[QUOTE="variant, post: 7602846, member: 41293"] Burning someone alive is pretty terrible way to execute someone. I know most people just brushed it aside because it feels justified, but seriously. Jon Snow put an arrow in Mance Rayder to prevent his burning. Also, remember she didn't just do this as a form of execution either, she dreamed that walking into the fire while burning her would hatch dragon eggs. So blood magic. Is season 2 she locked the two people in a vault to either suffocate or dehydrate to death. That's just torturing someone to death. Again, it was brushed aside by viewers because they betrayed a protagonist. If they deserved execution, she could have done it cleanly. In season 4 she crucified the masters which is definitely torturing someone to death, and she did it indiscriminately without finding out their guilt or innocence. For one, you don't commit an act of atrocity to punish an act of atrocity, and you don't punish people without finding out their guilt in the crime you punish them for. Once again, ignored by people because they were "evil slavers, and deserved whatever was coming to them" as I often heard. In season 5 she fed random nobles to her dragons as a means to scare them in not being in the sons of the Harpy. She didn't even know if the person she fed to the dragons were apart of them or not, she just did it. She was even going to feed her allies to them. Again, people justified it because they were "evil former slavers and deserved whatever came to them". In season 6 she killed two emissaries under parley for their crime of demanding her surrender in a war, which is what emissaries are there for. The book Fire & Blood tells us that not even Aegon the Conqueror would do something like this, and actively avoided it even when Dorne committed really atrocious things during wartime. This is again justified for the same reasons above. In season 7 she burned two prisoners of war. When Robert rebelled, he took prisoners, and [I]after[/I] he was crowned, he gave them an option to kneel. The first instance of Daenerys applying her ruthlessness on Westerosi soil. In the books, she's even worse. As you see in her mind she's very uncontrollably irrational in these moments, and often [I]regrets [/I]her actions once she sees the consequences, but keeps doing them, and slowly as the books go on, she questions her actions less and less. I think the last atrocity we see her commit in the last book, she showed no remorse and that was when she ordered the torture of the innocent wineseller daughters in front of their father. Daenerys also isn't the most honorable person either. She did trick the slave master to giving her the Unsullied while burning him alive, and stole the emissaries gold who brought gold as an offer for her to sail to Westeros and leave them alone.
