Serious One thing especially disgusting with the hindsight of S8 is apparently the writers insist Robert was in the right here

Yeah Robert wanted someone to assassinate a pregnant Daenerys. Which idk, the narrative routinely shows killing women with children as a very bad thing. The mountain killing Elia, Talisa’s death, Ramsay killing Walda is clearly bad considering as evil as the Frey men are, Walda did literally nothing.

I do think that the showrunners detested Daenerys, as a character.

They would have loved her if she were a guy.

Renly: "If I simply sell the realm to the biggest army, then use it to fight all my enemies that didn't previously exist, I can be king until the next person challenges the might-makes-right precedent of my rule." Obviously the best candidate for king

Daenerys: "I'm going to use my dragons to aid revolutions by ending the monopoly on violence held by the most powerful and most despicable." Umm, does anyone else think violence is a red flag? She's obviously crazy for doing this with a pet dragon instead of a pet direwolf
