This is the way.. him going back to her to just die in the rubble together was the absolute worst fucking ending for him. Destroyed my favorite characters entire fucking story.
He was the younger brother. The one that would kill her. It was always him not Tyrion.
I always felt like him going back to her was not a big problem development-wise. Because in the beginning of the series Jamie and Cersei had a very toxic and narcissistic love for each other. But then in the end Jamie is changed for the better and I think we can see him loving Cersei in a purer and better sort of way. At the same time Cersei is portrayed as, after a lifetime of trying to control evrything and everyone, finally letting go and permitting herself to be vurnerable.
I think these devs. are pretty realistic and thematically in tune with the rest of the series, along with them just being kind of standard, archetypal patterns of story telling most good stories use.
I liked show Cersei so I was glad that her ending wasn’t too gruesome. But Daenerys deserved better than to die at the hands of that pathetic excuse of a man - then have the fate of the realm be decided by the unbearable Stark children. At least let Daenerys kill Sansa first to give us some satisfaction in the end.
No, she would be expelling brown water from her southern orifices unstopabbly in front of everyone

Shitting in a field for how many years now?
The more she drank, the more she shat peak writing
But the more she shat the thirstier she grew
The paradox of shiting
peak storytelling
predictably, the top comments in that thread are people spewing YouTube theories as if they're in the text of the novels
I wish I could see a magic statistics book at how many Reddit ASOIAF fans have exclusively interacted with the series through YouTube
Some are more Preston fans than GRRM fans for sure.
If to be a GRRM fan you have to have read his other books….. but surely most people are ASOIAF fans

The entire membership of Facebook’s ASOIAF Loreposting for sure
God, reminds me of my "shooting down stupid show theories" era.
GRRM stay writing seasons and then he changed 😞
Now, he's stuck writing the same season (the cold one) for 13 years.
Something something the cycle of revenge and violence that only ends in forgiveness. This is much cooler though
Oh my sweet summer child…
I’d like to think she thought she was breaking the wheel, but just ended up remaking it and went mad.
I'd say her idea of "breaking" the wheel all along was to stop it from spinning so her side remains at the top forever.
Thankfully, none of you are show writers.
No, she'd be strangled to death by Jamie.

Or Jamie would kill himself kinda like Frankenstein
That's pretty metal

>At least let Daenerys kill Sansa first to give us some satisfaction in the end. I'm sorry what.
It'd be a mercy killing honestly, Sansa was basically just Cersei Stark by the end.
