For 7 seasons Dany has shown us glimpses of how cruel she can be. Problem is she never directed that anger and cruelty to innocent men, women, and children.

In the span of 2-3 episodes she undergoes a huge character shift to being the type of person she swore she'd never be.

If it had been paced better nobody would be saying shit.

It makes more sense if you consider what had happened right before that. She lost Jorah and MIssandei, and then just prior to the battle she thought she had been betrayed by several of her most loyal followers, including the person she loved most. The impulses to assert her power were already there, and those events tipped her over the edge. It's not bad writing, you just have to look a little deeper.
