Well if he re-added it. Its now an Edit War
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Furthermore, they're displaying unambiguous bias against several character, particularly Tyrion and Varys, as last seen here
, and excuse Dany's actions. Basically, bashing one character and shilling another.
They're also blatantly ignoring discussion and they keep
shoehorning heavily biased entries that attempt to excuse a Moral Event Horizon moment.
I have noted their recent edits seem to paint Varys as trying to replace Dany because of his fear of magic of all reasons. And not the fact that Varys is noting her sense of isolation and signs of meglomania. Of course, if anyone can tell if a Targyrean is showing signs of madness it would be the only member of her council to serve under one prior...
Would that include their other edits if invalid or necessary? For example the shoehorning ?

I agree with the rest, but the Ass Pull entry seemed like a valid example, regardless of troper's agenda. It is major plot point, never established before and contradictory to the show, made to justify what happens in what is more or less the climax of the show's narrative.
Specifically, the "Bells" Ass Pull entry?
Agreed, I assume it was cut by mistake because it's not even tied to the issue of Dany shilling. The writers had a problem: they needed a way to signal that the city had surrendered in an overt way so that they can have an Obligatory War Crime Scene. Their solution? Make up "the bells mean surrender!" and treat it as common knowledge even though it hadn't in the past.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Finally how is it "contridictory" to the show? While Ser Davis mentioned he did not believe it meant welcome to a new King , Varys mentioned it had multiple meanings. It's possible it had more meanings then spoken at the time until Tyrion mentioned it meant "surrender". As for the "shilling" part the original poster was trying to point Danys slaughter of the citizens as a cold pragmatic move. The ass pull comment basically was complaining it was a BS move to make Dany look bad for slaughtering surrendering citizens. Which is why I asked permission from mods to revert.
Edited by TuvokAlso, there's a thread on Ass Pull
on the episode's discussion page. That's the real place to have that particular discussion.

The troper Revolutionary_Jack re-added an example to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fridge/GameOfThronesS8E5TheBells
. The example stated that Danerys rampage was not a rampage but a cold, pragmatic military move on her part. I remove it as it has been confirmed by https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordOfGod
that it was not a planned move, or a tactical one but a spontaneous one. Which one could tell by the look of frustration and anger on her face. This has been verified multiple times including https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/13/18617844/game-of-thrones-got-season-8-hbo-final-the-bells-daenerys-targaryen-kings-landing-massacre-recap
. Which is why I originally removed it. The fridge moment was disproven by what actually happened .
It was added with the reasoning in the example:
While the showrunners have claimed that Daenerys' actions were totally spontaneous, some of her speeches and actions that we see before the attack (such as her saying "let it be fear" to Jon, and telling Tyrion that her mercy is to "future generation", while also talking cryptically to Grey Worm about a signal) show a certain amount of pre-meditated calculation on her part, i.e. while the decision to act on it might have been made late, she did contemplate and think about the ramifications. On a certain level, Daenerys' actions have a Tywin-esque cold-blooded logic to it since it achieves the eradication and neutralization of all her external (Cersei, Euron, the Golden Company) and internal threats (Jon Snow, Sansa, Tyrion):
Normally I would contest this in discussion. But besides being a possible edit war the fact remains it was re-added on a fridge page. A fridge page is “ the real purpose behind the plot”. The real purpose has been stated by those responsible behind the show. While it is possible to guess to why she acted why she did. That’s what WMG is for. The re-adding seems like an attempt to change what was a temper tantrum and ascent into madness into some sort of brilliant and brutal tactical move. Reversion needed?
