I don't know that this scene or his interactions with Margaery really humanized him more, to me (could never tell where he might have been learning something vs. delighted on a very surface level by a new experience and possible chance to manipulate people) but I definitely find his death very bitter. I'm happy that his reign is over. I'm happy he can't terrorize anyone any more. But his whole life was deeply tragic to me. Every single adult in his life failed him (Robert through abuse, Cersei through enabling him, Jaime through never caring, Tywin both indirectly through emotional abuse of his children and more directly through negligence toward him until it was too late, and Tyrion through negligence, too much frustration/little patience and being ineffectual and disrespected anyway).

I don't want to woobify him. It doesn't excuse ANY of his behavior. But it is humanizing, and it's sad. Watching him die terrified instead of get better brought me zero satisfaction. I don't think it's really supposed to, either, though obviously ymmv.
