MASSIVE spoilers ahead. The final season of Game of Thrones has finally picked up pace after a fairly disappointing initial episodes. In the latest episode titled The Bells, tons of people died, important and otherwise, and King’s Landing is now an absolute shambles courtsey Daenerys, her fiery child and her army who all seem to have gone as mad as her. This is an episode worthy of the team that gave us the Red Wedding. One character death that a lot of people don’t seem to have minded is that of Euron Greyjoy. A lot of fans are calling out the rather pointless fight scene that lead to his death. After Drogon rains fire on the Iron Fleet, Euron somehow manages to escape by jumping overboard into the water. Later into the episode, he manages to run into Jaime on the beach who’s on his way to track down Cersei and escape. The prick that he is, Euron picks a fight with Jaime after telling him he banged his sister and that he’d bring Jaime’s severed head to Cersei for one final kiss. Jaime does manage to kill Euron but not before being severely wounded by Euron. Euron doesn’t seem too fussed about dying though, going by his last words (“Another king for you. But I got you! I’m the man who killed Jaime Lannister.”) I guess Euron Greyjoy had the last laugh though, because while Jaime might not have died at Euron’s hands, he did meet an end that was just as sticky. How did you like this scene?<doc-sep>SPOILER ALERT: Euron was finally killed by Jaime during Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones. Fans are pissed about how pointless the scene was and are letting out their feelings on Twitter. Spoilers for this week’s episode of Game of Thrones lie below. A lot went down in tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones, but one of the most major moments came when the show’s resident f*ckboi Euron Greyjoy finally died. . In case you were too busy hyperventilating to really take it all in, here’s what happened: Euron and his fleet are chilling like literal villains in the water outside King’s Landing. And due to being incredibly dumb, Euron doesn’t realize he’s in an obvious trap until the last second, when he looks up into the sky and sees Drogon raining fire down on all his ships. Euron ends up jumping overboard right before getting caught in a blast, but later in the episode, he and Jaime come face-to-face on the beach (LOL) and have a massive fight after Euron is all “I f*cked the queen.” Which, naturally, results in Euron getting dead and Jaime getting super injured. And honestly, fans think the entire scene was super pointless/idiotic/pandering, and no one was here for it. This content is imported from Twitter.

HBO In the wake of the Last War and Daenerys Targaryen’s violent rampage at King’s Landing, the fifth episode of Game of Thrones’ final season was the end for a lot of characters, including one of the show’s most hated villains: Euron Greyjoy. And yes, he knows how unpopular his character was. “You’re probably only going to do a character like Euron Greyjoy once in your life because he’s such a fucking idiot,” Pilou Asbæk, who played Euron on the hit HBO series, told BuzzFeed News. “And you don’t want to keep doing those roles because you want to develop as well, but he was so much fun and I love the character. It’s fun being the guy the world hates the most just for a couple of days, as long as it’s only temporary.” Euron and his Iron Fleet pledged allegiance to Cersei Lannister and her army — they even managed to take down Rhaegal the dragon — but they were ultimately defeated by Daenerys as she rode through King’s Landing on Drogon, her last remaining dragon, burning the city. A smarmy and evil man even to his death, Euron, his fleet obliterated by Drogon, confronts Jaime Lannister after being washed ashore and initiates a battle that ends with them stabbing each other. Jaime leaves Euron alone to die, bleeding on the shore of King’s Landing. “When you’re away doing a movie or a TV show 200 days a year, you want to enjoy your character,” Asbæk said. “And I can tell you one thing: I have not had one dull moment playing Euron Greyjoy, not one.” Asbæk added that his haters don’t bother him. He also accepts the wrath of the GoT fandom because he understands that “some people can’t detach” the actor from his character, and “the hardcore fans...are just passionate.” The Danish actor was also happy to play a villain since Euron was such a departure from the roles he’s used to playing. HBO “I’ve always been the hero,” Asbæk said. “And it’s been wonderful being the main lead, it’s been marvelous because the characters have been able to help so many people, but it’s also a little bit boring. “For once in my life, I actually got a chance to play theater on a television.” A reader of the original Game of Thrones books by George R. R. Martin, Asbæk said he thought Euron’s character on the show would be more similar to his literary portrayal. “I wouldn’t have minded if he was a little more like a Dark Lord,” he said. But the actor said he ultimately “loved” the way GoT showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss wrote Euron because he enjoyed having the opportunity to play a character who was “over the top.” “Being a bit of a self-centered actor, you always want more screen time and you always want more dimensional work,” Asbæk said. “But there wasn’t room for it because I got into this very late, so the scenes I had I just wanted to make memorable.” Asbæk told BuzzFeed News he first learned about his death at a table read with the rest of the cast for Season 8, Episode 5, and that he was happy his character made it as far as he did into the series.

*Spoilers* Jaime Lannister ~finally~ killed Euron Greyjoy during last night's episode of Game of Thrones, in a fight scene on the beach of King's Landing. But fans on Twitter are super angry about the whole thing, blasting the scene as 'pointless' and 'boring'. Savage. Despite the fact we know we should expect to feel all the feelings during Game of Thrones series 8, every episode still gives us a lot of drama to process. One of the most major moments of last night's episode, 'The Bells', came when Euron Greyjoy finally died, following a fight scene with Jaime Lannister. In case you were watching it through your fingers and need a refresh, Euron and his fleet were chilling in the water outside King's Landing, completely unaware of the obvious trap they had walked floated into. Euron didn't realise until the last second, when he looked up to see Drogon raining fire down onto his ships. While Euron manages to jump overboard and flee before getting caught in the blast, he eventually ends up face to face with Jaime on the beach, where he comes to a messy end - while Jaime ends up super injured. HBO Sadly the fight scene didn't quite cut it for lots of fans, with many taking to Twitter to share their complaints on the pointless / predictable / even 'embarrassing' (savage) scene. euron v jaime is literally the last thing i wanted #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/dpF2raIiFx — Kendra⚡️ (@lxcaustic) May 13, 2019 this jaime/euron scene is literally a thing... they filmed.... to put... in this episode.......... — lead sandworm from dune 2021 (@liesandarbor) May 13, 2019 Jamie and euron.
