and none of them are Jamie or Cersei Lannister, as far as cast status goes. Who cares if those third tier characters are killed off screen?
...and there's no question that if Brienne of Tarth is swinging a sword toward your undefended head with intent to keep an oath, then there's a 100% chance you will be dead.
But now I'm sure they're dead, when I consider the perfectly fitting scenario of them dying in each other's arms. It's an ending that makes sense for both of them. I would have liked to have seen an ugly Cersei death where she's screaming for her life as Drogon eats her...but I'm ok with the respectful, poetic death they chose.
I'm not even sure of how I would picture Jamie dying. Now that I think about it, this is the only time I've ever thought about what I would have written as opposed to what I got. If I don't like an ending to a show or a character's death, I try to accept it and see if it makes sense later, not wish it was done differently. I see lot of people criticizing the Arya/Night King thing when it's perfectly plausible for Arya to have the best shot at getting close enough to the Night King to kill him. Who else could do it? It wasn't even like I had to think about it. Before she hit the ground I thought she's the most badass, stealthy killer in the land, so it makes sense.
But all those butthurt manboys felt threatened that Jon Snow didn't do it, so they cried about it.
