So is Dany Crazy? Or just an asshole?

Or stupid, because the writers can't be arsed to write anything clever any more?

Okay, Tyrion's monologue about her self-righteousness was actually pretty good, and explained why might have less of a grasp of what's a good idea and what isn't, even though she's not actually crazy. Because FYI they've never had her actually be crazy or show any signs of mental illness, the burning of King's Landing wasn't so much crazy as it was stupid. Counterproductive. Inexpedient. Pointless.

The thing is, they really could have made sense of Dany's personality and her actions and state of mind, with a few extra minutes added to seasons 7 and 8. They could have had her confiding insecurity, suspicion of Tyrion and others, or extreme anger to Meissandre and being talked out of doing anything unwise, all in private, which meant that when Meissandre died suddenly the brakes were off. They could have had a scene where Jon, Sansa, and Dany read raven messages from the other Lords of Westers where they express disbelief about a zombie apocalypse in the North, which would have convinced Dany that the citizens of Westeros were ungrateful for her sacrifices and deserved no consideration in return.


And maybe add a little depth to her relationship with Jon, that sort of thing. There really was a mad rush to get the show over with and to hell with fleshing anything out, and really, the DID need to flesh a few things out. Even another hour of show would have helped, if they included the right things. Like maybe explaining why the Dothraki didn't raze what was left of King's Landing after their god-queen died.
