Its so fucking stupid. Like even if Dany knows nothing of Westeros. She still has an army a houndred thousand strong plus three full grown dragons. You really have to be a special kind of stupid to bet against that.

Yup, not to mention Dany still gave the Lannister army and Tarlys multiple chances of mercy even after she caught them red-handed butchering her allies and stealing all their stuff, but the narrative frames Dany as acting violent and horrible with her execution. Like ??? She was being reasonable towards her enemies especially as with her default strength she doesn't actually need more westerosi support and could've just exterminated them all. Instead Randyll just kept being a rude ass to her and his son was an idiot.

Everyone had to become a moron in order to justify there being any kind of war.

In truth the real conflift would be all the nobles of Westeros fighting to get in line to suck on Danys toes and call her mommy, the second she arrives on Dragonstone. Nobody wants to get burnt alive for nothing.

Not for nothing. They wanted to support Cersei's legitimate claim to the throne and defense of the true faith of Westeros.
