Missandei may have died in Game of Thrones 8 episode 4, but her last words of "Dracarys" echoed out through the latest episodes. While a lot of people were kind of outraged at Daenerys for snapping, it turns out even actress Nathalie Emmanuel didn't like how things went down.
This was her post:
Of course, we could just read this as an attempt at humor, but with everything that's gone down, a lot of people are convinced that some of the actors already knew that the fans were going to hate the direction of the season.
With one last episode left, the show has found our primary antagonist with Daenerys Targaryen. Dany is now responsible for the death of a thousand innocents, and it looks like she became the Queen of the Ashes after all. Weird, considering that in the same episode, Dany talks about how mercy was her side's strength and not her weakness.
Either way, the show has been building up to this by having Daenerys lose everything since the first episode. She's lost a good chunk of her army, and it's been proven time and again that the North doesn't trust her. While I'm fine with Jon Snow sitting on the Iron Throne, this character assassination with Dany just doesn't feel like it's working. In fact, I'm even starting to think it's kind of sexist, what with Dany suddenly being unfit when the past seven seasons were pointing us out that conquering Westeros was her desitiny.
