Idk how people think going from killing enemy leaders who won't submit is the same as killing old people, women, children, and even her own people who were there to fight for her. And all of that after her enemies already surrendered.
It's like they went from step 1 through 3 in the first 7 seasons, and then in one episode skipped straight to 10 on the madness scale.
She lost too much in short time, it was not just madness but desperation
This. Ever since she came to Westeros she lost her Dothraki, half of the Unsullied, the iron fleet, the Tyrells, 2 dragons, Jorah, and Missandai. The man she fell in love with and fought his war for turns out to be her nephew and has a better claim to the throne. She asks him to keep it a secret knowing it will fuck things up and 5 mins later he is telling his whole family.... because Jons an idiot who apparently didnt inherit Neds ability to hold on to a secret. When her Hand found out Tyrion blabbed about it instead of going to her and her other advisor started sending ravens out.
Not only that but she has tried 4 times to take Tyrions advice and let Cersei surrender, the last time Cersei beheaded her best friend whose last words were Dracrys.
I mean all this shit happened in 2 seasons, not too sure what the hell people thought was going to happen.
What does any of that have to do with murdering innocent women and children?
Oh, what's that? Nothing? Okay.
It has everything to do with that. She snapped. It happens. Okay. ---
