DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BOOK!DANY AND SHOW!DANY — The freedmen's perception of Dany

On HBO: Dany decides to execute Mossador for killing a hostage suspected of being a Harpy’s Son, which leads the former slaves to turn against her. After she departs Meereen with Drogon, it's revealed that they started to see Dany as a master herself.

In the books: Dany never executes Mossador (his book equivalent is murdered by the Sons of the Harpy). After Dany flies away on Drogon’s back, the freedmen still call her their mother, want her to return and refuse to acknowledge Hizdahr as their king. The slaves in the Yunkish camps want Dany to defeat the Yunkai'i and to free them. Barristan Selmy rides Dany’s silver because he expects the sight of it will give heart to the former slaves fighting for her. The widow of the waterfront tells Tyrion that she and the slaves of Volantis want Dany to come soon.

Making the freedmen become hostile to Dany in season five was a show departure that (along with others) helped to spread the misconception that Dany made things “worse” for the slaves (which ignores her efforts to rebuild Meereen’s economy) and shouldn’t have tried to abolish slavery (even though, as shown above, freedmen and slaves all over the world continue to support her throughout all of ADWD).

George R. R. Martin to the New York Times: By Season 5 and 6, and certainly 7 and 8, I was pretty much out of the loop. [...] So I think what you’re going to find is, when “Winds of Winter” and then, hopefully, “Dream of Spring” come out, that my ending will be very different.

“My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, most had mixed results... but it is the effort that's heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight the good fight.” ― George R.R. Martin

That night she dreamt that she was Rhaegar, riding to the Trident. But she was mounted on a dragon, not a horse. When she saw the Usurper's rebel host across the river they were armored all in ice, but she bathed them in dragonfire and they melted away like dew and turned the Trident into a torrent. Some small part of her knew that she was dreaming, but another part exulted. This is how it was meant to be. The other was a nightmare, and I have only now awakened.

Dany looked at the horizon with despair. They had lost a third of their number, and still the waste stretched before them, bleak and red and endless. The comet mocks my hopes, she thought, lifting her eyes to where it scored the sky. Have I crossed half the world and seen the birth of dragons only to die with them in this hard hot desert? She would not believe it.

DAENERYS TARGARYEN + Fire motif

George R. R. Martin to Adria's News: Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is… you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.

~

George R. R. Martin to Al Jazeera: Well of course the two outlying ones — the things that are going on north of the Wall and Daenerys Targaryen on the other continent with her dragons —��are of course the ice and fire of the title, “A Song of Ice and Fire.”
