Good! Now you are making better point.

She did all she has done because she want to achieve her dreams, not because she gave a fvck about the living by fighting with the North.

And please, do well to understand that many characters in that movie are also pursuing their dreams, including Cersei and Lordvarys.

Even "The Mountain"

The zombie mountain? What dream could that idiot be pursuing?

Danny's dream is not just to put her buttocks on the iron throne, she wants to break the wheel and end bad monarchy.

She actually cares about the people as we have seen in mereen. Saying that she doesn't care about the living is just bullocks. If everyone died, who then would she rule?

You see that's something cersie doesn't understand, see they way she manipulated the people of Kingslanding into it coming to the red keep so to use them as human shields, that's someone who holds power for selfish reasons.

You made a very good point bruv, but sadly, it doesn't change the fact that she's selfish(entirely or not entirely).

You last line; Selfish people are ready to sacrifice whatever it takes, so long as they are hoping to gain.

Everyone is a little selfish you can't condemn someone for pursuing their dreams.

While the recent episode taught me a huge lesson about sticking my neck out for people, this very thread has taught me a greater lesson that humans are not deserving of help.

Dany is presently running at a huge loss. In the space of a little time, she has lost a whole lot. A hoarde of Dothraki, over half of his unsullied soldiers, if she didn't venture into the North, Viserion wouldn't have been speared from the sky. Although we weren't told what would have happened to humanity if Bran had been killed by the NK but what I do know is that the the entire North would have been leveled in an instant the NK went beyond the wall had Dany not sacrificed to be there.

She could have easily taken the Iron Throne but suspended the idea to fight with the North. Jon Snow would have known he was a Targaryen before the arrival of the Night King but he would have perished and we wouldn't be having this back and forth over Dany being selfish.

Perhaps people don't understand that Dany believes she is sent by some whatever to be the liberator of the people. The walk through fire reinforced that belief, not just within her but those who witnessed it.

I don't want to concern myself with who gets the Throne for now but should Dany turn out to be a Mad Queen then I say so be it! Most humans would break and cave in if the things happening to her were to happen to them in reality.

Those who would be able to relate to what Dany is passing through right are those who have stuck out their necks for people and got burnt terribly in the end. You'll never understand her if you don't picture yourself in her shoes.

She is obsessed about the Throne, no doubt. She has lost soldiers, and trusted friends because of her kind act. Asking her to forget the Throne is similar to saying one should give one's dream for whatever reasons there are.

Thank you for this

If I was in dannys shoes,I will be happy that I am not the last of my kind, I have someone I finally care about and will work together with him to take the iron throne and not, hiding his identity and want the throne for my self
She even called it her destiny Even knowing she is not the legitimate heir to the throne.
You will never know a character well, until he or she taste power... She is selfish admit it... There is nothing relatable about the truth..

Jon's identity threatens to stand in the way of the one thing she had wanted all her life. The moment she learnt about it, her insecurities crept it. Everyone in the north gave her every reason to be worried about her claim. She knew the people would rally behind a male heir and push him to stake his claim once they found out.

About destiny, everything she has been through led her to believe it's her destiny. Remember when we first met her she was just a scared little girl who only wanted to get back to her home, but to do that her brother sold her off to khal drogo because he was promise an army to take back to westros. Fast forward, said brother was murdered for threatening her life and the life of her baby and the dream of going home died with him. Later an assassination attempt was made on her which led her husband to declare he was going to attack westros for her, this rekindled the zeal to go back home and restored her hope. I don't need to remind you that said husband died while making the arrangements to fulfill his vow to take her home, this led to her entering that pyre with three stones and coming out with three dragons and the rest they say is history.

Now her journey throw essos and experiences had shaped her into wanting to make the world a better place, and she feels there is no one better suited to rid the world of evil monarchs but her self and to do this she needs to be the one to call the shots. It's her destiny, if she doesn't sit on the iron throne then she has failed.

It's true power can corrupt, but sometimes it's because people won't be willing to accept the person wielding the power so the person has to use that power to bend them to their will.

This is you, being emotional, not being logical.

Is Danny not selfish?
Did she fight alongside with the North for the living or because she wanted their support for the iron throne?


Bruv, you'll only get my point if you can answer those questions truthfully.

That's why I said you should put yourself in Danny's shoes. In that kind of situation emotions would take over logic.

To answer your question, she is not entirely selfish. She is entitled yes. She fought alongside the north because she felt it was the right thing to do. She didn't need their support, she had an army and three dragons, she could've conquered the whole bloody seven kingdoms if she wanted but she choose to offer them the chance to bend the kneel and subjugate themselves.

She has made some sacrifices, that is not something selfish people do.

IamD18:
I don't support what people are supporting. I say the truth.

I'm no fan of Sansa, neither am I a fan of Danny. But as far as in concerned, Danny is selfish.

Put yourself in Danny's shoes and maybe you will understand her character. For me, Danny has been the most relatable character this season. No one would act differently given the circumstances.
