Because of the Ring. That's a pretty bad example.
Well, I did say Smeagol is not the example I was looking for, it's in the second paragraph of my post you quoted in case you missed it.
However, Smeagal had not touched the ring before snapping and murdering his friend. His friend was touching/holding the ring, he didn't snap.
No one seems to have an example, surely there's a fictional character who snapped and the author handled the transition better. Or better yet, let's just conclude Dany's transition from savior to murdering wacko could have been handled better and be done with it.
