man people who pretend it wasn't dogshit writing just so they can feel smug are so obnoxious

THIS.

Also, guessing a female character who obtains an enormous amount of power is going to "go bad" is not exactly a testament to your ability to parse a text. It's more like a testament to your having seen/read any other stories in which women obtain enormous amounts of power.

It's only a slightly iffier bet than betting the male and female leads of a story are eventually going to fuck.

The whole of the text is showing how destructive the relentless pursuit of power is. You don't need to go outside of this canon to theorize that Dany could become a villain. And lol at jabbing at her ending as somehow being anti-feminist, as though there weren't a fuckton of male characters who did horrible things in pursuit of power (as opposed to, what, two women?) or female characters in power who didn't go bad.

There's actually a lot of analysis out there about how women in fiction are presented as more irresponsible with power than men, which inevitably affects how we view women in power in real life, but go off I guess

(Anonymous) 2019-11-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, there is. And it's largely irrelevant to this canon, where there are many more men being equally, and often more, irresponsible than women with power. So I'm not sure this is the gotcha you think it is.

It's not irrelevant just because you refuse to listen to another perspective.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-24 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I have listened. How is one woman being irresponsible with power worth condemning in a canon where a great many men are also irresponsible with power and some other women aren't? The whole series is about people being irresponsible with power. That one woman (or two, but I notice no one here's kicking up a fuss about Cersei) ends up the same as all the rest isn't anti-feminist.

If you reach any more you'll fall over. Oh, wait...

+1 Right???

It can be dogshit writing and still telegraph Dany's endgame clearly.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-23 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Never since the Harry Potter/Harmonian days have I seen a group of fans try so hard to ignore the fucking obvious. The ending was telegraphed. The deeper meaning was all in your head and the obvious cliche is where the story was headed all along.

Jesus christ.

So was the finale good/consistent writing or dogshit writing, then?

(Anonymous) 2019-11-23 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
God yeah
