She's been able to manipulate everyone far better than he ever could.

Mind you, i was full blown #teamDany in the first season. I thought she was gonna be the one i ride with throughout the series. And im sure she has a bit more good in her than her brother did, so in that sense, he was worse because he was a caricature...but she has ppl thinking she actually cares about the people lol...she only cares about them to the extent where it lets her be a hero. The thought of murdering innocent ppl if it helps her own cause has never phased her.
