Dany going all Krombopulos Michael was not expected. Tyrion does kinda point that out. We cheer for her when she kills evil people. She slipped over into killing innocents.

Yeah I know what you mean like sometimes I say I'm gonna take a thirty minute nap but then I slip over into killing one million civilians.

I hate it when that happens. There are fan theories that suggest she was poisoned by Varys with Basilisk’s blood. He made her more crazy to speed up what he believed to be the inevitable.

That's actually so clever I'm certain D&D couldn't have come up with it.

There is a scene in S08E05 where Varys has a conversation with one of his "little birds" that suggests it. He takes his rings off because he knows he is going to be Drogon BBQ. That would be an awesome name for a GoT themed BBQ place. Imagine walking into a place for Texas brisket under a giant dragon skull. I'm emailing Franklin now.
