8 TV Scenes Everyone Always Gets Wrong
7. Daenerys Burns King's Landing - Game Of Thrones
The final season of Game Of Thrones was a kind of disastrous ending that we don't see that often. Plenty of great shows have bad endings, but season 8 of GoT didn't just disappoint fans, it took a show that RULED THE DAMN WORLD, and wiped it off the face of pop culture forever.
With that having been said, sticking up at all for this season can cause one to lose all credibility and be subjected to truly vicious mockery. But if your writer cared about that sort of thing, they wouldn't choose to be the only vocal defender of Rise Of Skywalker, now would I?
How the show handled Daenerys' fall from grace was not well executed at all, but the idea that her burning down King's Landing came completely out of nowhere is simply wrong. This is a woman who has only ever had and needed one solution for her problems: if it's in my way, it burns.
King's Landing was in her way, so King's Landing burned.
Daenerys' fall represents a character's most admirable trait - in her case, her unwavering conviction and belief in her own righteousness - being turned into her greatest failing. Turns out that people with that kind of conviction can be real a**holes when they're suddenly on the other side of the argument.
Which more fans would understand... if the actual execution of this downward spiral wasn't a complete clusterf*ck. Again, this season is bad, no argument here.
