Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Daenerys Targaryen's "Mad Queen" story was controversial, but it could have been better if Game of Thrones season 4 hadn't made a major change to Tyrion Lannister's story from the books. There was a large backlash to Game of Thrones' ending, and Daenerys' arc was a big part of why.
Related Game of Thrones: Why Shae Betrayed Tyrion For Tywin It seemed like Shae really loved Tyrion in Game of Thrones - until she betrayed him for his father, Tywin Lannister. Here's Shae's betrayal explained. At this point in the books, however, Jaime comes clean. Tysha really was a crofter's daughter; everything Tyrion had initially thought was indeed the truth, and the lie came from Tywin because he would not have his son married to someone lowborn.
Even Tyrion killing Shae is subtly different in the book. The end result is the same - he strangles her to death with a chain - but there's a longer exchange in the book, where she pleads with him, even calling him "my giant of Lannister" once again. There's a much clearer sense of rage within Tyrion when he does it. Rather than have Shae attack him like in Game of Thrones, the book is even more straight-up murder, leading into the darker character that comes next.
"That night Tyrion Lannister dreamed of a battle that turned the hills of Westeros as red as blood. He was in the midst of it, dealing death with an axe as big as he was, fighting side by side with Barristan the Bold and Bittersteel as dragons wheeled across the sky above them. In the dream he had two heads, both noseless. His father led the enemy, so he slew him once again.
A Darker Tyrion Would Have Better Set Up Daenerys' Game Of Thrones Season 8 Story He Would Have Actively Encouraged Her Burning King's Landing In Game of Thrones, Tyrion is convinced by Varys of Daenerys' potential as a force for good, for change in Westeros. He wants to see her for himself, but ultimately him working with her is a teaming up of two irrefutably good characters, even if they've done bad things.
When Tyrion and Daenerys finally meet in The Winds of Winter - and he gains her trust - then it seems like he will encourage her more violent tendencies. Related Game Of Thrones: All 8 Characters Who Survived From Beginning To End After 73 blood-filled episodes, only 8 characters lived from Game of Thrones' pilot until the end of season 8 - here's who survived Game of Thrones. It's very possible that Daenerys' villain arc would have worked better with a darker Tyrion next to her. They would have encouraged one another, and there'd be a clearer build up to that moment.
