And here I thought the plebs of KL deserved it. They made Cersei cry.

"Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth"

It is known that Dany's bleeding heart will stop her from a direct attack on KL to avoid casualties among the commoners.
It's not a bleeding heart, it's common sense. Ruling over the dead is the Night King's prerogative.

And yet from the numerous spoilers (

) posted, it appears that Cersei's reign will last. Next season will only be about the estrangement between her and Jamie.

"Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth"

Joffrey was Robert's undisputed heir, accepted by anyone except that stupid northern dog who thought he was doing "the right thing". This was the precondition to a peaceful succession. Tywin had to intervene to clean up the mess the dogs made.
As to feeding the dogs that way, that's her feminine caring side. I wouldn't

Robert's heirs? Ho! Ho!

I thought it was Tywin's work. I never realized what successful queen Cersei is. Hail to Cersei! Ho! Ho!
brought Meereen to the brink of starvation
I musted miss this part. All I could remember is Cersei's "Keep civilian outside the wall(of Kingsland) when winter come", and "Feed extra food to dogs but not poor people". What a queen!!!

Lucky for her, unlucky for the others.
We're talking about the woman who gave Robert heirs to stabilise his reign and ensure a peaceful succession. She's way better than the well-meaning fool who brought Meereen to the brink of starvation.

Excuse me. Are we talking about the same person, Cersei Lannister?
The woman who show no mercy to civilians, adulterate with her brother, cheat his husbond by sleeping with both her bother and cousin, spoil and overprotect her children, tried killing her younger brother by misunderstanding?
Givig sparrow power is not just a mistake, but also her sin of stupidity. If Cersei was not a highborn, but only a civilian woman, stupid, cruel, disloyal, emotional, no foresight are all OK. But she is not! She is a queen then act like a queen!!!
All she did so far is absolutely "not" what a queen should do!
All I see is a wayward woman who is just lucky enough sitting in the position, "Queen". Lucky for her, unlucky for the others.

She made a mistake when she gave power to the High Sparrow but blowing the Sept was the only way she had of saving herself. She couldn't trap them anywhere, couldn't have them assassinated, could no longer wait for a better moment when fewer innocent people would die. Her trial was on and there was nothing she could do. She waited until the last moment, asked the Tyrells for help.
It was self-defense.

Sigh,
I don't hate Cersei. I feel pity for her in some level. I recognize that she is compliated more than pure evil. However, you can't whitewash her sin after all. What she did is far over than self-defense. I would still sort this character as a villain.
Sorry, my lady.

So you didn't understand the role of prophecies in this story, did you?
Long may she reign
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com:443/data.filmboards/images/upload/BxJJSJZ.jpg

There's a prophecy that says she won't make it, and that a younger and prettier queen will rise to take her place.
However, the prophecy doesn't specify whether it happens during the 7th season or the 8th.

Do not be insulting. She is the queen, the overlioness.
I'm not trying to be insulting, I'm trying to see if you have any reason to believe Cersei will make it outside wishful thinking.

"If you think this has a happy ending"
Happy for dumb audiences, that is.
"Bittersweet."
I don't see either of those implying anything about Cersei's fate. Frankly right now she's the underdog, that must be a rather ironic position for you to be in.

It won't. Cersei will survive Season 8.
What makes you say that?

We already know Dany's armada is on the way and will inevitably crush Cersei's power for good.

Am I projecting? Okay, let me put Cersei's actions into modern terms. Say the vice-president of the US was being impeached by congress and was threatened with removal from office and a jail sentence, and he dealt with the situation by putting a bomb under the capitol building. Say the explosion kills most members of both houses, a bunch of VIP spiritual leaders, staffers and innocent bystanders, as well as this vice-president's own daughter-in-law and uncle, and various other members of his extended family. Say he arranges to have various other enemies murdered at the same time. And then, say the president commits suicide as a result and the vice-president who just blew up the capitol building and murdered half the US government assumes the presidency of the US.
So, how many people do you think would believe he was the rightful president and fit to rule?

You're just extending your own feelings to everyone.
Half the population of King's Landing perceived the Sparrows as a nuisance (probably more actually).

Nothing against Cersei?
Okay, say a person who is widely rumored to be screwing a sibling blows up the biggest church in the land, along with spiritual leaders and her own relatives and in-laws. Say her last surviving son commits suicide as a result. Would you think such a person would be a great leader, deserves to rule, and has the favor of the Gods? Would you support her reign, or would you be so desperate to get rid of someone who seems to be an incarnation of immorality that you'd support anyone with a reasonable claim to the throne (and no known history of incest or killing family members)? The people of Westeros know they're going to get a warring tyrant no matter what, but I think they'd prefer one who seems wonderful and glamorous to one who's known to have committed every crime against righteousness possible.
And that's just the common people! None of the lords of Westeros support Cersei, they hate her. They'll support Dany mostly out of fear of the dragons, but because at this point they'll support any alternative to Cersei.

You mean Westeros has more armies there to keep on doing the same old, same old raping and murdering? Wow the 'people' will fall at Dany's feet. At least the Dothraki will obey her orders not to wantonly rape and kill, and well the Unsullied lack the equipment to rape and they obey her about killing innocents. It will probably be the most disciplined army in the land.
