Still surprised by her fiery rampage at King’s Landing? Let’s go to the tapes and revisit how Daenerys got here.
Emilia Clarke in “Game of Thrones.” By Elahe Izadi Elahe Izadi Pop culture writer Email Bio Follow May 18 at 8:00 AM This post contains a multitude of spoilers for “Game of Thrones.”
Daenerys’s longtime fighters had been following the Breaker of Chains for a while now, and from what they’ve seen, it may not have been that big of a leap for her to also become Scorcher of Cities. She has always demanded unwavering loyalty and promised hell for her enemies. In earlier seasons, Dany promises to “lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground” once her dragons are grown, and that she will “take what is mine with fire and blood.
Chilling with the Dothraki Daenerys comes to very much appreciate Khal Drogo’s intensity. When Drogo killed her brother with molten gold, all she could muster up was, “He was no dragon.” Later, she reunites with Drogon and rides him to her Dothraki army to deliver a rousing, fiery speech: “Will you kill my enemies in their iron suits and tear down their stone houses? Will you give me the Seven Kingdoms, the gift Khal Drogo promised me before the Mother of Mountains?” Breaker of Chains The reputation that Daenerys would be good to the masses comes in large part from her attitude toward slavery. She first expressed such sympathies when married to Drogo .
Daenerys also went to Yunkai, overthrowing masters of some 200,000 slaves who threw a big welcome party. In all of these cities, Daenerys overthrew leaders and, in return, common folk gave her their cheers and love. Maybe the “I give up” vibes at King’s Landing were both unfamiliar and unacceptable to her.
Tyrion reminds her, “You knew what your father was,” and reveals the Mad King’s plans for King’s Landing: He put wildfire underneath the city and wanted to blow everything up rather than surrender. “This is entirely different,” Daenerys responds. “You’re talking about destroying cities. It is not entirely different,” Tyrion says. So he suggests an alternative plan, which they enact: demand the slave masters surrender unconditionally.
