One side's 'freedom fighter'/white helmet is often the other side's terrorist.
That's why she was not a hero, but she didn't rule with death as she's doing now.

Enough about GoT for now.
If anyone hasn't seen Sneaky Pete, do yourself a favor and watch it. If you liked breaking bad, you'll like this too. Bryan Cranston takes obvious cues from his signature series with its great blend of drama and comedy. Lots of twists and turns and some excellent character development. It's what I hoped Ozark would be like.
Guys, you heard the man. For the time being use the spoiler tags. Enough back and forth on this.
The reason a few Dothraki were loyal was because she was the wife of Drogo, not because she's some savvy powerful mind, and it wasn't until she started walking through fire and getting her dragons that she got their respect.Her dragons were virtually useless from seasons 2 until what 5 or 6 when they had grown. She didn't even have the dragons when she was left to die by most of the Dothraki. Yet a number of Dothraki were still loyal to her, Mormont became loyal long before the dragons too. So saying she would've been an abused widow without the dragons is clearly not true. She had gotten beyond that fate before she even had dragons.
Her early strength was based on the Unsullied which she gained through cunning. It's not at all obvious that the Second Sons joined her because of dragons, it seemed very much her inspiring love/lust in one of their leaders.
And sure maybe without the dragons she would've died, but the same could be said of Jon Snow and Ghost. Without a Dire Wolf Jon Snow probably dies vs wildings. Ghost also intimidated many Night Watch members who hated him and so kept him safe, etc...
And there's no evidence to suggest that Jon Snow is anywhere close to the greatest fighter out there. He's only ever been shown as good, most of the time versus guys with little to no training. There's not much of a case to suggest he was at the level of Jamie, The Hound, The Mountain, or Brienne, too name a few. Can we even say he was better then Tormond, Jorah, Bronn, Beric, Gendry, Arya, etc...
The reason Jon Snow is where he is has very little to do with being a great fighter. He didn't become Lord Commander of the Night's Watch because he was a skilled fighter, if you remember he even felt his fighting skills should've made him a Ranger instead of a Steward. He gained the loyalty of the wildlings by saving them, not by being the best fighter, etc...

lol i already knew the spoilers from episode 3-4-5 at episode 2. They were right , the same dude wont lie for the last episode.I wouldn't wanna spoil it for you.
I knew them like 6 months ago and they've been posted like 23 times already.lol i already knew the spoilers from episode 3-4-5 at episode 2. They were right , the same dude wont lie for the last episode.
Are people having a discussion about spoiler tag and its implications?
As much as political correction, participation trophies and babying is an issue today, this ''F-U I'll do wtv I want'' attitude is just as big of a problem.
Just **** and put the spoiler tag on...or write ''Spoiler Alert'' at the top of your post. Have a pinch of decency....wtf.

Yeah so you know that the ending is complete dog**** and have 0 meaning to the story and that half of dialogues are freaking useless.
It's very believable that Dany would end the story as the villain but like you, I think it was rushed. The writers kind of chalk it up to "She's a targaryen after all" which is so sloppy.
It's like they want us to believe all Targaryen's end up mad but want us to forget her older brother Reghar was actually seen as a good man who helped the unfortunate.
It's like walking into a bar and being surprised there's alcohol.Or just dont read the thread if you did not catchup

It's a crap ending for sure, but there's still room for speculation since the leakers don't watch the entire episode, nor get to hear the full dialogue. The bullet points are right, but there is important stuff that is left out still.
Yeah we dont know the big lines but they still made 2 differents ending ,they could switch use 1 or 2 depending on critics from episode 5 but everything is not making any sense at all. The best ending would be Ned Stark waking up from his bed and says he had a nightmare. It would be better than the piece of **** that D&D came out for the last 3 seasons. Brann Seriously.
It's being updated as we speak, we're most likely getting the ending where Tyrion lives. At least we'll get to see Jon with Ghost and Tormund back in the north, that's where he belongs really. Dany and Jon is supposed to be a tragedy, but all we got from them was boatsex, flying the dragons together and she's muh queen bruh.
The idea is that when a Targ is born, you flip a coin he/she may be extremly Good or extremly Evil.
Killing Tyrion would be the tip of the iceberg. I still cant believe how smart he was in 7 seasons and did not realize sending children and women in a crypt full of dead people was a good idea. Also Jon will Dany i dont see anything else happening. but idk what will happen to the dragon , Jon could use it i guess? Probably more bull**** will be announced. Tormund and Ghost atleast got a good ending for them ahha. No wonder the Hound was laughing at Jon and and Dany when they gave out the script the end is so bad lol. I still cant believe she burned everything after freeing so many people lmao. God this season is just full of memes and make 0 senses. Also if GG Martin was not so lazy he would complete his ****ing series. We are not going to see the end of this story.
Your notion of villain and hero is skewed by the show/books though. The Starks are not villain, they are merely caught in the cross-fires over and over, theyre not even hero, theyre victims. The Lannisters are a powerful house that use their power in a political way to gain even more influence, they are nor heroes nor villains, they are politicians.She was a freedom warrior that used force to liberate slaves, not a hero nor a villain. Very different from killing innocents and children because she doesn't feel loved. It's not a matter of call backs and pretending she was always that. She evolves (in a laughable way) into that.
The only ****ed up thing prior to this was killing the Tarlys.
Littlefinger, The Night King, Cersei, Euron, Ramsey ect. we're always the villains.

Robert isn't a hero, he's a villain, he comes and "liberates" the city of their rightful ruler because he lost his wife to his son, thats laughable lol.
Rhaegar isn't a villain, he's just a dude that was in love with a girl that was already betrothed.
Since then ? It's mostly back to everyday life, with lords fighting like lords fight. It's basically medieval times, and there's no actual villain in there, just people seeking more political power.
The war of the five kings is weird, there's the King in the north, Robb, who doesn't really have a claim for the throne but goes for it because his dad died.. Which is... Yes, it's okay. I guess Robb is a hero.
Stannis is the "rightful" heir to the Usurper, which makes his case weird.
Renly doesn't have a case, he's a villain.
Balon Greyjoy didn't have a huge role but he clearly is a villain, if he choses to invade a foreign country/state/wtv.
Joffrey is a teenager, and yes, he's vile, but he hasn't really done anything but be mean to the Starks.
Dany though. She grows up to be a power-hungry woman. She kills people left and right, hundreds, and she does it for one single purpose, power.
Now thats a villain.
Go to freefolk on reddit if you wish to know more details, the spoilers have just been updated and they say what happens with Drogon. The thing with GRRM is that he over-developed the characters to the point where he lost control of the plot, he only knows the ending, but his characters wont let him get there. Dany becoming evil is the real ending in the books as well.
Now, imagine two average at best writers like D&D trying to figure that out, and this is what we get. The show went from being character driven to a plot based spectacle -- What made the show was everything the characters did would come to bite them later on.
Now it's what can this character do for the ending. When you decide to switch the style of story telling AND cut it short + laziness this is the mess you get.
