If God could be petty enough to do the same,why should we hold ourselves,who are supposedly "lesser beings" to a higher standard.
I have stopped watching the show does not mean i can't share my opinions on what ever is going in the series

So you agree you are a lesser being to God, no? And you still want to compare the decisions of lesser beings with God's own decisions.

Leave God out of this abeg. The movie is fiction and fantasy. Calm down.

isn't God The one we all strive to emulate.if God could order such,why should we expect different from us his creations.
i do not feel good that innocent people died.but war and love are always excuses for the wrong people do.

Not everyone emulates a genocidal entity.
So if war justifies the killing of innocent people, in the context of Kings landing, it's to what end? What's the massacre supposed to achieve?

At least we know daenerys's action was fiction at its best,but we can't say the same about God's order to completely destroy the amalekites.

if you are going to beat daenerys with that stick,just have it at the back of your mind that the God you know and serve made the same choice.

I didn't say war justifies the killing of innocents,i said it has always been an excuse people use.
As for my comment on God,i only used that to demonstrate the sheer hypocrisy people can display.

how does "God being God" exclude him from the "genocide" he asked Saul to commit?,or have you forgotten about sodom and gomorrah?.were there not children and infants and even pregnant women in the city?.
it's people like you that would turn a blind eye to genocide because it is your president,or a loved one that committed the act.

I beg to disagree. It is common wisdom. If those wildfires were buried underground, they wouldn't have leaked out the way they did. Magma, Napalm or whatever it was Drogon was spitting isn't that powerful to burrow underground and cause a spark. I take my cue from reanimated Viserion who couldn't get past a stone to roast Jon. While we saw the strength of the Dragon in a new dimension in the recent episode, we very much know they don't have the strength to dig out the Wildfires from underground the city. The wildfire is highly flammable but that in itself isn't enough.

I saw the episode again yesterday and it was obvious the wildfires were stored in the buildings that was destroyed. If this was the case, then it makes no sense that residential buildings were locked up and used for wildfire havens during the Mad King's reign and remained that way decades later. There is no sense in it. It would have been discovered by anyone and alarm would have been raised.

I strongly believe Cersei planted them as traps around the city while the unfortunate people of the city were her last line of defense. Scorpions - Wildfires - Human shields. It is a well thought out strategy that never materialized all thanks to Dany's rage. Saying they were planted by the Mad King a long time ago only to burst into flames within buildings as depicted in the episode is unsellable.

You stated something here and said it is common wisdom. If that's not stating a fact, i wonder what is.
I won't keep dragging thing with you bro since I see the path you're threading with the koto aiye nonsense you said.

I just finished watching S8E5 and I frankly still can't believe what I've just seen **crying**. looks like she would be queen of the ashes after all.
P.S: While isn't there a crying smiley on Nairaland Oga seun?
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by melodyogonna(m): 3:22pm On May 18, 2019
Seun:

It is true that she did many good, decent and kind things. But there are many men in history who have been kind and generous to their families and friends and people they empathised with for some reason and yet committed heinous atrocities. Hitler had a dog, and he loved that dog.


The world of Game of Thrones is brutal, and many of our favorite characters have been pushed to their breaking point and beyond. Arya, Sansa, Jon and Bran lost their father, mother and two brothers. Theon was tortured and castrated; his father assassinated. Samuel Tarly lost his father and brother. Jaime, a legendary sword-fighter, lost his hand. Dany was the only one who wanted to burn cities to the ground in retaliation.
She is the only one who has dragons.

Arya killed the entire Frey family remember?

This people wey dey make this game of thrones dey craze, toying with people's emotions like this should be a criminal offence! Ayam sad!!

But I understand, life is not black and white, we don't always get to see what we want.

however I think those saying danaerys can't rule the seven kingdoms because she burned KL are deluded. There is nothing like being fit and not being fit to rule in the seven kingdoms. the world is not black and white. the seven kingdoms has been ruled by really good kings like Jaeharys the councilator; really cruel kings like Maegor the cruel (this one beheaded someone who questioned him in a small council meeting ... or was that a war council meeting?); really weak kings(I don't forget that one name, looked like he was sixty at the age of thirty, might be the most indecisive person that ruled westeros); really strong kings like Aegon the conqueror(This one and his sisters burned dorne sotey nothing dey to burn again); really broken kings like Aegon son of Rhaenera(watched his mother get eaten by his uncle's dragon - broke him really hard); really drunken kings like Robert baratheon(being King might be the most boring thing this one ever did); really foolish kings like Joffery (while send a kings guard to murder some you could have easily poisoned? this one showed so much foolishness I was astounded, really.); really pious kings like baelor (I heard this one's wife died a virgin, shh!! don't tell anyoneone); really mad kings like Aerys(no need explaining this one.) and other types of kings. ofcourse there was a really confused queen - Rhaenera ( this one became weak when she should have been strong, I doubt cercei would have let the one-handed mad septon 'shepherd' live long enough to poison the people's mind against her. let's not talk about the blunder she made with the dragon seeds), and a really mischievous queen like cercei ( Apart from Tywin, this might be the most unpredictable person in the show, she was pretty predictable in the books however.).

how did varys know that she was bad?

Because she was alone


Most rulers are like that, they are feared not loved


Varys is not a hero, all of a sudden he knew that Dany was bad


Dany listened to them and all she got was defeat upon defeat

The show just forced that scene down our throats, Dany did not plan B4 hand to burn Everything

If that was her plan, she would have done it since her dragons became big

See all she did with 1, imagine 3 dragons

Dany is hurt that city took so much away from her


Took her family, her dragons, her best friend and now even Jon is gone, she is pained


Arya killed an entire generation because they killed some members of her family and u cheered her

Where all the freys evil? Arya killed every last 1 over a few members, Dany lost everything and ure complaining about people that she killed


D D are working hard to force the Dany is the new villain thing, I don't care how they kill her and twist it


As far as I'm concerned, game of thrones ended in episode 5
Dont be blinded by love for dany, jon is more reasonable than her in every way

Hehehehe.. Beautiful cheesy

Let people keep waiting for a perfect King or Queen. As if perfection has ever been a criteria for selecting rulers anywhere.
Lord Varys with all his touted wisdom and cunning still could not figure out there's no such thing as a perfect King or Queen.

Daenarys is bae, they better not kill off that character. angry

Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Cybertext(m): 4:44pm On May 18, 2019
You guys are still on this matter

Ok, my last point... I think Cersie's words came back to hunt her "power is power" . Power intoxicate and an emotional Dany was pushed to the wall after countless of failed advice by Her Hand. I blame Tyrion a lot in what transpired in that last episode (well let just say blood is thicker than water). Tyrion still loves her sister, and wanted her to escape. If I was Dany Tyrion should be stripped of his titles with immediate effect and sent to the wall grin. (Oh there's no more wall)

Well We can all debate all year whether it was a good call for dany to roast kings landing but many people in her shoes would have done worse considering the circumstances she has faced.

Trust me a catlyn stark would have done the same if Arya or sansa was the one beheaded in her presence, if she had the army and dragon Dany possessed. Dany had lost all her confidants and the ones close by are already showing various forms of mistrust an treachery...

For you to be a great leader your subject must fear you. The Roman empire did it, the British Crusaders did it, the Babylonians did it, American leaders are doing it

As far as I'm concerned, game of thrones ended in episode 5

It was when Varys found out Jon was the true heir that he wanted to alter the course of things by most likely poisoning her, but dany was too distraught to even eat because she now knew she was not the true heir and begged and hoped Jon would keep it a secret. So Varys poisoning plans failed.

He got killed because Tyron exposed him to Daenerys as not being loyal to her and even knowing the truth about Jon being the true heir.

Trying to justify what Daenerys did by comparing it with what Arya did just does not follow.

The Freys were all in on the plot to Massacre the starks and their bannermen at the red wedding. Arya witnessed some of it. So when she revenged she was targeting the Freys by poisoning the wine they drank and particularly baking Freys 2 sons for him to eat. In the poisoning scenario if there was anyone there that was not in on the plan but died after taking the wine, we can describe that as collateral damage. She targeted the main people who killed her family and it was unfortunate that some innocents were there.

But in the case of Dany she was not even after Cersie per se she was just torching people on the street that were a far distance away from the red keep where Cersie was. Was Cersie on the streets of KL?
