lol wut.
You might be trolling, but I have to bite.
First of all, the books will never be written.
Second, the Dothraki charge was not only spectacularly disastrous from a tactical standpoint, but also made zero sense in terms of the larger strategy, given these are legendary horsemen. Tales of Dothraki screamers echoed through the high halls of Westerosi lords for generations. Their prestige, lore and pure value as a military asset lent to having them provide some sort of impact in Westeros, SOME payoff. This isnt even mentioning the effort it took to get them there (they are notoriously uneasy about water, and they still crossed for their khaleesi), or the logistics involved, how much build up behind it etc.
They could have had a scout party lead by the most hardened/trusted Dothraki, Mel lights their weapons, they charge in to try and see what the battle lines are like, you can have the same visual of the weapons aflame starting to be snuffed out in a wide shot and have the SAME effect. Instead lets just have them all charge to their deaths uselessly so we dont have to spend money filming/paying these guys and even up the balance of power for the battle of the Queens.
The Red Priestess death scene was fucking stupid. Why go out like that? Poorly written. And Massandei saying Dracarys? EVEN MORE FUCKING STUPID. Jesus man what the hell is wrong with you lol.
Yeah the Dothraki really didn't do shit in Westeros, did they? They fucked some Lannisters up in the "Loot Train" battle, but that victory was mostly thanks to dragon power. Dany ferried the entire Dothraki race over to Westeros and barely even got anything out of them aside from one cinematically cool but tactically cringeworthy scene.
