Emilia Clarke On What She Would Change About Daenerys' Storyline In 'Game Of Thrones'

While many fans have been very vocal about their desire for Game of Thrones season eight to be "remade", Emilia Clarke, better known as the Mother of Dragons, isn't calling for a redo but rather just a slight tweak. 

Speaking to The New Yorker post-finale, Clarke revealed she would have changed Daenerys' storyline just slightly. "Oh, my goodness. Well, I can only speak to my own character, and the people that I interact with on the show," she told the publication. "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. 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."

"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 how Dany's overall story was left, Clarke admits: "I'm hoping to see what I was saying before about Daenerys's last images being that of kind of hopeful, childlike love."

"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."
