Game Of Thrones: 20 Awesome Characters Who Were TOTALLY Screwed Over
6. The Night King
Who was The Night King? What was his connection with Bran Stark? There were so many questions about this awesome-looking and hyped-up villain that didn't get answered.
In the end, this guy was killed by Arya Stark, who somehow snuck past all of his followers and jumped out of thin air (seriously, where did she jump from?) and managed to stab him with a Dragonglass dagger. Then, just like that, he was gone.
This just didn't quite give the Night King the ending he deserved. There were too many unanswered questions, it happened too early in the final season and really, it shouldn't have been Arya who killed him since this went against all the foreshadowing from earlier seasons and didn't serve any thematic purpose.
What Should've Happened: This entire story-line should've been reworked and he should've died in the season finale. After all, weren't he and the While Walkers supposed to be the true villain of the story, not whoever was sitting on the Iron Throne?
