The major sticking point for many was Dany’s apparent transmogrification into an unhinged tyrant, as if this was something that happened in the space of five sour-faced minutes.
Nah, not buying it. Consider:
Dany has been burning people alive since Mirri Maz Duur in season one...
...who betrayed her, causing her son to be stillborn as a deformed monster, and her husband reduced to a vegetable;
...the Tarleys...
...who refused to bend the knee;
...Varys...
...who plotted to oust (and presumably kill) her and install Jon as monarch in her place;
...the slavers...
...who enslaved people, duh.
Dani's entire raison d'etre, since the first series, has been to punish those who wield power with cruelty and to protect the small folk. Admittedly, Varys was neither cruel nor (conventionally) powerful, but he threatened her authority and probably also her life, and he knew the danger he was putting himself in because she explicitly threatened him with a reptilian roasting if he ever betrayed her when he first entered her service. But destroying the surrendering Lannister soldiers and most of the civilian population of King's Landing is totally out of character for her, even taking into account her gradual turn towards authoritarianism.
