Small (rough) look at upcoming Race of Thrones video script (Patreon)

I was in the shower when I thought of this and it's a very rough draft so I apologize for it looking like a hot mess lol

"Let’s talk about the white elephant in the room Dany. One of the important things that needs to be discussed when examining Dany is the way she is presented and defied throughout the course the show in contrast to the way she is presented in the books. Themajor ways this happens is through the show canon that “Fire can not kill a Dragon.” In the books this is not a real thing.

Dany being able to walk into the fire and not be killed was a one time thing. Plus, in the books her hair does get completely burned off, a change that they for some reason didn’t keep. I wonder why….

This might seem like a small change, but think about it. The next time we get a confirmation of this ability is when Dany kills the Khals and officially takes over the entire Dothraki people so that she can use them as her own personal army.

We are meant to see this as a bad-bitch moment because the Khals are the most sexist of sexist. So what we have is this white character, presenting herself as an almost divinely ordained character, who is entitled to be the leader because she has this magic power that these savage brown people do not have. 

The show gives Dany a sense of divinity that adds to her ego and mythology.  

At no point does the show  act as though Dothraki are a people worthy of self governing. It believes them to be savages and treats them as such. While we critic the sexism in Westeros, which has the glossy finish of Western Medieval Times.

Despite that there is savagery in both, we see the destruction of the brown savagery as emancipation. The destruction of the white savagery of Westeros as terrorism. 

When Tyrion monologues about how we have always treated Dany as a hero, the show is attempting to be self aware, but when POC would bring up the problematic issues with Dany we were shot down. The show had no problem using its brown characters as props for Dany’s journey until her victims were no longer a sea of brown faces. 

You ask why Dany think’s she a god? Because the show, literally, went out of their way to make her one. Until it was inconvenient. 

That’s why the defense of Dany’s ending by citing her colonization doesn’t work for me. Not because I don’t agree, but because the show never cared about that issue until the very end and I’m not going to co-sign that.

Dany may not have been my favorite character, but she was a complex one and if they had understood that from the beginning, then a lot more people would have gotten the ending.

Now onto Dorne."
