also @Eighteen I still don't see how Dany is following in Aerys' footsteps. Aerys burnt people for pleasure, Dany isn't doing that. 

Dany isn't doing that yet, is what the people around her could be thinking. i don't believe the mad king was absolutely mad from the very beginning; he instead fell into madness over time (i think?) and would burn people for sport or whatever. if i were dany's advisor, i legit would be wondering where the line was and how far would she go to sit on the iron throne. just a couple of episodes ago she, just for a fleeting moment, contemplated attacking the city cersei is in which would have resulted in many deaths (tyrion or someone had to advise her otherwise), and it's those little clues that i would be worried about.

i quite like Jon! he's kind, sane, level-headed and a risk taker nor is he hungry for royalty, riches and fame

however he is rather overrated and his personality is a little boring  i'm just waiting for his targaryen heritage to be EXPOSEDT

I like him too. he's not a bad leader and really has the best interest of his people at heart but  that's because he was brought up with the notion of being a bastard and not being entitled to anything, further reinforced by his pledge to the Night's Watch. tbh, I wonder what he's going to do when he finds out he's the rightful heir to the throne, it might change his intentions. 

Spoiler

but I lowkey hopes Dany burns him 

Spoiler

also highkey hope he's not one of the other 2 dragon riders

Some fans criticize Dany 'cause she offered to the Tarly live (like an obedient and submissive vassal ) or die (in a Drogon barbecue ) But, I think she did the correct. Yep, it's a war, they could live, but they didn't

point noted. But burning an army that destroyed her strongest ally and in the field of battle with her men? We're going to be worried about her when she used her strongest weapon to win a battle? When she gave out a sentence to men who deserved it? 

Uh, I think this "worrying" is purely based on the fact that her father was mad, it bears no other merit any other way.

that was just after finding out she was losing the war tho  she was angry in that moment and Jon managed to convince to attack the loot

and yes, the mad king went insane over time HOWEVER, dany has been sold, raped, seen men die, lost a husband and child, survived the red waste (i think thats the name), saw her friends slaughtered and dragons taken from her, survived an attack from the sons of the harpy by flying away by dragon only to be kidnapped by another dothraki horde and she seems to be doing well mentally

I mean, I understand some of the complaints because burning people is an AWFUL AND CRUEL way to die. But... they were traitors and they trash-talked her. She had no choice. 

If you're mad about Dany being a leader and a conqueror, you should be mad about Jaime almost killing Bran/raping her sister in front of her dead son, etc etc. And believe me, they're not mad. They still LOVE Jaime's ass. 

They hypocrisy is real, y'all. 

exactly. I swear it's honestly because she's a powerful woman that's not afraid to shut down a man's opinions. 

[Logan 20,727]

I don't want Daenerys to sit on the Iron Throne anyways. I think she'll realize there's a bigger purpose and she will abandon that path. I think her vision further supports this idea. She reaches for the throne (greed and power) but doesn't touch it at the last second when she hears her dragons crying for help (Love of Jon Snow, helping fight the White Walkers, protecting the people of Westeros)

now I agree (kinda) with this. But the Iron Throne itself is just a symbol. I want her to lead Westeros. A throne just represents that. Dany should be her own symbol of power, she doesn't need a throne to show how powerful she really is.

It's internalized sexism. They don't know it yet, but it's that. Poor souls. 

They treat Sansa (a politician) the same way and only love Arya because she's a badass LIKE A MAN.

especially now that bran is back with RECEIPTS from the past

PREACH IT SISTA! PREACH IT. I really hope, seeing that the show is not following GRRM's plotline anymore, the writers don't look to what the fans are saying and weaken her as a character to please the vocal minority of Dany haters. 

It's worrying.

What's really upsetting to me is that as the series progresses, it's becoming obvious to me that Jon Snow is gonna end up being the "Hero" as it's pretty much confirmed that he's the legitimate heir since Westersoi culture is sexist and males always have priority over females. It's just more ammunition for the haters since technically she isn't next in line anymore and she probably won't be Azor Ahai. AND since the plot leak is confirmed, she's going to make a huge mistake at the end of season. People already claim she's a horrible strategist, even though her failures have been a result of her suppressing her Targaryen instincts. People now blame her and not Tyrion for losing her Allies.
