'Game of Thrones' Fans Aren't Happy With How Daenerys' Story Ends

Dany's fate left a bad taste in the mouths of many loyal GoT fans.
After a very long eight year run, HBO's popular fantasy epic Game of Thrones finally said goodbye to viewers last night and aired its highly-anticipated series finale.
While so many fans were emotional that their beloved show had finally come to an end, there was also a significant number of fans who were left unsatisfied by the fate of one the series most beloved characters: Daenerys Targaryen.
Seeing a character go from a hero to a villain isn't something new in media, but the abrupt, and sudden way Dany's story arc from the past seven seasons completely switched up and unraveled in just the last few episodes of the final season left a bad taste in the mouths of many GoT fans and critics.

\u201cEmilia Clarke who played Daenerys for 10 years, read the books, knows the character more than anyone, had NO IDEA that Dany was going to go "mad" until she read the script for S8 & she was SHOCKED, and you tell me It'S bEeN fOrShAdOwEd AlL aLoNg???

\u201cThe Daenerys twist could have been nuanced and honest and interesting. It wasn't. My extensive thoughts on how #GameofThrones failed Daenerys by relying on lazy, sexist tropes in the final episodes https://t.co/XvaXdsfqcx\u201d— Eliana Dockterman (@Eliana Dockterman) 1558321257
\u201cAfter spending seasons raping these characters & taking their clothes off- all the women in Game of Thrones were ultimately unfit or unwilling to lead & an unqualified inexperienced boy got it handed to him. No I never liked this incel jizz of a show.\u201d— Heather Fink (@Heather Fink) 1558372834
\u201cdaenerys for 7 seasons: has never harmed anyone innocent, stopped cultures of rape and violence against women, her priority was always the people\n\ndaenerys season 8: hears bells of surrender and for some fucking obsurd reason starts killing innocents\n\n#GameofThrones\u201d— maz (@maz) 1557712457
\u201cdaenerys protected women from drogo's khalasar, liberated the unsullied, freed countless slaves, always defended the innocents.. having to see that the writers completely butchered her character hurts so fucking much. i'm so sorry my queen. you deserved so much better than this.\u201d— \ud835\udc8e\ud835\udc8a\ud835\udc93\ud835\udc82 (@\ud835\udc8e\ud835\udc8a\ud835\udc93\ud835\udc82) 1557715398
