Most people aren't upset about the Mad Queen, they are upset because it came out of nowhere and was so unearned. It was just lazy writing.

That's why episode 5 is the lowest rated episode in GOT history by critics and fans alike

The season has certainly been a flop, no denying that, but I agree that this development was fantastic. Gods toss a coin, Mad King history, she's been through a lot of shit herself and lost/been betrayed by trusted/loved ones, I don't understand why everyone is so baffled by this.

That's nothing. Were you there for the Dark Battle? I was. Still no fucking idea what happened.

Tbh I just want everyone in this series to die now though. My perfect ending is every main character dies, Bran goes back in time and changes everything and makes the entire show meaningless.

You mean episode 3? Yeah that was when I lost all hope for this season.

Danny did nothing wrong!

They had their chance to show loyalty to the rightful queen and overthrow Cersei. Quite honestly they should've a long time ago. They chose their side.

I like the idea of it and had been hoping that this is where her story goes for a long time. I just don't think they did a good job getting to that point.

Yeah I would have LOVED if they did the Mad Queen storyline right.

I have no issue with them making it a plot point and love the concept.

But the execution was so fucking awful I refuse to defend it.

It's garbage.

No one is baffled by her eventually snapping under all the weight. We understand and accept that it's a feasible outcome for her character. What we're baffled by is that bells ringing and the surrender of innocents was the event that finally sent her over the edge. She didn't go over the edge when her armies died at Winterfell, she didn't go over the edge when Rhaegal was killed, she didn't go over the edge when Missandei was executed, she went over the edge when she took King's Landing with basically no civilian casualties and then apparently decided that that wasn't acceptable.

Why didn't they just keep Rhaegal alive, everything plays out the same, bells ring, Dany accepts the surrender, then Cersei fires a cheap shot scorpion and kill Rhaegal then? At least then I can kind of see why she is mad. It is like they are trying to write this as horrible as possible.

Meh, it makes some sense. With her goal of the iron throne in hand and the bitch who had done so much damage to her at her mercy she saw red and went crazy. She hadn't intended to save these civilians anyway, the show explained that and why she wasn't going to.

It's almost like...those things added onto each other and caused her change in attitude which then caused the post-bell attack.

Because even after they were surrendering she felt like Jon would end up taking the throne from her if she was too merciful. Now people are scared of her

This would have made perfect sense and would have been totally in character for Cersei to do.

Came out of nowhere? What the literal fuck are you talking about? It was obvious this was being set up ever since she came to Westoros. The Lannister deaths are what ruined this episode. Daenerys' progression was logical and dramatic.

I get that it was widely predicted and built up to (as much as the show does build up lol) but imo it's kinda lazy to just go with it too. And that would extend to the books if they did it too fwiw.

Like to just be like 'lol her dad was crazy so is she, baby!!!!' without any sort of nuance or distinctive factors built into it just seems bad. Maybe this is another thing where the showrunners go with some very wonky characterisation and it ends up jarring badly with where they want the character to end up
