unleash the wildfire before that ******* KINGSLAYER killed him. The whole city carries their stink. Time to start over. They've all been living in this city for YEARS. The city your ancestors built and made beautiful - they should be welcoming you home as a hero, not fighting against you. The whole place is run by the LANNISTERS. The whole city stinks of LANNISTER. Only one solution - start completely over. BURN THEM ALL, DROGON.
Right, Aerys?
