Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen

I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for that matter. Ive wanted to do this blog for a long time now as I feel there hasnt been a blog listing all that is wrong with Dany. I get asked why I hate Dany so much so These are the reasons why Daenerys Targaryen is my most hated character.

*Note some of these reasons overlap each other I mean Danys Vindictive nature permeates her entire storyline so theres a lot of Vengeful stuff

Boring

Quite simply put Dany is boring she is boring in all 4 books she is in has maybe 1 or 2 good chapters in the whole series. Really only chapter that is interesting is the House of the Undying chapter with her. On the show nothing is interesting about her. She is surrounded by far more interesting characters in the books Belwas (we all love Belwas) Barristan, Brown Ben Plumm etc. Hell I would honestly rather read anout Irri and Jhiqui than Dany. Her story arc is practicable and stereotypical and she has maybd the second worst POV in the whole series. The chapters in Meereen are unreadable and I skip them on re reads. Actually recently watched the 6th season of Game Of Thrones and I skipped the scenes with her in it couldnt care less. I might even skip her chapters in Winds of Winter if that ever comes out. She just not interesting at all.

Emilia Clarke Terrible Acting

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

Obviously this is a show only theme but deserves to be mentioned Emilia Clarke is a terrible actress In Game Of Thrones. She is amongst the worst actors on the show maybe slightly above the Sand Snakes. She wasnt that bad in the first season but since then everything was terrible. She delievers her lines terribly, she has no emotion usually and when she does try to show emotion it looks ridiculous, and she has that one shocked face she uses over and over again. It is a completw travesty that she has been nominated for emmys when far superior actors Like Alfie Allen, Mark Addy, Michelle Fairley, etc. Havent been nominated at all it just shows the emmies are clueless which shouldve been evident by the accolades season 5 received. I mean the Wire never wins but season 5 of Game Of Thrones breaks the record for most wins? Unbelievable. I mean when youre in a movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and people complain about your bad acting theres a problem. Point is Emilia Clarke is a terrible actress and it does make Show Dany intolerable.

Vengeful And Cruel

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

Daenerys is very Vengeful and is almost obsessed with getting revenge on people she thinks have crossed her. I mean look at what she tells her followers

"I swear to you that those who would harm you die screaming" - Daenerys

She swears vengeance on Mago and Jhaqo for raping and killing a woman.

"It was a cruel fate, yet not so cruel as Magos will be. I promise you that, by the old gods and the new, by the lamb god and the horse god and every god that lives. I swear by the Mother of Mountains and the Womb of the World. Before I am done with them, Mago and Ko Jhaqo will plead for the mercy they showed Eroeh" - Daenerys

She killed Mirri Maz Duur for killing her unborn son and not saving Drogo. Even though Mirri did try to save Drogo at first in the books but his dumbass decided to rip off the bandage she made for him and rub mud into it causing a infection. Of course I believe Mirri was justified killing Rhaego is pretty much like killing a baby hitler from her point of view.

Daenerys also kills all the Khals in season 6 even smiling before burning them all to death.

Now I know what youre thinking these are evil people they deserved it and there could be a case made for that. But like or love it by Jhaqo and Magos and the khals culture they werent doing anything wrong that's what Dothraki do. Mirri was trying to prevent the further slaughter of her people by killing this monster before it was born. Its not all black and white like Dany sees it the story is meant to reflect the shades of grey in real life. Also the fact that Daenerys relishes in the vengence is disturbing and should give us pause since she is supposed to be good.

When she gets to Meereen she rounds up The Masters of the city and nails them to posts. She sees this as justice because the masters were slavers and they nailed children to posts. However later on we see that not all of the masters were involved in slavery and some were against it We see Hizdahrs father was crucified alongside these Masters despite speaking out against such treatment.

"My father spoke out against crucifying those children" - Hizdahr Zo Loraq

"I pray you will never live to see a member of your family treated so cruelly" - Hizdahr Zo Loraq

"I cannot defend the actions of the Masters. I can only speak to you as a son who loved his father" - Hizdahr Zo Loraq

"Is it justice to answer one crime with another" - Hizdahr Zo Loraq

And how exactly did killing the Masters make Daenerys feel?

"She had them nailed to wooden posts around the plaza, each man pointing at the next. The anger was fierce and hot inside her when she gave the command; it made her feel like an avenging dragon" - Daenerys

We see that she relished in the suffering of these men. That she enjoyed the pain she inflicted on them. This isnt a good thing by any means this really means Dany is a Sadist and takes pleasure in harming others.

Daenerys further shows signs of Madness and how Vengeful and Cruel she can be when she has the Owner of a Wineshop and his daughters tortured because two Unsullied died in their shop. Now theres no evidence that the wineseller is guilty and certainly none that his daughters are guilty and Daenerys knows this. She is so filled with rage that she has the Shavepate, a brutal man with a reputation for cruelty torture these poor people who are likely innocent.

"Your Servants Have arrested the Owner of the Wineshop and his daughter. They both plead their innocence and Beg for Mercy" - Grey Worm

"They all plead innocence and beg for mercy" - Daenerys

"Give them to the Shavepate Skahaz, keep each apart from the others and put them to the question" - Daenerys

"It will be done your worship, would you have them question them sweetly or sharply"? - Shavepate

"Sweetly to begin hear what tales they tell amd the names they give to you they may have had no part in this" - Daenerys

"Mercy Dany thought THEY WILL HAVE THE DRAGONS MERCY Skahaz I have changed my mind Question the man sharply" - Daenerys

"I could or I could Question the daughters sharply as their father looks on" - Shavepate

"Do as You think best" - Daenerys

"Her Fury was like a fire in her belly" - Daenerys

We see that Dany acknowledges the possibility and likelihood that the man and his daughter are innocent and had nothing to do with the killings at first and then her anger comes and she has these innocent people tortured. She has innocent women tortured likely raped in front of their father. This certainly is a horrifying thing to do to anyone yet alone innocent people and yet she doesnt care she wants revenge and does care how she gets it. If innocent people must suffer along the way so be it this is the beginning of a Tyrant, this is the beginning of a Monster. The Quote from Friedrich Nietzsche Comes to mind.

"Beware that when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster.. For when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you" - Friedrich Nietzsche

Dany is heading down a dark road she is clearly showing signs of Madness, loving to torture her enemies is how her father the Mad King started. She has already given santion to torturing innocent people and not caring who is guilty or not. She may see herself as an avenging Dragon but she is going further and further down a dangerous path and becoming a monster.

Does Not Care Meereen

The fact of the matter is she hates everything having to do with Meereen and its culture and people. She constantly is bashing the people of Meereen and their culture which is not a good thing if youre trying to rule the city.

"Meereen was not her home, and never would be. It was a city of strange men with strange gods and stranger hair, of slavers wrapped in fringed tokars, where grace was earned through whoring, butchery was art, and dog was a delicacy. Meereen would always be  the harpy's city, and Daenerys could not be a harpy" - Daenerys

"Daenerys was sick to Death, she was sick of all the Meereenese" - Daenerys

I love how she derides Meereense culture yet she loved Dothraki and Valyrian cutlure which are both far more savage and brutal than Meereen.

She chooses her Dragon over the people she is supposed to rule over. When she runs to save Drogon after he comes to the fighting pits and starts to eat a woman who was injured. This site of a live woman being eaten by a Dragon horrifies the Meereenese and even Barristan seems to accept that Drogon should be killed but not Dany. Nevermind the fact that Drogon had killed a little girl in Meereen a little girl who at the end of A Dance with Dragons dany doesnt even care about to her name.

Terrible Ruler

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

Theres no denying this one at all Daenerys Targaryen is a shitty ruler. She cant even rule 1 city how does the girl think she can rule 7 Kingdoms? Meereen is completely destroyed ny Daenerys. It was doing fine before she arrived and decided to destroy its customs.

"Meereen is a free city of free men" - Daenerys

"A poor city that once was rich. A hungry city that once was fat. A bloody city that once was peaceful" - Xaro Xaroen Daxos

"You will not make Meereen rich and fat and peaceful. You will only bring it to destruction, as you did Astapor" - Xaro Xaron Daxos

"His accusations stung, there was too much truth in them" - Daenerys

Daenerys destroyed this ancient city and then is simply going to leave it. After she is gone the slaves will be re enslaved probally be under worse conditions than before, the masters will come back so what was all this for? All the lives lost for what?

Daenerys rolled over Astapor killed the leaders same as Meereen and left the city. Now Astapor starves and is a constant state of bloodshed and disease all from the Mother of the Dragons arriving there. This is the city where she used her dragons to burn the slavers and freed the Unsullied. Everyone loved seeing that right? It was a "Boss" moment.... But what happened afterward? Daenerys left this city it went into chaos the former slaves took control and enslaved the former masters they were full of Righteous wrath and went to war with Yunkai inspired by Daenerys. They lost the war and Astapor descended into starvation, Disease, and pretty much everything else terrible you can think of. They people of Astapor believed that Dany would come and save them after all they were former slaves that she freed, they were fighting against Yunkai surely their liberator would return to save her "children" No. She never came and Astapor burned.

"I know That The Mother of Dragons will not abadon us in our hour of peril" - Lord Ghael

"I gave Astapor its freedom It is up to you to defend it" - Daenerys

"We are all Dead then, you gave us death not freedom" - Daenerys

"The Astapori were convinced Daenerys was coming south with her dragons to break the siege. She didn’t come then, and she’s not coming now" - Tattered Prince

Astapor is so terrible that Quentyn Martell literally says it is hell. This is someone who says he will be forever scarred by What he saw in Astapor.

"Frog would be glad to put Astapor behind him. The Red City was the closest thing to hell he ever hoped to know. The Yunkai’i had sealed the broken gates to keep the dead and dying inside the city, but the sights that he had seen riding down those red brick streets would haunt Quentyn Martell forever. A river choked with corpses. The priestess in her torn robes, impaled upon a stake and attended by a cloud of glistening green flies, Dying men staggering through the streets, bloody and befouled. Children fighting over half-cooked puppies. The last free king of Astapor, screaming naked in the pit as he was set on by a score of starving dogs. And fires, fires everywhere. He could close his eyes and see them still flames whirling from brick pyramids larger than any castle he had ever seen, plumes of greasy smoke coiling upward like great black snakes" - Quentyn Martell

The fact is Dany chose not to help Astapor despite the fact she was the cause for all their problems. She rolled through burned stuff with her dragons, freed the slaves, and then left them. Dany herself acknowledges her failure in Astapor and her responsibility in the cities torments.

"A girl I thought I’d saved from rape and torment. All I did was make it worse for her in the end And all I did in Astapor was make ten thousand Eroehs" - Daenerys

She went to Astapor freed the slaves burned the slavers then she left. What will she do in meereen? Dany last chapter in Dance makes it clear she doesnt care about Meereen at all she wants to go to Westeros and burn stuff over there. So all of her time in Meereen will be for nothing. All of the lives she destroyed will be for nothing. And what will happen to Meereen when Dany leaves?

"The Yunkai will restore The Great Masters the instant you are gone, and we who Have served faithfully your cause will be put to the sword, our sweet wives and daughters raped and enslaved" - Reznak Mo Reznak

"They will make slaves of us or throw us in the pits all will be as it was or worse" - Reznak Mo Reznak

Does Dany care about any this? No of course once again she only cares about the Iron Throne.

"Meereen was Never your city, your cities lie across the sea in the 7 kingdoms" - Daenerys

No sympathy for Meereen in those words or Astapor or any other place she destroyed. It is a shame about the people of Meereen and Astapor. They both deserved better than Daenerys.

Lets face it as a ruler Daenerys Targaryen is a Complete Failure. I honestly think the whole point of Meereen is showing that she cannot rule she couldn't be worse at it. I don't know how one can read the chapters in meereen and think she should be in charge of anything.

Dont give me any excuses about how she is young and can learn in time what time? We dont have years for her to become a competent ruler The White Walkers are closing in at the wall, Euron Greyjoy is set to attack Oldtown, Aegon is heading towards Storms End, and Cersei likely takes control back of Kings Landing now that Kevan Is dead. Then who knows what Littlefinger is up to nothing good though. There is no time for her to stop being a horrible ruler nor does she want to.

But wait she is only a 13 yr old? Well Bran was 11 when he ran the North while a war was going on and he did good far better than Dany. Jon is 8 to 9 months older than Dany and he did a good job at the wall he shouldve explained his actions but still almost every choice he made was the right one except reguarding his last one. Robb was the same age dany is now and by all s he was a great leader and King who ruled the entire North not one city and never lost a battle. The Young Excuse doesnt work when they're are people of the same age ruling over larger areas and doing it a million times better than she is.

Also she has good intentions right? Well good intentions dont matter its the path to hell thats paved with good intentions. No one ever thinks they are doing evil they start are with good intentions and lose their way. Being a good person which is debateable with Daenerys isnt enough.

"Being a good man' is not enough. That there are many kings who are good men and yet bad kings" - George R.R. Martin

Doesnt Care About Slavery

"Daenerys was sick to Death she was sick of all meereenese GREAT AND SMALL ALIKE" - Daenerys

Daenerys is the mother of the freed slaves in Meereen yet she is sick of them? This doesnt sound like concern for their well being or anything of the sort she hates the Meereenese all of them master and slaves.

She also didnt care about slavery being brought back to Yunkai or Astapor even though she caused both to fall into chaos by killing the leaders. Now Astapor is in complete Hell worse than when she arrived and Slavery has returned. Yunkai has rebounded and simply restored the old order and slavery has returned to Yunkai. What a Waste of time and lives. She literally gave her approval for Astapor to be rebuilt by the Yunkai as a slave city, so much fkr a anti slavery crusader.

Does Daenerys care about slavery really no all she cares about is the Iron Throne. Does she have a small moral problem with slavery maybe? I mean if she really cared about slavery she would become the liberator people thinks she is go to Lys, and Volantis and Pentos everywhere else there is slavery and free them. Go back to yunkai and free the slaves she doesnt seem to show any inclination of freeing people. One of the saddest moments in A Dance Of Dragons is when Tyrion visits the Widow on the waterfront a former slave who had her cheeks cut off where she had the tears that are tattooed on slaves, cries and pleads with Tyrion to tell Dany

"Should you reach your queen, give her a message from the slaves of Old Volantis." She touched the faded scar upon her wrinkled cheek, where her tears had been cut away. "Tell her we are waiting. Tell her to come soon" - Widow On The Waterfront

Its heartbreaking because you know that its never happening Dany isnt going to Volantis she isnt freeing the slaves there. Dany is going to Westeros abandoning all the slaves in the free cities. Daenerys quite simply only cares about the Iron Throne.

And you know what after all of her talks of slavery and how wrong it is and everything would you believe Daenerys herself has slaves? Oh yes its true her handmaidens are slaves given to her they dont get paid they wait on her hand and foot and no payment? Sounds a bit like slavery to me. If that doesnt convince you Dany herself is a Slaver well there is this

"As it happens, when I came ashore in your sweet city, I chanced to see upon the riverbank a man who had once been a guest in my manse, a merchant who dealt in rare spices and choice wines. He was naked from the waist up, red and peeling, and seemed to be digging a hole.” - Xaro Xaron Daxos

“Not a hole. A ditch, to bring water from the river to the fields. We mean to plant beans. The beanfields must have water.” - Daenerys

"How kind of my old friend to help with the digging. And how very unlike him. Is it possible he was given no choice in the matter? No, surely not. You have no slaves in Meereen.” - Xaro Xaron Daxos

"Dany flushed. “Your friend is being paid with food and shelter. I cannot give him back his wealth. Meereen needs beans more than it needs rare spices, and beans require water.” - Daenerys

“Would you set my dancers to digging ditches as well? Sweet queen, when he saw me, my old friend fell to his knees and begged me to buy him as a slave and take him back to Qarth.”- Xaro Xaroen Daxos

"She felt as if he’d slapped her. “Buy him, then" - Daenerys

So we see a man stripped of his wealth being forced to work in the blazing hot sun. A job he doesnt get paid for and yet is forced to do, he has no choice Whatsoever. That is what we call Slavery and all under the watchful eye of the noble Breaker of Chains. We also see that conditions are so bad for this slave he begs to be bought by another master for a easier life and we see dany doesnt like it when someone questions her rule or points out her hypocrisy and how she doesnt really care about Slavery. She replies to Xaro that he should buy this slave buy him from who? His owner would be Daenerys or someone who represents Daenerys. A human being being owned by another human being its no doubt this is slavery. Now I know some say that this guy deserved it but we hear that he is a merchant that trades in rare spices from Qarth there is no mention of him being involved with Slavery in any way shape or form. Yet even if he was we hear what Dany has to say about the former slavers being turned into slaves.

"Cleon the self-styled Great was no better, however. The Butcher King had restored slavery to Astapor, the only change being that the former slaves were now the masters and the former masters were now the slaves" - Daenerys

Here we see Dany saying that Cleon was no better than those who came before him because he had merely taken made the former masters slaves. Yet Dany dragged a trader off a merchant ship and forced him into slavery. He isn't likely the only one she has enslaved either since he wouldnt be able to dig a ditch by himself. Who knows how many innocent people that Dany has forced into slavery. With all her talk about the evils of slavery she seems oddly comfortable making excuses for when she is the one doing it. Dany is nothing more than another slaver. Mhysa is a master.

Doesnt Listen, Doesnt Learn

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

She is very closeminded and doesnt listen to her advisors at all even when we as they reader know that she should. Take when she is talking to Ser Barristan about his experiences in Kings Landing and he makes a reference to Ned Starks Death.

"The Day Lord Stark Lost his head, I was there watching, I walked into the Sept and thanked the 7 Gods that Joffrey Took my Cloak" - Barristan

"Stark Was A Traitor Who Met A Traitors End" - Daenerys

"Eddard Stark played a part in your father's fall but he bore you no ill will. When the Eunuch Varys told us that you were with child, Robert wanted you killed, but Lord Stark spoke out against it rather than Countenance the murder of children, he told robert to find himself another Hand" - Barristan

"Have you forgotten Rhaenys and Aegon" - Daenerys

"Never that was Lannister Work Your Grace" - Daenerys

"Lannister or Stark Whats The difference? Viserys used to call them the Usurpers Dogs if a child is set upon by a pack of hounds does it matter which ones tear his throat out? All The Dogs are Just as guilty" - Daenerys

We see that Barristan tries to explain that Ned Stark saved her life and that she shouldnt hate him yet Dany is having none of it. She already has her mind made up about the Starks and doesnt want to hear anything else. She also doesnt want to hear anything about her father and doesnt believe that he was mad.

"And with him stood the great lords her brother had named the Usurper's dogs, cold-eyed Eddard Stark with his frozen heart, and the golden Lannisters, father and son, so rich, so powerful, so treacherous" - Daenerys

She believes what she wants and wont have anyone complicating that.

Hypocrite

Daenerys Targaryen goes on and On about how Robert was a Usurper how the Throne belongs to her because her father was the King but if she is so concerned with Traditions and Rightful Kings and Queens then why does she rule Meereen? No Targaryen has ever Ruled Meereen she has absolutely NO Claim to Meereen. She gets to this ancient Peaceful city over throws the rulers, kills them in Vicious ways and then Installs herself as the Queen of Meereen. Hmm. That sounds like a Usurper its the definition of a Usurper actually.

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

And yet despite her fitting the definition of a Usurper perfectly she still goes on and on.

We see on the show she lets the Iron Islands become independent and lets Yara become its Queen. Yet when she gets to meet Jon she does not allow the North to become Independent and demands Jon kneel to her. She even leverages the desperate situation in the North to try and get him to bend the knee. She tells the Ironborn they must give up reaving then basically tells the Dothraki to reave Westeros for her. Missandei says that Daenerys lets everyone in Essos choose to follow her so why does she not let everyone in Westeros choose who they want to follow? If you let people from one place choose to follow who they believe in and then deny that right to another place and people how is that justified? Missandei says they don't follow Dany because of who her father was but Dany believes that everyone is Westeros should follow her for who her father was.

Of course we have already established that Daenerys doesnt care about Meereen or the people despite constantly claiming to and wanting to rule over them and that despite her hating slavery she forces people into slavery and owns slaves. She lets people in Essos decide if they want to follow her or not but denies that right to Westeros. She makes the Ironborn give up their reaving but makes no such demands of the Dothraki. She lets the Iron Islands become independent but not thr North. Daenerys is a classic example of a Hypocrite.

No Idea about Compromise and Politics

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

She is completely devoid of any kind of political sense or how things really work. She expects everyone to follow her and is quite brutal when they dont. Her go to method with anything is to threaten someone into obeying her sounds like a Tyrant in the making. We see this numerous times.

"They Can live in my world or they can die in theirs" - Daenerys

She thinks everyone who fought against the Targaryens in the war must be killed for turning against her family

"All The Usurpers Dogs Must Be Punished" - Daenerys

Never mind that this is half the realm that fought for Robert. The Baratheons, Starks, Arryns, Tullys, Lannisters and all their bannermen. So basically 5 of the 7 Kingdoms have to suffer greatly for backing Robert.

"Your cities are across the sea, in the 7 kingdoms, you were born to serve them Fire And Blood" - Daenerys

She talks about serving Westeros Fire And Blood which doesnt imply a good peaceful time or trying to consolidate power its taking power by force killing everyone who disagrees. Robert pardoned the lords who fought for the Targaryens as Vengeful as Daenerys is she wont do the same as she is always calling for blood. This woman should never be in a position of power.

"Politics is the art of compromise" - Hizdahr

"Im Not a Politician im a queen" - Daenerys

Well no a Queen is a Politician all rulers have to be unless you go for more of the tyrant blueprint which is what she wants. She cant seem to make any good political decision everything she does that qualifies is suggested by someone else. Take her Marriage to Hizdahr for example it wasnt her idea it was the Green Graces. The only good decision she makes through 4 books is when she tricked the slavers In Astapor and that had more to do with their own stupidity more than her intelligence. Aside from that Nothing. She also sucks as a military commander never making a single good military decision.

Entitled

"I was Born to rule the 7 kingdoms and I will" - Daenerys

I mean this one is easy and obvious but I really do hate when someone is entitled. Daenerys thinks the world should bow down to her and she deserves everything good in the world. Her entitlement is evident by her ever growing list of Titles she goes by. You dont demand anything in The world, no one owes you anything you have to earn it. I cant stand someone who is entitled and Daenerys is Easily one of the most entitled person in the whole series.

Just Lucky

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

The fact of the matter is everything Dany has she lucked into. There are two reasons she why she had anything and that is she is considered pretty and she is a targaryen, that is it. Both of these things she was just lucky enough to be born with she didnt work for them she hasn't worked for anything. If Daenerys wasnt pretty Khal Drogo wouldve never married her, if she wasnt a Targaryen Khal Drogo wouldve never married her. If she wasn't pretty Jorah wouldnt have fell in love with her and saved her life from the wine, if she wasnt a Targaryen her dragons wouldnt have hatched and without her dragons she is nothing. Without the dragons she wouldnt have gotten the Khalasar to follow her or the Unsullied, she wouldnt have done anything. Dany didnt earn or work for what she has she didnt fight her way like Brienne, Or earned a spot for years of Loyal Service like Davos, or survive because she was quick witted and fast like Arya, she certainly didnt outsmart anyone like Baelish. All she has is what she was born with nothing comes from her own merits, or something she had to work hard at. All she has is from her being lucky thats it. If Daenerys looked Like Brienne she wouldve died Years ago.

Other characters in the story make mistakes and suffer greatly from it. Ned is naive like Dany and he dies, Robb makes bad decisions like Dany and dies, Theon makes bad decisions and well he wishes he was dead, Jon makes bad decisions and dies, Oberyn 1 bad descison dead, Etc. I could go on and on but Daenerys continually makes one bad descison after another and doesnt really suffer like weve seen other characters do.

Descent Into Madness

Why I Hate Daenerys Targaryen-[C] I dont think it is any secret that I hate Dany and pretty much all of the Targaryens for th

As time goes on it becomes clearer and clearer that Daenerys is the Mad Kings Daughter, and that she has Shades of her father in her. This is noted by Tyrion on the show.

"I will crucify the Masters. I will set their fleets afire, kill every last one of their soldiers, and return their cities to the dirt. That is my plan" - Daenerys

"You told me you knew what father was. Did you know his plans for King’s Landing when the Lannister armies were at his gates? Probably not. Well, he told my brother and Jaime told me. He had caches of wildfire hidden under the Red Keep, the Guildhalls, the Sept of Baelor, all the major thoroughfares. He would have burned every one of his citizens. The loyal ones and the traitors. Every man, woman, and child. That’s why Jaime killed him.

"This is entirely different" - Daenerys

"You’re talking about destroying cities. It’s not entirely different" - Tyrion

We see she goes to the Destroy cities and kill everyone plan. This is horrifying based on the fact That Dany knows that there are innocent people in the city, she knows all the Masters arent bad, yet she doesnt care.

She knows that the Nobles arent all bad and yet before she had one barbequed by her dragons she didnt bother to see if that man was guilty or not btw. She picked This guy at random and shoved him in front of her dragon who burned him alive and knew nothing of the man of this man and had no evidence of his guilt easily couldve been innocent. After all hizdahr is standing right next to him and was arrested and it appears Hizdahr is completely innocent. Doesnt matter to Daenerys a random guy burnt and torn to pieces by her dragons. Then what does she say to the others?

"Who is Innocent? Maybe all of you are maybe none of you are maybe ill let the dragons decide" - Daenerys

This is what she says after she burns a random man and we see her dragons eat him. This is her threat to the rest of the men gathered. Once again she isnt checking to see who is guilty or who is innocent. She is just killing randomly to terrorize others into submission I believe thats called terrorism today. She talks about letting the Dragons decide this is after Drogon had killed a 4 year old girl. Guess Drogon thought a 4 year old girl deserved to die and dany thinks much the same way.

Her immediate plan when she gets to Westeros is to attack Kings Landing with her dragons. Burn the city to the ground this is even after Tyrion has warned her she sounds like the mad King. She is talked out of her plan by Tyrion then goes right back to it later on when after the Unsullied are trapped on Casterly Rock she states once again that she is going to go to Kings Landing and burn it down with the Dragons. She keeps going back to the same thing burn cities burn people. Even after repeated warnings not to and saying it is what her father did. It is still her go to method we see her fly down on drogon and burn people.

So she loves to burn people and is burning people without having any proof of their guilt and they may be innocent. This sounds a lot like her father, its very clear that she is on the road to becoming a mad Queen. Speaking of mad queen

"If they harm one hair on her head i will burn their cities to the ground" - Cersei Lannister

Dany and cersei both talk about burning down entire cities they really are the same person and have tons of similarities but thats for another blog.

In her last Dance Chapter we see Dany slowly descend further into madness. She has completely abandoned any thoughts of peace, ruling, or reconciliation and gone back to bringing Fire and Blood.

" what you are, what you were meant to be, your words" FIRE AND BLOOD - Daenerys

We see after all this time in Meereen, after her failed expierment at ruling she goes right back to Fire and blood. To killing first and asking questions later, conquering instead of ruling, War and violence instead of peace. To bringing death and destruction to the land instead of peace and prosperity. Daenerys Targaryen is clearly Mad drunk on power and hell bent on one thing and one thing only the Iron Throne. She cares about nothing else but that.

Even the director of the last episode of Season 6 says

"At the end of the scene you should be somewhat roused by her and horrified" - Jack Bender

He then goes on to say she isnt quite Hitler at Nuremberg but we should be afraid of all the power she has. Now the reason we should be afraid is when we look at her track record she doesnt handle power well. We should always be wary of a Sadist in a position of power.

She Burns People

She loves to burn people we see her in the pic above smirk before she burns all the khals. She burns people in Astapor, Meereen, Yunkai on the show, she burns a random guy for no other reason other than intimidation, she threatens to burn Varys and she burns I do not think we should gloss over or cheer on burning people alive. Not with Dany, Stannis, Cersei, Tyrion, Melisandre or any of the red priests. Burning is excruciatingly painful and should never be done by anyone. I don't even like it when the wights are burnt but I can get past them not being people. I worry about the possibility that Gregor will be burnt if anyone deserves a painful death it is him but he doesn't deserve to be burned no one does. Even in my extreme hatred for Dany or Mel or Gregor I don't wish fire on them. I find it appaling that so many people cheer on when things are burnt. I always throw up when someone is burned and usually change the channel immediately. Fire should never be used on anyone no matter how vile yet Dany doesn't seem to have any reservations about burning people alive. She doesn't care about the brutality of it how it scars people for life even if they survive, or how it affects people even watching others be burned. She burns people many times without just cause and moves on not dealing with the aftermath.

Conclusion

*Daenerys quite simply put is a monster shes done far worse things than many of the so called villians in the story. She shows clear signs of madness and that she is her fathers daughter.

*She is entitled as hell and thinks everything should be her hers just because.

*She is an absolutely horrific ruler and Tyrant who brings nothing but death and destruction to Astapor and Meereen. I mean situation is so bad in Meereen she has former slaves begging to be sold back into slavery. Imagine how hard and terrible life must be if there longing for the better days when they were a slave.

*She doesnt care about slavery and even enslaves people herself.

*She doesnt care at all about the Meereenese and looks down on their culture

*Shes a complete Hypocrite always droning on urpers when she is one herself as well as her claiming to hate slavery and calling herself the breaker of chains when enslaving people

*She has a simple world view and wont have anyone complicating that for her.

*She hates it when people question her or point out her hypocrisy or failure instead of using it to grow

*She was born into everything she has, all she has ever accomplished comes from her being born a Targaryen and or pretty nothing comes from her own merit

*Shes a sadist who loves to hurt people

*She has no idea about politics and hates to compromise believing both to be beneath her

*Boring

*Suffers from having a terrible actress play her everything about Emilia Clarke is annoying from her eyebrows to her voice to especially the total of 3 facial expressions she knows

*She burns people alive inflicting indescribable pain and suffering on not only those she burns but those who witness it.

Quite Simply

Sorry if I'm about.. Two years late, but I gotta say I agree.

I was neutral about Dany the first five seasons and then from season six-onwards... No. Just no.

*Even Jon and Dany being paired off together was awkward and definitely forced. Kit and Emilia don't even have chemistry together for that matter.*

Yea they had no chemistry especially if you look at Kits chemistry with Rose or even Emilias with Jason. I think the characters don't make much sense either especially if we are including books. In hindsight I was right about Dany and I will be right in the books as well.
