I know, most of the people here would have loved to see Dany on the Iron Throne. While I‘m also not a big fan of season 8 either - the Dany Arc seems legit to me.
Regarding to the seasons before, she always was a power-thirsty ruler you couldn‘t really negotiate with.
- Selling your own body to convince Khal Drago to take „back“ the Iron Throne.
- Expects everyone to help her for free because she is the „rightful“ Queen.
- Pretends to make deals (e.g. Astapor), to kill the people. Not really trustworthy. I mean slavery was their way of life. It‘s like you would have killed every man of the Confederate States of America in the past.
- Burns people alive who won‘t follow her (poor Tarlys).
- Crucifys a bunch of masters in Meeren, half of them innocent.
- a lot of self-esteem.
- destroying the economic backbone of a whole region.
- threaten people to kill them or burn their cities, if they don‘t help her (e.g. Quarth or during the siege of Meeren)
- unthankful regarding to her behaviour to Varys who saved her life and who secured Dorne and The Reach for her
- and so on …
I mean she‘s pretty but that’s it. She was always a crazy little girl. Lack of strategic mind, no real idea of ruling (which was ok, when she was still listing to her advisors), underestimates her opponents.
In the medieval age it was common that if a dynasty was deposed, the descendants of that dynasty had no right to the throne.
So she isn‘t a real Queen by right as well. Even if - who of the small folk wants somebody on the throne, who’s father was a crazy and evil person?
Even Edmund Tully would have been a better king.
