20 TV Characters Who Died In 2019
1. Daenerys Targaryen - Game Of Thrones
Arguably, Game Of Thrones turned out to be Danaerys' story over anyone else's. True heir to The Iron Throne, Danaerys' father Aerys II is overthrown and killed by rebel factions, and both her older brothers meet their ends in grisly fashion.
Determined to fulfill her birthright and traumatised by the deaths of so many of her allies, Danaerys descends into madness as her father had - and as Aerys II had planned to do himself, she lays waste to King's Landing atop Drogon despite Cersei Lannister's surrender. Countless innocent lives are lost in the process and she loses the support of major allies Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister.
Finally, after the massacre, Dany tries to convince Jon that this form of "liberation" is a vision of a new utopia - resulting in him stabbing her through the heart and a new elective monarchy being forged from the ruins.
All those mothers who called their newborn babies Khaleesi over the last few years must be feeling pretty stupid now...
