When Selmy tried the first time she was too angry at the Masters to listen, the second time she did listen, and he died right after.

Daario wants her to slaughter everyone b/c she can, Missandei & Greyworm won't object b/c she's inflicting her cruelty on horrible people. She would not have been able to tell the difference between ruling and her own whims (again) if Tyrion wasn't there. E.g. She was going to destroy 3 cities for attacking her but Tyrion reminded her having the power to do something doesn't mean she should, and those cities contain innocent and powerless people. She's fine for now, at the least. But Aerys also began his reign full of promise, then slowly devolved into madness as the years went by. The same could happen to her, in time.
