To me it just tarnishes the world by insinuating that everyone is an incompetent military commander. Jeez, sure would have been useful to have those dragons at Casterly Rock to annihilate Euron's fleet. Why did Dany hold them back? Why was it not blindingly obvious that Cersei would march on Highgarden? To what, WHAT, strategic value does Casterly Rock have to Danaerys have besides provoking Cersei? The unsullied are her best troops, why dispatch them to the other side of the continent for a vanity attack? How is Euron Greyjoy seemingly everywhere in Westeros? How did Varys, lord of the spies, not receive word that the Lannisters were marching on Highgarden? It's a huge army? How did he not receive world that Randyll Tarly was mustering?
Just idiotic writing.
And the best is yet to come, apparently, nobody has thought of using a ballista to kill a dragon before. That's the worst, more telegraphed foreshadowing of what's to come. A dragon dies from a stupid oversized crossbow.
