I'm not going to diagram it, but if you walk down the street and pass a bush, someone hidden behind the bush can throw a rock at you as soon as you pass the bush. The ocean isn't one dimension.

That would work if they were firing catapults, not ballistae, and if you’re blind firing like that (especially that close to a tall island), you need a spotter and ranging shots because the shot trajectory is going to be arcing down, not ripping in flat.

At a certain point, you're failing to accept a level of suspension of disbelief that even the earlier, better received, seasons demanded of their audience. I say this as someone who once tried to calculate the calorie intake needed for a dragon to generate those BTUs.

No. I’m talking about shitty writing, because there were multiple ways to kill the dragon as a plot point while having it make sense in that universe, but that’s not what they did. I’ll list some.

Dany could have spotted the fleet from the air (which is what actually happens when you’re in the air), decided to attack it on her own to show them who’s boss (and demonstrate her growing lack of control), then Rhaegal gets hit by a lucky shot as they come skimming in low.

Euron could have come up under cover of fog, sent out a decoy ship to be deliberately spotted and flamed, which reveals the dragons to his other ships lying in wait further away, they fill the air with a salvo of shots and land a few (also establishes him as a tactician).

Dany and Jon could have had a brief conversation on whether or not Rhaegal is ready to fly yet with his wounds, Dany decides he is (again, showing her out of control), she takes them up but Rhaegal is visibly struggling, ends up having to land in the water to rest, Euron comes.

Those are three off the top of my head that both a) make sense within the established universe while advancing character development and b) don’t turn a weapon of war (the dragons) that literally kept the entire continent in line for 400 years into a goddamn joke.

It’s not like someone invented gunpowder here. Ballistae have been around in that world a long time, as have dragons. If someone could build a ballistae that operated as a railgun, they would have done it a lot earlier.

That being said, of course you're right. If everyone hates it, then the writing is subjectively bad. I just don't necessarily agree on what fits the established rules of the world.

I think the main thing is that we’ve been consistently led to believe that things that aren’t inherently magical (i.e. dragons, white walkers, Melisandre/Azhor Assai) operate strictly according to the natural rules we know, and ballistae aren’t inherently magical.

I'm saying if/when there's an exception to that rule, it comes out of Qyburn's lab.
