The war was between Danny and Cercei you say. So why did she not go for Cercei when she had the chance but decided to kill innocents.

Yes the soldiers are tools to fight, but once you tools are disarmed you are a sitting dock just like how Cercei was and Danny had all the time to kill her but suddenly decided it was the innocents that she had a grouse with.

How can what the soldiers do be immaterial? Most tyrants only hang on to power because they have an army. The day this army turn on them they are finished. So what the soldiers do in mot immaterial guy.

Killing innocents is not normal in Modern warfare!

Why did the Germans not kill every man and rape every woman when they annexed Austria?

watch the episode again, she wanted to burn the city to the ground so she mainly targeted buildings. hard to burn only buildings in a very poorly planned city like kingslanding, most of the people were killed by the collapsing buildings and the soldiers. some were killed by the fire ofcourse, dragon fire is not very accurate.
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by melodyogonna(m): 6:32pm On May 19, 2019
The show is wrong by showing the burning from everyone's POV but Dany's. It would have been clearer she was targeting buildings not people running for their lives on the streets.

Haha this is the funniest thing i have read here.

Burning which building? Someone that was specifically targeting the peasants, burning them through the streets, it was only when a building was in the way that it got burnt. You are here saying it was the building she was targeting.

After she took out Eurons fleet she targeted the scorpions and then the peasants.

It was the citadel and the red keep she specifically targeted as structures after she had satisfied herself roasting the poor peasants.

You are the one that needs to rewatch that scene.

She won the war already. She could have gone to the Red Keep and burn it down, but she chose to destroy the whole city. If her intentions was to burn kings landing to the ground, doing it without innocent people in it was possible. Why not burn it after everyone move away?

She was betrayed, we know.
She lost loved ones, we know.

Other characters were betrayed and they lost loved ones, too. I didn't see any of them focusing their anger on destroying innocent lives when it wasn't neccesary. The writers made Cerci mad. They want us to believe she isn't fit to be a ruler. I guess are successful.

You have not been paying attention, she was in a very mad rage.
When Rhaenys was killed by scorpion bolt in Dorne, Aegon her brother(and husband) and Visenya her sister both mounted their dragons and burned dorned soo much only charred black stones. Dorne was burned and burned again, then burned again and again and again without minding if there were innocent people or not - that's what happens when someone is in mad rage.
Wars do not have a happy ending.

And she didn't focus her anger on destroying innocent civilians, she focused her anger on a city that has caused her so much pain since she was a child; innocent civilians just happened to be in the city when they should be outside it.

People normally run away from cities when it's about to be sacked or besieged not the other way around.
If a city is besieged - thousands of innocent people, sometimes millions starve. if a city is stormed, thousands of innocent people are killed, only difference is thousands of innocent ladies get raped as well. If a city is marked to be destroyed completely - well.

Bro, they couldn't use the original set because they had to burn down buildings for real. Those buildings Drogon burnt down were burnt for real, it's not CGI.


They weren't allowed to destroy the buildings in the original KL set so they had to build a whole new kings landing in Spain before shooting the last episode.

That's true.

I just watched the video detailing how that happened.

Imagine designing and building a city all to raze it down.

That must have been a heck of a budget they got.

You know what? Lets die this matter. The last episode is in a couple of hours. Lets see if we would be able to make sense outta all that happened to justify or condemn her actions in E5. Thats if she no commit another one. grin

Guys I think I now understand what she did.
I don't think her intentions were to burn innocent people, she made a decision to burn kingslanding to the ground which unfortunately had people in them. I think the writers focusing on the common folks made it look like she was deliberately burning innocent people but as D& D said, they focused on the common folks to show who actually suffered the decisions of the high lords and ladies.
The city caused her so much pain she decided to burn it to the ground, I expect she will rule from dragonstone.

as I said earlier, those folks were at the wrong place at the wrong time and they have cercei and her propaganda agents to thank for it, she made them believe inside the city was the safest place to be while in reality she wanted to use them as shields - she also wanted to use them to implicate Dany cos she knew thousands of them would die if the city was to be stormed, that way it would look like she was trying to protect her common folks and Dany came and burned them all with her dragons.

Dany agreed to bring her peaceful terms despite losing a child, a term that would have saved the lives of everyone in the city, what did cercei do? she drove Dany further into both a mad rage, mourning and loneliness by killing the sister she could not have - Missandei was her best friend, her closest confidant, her most trusted advisor and her sister. Cercei killed everyone in that city as much as Dany. If I had a dragon and a large army I doubt I wouldn't do much worse than her in that situation. I would have made sure there will be no stone left standing on another. to make matters worse, this varys was planning treason right under her nose and Jon refused to be a shoulder to cry on (this is the point I missed ser Jorah the most). If Jon had not acted like a fool she would have blurted out her thoughts amid tears which would have meant an opportunity to talk her out of it.

Mtchew this whole thing just dey vex me.
don't mind all the self-righteousness you see on these pages. Many of them wouldn't even forgive an okada rider who scratch their cars.

You're still in denial. Anyways I no get time to dey argue anymore. You can see whatever you want to see.
I only hope Jon is not the one that gets to kill Dany. Not after she's saved him multiple times and even lost a dragon because of him.

I really hope so cuz Dany dying would be really sadistic. Her character's been through a lot. Went through a lot in the hands of her brother, escaped many assassination attempts, lost her child, lost two dragons, 2 of her closest friends dies protecting her cause, lost all her allies and associates, the man she loves doesn't really feel the same way about her anymore, she became mad resulting to the death of innocent people and then she'll be killed by the man she loves and be forever be remembered as the mad queen. That's too tragic.

Dany deserves to rule all the kingdoms. There is no one else who should or can rule, but, if she dies, I really hope she takes sansa and tyrion with her.


P.S
Is tyrion the last lannister alive? if he dies the lannister name dies with him?

She didnt need to see Cersie but she would pick some strategic building to strike expecting that Christie would definitely be in one of those buildings. Atleast we would know she was specifically trying to kill Cersie and not just turning on the citizens.

Imagine trying to take over the seat of power in naija starting with Abuja.after you take out the military, aso rock is next, then senators quarters or estate in maitama and the NASS complex and then some other symbolic places instead of going to nyanya and mararaba to kill people. Does that make sense.

After she took out Eurons fleet and the scorpions she decended on the citizens. It was later she went for the red keep and citadel. If Euron had not delayed Jamie she might really had escaped while madam mad queen was busy torching peasants who did nothing to her.
in westerosi history, loosing rulers have been known to disguise as commoners to evade capture, a history danny is probably familiar with, so does this information give you a little perspective on a probable reason for her actions?

you're thinking things up that's delusional. Why will Cersei dig up something that is already buried under all the major buildings in Kingslanding and plant them back where she dug them up?
Cersei didn't in anyway anticipate losing considering how easily the first two dragons died

Had she taking out the expected placea that Cersie most likely would be
before having a thought that Cersie might be escaping like one of the peasants on the street.

You want to kill somebody, after killing the security at the estate gate, instead of going straight to the persons house you start from the beginning of the street killing people and your justification is that the person might be in any of the houses when you have not even been to his house. grin
thats the problem isn't it, there is no expected place for a fleeing disguised defeated former ruler, the safest bet is always everywhere and anywhere

Lord knows season 8 has been underwhelming, not necessarily because it's the worst thing on TV(not even close), but majorly due to the bitter fact that it has become a shocking deviant from the sunflower that once captivated the whole world.

Lord knows I'll probably never forgive D & D for shape-shifitng my baby from a growing, maturing & compassionate leader into the Mad queen so sudden & fast that the death of her character development came like premature ejaculation. Never saw that coming!

Lord knows I'm still burning from how Jon snow melted under the intense heat of bad writing. Even the Lord of light cannot undo this knife to the heart. There was a time when Jon was "hands-down" my favorite character but now?..... I don't want it

Lord knows they ruined Tyrion for me. Once upon a time, I counted myself lucky & privileged to watch this man speak. Today he has become short of wits & wisdom, and descended so low that his character is as hollow as his favorite chalice of wine.

This is the height...for somebody who once stood tall. A sad irony that he wasn't able to dwarf his previous achievements as the seasons progressed. Tyrion refused to grow. What a pity.

Lord knows I've detached my emotions from the season finale and made peace with the possible inevitability of a heart-wrenching "wtf!! this-does-not-even-make-sense" ending. Lord knows.

Lord knows... Lord knows ... lord knows.... there's alot to talk & complain about, BUT take a moment and pause --- The final episode of GoT will air in a few hours and that's bye bye!! Bye bye to Dragons, everything!!!

You will never get back this moment. Never. So maybe you should pause and take a moment to truly appreciate what has been an amazing journey, an amazing 8 years of being part of something truly spectacular & breathtaking.

This is your moment and nobody should take it away from you, not even D & D( complains can fully resume with fire & brimstone immidiately the final episode airs grin grin. Me sef go join grin) .

This is your chance to look back at where it all began & enjoy goddamnnn moment -- from Bran falling from that tower, the beheading of Ned stark, The red wedding etc to where we currently are. This is your chance to truly experience the highlight of your 8 years of emotional investment. You will never get this moment back. Bleep D & D.. You should enjoy it. This is your moment!! wink
