Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best
45. Daenerys Targaryan
Death: Killed by Jon Snow after her sack of King's Landing.
In fairness, Daenerys' actual death scene was passable. It was the build-up to it that was such a huge problem.
Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington acted out her death scene very well and Drogon carrying her body away was a moving scene, but Daenerys' season eight story was, in general, a colossal mess.
Daenerys abruptly turned into a maniac with no build-up and murdered thousands of innocent King's Landing citizens; not only was this rushed and contrived, but it really let down a great character.
Daenerys worked so well because she was good and decent in spite of being a conqueror, so to suddenly make her a villain was hopelessly misjudged. After all, there was already a mad queen in town, Cersei Lannister, and what did they have her doing? Crying and giving up before being killed by a ceiling collapse.
Poor Daenerys. She was, aside from Cersei and Jaime, the character who was screwed over the most by season eight.
