But she snaps because the city is surrending to her! 

She doesn't snap because of the surrender, but because of suddenly realising that despite her winning the battle, she has gained nothing. She will never be loved. Jon will never consummate their mutal love. 

All she fight for her entire life, all that has driven her the entire life, all what defined her entire life is mor or less taken from her. She achieved being the Queen of the Iron Throne --- For what? They will never love, respect, hail her. She has not even the birthright anymore. Her whole life taken from her.

Claiming the book will be different in such a fundamental part and attacking GRRM's storyline. 

This arc is great and the storyline phantastic. Like it or not.

I didn't see anyone claiming this, here.

What's the point of debatting if you have rocket science then ^^

I can’t believe so many people are discounting how many times Daeny has shown restraint, compassion, and intelligence in her story. It’s shocking to me! (Am I doing this right?)

Daeny has only used her dragons to attack military targets and political targets, she has never been bloodthirsty to the point that she would willingly slaughter helpless civilians. There are many tangible instances of proof to substantiate this. She actually chains her dragons away at one point for an accidental kill an of a civilian.

The showrunners are so desperate to show her as crazy that they made her roast innocent civilians running away, in a battle she had already won. I will never accept that after the numerous times Daeny has shown proof of her moral character.

It is actually quite opposite. The books are constantly hinting she holds a mad evil tyrant inside but the show kept skipping those parts which made the ending less believabile.

Analysis: The origin of her delusions

Daenerys wanted to love her people and she wanted the people to love her. But the people did not love her. They didn't wait to be saved by her, didn't appreciate her desire to conquer King's Landing.

All this babble from her childhood about Westeros waiting for a Targaryen ruler was idiotic nonsense of Viserys who brainwashed young Daenerys into believing this delusions.

What I'm saying is show runners didn't force her to look crazy. They forced her to look like an angel which resulted making the twist less believabile.

Read the other threads. It's a hype.

I did see that in other threads.

 

Well, we already know GRRM's style etc. And it always made sense, even if it hurts.

But now, what's the point of building a character on 5/6 books to destroy it totally.

Isn't it too sadistic? It's not Shakespearean, for sure. Is this the finality of the books, or his views? 

No matter how hard you try to be better, and different, your legacy will always get you back? 

It's a bit too dark, for me. And dark, just to be dark.

that’s a moot point. How does she know the population won’t serve or love her? They were trapped in kL by Cersei. By burning innocents she gave them no choice.

That's exactly what character arcs are about. Daenerys is not destroyed, she just reacted in the believable Targaryen-way of snapping. She snapped because of hopelessness. All her practical goals of life achieved, but emotionally void.

We have so many interesting characters and Daenerys arc start at a young girl being brainwashed by Viserys into acutally believing the Westeros people is waiting for a new Targaryen ruler. Daenerys fell for this idiotic nonsense. It made no sense in season 1 to believe Westerosi would love and hail a targaryen usurper, but it made an interesting and believable storyline for Daenerys to follow this dream. 

Of course Westeros does not wait for an Targaryen usurper. Of course Westerosi will not love and hail her. Who did dream about it? Viserys and Daenerys yes, but watchers? They are unsensible Disney-hurt people then. No one in his right mind dreamed of Daenerys being Queen.

You’re missing the point. By definition madness does not rationally account for or act upon available information.

No, we are not. We know Daenerys did.

She snapped because of hoplessness after achieving her goal and still having nothing. She did not wanted to simply conquer King's Landing but to be queen respected and loved.

If the watcher doesn't believe then, the writer is doing a poor job. 

Add to that all the prophecies that tend to put her in a good spot.

A bit maybe, but here several watchers are too much fanboys and dreamers.

The show was excellent and doing a mild foreshadowing and no one in his right mind expected Daenerys to be on the Iron Throne in the end.

Her goal was the throne. She didn’t obsess over love.

she has only snapped against military targets. She has no reason to hate the civilians in KL.
