Daenerys Targaryen | Fear is how I fall

« They will all come to see you for what you are » I recognize I’m a bit late to the ’Dany tribute party’, but in my defense, I had this started since before the season finale. It’s the same excuse as always, don’t think I need to spell it out at this point. So, the season finale of Game Of , the whole season of game of thrones, how to even begin? I have so much to say about this season, most of it I’ve ranted about for hours on end on every groupchat I’m a part of and every social media account owned by me. I was extremely disappointed with the rushed and careless way they handled basically everything from plot points to character development, Jon, for example, was downright unrecognizable. But oh well, this video is about Daenerys, so let’s talk about Daenerys. For quite some time before the season aired I was already predicting Dany would go down as the big antagonist of the series (as I’ve made clear in the other video I made of her ’Kingdom Fall’), and at that time I was excited for everyone to see what I was seeing, cause honestly the concept was so incredible to me? I mean, there’s this character that’s basically a pop culture idol, a hero of the ages, a feminist symbol, the breaker of chains! To imagine that a character like that would fall from grace to become a villain? That would leave such a lasting effect on the fictional world. I was REALLY excited to see it happen and how it would happen, but then came the seismic event. Someone wise once said ’Be careful what you wish for’, and so it was. It was EXTREMELY disappointing to me to watch something I’ve been excited about forever be done so improperly. I feel like the whole season was sacrificed in order to antagonize Daenerys and in the end it wasn’t even enough? It was still tacky and badly handled and I’m so sorry that this is the final impression this series is going to have on people. And I am sorry it was bad enough that hardly anyone is going to understand the message behind Daenerys’ character. She was always meant to go this way. While I understand the people who said ’it came out of nowhere’, cause the whiplash affected us all, I disagree. They built this cult of personality to a person who’d always used power arbitrarily. But it’s not always easy to understand this problem when said power is aimed at slave masters and overall what is the audience’s consensus of ’Bad guys’, but essentially the only thing that changed about Daenerys’ behavior was perspective. She’d always wanted to return cities to the dust in order to build her new better world, because she has motherfucking dragons, how much easier could it be? Not to say her goals are evil, absolutely not. Abolishing slavery? Freeing the world? Those are some solid great like in that last conversation with Jon (that I’ll be surprised if anyone really paid attention in cause it was so cringey) she basically said her vision of a good, ideal world, is the only one that matters, everyone else with different views? Well, they don’t get to choose, and that basically sums up what Daenerys has been about all along. She’s despotic, she wants to break the wheel but by that she means she wants to be the one turning it, because she alone understands whats right and what’s not, and if anyone disagrees, well, dracarys. I find that about her quite fascinating, I am passionate about sociology and world history, and we’ve those types of rulers quite a few times thorough our tragetory, and asoiaf is based of real history (the war of the roses, anyone?), and I just love when fiction is used not only to entertain but to bring about reflections on real life issues. With all of that said, I love Daenerys’ character, but no I don’t pretend or endorse the traditonal hero colors she’s often painted with. She’s grey, and young, and impulsive and with some real pyromaniac tendencies. Amazingly, her biggest nemesis thorough her story was been her own self and her worst impulses, she tried, countless times, to fight against it and plant her trees, she was almost there with the help of all the people who didn’t let her succumb to the throes of her wrath, but in the end she lost all of them, and she’s a dragon: dragons plant no trees. This video is kind of messy and it gets a bit underwhelming towards the end I know, but I just got really tired of editing it for almost 2 months lmao. Even still, I really liked the final result, and I’m glad I managed to finish a tribute to one of my favorite characters with the most fascinating character developments ever. This description got extremely long but I think I just had a lot to say haha. Thank you for reading, if you did. Also, thank you for the 100k subscribers I recently hit.
