Emilia Clarke on How She'd Remake Daenerys' Storyline in 'Game of Thrones' Season 8
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones' final episode.
Emilia Clarke did more than talk to The New Yorker about her fear of Beyoncé not liking her after Daenerys went Mad Queen , who was responsible for the coffee cup ended up in Game of Thrones's final cut, and what she really thought about Jon Snow killing Dany. She also addressed the fan petition going around demanding HBO for a remake of the Game of Thrones's eighth season. And unlike other cast members, she didn't bash it or really say anything positive or negative about it at all. She did, however, honestly answer a question about how she would remake season 8 for Dany if she had the opportunity.
When asked generally how she'd redo the show's final season, Clarke demurred. "Oh, my goodness. Well, I can only speak to my own character, and the people that I interact with on the show," she said. "But I would’ve loved some more scenes with me and Missandei. I would’ve loved some more scenes with me and Cersei."
"I would’ve loved some more scenes between Grey Worm and Missandei," she continued. "I would’ve loved to see a bit more between Cersei...I feel like there was...The genocide was there. That was always going to happen," she said, of Dany going Mad Queen and killing countless innocent people in King's Landing. "And I just think more dissection and those beautifully written scenes that the boys have between characters-that we are more than happy to contently sit there and watch ten minutes of two people talking, because it’s beautiful. I just wanted to see a bit more of that. But I’m in no position to critique the geniuses that have written eight seasons’ worth of wonderful stuff."
As for the last impression she wants people to have of Dany in the Mother of Dragons' final scene, she hopes they see someone vulnerable and almost innocent. "I’m hoping to see what I was saying before about Daenerys’s last images being that of kind of a hopeful, childlike love," Clarke said. "I just really want that to be the last image of her. And it absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would think anything bad of her. But I’m sure they will, and I can’t control that."
