nasty little twerp with crazy bitter-man opinions
It's indefensible and doesn't work in my opinion. What she did was significantly worse than what the Mad King wanted to do for fecks sake.
But revenge on who? The children didn't fire kill anyone, it was Cersei. Just burn the Red Keep, that's a strong message and you get to kill Cersei. Job done. I don't think Daenerys was able to survey all of the civilians on whether they were happy under Cerseis rule. For her to go out and slaughter everyone after the city fecking surrendered is ridiculous. Just doesnt sit right with me. I'm sure it'll be waved away as her 'going mad'. Which is an acceptable reason if shown properly on screen, imo it wasn't. Wanting a shag and looking weapy isn't signs of her going mad.
I'm pretty sure watching her burn their Iron Fleet, destroy the castle walls, kill 40,000 troops and then burning down the entire Red Keep while her huge Dragon survives would be enough to allow her to rule by fear.
Of course its indefensible, shes mad.
