Daenerys Showed Restraint Until Cersei Took Too Much From Her
Burning King's Landing to the ground was a goal Daenerys had at the start of her war with Cersei in Game of Thrones, but she was talked out of it by Tyrion.

Daenerys is simply a product of the cruelty of Westeros — she's a mirror, metaphorically speaking, and a reminder of the destruction that unfolded during eras like House of the Dragon's prequel setting. She also serves as a thematic glimpse into Westeros' future if something doesn't change, and this is a fact Tyrion probably realized all too well when he ensur...
The Game Of Thrones Prequel Explains Why Dany Being A Targaryen Matters
When it comes to the Dragon Queen, Game of Thrones' final story arc for the character is further contextualized by her ancestors in House of the Dragon, some of whom possess their fair share of the infamous Targaryen madness. Though it's never explicitly stated, the Targaryen madness is a result of not just centuries of incest, but also the blood magic that runs in the veins of the Valyrian family.
