10 Most Devastating TV Deaths Of 2019
4. Lyanna Mormont - Game Of Thrones
Speaking of the Battle of Winterfell, while we never got a satisfactory conclusion to the Night King’s story, the long, bloody scrap did not under-deliver on casualties. Although people will complain about those dying not being important enough, for some reason. One of the more popular figures to fall against the Dead was the Lady of Bear Island.
Ever since the season 6 ending, Lyanna Mormont had rapidly risen up the Game of Thrones popularity ranks. Every GOT character (and viewer) had been engrossed by her ferocity, courage and wisdom beyond her years. Even here, she refused to hide in the crypts and let men do all her fighting for her.
Her moment of immortality came when the defenders were getting battered by the Night King’s giant. While those around her were squished or fled, Lyanna stared down the monster like it was nothing and when it picked her and started crushing her with its bare hands, Lyanna used her remaining strength to drive a sword straight into its eyes, killing it.
She died soon afterwards, but not before becoming one of Westeros’ greatest ever heroes.
