The Most Disappointing Deaths on Game of Thrones Season 8
Why Have All the Big Deaths in Game of Thrones Season 8 Been So Damn Disappointing?

Say what you want about the Red Woman, but she had a destiny at the Battle of Winterfell and she sure as hell fulfilled it. After all, she's the one who inspired Arya to kill the Night King (hell yeah!) and using her powers to spark a firewall that temporarily keeps the undead at bay. She definitely pulled her weight, despite her sketchy past! But when her destiny is seemingly fulfilled, she walks off into the early morning light shedding her cloak and her magic necklace — thereby shedding her youth — where she collapses and dies in front of Davos.
As a witch who has been alive for um, ever, and who also has been responsible for some seriously brutal moments throughout the series (RIP Shireen), this was a pretty sudden and anticlimactic way for her to go. Also, remember her whole obsession with Jon being the reincarnation of Azor Ahai? Did the writers just forget about that whole storyline before killing her off, or . . .?
