Game Of Thrones Season 7: 7 Winners And 6 Losers

9. Team Daenerys - Loser

Game of Thrones Dragonstone Daenerys Tyrion Painted Table
HBO

Daenerys looked unbeatable heading into Season 7. She was the rightful Queen returning to her homeland, accompanied by a vast Dothraki army, thousands of Unsullied, the remaining might of great houses Martell and Tyrell (and some of the Greyjoys), expert schemers who know Westerosi politics better than most, and three huge dragons.

Over the course of the season, even with a big show of power in The Spoils of War, much of that was stripped away from her. She lost Olenna Tyrell, the Sand Snakes were brutally killed, the Greyjoys were defeated at sea, Tyrion was an idiot, Varys did nothing, the Unsullied were trapped at Casterly Rock, a dragon died, and she didn't come close to taking the Iron Throne. Given her intentions and the might to make them a reality, that's a huge loss, even if Jon Snow provides some consolation.
