The 'Dany Kind of Forgot About the Iron Fleet' meme originated from a behind-the-scenes interview with showrunner David Benioff following the Game of Thrones episode 'The Last of the Starks.' While explaining how Euron Greyjoy's fleet managed to ambush Daenerys and kill her dragon Rhaegal, Benioff commented that she 'kind of forgot' about her enemies, despite the fleet being discussed as a major threat earlier in the episode. Fans immediately turned the quote into a viral sensation to criticize the final season's writing. Today, the meme is widely used to mock convenient plot armor, illogical character decisions, or any situation where someone overlooks a glaringly obvious problem.
