The Picard ManeuverGeorge is just pacing himself
welleeMy theory is he actually helped write the ending of the TV show, and when the fans absolutely despised it, realized he had to scrap his entire ending.
The problem was the execution. A tyrannical Daenarys as the final villain makes sense, but she was never actually given the time to be the Mad Queen. It’s like they were given the bullet points of the ending and instead of fleshing it out into a proper story, they just used the bullet points as the entire source for the script.
1simpletailerFans had been predicting that Dani would have a heel turn since the first book so it’s not like it wasn’t built up. D&D were just admittedly fanboys of the character and white washed her on the TV show so the twist came seemingly out of nowhere.
Even in the show Dani is basically a child who’s convinced it’s her birthright to rule over the world. People were rooting for her because the story arc was cool, but if we take the character seriously she’s completely deranged since season 1.
