Which Game of Thrones character do you think got the best ending?

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.

Cersei’s death was SO trash!!!

The ending wasn't controversial. It was legitimately terrible. I didn't have a specific ending in mind. I just wanted the writers to do right by the characters.

Viserion's death --> devastating, shocking, yet still in the realm of believable Rhaegal's death --> illogical and utterly disrespectful

Hodor's death will always be the most emotional moment in the series.

It was a great ending to dumb & dumber's career

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.

Jorah died protecting his Queen. Poor Jaime died trying to help his sister escape. Jaime deserved a more honorable death.

Greatest show ever ruined by 3 awful episodes.

So basically every ending not written by GRRM were terrible and made no sense

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. Looking at you Weiss and Benioff.

Daenerys, killing all those innocent people was WAAAY out of her character. Her anger would've caused her to fly directly to Cersei's tower and blow it up, instead of burning the people.

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.

Did you skip Rob & Catelyn Stark? Honestly, I would not even know whether the red wedding should be ranked as "worst" (because it was awful) or "best" (in terms of unexpected plot twist that led the series to a whole new path)...

The most disappointing death is Rhaegal. It died becuz somehow Danny forgot about Euron's fleet.

I’m so glad DnD have been essentially black listed and keep getting fired from new projects. They ruined what COULD HAVE been the greatest show EVER.

The ending reminds me of real life: It makes little sense and someone vastly unqualified ends up in charge.

Aryra should have killed Cercie. Jon should have killed the knight king.

Yeah , the ending of the show was kinda disappointing , but still enjoyed the show overall .

Arya's story of exploring could make it's own series.

that 30 second sequence from hold the door to hodor still give ne chills

I like to think that Olena made herself vomit the poison back up or was immune to it.

Before watching, I'm assuming that the sooner a character died the better ending they had, on account of that train wreck of a final season

The scene of Hodoor establishing his name for the remainder of his days is the most heart breaking scene I’ve ever seen on television. It still makes me well up seeing the clip on this video

Best Death? My man Sandor Clegane. Every one talks about Jaime's growth over the seasons but The Hound was a complete evolution. Still brutal but we saw so much underneath. We saw him actually develop a devotion and find purpose outside his revenge. I would've loved to see him live, heading west with Arya or heading north as Sansa's Queens Guard. It seemed only fitting he be that Father-esque figure but I was thrilled to see his original plotline (revenge on the Mountain) come full circle.

How are Geoffrey and Pedro Pascal's characters not anywhere to be found on this list...?

The Hound was my favorite. He found redemption, honor, and in revenge found sacrifice.

They never really explained The Night King. Why did he only turn boys. He can’t talk? I felt so cheated. We all know Jon Snow should have killed him

Oberyn Martell didn't make the list ?!!!!

What is dead may never die All are favourite game of thrones characters 🥺

Natalie Dormer is still my Queen 👑

Jamie is one of my favorite characters And his ending was so disappointing

Shireen Baratheon was the best, sweetest person on the show that also had the most horrific ending.

Thanks for reminding me of the frustration with the GOT ending.

This is a GREAT analysis of these characters and their Journeys and endings

Tywin had a very interesting and emotionally heavy ending

Hodor's death was imo the best ,the fact that one sentence defined his entire life and his tragic end and sacrifice for his friends make it the best and most touching ending.

Worst would have 2 be Daenerys Targaryen period. Once Missandei said Dracarys we all knew it was on.

I think the poorest death has to be Osha. Her character had so much potential, and everyone who knew what she did for the Stark boys is now dead, except for Bran.

I really don't feel Missandei's last word would be something meant to encourage Daenerys to lay waste to King's Landing, killing innocent people. The writers said she was telling Dany to "Light them up." Does that seem like something she would say when you think of who she was? They assassinated EVERY character.

Olenna tyrell’s death was badass

I really cried with HODOR huhu 🥺🥺🥺

And can someone tell me why Brienne, Miss Oath Keeper, stayed in King's Landing to serve Bran when she was pledged to Sansa for life & forbidden by Oath from leaving her service?

Varrys kept his oath to the realm to the end. He's one of the biggest heroes here

Why are Joffrey and Tommen Baratheon omitted from this? Joffrey's murder was epic, and Tommen's suicide was heartbreaking.

I had to give you a thumbs down for a death you didn't even cover, the most satisfying death of the entire show, the death of Joffry (sp)

The ending of Cersei was THE WORST!

Hodor death was the most emotional death ever

Pedro Pascal's death was brutal

I can never see the young Hodor fell and not shed a tear 😢

Petyr Baelish's death was one of the most unsatisfying deaths in the series. He loitered around Winterfell achieving nothing significant whilst being surrounded by people who either made no secret that they don't trust him, or showed signs that they knew what he was up to. 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. He did the stupidest thing he could have possibly done in that situation, appealing to Sansa even though he was aware of all the harm he caused her in previous seasons.

Meera Reed's arc also earn a spot for being one of the worst there is. She is wasted in season 7 where she departed Bran after spending years protecting him north of the wall. She deserves a better ending.

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

The hounds ending was more meaningful than entire season 8

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

Well, you forgot Joffery(the most hated character)

Jaime's was by far the worst

In books Stannis Baratheon was alive even after losing the battle against bolton an I don't know why the hell did the show planners decided to end Stannis' story

It should've ended with The Night King killing everyone.

The writers of GoT really should've taken notes of Azula from ATLA. That's how you portray a very strong, complex, and powerful character being driven towards insanity.

I thought the death of Melissandre was terribly underwhelming. In the middle of a night full of terrors and flames (the very things she thrives on), she just decides she's done and removes her necklace, which causes her to die, even when it didn't when she was taking a bath (and didn't even reveal her true ancient self). Terrible.

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.

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

I like surprises. Also I love your videos 🙂

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

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

Missandei would be quickly welcomed into my camp too. This show did indeed cast some rare beauties. I would like to say that Missandei is the winner of the G.O.T beauty contest but she is tied. The others are Talisa Stark and Tyene Sand. I suspect that Osha would clean up well if given the chance. Lastly, I would like to have a crack at Old Nan back in her day.

I am pretty sure that after the battle of the bastards the writers sat down, looked at eachother and went “now what?”. They lead the story to a place where it was impossible to craft out a good ending in 2 seasons. They had been hyping up Dany, the night king and Cersei for 6 seasons, and if it took 6 seasons to hype them up it couldn’t have possibly ended in 2 seasons.

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.

Very good list.

Honestly, I’m just glad that Jorah died before he had a chance to see what Dani had become.

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

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

D&D should have consulted Vince Gilligan how to end a show

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?

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

Hodor's death is unmatched due to how it was so well written into the story.

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

Would love a series about Arya's adventures!

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.

Season 7 and 8 are a waste of time, I still had hope that the books turns everything around. Specially for Daenerys, her family and other characters like Jamie and Cersei.

I thought the de facto death of the book series the most tragic

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.

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

The worst ending in TV history

Jorahs ending was one of the best

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

The narration sounds much more natural at 1.25x

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!

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.

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.

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.

Melisandre had the best ending that character could have PERIOD

hodor was the saddest and to this day i get emotional seeing it 😓

This guy clearly reading off a script with no emotion 😑

Arya Stark and Jhon Snow is my favourite characters in the whole story.

RickON

Seeking Hodor again makes me sad. I was crying so hard 😭

You know you forgot about Stannis, Robert, and Renly Baratheon’s deaths, as well as Tywin Lannister’s death.
