I am making this to advocate removing Daenerys Targaryen from the Villains Wiki list on the grounds that she's an Anti-Hero and not a villain. A ruthless Anti-Hero to be sure, but so is Judge Dredd, and he was removed from this wiki. Hulk has done terrible things, and he was removed from this wiki. Elektra from Marvel (who I believe should be re-added), murdered people as an Assassin, and where is she on this wiki?

As to Danerys mercilessly killing bad guys or executing criminals, ask yourself: is that really any different from the actions of straight heroes? As she points out, Jon Snow killed thousands of men when he took back Winterfell from the Boltons. Why is he not listed here as a villain? Because his victims were villains and he was in the right. Well, her liberating slaves and killing sadistic, child-crucifying slave owners seems no different to me. Similarly, how is her executing criminals and people like the villainous Randyl Tarly, any more the mark of an evil villain than Ned Stark beheading a deserter? A man who's list of bad acts is non-existent compared to the people Daenerys has killed. She also takes no pleasure in what she does, making her being listed as a "sadist" patently ridiculous.

As to her invasion of Westeros, consider that so far, she has committed no war crimes, whereas her opponent is a power-hungry sociopath who just last season committed mass murder of innocents, sacrelige, and kinslaying all at once. Wanting to overthrow someone as vile as Cersei and make Westeros a better place hardly seems like villain material to me, especially when (again), Daenerys has gone out of her way to avoid killing innocent people (hence why she uses her Dragons sparingly).

Long story short, Daenerys should be removed from the Villains Wiki with all speed. She's a Lawful Neutral Anti-Hero, not a villain. Not even an antagonist.
