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.

Yup, there is nothing more game of thrones, than the way this played out in complete and utter destruction. There's no winners or losers in the game of thrones. The series in itself was meant to be a slow burn and it is no surprise, after 8 seasons, that all hell finally broke loose.
At some point there needs to be a culmination of events and that was that Dany was slowly building to this complete meltdown that has always been just under the surface and followed her and her family for years. She's now completely alone, these people in Kings landing wiped her family off the face of the earth and she's supposed to play nice? After seeing so many tyrants say one thing and do another? After giving people chance after chance to redeem themselves? I wouldn't buy it if this turned out any differently than it did.
