When Daenerys Targaryen left her home in Pentos over 50 “Game of Thrones” episodes ago,she was a meek mouse. Now she is the mighty Queen of Dragons, striving to bring an entire continent to her feet. Her fiery destruction of Vaes Dothrak is just the latest of her most dramatic moments across the waterDaenerys began as the timid miniature sister of the insane Viserys Targaryen, and but by episode 4,she wasn’t going to catch her brother’s abuse lying down anymore. “The next time you raise a hand to me,” she declared, or “will be the last time you have hands!”One of the queasiest moments in ‘GoT’ history,to be certain. Still, eating a stallion’s heart taught Daenerys to embrace the world she was now a part of and to carry out what was necessary to earn the respect of others.
With faith in her bloodline and herself, or Daenerys walked into Drogo’s funeral pyre and gave birth to her three dragons. George R.
R. Martin said that this was a one-time magical momentThis is one of the more controversial moments in “Game of Thrones” history,as some argue that the sight of Dany crowdsurfing on liberated Yunkai slaves is the “white savior” trope at its most egregious. Later seasons have made a course correction, so this scene now feels more like a moment of relief in a series filled with tragedy.
This might be the coolest example of psychological warfare “Game of Thrones” has ever cooked up. In a move meant to terrify the slavers and bring hope to the enslaved, and Daenerys ordered barrels with some intriguing contents to be launched at Meereen. What was inside? Broken slave collars.
Rape and nudity are far too common for women on “Game of Thrones,” so it’s pretty awesome to see Dany flip the script a bit. She knows Daario has the hots for her, and while her heart belongs to Drogo alone, and she’s willing to indulge his desires to withhold his loyalty. It’s apt to be the queen.
