Game of Thrones ended its eight seasons on Sunday with more bloodshed and an unexpected figure crowned the new ruler of Westeros.

The ending began with a triumphant queen, Queen Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), praising the warriors who helped her crush the city of King’s Landing and approach her ultimate goal: the Iron Throne, which would allow her to lead the seven kingdoms in the continental part of Westeros.
His adviser Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) searched the ruins of the red dungeon and found the bodies of his brothers Cersei and Jaime (Lena Headey and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).
Shortly after, Dany condemned Tyrion to death for helping his brother, who was previously imprisoned, to escape and try to save his sister.
Jon Snow (Kit Harington) begged Dany to show her mercy to Tyrion and the survivors of King’s Landing, but she refused, convinced that her way of governing was the only solution.
Jon then promised her his love for his queen, his love and his aunt, but fatally stabbed her while standing in front of the iron throne.
