Top 25 Most Stupid Moments in Game of Thrones 

What was the line for # 25?

Honorable mention for Jon being a secret Targaryen the whole show, and then having zero affect on the story and no payoff whatsoever.

Lyanna Stark: "Keep him safe Ned. Noone should ever know his secret" Ned Stark: "Don't worry sis. His arc will have no consequence on the storyline"

Honorable mention: Jorah Mormont getting greyscale and not transmitting it to anyone else despite touching 99% of the characters in the show

For #22: If Gendry could row all the way from Dragonstone to King’s Landing-a roughly 350 mile distance-in treacherous waters, in a rowboat with two oars, despite never rowing a boat in his life and not knowing how to swim, then Gendry Baratheon can run all the way to the Wall in thick ass snow. Gendry is clearly the most physically fit man in Westeros.

After seeing this video, I’m so glad Tywin was killed before the writing quality got down; imagine him in Season 8 talking to Tyrion: “I’m tall and you are a dwarf lmao”

It's not just Tyrion suggesting Bran to be the king, but the fact that everyone was like "Oh yeah, the jailed dwarf we were about to execute is right."

The fact that the Night king didn't throw his spear at Drogon who is sitting right in front of him ready to take off with all his main enemies is my #1

#12 Makes me the most angry because Jaime was the only member of the king's guard to break oath to protect the people. Even someone as highly regarded as Barristen Selmy wasn't going to break oath. For Jaime to say that he never cared about the people was just absolutely ridiculous.

Originally, I didn't like how in Season 8, episode 3, there was a wight that was in almost every shot, and all it was doing was drinking beer and wearing only boxers. I later figured out that was actually my reflection in the pitch blackness of my TV.

You forgot about the white walker dragon destroying the whole wall but not being able to get to Jon when he is hiding behind a bolder

Honorable mention for Jon hiding behind a small lip of rock when the undead dragon breathed fire at him, and still survives. When Dany is on Drogon torching king's landing and exploding building on a pass by... and a concentrated breath from the undead dragon at Jon who isn't moving, is just hiding behind the small lip, the lip becomes impervious, and shields Jon not only from the blast that may explode buildings, but from the heat that would ultimately melt anything in the vicinity.

For #10 I just realized that canonically the dragons won’t go over the wall. In Fire and Blood, Queen Alysanne Targaryen tried to fly her dragon north of the wall and it refused to do it.

I personally dont think them hiding in the crypt was the issue, it was the fact that the dead were able to break out of stone tombs when previously shown they can be kept in wooden crates

The way that I can’t even go back and rewatch a show that I was obsessed with for years because of how badly it ended is so depressing.

Danny forgetting about the iron fleet was definitely one of the worst for me like she is hundreds of feet up in the air which means she can see much further than the fleet can so she should spot them long before they would be able to fire on her

I personally think it's dumb as fuck that the Night King, played by a professional stuntman and sword fight choreographer, didn't get a badass fight scene with his brand new sword prop we see on his back the entire fucking episode. Such a missed opportunity to show off Furdik's skill.

Jon Snow's lineage never being addressed definitely deserves a spot on this list

I personally love how Arya had the ability to change her face and besides using it for the Frey’s, never uses it again... So yeah, waste of skills learned by the faceless men😐

- Arya's white horse - the Golden Company being dead after a second - Bran doing nothing - The Unsullied being just angry at Jon - Bran not being the evil guy making Dany snap - Jon not being killed for regicide - Melisandre dying after lighting the swords without effect - the artillery being in front of Kingslanding - the Dothraki being ended in episode 2 and returning in episode 6 - Arya sneaking away from the walkers instead of killing everyone since she's able to kill the Night King no problemo - everyone plotting against Dany as if everyone was an idiot - Arya not being a faceless man after being stabbed to death - Littlefinger not seeing through Arya and Sansa's plot - Varys being a traitor despite the warning two episodes earlier - Jon riding the dragon without Dany suspecting anything - Jon's and Dany's terrible love story

Can we please talk about how Danny literally sent the dothraki and unsullied to fight everywhere and still by the time she took over kings landing she still had the same large hoard that she began with? I mean considering the dothraki went head first into the whites and the Unsullied are literally every where getting their heads cut off, shouldn't their be a smaller army by the end of the show? It just doesn't make sense that her army doesn't lessen in numbers at all

Rickon’s death being completely forgotten about as soon as it happened should have been on this list

Jaime's arc being butchered with only one line is just sad. He deserved more... much more.

Euron: Can they swim? Jon: No Until they have to strap on scuba gear and dive down into the lake, attaching huge chains to pull up the dragon, from under the ice.

Sam bringing up democracy and the Dothraki just running into a massive hoard and just dying were the worst bits for me.

Honorable mention: Davos telling the Unsullied to “create their own house”….😐

Shout out to the hound being one of if not the only character to stay consistent through the whole show

A stupid moment for me is when Rickon was running through the field IN A STRAIGHT LINE getting shot at by Ramsey. Rickon without a doubt would've survived if he zig zagged, but no since he didn't have a purpose in the plot why not kill him.

I could never understand how they just managed to produce all of those ships so suddenly as well. Or where they managed to find so much food too in various places.

GOT critique videos like this give me the satisfaction that season 8 failed to give me.

“Who shall we choose as king to rule us fairly and create a new dynasty?” The answer: Bran, the handicapped boy who can’t have children and who doesn’t even care about anyone on a human and humane level.

I enjoyed this. I like how you virtually left seasons 1-4 untouched because, well, they were great.

Dany not torching literally every enemy without having to waste 1 soldier is what got me. Yeah, so she can’t kill the Knight King but you can kill his forces. Every time the seasons were activated, they were unstoppable. But now you’re gonna sacrifice almost all of your infantry instead.

To me, number 1 is when Tyrion made Bran king It’s like Tywin knew this was going to happen and wanted to drown him, but couldn’t because he was a Lannister

Jon just forgot he was a Targaryen. Bran forgot Jon was the rightful king.

Another annoying character arc (or lack thereof) was of Bronn. He went from a Sellsword who would kill for the highest bidder, to becoming a friend and risking treason to set up meetings with Tyrion and Jaime and risking his life to save Jaime against a fire-breathing Dragon. And at the end he goes back to kill Tyrion and Jaime and offers to spare their lives only for Gold and Castles as if their friendship meant nothing.

While Jon Snow not being killed by Greyworm and the Unsullied still baffles me to this day, I always sort of just assumed that because Jon was a Targaryen he had some sort of special connection with the dragons and that was why Drogon didn't kill him. Not necessarily the best explanation, but it was, and is still honestly, good enough for me. Edit: Sansa is still the worst

One thing that always bugged me about the scene where Jamie charged Daenerys and Drogon was how deep the water was when he was pushed in by Bronn. They were right at the water's edge only about a foot deep, yet when he gets pushed in the water he's suddenly sinking into the Mariana Trench. Either there's a cliff 4 feet from the water's edge or Bronn super pushed him a mile from the coast.

It'll never stop being funny how it was clearly stated in the first episode that it can take WEEKS to move around Westeros, and then eventually it just turns into the size of Ireland and you can get anywhere within a day or so.

For #16 I actually liked Jaime's charge because as a member of the Kingsguard dying in combat is considered the ideal way to end your page in the White Book. "Some had been heroes, some weaklings, knaves, or cravens... The best of them overcame their flaws, did their duty, and died with their swords in their hands." In the books we see another member of the Kingsgaurd make a somewhat similar charge resulting in his death and it is speculated that he did so to end his life honorably. The part where a teleporting Bronn manages to save him is pretty dumb though.

I think an honorable mention is Sansa stating that being abused and rapped was the best thing to happen to her as it made her who she is. *BARF*

When I saw Danny going crazy, I thoughts she’s going directly to Cersei’s keep and frying her alive along with the Mountain. Instead she kills everyone EXCEPT her!

The dumbest moment in Game of Thrones was nobody finding new show runners when D&D were clearly not interested in giving GoT what it deserved.

The way they treated Littlefinger made me the maddest by far.

I liked your video, here are some moments that I think may be missing: 1. The defeat of Blackfish it was very stupid, that is, when the Freys threatened to kill Edmure in front of the castle no one said anything but a chapter later, when Edmure arrives at the castle and orders them to let him pass, all the men obey his orders and ignore Blackfish... why? I understand that Edmure is their "sir" but it is very evident that at that moment it is a trap of the Lannisters and the Freys, Blackfish himself says it but nobody pays attention to him, nobody sided with Blaskfish (the man who fought and recovered the castle). How come no soldiers in that castle realize that Edmure was going to surrender except Blackfish? they were really such idiots?. It would have made more sense for the men to accept Edmure because they wanted to surrender for fear of fighting but that's not what happened, the castle captain shows a confused face when Edmure orders to surrender, really? Why is he surprised at what was obvious? Blackfish warned him and he didn't listen, the whole scene is ridiculous. 2. Daenerys is still fighting after Drogon was attacked with the scorpion in the battle of season 7 episode 4. I mean, before Drogon is injured Daenerys has already won the battle, she can retreat to a safe place and order her army destroys that scorpion and kill Bronn, but she fights on, which only puts Drogon (and her) in danger. What's more, when Drogon dodges the scorpion for the first time, Daenerys decides the smart thing to do would be to attack Bronn head on, allowing the latter an easy shot, that was stupid, what if Daenerys falls off Drogon for the attack of the scorpion? simple, she would fall and die, literally every time she flies on a dragon she is in danger of dying because she doesn't have a chair to hold on to, one sudden movement and she could fall out of the air and die. 3. Daenerys was a fool to listen to Tyrion's advice, how did Tyrion become the hand of the Queen? he literally did nothing good in Meeren (his only good deed was release the dragons but really in the battle of Meeren Viseryon and Rhaegal could have been missing and it wouldn't have changed anything), Daenerys had to go back to Meeren and solve all the problems herself. Even Tyrion admits that he was wrong and failed. Why listen to Tyrion after that? Tyrion gave bad advice throughout season 7. Even Varys or Olenna were better options to be the hand of the Queen. Jorah could do it too, Danny just has to wait for his return. 4. Why do the North and Danny need Cersei to join the war against the Night King? Cersei no longer has an army after the battle in season 7 episode 4, Cersei herself admits that she need to hire mercenaries like the golden company to has a chace to win. Dany could have killed Cersei and taken Kings Landing by the time she got to Westeros, no one could have stopped her. In the end, Cersei was useless against the Night King, all that "we need Cersei for the battle at Winterfell" was bullshit. 5. Why does Dorne obey Ellaria and her daughters? they killed Doran Martell (the prince of Dorne) how come no one in Dorne protests against that?, I mean Dorne managed to hold against AEGON TARGARYEN and his dragons but couldn't hold against Ellaria and 3 other stupid blood killers . ...WTF????, only Olenna Tyrell dared to call Ellaria a triador because the rest of Dorne fell silent. The Dorne plot was the biggest nonsense in all of GOT in my opinion. 6. Cersei crowns herself queen............ I guess she did it because no one else stood against her, I mean, she has no right to the Iron Throne, her children also had no right because they were bastards. How can the people of King's Landing keep their cool in the face of Cersei? It's common knowledge in Westeros that Cersei destroyed the sept of Baelor, it's like destroying a holy relic for the populace but no one said or opposed Cersei for it. 7. Daenerys gains the loyalty of the Dothraki after killing their leaders, it felt weird, I mean, the Dothraki are supposed to distrust magic and wizardry and have a lot of loyalty for their leaders, the moment they saw Daenerys to leave the flames, the most logical thing would be that they kill her because she killed their leaders and she has magic but instead everyone kneels before her, I'm not saying it's impossible but it was felt that the series accelerated everything so that Daenerys could quickly return to Meeren. I think the worst thing about this point was that there started the ridiculous argument that Targaryens are immune to fire (I don't know how many people still think this is a given in the GOT universe). 8. Jon's origin is useless in the end, the only thing he managed was to create dispute and fear in Daenerys's mind but nothing else, Aegon Targaryen?, nothing mattered. 9. Daenerys and Jon's relationship feels forced, they had no chemistry and shared nothing in common other than blood. 10. Why did the Night King risk his existence in the Battle of Winterfell? Let me explain: when the Night King raised the dead at Winterfell, you could practically say he had already won the war, Daenerys was surrounded by an army of the undead, Drogon was flying with the dead hanging from his body, Jon was running like an idiot around the castle with no escape, etc. The Night King could easily have left Winterfell and let his army of the dead kill everyone, that way he doesn't have to risk his own existence, I mean, if he falls then his whole army falls too, Arya couldn't have killed him because he wouldn't be in the castle anymore, he could have left Winterfell with his generals and the main characters would have died, did he really have to kill Bran personally? Why? any undead or white walker could do it for him, if the Night King hadn't risked his very existence then he would have won the game of thrones without a doubt. 11. Benjen Stark disappeared for 6 seasons only to return at the exact moment to save Brann (and later Jon) from certain death, his return not explained in detail, his disappearance taking a backseat and the character then dying without giving no clear explanation. This is the definition of a Deus Ex Machina, Benjen was literally a plot device not once but twice. 12. The scene of the dragonpit in episode 7 season 7 was strange, that is, the place looks very small considering that according to Tyrion's story this same place housed Balerion (who was much bigger than Drogon), added to that, in season 8 episode 5 when Daenerys destroys the city, the population of King's Landing is shocked when they see Drogon, supposedly this is the first time they've seen a dragon in over a century, but there's a problem here, the Dragonpit is located in King's Landing so the population of King's Landing should have already seen Drogon (and Rhaegal) before when Daenerys and Cersei parleyed in 7x7. 13. Some scenes went overboard with fan service. Something that made the first season of GOT mythical was the death of Ned Stark (until then the "main character"), the series moved away from the typical plot where the protagonist ends up winning regardless of the obstacle, the death of Ned Stark sent the precedent that in GOT the good guys don't always win and not everyone gets what they want, the problem was that in the last seasons they ignored this by giving certain characters the opportunity to complete their mission and main objective. The biggest examples are Brienne and the Hound, it is too much of a coincidence that Stannis managed to survive so long only for Brienne to find him in all that pile of corpses and give him the final blow. The Hound on the other hand should have remained dead, as simple as that, his injuries were very serious and he could hardly have survived. Instead DyD decided to keep Stannis alive just so Brienne would be the one to kill him, and the Hound was brought back because they needed to give the fans a fight between Sandor and the Mountain. Something similar happened with Arya who achieved the revenge she always wanted against Walder Frey, however that case is a little different because Arya trained in the arts of assassination so that she could get to Walder Frey without raising suspicion. 14. Littlefinger's death was stupid, what's more, the whole Sansa vs Arya thing was stupid, Littlefinger was the smartest character in the series (if we forget the stupid decision to hand Sansa over to the Boltons), the guy was a master player and It's very evident that D&D just didn't know how to get him off the board consistently because the guy is one of those characters that not even his creator knows how to defeat. To achieve this D&D had to use the ace up their sleeve: Bran, literally the only way to beat Littlefinger was to use the character who has access to the script, it was nice to see him finally die it's true, but it was also disappointing that he was defeated so boring. 15. The final meeting at the Dragonpit was nonsense, it was obvious that Bran would be elected king, How could he not be? Almost everyone present at that meeting was his family or friends. What's more... What position does Gendry occupy in that meeting? Is he the lord of Storm's End? he was supposedly legitimized by Daenerys but the problem is that she was not queen of Westeros at the time, after seeing what she did in King's Landing it seems hard to believe that anyone would support any law or decree that comes from Daenerys. Can the people of Westeros really accept a foreign Queen legitimizing a bastard and making him Lord Paramount of the Stormlands? 16. Stannis left Dragonstone abandoned, Why? Furthermore, why didn't anyone else take control of the castle after that? Daenerys just had to arrive and open the door. It's hard to believe that someone like Stannis (at least in the books) would leave such a symbolic and well-located place abandoned.

One of the most stupid moment in Got history has to be when the white walkers pulled those gigantic chains from their asses and then diving in the frozen lake to pull the fucking dragon out. Scuba zombies, yeah fucking great writing.

Addition to point 8: It is also just incredibly stupid that you have this faction of necromancers built up for eight seasons, raising their enemies as undead servants, and you don't have this happen to a SINGLE main character. Imagine Sam, Dany, Jon, Arya or Jaime being resurrected and facing their former friends and family in combat, how impactful this would be. In season 3, we heard Osha tell that she had to fight her own husband as a wight, and this was impactful even when just told as a story. Talk about missed opportunities.

I think Bran becoming King was a bad move, but with that said I think it’s even worse when you add that Sansa decided to become Queen in the North when Bran, her brother, was becoming protector of the entire realm. Made her seem bitter and power hungry. God, that last episode. What a piece of crap ending to what was once the best show on TV.

You nailed it honestly 😂you touched on things I felt but couldn’t quite put into words as well. Great vid❤

I will NEVER get tired of your videos dragging D&D through the mud

D&D basically had no idea what they were doing. They were so obsessed with 'surprising' the audience they forgot to make it make sense. I mean if they wanted to surprise people, why didn't they have Hot Pie swoop down on a flying pig and kill the Night King before being made Master of the Kitchen?

I think you should add the scene when the hound is throwing rocks at the white walkers, and they figure out that the ice is frozen enough to walk on again. All they had to do was wait for Daenerys to pull up with her dragons.

this is absolutely hilarious and horribly frustrating yet satisfying that someone has pointed it out, all wrapped up neatly. nice job. stupidest moment ever? when we use the word 'moment' instead of general writing flaws and plot holes, probably when Dany chose to drink Starbucks instead of Tormund's soured goat milk, which would have bonded them closely when she was struggling with feeling out of place in Winterfell.

You could tell the actor who plays Varys was visibly upset at the table reading at what they did with his character.

After 2 years, i still need videos that feed my resentment for this shit.

My view with Jon surviving charging the Boltons is that the lord of light was protecting him - the way he dodged the blows is almost magical, he’s the prince that was promised

I agree that #15, "Jon charging Ramsay's army and surviving" is a hilarious example of plot armor, but...damn it was dramatic and effective :)

Night King: Kills Theon in like 2 seconds right away Also Night King: Holds onto Arya and waits for her to stab him

To add to your point of the dothraki charging the army of the dead. You said maybe because they got excited about the flaming swords. The things is, is that Melisandre used her magic to do it and they were like "awesome!" But in season one the dothraki almost killed Danny for letting the witch use her magic on Drogo and to my understanding the dothraki have always hated magic and witches. Thanks Dan and Dave

“Dany sort of… forgot about the Iron Fleet”

For #25 those quippy semi funny lines made me realise that season 8 is basically a Marvel movie

like the Dothraki taking revenge against jon for killing dany is literally PART OF THEIR CULTURE.....IT LITERALLY STATES THAT WHEN A KHAL DIES HIS BLOOD RIDERS AVENGE HIS DEATH AND THEN JOIN HIM IN THE NIGHTLANDS

I think for me the Night King’s death was the most insulting and stupid moment. Such a compelling and mysterious villain with so much build-up, finally enacting his plans with full force, only to get 360 noscoped in an instant by someone he’d otherwise obliterate instantly. So many interesting questions with so much potential story were erased by some nonsensical ninja bullshit. I felt physical pain watching that. That isn’t an exaggeration.

The warped faces at the start of each section really elevates this already superb video even further

Thanks for including music from Witcher 1 during this. :) Unforgettable. Instantly recognizable.

Another stupid moment is when Bran says there is missing a master of whispers...like..he can see and hear everything in any time, but he needs a master of whispers?

In their heads they thought that having Arya kill the night king was a huge plot twist that would make the audience go holy shit and get a similar effect as that of the red wedding. I'm sure they were really proud when they came up with this shit.

Really glad someone else brought up the Dothraki cavalry charge. I mean, I could almost see them setting the cavalry a mile off to charge through the rear elements of the wights when it was most desperately needed, kinda like when Jon fell off his dragon. But a headlong charge into the mouth of the beast? Stupid

I would argue that Jaime charging at Danny is not that stupid. There is a literal battle going on around them so no way she would hear him coming and if he is fast enough he could maybe throw his spear at her and kill her. Now that would be a suicide but he would do it protecting his men, he killed the Mad King to stop him from burning down a lot of innocent people and now he tries to save his men from the same fate.

The stupid thing about hiding people in the crypts is how suddenly the undead gain superhuman strength and can easily punch through solid slabs of rock as if they were made out of paper..

You forgot Benjen Stark’s extremely unnecessary and random death/appearance to save Jon.

The last distorted Bran's picture killed me man, you are an artist *hatsoff*

20:37 Who ends up apprehending Jon Snow after he stabs and kills Daenerys Targaryen? From what I remember, this is the “timeline” of shots: 1. Dany & Jon kiss 2. Jon stabs Dany 3. Drogon shows up, stares Jon down, nudges Dany’s body, roars, melts the Iron Throne, picks up Dany’s body and leaves 4. Drogon flies over the water into the clouds & smoke **cut to black** 5. Tyrion laying down handcuffed in a “cell” 6. Grey Worm shows up and brings him to the council meeting in the ruins of the Dragon Pit. So… AGAIN… How was and who arrested Jon Snow? Couldn’t the dude just say “The queen jumped on her dragon, and said she’d be back in a couple of days.” Absolutely no one saw Jon Snow kill Daenerys Targaryen! And even if someone did, couldn’t he just ask for Trial by Combat? The series finale is 1hr18min30secs long… Dan and Dave are retarded for not adding 10 more minutes explaining the arrest and trial of Jon Snow.

number 1: the entirety of season 8

3:35 you don't understand Gendry was rowing that boat for seasons, resting his legs long enough so he could make that one all significant very long distance run.

Thanks for putting TW3 soundtrack in here bro, love it

I think my #1 dumbest moment was Arya’s line of dialogue to Jon *after* Daeny had just committed genocide burning down kings landing, where she said “I know a killer when I see one.” I just- can’t get over it.

Honorable mention: The Dothrakis charge the undead. Only a few stragglers return. Yet at the siege of King's Landing, the entire Dothraki army is intact.

Can we all just pretend that the true finale was the end of S6 when Dany & co. were seen sailing to Dragonstone? S7 & S8 were a fever dream, and all 3 dragons are still alive.

I have a decent idea for why Drogon destroyed the throne instead of killing Jon. (I'm not sure why he wouldn't kill Jon as well, but I do have an idea for why he destroyed the throne.) As we all should know at this point, Dany drove herself mad over becoming the ruler of Westeros. And we all should also know, dragons and their riders have a connection (as we see A LOT more in House of the Dragon) where they can feel each other's emotions and pain. So, Drogon held the throne accountable for driving Dany mad which led to her death, he got upset and destroyed it. If anyone has any counter-opinions or anything I'm missing, feel free to reply! I'm open to constructive criticism and debate. Have a wonderful rest of your day/night, and thank you for taking the time to read my opinion.

always saw/thought of jon snows plot armor as divine protection from the lord of light, him the chosen one and all

I lost braincells over Jaime leaving Brienne

The real question is "why Gendry"? He's the fastest? Says who? What does that even matter? Does he know the area or terrain? Wouldn't Tormund be a better choice since he lives there? Is the concept of scouts alien to these people? Why, exactly, would you bring a blacksmith on the mission to begin with. He has no training in any aspect of the military or survival.

Man I love the witcher music you use on your videos

I agree with everything. One thing I would add is the decision to show Theon's transformation to Reek. In the books Theon was gone after he was betrayed by Ramsey (who was a Stark prisoner in the books) and when he came back in ADOD it was such a shocking moment.

I’m actually legitimately still mad at Jon playing the “hero” and giving the Night king enough time to kill Viscerion.

6:38 is #1. This whole sequence was changed to make a 7th book / season valid when it really was intended to be ended this one. Great vid, can you tear apart the Lost series next. Need some value from my time there too

This was beautifully done

My personal pet peeve is that Dany didn't start suspecting Jon was a Targaryen when the dragons didn't attack him. Then it turns out he can freaking RIDE Rhaegal, and yet Dany accepts that fact without questioning it. What the hell?

I guess D&D forgot that Cersei is obsessed with killing Tyrion because she was convinced he was prophesied to kill her.

Bob the Builder for "Dying to bricks" and ALL of the morphed-face moment covers have me DYING from laughter.

#22 is really so insane and I never thought about the bran point that would’ve made literally the most sense !

Why is no one talking about the stupidity of jon joining the nightwatch again. Like what is there to guard against? You allied with the wildlings, and killed the whitewalkers...so? And how in the hell is there a wall anymore when we literally see it completely destroyed by the ice dragon?

They said it themselves in that one clip - they simply wanted to feel that they outsmarted the fandom by having it be “unpredictable”. They ruined the show just so they could say “see nobody saw that coming!” 🤦🏻‍♀️ The show itself is the saddest death of all.

I completely agree, except for number 16. In my personal opinion, Jamie was so upset over the slaughter of all his troops, and when he saw Daenerys vulnerable, he saw an opportunity to charge and kill her even if it her Dragon definitely would’ve murdered her if he succeeded. Plus it’s just visually stunning. However, I will admit that Daenerys not seeing Bron was very stupid. But possibly maybe she saw bron coming, to save Jamie, but she didn’t see them collapse into the river and so she just assumed that they were burned alive.

And the facet that she didn’t attack the Iron Fleet after they killed Raygall they needed to reload and she was basically in burning distance!

An extra aspect that makes Littlefinger's decision to sell Sansa to the Boltons so dumb, is that Littlefinger appears to genuinely care for her, albeit in a creepy way. But GRRM said at one point that he never would have done this, because he really does want to protect Sansa. It's the only mildly redeeming quality in a character that is an utterly despicable villain in every other respect, and to take that away is just stupid.

Should have been in the list. Cercei wiping out entire Tyrel family, along with other members of the aristocracy, innocent civilians, Pope and religious landmark of the Kingdom but not getting any consequences for her action at all.

Thank you for making this list and easing my frustration.

For number 15 they should have had Jon pickup Rickon and bring him back instead of stupidly charging. That would have been much better imo. It would show compassion, restraint, and intelligence all at once. He wouldn’t need plot armor either. It just boggles my brain wondering why they thought Jon would have just left his little brother on the battle field to get trampled.
