Showdown in the Galaxy Era.

ParliamentOfDogs posted:

Yeah Dany is practically always soliciting advice from people and relying on her advisors. Part of her problem this season is she only has Westerosi Law Angel Selmy on her shoulder and no Worldly Pragmatic Devil Jorah on the other.

Yeah, but that's kind of what I meant. Last season involved her listening to Jorah about having mercy in Yunkai and Astapor, only for her to throw Jorah out of her court by the end of the season. Listening to her advisors is a good thing, until she silences or removes them.

There's a reason the people of Mereen hissed at her after executing her other advisor. They're increasingly seeing her as a tyrant and dictator. She literally replaced Mereen's primary religious symbol - the golden harpy statue - with a giant Targaryan banner. It's a cult of personality, built on religious fervor. It could so, so easily go into straight-up Mad King territory on that basis alone.

The only similar example - Melisandre's true believer act - is also marked by extreme violence, and we're supposed to be on Davos' side in criticizing it. The fact Stannis listens to Melisandre and ignores Davos is also one of the most important character dilemmas in that plotline. In general, single-minded, sadistic violence, and isolation from advisors or subjects, is a recurring sign of corruption in GoT.

TL;DR I think there's a very clear way in which Dany becomes evil as gently caress. I can imagine a very real situation where she's the final villain of the series, if she increasingly believes in her own legend and rejects those around her trying to contradict it.
