Agreed. I would love to see the Celtics either draft and stash a Euro,
Here ya go
The prophecy: In the House of the Undying in season 2, Dany has a vision of walking through the Red Keep’s throne room. The ceiling is broken open. Fans assumed the white particles falling into the room was snow and that winter had come to the south. In Sunday’s episode, Dany is finally taking King’s Landing and buildings are indeed being destroyed. But it’s not snowing. It’s raining ash from her dragon’s destruction. The season 2 scene is a vision of Daenerys taking King’s Landing only by becoming the “queen of the ashes.” In the same season she also literally declares, “When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who have wronged me. We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground!”
The Mass Crucifixion: On the road to Meereen in season 4, Dany finds 163 slave children crucified. She decides to crucify 163 masters in retaliation without regard for their individual guilt or innocence. Ser Barristan advises her to be more merciful. Later, a son of one of the crucified men insists his father was actually a good man who lobbied against slavery and didn’t deserve his fate.
Revenge for Ser Barristan. Also in season 4, after Ser Barristan was killed by the terror group Sons of the Harpy. In response, Dany brings three masters to her dragonpit. All swear they have nothing to do with the rogue group. She burns one of them alive to send a message to the others. Was the man guilty? Innocent? We don’t know and Dany didn’t seem to mind not knowing.
]The Mass Burning: In season 6 in Vaes Dothrak, as punishment for taking her prisoner and refusing her demands, Dany burns all the khals alive and has the remaining Dothraki promise — echoing Khal Drogo in season 1 — that they’ll “kill my enemies in their iron suits and tear down their stone houses.”
Meereen Revenge Plan: Also in season 6, Dany returns to Meereen and finds the city under attack from the slave cities. This is her first instinct: “I will crucify the masters. I will set their fleets afire. I will kill every last one of their soldiers and return their cities to the dirt. That’s my plan.” Tyrion talks her out of it.
Burning the Tarleys: In season 7, Dany is given the choice of killing or imprisoning Lord Tarly and his son Dickon after a battle and decides to execute both against the advice of Tyrion.
King’s Landing Battle Plan: In season 8, Dany is repeatedly urged to not attack King’s Landing to overthrow Cersei. She never seems to be entirely against the idea, but rather agrees with her advisors that it’s rather poor public relations strategy.
The show has pretty consistently shown that when Daenerys is angered she can rather quickly leap to “kill them all” as the best solution regardless of whether it’s entirely justified or not
https://ew.com/tv/2019/05/13/game-of-thrones-daenerys-mad-queen/In Game of Thrones season 2, Daenery's handmaiden Doreah – a naïve, stupid girl – betrayed her with Xaro Xan Daxos – a wealthy man who seduced her with riches and a life of comfort away from the indentured servitude she faced working for Dany. In punishment for this offense, Dany locked her and Xaro inside his vault to die a slow death from starvation and probably madness if they didn’t murder-suicide themselves first. It made for great television and it’s doubtful anyone mourned either of those characters for long, but five seasons later Cersei did nearly the exact same thing with Ellaria and her daughter - and it was bone-chilling.
https://screenrant.com/game-thrones-daenerys-mad-queen-clues/Daenerys offers one of her dragons in exchange for 8,000 Unsullied and the boys still in training (about 5,000). The offer is accepted
Daenerys meets with the Good Masters in a large plaza holding the entire force of Unsullied. She delivers Drogon and is given a scourge that symbolizes ownership of the Unsullied. Now their master, she orders them to kill all the Good Masters, soldiers, and slave overseers, spare the children, and free any slaves they find. After the sacking of the city is complete, she grants them their freedom and asks if they will fight for her as free men. After a few moments, they unanimously acclaim Daenerys as their leader and join her on her march.
Broke her agreement, did not free them out of goodwill but rather to get an army.
https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/UnsulliedSo plenty of hints about the mad queen if you were looking at the plot and not her looks. JK
Really? I don't even think the Dorthraki were shown again after Dany's speech. And wait, you mean to tell me she still had THAT many Dorthraki + Unsullied left even after the Battle at Winterfell + Kings Landing??
Grey Worm and the Unsullied executed some of the army who already surrendered at Kings Landing, but they allow for Tyrion and Jon to have a trial? Lol.
A lot of the plot did not make sense after the Battle of Winterfell. She must have had troops left in Stormreach because the Dothraki at Winterfell were destroyed.
A lot of the Unsullied stuff never made sense, their armor was vinyl supposed to look like leather. Even their helms are made of this crap. I know it was costs. But this would not make them very arrow proof compared to Alexander the Great's troops in linothorax and metal helms. They also show no resilience against the robed dagger wielding Sons of the Harpy. Yet were very tough in Westeros, and pikes often could win handily against Cavalry whist Sword and Bucklers armed men could evade their pikes and close the range and cut them to pieces. Huge pot holes, after Martin was past up.
Mongols could kill knights with their bows, but on the show, the Dothraki have none. The reality was the men in iron would own them in a fight. Romans beat the savagery of the Germans, Brits and Gauls more often than not due to discipline, tenacity and their equipment. It would be no different here. Their Arakh's sword are variation of a real life sword called a Khopesh. They died out relatively quickly around 1300 BC in history, because there were better options.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KhopeshThe Show runners were pretty ignorant of History and Warfare in general. Why did they fly the dragons right at the Ballista for instance rather than trying to flank them and destroy from angles where the defenders would have been defenseless or better yet attack the ships at night by surprise and burn a bunch of them before a solid target was presented?
As for the trial, think they would have demanded Death regardless for Tyrion and Jon. I was hoping Grey Worm would die, too as I never cared for the Unsullied for the above reasons.
But IMO he recognizes Tyrion should be King, and has given him most of those powers because others would not.
I agree Tyrion was picked by Bran to rule in his stead but let's think about your comment. Tyrion was wrong time and time again in this show. For all his alleged smarts, he had to rely on Jon to bail him out and betrayed a friend, in Varys who was right.
