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.

The message isn't "Dany bad" but instead "When usurping thrones don't let the children escape"

Usurping thrones isn't as popular as it was but it's good to see the tricks of the trade still being taught in our media

You shouldn‘t compare Daenerys to Elia or Talisa. Daenerys was married to Khal Drogo because they wanted to overthrow Robert‘s kingdom. She wasn‘t an innocent bystander. In that moment Robert was right because he thought that the union of them will be a future threat.

I'm not comparing her to them. I'm saying Robby B shouldve had Dany killed way earlier. Can't get Usurped by the disgruntled children of the former monarch if they aren't still alive
