Your initial post #152 called Dany and Tyrion out for being "dumber and pettier" and how the showrunners had them go "extra hard" in making them "extra stupid" this season in order to generate some drama.

There's a big, big difference between "extra stupid" and "lack of information". Are you arguing for the former or are you arguing for the latter? You can't have it both ways.

> therefore, the longer you dick around with roundabout strategies which you leave you out in the open and vulnerable

Are you even paying attention? Sure, it's fictional, but do the lives of thousands of innocent people mean nothing to you? What you're arguing goes wholly counter to the core of Daenerys' character over the course of seven seasons and has been re-emphasized every single episode thus far this season.

- She doesn't want to be "Queen of Ashes"
- Thousands of innocents would die if King's Landing were sacked with dragons
- The use of "foreign invaders" in the Dothraki and Unsullied would rally bannermen to Cersei's cause

These things align perfectly with:

- Dany protecting pillaged innocents even though it meant misplaced trust in Mirri Maz Duur
- Dany protecting the enslaved in Slaver's Bay even though she had no legitimate business in that foreign land

Like, their tactics are wholly defensible both thematically and strategically. Casterly Rock is still seen as the wealth capital of Westeros. The Martell army is strong in both numbers and skill. The Tyrell army has wealth. A siege on King's Landing needed the support of two great houses of Westeros to rally not just lesser houses but also the commonfolk.

What's the point of winning the kingdom if everyone just hates you? She would be The Mad King all over again... what would be the point of that?

Maybe you should watch with captions, because then you'd understand what the point of these scenes were.
