I swear people whining about Season 8 must have some extreme form of ADHD where they can't follow plots for more than 5 minutes.
It might have been rushed, but Dany turning into the mad queen has been foreshadowed for a long time now. Heck even in Season 1 she showed signs of being a psychopath. When she bought the unsullied she proved to be a bit of an underhanded dick as well.
She had been flirting with wanting to burn the capitol for a while, and seemed quite reluctant to agree to stop the siege if the bells rang so when the bells actually rang and she didn't stop the siege, it makes sense. And even in that episode, when Jon refuses to fuck her, she says "Let it be fear then".
I don't know why anyone acts like it was some shock that the bells set her off. If you followed the plot of the same episode it happened in, it wasn't a shock or a surprise.
The only way anyone can say Dany turning into the mad queen was not set up, was not foreshadowed, or came out of the clear blue is if you are incapable of following plot for more than 5 minutes at a time. At which point I recommend watching the WWE because they don't follow plot for more than 5 minutes either.
The issue is not with the detractors attention spans or even with various plot points, it's the writing. Everyone figured Dany would go full Mad Queen at some point, especially after her time in Mereen. Not our fault you settle for slime covered shit. ---
