The evil bitch that will do whatever it takes to get to the top vs the sweet girl who is faced with challenges that forces her to step up to the plate and out of her element. I mean...

This is why I hate them both. Cersei is a pretty cliche Evil Queen / Lady Macbeth type, while Daenerys is a textbook example of a Mary Sue. They're among the worst main characters in GoT, certainly the worst main female characters. I like Daenerys much more in the books, so I guess some of my distaste for her is due to Emilia Clarke's so-so performance. Cersei, on the other hand, is helped TREMENDOUSLY by Lena's portrayal, she was truly robbed at the Emmys tbqh.
While I'm personally praying for Cersei's death in S7 (and generally root for Dany), I appreciate Cersei as a character more. Daenerys' whole shtick is way overdone in fantasy (ironic and unfortunate, given GRRM probably inspired a lot of the writers who've made me sick of her).
