Yeah I'm not understanding all the confusion about Danaerys. She has always had a streak of brutality, and has definitely been power hungry. Couple that with her seeing most of the trustworthy relationships around her perish and her main objective of taking the throne to be at its greatest point of risk, the result isn't that surprising. Her character has always been a balancing act of people's hope and tyrant. I think the whole point is that those two roles can ultimately end up being one in the same due to an unrelenting thirst for power. We've seen smaller examples of this throughout the entire series.
