WardenOfTheNorth Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I was thinking how cool it would be, if Dany came down with the Targaryen madness;and then attempted to slaughter the Usurper's dogs with her dragons and ended up ravaging Westeros, (instead of saving it from the Others with her dragons, which I think some people think will happen) Any chance of this happening?

RenlyIsNotRight Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think there's a pretty good chance of it the way Danys story arc has been going, and it would certainly make things a hell of a lot more interesting. Hell right now there's a thread about whether or not Dany is in fact mad going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure she's mad already. Now I want her to become a drug addict. Maybe she'll start using shade of the evening, that would be cool. Then Tyrion manipulates her, steals her dragons and gets Casterly Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenFleece Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'll leave this to the Jon/Stannis fanboys XD. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't get what would be so interesting about that. Dany goes mad and becomes a clear villain instead of a complicated character? Why would that be a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Selig Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Isn't she already?No, if you are even remotely objective while reading her chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 People who say she's not mad are obviously too much in love with her to realize the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 No, if you are even remotely objective while reading her chapters. Different people different perspectives. For me she is for you she isn't. Nobody could change your mind nobody could change my mind. So why starting that conversation?People who say she's not mad are obviously too much in love with her to realize the truth. :agree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourniquet Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 She's a little mad, but anyone who wants to rule is a little mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagon Greyjoy Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 She might not be the sanest person in Westeros (she's a targ, they're all slightly crazy, even the good ones), but she's still a far cry away from full-on batshit lunacy.Jorah and Barristan have known batshit-crazy Targs (Aerys and Viserys the Beggar). They know Dany and are pretty much convinced she ain't that kind of crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never turned on Aerys, so he wouldn't really have a problem with Mad Dany. I don't think he has learned much.2. Jorah was/is in love with her.

Tumnas the Torpid Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 People who say she's not mad are obviously too much in love with her to realize the truth.People who say she is are typically short on actual evidence of anything approaching madness. The only thing that comes close is her post-Clash scenes with Quaithe, but, given that this is a fantasy novel, it's premature to rule out actual magical conversations taking place.Different people different perspectives. For me she is for you she isn't. Nobody could change your mind nobody could change my mind. So why starting that conversation?This is, more or less, the definition of "subjective", which is the opposite of "objective." You're kind of proving Mr. Selig's point, here.

RenlyIsNotRight Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't get what would be so interesting about that. Dany goes mad and becomes a clear villain instead of a complicated character? Why would that be a good thing?Who said she wouldn't be a complicated character? She isn't and probably won't ever be pure evil like Joffrey or Ramsay that's true, but with her intentions and world views - particularly her obsession with ridding Westeros of the "Usurpers Dog's" and already showing herself to have done some pretty heinous shit with the torturing of the children in Meereen - that doesn't mean she won't cause wanton destruction throughout Westeros and be perceived as antagonistic to most of the other main characters. Even Mace Tyrell, who supported The Mad King during Robert's Rebellion, apparently already believes Dany is "as mad as her father". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kind of proving Mr. Selig's point, here.My point is that since everyone knows different thinks, living a different life and being a different person you cannot say who is right or wrong. So why bringing up the objectivity part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseHarrison Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 imo GRRM may be slowly intending to turn the sides in the story on their heads. Clearly "good" sympathetic characters like Tyrion, Catelyn, and Dany are slowly becoming more brutal/depraved (in Catelyn's case, not so slowly) whereas characters though "bad" like Jaime, Stannis, and Mance are slowly getting redeemed. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end, you have Jaime and Stannis seeming like the sane ones vs. Daenerys and Tyrion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
