It made sense. You're acting like she didn't lose everything to these people. Like she wasn't advised not to do what she did (and thus lost people trying to be peaceful). She lost her child to these people. She lost her other child trying to get their help and convince them to fight the dead. She lost her best friend for...no real reason.

And then she had her own people undermining her, like Varys (who may or may not have tried to kill her) and Tyrion. No one loved her, not even Jon (in her mind). And when they surrendered, there was no cheering or standing up for her like she wanted/is used to. No love, only fear of her dragon. So she sent a message. She burned down everything to instill true fear in everyone else.

Good post. But at this point people are so hardwired on not listen to the reason, its really is irritating

based on what you just told me, it would make sense for her to go crazy and just destroy king's landing and the citizens immediately. what's the reason for waiting for the bells to toll? Because she 'expected cheering and standing up'? That's a much weaker explanation in isolation than it is when you string it together like that. Makes no damn sense that that's what pushed her over the edge, and if that's what they were intending, that's the kind of character beat they should have foreshadowed more strongly.
