The Queen We Chose || Daenerys Targaryen

Almost exactly 2 years ago (May 19, 2019), Game of Thrones ended. A series once renowned the world over limped across the finish line with an ending so egregious it basically killed its own fanbase. The writing was so bad it nullified any effort anyone else put into the show. I don’t think I’ll ever get over just how bad season 8 was, and as someone who loved Daenerys’ character and her progression throughout the story, I (like many people), was appalled with her ending. What could have been an interesting character arc was so rushed and nonsensical it ended up being nothing short of character assassination. This, then, is my tribute to Daenerys as she was and how we’ll choose to remember her: a fierce and powerful woman who made it her mission to end slavery and topple tyrants. There are already so many beautiful Daenerys tributes made by amazing editors, and many of them do a brilliant job of portraying her life, development, character, fall and legacy. This edit isn’t that. It’s not meant to be an all-encompassing tribute or an objective edit examining both her strengths and flaws. I set out as a Dany fan simply to make something epic, and to focus on why we loved her, thus excluding her season 8 “fall.” I’ve wanted to make a Dany tribute for a long time, but once season 8 happened, well…the motivation just wasn’t there anymore. Hence, this edit barely acknowledges season 8 lol, except for some epic moments. Daenerys and Emilia Clarke (her actress), are both incredibly inspiring women that I’m glad have touched my life. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy! I’m very proud of this one haha :) P.S. If you’d like a deep dive into Daenerys’ character and how season 8 did her dirty, Lindsey Ellis explains it all quite eloquently in this video: *if the video quality sucks at parts it’s youtube’s fault for making my video look crappy -_-* ………………................................... •Fandom: Game of Thrones •Song: 1) “Battlefields“ by 2WEI & 2) “Gangsta’s Paradise“ by 2WEI •Coloring: kindon18 (edited) •Program: Vegas Pro 15 •Please watch in HD Thank you for watching! …………………………………………………………...
