-I think you misunderstood the point I was trying to make. It's not about who'll be the better Queen, I was saying that starting another war, especially in Westoros' current state, is far more destructive and will lead to a far bigger civilian body count than Cersei's Sept bombing. Tyrion suggests that by staying in Essos she could do more good than conquering Westeros and she simply responds with "It's my home". It's just a funny feat of mental gymnastics to call someone evil for letting 50-100 people die to ensure her survival and position of influence, but sacrificing orders of magnitude more than that to conquer another Kingdom, the one you really want, is fine. Either they're both evil, or, engaged in a 'game' where immorality is required. I subscribe to the latter.
First off, Dany doesn't know all that much about the chaos that has happened in Westeros in her absense, second of all a war would end in casualties on both sides but Cersei's terrorist act wasn't one of war, there was no literal war taking place right there in the city of king's landing, it was just her killing people to stay in power. Cersei is evil, Dany is not. Maybe it's best we agree to disagree.
-So killing is ok as long as the person falls on your personal evil scale?
YES. It was satisfying as fuck to see Ramsey die. It was satisfying as fuck to see Walder Frey die. It was satisfying as fuck to see Carl Tanner die. And I'm pretty sure it's not
my personal evil scale, but a general conensus
The Tyrells were playing the Game and they lost. Period. They killed Joffrey,
Just putting it out there that I don't buy into this "game" shit and take everything that Cersei says as gospel because not everyone in the story is as power hungry as she is. Also, Joffrey deserved to fucking die.
they manipulated and used Tommen,
and how exactly was Tommen better off with his mother as an influence instead? What evidence is there to prove that the Tyrells in power would be bad for the realm?
they tried to steal 'the key to the North' Sansa away from the Lannisters,
Sansa WANTED to get away from the Lannisters, so that "stealing" is justified to me since it would've been consensual and moreover, what family clan was the one that ended up "stealing" Sansa anyway? The fucking Lannisters, who continued to ruin her life at the expense of keeping themselves in power.
and while Cersei originally empowered the High Sparrow, Margaery manipulated the situation so the Faith Militant were granted royal authority which
of course led to Jaime's dismissal from the King's Guard and Cersei being tried under ancient Sept law. No, these acts aren't evil, but they show how the Tyrells were actively plotting against the Lannisters and their interests. Again, this is the 'Great Game' and the stakes involved are clear.
The Lannisters' interests are only self interests, not concerning the welfare of anyone else and Cersei was the one who brought them into power like you said, she would not have had to deal with the faith militant if she would've just got over the fact that her son is married now and she's just losing power. She couldn't stand that.
-Cersei didn't bring Joffrey into power to revel in her psychopathic son's reign of terror, she did it to save her self and her family. Not just their lives but their position as a great house. Joffrey just happened to be first in line after Robert.
I do not believe that at all. Cersei put Joffrey in power so that she herself would continue to have power.
She knew the monster that Joffrey was, yet instrumented his spot on the Iron Throne.
