Fakeout as Foreshadowing

Did it seemed kind of weird to anybody else that the overlord was supposed to be this big thing only for Abigail to sell it off as her using an old prophecy instead of being the actual Overlord? It seemed 2 convenient. What if she was just using it as she said to try and gain power and it turns out Macy actually is the heir to the guy threw her demon blood. It seems we want to be learning so much about demon Bloodlines unless we are going to learn about Macy's especially with the whole find the overlord sneak out they did back in episode 2. Be kind of cool if they used it as a foreshadowing instead of just a fake out. I don't know.

Am I the only one that feels Abigail's trying way too hard to be important to actually be important or all that powerful. I mean she already admitted to using the overlord as a power play and she keeps on inserting herself almost to make herself seem more important and powerful than she really is. Like each time she mentions it her power or her importance or significance in anyway it's almost seems butting in and a reminder that makes me be life but are you really are you really that important or powerful are you know noticeable.

Sorry to bother you on this but how do you think they handled the political drama of got? Why is no one discussing about the power vacuum Dany’s death left?

Good question! Short answer: David and Dan kinda forgot what triggered the War of the Five Kings. 

Daenerys’ death left Westeros in another power void, definitely, and to what should be a much more divided realm than when Baratheon died. See, Dany just replaced Cersei as the leader of the Empire, for what, a day? And then she was killed without actually putting the groundwork to stabilize / restructure this newly acquired Empire. She was the one holding the alliance together. Dorne called their banners for her. The Iron Islands are there to fight her battle. The Northern army was there solely because Jon swore fealty to her. Not to mention, before Dany came in to the picture, the realm was already in the fragile state, and more so when Cersei decided to eliminate her enemies in KL by bombing the Great Sept of Baelor. From north to south leaders were openly calling for independence / are in open rebellion against the crown (that conversation between Jaime and Cersei in S7 says hi!). Even Cersei knew her status as Queen didn’t hold much legitimacy, and that the Empire is really in the state of disarray, and this is why she went full Power mode and kill literally anyone she could kill to stop them from undermining her position. 

There’s no logical reason why Westeros wouldn’t fall back to another long civil war after the death of the person who held the alliance together. Yara rallied for her in part because Dany promised her independence in case she asked for it. The switch from hereditary monarchy to elective monarchy without giving us a more detailed picture of that journey from A to B is again, a microcosm of what went wrong with this series. Dany’s  large army not taking control after her death is asking too much from viewers with how long they can suspend disbelief over this political shuffle. You can’t even make an argument that maybe they were following Tyrion because dude, Tyrion resigned as Dany’s hand right in front of them, and after she declared Grey Worm as the commander. To see him making political decision while a literal prisoner of war as a traitor right in front of Grey Worm is hilarious. Worse, and this has been the laughing point in fandom right now, you have one lord asking for Northern independence from her brother as if it’s a candy, and no one is saying hold up, what about my kingdom? It’s like, they also kinda forgot the whole history of the place they live in. 

But then again, the only way to make sense of this whole mess is to not apply logic to it. 

God I’m just gonna say it, bc people don’t seem to understand this. Foreshadowing is not the same thing as actually developing a character arc. You can say this was foreshadowed as much as you want but the truth of the matter is, it still doesn’t make sense. They never really showed Dany do anything that would make us believe she is actually going mad. You can’t just have a couple of characters worry about it, have her save millions of lives and then just magically make her go mad. There is no progression. There is her being a hero and then in the span of an episode she is mad. Hinting that Daernerys will go mad, isn’t the same thing as actually writing her decent to madness. I don’t care if you foreshadowed it, it still doesn’t make senses
