“We shot this scene the day after we shot Emilia sending Jorah on his merry way and banishing him. What was interesting here was to try and have Emilia at a distance be the queen and the host of these meetings and when you cut in and you’re closer to her you can see that she’s unstable because she’s now lost. She came away from season one with two things: her dragons and Jorah. One of them’s gone and she’s about to realize she’s got to lock away the other, and she’s not doing very well.”
– Alex Graves, 4.10 The Children Commentary

Ugh I hate how the show made Drogo seem ANYTHING OTHER THAN KIND AND ATTENTIVE AND ASKING FOR CONSENT. Which he does. Multiple times. And Dany consents and there is no marital rape shit.oh really?
Even the nights brought no relief. Khal Drogo ignored her when they rode, even as he had ignored her during their wedding, and spent his evenings drinking with his warriors and bloodriders, racing his prize horses, watching women dance and men die. Dany had no place in these parts of his life. She was left to sup alone, or with Ser Jorah and her brother, and afterward to cry herself to sleep. Yet every night, some time before the dawn, Drogo would come to her tent and wake her in the dark, to ride her as relentlessly as he rode his stallion. He always took her from behind, Dothraki fashion, for which Dany was grateful; that way her lord husband could not see the tears that wet her face, and she could use her pillow to muffle her cries of pain. When he was done, he would close his eyes and begin to snore softly and Dany would lie beside him, her body bruised and sore, hurting too much for sleep.
Day followed day, and night followed night, until Dany knew she could not endure a moment longer. She would kill herself rather than go on, she decided one night…
—AGOT, Daenerys III2019 and we’re having this same discussion. Drogo is rapist trash.
Nope.
Drogo only showed any consideration for Dany once she made herself into the sort of person she thought he’d prefer (so she could gain a modicum of control over the nightly rapes he was inflicting on her). He had no interest in the girl who dreamed of the house with the red door and who cried herself to sleep after a day of riding with blistered hands and thighs chafed raw; he only engaged with Viserys on his own terms, with little regard for Dany’s feelings or situation more generally; and he only agreed to invade Westeros once his property was threatened, rather than out of any respect for Dany’s desires or ambitions.
Drogo cared about Dany as a status symbol, sexual partner, and future mother of his children. He cared about a single facet of her personality, the part that excels in enduring and adapting, and could make of herself an acceptable khaleesi. Drogo did not care about Dany as a full person, who came from a difficult background where her primary abuser was also her only family, who wanted things other than to be a khaleesi, and who experienced a great deal of pain and weaker-feeling moments over the course of her short life.
If he only loves her when she’s being strong, he doesn’t really love her.
They introduced a female character as a victim of slavery and rape, had her gain power and harness magic and still have a good, caring heart, slowly allowed her to gain influence based on a genuinely good cause, and are going to end her like this. Mad and suffocated by hatred, her fire dying out in the shadow of a man’s. These writers can get fucked.
Fuck D&D. they are the real Mad Kings
I am not the frightened girl you met in Pentos. I have counted only fifteen name days, true … but I am as old as the crones in the dosh khaleen and as young as my dragons, Jorah. I have borne a child, burned a khal, and crossed the red waste and the Dothraki sea. Mine is the blood of the dragon. (Daenerys II, A Clash of Kings)
