Wasn't she publicly "absolutely livid" about it very shortly after the last season came out?

Yes.
Pretty much the entire cast was.
Yup, there's a video of a table read and they all look so fucking disappointed. I mean the show started slipping in season 4, they should have swallowed their pride and hired actual writers.
I can understand. I quit watching about midway through season 5 I think.
Didn't miss anything, last seasons sucked ass, the last one was amazingly bad, like impressive even.
They didn't clear the catering from the sets.
There's a version of that working. The books had a lot of food porn. Starbucks logos on a battlefield ain't it.
I’ve never finished the show. I gave up on the last season and cannot be bothered to see it to the end.
Count yourself lucky
Is her character wildly different than the books? Cause I can't think of any other end for her character based on those.
How the fuck else was her character supposed to end? She had been steadily becoming more and more unhinged and by the time she was essentially nuking King's Landing and killing countless innocent common folks there, it was clear to me she was unfit to lead and had to be stopped. And Jon was the logically best person to make that decision and take action.
Daenyrys was very very obviously on her way to becoming the Mad Queen.
Yeah there's also a bloodline analysis that demonstrates the Targaryens are so inbred she's also more-or-less a female clone of Aerys II.
Doesn't mean she had to like the clown show that led to the conclusion.
Username checks out, hahaha
And I didn't know that particular bit of lore, interesting!
