This makes me even sadder at Season 8. It had the potential to be really great with the Mad Queen storyline, but instead just decided to have a random descent. She had all the buildup and then...it just all fell. This video shows all the amazing potential.

I commented this somewhere else as well but I’ll just say it again : I think the mad queen storyline had the potential to be great, but rushed writing and poor storylines caused it to be one of the biggest disasters in tv history. They should have had more time, more seasons, they certainly had plenty of money to do it and I feel like a change from saviour to mad queen would have been amazing, like the change for Jaime Lannister, everyone hated him and grew to love him. If they had done that with Dany (which is a lot harder to do; loved to evil) they should have done it a lot better and not ruined it. It would have been interesting to see if they had just spent more time developing her character into an evil one. I think George R.R. Martin will turn Dany into an evil queen in the Books, but undoubtedly will do it much better than D&D and I rlly hope the other characters get proper endings as well ie. Jaime Lannister 😭

Taku Music the video portrays it better than the show did tbh, it was just that so much happened over two episodes, people were so angry cuz dany was portrayed as a protagonist for many seasons and her build up as a good character was long and detailed and then in just a few episodes so much happened that turned her ‘mad’, in pretty sure people just wanted the change from good to bad to be more lengthy so it would live up to the previous sophistication of the show and do her character justice, I would love if they had managed to turn her character into someone we hated as much as Cersei, but that would take so much time, they tried doing it but it should have taken many more episodes to perfect. The problem was that tons of people lived Daenerys and her change into the mad queen was too fast and didn’t allow a build up of hate and so her madness just seemed uncharacteristic of her personality. They should have extended the story so they could carve out another storyline that would have undone all her good deeds if they wanted to make her mad. It was just too fast

This is so well done, it really shows her arc really well. I'm kind of sick of the fan vids that only show her positive traits and recently it's made me dislike her but this shows her negative traits as well, the ones that made her an interesting character.

Exactly! I understand the reasons they like her but she has flaws to, she's not a god. (They should have made it more obvious of her turning dark) *Cause I know most people want it to be easy than been made to look for it* I was a bit disappointed with how they did that.

Dany's character felt like it could've been such a fascinating inversion of what it means to be "the chosen one". She's more powerful than anyone else, more closely tied to destiny than anyone else, but the fatal flaw is that she cannot see anyone but herself as the savior. And seeing her believably turn into a villain would have turned a character I really couldn't care for into someone I probably would have stanned for the rest of my life, lol. Instead I found myself feeling bad for Dany in this season, because I just didn't understand the writing she was put through. Anyway, great video, I can feel the frustration you must have felt trying to finish it, knowing how it ends! I especially loved the "They can live in my new world," "Or refuse - " "- And die in their old one", a super clever overlap!

Thank you for this. While I still feel Daenerys was utterly ill-served and done dirty by the writers, it wasn't her fall into madness on its face that I disapproved of. It was, simply, their horrible way of getting there in no time at all. Daenerys' fall should be the tragedy you display here -- not a coin flip where the gentle hearted breaker of chains abruptly strafes city blocks and murders children...

People talking about Targaryen madness as a major issue are non readers. The current experience that we have about it is Viserys, but since the first time we read/watched him, we knew he was cruel ,evil and entitled, he said and did a lot of stuff that made us believe he was up to no good, and his actions could be described as meaness and cruelty, even in the peak of his "mental condition", he chose to threat Khal Drogo where he knew they couldn't share any blood, add some wine and he felt the courage to do so. Even the so called Daenerys madness in the books is an exaggeration , if you read her chapters not knowing about it, you'll think she's just like Robb or Jon after becoming Lord Commander , a young and naive leader, struggling to know what's right or wrong, being confronted for their lack of experience the whole time and always trying to fulfill expectations they're not prepared to. I also believe she's connect to the Long Night somehow and she will need a strong and clear mind to deal with the White Walkers.

Your videos got me into ASOIAF and despite the lackluster final season, I don’t regret watching it. Your view of Daenerys is perfect, in my opinion. She’s definitely a complex character, and I think you have summed up a lot of the aspects of her personality and have been wise enough to understand how she parallels and echoes many people we think of as tyrants today, from history. You’re genuinely one of the most talented editors I have ever known, and it is truly wonderful to know that you have gained such a deep and poignant and human understanding of all these characters. I think the biggest crime committed against Dany’s character has been people unknowingly painting her as undeniably good and undeniably bad, and you adhere to neither of these stances and see her for what she is. It is hard to put into words, an entire person’s character and soul, without sounding like Virginia Woolf on opioids, but your videos come entirely close to doing so (and they’re not even an 8,000 word Times article, which inevitably ends with much confusion and a shamefully simplified conclusion) and for that I would like to thank you, you’re genuinely one of the most talented people on this platform.

I remember the first time I watched your Kingdom Fall vid and not wanting to believe Dany would become the series' ultimate antagonist... She's been such a powerhouse of inspiration to me that I couldn't (or didn't want to) imagine her as the queen of the ashes. As time went on and I dug more into the source text, I felt her turn coming but was so disappointed by how the show got there. Months after the finale, it still blows my mind that _that_ was it. Thank you for paying Dany and all of her complexities the respect her character deserves.

This almost makes me accept what happened to Danny and look like it was a slow decent into madness vs how the show did it. Thank you I love it Danny will always be my favorite

I've been trying for literal days to put into words how much I love this video, but really, all I've got is I love this video!!! But seriously, this is the perfect encapsulation of Daenerys's journey. I will forever be bitter over the execution of season 8, but this video actually makes me want to rewatch the series in its entirety again (which I haven't felt for a long time because of, well, season 8). It also makes me appreciate Emilia's acting over the series. Your editing is just sooo good--not just with the effects but also the timing with the music and the trajectory of the story you're telling. I've rewatched so many of your videos, and Kingdom Fall was the one I would always show to other people when they didn't believe that Daenerys would become the villain in season 8. You're just so talented!!

Daenerys is definitely going to go down as one of the greatest character demolishing in the history of television. The fan video treated her with way more care than the showrunners who just turned her into a blonde Sauron. Myself has started reading the books and so much better even scenes I thought were really good in the show are way superior in the book. Daenerys is so great character in them and complex. Emilia Clarke did a great job but god they spat in her face by the end. Still, don't get why Season 2 turned her into a brat whilst she was way more intelligent in the books at that point.

This is really really beautiful. And powerful. And really shows her as a character. For who she is.

She was the best caracter..... it s just a shame to destroy it -_-

She never was one of my favorite characters even if I found her fascinating. I think it was mostly because of the fandom and Emilia herself which whitewashed her all the time. I still getting angry about the people who were disappointed about the final because Daenerys didn't got her happy ending. It was never about that. If the ending wouldn't be slapped down loveless and rushed (by the writters, not the actors and the crew!), Daenerys still would have had her downfall. I love this video and your description so much. It's one of those videos I still come back even if I don't watch Daenerys videos normally. :D But your point of view is my point of view and it totally came through in this masterpiece.

What an amazing video. Bravo! This is one of the best I’ve seen.

Loved your video and your description of her character arc

Thank you! I love the Linkin Park and this is a great video! Your editings are one of the best!! Thanks!!

So much writing and acting potential (Emilia would be amazing, we got only but a glimpse) in this twist w a s t e d. I completely agree with what you're saying in the description. When people call D&D Dumb and Dumber etc, I disagree. They are not stupid, that's the easy way out. For me it is obvious that from a point on, they just stopped care. It is such a shame. Your videos are always awesome btw

The chills, man, the chills!!! A-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!

This is absolutely amazing! You really picked the perfect song to go with it.

A suberb analysis told through edited video found in the source material. The clues were always there. My favorite clue: from memory: "Politics involves compromise." Dany: "I'm a Queen, not a politician." As a great philosopher once put it: "When you believe in things you don't understand, then you suffer." Others suffered because Dany believed a queen was not required to compromise with others. She died because she held this belief and because the belief made her a scourge on the loose.

This was wonderful!

You summed it up nicely in your description, if anyone saw her rise in mereen and the reasons of her restrain against her enemies, would understand completely. How our loved ones tether us to humanity in real life. Which in the end she lost. And if you've read the books you'd be more awed how amazingly this character is written.

This is amazing 👌

Beautiful editing and you are one of the best vidders! (although i do still disagree with your interpretation of dany but that has more to do with believing she has a different role in terms of asoiaf)

I 100% agree with everything you wrote. To me as well, it was predictable that they would take this route for her. She has always been cruel. While not evil, definitly not a good person either. And even when I didn't feel it came "out of nowhere", the change from giving up her goal for the greater good, to burning an entire city down just because... well.. it just didn't deliver. Everything between the long night and the battle at Kings Landing we would've needed at least another episode to make it work and it's so frustrating because I agree with almost every idea that the ending had. WHAT happened was never my problem with it, just the HOW. But anyway, this should be about the video, not the show. I honestly loved this edit, I had shivers from about the middle point to the end because you're just -so- good with voiceovers and I love how you jump back and forth between her being a good person and a mad man, because that's essentially what Dany is all about. One of the best and most thorought Dany tributes I've seen for sure.

Like I said, she wasn't -evil-. People can be just.. neutral, you know. She had great goals, she definitely cared for people.

@Cynthia Zavala But D&D retconned her entire character in season 8. What I meant by saying that D&D retconned her entire character in season 8, this is what D&D wants us to swallow with this new Dany: -Dany’s exclusive motivation forever has been the Iron Throne. Until she fell in love with Jon. Any other motivations (compassion, freeing slaves etc.) or actions are purely in the viewers head and a misinterpretation. What she told Sansa in 8x02 was not a diplomatic decision to leave certain things out (and what diplomatic purpose would be served by leaving her good motivations out anyhow?), but the actual truth about what she thought. -Dany is in the North to fight the War against the Dead, not because she has come to believe in the greater importance of Jon’s cause, or any noble motivation. In fact that has nothing to do with it (contrary to what we saw in 7x06). No, she is here only out of love of Jon. -Dany still compelled Jon and demanded he bend the knee as a condition of her help (contra 7x06). Hence Jon’s statement in 8x01 that he had to either keep his Crown or save the North was not meant to throw Dany under the bus but rather a retcon of what we saw in season 7. The fact that Dany and her advisors didn't react to what he said makes it more nonsensical. -Dany is essentially an unfeeling psychopath with respect to all people other than the few she actually cares for and has deep attachments to (e.g. Jorah, Missandei, and most prominently, Jon). The statement by the Samwell Tarly actor after 8x01 was correct in this as far as what the show was actually trying to show us in that scene between Dany and Sam. We didn’t see it that way back then because, once again, that makes no sense with the woman we have come to know in prior seasons. As a result the only things that can be used to motivate her not to act in the worst and most evil ways possible are either pragmatic arguments about how she may be perceived (because she does not want to appear like a psychopath) or the concern that a particular action may make her fall in the eyes of the very few people she actually does care for. Nothing else. No deeper or evolved sense of morality. Retconned out. -Dany’s motivations for the throne are purely selfish. She is not doing it (even in part) out of any sense of duty to the restoration and continuation of House Targaryen (as, for example, can be argued for others who want to restore the feudal position of their Houses). The fact that she has additional family does not make her happy in the least. There is no conflict in heart whatsoever on the issue. It is just a problem for her pure and simple. The fact that she may have a way to continue the Targaryen dynasty after her (a deep concern for book Dany and even show Dany in 7x07) does not even register. These concerns are gone. Retconned out. -Any and every (apparent) act of benevolence or kindness from her is actually nothing more than a manipulative act meant to get her closer to the throne (or to tie the few people she loves more closely to her). That is why Sansa’s looks when she legitimizes Gendry are so nasty. -Dany is too unwilling to take the opinion of anyone else and will force her own views on anything, even on Jon if they were married. She is never going to allow an equal partner in any sense. Forget that she almost accepted every piece of advice he gave her in season 7 when they weren’t even as close as they should be now. Somehow being much more in love will make her less likely to listen to him. Because she has been retconned again. -Even her character development about recognizing the Mad King’s evils is reversed. Sansa can forgive Jaime’s recent transgressions against her family despite Jaime telling her to her face that he’d do it again coz it was war. But Dany wants to avenge the mad King. No recognition that he was an evil man as she said to Jon in 7x03. And finally -Dany actually suffers, at least to some degree, from the old Targaryen madness too, and it starts manifesting when she is angry, or unhappy etc. And no, her going mad queen was never going to happen. Did you forget that she was a teenager who fell in love with Drogo because of Stockholm Syndrome? Characters throughout the series have sacked cities and murdered innocents all over the place. Robb ordered his men to rape and pillage their way through the Westerlands in order to "pay Tywin Lannister back with his own coin." That kind of standard medieval warfare is totally different than the decision to murder an entire city of innocent people for no reason after the city has surrendered. The fact that the show makes Dany a mass murdering psychopath proves absolutely nothing. The show has completely misrepresented every single character in the series - why should we assume it's representing Dany in a fair way now when it never has before? Just because some plot points are going to be similar doesn't mean the characterization will be. Every single character in the show has been twisted into some funhouse version of themselves so D&D can validate their own moral judgements about the book characters. Take Tyrion for example: In the books, Tyrion pledges to kill Jaime, Cersei, and Tywin. He murders Shae - it's not self defense. He goes to Essos and rapes a few slaves, hoping that he can make them hate him as much as he hates himself. He convinces fAegon to sail his Golden Company army to Westeros because he wants to see the world burn down. Then he goes to Dany, intent on doing the same thing, and he asks that in return for his service he should be allowed to rape and kill his sister. In the show, he's a funny dwarf. He goes to Dany because gee-whiz he just wants to make the world a better place - isn't that great? He drinks and he knows things and makes cock jokes to Varys! LOL!! I'm sure they some plot points are similar, but the characterization is comically off-mark. Dany's not going to be a villain in the books any more than Tyrion is going to be a hero. George writes grey characters, but D&D have simplified everyone down to cardboard "good guys" and "bad guys" based on which ones they like and dislike. One of the main issue is that the show equates ruthless ambition with madness. I think in the books Daenerys is going towards a path of being so ruthless that she is called mad (by her enemies) but that she is never mentally ill like her father was. Making her mad takes away all her agency as a character and reduces the weight of her choices as something "she couldn't help doing because she's crazy.'' Making her mad turns her into a one-dimensional villain.

I couldn't imagine listening to this song without the words from GoT. I disagree strongly with your understanding and portrayal of Dany, but I appreciate the aesthetic pleasure I derive from it. I see what you're trying to show me.

So damn good!!!! Girl you know I agree with everything you wrote. And yes yes yes it’s what makes Dany such a good flawed character it’s such a shame D&D botched the execution 😭 but this??? This is epic!!!

Love your description! It's so articulate and exactly what I feel towards her character also, of course she is going to be the bad guy. It all pointed that way, from the slave masters view point she has been the villain for quite some time! "History is written by the victors" is a saying that comes to mind. It could of been handled so much better than it was. Oh well I'll wait for the books and see how george ends it! Love your glitchy effects and the song couldn't be more perfect for Daenerys. Beautiful scene choice. I especially liked your use of the "wake the dragon" quote. Sent chills down my spine. Beautiful work as always

I usually don’t watch your GoT stuff because I’m not a Sansa person and we have different opinions of Dany, but I just knew this would be beautifully done. And it was 👍 Probably the last Game of Thrones thing I’ll ever watch

Very well done. Amazing

Wow that short clip that flashes between visereon and viserys

I think the way she ended was the way she was going to end since the beginning. The hope that become the threat. But I think we would have needed at least twelve episode to end this well. You just depicted her way to madness so well.

This was awesome :) and the songchoice, well done! Daenerys, I loved her in season 1, she grew from exciled princess to great khaleesi and mother of dragons. And with season 2 and 3 her story slowly started to show her fire and blood temper and we were being prepared for her becoming main antagonist, yes, i agree her story in last season was rushed, but.. the story itself would still be the same if there was more seasons, the things that effected her the most had to happen in short period of time (jorah's death, rhaegal's death, missandei's death) so she wouldn't have time to recover from all those things , it had to happen all at once so she would't have time to recover after each of these events.. and all of these things which happened at once just woked the dragon in her. So.. in the end, for me.. I think, that they had to speed her story little bit.

She deserved better than season 8 gave her... Great vid by the way 😁

The soft hearted Daenerys died throughout season 1🤷🏻‍♀️

I just read your description and just had a few thoughts. Lovely video by the way. I like the idea behind Daenerys being morally grey because she needed to be in order to be the ruler she envisioned for the world. She needed to hold evil men accountable for their actions, I don't think she's ever been a non morally grey heroic figure. She's always been morally grey but still heroic until the gaslighting narrative of s8 that made it so her pain and trauma consumed her and she became her own worst fear. However I don't agree with how you said in her last conversation with Jon that she had always seen the world that way. That her version is the best version of the world, that people around her don't get to choose. I think that was the sign that Dany we had known for seven and a half seasons had been consumed by the constant conflict, trauma, loss and pain of her life but she's always been the queen/leader the people around her chose. She listens to the grievances of not just highborns but small folk as well. To say that she's always viewed her perspective of what the world should be as the only right one is weird to me considering how much her story relies on the people around her choosing her and how much she turns to her council to advise her on how to make her leadership for the world better for its people. Also how much she fears that her perspective will become the same as her father's and she'll become like him. I also think saying she wants to be the one turning the wheel is also weird. Considering she's open to negotiation with other nations having their own rule and power without her being present at all. She gave the Greyjoys independence in s6 remember and if she's always wanted to rule over the world by herself, then why do that? I mean in the books she longs for a simple life away from power and in the show she includes her own house as a spoke on the wheel she wants to destroy. Why would she include her own house as that spoke if she wants it and herself at the center of it? Also I wanted to say that she doesn't dracarys anyone who disagrees. Barristan, Tyrion and Jon are just the few examples of the people who went against her initial ideas and words, men she's listened to and taken their words into account instead of punishing and going dracarys to them. She's really only ever dracarysed (before s8) slavers, rapists and traitors (the tarlys betrayed their leige lords and her allies). Anything else her dragons did, like an innocent child, she was against and risked her connections with her children so it wouldn't happen again until the shit storm of s8. Lovely video edit, she is a wonderful morally grey character like everyone else in the series, I just don't agree with your outlook on her characterization and how she was always meant to go this way. Especially considering the poor foreshadowing the writers used to justify their decision.

Sorry this is so long, I'm a big fan of your edits and hope to become just as skilled an editor as you one day.

Oh and I just wanted to add that even when she burned KL to the ground, it was so badly written considering how much she values innocent life and how her prime motivation has always been subconsciously justice and protecting the innocents considering no one did that for her as a child.

thank you for your input! i agree with a lot of what you have said, mainly that book!dany wants nothing more than to find a home, and her quest for power is more about delivering on her 'duty' as the last living targ to restore her ancestral house to it's former glory than anything else. she does want to make good decisions and for that she looks up to other people for advice a few times, especially in meereen where she spread herself pretty thin to achieve stability. but she's also extremely young and volatile and she lashes out when upset (i.e feeding people to her dragons, crucifying masters arbitrarily, allowing a girl to be tortured in front of her father...) my point (which as highkey character limited) is that over time she finds out following her impulses and 'dragon blood' (that she's initially afraid of/wants to supress i.e. locking up the dragons) are a much surer and quicker route to achieving what she wants than walking on the eggshells of diplomacy. maintaining peace is hard, she found that out in slavers bay where she even had to give herself away in marriage. though very poorly done this is better shown in got than in the books considering they went further in the story. she's always been pretty unwavering about her goals, though she was willing to adapt them when necessary, but then at some point she just didn't, and by season 7 she's just straight up despotic, and she simply burns people who don't accept her (she didn't burn the tarlys for their betrayal, she burnt them for refusing to bend the knee. and technically they didn't betray anyone cause they owed loyalty to the crown over olenna tyrell). not to say she became an evil and vile person without morals, she's still all about helping the weak, freeing the chained, its just that it got really warped overtime. but that is the tragedy of daenerys, she doesn't want to be her father, she's scared of what she unleashed upon the world (her dragons) but she doesn't have much of a choice other than to embrace it, and she does. i think book daenerys will have pretty much the same ending as show daenerys but better developed. I don't think they sacrificed even a big storyline like RLJ to make her descent easier if it weren't a serious endgame point. she still has a fire to love and a treason for love, and that basically goes with razing kings landing 'burning their sins and flesh away' only so jon can kill her right after, for the love of his family. not to mention in his OG outline GRRM describes her as a 'threat' coming to westeros similarly to the WW and she has been one of the characters whose story has p much remained unchanged so, yeah im pretty convinced its her fate. i just hope grrm does her justice. anyway, thank you for your input! and i dont mind long comments, my reply got quite long as well 🤣 i appreciate discussions, so thank you, and thank you for the lovely compliments ❤️

Emilia needs a Emmy, even though they ruined season 8, she still had impeccable acting

"Your enemies did not lie." "Your just more of the same."

This video has better character development than all of season 8.

Great video .Our queen will live forever in our hearts . 💫 (I made an edit too )😚
