Game Of Thrones
Though it was a hugely popular series when it was on the air , the final season ofGame of Throneswas factious , to say the least . The main complaint with fans was that , after eight farsighted seasons , the characters they loved did n’t get satisfying termination . While sports fan have to assume the ending of the show , the books could give more of what fans was hoped for .
George R.R. Martin has two more books pass on in hisSong of Ice and Fireseries , and he has confirmed thatthe ending will share similarity with the showwhile also having notable difference . cognize what fans do from the two version of the tale , it can be predicted which character fromGame of Throneswill have different close in the books and which will be the same .
Updated on July 14th , 2021 , by Colin McCormick : More than a yr subsequently and George R.R. Martin ’s next novel in the series , The Winds of Winter , does n’t seem to be much faithful to being relinquish . However , in the meantime , Martin has spoken about the reception of the concluding time of year of Game of Thrones and hinted that there may be some big changes from how he ends the tale . With so many iconic lineament that have only become more famous and beloved since the show ’s coda , there are many termination that will sure as shooting be different in the volume as well as the ones that will in all likelihood be the same .
Different: Barristan Selmy
Though he was regarded by other characters as the enceinte fencer in Westeros , Barristan Selmy did n’t have much of an encroachment when he was on the show . He startle out as a imposing yet static member of Robert ’s kingsguard before joining Daenerys ’s run and finally dying in Mereen at the hands of the Sons of the Harpy .
In the books , Selmy is not only a more interesting ally to Daenerys but has outlived his show counterpart . By the end of A Dance of Dragons , Daenerys has fled Mereen , several armies are smother the urban center , and Selmy is overseeing the potty . He seems doom to do some magnanimous things and belike die in a much more glorious way .
Same: Shireen
Shireen was one of the rare innocent fictional character in the show which made her death all the more unendurable . hop that a line sacrifice would help to see his triumph in the upcoming warfare , Stannis Baratheon agrees to have his girl burned alive as she screams for him to aid her .
As perScreen Crush , it has already been confirmed that Martin was the one who told the showrunners that this barbarous twist was in store for Shireen . At this point in the books , Stannis is camp outside Winterfell with his United States Army which likely mean Shireen will be an early casualty inThe Winds of Winter .
Different: Euron Greyjoy
Euron Greyjoy was one of the more factious part in the belated season of the show . Some fans found him a peculiar and colorful side scoundrel while others saw him as unneeded and annoying . In any fount , he made it to the next-to-last episode before being kill by Jaime Lannister .
Some fans might be surprised to learn that Euron is one of the more terrific villains in the Christian Bible and far from the henchman he looks like in the show . In fact , he is emerging as perhaps the biggest scourge and will sure not go out in some random fight .
Same: Hodor
One of the most heartbreaking moments in the show was the Apocalypse of Hodor ’s origins as it led to his death . Hodor is left to obtain back the army of undead creature while Bran and the others escape , all the while the phrasal idiom " Hold the door " repetition in his head .
This is another death that Martin told the showrunners about andrecently confirmed it will hap similarly in the Holy Scripture . He pointed out that the moment will not be so literal as Hodor hold a threshold , but that he will make a heroic viewpoint in society to allow his admirer to escape .
Different: Catelyn Stark
As if the dying of Robb Stark at theRed Wedding was n’t traumatic enough for audience , the installment end with Catelyn Stark having her pharynx cut as well . Catelyn was the loving and brave materfamilias of the Stark family and see her go was another devastating gust .
Of course , Holy Writ fan were under the impression that they would see Catelyn again as she is resurrect and becomes the revengeful Lady Stoneheart . As with any version , some things from the reference material are lose . So while Catelyn ’s story on the show ends at the Red Wedding , she still has a part to play in the book .
Same: Bran Stark
One of the most bewildering aspects of the finish for most fans was Bran Stark being name King of the Seven Kingdoms . There had been guess about all the likely characters who could sit on the Iron Throne but Bran was rarely a hypothesis . As unexpected as it was , fans can play Martin has the same plan .
The decisiveness of who will sit on the Iron Throne seems like one that the showrunners would have consulted Martin about . However , while the show kick in the lame self-justification that Bran " has the best narrative " being the ground he is made power , the books will likely focalize on his all - seeing might as the reason .
Different: Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion Lannister is a fan favoriteof the show and Martin himself has say he is his own favourite fictional character . However , the way the show has deal with Tyrion ’s arc palpate much dissimilar from how the books will distribute with it .
As of the latest Bible , Tyrion has yet to take on Daenerys . Fans can expect that he will follow the same path of joining her campaign . However , the show does n’t make Tyrion pay for his sins and mistakes very much as he ends the series with a skillful spot as Hand of the King . Fans can have a bun in the oven Martin to give Tyrion a much less well-chosen ending in which he faces severe consequences .
Same: Arya Stark
In the script , Arya is still in training to become a deathly assassinator . The show really embraced that side of her in the final season , making her the deadliest person in Westeros and the one who in the end killed the Night King . When it is all over , Arya decides to explore the unexplored parts of the world , leave behind Westeros behind .
This was one of the more satisfying endings on the show . Arya has go through so much modification in this story that she is not the same footling young woman fans once make out . When her fib come to an close , there ’s probably nothing to keep her in Westeros and further adventures look her beyond .
Different: The Hound
One of the moments fans had been wanting since the first season of the show was the " Cleganebowl " . This was based on the theory that Sandor " The Hound " Clegane and his buddy , Gregor " The Mountain " Clegane would face off in an larger-than-life engagement before the floor ends .
fan got this in the show as The Hound and The Mountain have a engagement to the death as King ’s landing place burn . However , this is not the kind of fan service Martin seems interested in . Fans can carry The Hound ’s narrative will end in a much quieter way , focusing on his buyback .
Same: Jaime Lannister
Jaime Lannister has had maybe the most significant arc in the entire serial . He went from one of the most hated villain on the show to becoming one of the most democratic Heron . But many fan were displeased by Jaime ’s end as he abandoned Brienne to return to Cersei and pall as the Red Keep break down on them .
Though he has gone through an even greater change in the Quran , it ’s likely Jaime will eventually choose to be with Cersei . Many have pointed to a prophecy in the show suggest that Jamie will be the one who kills Cersei . This might be true , but it ’s potential to be a mercy kill as they face dying together .
