@thesilentequation: The show turned Daenerys into a flawless icon, but George R.R. Martin’s books tell a much more visceral story. While the TV version kept her pristine until the very last second, the source material shows a queen who was physically and mentally falling apart long before she ever reached Westeros. From the horror of her first pregnancy to the actual physical decay she suffered in the Dothraki Sea, the "Sanitized Version" we saw on screen was just a shadow of the real story. #gameofthrones #GOT #daenerystargaryen #westeros #asongoficeandfire
Wait so in the book her son was mutated like Rhaenyra's daughter, Visenya?

In the books she was also 13/14.. and her brother did questionable things to her before handing her off to Drogo..

Why are you implying that she goes mad in the books and that this is intentionally showing her “break down” when GRRM has already stated the books do not end the same

not to confuse daenerys’ realisation that she must use her dragons with that she will go mad and burn kings landing to the ground.. she comes to the realisation that some people (slavers & sons of the harpy) will never negotiate terms of peace, she will have to speak their language of violence - this doesn’t mean she will blatantly slaughter innocent people

Leo_8.7 :
She accepts her only purpose is to destroy? And her psyche snaps really? In her final chapter she was sick and the witch Quaithe visited her to remind her what the dragons know. Her visions there made her understand why she had to go back to advance. Hence her final scene with Drogon and the khalasar that was Drogo’s before death.

Mirri Max Duur describes Rhaego as scaly and having wings in the show too. I just watched that episode

She is more realistic in books. A fighter imo who does what she needs to do to survive. I would love to see her wield a valyrian sword like her ancestor visenya

Super appreciate the comments on her sanity level. The show dropped the ball on justifying how she ends up doing what she did (And I do believe, if Martin were to ever finish these, that's how her story will end). In the books she's still across the sea and has been showing a mental decline for a good minute. Our girl has been THROUGH it in the books and it takes a heavy toll

Dany straight up getting dysentery (and possibly miscarrying) while lost in the grass sea was genuinely pretty miserable, she’s a trooper for pushing through it honestly

It never bothered me that her hair didn't burn, just that her hair ties didn't.

The books are too much I dare say. The show did it justice. The books are just shock value

This is an extremely wild misinterpretation of Daenerys as a character.

Didn't she had those visions only while in the middle of nowhere and sick? I don't remember her having them in any other moment. I think you should make a version with what she did in the show but not in the books. There are a lot of differences that make you realize that book Dany is just way better. I don't see any descent into madness for her in the books.

1: The show literally described her baby just like that 2: It had nothing to with her DNA being tied to dragons, It was because of the curse the witch mother used
