GAME OF THRONES: Dany Annoys Me

SPOILERS FOR GAME ON THRONES!


No other character in Game Of Thrones annoys me more than Daenerys.

Nothing is more hard to swallow than someone who sells themselves as the good guy yet isn't.

Hell I don't like Cersei much but at least she doesn't try to hoodwink everyone into some Messiah shtick.

"Breaker of chains" my ass.

Dany fashions herself as this righteous savior and expects everyone to worship and kneel before her.

But she really isn't.

She's lying to everyone around her and perhaps to herself.

Power is her my motivation....

She's hawking subjugation as benevolence.

Her egomania concealed behind a veneer of "I'm better and more caring" than the rest. "I'm different."

Are you Dany?

Are you really?



A commentor on an article I read said this:

I'm sorry, Ms. Loofburrow, but if you bought into Danaerys' "breaker of chains" shtick, the fault is with you, not the show. It just shows you were susceptible to the seduction of a charismatic despot, jut like Dany's followers. If there were ever any doubt that Danaerys is simply power mad, her reaction to Jon’s revelation of his parentage should put paid to any idea that Danaerys is anything other than an entitled, war monger. There is absolutely nothing understandable about her questioning of Jon’s claim to being Aegon Targaryen. Despite Jon having demonstrated again and again his utter selflessness and disinterest in power (to a fault, given that he abandoned his duty to the North), she immediately was suspicious. Her disbelief is absurd. Why would he bend the knee renouncing his title of King in the North only to then claim he’s Aegon? Only someone blinded by an overweening lust for power could think such a thing. Danaerys is the Smeagol/Gollum of Game of Thrones obsessively focused on power for powers sake, but unlike her counterpart Cersei, she lies to herself and everyone else about what she really wants and why. I’m reminded of May Angelou’s famous quote, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Waaaaaay back in Season 2, Danaerys screamed at the Spice King in Qarth who refused to give her his ships that she would take back what was hers with fire and blood. There was no posturing about breaking chains or breaking the wheel. In that raw moment, she told you everything you need to know about her; she is the personification of the wheel.

I love her but she really isn't perfect.

I honestly hope that she won't be on the throne at the end

 

[maruberry]

She has the targaryen madness, it is obvious! She is just a lot smarter than the mad king and viserys were!

The no.1 thing that shows it is what she wants. She doesn't wish for a peaceful country, she doesn't wish the best for the Kingdom she wishes to rule. She just wants the throne, because it is her "birthright"!

Sansa is also lowkey becoming my favorite character and the one I want on the throne. Arya said it perfectly, she is the smartest person there!

she'll most likely die to her going insane by Jon's hand, quote me if I'm right

I will and I do hope so

 

[maruberry]

I also don't believe that she actually loves Jon.

I used to like her and buy into her as the good guy. But as her character has progressed her decisions just made it clear that despite perhaps being a good person in many respects... Her hunger for power would ultimately trump her otherwise good nature.

She's the the type that is caring when it's easy and doesn't threaten her power grab.

But if you oppose her ultimate ascent. Her cruelty comes to the forefront.

That's why despite all his faults, I like Jon Snow. He's one of of the few characters who is truthfully not motivated by a thirst for utter power.

I'm hoping Dany will have some sort of redemption moment where she males a choice to choose others over her power. Hopefully she doesn't die for it.

 

[Emanresu]

I also don't believe that she actually loves Jon.

Yeah I don't either.

I mean I think she cares for him.

But I can't kick the hunch that a lot of her affection is motivated by utility and that any feelings she may have for him are conditional. In that.... I love you as long as I can rule over you.

I think she feels more possessive over him, kinda like she feels for her dragons.

 

[Darkseid]

I also don't believe that she actually loves Jon.

I think she believes she does, even though she actually might not.
Dany is an interesting case that she's likely even deluded herself into believing a lot of shit she says, she's not a manipulator like Cersei coz she genuinely believes she's a good, benevolent person- even though a lot of times, she isn't.

While there are ultimately a lot of good things about Dany's character, her ego and desire for the throne at any cost will likely lead to her ruin eventually. Everything else is secondary. The Targaryen madness is coming

for him.

I had different issue w/Dany when I first read the books 20 years ago, I was bored n annoyed w/her n events that I skipped all her chapters to get to the interesting ones.

But Emilia Clarke, n later books changed my mind. In the show she's well realized.

I agree, she's not good. But disagree not targ madness, at least not solely.

Rhaegar never went crazy. Stupid, unrealistic but never crazy.

Khal Drogo death drove her over the edge. N her upbringing by viserion on the run gave her unrealistic, unhealthy outlook on the world.

She probably believes she loves Jon. But her ptsd from drogo n her baby's death i'd say give her skewed perspective on wat love is.

Spoiler

She's been selfish n authoritarian but in second episode, she shows some growth/change-whether she'll survive n be a good leader w/or w/out Jon is sth we'll hv to see.

Rn I wouldn't want her to survive w/out Jon n take iron throne.

Sorry idk how to use multi-quote correctly.

Tl:dr agree w/most except reason not targ madness -death of drogo n baby. She can still change n grow n learn. But will she?

 

[Soleski]

the way she attacked tyrion... like girl you believed cersei too
I was so happy when Sansa told that to her
