Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best

52. Jaime Lannister/Cersei Lannister

Death: Crushed by rubble. Yes, really.

When it comes to the worst TV deaths ever, the painfully bad ending for Jaime (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau) and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) is definitely up there. This is the worst Game of Thrones death by quite some distance.

Jaime didn't get the redemption arc that he so badly deserved and he ended up back with the sister/lover he'd finally turned his back on in season seven. Meanwhile, Cersei spent all of season eight doing virtually nothing before dying without facing any sort of justice or closure and without even putting up a fight.

The pair of them deserved to go down in style and they sure as hell shouldn't have been killed by a bloody ceiling collapse of all things. Also, that scene in the next episode where Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) found their bodies was a major plot hole - they were somehow still intact and somehow Tyrion knew exactly where they'd died.

The ideal ending would've been Jaime killing Cersei to stop her massacring the citizens of King's Landing. That seemed to be where their stories were always headed after all. Still, ANYTHING would have been better than this.
