The Most Disappointing Deaths on Game of Thrones Season 8
Game of Thrones: The Most Disappointing Deaths in Season 8, Ranked
Melisandre
Say what you want about the Red Woman, but she has a destiny at the Battle of Winterfell, and she sure as hell fulfills it. After all, she's the one who inspires Arya to kill the Night King (hell yeah!) and uses her powers to spark a firewall that temporarily keeps the undead at bay. She definitely pulls her weight, despite her sketchy past! But when her destiny is seemingly fulfilled, she walks off into the early morning light, shedding her cloak and her magic necklace — thereby shedding her youth — then she collapses and dies in front of Davos.
As a witch who has been alive for, um, ever and who also has been responsible for some seriously brutal moments throughout the series (RIP Shireen), this is a pretty sudden and anticlimactic way for her to go. Also, remember her whole obsession with Jon being the reincarnation of Azor Ahai? Did the writers just forget about that whole storyline before killing her off, or . . . ?
