DAENERYS VS. MARTIN
Daenerys is a unique character. Created by Martin accidentally, but.. and not by chance. It was an accident that she turned out to be SO good and unique. But the idea has a long backstory ..
In one of his interviews, Martin stated that his dream had always been to kill a powerful woman. Just because she 's a strong and powerful woman (Daenerys is just that ) according to Martin, it is always EVIL. Precisely because she is strong and powerful. Not because of actions, not at all. Because of the strength and power.
In another interview, Martin recalled his youth, when his girlfriend left him. Since Martin couldn't imagine himself being bad, and he couldn't imagine that she just liked someone more, he was the only one who came to the conclusion. A bad girl. And since then , the leitmotif of his work is " kill a girl and stay good . " The scriptwriters of the series wrote according to Martin's sketches and "reference points " . In the books, Martin himself generously slanders almost all the female characters, as they are in the series, even conditionally "good" ones. Brienne, for example, is masculine (by the way, this is greatly softened in the series), Cersei was diligently whitewashed and washed by the scriptwriters (apparently out of sympathy for the actress), Lisa Arryn, however, was not whitewashed and almost the entire fandom hates her.
Let's recall the conversation of Tyrion (who, by the way, is a villain, he's just a well-written villain. An alcoholic, a narcissist, and an ignoramus scientist. And Martin's favorite, because Martin painted Tyrion from himself, and then from Shakespeare's portrayal of Richard III) and John. In the cell. And if you throw out all the verbal husks, Tyrion's accusation is this: she's not what we thought she was. She's not what we wanted. SHE HAS HER OWN WILL. Actually, this is exactly what John presented. A WOMAN HAS HER OWN WILL, and THAT's WHAT was presented as EVIL.
By the way, since you can't hate a fictional character, the haters actually hated and hate what's behind the character. And in the context of this article, they hate the very idea that a woman can be subjective, have HER OWN WILL, and DO THINGS HER OWN WAY.
And this is despite the fact that the scene when John picks up Daenerys, who was killed by him, is copied from Michelangelo's sculpture "Pieta", where Mary bends over Jesus in the same way, many wrote about it. That is, exactly the same scriptwriters who called Daenerys HER SATANIC MAJESTY in the script, then compared her to Jesus. Because she was already dead..
In general, all the Others, the Starks, the Lannisters, the slavers, and so on, and so on, and so on, all the dirt poured on the Targaryens, all the dirt poured on women as such, were according to Martin with one single purpose. Kill Daenerys.
However, the character turned out to be so unique, the scene was shot so tragically, and the composer dedicated almost the purest chorale and komos to Daenerys, that is, a religious chant, that literally all the viewers, except for denihaters, refused to accept Martin's idea and the script. Absolutely. By the way, a well-known petition was written after the 3rd episode of the 8th season. After the 6th, many signatories joined. A lot of fanfiction has been written in which Daenerys either resurrected/reborn, or did not die at all. And Martin, judging by his interview, was stunned. It was his finale that the audience did not accept en masse, refusing to share Martin's fixed idea.
Maybe that's why the "Winds of Winter" still won't be written? And Martin has already earned his lobsters.
