Dany's prophecy doesn't hold? [Spoilers]

[robasp2]

So we see in episode 3, the conclusion of the Wight Walker storyline.

This raises several questions about Dany's prophecy in Qarth.

1. A destroyed throne room which was filled with ice (foreshadowing the long night has come to king's landing)

2. Dany stepping out of the wall to see Drogo in the afterlife (possibly foreshadowing her death beyond the wall)

Aren't these two visions pointless now?

Anyone has any thoughts that completely explains the visions Daenerys had ?

We'll know more by the end, but for now just assume all prophecies at our the window

Snow on the throne? It could symbolize Jon Snow, the true heir to the iron throne.

I'm also confused by that inclusion, I can think of three possibilities:

1. It's a metaphor for her death, not the place where she will die. The wall is a red herring. 

2. Drogo and Rhaego could be "stand-ins" for Jon and their possible child.

3. In her visions, she walks away from her family, rejecting them and choosing "fire and blood" by burning the warlock.

I find option 1 to be more likely.

Agree that after the Arya/NK thing, the prophesies are to be ignored. 

But I think Dany's turning away from the throne already happened. If Dany didn't bypass the throne and deal with Winter, then it wouldn't matter anyhow. Much of the HOTU was about Dany's fate against the Others and what challenges she'd have to face to those ends. They spent about a whole season on getting Dany to go North instead of South. Don't think it says anything about an endgame either way. 

Cersei's doesn't matter either. The Maggy the Frog scene said Cersei would have 3 kids, but in the show, we know she had 4.

There are so many ways to interpret these visions, but here's my take.

1: 
Daenerys is within reach of the iron throne. If she had reached out and taken the throne, she would've been queen - for a short while, but it would've ended up with a destroyed Red Keep (Viserion) and eternal winter (snowing) as the AotD would've won since there was no one to stop them in the North if she was sitting on her ass in Kings Landing. Ultimately she decides against it and leaves the throne room, right before she's about to take it, which is what happened in S7. She was about to dethrone Cersei and take the throne for herself, but went north instead, which ties in with your second point where...
(It can also show a possibility where the Red Keep is destroyed in general (Cersei blows it up in E5?) and that (Jon) Snow ends up on the Iron Throne.)

2: 
...Daenerys left the IT and ended up north of the wall (also happened in S7), where she met her family (Drogo and Rhaego) in the "afterlife".
This can be interpreted in a number of ways: Either that she dies in the north and meets her dead husband and child again - which while still isn't entirely impossible, seems more unlikely given that she survived the war for the dawn, or it symbolizes that by going north she will end up in a future where she meets the man she loves and her child again, only it isn't Drogo and Rhaego as she (and we) where initially lead to believe, but Aegon and their unborn child. (Honestly, Daenerys entering a tent in S2 to find Jon Snow and a baby would've been the worlds biggest spoiler if they do end up getting a child together.)

She also has a second prophecy (if you can call it that), that one of Miri Maz Duur and Daenerys infertility, which with all the vagueness that prophecies usually entails, technically can be considered resolved at this point. Not that I think that the show will revisit this prophecy agian, but still. While the book has other points to make (Quentyn Martell isn't in the show for instance), for the show it's possible that: 
"When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east" = when her journey in Westeros begins her journey in Essos comes to an end.
"When the seas go dry" = The Dothraki Sea went "dry" after she left with all the dothraki. 
"When the mountains blow in the wind like leaves" = The Wall coming crashing down.
