Debateable. I hear what you’re saying though. They’ve been throwing subtle hints at this for 7 seasons, with each season becoming more apparent.None of the first 7 seasons should be taken as signs of her going mad though.
S1: She burned a witch who cursed her dying husband and her womb
S2: A sorcerer trying to steal her dragons
S3: A city of slavers (after first freeing the slaves)
S4: More slavers,
S5: Noblemen who threatened war against her
S6: The people who captured her and condemned her to basically a life of nunnery and servitude
S7: The men and supplies of an opposing army
Then jump to season 8 and she's burning innocent people alive (women and children included) AFTER taking King's Landing? Serious question : Who could have seen this coming after last season? What build up did we have?
You can argue the earlier seasons were less subtle, but that’s because we agreed with her motives. But the actions are same, only we don’t agree with them any more so she looks mad.
I seen the Anakin comment earlier - I think that was a worse transformation than this.
