This 'Game of Thrones' meme is brilliant and should be studied in any film class

A fan's reverent tweet about a very on the nose scene was turned into a meme.

Warning: The following post contains spoilers for the finale of Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones may have come to an underwhelming end, but the memes keep on giving. The film boys are out, and they have takes.

While not all fans were pumped with how the show ended, it has always been visually stunning, aside from a few wayward beverages. From the incredibly detailed costumes to the shots of sweeping landscapes, we can at least agree on one thing: Game of Thrones is beautiful. But one cinephile took to Twitter to emphasize just how amazing the one scene in the finale was.

Fresh off her murderous rampage after destroying the city she tried to liberate, Daenerys turns to face her army of Unsullied and Dothraki soldiers. As she walks toward her force, her dragon opens his wings and takes flight, and the queen appears to have dragon wings sprouting from her back, too.

We get it. Daenerys is basically a dragon, because she's the mother of dragons. It's like, super on the nose.
