I kind of wish Dany had a more lighthearted personality sometimes. Watching vids of emilia clarke irl and her personality is so electric. The character just doesn't let her shine that through.

She's lovely. I'm not attracted but she's nice. Don't like the beard, though. |

I kind of wish Dany had a more lighthearted personality sometimes. This is another trick of the story-telling. Characters the authors want the audience to like get that. Tyrion the patricide, Jaime the child thrower, Bronn the ruthless cut-throat, Tormund and Ygritte the village raiders are all fan favourites because of their "good lines" or their ability to look forward to the positive side ("if we die, we die, but first we'll live" - dumbest line ever but some loved it). Daenerys doesn't because she is meant to be perceived as that tyrannical failure in the end. Since she burned the Khals, she has been shown as a threat to those the audience loves and her first and primary target (on her own side) has been that other main fan favourite Tyrion. Daenerys is being given the demanding, exclusive characteristics standard story-telling gives to villains: serious, hard to please, menacing. Tywin and Cersei are the other two examples of that while Dumbfuck Stark walked with a constant "good guy" on his forehead, no matter how stupidly destructive he acted. Lady Olenna was just as judgemental and dismissive but she did it with pleasing irony so she fell into the "good" category while murdering her way around and threatening the city with famine.

The character just doesn't let her shine that through. emilia vs dany is like night and day , i do like emilia shes beautiful and good actress in some other movies i seen her i liked how she potrayed Dany S1 even though i think now of what was to come she already started showing it but a lot of us didn't see it but after that with every passing season she was a different person , more ruthless more power hungry honestly the way dany carries on about the throne she sounds just as delusional and power hungry just like her brother viserys. Something else i remembred 1st season all dany talked about to her brother was going home nothing more but then it was all about the throne and she didnt even like her brother .

There wouldn't be that many opportunities for that to happen when she isn't being raped, enslaved, beaten, threatened, humiliated, etc. She's had a lot of tribulation in her life. I would say the closest we've come to seeing Clarke's personality is when she's acting opposite Ian Glen (Jorah). The two of them connect so well.
