Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best

43. Melisandre

Death: Committed suicide after the Night King was defeated.

Walking out into the snow, reverting to her elderly form and committing suicide, thus finding peace at last, was probably the right way for Melisandre (Carice van Houten) to go.

The trouble was that her season eight arc in general was awful. She didn't really do anything in the Battle of Winterfell aside from light some swords on fire and give Arya a vague hint to go and kill the Night King, even though she'd always implied so strongly someone else would do that. Therefore, this ending wasn't as powerful as it should've been.
