[@SexiSchnitzel]

Yeah! Jaime should have killed her

[@made-line7627]

She should've gone out swinging. The city should have been captured, she should have been put on trial, and before being sentenced to death, she should have had an epic speech as Tyrion did. Dany killing her by dragonfire may have added more realistic tension between everyone, too.

[@claire3614]

Why are you talking about, the brick that killed her was the best part of this anticlimactic ending! World best prank on an entire fandom! They totally reverted our expectation of having payoff with Cersei! BravA!!

[@stefthomson3538]

She deserved a better death. Or even better end up being queen. Loved her!

[@Mom-Bob]

I actually didn't mind it. They came into the world together and went out together. Certainly deserved to suffer yes.. but to see the slow realization that she her brother best friend and lover and their unborn child were doomed and that the witch was right was pretty satisfying. I mostly liked it bc of jaimes quote when he says he wanted to die in the arms of the woman he loves.

[@Xth3Z]

You know, Ned Stark was a major character in the show as well? Even if he lasted just one season, his death was probably the one with the most impact overall. And at that time in the show, his death was a real shocker.

I actually think Margaery is ranked far too low on this list. She was a fan favorite character ( certainly my favorite) and it certainly hurt to see her go, but her storyline came to its natural conclusion. Her arc was entirely to serve as a foil for Cersei and as her competitor for influence over Cersei’s children, which she did perfectly. But when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die, and there was no way both her and Cersei could remain in competition forever. At the time of her death, both were on the cusp of achieving victory over the other, Margaery by having Cersei tried and stripped of her power and Cersei by...ya know...blowing up the Sept. It was a do or die situation for both of them, but just because Cersei was the victor doesn’t mean Margaery’s story didn’t end satisfactorily.

I’ve never seen a show drop out of pop culture faster than this show. Just goes to show you that if you treat your audience like idiots and force feed them a half assed story just because you think you have built some sort of good will with them, you will only be remembered for your failures and shortcomings.

[@xpertrex5991]

@@anthonymerino4689 they didn’t do it properly

[@tiger7892]

IMO, i don't think how the show ended is the problem, it's how quickly it happened. In a show built on characterization where you grow to love characters through their quirks and funny musings that happen while traveling to places, the speed of the last two seasons doesn't match the pace set previously by the show. People are literally teleporting around and everything is just too rushed. The last two seasons could've easily been spread out over 3-4.

[@nickolausafon5458]

... The show revealed characters we love can have great stories and still die suddenly or miserably. It was the whole lesson on the story. And we shouldn’t expect different for the end. It died as it went, no surprise. Why did so many hold such false expectations!?

[@OminousBlast]

overall the season and plots were way too rushed. There were no emotions. There were a lot of abandoned plots and unanswered questions.

[@cockycookie1]

Bran becoming king would be ridiculous either way. Jon's end made no sense either, Drogon should've grilled him and if that didn't happen, he should've been king. And if they absolutely HAD to exile him, they should've done the same with Tyrion.

[@MotRekrab1347]

@@nickolausafon5458 I don't think anyone would have minded if the characters died. As you say, the show goes out of its way to demonstrate how, at any time, these stories can be cut short. The issue I and a lot of others have is that this style of storytelling, the kind the show was built on, ended up getting replaced in a way that intelligence was replaced with plot armour and teleporters. The show could easily have gone on at least a few more seasons (in my mind, the Long Night should have _been_ a full season!), but D&D, in an effort to 'wrap things up' and move onto their Star Wars project (which got scrapped anyway), decided to end it in the least satisfying way possible. Seriously, it's like they just fast-forwarded through so much of the story (Dany's descent into madness) or just decided to shuffle characters around to make things go faster or to 'divert expectations' (Arya killing the Night King)

[@thecounselingcouch68]

I agree with you with the teleporting about to speed up the ending. I am convinced that everyone hated the ending of this show because it didn't end how everyone wanted it to end.

Petyr Baelish's death was one of the most unsatisfying deaths in the series.

This is a man who claims to think about every possible scenario to every possible situation. Under the given circumstances, his death was a certainty and yet, being the smartest character in the show, it was massive surprise to him. He died a disappointing death at the hands of characters with not even half his intellect, in a farcical trial. He didn't make any attempt to defend himself either.

Didn't we agree to never talk about that show again?

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Daenerys Targaryen had the worst character ending. Dany going psychotic and killing innocent people wasn't right for the character and it ruined her and destroyed her character arc and her death at the hands of idiot Jon Snow really killed GOT for me. Worst - Ending - EVER! Dany deserved a better ending.

[@_nishan_das]

Earlier we had villain endings like Joffrey Baratheon & Tywin Lannister Now we have endings like Cersi, Euron & The f**** Night king

[@dhrubajyotimalik2184]

Well, you forgot Joffery(the most hated character)

[@auz871]

I think Littlefinger deserves to be way lower. His death was so out of character. He would never have died because of Sansa and Arya.

[@DraQinn]

If you really believe that Daenerys' descent into madness was sudden then you missed all the smaller details through the seasons that gave it away, and if Jon were there the whole time then it wouldn't have taken him so long to see it. Tyrion & Varrys see it sooner because they'd been studying human behavior their whole lives.

[@xpertrex5991]

It was incredibly sudden lol. The mad queen angle is extremely interesting and I think the author might go in that direction, but in the show, it was not pulled off well at all.

[@DraQinn]

@@xpertrex5991 Sansa saw it too, if people didn't see the clues they either missed them or didn't want to see them.

[@oliviamoore2151]

@@xpertrex5991 I agree with @jason rowlette, some of the things she did even if they were done to bad people showed that she was cruel. she was obsessed with getting the iron throne even know she was a baby when she lost it. she had so much power and love in Marine where she should of stayed. The hate she received in Westeros’s and the jealousy she had towards John pushed her over the edge even before kings landing and considering she lost everyone she really loved prior to the flight in kings landing. So in’s saying she didn’t go mad out of no where, It was build up over time, you just have to look deeper at the things she did in previous seasons. A good example was when she crucified all the wealthy in one of the city’s to prove a point to show no mercy, that’s in season 4 or 5 I’m pretty sure.

[@Trix897]

I was seeing hints as early as Season 2. By the first episode of Season 8, I already knew she was going to go crazy and do something insane.

She beats him in her own death scene 😂😂😂 could anyone other than rigg have pulled off ollena tyrell ?

[@dra2521]

The reason the ending was so bad is it took nearly everyone's character development, drive, purpose, contribution, and then said "nah fuck that" and just objectively left the entire show utterly pointless.

[@Smenkhaare]

A Rian Johnson special of "subverting expectations"... I guess they see that does not work with a sophisticated audience.

[@dra2521]

@@Smenkhaare subverting expectations is a very sophisticated tactic of film making. When done correctly. They just didn't do it correctly.

[@Smenkhaare]

@@dra2521 I read you and agree. When it is done well. Also the Star Wars sequels and the ending of Battlestar Galactica did it very poorly.

[@garypipe1770]

Ending Best to Worst: 1. Ramsey Bolton - Superb character work and fitting ending. 2. Hodor - Really good work and good end. 3. Margaery Tyrell - Made sense for the story as a whole and done great job. 4. Olenna Tyrell - Great character that died the right way. 5. Brienne of Tarth - One character arc that was well respected and a fitting end. 6. Samwell Tarley - Same as Brienne, fitting end for a character. 7. Missandei - Good end that would have paid off if the build was slower and better. 8. Theon Greyjoy - Good redemption arc and fitting end but The Night King story ended poorly. 9. Jorah Mormont - Same as Theon, ending made sense but the story was poor. 10. Tormund Giantsbane - Good character and his survival did make sense. 11. The Hound - The epic ending weren't too bad but think it could have been better. 12. Sansa Stark - Taking the North for herself did make some sense and did go inline with the character growth. 13. Littlefinger - Needed to die but just didn't seem to really do the character justice. 14. Arya Stark - Riding into the next journey did make sense but character build up over last few seasons was bad. 15. Bran Stark - Did actually make sense becoming King but rather than letting the story take you there it was just thrust upon you. 16. Daenerys - Same as Bran, story did make sense but but not enough build up so it was executed terribly. 17. Jon Snow - Story arc just ended so poorly and before that was really bad. 18. Tyrion Lannister - Story was awful after killing his father and ending just felt bad. 19. Cersei Lannister - Deserved to die but ending made absolutely no sense. 20. The Night King - God awful, massive missed opportunity after all that build up. 21. Jamie Lannister - After all the great character build and his arc his ending felt lazy and downright disgusting. 22. Varys - The worst end, was an incredibly complex character that was treated like an after thought.

[@ronlackey2689]

Dang, it never crossed my mind that Hodor became a white walker. I mean, it never said so, but all dead people become walkers, right?

[@thecman26]

The death of Missandei literally sealed Kings Landings fate! Dracarys, engage!

[@jld593]

Is "GOT" considered a character? If so, Benioff and Weiss slowly impailed it for 8 episodes. Brutal way to go: death by hackery.

[@aaronburrell3729]

After the books are complete, the tale will be retold with new actors. Give it 25 years or so.

[@sifa8180]

But jon going back to the north just feels like a retelling of the very beginning it's not right its like if he does anything bad he just goes back to wall it's not smart for his ending either even if he doesn't feel right

[@aaronburrell3729]

He becomes Mance, but better. King of the far north. The Starks rule all lands now.

[@KingMarkus222]

Season 8 just makes me want to squeeze my head like the mountain did oberan

[@originalgal76]

Jaime's was by far the worst

[@JaviusSama]

Varys and Littlefinger's deaths are the worst of all the series because of how insultingly stupid they had to make them as Benioff and Weiss couldn't handle characters THAT smart without Martin's writing.

[@trpetty6887]

The show may be over, but the story is not. I hope some of the fans of the show are reading the books.

[@bjhellstream]

Many storylines are cut short... that's what's great about the show. The Red Wedding is the greatest twist ever.

Preeaach! You're absolutely right.

[@rodeliomontecillo3438]

Theon greyjoy voluntary and defending bran to the last was a great scene

[@lindaname9413]

I firmly believe that Danerys was not mad. She just gave King's landing what they deserved. Horrid place.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

Missandei’s death was just stupid and the total waste of life that Cersei would have never done. She was smarter than than throughout the series, always using any information on her best advantage. We’re not told how she learned that Missandei was Dany’s closest friend and advisor and we don’t know if she knew Missandei was also her top general’s significant other? If she did, then her order was even dumber. If she had Missandei there on the balcony she stood on for the last three seasons, she would have known that she was safe from Dany’s attack. We saw how smart and diabolical Cersei used the information about the wildfire beneath King’s Landing.

[@tryceniaupshaw4282]

The saddest death was Shireen being burned alive.

[@Kobrabiss]

I feel like they wanted to explain Daenerys' madness in comparison to the Mad Kings madness, but the Mad Kings madness didnt come from him just turning mad, as even the show itself explained.

[@cleverusername9369]

The narration sounds much more natural at 1.25x

[@valkeery1216]

why wasnt Jon Snow here they killed his character in this show, even if he is still alive at the end of the final episode

[@kaileechartrand6684]

I already disagree in that I truly think Dany had the worst ending. The lack of build up towards her madness was so frustrating

[@aaronburrell3729]

She didn’t really go mad and that was the point, to leave everyone questioning Jon’s actions as to whether or not there were right or wrong. Some will say he had no choice and some will say she wasn’t mad at all and only getting justice for her dragon and Misandei.

[@derekwork6749]

because season 8 was supposed to be all night king and HBO green lit season 9 but dan and dave wanted to rush of and work on star wars and they got fired from it

Are you KIDDING? The buildup started in Season 2 when she arrived in Qarth!

[@kaileechartrand6684]

@@Trix897 I get where you're coming from but I just didn't feel like the series truly did it any justice so it almost felt out of nowhere. In the novels she starts hallucinating and muttering to herself just as her father did. In the show it seems like she makes the decision to burn kings landing in the moment as opposed to TRUE insanity. It was disappointing and felt there could've been more suspense built up.

[@tylerstevens1904]

How Ned Stark and Tywin Lannister aren't on this list is beyond me. Or anyone from the Red Wedding, for that matter. Seems like the only characters here are those you could get footage for.

[@jay_ooh]

And as far as Jaime's death goes people keep going on and on about how his arc was wasted Don't they realize That cersei was his addiction. . The queen of Thorns said it to him Right before he gave her the poison she's a disease she's going to be the end of him She just called it right out right there Of course he's going to go back to her because it's his addiction and sometimes in life when you have an addiction and beat it... You relapse!

[@saaraa7876]

The Cersei part isn’t even the worst part of Jaime’s ending, that goes to “I never really cared about the innocent” or whatever that line was. Jaime forgave Cersei so much on the show it was kind of obvious he’d go back to her. D&D seemed to love Jaime and Cersei together.
