The writing may not be as sharp as it was, but it seems to be out of grasp for a solid section of fans.

The scene wasn't a huge problem for me, but surely you can understand why people are annoyed with the setup. I mean everyone who tries to kill a Dragon is a crack shot. Bronn hit a dragon, Night King hits one, second dragon is killed with ease. The ballistas destroyed a fleet in a matter of moments. Based on how events have unfolded in the show it seems like Cersei could have easily killed everyone.
I think it's poor writing to have the scene setup how it was in the first place. Perhaps the only reason for the scene was the pregnancy give away by Tyrion? We already knew Cersie is heartless, killing Missandei doesn't need to do that.
