@WillaBooey I think that sometimes the narrative logic overrides the character logic, which is what upsets people. It means characters can act with narrative consistency but lack internal consistency. Especially between major plot points where they might pontificate.Permalink On twitter.com

@WillaBooey Like Daenerys's internal logic is very unclear. She appears to generally forgive people who try to kill her usually in the show, because that doesn't involve decisions along the axis, it happens in downtime. But her narrative logic is 100% consistent.On twitter.com

@WillaBooey She does generally the right thing, but the wrong way, because she was trained to use fear and seek absolute authority. As an agent in a narrative with that, she is consistent. But we spend a lot of time with her, building her out, so we believe she can leave her narrative arc.Permalink On twitter.com

@WillaBooey I think breaking her arc would have been far more interesting a decision, but she doesn't. That's what disappoints people, I think. As viewers we invest a lot in the agency of these characters and when narrative overrides that agency we generally feel cheated.Permalink On twitter.com
