i’ve been rooting for dany since season one, absolutely heartbreaking what happened to her and her children, she’ll always be my favourite GoT character.
Hm me too, but it's not "what" happened to her as much as "how" it happened to her. Even as a fave character I think she going crazy was foreshadowed to say the least... and I actually like it. But... NOOT the way they did it, they turned her into a mad little girl who got upset cuz her friends didn't like her anymore so she burned a city down. It was just dumb and lazy.
@@TianaT4 I agree. She was such an amazing character and her ending was written like shit. Her story arch could have been good. GOT was always supposed to be about grey morality but she straight up turned into an evil villain. Her character could have been a great representation of the horrors of war and the use of WOMD (Dragons). She won't have burned the entire city down, but civilians would have been killed in the cross fire. She would have killed fleeing soldiers and even prisoners of war. Her finally arc would have been not going truly crazy, but called crazy because she fell into Noble cause corruption. This would have been a contrast to the other noble character, Jon Snow, who would have kept his morals throughout war. But hey. I understand. The producers were tired. They were ready to move on. So they did the most lazy and terrible writing possible and cramped three seasons worth of content in to one so they can move on to... oh that's right... no where.
@@TablossAF Dude, do you even know history? She is many things but definitly not like Hitler. If at all she would be like alexander the conqueror but with dragons.
Both in the series and books...she is a very sad character, and I think the one who suffered the most. The Starks at least they were happy at one point of their lives, Dany was always running and being abused by her brother...then she just got some months happy with Drogo to be left with nothing again. She just wanted to belong...she didn't belong to Essos and thought Westeros would be her home, but it really wasn't. Noticing how everyone truly hated or feared her in Westeros must've been heartwreaking
@@DiSatelis I don't think so, I like tyrant like Cersei but still, I don't remember when Daenerys was ready to destroy an entire city for absolutely no reason 🤷♀️
@@oliviagometz she lost almost everyone she loved because of that kingdom, even the most recent ones, I'm not justifying her act, but her fury, her madness and the aftermath of it was understandable. the end of the series already made sense, it only showed what everyone had forgotten or ignored
@@oliviagometz She wanted to build new world. World without war, evil. World with freedom people without slavery. People hwo lived in slavery all their live don't know freedom. Many people thought that freedom is evil, their need a cruel lord. They understand this. Do you remember story about Mosey? Moses took the Jews out of slavery and and led them through the desert forty years. He waited for all people hwo remember slavery have been die and so he can build new country with freedom people. Daenerys did the same thing only quickly. I'm sorry for my bad English.
I've been a Rolling Stones fan for decades. Paint it Black was written in 1966.How it's used in this video is awesome. I keep coming back and watching it over and over again.
Yeah, It was because the screenwriters were men, so they see women as weaker sex after all. They can't understand that not all women are emotionally unstable and don’t desire only just to be loved in life. Such a strong woman like Deanerys would never lost her sanity and integrity because Jon Snow doesn’t love her anymore. She experienced too much to go mad because of death of her friend and loss of lover. There were impressive women in history who proves that woman don’t need man by her side to be strong, complete and powerful.
@@hypothesa Danny going mad was actually always part of George R R Marten's plan, even though he didn't finish the books he gave them basically an outline and some samples of what he had intended to do. I think it actually makes complete sense that she went mad, there was foreshadowing throughout the series for it, especially that her father was The Mad King, and that she steadily went from calm and methodical to aggressive and temperamental as she gained power. I think between the points you mentioned, Varys' betrayal, the loss of 2 dragons (which were basically her children), and partly that there seemed to be a genetic disposition to mental instability from incest (her parents were also siblings), it was the logical conclusion. ALL THAT SAID, the delivery in the show was horrendous. I get that the idea was that so much would just push her into eventually snapping, but the last season just skipped from main event to main event to main event in a way that there was no time for us as the audience to feel the coming storm. It didn't feel justified in any way and it was frankly just sloppy writing. It doesn't matter how good a story actually is, if you deliver it the wrong way it's not going to impact as intended.
@@generalx13 GRRM, who whilst he writes female characters quite well for a male character, is very fond of the mad queen trope. Ironically historically there have been far fewer mad queen's than mad kings.
@@generalx13 this is all based on theories. He NEVER confirmed nor said he wanted to make her mad. What he did state though was that Her whole story was basically that she wasn't her father. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can't believe it even after 2 years. Daenarys contributed so much in the War against the NIght King but all they did in return was spite her and never once thank her for her contributions. She was literally fighting the Night King in the air and against her own dragon that she raised since it was but a small egg. The Starks were my favorite in the first season but after what happened throughout the last seasons, they made me hate them. Bran is definitely no King.
But if you think about it, Bran cannot be had or lied to, leading to any wrongful punishments or executions, or being set up and manipulated into doing something. He’ll know exactly what’s what and if there’s a threat, he’ll likely see it coming long before anybody else does. And there will be no greed for power leading to his corruption either because he’s not hungry for the throne.
@@lancenwokeji6349 she spent an amount of her childhood living in a house with a red door, which became the symbol of home for her, so when she dreamt about going to Westeros she imagined that all doors would be red. The red keep is a literal metaphor for her dream of a home, but she never felt at home in Westeros like she thought that she would, the more time she spent there, the further she strayed away from her real self. What was meant to be her home and everything she had done to make that dream come true was shattered day by day. So she gave up on that desire to make it her home when she felt that it would never be a home to her and abandoned herself right in the moment when she realized her dream wouldnt come true, thus painting the red door black and giving herself up in that moment in pursuit of another, more realistic dream, aka liberating the whole world from tyrants like Cersei.
@@leonorafilipovic so wait ✋, so does Danny in the books actually WANT the iron throne? Or is she just "liberating" it(and all of westeros) from the tyrannical House Lannister?
@@redadmiralofvalyria867 Dany wants the throne and considers it her right to have it, as she does in the show. In the books the Lannisters are considered an enemy and a threat but no more so than quite a few other great Houses. However, Book Dany actually decides to put off her return to Westeros because she feels an obligation to the people of Mereen to see them through the current chaos that she indirectly caused when she freed the slaves. Book Dany is still in Essos.
I have not watched GoT but these videos have given me a clue. I literally cried when Daenerys was carried to Valhalla by her last Dragon. Like a pair of A-10s doing a rudder walk down a Iraqi convoy with that cannon.
Imagine this show would've started with Dany and her Dragon as this cruel gothic villain. Would've been actually pretty cool (without book context ofc)
More than 2 years after the end of GoT, it's possible to analyze the entire series in a more objective and measured way. It's true that there were some clues (about Daenerys' "dark" ending) from the first season, however using books's logic by George Martin, it's impossible not to notice how at some point in the TV series the characters were totally changed from how they are written in the books. For example we have Tyrion who after murdering his father and strangling his lover (and raping a prostitute, but this only in the books) suddenly becomes the best and most moralistic character of the whole show: yes, just the one who in the second season has not hesitated for a moment to use the Wildfire to destroy Stannis' fleet, burning thousands alive, including Ser Davos' son. And that's because on the show the showrunners had chosen Tyrion to get their voice on the moral of their story. While in the books Tyrion is actually selfish, cunning, calculating and ... vengeful !!! ... This evidently did not interest the showrunners. And it's easy enough to see how after the end of the fourth season (the last one that followed the books quite faithfully) this story was no longer Martin's but something else. And it's not difficult to understand that D&D were writing the last few seasons completely ignoring the path indicated by Martin and instead following their very personal idea on the characters created by George. You can clearly see how those two were deeply inspired by Breaking Bad when they envisioned their ending, and how they planned Daenerys' path to make her look like Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader. Apparently they thought that by creating the female version of Anakin Skywalker, Disney would pave the way for a new Star Wars trilogy ... But things, as we all know, did not go exactly like this: you can't think of doing a job well if your head is somewhere else. If you want to do GoT well, you have to study Martin's books and add complexity and intrigue, you can't trivialize the plot that way and add a gorgeous ending ... but that was that of another TV series, that has nothing to do with the one you are working on. The result of this mixture could only be a big and stupid mess. And the rush to finish the show by accelerating the development of the story only made the final result even worse. GoT will go down in history as the show with the most interesting and captivating storyline in TV history, but also as the one with the absolute worst ending ... a stupid, hasty ending that doesn't do justice to the show's first good seasons.
@@Cliohna If you mean what Martin is likely to do in the books ... well, I think Daenerys will have a tragic ending, but she will never be the Dany-Hitler that we saw on the show. Perhaps the designated hero will be Jon, since in Martin's books it is almost always the male character who accompanies the reader to the moral of the whole story (although the more badass characters in Martin's books are predominantly female, and ASOIAF does not except for nothing). I'm afraid Bran will be King in the books too (but in what way and what it's all to see) ... and in my opinion he could also be the one who wrote ASOIAF (after all ASOIAF is written in various POVs, and Bran is the is the only one who can know what's going on inside a person's head, as he can go in and see people's past and present). In the book Fire & Blood, George seems to me to have changed the name of Jaehaerys I first daughter to Daenerys I (while in "The World of Ice and Fire" the name of the first born was different), so I assume that Martin wanted us to understand that maybe Daenerys will die in the war against the Others to save Westeros (as Daenerys I died of a disease called "Shivers"). Here is what you need to know about Daenerys I Targaryen: awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Daenerys_Targaryen_(daughter_of_Jaehaerys_I) This is not to say that Daenerys won't set King's Landing on fire, but if she does, it sure won't be her ending, and the reasons why that might be more of a mistake (remember the Wildfire below the city) than a deliberate thing. Either way Martin is a cheat, and he could change everything to make the story less predictable. So let's get ready for everything ... and until the books are out, I think everything is still plausible (except his happy ending ... that I think is 0.0000001% probable, because Martin is notoriously a sadist, and he loves to kill the characters readers are most fond of, plus love stories always end quite badly in his books).
Beautiful choice of music!Such a heartbreaking character.A scared girl that became an epic woman.trying to find acceptance and not being able to.searching for love only to have everything she loved taken from her,and in the end being betrayed by the man she loved.truly tragic!
I’ve watched this so many times. I understand why she lost it. From the moment we met her she was sold. So many losses and betrayals. If she left the city they wouldn’t have accepted her. Only because of your video have I changed my mind on the ending.
Keep coming back to this video. The music, the editing, the darkness all brilliant put together. I really liked Dany, didn't like how they transformed her at the end. Maybe she would take that path, but all happened too quick. On the other hand, pain mixed with revenge it's an explosive mix. She lost her children, the man she loved, her friend, didn't feel was accepted by the people there put that together with the adrenaline of a fight and a need to revenge her friend...
Very unique, powerful, and quality remake of a classic. Everything fits. From the song to the visual. Very pleased, in every way. Feeling very warriorish.
This gave me goosebumps, well done. I remember feeling exhilarated and cheering when she took Kingslanding. The slaughter of the innocents though, I don't believe she would have done.
I honestly think Dany was always meant to end mad, even in George's story. To end up killing everyone in King's Landing, no matter their status. Just that D&D made it in the worst possible way possible and here we are.
I think it's totally understandable how Dany became the mad queen and it wasn't as sudden as people say. She'd lost her home, her entire family, her husband, her baby, 2 of her dragons, her protector, her best friend. She faced betrayal everywhere she went. She was the breaker of chains who went to Westeros thinking the people would welcome her for saving them from an oppressor like Cersei, but no matter her sacrifices, she was cast aside for her nearest male counterpart. It's not, "Why did Dany lose her mind?" It's "Why didn't she lose it sooner?"
She also killed her brother (indirectly), her husband (two times, first by depravinf warriors of their spoils which resulted in a fight, then by suffocating him), crucified hundreds of innocent people, burned alive soldiers who surrendered on many occasions, and finally burned the whole city. She betrayed her first brother (who was promised the crown), then her second brother (who was the real heir). She didn't break the wheel, she simply killed those who had power so that she could have that power. Yup, she was crazy from the beginning.
A very atmospheric emotive version of this classic stones song. You gave it new lease of life with this rendition complemented by the scenes from the well known TV drama. Thanks for putting this on RU-vid 😊
What a great video. She lost every creature she loved except Drogon, and then her remaining "friends" betrayed her. The first images are powerful to show motive far better than the stupid writing in the show.
She lost brother because she killed him (indirectly, but she watched the scene with pleasure). She lost husband because she killed him. Her friends were true, that's why they tried to stop her from committing more attrocities, like crucifying hundreds of people, burning alive soldiers who surrendered, or turning the biggest city in Westeros into ashes and slaughtering everyone inside. She betrayed her brother who was promised the crown. She betrayed her other brother whose real identity would make him the rightful heir.
People forgot how good she was and don't understand that all the pain make her that way. Then she found a man that she loved and he could not love her back because they were related. She saved more lives than she take. And how many people wanted to kill her. Thanks to Emilia Clarke that she brought this character to life. A lot of pain can turn into a madness.
Actually, Jon was madly in love with Dany. But being raised a Stark it was not honorable to bed his aunt. This story is being repeated now in House of Dragons between Daemon (uncle) and Rhaenyra (niece). And, because there has been some time between these two for some chemistry, fans are shipping them hard. Just because Jon refused to sleep with Dany did not mean he didn't love her. He continued to love her deeply and tried to keep his own feelings in check by remaining away from her. If not he was tempted -he wanted her. When Jon killed Dany he became a "broken man." It was touching when Tyrion showed compassion and touched his should for a few moments. Jon will never be the same again. So, his ending was not so wonderful either.
I wish the show creators would have to a montage together like this! it would have explained so much at the time. We would have felt what she was feeling! Bravo for making this video!
Absolutely love her. And I never get how people call her cruel when she was far from the only one who wanted power to kill others. I like to pretend the last season didn't really happen because it was a disaster from beginning to end. Don't even get me started on the BS that was the epic and great war that turned into a night of meh
I dare to say melting your brother's head with liquid gold is quite cruel. Suffocating your husband or burning alive the witch who brought him back because you wanted it, despite her warnings. Executing and burning alive surrendered soldiers. Crucifying hundreds of civilians. Killing all the masters and becoming the master yourself. Executing your advisor because he tried to stop your from committing more attrocities. Lying about the true identity of your step brother, the rightul heir, and manipulating him in order to keep power. Oh, and that moment when you decide to burn the whole city to ashes, while your soldiers slaughter everyone on the ground, because why not. And never had the guts to do it with your own hands.
I would like to say -- THANK YOU!!! whoever made this awesome and beautiful video-- I loved/love Game of Thrones. I applaud you and youre wonderful work!!!
Say what you want about the story, every aspect of the production was incredible; acting, sets, costumes, music. Incredible quality. And yes, Daenerys was and is my favorite character. I only wish the dragons had four legs, that's how I always picture dragons. That's just me.
I love this video! Found it a few days ago, been jamming everyday since. I also love G.O.T's. This video perfectly sums up when and why she became the mad queen. I didn't care for season 8, too many loose ends. And Bran on the throne, NO WAY.
Тут не гнев, а тот самый страх, о котором Джону ака дурачку Севера , рассказывал мейстер Эймон , чувство одиночества ломает разум Таргариена. Хотя по отношению к Джону она терпелива даже чересчур, он предал её , рассказав правду о себе , которой Санса воспользовалась в своих эгоистических целях. Джорах за своё предательство был изгнан - это милосердное наказание по отношению к небезразличному человеку. 8 сезон помойка , половина персонажей были переписаны и уничтожены , сюжетных дао стало куда больше и финала будто и не было, только ещё сильнее крутануло колесо.
Потрясающее видео про Дени, лучше этого я не видел! Особенно понравилась идея с инверсией в начале, а как слова песни попадают под кадры из сериала! (отсылку про красную дверь тоже заценил)… 10 из 10, спасибо)
The more i think about it, the more and more it makes sense she burned it all. From her very start she's been liberating slaves and changing things by changing the very way the people lived. And she's done it thru death. She burned all the khals. She burned the owner of the unsullied. She saw how much the north didn't accept her. The people of kings landing would never accept her. And ultimately if jhon wouldn't join her he'd become an enemy and she'd kill him too. The problem is danny always had one only plan getting her throne that was her birthright. But in the process of getting it she realised what the true game of thrones was. And like they said "when you play the game of thrones there is no second best, you win or you die"
You forgot she killed her own brother - the first heir to the throne (although not directly). She then killed her husband (suffocated him), who was brought back to live by a witch (whom she killed, too), despite clear warnings she shouldn't, after he was wounded in the fight started because of her (depraved warriors of their spoils). She crucified hundreds of innocent people for the sins of the few nobles. She killed the masters and then became the master herself. On multiple occasions she executed enemy soldiers by burning them alive, despite they were already beaten, unarmed and surrendered. She executed her own advisor who tried to stop her from committing more such attrocities. She burned the whole city to the ground. And she manipulated her another brother, the rightful heir, so that she can keep the power for herself. She's Hitler (they even share the passion for burning people), just with better PR.
