Re: Game of Thrones

I hated Jaime and Cersei's death so much. Jaime leaving Cersei was supposed to be symbolic to Jaime's sense of honor winning over his destructive love for Cersei. Actions are supposed to have consequences and the consequence to Jaime choosing to be an honorable man is to run back to his destruction?
And really, if Jaime were to return to Cersei and die with her, why did he sleep with Brienne? I am willing to give the writers the excuse of, "They entered the world together so they exit the world together. This is the only way to kill them off." But thematically, it comes off cheap and an obvious move to service the fans to have him sleep with Brienne before going back to Cersei.
The unspoken love between Jaime and Brienne is symbolic of Jaime's redemption as a man of honor, and if he and Brienne didn't sleep together it would mean that Jaime was still struggling to conclude his redemption arc; he didn't feel worthy of being with someone as honorable as Brienne. He would have earned the death with Cersei because he gives up his sense of honor to be with the woman he loves, calling back to when he said, "the things I do for love," before pushing Bran out the window. He gives up path toward honor to die with the woman he loves.
Sleeping with Brienne but not returning to Cersei (or at least return to be the one to murder her) would have completed the redemption arc. Jaime has accepted that he can be honorable, because he is with an honorable woman who brings out the best in him. He has fully accepted that he is worthy of her. And let's say he sleeps with Brienne and returns to kill Cersei, even then the words of, "the things I do for love," will still have meaning. His love for Cersei pushes him to kill her to save the 7 kingdoms from another violent battle. And also, it rings back to him being called "King's Slayer", and again, it would have forced him to make this impossible choice and his sense of honor motivates him to commit a murder that he doesn't want to carry out.
But instead he fucks Brienne and goes back to Cersei because he feels like he needs to die with Cersei. Because D&D subverted our expectations and for some reason that's supposed to be the real good writing. We thought Jaime was able to call himself a man of honor after fighting in the North with Brienne and knighting her and confessing to her he loved her and sleeping with her, but NO! All that character growth and seeds being planted are thrown out the window because D&D wanted to subvert our expectations by reverting Jaime back to being a selfish idiot. And maybe give fan service to the Cersei stans by giving her a beautifully sad and emotional death with the one character left who she has any fond feelings toward.

And Euron should have just been burned by Drogon. That stupid fight was such a waste of time. No one cared.

As a Cersei fan, I can say that I and the others I know of didn't want it. She's evil and glorious for it. I wanted her to go out spectacularly. I wanted a spectacular death at the specific hands of someone she wronged. I did not want this.
