A heel turn only would’ve worked if it was set up over a number of seasons. It took 5+ seasons for Walter White to become the villain on Breaking Bad (and even then he was probably at most an anti-hero). Instead Dany gets a couple episodes in a truncated season.She is, and its ******* stupid. Completely massive random character change they rushed on her this season. There would be ways to pull off the 'mad queen' arc, and i think they massively failed at it.
Like... id get burning the red keep. But somehow Dany gets triggered by bells and the character who the whole way along has been the breaker of chains and saving civilians left and right is now indiscriminately burning a city? Not just collateral damage but just burning fleeing people? Yeah, ok. I dont buy it whatsoever in her character.
There's a reason Emilia Clarke seemed disappointed in her interviews. They destroyed 7 seasons of her character to rush a shock twist.
